Chapter 131 Joining the Game and Becoming the Target of Public Criticism!
Today, biotechnology companies have achieved a fairly good degree of gene fusion in many animals.
Some examples include koalas with fangs, invisible mamba snakes, and cheetahs with super endurance, etc. These are the research results of biotechnology companies.
And these genetically modified cyber animals are often used on the battlefield, such as dolphin "agents" acting as spies, or bats with implanted cameras.
More importantly, these modified animals can even overcome the genetic instinct of fearing natural enemies under the regulation of the nerve control center.
For example, controlling a rabbit to attack a tiger.
Now, biotechnology companies are planning to use this technology of genetic modification on humans to help soldiers greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
When genetic technology is mature enough, biotechnology companies can even make it civilian, so that all humans can enjoy the technological benefits of genetic modification.
Seeing that Li Ang seemed to be a little apprehensive, Miles thought that he was worried that the investment in this project would lose money, so he smiled and said:
"Mr. Li Ang, you don't have to worry about the development prospects of this technology. I can assure you that as long as you join this genetic modification plan, it won't be long before LA Company will definitely make a lot of money!"
"The modification method of becoming stronger through gene fusion basically will not cause the human body to have sequelae of cyberpsychosis caused by excessive implantation of prosthetic devices."
What Miles said is actually not unreasonable.
Over the years, various companies have invested a lot of money in the research and development of prosthetic devices, but the accompanying cyberpsychosis without signs has also made many civilians afraid of prosthetics.
Except for the mercenaries who make a living by killing and smuggling, the street boys who fight bravely and fiercely, and the security members who work hard for the company, basically few ordinary people will install cyberprosthetics on themselves.
As for the mercenaries, if it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to risk becoming a mental patient and put these heavy iron lumps on themselves.
If there really is a way to obtain power no less than that of a prosthetic body through genetic modification and fusion, there will definitely be countless desperate people scrambling to try it.
Civilians who also desire power will try to accept this new technological change, and in this way, money will also come along!
"Mr. President, I want to know what research and development stage the genetic modification project of the biotechnology company has reached now. Has it just started research, or has the first batch of finished products been produced?"
Leon was not overwhelmed by the big profit pie drawn by Miles, and he still maintained enough calmness and caution.
The difficulty of human genetic modification technology to achieve what Miles said is still relatively high.
Although the biotechnology company's achievements in this area are indeed unique, if it really wants to achieve the level of technical maturity, it will probably have some hidden dangers if it does not spend some time on long-term observation and research.
After all, humans are not controllable mechanical prostheses like cybernetic devices. Once genes are modified, they are prone to sudden mutations, causing the modification direction to deviate from the original plan.
If a biochemical crisis is accidentally created, it will be a lot of fun!
Moreover, the difference between animal gene fusion and human gene fusion is too great. Without enough experiments, it is almost impossible to do it.
However, if biotechnology can really achieve perfect human gene fusion, then this company will be amazing. At least the sales market of prosthetic devices of many companies will definitely be greatly affected.
Facing Leon's questions, Miles also answered them directly and truthfully: "As far as I know, the gene fusion project of biotechnology has probably reached the middle and late stages."
"The rest is nothing more than ensuring the stability of gene fusion. In fact, some of our agents from the United Intelligence Agency have already tried their most basic gene fusion products."
"And their feedback is that their energy has become more abundant than before, and the activity of their brain nerves has also increased, but the only drawback is that their hair has turned a lot whiter."
"It's like entering the aging state in advance. We have stopped using this type of gene drug at present."
Hearing this, Leon did not show any surprise or horror, but nodded thoughtfully.
If you want to become stronger, you have to pay some other price. This kind of primary gene product mostly consumes human life in advance in exchange for a higher quality physical state.
Genetic modification like this, which kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of its own, has no market in the market.
"So, Arasaka and ESA and other companies are also planning to invest part of the funds for the development of prosthetic devices into gene fusion technology, which may become a competitor of prosthetic devices."
"It seems that they are not stupid. They can't lose money by betting on both sides."
Li Ang smiled and said, there is no life-and-death market competition. The gamblers sitting at this card table are all respectable people who are familiar with each other.
Everyone can receive some news about the development of good things by the other party. Only the emerging outsiders like LA company can come up with unheard-of technological products from time to time and seize a large amount of market resources.
Before the other company executives could react, Li Ang pulled out a new thing, and the company's agents were simply too busy to handle it.
Faced with such a company that keeps everything secret, it's no wonder that Li Ang only knew about this now. If it weren't for his status as a major shareholder of military technology, he might have known about it even later.
"Mr. Li Ang, maybe it's time for you to share the latest results of the company's research institute. On the surface, the companies are fighting for business, but in fact, they will still cooperate when they should."
"This dense and huge network of interest transfer relationships is not something that any powerful company can do alone."
"Even if you do have cooperative relationships with many companies, this alone is not enough to join them."
President Miles's intentions couldn't be more obvious. The rising LA company is expanding its business territory too fast, so fast that many companies are extremely wary.
At the same gambling table, a gambling god who is invincible and unbeatable suddenly appears. Everyone's first reaction will never be to flatter and lick this guy.
Instead, they will try every means to kill him!
Even companies like Arasaka and Military Technology, which once fought to the death, often have business dealings in private.
"You are a smart man, I believe you understand what I mean." Miles said with a smile, she was reminding Leon not to become the target of public criticism.
