Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Two weeks later, at the Magic Research Institute, Andrew Tuke had prepared the genetically modified adenovirus.

"We have conducted preliminary experimental verification that the functional levels of elderly mice injected with genetically modified adenovirus are improved compared with similar species, and the aging level is reduced by about 9%."

"9%? That low?"

"Due to the immune effect, the loss of non-replicating viruses is relatively large, but over-administration can cause severe inflammatory reactions. Multiple administration will also face immune problems, and the effect has not been ideal."

In vitro experiments showed an anti-aging effect of about 30%, but in animal experiments it was only 9%. After it actually enters the human body, whether this thing can still work is a question.

However, this is also the norm in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical environment and in vitro experiments are completely different concepts. In vitro drugs are magic drugs, but the complexity of the in vivo environment is many orders of magnitude higher, and the effects of drugs are often marked. Many discounts.

"Has the replicating virus been prepared?" Murphy asked again.

Genetically modified viruses are also viruses. If they are allowed to replicate in the body, they may have unpredictable consequences. Therefore, genetically modified viruses use viruses with replication defects, making them only a one-time tool. They are relatively safe and basically useless. Too many side effects.

But at this time, it seems that non-replicating viruses are obviously difficult to play an effective role. Murphy plans to directly use replicating viruses to conduct soul seed experiments.

"Already prepared."

Soon, Murphy came to the laboratory.

Due to the need to use psychic seeds, the experimental subjects cannot be mice.

This time they found 40 goblins, all of which had been injected with chronic whitening hormone for a long time. They aged very quickly and to the same degree.

The 40 goblins were divided into four groups. Three of the groups, each of 12 goblins, were injected with different doses of virus. They were the experimental groups. The other 4 goblins were not injected with the virus and served as the non-virus control group.

Among the three experimental groups, each group is divided into four secondary groups A, B, C and D. Murphy will release the soul seed spell with different contents on the three goblins in the three secondary groups A, B, C, but not for group D. Unleash the Mind Seed, as a non-spell control.

Murphy released the same spiritual seed on a total of nine goblins in Group A: "After treating aging, they will disintegrate on their own."

Then the spiritual seed used on Group B is: "Maintain the health of the host."

For Group C, Murphy had a sudden idea and did not set the content of the soul seed. Instead, he used a soul seed with a communication interface similar to that of the werewolf mercenaries.

In the next two days, Murphy and others have been observing the status of each goblin.

All the goblins in the high-dose experimental group showed inflammatory reactions, but the performance of group A was relatively stable, the effect of group B was greatly deviated, and the goblins of group C and D were close to death, and one of them was even dead.

Goblin symptoms in the low-dose experimental group were milder, but no significant reduction in aging levels was observed.

The results of the medium-dose group were not bad. Although the inflammatory response of the goblins in Group A was slightly higher than that of the low-dose group, it was within a controllable range, and a significant reduction in aging levels was observed. The effect of group B was similar to that of the low-dose group, while the inflammatory response of group B was higher and the aging level was slightly reduced.

Judging from the situation in Group A, it seems that spiritual seeds are indeed beneficial to the therapeutic effect of genetically modified viruses.

However, more follow-up observations are needed to determine how effective the treatment is and whether there are more side effects.

Murphy guessed that the situation in Group B was related to his orders being too vague.

For further verification, Murphy turned his attention to Group C goblins.

He used a spiritual seed for this group of goblins that had no built-in commands, but could overwrite commands through the connection with the caster. Theoretically, the flexibility was extremely high, but he had not tried this yet. I don't know if this usage is feasible.

Murphy immediately tried to issue an order to a goblin: "Cure the host's aging."

This order can be compared with Group A to test whether the treatment effect of the virus is affected by the subsequent order, but it may take some time to see the results.

Then Murphy gave another order to another Group C goblin: "Escape from the cage or die."

At first, the goblin didn't react much, but soon it became restless and shook the cage frequently. After a few minutes, the goblin went completely crazy, desperately trying to get out of the cage, and even used human language to plead. .

Murphy looked at this scene, even though he had expected it, he still felt a little shocked.

There is no doubt that the virus controls the goblins' behavior. It was impossible for the virus to understand his order, but perhaps through the goblin's brain, they understood and executed it through the goblin.

After a few more minutes, the goblin began to deteriorate visibly, with bleeding coming from his mouth and nose. After a few more minutes, the goblin died.

Murphy waited for a while, extracted some tissue samples from the goblin, and observed its ability to infect animal cells in a culture reagent that added a very small amount of aphrodisiac. Finally, it was confirmed that the virus in the goblin's body had also been lost. live.

Under the influence of the spiritual seed, those viruses not only killed the goblin as the host, but also killed themselves!

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. A virus that is obedient enough to commit suicide is a good virus.

Since the virus can be guaranteed to die on its own, any side effects can be tried as long as they are not severe enough to be fatal.

The safety of treatment is greatly increased.

He was a little relieved after the battle with the shaman. Although based on the highest anti-aging rate of 30% outside the body, this thing would probably be able to temporarily extend his life, but at least he was not afraid of sudden death. .

He felt much more relaxed, and then he became curious about the mechanism by which the mind seed controlled the virus. How did it understand the command "leave the cage"?

If it can understand this command, can it understand more complex commands?

"Write down a number."

The goblin didn't respond.

Murphy thought for a while, "Write the next 2."

For a while, the goblin twitched as if he was suffering from some kind of madness. His hands shook like chaff, but he still drew a crooked number 2 on the ground.

Murphy understood, "It does not understand the instructions, but my instructions are translated into a state that it can execute. If my instructions are too vague, and it does not have the necessary ability to complete the instructions, the instructions will be too big." Probability will fail.”

In this way, the way in which the instruction "treat host aging" is completed is that the genetically modified virus replicates desperately and releases metabolites to complete the repair of the host's DNA.

If it were not for the vampire gene and the adenovirus itself had no anti-aging ability, this instruction would not be effective.

The command "write a 2", for the virus, stimulates the goblin's nervous system, causing it to complete an action of drawing a specific shape on the ground.

Murphy suddenly realized that Funes Bachmann and Omid Abbott had speculated that the seed of the mind could allow viruses or bacteria to generate intelligence with the help of the host's brain. This may be a misunderstanding.

These viruses may just be taken as a whole and become "hardware" and tools under the control of the mind seed.

They may have certain behavior patterns that appear to be intelligent, but behind this behavior pattern, it is actually just the seed of the soul that releases signals to them that they can understand.

If this is indeed the case, aren't these viruses equivalent to biological nanomachines?

Is there any way for them to locate cancer cells in the body and kill them accurately?

If possible, it could replace Car-T therapy and suppress his cancer level to a level that does not affect his life.

In this way, wouldn't his two major symptoms: aging and cancer, be relieved?

At least, you don't have to worry about dying before getting the magic stone.

So the question comes again, how to make the virus recognize and locate cancer cells?
