"Can this special protein be synthesized artificially?"
Hearing Gu Haiming mention the issue of concentration, Xia Xu was also thoughtful.
Regardless of whether it is a drug or something, talking about the effect regardless of the dosage is a hoax. The reason why this special protein is ineffective on the human body may really have quantitative factors.
There may also be something like absorption efficiency. Gene fusion modified humans like Yao Fu have stronger cell activity and tissue strength, and may also have a more efficient application mechanism.
"No, I have already tried this. At least for the time being, we cannot artificially synthesize this protein."
Gu Haiming shook his head slightly and gave a result that was not very unexpected.
He then continued: "However, the synthesis of this protein is very strange and shows a mechanism similar to that of endorphins. The concentration of these special proteins in my body will increase significantly under severe pain and fear stimulation. According to my speculation, strenuous exercise Or near death, intense pressure, a sense of crisis, etc. will also be effective."
"Oh? Then assuming that this special protein can really enhance the human body, wouldn't this mechanism be equivalent to the potential explosion at a critical moment?"
Xia Xu looked interested.
As expected, biological knowledge was more attractive. If it weren't for his limited talent and the threshold for such a subject was too high, he would have wanted to follow Gu Haiming to further his studies in this area.
"The human body is an extremely sophisticated and complex system. In order to survive and reproduce, there are already a large number of life-sustaining and crisis response mechanisms. However, in order to save limited resources and prevent damage, various corresponding functional restrictions have arisen."
Gu Haiming smiled.
He did not give specific examples, but probably any ordinary person could name a few such cases.
The most familiar and miraculous hormones are adrenaline and other hormones, as well as the endorphins just mentioned. Their functions are usually to relieve pain, calm down, and even produce a sense of happiness such as joy.
This effect is generally considered to be a kind of pain compensation, because endorphins are often produced when suffering pain, but when resources are not abundant, you must face pain for necessary survival activities such as hunting.
But then I thought about it, isn't this an emergency plan for combat situations?
Experiencing pain means being injured and facing danger. The human body secretes endorphins and other hormones to suppress pain, keep calm, improve concentration, etc. Naturally, the probability of surviving or even winning in a crisis will be higher.
"But if it can't be artificially synthesized, there's no point in knowing this, right? Potential explosion is too metaphysical."
Xia Xu frowned slightly with dissatisfaction.
Even if the special protein really has a strengthening effect and can be synthesized in large quantities in times of crisis, its effect is still too unstable. Who knows how intense the pain and crisis will be to achieve the stimulation conditions.
Just like the often said adrenaline burst, everyone has this function, but there are not many people who can rely on this to complete the counterattack when encountering danger. The endangered explosive species is only exclusive to the protagonist. treatment.
Even if this rapid synthesis mechanism can really be stimulated in times of crisis, whether it will be in time, whether the quantity is sufficient, whether there is material and energy requirements, etc. are all unstable factors, and it is completely a metaphysics.
Therefore, if it cannot be artificially prepared or extracted in large quantities in advance, this special protein may not be of much use in combat.
The problem is that even pre-extraction is difficult. After all, they have no way to intuitively distinguish this special physique, and there are only a handful of people who can synthesize this special protein.
"Yes, I was also worried about this at first, always thinking about how to adjust this mechanism from the cellular or even genetic level, but some of Miss Tang's unintentional remarks just woke me up."
Gu Haiming slightly tilted his head, and when he said this he showed a smile: "Mr.
It still contains a small amount of this protein, and it is always maintained within a certain concentration.
This also shows that our body actually uses this protein as a substance necessary for the operation of the human body.
The large amount of synthesis in pain and crisis is an emergency mechanism, but it does not mean that it is not synthesized in the normal state. Instead, it will be adjusted according to the content in the body at all times to maintain it at a certain concentration. Of course, this is obviously not enough to strengthen the body.
"
When Xia Xu heard this, he immediately understood what Gu Haiming meant: "So, in theory, as long as the special proteins in the body continue to be extracted, the body will always maintain a high rate of synthesis, right?"
"That's right, you just need to keep extracting it. Although it may not be as fast as when you encounter severe pain, it will be much faster than normal. The most important thing is that it can continue to accumulate outside the body, unlike natural situations where it only maintains
An ineffectively low concentration.”
Gu Haiming's expression became excited, and finally he even showed a sickly smile: "Furthermore, who said that pain and anxiety can only be encountered passively? They can be actively created. There are not many ways to quickly produce pain.
We don't need to start with the genes of human cells. As long as we can make a portable device that can continuously extract special proteins and release substances that produce severe pain, we can use it effectively.
No, it should be made into some kind of artificial organ or cloned organ, and used as the second heart of the human body, directly connected to nerves and blood vessels, and participating in blood circulation.
In the daily state, the second heart filters and collects special proteins from the blood circulation, and releases them directly under the control of nerves when necessary, or it actively creates pain and pressure to stimulate the rapid synthesis mechanism of special proteins..."
"Mr. Gu, take it easy, take it easy, I'm afraid you'll just pass away like this."
Seeing Gu Haiming getting more and more excited as he talked, Xia Xu quickly stopped and forcefully stuffed an Ultra Brain Controlled Release tablet into his mouth.
Gu Haiming looks a bit like the mad scientist in some movies who likes to cause trouble and destroys the world with biohazards at every turn, especially since this old man is a psychopath himself and has a background of great suffering and hatred.
However, the second heart mentioned by Gu Haiming did arouse his great interest.
It is difficult to artificially create such an organ and implant it, but it is not too outrageous. It can be said that it has a high probability of being realized.
And once this is realized, wouldn't it be equivalent to a simple and efficient human body modification technology?
Although it is limited to people with their special physique, it is also extremely practical. Although there are few people like them, they are not rare in the world. If a group is selected for implantation, a team can explode at any time.
Plant a super soldier who becomes insane.
Even if they ignore these, it is a profitable method just for extracting a special protein. After all, it can be filtered and condensed at all times. If they want to extract it, they only need to extract the area where the organ gathers, whether it is for re-injection or
It can also be used to activate the wolf clan strengthening serum.
What Gu Haiming is using now is only a temporary measure in the laboratory. It is very troublesome to use. It can only extract a very small part of the body, and it is impossible to sit in the laboratory all the time to extract. If you have a portable device or artificial organ,
If you do the work, the results will definitely be different.
