Chapter 541: At the Genetic Level, Only One's Own Kind is Safest

Two jin of arsenic?

Isn't that a bit much?

Setting aside the question of life or death.

Two jin of arsenic would probably be impossible to digest.

What a waste.

At her place, it's measured directly by the jin.

You can't just talk nonsense without limits; swallowing two jin of arsenic and still healing yourself? Even if Superman showed up, he'd lie on the ground spitting foam.

Yu Dazhang knew she was using a metaphor.

But this metaphor is a bit too outrageous.

However, from another perspective, it's also clear that the side effects are indeed very severe.

On a global scale, there are indeed substances with such intense toxicity.

"Then what is there left to research?"

Without realizing it, Yu Dazhang raised his voice a few notches:

"These side effects simply cannot be eliminated by neutralization, unless..."

He stopped suddenly as he spoke.

He had previously encountered knowledge in this area, and now a thought automatically sprang to his mind.

Fearful expression on his face, he stared tightly at Ying Xuelian's eyes, as if trying to get an answer from them.

Ying Xuelian nodded lightly:

"Clinical trials."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer from her, Yu Dazhang finally understood why she had previously called this project "anti-human."

The most effective, Quick method is to use the human immune system to produce an antitoxin serum.

"So, the experiment is stuck at this final step?"

When Yu Dazhang asked this question, he felt his heart skip half a beat.

He was terrified that Ying Xuelian would give a different answer.

Fortunately, Ying Xuelian answered quickly:

"That's right; this final step is both the hurdle and the bottom line, so the team has been seeking alternative paths, wanting to find other methods to overcome this hurdle."

That makes sense... Yu Dazhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Why not use animals for experiments?

He only thought about this question for a moment before rejecting it himself.

After all, he is considered Ying Xuelian's closing disciple; such a stupid question could not come from his mouth.

Some germs are harmful to humans but cause no harm to animals; the reason is genetic differences.

The simplest example.

Often, when a family infects each other and everyone catches a cold, it doesn't spread to the pet dog.

This is genetic difference.

Similarly, the research team's results are targeted at humans, and they are also studying human genes.

At this point, forcing animals to get involved would just artificially make it a matter of humans versus beasts.

Not all experiments can utilize animals.

If animals were truly universal, blood banks wouldn't have shortages, and organ transplants wouldn't require waiting in line for matching.

At the genetic level, only one's own kind is the safest; everything else is nonsense.

"No wonder the military took it seriously later."

Yu Dazhang couldn't help muttering to himself.

Ying Xuelian naturally knew what his words referred to.

The research team on the state's side speaks of principles and has a bottom line, but that doesn't mean others can do the same.

Once this research achievement falls into the hands of lawless people, many innocent people will inevitably be dragged in for experiments.

It's heinous.

Yu Dazhang didn't dare to think about it in detail.

Pouring two jin of arsenic down one's throat; just thinking about that sensation makes one feel a mix of pain and thrill.

This time the conversation was satisfying, but Yu Dazhang also felt a bit regretful; it would be better not to know such things.

If the secret leaks one day and they pin it on him, that would be too unjust.

"Why did we have to talk about this?"

Yu Dazhang couldn't help complaining:

"Actually, I didn't really want to know either,"

He felt he had been tricked by Ying Xuelian.

During the journey from the airport to the hotel, there were clearly only the two of them, yet Ying Xuelian didn't mention a single word about this matter.

It was precisely during the gap when Qu Tuotuo went out to make a phone call that she suddenly brought up this topic.

It was also this gap that successfully made Yu Dazhang lower his guard.

Giving him the illusion that such an opportunity was rare.
