Chapter 582 Jiang Feng's Doubt
In recent years, international human genome sorting research has made great progress. Genetic engineering technology and biotechnology can become technologies for manufacturing new bacteria and new virus genes that invade plants, animals and humans. Gene production and application will develop into a brand new gene industry.
Every leap of new drugs and vaccines has opened up the way for the creation of deadly bacteria, and the use of genetic weapons is the ultimate goal. Gene therapy can be used to select viruses to destroy the human body's immunity and destroy the human body's healing process. Gene weapon manufacturers use genetic technology to synthesize genes, synthesize microorganisms, and synthesize diseases. Synthetic influenza attacks may cause symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from natural influenza. Humans are not the only targets for terrorists to carry out bacterial attacks. Crops and poultry can also be targets, and the recovery period of crops and poultry is much longer than that of humans.
Human genomics is based on the genome to explore the relationship between the genome and human body functions and diseases. It aims to discover new disease-related genes, and then complete the related gene diagnosis and gene therapy of the disease, thereby creating new diagnostic methods, treatment methods, and drugs and tools with application value. Three years later, the human gene sequencing task and gene map will be completed. Since the genes of people of different races are different, this provides technical possibilities for the makers of gene weapons, and the gene technology arsenal is the most difficult to detect.
At present, scientists have completed the genetic map of six dangerous bacteria, including tuberculosis, cholera, anthrax and plague. Terrorists can find their DNA sorting charts through any website.
For example, if the "Spanish Influenza" virus that was once popular in 1918 is completed, then terrorists can use the genetic order of this virus to artificially synthesize and update the lethal influenza virus. Once this virus spreads, it may cause serious smallpox consequences than anthrax bacteria and. It should be noted that in 1918, the Spanish influenza virus that broke out in Europe affected many parts of the world, and 40 million people died because of it.
Jiang Feng said: "Since the 1990s, countries such as the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany and Israel have been studying the feasibility of genetic weapons. Scientists from the British government's Center for Chemistry and Biological Prevention used genetic technology to study genetically modified superviruses. Israeli scientists used research results of South African chromosomal weapons to discover the genetic composition of Arabs, especially Iraqis, and are stepping up the development of a genetic weapon specifically for dealing with Arabs. Genetic engineering is used to develop traditional toxin strains such as anthrax, smallpox, rabbit fever, plague and botulinum to replicate toxic biological genes in benign organisms. Through drug induction and other control means, the combat capabilities of their own soldiers can be enhanced."
"As for Russia, it has long been studying the splicing of highly toxic cobra toxin genes and influenza virus genes, trying to cultivate a new influenza virus with cobra toxin, which can cause influenza symptoms to cause influenza. Some people have symptoms of snake venom, causing paralysis and death of patients. Germany is also secretly developing genetic weapons that can deal with antibiotics, including genetic modification of protopathy bodies of deadly viruses such as Escherichia coli, cholera and the Black Death. In short, this seemingly peaceful world is actually full of too many unstable factors."
In fact, with the increasing maturity of gene transfer technology and easy to obtain anywhere in the world, humans may face a new round of global genetic weapon competition.
The Biodefense Technical Committee of the US National Defense Science Committee believes that human genomics has made genetic weapons a new weapon of war that can destroy urban populations. American politicians have also warned that after humans master the genetic sorting map that can redesign themselves, they have reached the last brink of their own destiny.
Three years ago in 2003, the drawing of human gene sorting maps was successful. At the same time, it opened a convenient door for the development of genetic weapons. Humans' own survival will face a huge threat. How to face the threat and challenges of genetic weapons has become a new topic in the fields of defense and military medical research in all major issues in the world.
However, Jiang Feng remembered a very important question at this time. It seems that there was a famous "**" incident in China three years ago, and all the people attacked by the virus were Asian. Could it be that this incident is really a genetic weapon?
There are white, yellow and black races all over the world. Due to differences in genetic genes, different races have different diseases and infections with disease. The human genome tested is the white genome, and the genomes of the white genome and the yellow genome are definitely different. Now it looks at least 6% of the difference, and it may be even higher. Genetic weapons are made based on the genetic genes of a certain race, and they are targeted during use.
The ** virus has this characteristic. The ** virus is difficult for white people to be infected, and even if it is infected, it will recover faster. There are few ** cases in Japan, because the geographical relationship between the Japanese is very different from that of Chinese people of the same latitude. Genetic viruses can easily "identify" Japanese and Chinese. There are no deaths in the United States. Canada has 139 infections and 15 deaths as of April 25, and 13 of them are Chinese.
According to the data released by the World Health Organization, as of July 11, 2003, the cumulative number of confirmed patients in the world was 8,437, while the cumulative number of confirmed patients in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. In addition, Singapore, where Chinese people are relatively concentrated, there are a total of 7,960 cases. In addition, the total number of confirmed cases in Chinese in Canada accounts for more than 96% of the world's total. In other regions in the world, including the United States, there are less than 400 cases. The cumulative number of deaths in the world is 813, and in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore is 762. If the deaths in Chinese in Canada are added, it also accounts for more than 96% of the global mortality rate.
This makes people have enough reason to suspect that ** is a genetic weapon developed by a certain country specifically targeting Chinese people.
After thinking of this question, he felt a little vigilant, and he would not talk about his intention to harm others, but he could not relax his desire to let go of others for a moment.
Jiang Feng has always been uneasy about Americans or Japanese. Jiang Feng is very suspicious that the Americans have long conducted targeted genetic tests on the Chinese and produced genetic weapons. This is not something he remembers casually, but is found to be evidenced.
Because the genetic genes of different human populations are different, the manufacturer of genetic weapons can produce genetic weapons that only kill specific groups of people based on genetic defects. To develop such genetic weapons, the key is to obtain the genetic code of the specified population.
Since the 1990s, relevant departments of Germany, the United States, Denmark, Japan and other countries, as well as universities, research institutions and enterprises, with their own different purposes, took advantage of China's lack of recognition of the importance of genetic resources at that time and carried out a huge plunder of the Chinese's genetic resources that shocked the world. They used these DNAs of the Chinese, and under the advanced military science and technology conditions they possessed, they were completely enough to develop genetic weapons against the Chinese people - various genetic weapons that made Chinese people over 60 suffer from Alzheimer's disease, Chinese women suffer from sterilization, and Chinese people sleep on the battlefield for three days and three nights.
Since the early 1990s, many human experimental projects jointly conducted by the United States and China have been launched in mainland China. The common method is that American research institutions pay money to return to China to conduct projects, conduct human experiments among Chinese people, and then send the serum or DNA samples obtained from the experiment back to the United States for research.
As we all know, blood is the way for the human body to supply oxygen and detoxify. Through blood, we can understand the body's resistance to various diseases, as well as humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Through blood drawing and genetic tests, we can create corresponding genetic weapons based on the characteristics of the Chinese. As long as we find a breakthrough in the genetic code, we can use it to effectively prevent and treat diseases, and of course, this technology can also be used to harm people.
In the early 1990s, the United States also obtained blood samples from Chinese elderly people over 100 in Beijing, northern Hebei Province and other places, and brought them back to the United States for research. In 1995, an American institution collected a total of 300 elderly people's blood samples in three cities, including Beijing, Tianfu and Yuhang, China, and then sent them to the United States. An American institution was very surprised. Subsequently, funded by the US federal government and funded through the American Institute of Health. It was implemented specifically by Duke University in the United States. It planned to collect blood samples from 10,000 elderly people in 22 provinces and cities in China from 1998 to 2003 to conduct genetic research on Chinese elderly people. To this end, the United States provided millions of dollars in funding.
It was also in the 1990s, in the southern part of Lingnan, Dongguan and other places in China, there were some Japanese-run enterprises. Japanese bosses asked Chinese migrant workers to conduct regular physical examinations and blood tests. However, migrant workers did not go to local hospitals to draw blood and have physical examinations, but instead drew blood in factories. They had to draw blood several times a year, and in the end they did not tell you what the problem was. What did the Japanese factory do about Chinese migrant workers who drew blood in their own factories a year? There is no answer to this question until today.
In the 20th century, a large number of ancient Chinese bones were unearthed in various parts of China. Before 1998, as China's genetic research on ancient bones had not yet begun, some American institutions adopted funding and cooperation methods to transport some ancient bones unearthed in China to some laboratories in the United States for DNA extraction, amplification, sequencing, and comparative research to study the consistency and differences between ancient Chinese human genes and modern human genes. This has an immeasurable effect on understanding the genetic genes of Chinese races from a historical perspective.
