Chapter 131: Become the target of public criticism!
Today's biotechnology companies have achieved a fairly good level of gene fusion in many animals.
Koalas with fangs, invisible mamba snakes, cheetahs with extraordinary endurance, etc., are all the research results of biotechnology companies.
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 their genetic instinct to fear natural enemies under the regulation of the neural control center.
For example, controlling a rabbit to attack a tiger.
Now, biotechnology companies are planning to use genetic modification technology on humans to help soldiers significantly improve their combat effectiveness limits.
When genetic technology is mature enough, biotechnology companies can even popularize it so that all human beings can enjoy the benefits of genetic modification technology.
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 make a lot of money!"
"The genetic fusion method of transformation will basically prevent the human body from developing sequelae of cyberpsychiatry similar to that caused by too many implants."
What Miles said actually makes sense.
Over the years, various companies have invested a lot of money in the research and development of prosthetic devices, but the accompanying unexpected cyberpsychosis has also made many civilians afraid of prosthetics.
Apart from the mercenaries who make a living by killing and smuggling, the brave and fierce street guys, and the security members who work hard for the company, basically few ordinary people will install cyberprosthetics on themselves.
As for the mercenaries, if they were not forced by life, who would be willing to risk becoming a mental patient and put these heavy lumps of iron on themselves?
If there really is a way to gain power that is no less than having prosthetics through genetic modification and fusion, there will definitely be countless desperadoes scrambling to try it.
Ordinary people who also desire power will try to accept this new technological change, and if they do, money will come along!
"Mr. President, I would like to know what stage of research and development the biotechnology company's genetic modification project is at now. Has it just started research, or has it already produced the first batch of finished products?"
Leon was not so excited by the huge benefits that Miles offered him that he lost his mind. He remained calm and cautious.
If the technology of human genetic modification is to achieve what Miles said, it is still quite difficult.
Although biotechnology companies are indeed leading the way in this area, if they really want to achieve the level of technological maturity, they will most likely encounter hidden dangers if they do not spend some time on long-term observation and research.
After all, humans are not controllable mechanical prostheses like cybernetic devices. Once genes are changed, they are prone to sudden mutations, causing the modification direction to deviate from the original plan.
If some kind of biochemical crisis happens by accident, it will be so much fun!
What's more, the difference between animal gene fusion and human gene fusion is too great, and it is almost impossible to do without a sufficient number of experiments.
However, if Biotech can really achieve perfect human gene fusion, then this company will be incredible. At least the sales market of prosthetic devices of many companies will definitely be greatly affected. In the face of Leon's question, Miles also answered all the questions and told him directly and truthfully: "As far as I know, Biotech's gene fusion project is probably in the middle and late stages."
"The rest is nothing more than ensuring the stability of the gene fusion. In fact, some of our CIA agents are already trying out their most basic gene fusion products."
"And their feedback is that they have more energy than before, and their brain nerves are more active, but the only drawback is that their hair has turned a lot whiter."
"It's like entering a state of premature aging. We have stopped using this type of genetic medicine."
Hearing this, Li Ang did not show any surprise or horror, but nodded thoughtfully.
If you want to become stronger, you have to pay some price. This kind of primary genetic product mostly consumes human life in advance in exchange for a higher quality physical condition.
This kind of genetic modification that kills one thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of your own people has no market value.
"So, companies like Arasaka and ESA are also planning to invest part of the funds for the development of prosthetic devices into gene fusion technology, which may become a competitor to prosthetic devices."
"It seems that they are not stupid. They won't lose money by betting on both sides."
Li Ang smiled and said, there is no such thing as life-and-death market competition. The gamblers sitting at this card table are all respectable people who are familiar with each other.
If the other party is going to develop something good, everyone will receive some news. Only emerging outsiders like LA companies can come up with unprecedented technological products from time to time and seize a large amount of market resources.
Before the executives of other companies could react, Leon came up with something new, and the agents of these companies were simply too busy to handle it.
Faced with a company that keeps everything secret, it is no wonder that Li Ang only found out about this now. If it weren't for his status as a major shareholder of Military Technology, he might have known about this even later.
"Mr. Li Ang, maybe it's time for you to share the latest findings from your company's research institute. On the surface, the companies are fighting each other for business, but in reality, they will still cooperate when necessary."
"This dense and huge network of interests cannot be arbitrarily handled by any powerful company on its own."
“Even if you do have cooperative relationships with quite a few companies, that alone is not enough to get you to join them.”
President Miles' intentions couldn't be more obvious. The rising LA company's business expansion was so fast that many companies were extremely wary.
At the same gambling table, if an invincible and undefeated gambling god suddenly appears, everyone’s first reaction will never be to please and lick this guy.
Instead, try every possible means to kill him!
Even companies like Arasaka and Militech, which once fought to the death, often had business dealings with each other 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.
