Alisa mocked this person’s ignorance once again.
“What do you think? Humans are constantly evolving; it’s impossible to stop progressing after achieving a certain result. The world, too, won’t slow down just because you want to halt. Every species is evolving, and the human body and cells are no different.”
Marvin felt greatly shaken today. Although these two sisters weren’t blood-related, they were indeed extraordinary.
First, Maggie, not only the daughter of the Moon Goddess, inheriting all the powers of the moon goddess, but now a force unique to her was also emerging in her body.
Now, Alisa casually told him that they might be able to develop drugs that could alter genes.
“Can I do it too?” he pointed at himself.
Alisa knew what he was talking about but mischievously wanted to tease him.
“Can what?”
Marvin, unusually smarter today, perhaps understanding Alisa’s tricks, “You’re telling me about this project to ask if I want to participate, right?”
“You’ve suddenly become smarter lately. I didn’t expect werewolf intelligence to continue evolving after adulthood.”
Marvin showed his fangs, “If I were a vampire, I would definitely bite you right now.”
Alisa raised an eyebrow, “What? Want to turn me into your blood servant?”
Marvin looked disgusted, “Have you watched too many third-rate novels and TV shows? Humans can’t turn into vampires by being bitten; humans bitten by vampires often die due to infection. And what’s good about vampires? They’re so ugly, as white as reflective lime, like dead bats.”
It was evident that there was deep-seated hatred between these two races.
“Are there really no vampires that look like Robert Pattinson?” She was persistent, perhaps she could find a handsome one among the many unattractive vampires.
“Who is Robert Pattinson?”
Alisa thought she was boring, explaining her cultural reference to a wolf with little human common sense.
“Do you want me to tell you about our genetic research project?” she asked Marvin.
“Yes.”
In simple terms, the essence of the genetic project at the beginning was to help babies born with congenital diseases. It aimed to eliminate the birth of genes causing diseases through the rearrangement and combination of genes, allowing healthy embryos to be conceived. Later, with the advancement of technology, people gradually no longer satisfied themselves with the genetic project solely for reducing diseases.
They began to fantasize about using genetic engineering to achieve various goals that could only be achieved by random chance and the inheritance of ancestral genes. For example, everyone growing to six feet, fair-skinned and beautiful, the golden ratio of the body, an IQ of 160, making the entire world full of scientists and elite individuals. However, this was clearly impossible.
So, people made a slight detour. Now, they started planning for other things, controlling certain elements in the genes, such as undesirable personality traits like cruelty and indifference. But if you wanted to build an army, an invincible army, that could also be considered, like expanding the proportion of cruelty and indifference in human genes.
“I think if this part can be achieved, then suppressing lycanthropy is not difficult.”
Marvin listened particularly attentively, his eyes sparkling like two stars.
“Just like your Grace, she possesses both werewolf and vampire genes. These two genes are conflicting and can fight inside her body, but they can indeed be fused. They repel each other, but can be re-fused by changing their embedding structure, making the originally protruding parts concave to make them fit together. It’s possible to achieve gene fusion. Suppressing it is similar; just make the factors responsible for werewolf transformation lose their activity and make them dormant.”
Marvin felt that Alisa at this moment was shining like the Moon Goddess.
“Can it really be so smooth?”
Alisa shrugged, “Isn’t the project still in negotiation? It’s still being discussed, but I think most likely this research project will fall into the hands of our company, and in the end, I’ll take over.”
The biological company she worked for had its own pharmaceutical factories and laboratories worldwide, making it one of the world’s leading companies. Research projects requiring cutting-edge technology were generally impossible to hand over to others.
Marvin’s eyes were about to sparkle, “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful!”
“…,” he was unusually straightforward, and Alisa felt a bit embarrassed, “It’s not to that extent. There’s still some distance compared to your brother.”
Although their career paths were different.
“But speaking of Aldrich, do you want to ask him if Barrett Group is willing to invest in this project? This way, your participation in the research will be more natural.”
Marvin immediately stood up, “I’ll contact Charlie.”
“Genetic engineering?” Charlie looked at Aldrich with confusion, “What is it related to? We haven’t received any project reports that seem to be of investment value recently.”
“She said this project is still under negotiation, and it’s internal information. She thinks I can participate in the research, and maybe we can find a way to suppress the gene in werewolves’ bodies that causes uncontrollable transformations. I think this might be an opportunity to compensate for the genes that prevent werewolves from evolving.”
Aldrich pondered, and Marvin’s proposal was indeed tempting.
In the field of biotechnology, werewolves were far behind humans. Werewolves excelled in physical research, leading to their overall thinking not keeping pace with technological progress. Most werewolves still followed ancient systems and primitive lifestyles, despite technological advancements.
If this genetic engineering project could truly achieve the suppression of lycanthropy, as Alisa said, it would undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for werewolves and human societies in the northern continent to advance together. Perhaps the northern continent would soon thrive like the southern continent.
Not only the north, but perhaps in the future, werewolves and humans on this planet could achieve peaceful coexistence through this genetic engineering.
“How did Alisa say it? Does Barrett Group need to participate in the project’s investment?”
“Yes, she said if Barrett Group participates in this project, I can naturally participate in the experiments. The future results can be seen from my involvement.”
“Tell Alisa that as long as she can achieve what she promised, Barrett Group not only is willing to invest in this project, but we can also provide every member participating in the experiment with rewards beyond their imagination.”
Soon, Jolie, who stayed in the human world to manage various affairs of Barrett Group, rushed over to discuss matters related to project investment with Alisa.
