Great Power Technology - #591 - Chapter 582 Wrong direction
From the man’s mouth, Ye Zhou did not get any information he wanted, because the other man’s medical knowledge was too lacking, and all his descriptions of the experiment were limited to two words: “taking medicine” and “injection.”
When Ye Zhou mentioned terms such as “transplantation” or “immune reconstruction” to him, he showed complete confusion.
Perhaps he had heard these words in previous experiments, but they had never entered his mind because he did not care at all.
Compared with the vague terminology and the so-called “curative effect” that has nothing to do with him, what he cares more about is the 500 rand that will be sent to him after each experiment.
To him, it was a lot of money – enough to keep him fed for two weeks.
Ye Zhou left the man’s tent helplessly. He already knew the man’s name – Huo Bo, which was a name translated from English. But from Huo Bo’s experience, Ye Zhou could not see any hope.
Alone, seriously ill, addicted to gambling, he does not produce any value to this society. Even if he is allowed to leave here and regain his freedom, I am afraid it will only slowly rot like a pile of garbage.
On the day he died, no one would cry for him, and even those who had been hurt by his misdeeds would applaud him.
Are most people here like this?
Ye Zhou was suddenly a little confused.
If these people are like Hobo, then it seems that the best destination for them is to let them undergo medical experiments in this not very “humane” experimental hall?
Not only can you support yourself, but you can also provide immeasurable value to the entire world.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of sacrifice.
Ye Zhou shook his head and continued to walk towards the other experimenters. He carefully controlled his movements, language, and demeanor to make it look like he was chatting as much as possible. After all, he didn’t want to be caught by the security personnel again. Get up and beat violently.
The real pain is a trivial matter, and the time lost cannot be made up for.
After wandering around, Ye Zhou returned to his seat. He rummaged around and found a wrinkled shirt from under the bed. The cuffs of the shirt were lightly embroidered to mark a familiar luxury brand. Indicates the identity of the shirt’s owner.
In fact, it is no longer important to Ye Zhou how the character he played fell down. The most important thing now is to find the most critical link in this simulation to figure out the context of the whole thing.
Now the clues in his hand are too scattered, and there is not much room for maneuver. He can only calm down and wait patiently for key events to appear.
According to Ye Zhou’s previous experience, if that event occurs, new memory streams will also flow in. Only then will he be able to truly start the simulation.
He lay quietly in his tent, constantly reorganizing and analyzing the current information in his mind, and the framework of ASPEN’s immune reconstruction project gradually became clear.
Judging from the descriptions of these experimenters, it is obvious that they are taking a brand-new therapy, and it is likely to be related to CD34+ HSC-HIS therapy.
This therapy has appeared in the past few years. Its principle is to inoculate human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells into irradiated immunodeficient mice for immune reconstitution, using the CD34+ HSC-HIS model.
After the immune reconstruction is completed, the human body will have immunity to specific diseases, which has great advantages especially in tumor treatment.
However, their steps do not seem to stop there. What they are doing is more like an extension of the combination of CD34+ HSC-HIS model and stem cell therapy. If Ye Zhou describes it, it is not so much immune reconstruction as it is Immune adaptation.
As we all know, bone marrow is only a relatively mature area of the immune system. The human immune system is not purely produced by bone marrow. Therefore, traditional immune reconstruction programs cannot treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and HIV. To take a critical step in the treatment of these diseases, we must rely on immune adapter technology.
In other words, through composite stem cells, the immune system that has been infected by the virus is replaced – perhaps not a real replacement, but using some kind of technology to allow the new cells to gradually erode the old cells and eventually replace them.
This is an extremely risky technology, but it can also explain why there are so many tumor patients in this experimental hall in addition to patients with immunodeficiency diseases.
They are all selected experimental subjects, and each one has their own place.
Ye Zhou couldn’t help but sigh, these capitalists have indeed achieved the ultimate in cost control and system optimization.
Ye Zhou sat up again. The stuffy air in the tent made it hard for him to breathe. He wanted to go outside to get some air, but as soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw a group of people gathered together, as if something was happening.
He stepped forward curiously, struggled to push his way through the crowd, and walked to the center. What he saw was an extremely terrifying scene.
A man was lying on the ground. His whole body was purple-red, with blood and ulcers oozing everywhere on his skin. Dark black blood was spitting out from his mouth, mixed with a large amount of blood clots, and his body was already wet. , exuding a disgusting stench.
“What happened to him?”
Ye Zhou asked.
“I don’t know. It was fine for the past two days, but suddenly it’s like this – maybe it’s AIDS. Look, isn’t this a typical symptom of AIDS?”
Ye Zhou frowned. Judging from what he saw now, ulceration, vomiting blood, and gangrene were indeed signs of late-stage AIDS. However, how could AIDS break out within two days?
Onlookers also commented that everything was fine before – this is an important message.
An idea flashed through Ye Zhou’s mind. He squatted down and carefully opened the man’s arm. He saw large and small pinholes on his arm, and those pinholes seemed to have never healed since they were created. .
This is an extremely rare phenomenon. Logically speaking, even diseases of the immune system would not cause this condition.
He ran to his tent to get a bottle of water, moistened a rag and wiped the man’s face clean, and then he found the answer.
The man’s face was obviously jaundiced, and when the three terms jaundice, hemorrhage, and immune reconstruction were combined together, there was only one conclusion left.
DIC.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Because of the rejection reaction in the immune reconstruction experiment, the coagulation mechanism in the blood of men was diffusely activated, causing extensive damage to tissues and organs, and has now entered the initiation stage.
The survival rate of this disease does not exceed 20%, and under current medical conditions, it is obvious that men cannot receive proper treatment.
In other words, his death was certain.
Ye Zhou stood up heavily and asked:
“Are there many people like him?”
The people around were silent for a moment, and then replied:
“It seems quite a lot – the fourth time this month, right?”
Ye Zhou suddenly realized that he had finally found the goal of this simulation.
ASPEN’s research direction is wrong.
If they continue in the original direction, not only will the immune reconstruction technology fail to succeed, but countless poor people will continue to die as a result!
