Chapter 239 The Magic Net



The move by Kechuang Bio was completely unexpected. They originally thought that even if Kechuang Bio realized something was wrong, it wouldn't react.

Because the truth system is a very small niche for Kechuang Biotechnology, it can hardly bring them much revenue.

If a core Chinese institution and enterprise were to engage in a monopolistic collaboration, it would at least result in a limit-up price increase for any other listed company.

However, when applied to Kechuang Biotechnology, two red dots were added as a sign of respect.

It didn't even cause a ripple.

After the specific implementation plan for the truth system was released, the stock forum for Kechuang Bio was even more abuzz with excitement:

That's it?

"The estimated annual revenue is less than 500 million. For Kechuang Bio, this business is purely a political task."

"Furthermore, if scientifically created creatures were dominant, developing a large-scale reasoning game based on a truth system would definitely be very promising."

The most upvoted comment under this post is: "Developing a reasoning game based on a truth system and expecting to get a game license? Dream on."

Zheng Li usually doesn't get involved in such trivial matters; at most, he'll just mention it in the company's weekly report.

As the company expands and its scale grows, many things are only brought to Zheng Li's attention after they have been resolved.

The Chinese side also learned of Zheng Li's further optimization of brain-computer interface technology.

Academician Zhao also had a discussion with Zheng Li about this:

"After the 'magic brain' gradually takes effect, do you feel that your thinking has become more agile?"

"Questions that I couldn't understand before, I might now figure out just by taking a quick look around?"

Zheng Li replied, "It's amazing. I'm mainly curious about how Merlin did it."

"Through observation of my own body, I discovered that new proteins have appeared in the cells responsible for nerve transmission."

For a top scientist, the thirst for knowledge is one of the driving forces behind scientific research. If Zheng Li is not curious about his own changes, that is extremely suspicious.

Therefore, after injecting the Demon Brain, Zheng Li conducted human experiments on his clone within Kechuang Biotechnology.

Academician Zhao laughed and said, "Haha, this is definitely the effect of injecting the magic brain."

“We name similar proteins ‘Magic Series Proteins’ based on their morphology and ‘Specific Model Names’ based on their structure.”

"But I can tell you one thing: giving you the ability to cast spells is definitely not just due to these two extra proteins."

"Moreover, when we transplant these two proteins into the experimental subjects, they cannot exist normally and are quickly broken down."

"In normal people's bodies, the magic series proteins seem to be incompatible with neuroglobin."

Neuroglobin is a heme protein that is primarily expressed in the brain and retinal cells of vertebrates.

It can reversibly combine with oxygen.

The difference between neuroglobin and regular hemoglobin is that neuroglobin has only one polypeptide chain, and the iron in the heme cofactor is six-coordinated when it is not bound to oxygen, while the other ligand is the distal hise7 residue.

This protein was discovered two thousand years ago through the Human Genome Project, by mining genome sequence data.

Because of its preferential expression in the nervous system, it is named after the nervous system.

This cell has a certain protective effect on neurons and can detoxify reactive oxygen species or nitric oxide.

Meanwhile, neuroglobin can effectively enhance cell vitality under hypoxia and various oxidative stresses.

This substance is a component that transmits signals of cellular redox status or inhibits apoptosis.

Simply put, this thing can effectively protect the neurons in the human brain.

Therefore, the irreconcilable conflict between neuroglobin and magic series proteins has surprised scientists.

Because it is obvious that the magic protein is a product of the injected magic brain and only appears in the body of mages.

Furthermore, after using the magic brain, mages will experience a significant enhancement in their logical thinking ability and sensory perception.

During internal testing, the mage demonstrated a clear three-dimensional spatial perception ability, effectively perceiving the distribution of objects throughout the space even in complete blindness.

Various direct and indirect tests have shown that the functional boundaries of a mage's brain are greatly expanded compared to that of an ordinary person.

Zheng Li's apparent identity is that of a top scientist in the field of biology, so his reaction is natural:

"So, neuroglobin conflicts with the magic series guarantee?"

Academician Zhao sighed and said, "That's not entirely true. Our understanding of the human body at the microscopic level is very limited."

"We cannot draw that conclusion at the moment. We can only say that there is no doubt that magic proteins and neuroglobins conflict in the bodies of ordinary people."

"However, in a mage's body, these two can work together organically, and a mage's cell apoptosis rate is slower than that of an ordinary person."

"Neuroglobin and magic protein do not have any incompatibility."

From an observational perspective, this is indeed the case, but the conflict between neuroglobin and magic protein still leaves scientists with doubts.

Could magic simply be a short-term method of expanding brain function by overdrawing brainpower?

However, observations show that, on the contrary, users of the Demon Brain have all experienced a certain degree of lifespan extension.

Take Jiang Yan as an example. He was already close to death, but thanks to the influence of the Demon Brain, he lived for another five years and is still full of energy.

Therefore, even now, there are many achievements in observing users of the "Magic Brain," but very little is known about the specific principles behind it.

"Neuroglobin is a monomer composed of about 150 amino acids with a molecular weight of 16 kDa, and it exhibits typical globin folding effects."
