Chapter 472 Anthropomorphic Body
Atlon Oasis City.
The pillar industry here is biopharmaceuticals.
Five subsidiaries, including Qingye Medical, Luzon Bio and Suez Pharmaceuticals, have set up laboratories or production bases here.
Of course, there are many projects that are designed to deceive people.
Anyway, Sapiens has made a lot of investments around the world, especially in regions where it has established fully-authorized branches, and the related investments are innumerable.
Even if the outside world sees some of the investment projects announced on the official website, it is actually difficult to analyze any useful information.
The intelligence confidentiality system of the Sapiens Company is so powerful that it requires a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck for the outside world to find out a little bit of useful information.
For example, the biopharmaceutical industry in the Oasis City of Atlon. Sapiens also has two other biopharmaceutical bases in Africa, one in the desert oasis of Numidia and the other on the western coast of Mada Island.
Moreover, many forces have discovered a pattern, that is, the industries openly announced by the Homo Sapiens Company generally do not involve confidential information. Instead, the industries hidden underground are the real secrets.
This time, the Sapiens company went against the grain and built a biopharmaceutical base directly in Atlon Oasis City, which made the outside world pay less attention to this place.
Aoba Medical's Atron branch.
As a subsidiary named after Li Qingye himself, this subsidiary is also the place where he often works.
Atlona Primate Pathology Laboratory (internal number 8807).
Li Qingye was doing some scientific research here at this time.
Of course, the aerospace mothership that escorted him before has already flown away, and Li Qingye’s exclusive stand-in has also gone with it. The stand-in will represent him and go back to the Southeast Asia headquarters to make several public appearances.
He himself stayed in the Oasis City of Atlon.
The scientific director of the 8807 laboratory is a black scientist .
"Dr. Gu Dan, tell me about the situation in the laboratory!"
“No problem, Mr. Chairman!” Gu Dan looked at the man in front of him with great respect, and then calmed down his excitement a little:
"We spent about half a year conducting a relatively comprehensive physical examination of the entire Meroe and Chad region, and a total of 80 million people have been examined."
The more Gu Dan spoke, the calmer he became: "Through full gene testing and exclusive gene analysis supercomputer analysis, we have obtained some very useful data."
"Is it the natural antibody against AIDS, dengue fever, malaria, or Ebola?" Li Qingye guessed it instantly.
Gu Dan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Chairman, after decades of natural selection, the human population in Africa now generally has some natural antibodies to some local prevalent diseases."
Of course, Gu Dan still had some things to say, and Li Qingye knew it clearly. As a top biologist, he was very clear about the nature of the so-called natural evolution.
It's nothing more than the survival of the fittest, the fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated.
Those local people who did not produce antibodies had long been ravaged by endless diseases and became typical examples of evolutionary failure.
The outside world only knows that Africans have extremely strong immunity to malaria , but few people know that the price of this immunity is the pile of hundreds of millions of bones.
Li Qingye put down the tablet in his hand and sighed softly: "The road to evolution is a life-and-death struggle. If you don't succeed, you will die."
"..." Gu Dan also fell silent.
Behind these data is indeed a bloody reference reality.
"Let's go to the anthropomorphic experiment area and take a look!"
Gu Dan, who had regained consciousness, stood up hastily and said, "Mr. Chairman, please follow me."
Deep underground in the laboratory.
Li Qingye and Gu Dan, who came down from the elevator, were already wearing full-scale biological protective suits.
Although it is an underground base, it is not eerie like in movie scenes. Instead, it is very bright.
After all, this is reality, and scientists are also human beings. Except for psychopaths, who would like to work in a gloomy and terrifying environment?
Open a room.
There are rows of culture chambers displayed inside, and through the transparent observation windows, you can see what's going on inside the chambers.
Inside the incubator, a piece of meat is growing.
This is the "anthropomorphic body", a special creature created through genetic recombination, cloning and biological modification.
To be precise, this thing is similar to human cloning, because both use human genes as the mother body to clone the body.
However, there are several differences between anthropomorphic bodies and clones. Anthropomorphic bodies do not have brains, but instead use artificial brains composed of biochips to replace the human brain.
Another point is that the anthropomorphic body is not human-shaped, but a rectangular "piece of meat". This is mainly to avoid the uncanny valley effect and to reduce the moral burden.
In other aspects, the anthropomorphic body has organs, bones, muscles, blood vessels and genes that are highly similar to those of humans, while the artificial brain composed of biochips can sense various changes in the body.
Therefore, this type of anthropomorphic body is usually used as a substitute for human experiments.
After all, the number of human scum who can be used as experimental subjects is limited. If we want to quickly develop drugs, medical technologies, and evaluate the harm of substances to the human body, human experiments are definitely indispensable.
Although the Smart People Company does not have too much psychological burden towards outsiders, it still has a bottom line for its own employees.
India, which was once the world's largest region for human experiments, has now become a thing of the past.
It is naturally impossible for Sapiens Company to test drugs on its own employees.
Therefore, finding a suitable human substitute has become an urgent task at present.
After all, European and American pharmaceutical companies really have no bottom line. After losing India and Southeast Asia, which are convenient regions for drug testing, they have now turned to Aztec, Central America, and Western Africa.
In order to ensure its absolute leadership in biotechnology, Sapiens must also conduct human experiments.
Li Qingye personally took charge of the project, and after more than a year of secret research and development, the anthropomorphic project was finally successful. Currently, Qingye Medical can produce 500,000 to 1 million anthropomorphic bodies every year.
In all biological laboratories of Sapiens, anthropomorphic bodies will be used instead of natural humans whenever content involves the human body.
The effects of anthropomorphic and human experiments are almost the same, and because they can be customized and subjected to extreme operations, a lot of experimental data that were previously difficult to test can be obtained.
After all, normal human experiments require the active cooperation of volunteers, but many volunteers only verbally agree to cooperate, which does not mean that they will fully cooperate.
For example, if the experiment involves life-threatening situations, volunteers are unlikely to cooperate.
There is no such concern for anthropomorphic bodies.
Therefore, the invention of the anthropomorphic body is a huge change in human biology.
In the past, pharmaceutical manufacturing required complicated in vitro and animal experiments, which had to go through various reviews before human trials could be conducted. After all that trouble, it would take at least three years to develop anything.
Now Sapiens uses anthropomorphic humans for experiments directly, which can simulate the effects of drugs and medical technologies on the human body, saving a lot of time and avoiding ethical risks.
Those poor chimpanzees in Africa finally don't have to sacrifice themselves for human medicine.
Several projects that Li Qingye is currently working on have also reached the anthropomorphic experiment stage.
