Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 272 Seeking Infinity with Infinity
Afternoon, East Cliff Grottoes.

The first sample of the first-generation vaccine has been prepared.

The next step is to prove the vaccine's effectiveness through biological experiments, but he doesn't have any experimental animals on hand.

The night watchman casually rolled up his sleeves and injected the vaccine into his body.

He is still an ordinary, flesh-and-blood human being, and he will still get sick if he is going to, so this is a good opportunity to observe his symptoms.

Because of his consistently perfect health, his immunity is considered very strong among ordinary people. The advantage is that even if the self-developed vaccine has strong toxicity, it will not cause any harm. However, the disadvantage is that his immunity is too strong to be used as a standard reference, and the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled may not be able to withstand it.

After a one- or two-day observation period following vaccination, Lin Bo immediately began preparing the virus culture medium in preparation for subsequent large-scale production.

Viruses cannot reproduce independently and must parasitize host cells. The culture medium that Linbo chose for his vaccine is the versatile mushroom.

He arrived at the mushroom garden, where the thick, white fungal carpet swayed its tentacles. These mushrooms were becoming increasingly intelligent, able to sense the slightest vibrations in the ground, detect footsteps, and identify themselves by the frequency of their footsteps. They knew Lin Bo as soon as he approached.

"The feeder has arrived, let's touch the feeder." The pure white mycelium felt like soft hair tickling Lin Bo's palm.

The monk smiled and collected a small clump of mycelium, placing it in a separate incubator. He made many requests of this small patch of mycelium, and soon, all sorts of mimicking mushrooms sprouted from the mycelium, filling the area with human cell tissue.

Lin Bo carefully selected a mushroom with a ball-shaped cap and plenty of moisture. It looked like a bright red duck egg yolk, and its internal environment was like a warm bed, filled with serum and nutrients suitable for cell growth, which could support the rapid reproduction of viruses.

The production of vaccines has been largely resolved; the real challenge lies in how to distribute them throughout the archipelago and ensure that the public can receive the vaccines.

The political system in the Sail Islands was inefficient, with power not being fully centralized. The governors of each island had considerable power of self-determination, and grassroots administration relied heavily on the church and local gentry.

The emperor's decrees could not reach the lower levels. The only place that Koven Evan could fully govern was Hongdu, and intervention in the local areas relied on the noble council and the army.

The Church of Miracles inherited the original Five Gods Church's base in the Kening Empire. Over the past winter, priests from various parishes arrived in Stone Tower Town to complete their pilgrimage. They conformed to the new doctrines, became members of the Tower Keeper Order, and showed basic loyalty to the divine oracle, willing to obey orders.

The governors of the islands, or at least their representatives, all attended last year's Pentecost and witnessed the miracles firsthand, and were filled with awe and submission. They dared not secretly sabotage the demands of the Church of Miracles, even if they were unwilling to provide assistance.

Political problems are relatively easy to solve, but economic problems remain very difficult.

The cities of the Sail Islands are generally prosperous and advanced, but the surrounding villages and towns are all dilapidated and backward. The economic advantage of the Kening Empire is concentrated in ten important cities, and medical resources are highly concentrated in the urban areas, lacking a medical system that benefits the entire population.

Even if vaccines could be delivered to various locations, there wouldn't be enough syringes and needles to vaccinate the public.

Lin Bo can easily produce millions of qualified syringes per hour, but he knows that some things should not be done entirely by others.

The spread of the epidemic is precisely the time for radical transformation and reconstruction.

Viren Pearl has obeyed orders to establish hospitals and clinics invested in by the Blessed Medicine Company across the islands, recruiting doctors and caregivers. The Mysterious Machinery Workshop has built factories in major industrial cities to produce medical supplies such as syringes and needles.

These things will take time to accomplish; it's a race against time to stop the spread of the disease.

It also requires a lot of funds. Even if you emptied the Weixiangmei Company, you still wouldn't be able to raise enough. You would need to find someone to cut your losses. The national treasury tax revenue can fill part of the gap, and the remaining gap can be filled by donations from nobles and merchants. Raw materials for production must be purchased at the lowest possible price. All these methods can reduce costs.

But what's most needed is public support; getting people to cooperate with epidemic prevention efforts and get vaccinated is crucial to minimizing future casualties. The Crucible Expedition can solve this problem. They travel the earth, spreading miracles, and people submit to them. Even if some groups whose interests are harmed try to cause trouble and sabotage in secret, they cannot withstand the fervor of faith sweeping every corner of the archipelago.

Lin Bo estimated that the expedition would take at least two to three months to traverse the ten major cities of the Kening Empire, changing modes of transportation along the way. During this time, the Elixir Cauldron would gradually gather its embers.

Once the most important part of the journey is completed, the reverberation level will reach its short-term peak. At that time, the crucible will be replaced, the core solid elixir will be preserved, and the healing potion will continue to be produced. The remaining pot can be sacrificed to the network.

During this period, Lin Bo's task was to research the ascension route.

He placed his own cells into a gene weaver and sequenced them to obtain the genetic code of this flesh-and-blood body.

With the help of the nascent spirit within the computer, Lin Bo was able to read and analyze his own genetic information at an incredible speed. He started reading in the evening and by midnight, he had basically confirmed the function of each piece of code.

Compared to ordinary people, his genes are somewhat different, and some benign mutations resulting from skill practice have also been recorded.

In addition, there are a lot of redundant designs in the genetic blueprint. As a biological machine, the human body has been constantly adjusting its genetic information in the long process of evolution. From primitive single cells and marine life to land, from apes to human race, all ancestors in this developmental lineage have left traces in the genes, leaving a lot of historical obsolete information, which are all serious drags.

However, because the code was too complex, arbitrary deletions could have far-reaching consequences, potentially causing the entire system to collapse, so Lin Bo dared not modify it rashly.

He searched for gene-based design schemes on online trading platforms. Each efficient and concise genome is a condensation of massive amounts of wisdom, and the related materials are not cheap at all.

Lin Bo didn't rush to buy reference materials; he needed to first complete the translation rules for converting genetic information into magical incantations.

Using magic to manipulate amino acids and form complex protein structures is no longer a matter of carving a grain of rice; it requires working at the microscopic level, which is far more sophisticated than engraving words on a needle tip.

Human senses are very limited, making it difficult to perceive such minute details. However, the sense of taste can precisely detect amino acids, which are the gears and building blocks of life. Lin Bo plans to start from this point and gradually build a biological machine.

He spent two days and one night repeatedly tasting all the amino acids in the human body, and by demanding an explanation, he learned the true names of these tiny substances in Gudorei.

Next, Lin Bo began to disassemble, distort, and reconstruct these true name runes, attempting to directly piece together the true name of the protein.

From his first alchemy attempt, Lin Bo had been accumulating experience, trying to deduce the true names of all things by directly modifying the shapes of runes.

With the help of computer science, this idea truly had a basis for realization.

Within the mage's spiritual realm, the true name runes of amino acids began to rapidly disintegrate, twist, and recombine. The forms of runes are countless, just as the true names of all things in the world are infinite; to seek the infinite with the infinite is beyond human capability.

Lin Bo's statement was not unfounded; he had already established a basic database and summarized some of the evolutionary patterns of the True Name Runes during the alchemy process.

Because a real name possesses the unique characteristics of form, meaning, and pronunciation, as long as Lin Bo constructs the correct symbolic form, he can immediately tell whether it is right or wrong.

Following this deduction, ten days later, in the evening, the monk learned the true names of all the proteins in the human body.

From gears to tools, we are not far from building complete biological machines.
