Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Smart potion, genius potion..."

Looking at the screenshots of the internet on Li Tao's phone, Huang Qingyao exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the kind of drug I'm thinking of, the one that boosts IQ and turns ordinary people into geniuses?"

talking.

Huang Qingyao seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously glanced in Lin Dong's direction...

"Stop looking."

Xia Ran walked over to Huang Qingyao, glanced at the contents of Li Tao's phone, and shook her head, saying, "American biopharmaceuticals, before they've been widely used in the market and have been validated over 1 to 3 years, shouldn't be tried or trusted lightly..."

Following the hint from the Director.

Although the domestic public opinion on this matter has been suppressed to prevent it from escalating due to the lack of development of core equipment and the failure to upgrade the industry.

However, over the years, a lot of information has still been leaked.

In China's biopharmaceutical industry, even the most unscrupulous companies resort to counterfeiting, selling saline solution or pure starch as medicine. At worst, it won't have any effect, but it won't kill anyone in the short term.

If American biopharmaceutical companies are unscrupulous, whether they are effective is another matter; the real concern is that the effects might be too strong, leading them to directly test the drugs on people.

After all, knowing the situation, they sell poison as medicine, and to make the sales even more successful, the biopharmaceutical group even lobbied to change the law... You can't find many markets like this in the world.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Huang Qingyao immediately realized what was going on and nodded, saying, "It's 8:40. After we watch the fireworks, we can go home and watch their press conference on the computer."

Because of the time difference, 8:40 PM in China is morning in the US, which is the time when people go to work...

"The fireworks are just a few minutes away!" Su Yue exclaimed excitedly.

Only Li Tao forgot about his cousin falling while frying cow dung. He was talking to Lin Dong, Zhang Yihao, and Zhang Zihua, saying that the Americans were real bastards, doing the same thing themselves and then trying to blame others.

"The fireworks have started!"

Suddenly, someone outside shouted, interrupting Li Tao and the others' conversation.

Thud! Thud thud—

As soon as he finished speaking, 16 sparks rose from the open ground several hundred meters away, trailing flames as they shot up to a height of three hundred meters.

Boom!!!

The whole world was instantly illuminated as sixteen fireworks of different colors filled the New Year's Eve sky.

Then, a large number of fireworks and various other fireworks began to rise one after another, turning the entire visual area into a feast of fireworks.

Wow! The live performance was truly breathtaking...

:

Su Yue's voice mingled with the sounds of fireworks exploding as she pulled Li Tao aside, shouting with a joyful expression.

"16 fireworks, 2016..." Xu Qingling looked at the fireworks in the sky, holding Lin Dong's hand, her eyes shining brightly.

Huang Qingyao watched for a while, then suddenly realized something was wrong and walked to the side to stand next to Xia Ran.

Looking at the three couples standing together in front of her, and Zhang Zihua who was live-streaming the fireworks on his phone, she reached out and touched Xia Ran's arm.

"Haven't you noticed? We're single again!"

Suddenly, Huang Qingyao felt that the fireworks were no longer interesting, and cried out in despair, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come out with you guys tonight, and I would have watched them with my parents instead."

"It's great." Xia Ran smiled as she looked at the fireworks in the sky.

"That's good?" Huang Qingyao's eyes widened.

"yes."

Xia Ran withdrew her gaze, looked at Huang Qingyao and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, you're so unhappy about eating dog food every day because you want to pick the flowers to take home, but I'm not picking them."

"You're amazing, you're noble, you have lofty thoughts!"

Huang Qingyao gritted her teeth and said, then suddenly lowered her voice, "Have you noticed that Lin Dong doesn't really like fireworks? He always watches them with Qingling."

"Doesn't this further prove that I have good judgment?" Xia Ran replied flawlessly.

"..."

Huang Qingyao was instantly stunned. She stared at the fireworks blooming in the sky for a moment and then said in silence, "Ranran, what are you thinking... I'm starting to suspect that besides biophysics and physical physics, you also minored in philosophy."

"What I'm thinking is beyond your current understanding, given your IQ is below 135."

Xia Ran tugged at Huang Qingyao and whispered, "Stop thinking about it. If you keep thinking about it, you won't be able to get married in the future, and your aunt and uncle will scold me for leading you astray."

"Don't curse me during the Lunar New Year!"

Huang Qingyao rolled her eyes, but quickly shook her head and said, "Forget it, do whatever you want... This is too weird. The Americans actually managed to develop the genius potion. I'd better just watch the show, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

"That's right, that's the real you."

Xia Ran pinched Huang Qingyao's smooth cheek and said with a smile, "Just watch the show, don't think so much or worry so much."

"Get lost! I'm not Xu Qingling, and you're not Lin Dong. Where did you learn this bad habit of pinching cheeks?" Huang Qingyao slapped Xia Ran's hand away.

"Wasn't this the first one you made for Yueyue?"

"Really? When did I make a fifteenth-month-old?"

Huang Qingyao didn't admit anything. As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Dong and Xu Qingling in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and whispered a reminder: "I heard from Comrade Lao Huang that Uncle Xia and Aunt He were promoted and rewarded together at the year-end meeting... Sister, are you ready? You may be facing the gaze of your elders."

:

"understood."

Xia Ran smiled and said without surprise, "Thank you for reminding me, Yao Yao."

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our groundbreaking creation, a biomedical product that opens the gates of God and witnesses the dawn of truth—avm!

This is a great drug that works on the brain's nerves, greatly increasing neuronal activity, enhancing the efficiency of neuronal information transmission, and breaking through the limits of intelligence!

However, due to the huge research and development costs and the high cost of the drugs, it cannot be widely covered at present.

To this end, we will launch a talent program to cultivate top teams across all industries, dedicated to providing technology solutions for companies and organizations worldwide…

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Dong went to Laboratory 78 and found the video of last night's press conference. He watched as representatives from Emerging Biotech and Pfizer announced the creation and function of the drug, followed by a demonstration of some clinical trial videos.

Through video comparison, the participants' IQ showed terrifying leaps of varying degrees before and after the injection of AVM.

This novel was first published on [website name].

This leap is no less significant than the leap from a wild monkey to a modern, highly intelligent human being.

Even the worst students can complete a university undergraduate course in an unfamiliar major in 15 days, while the most capable can even shorten this time to 3 days, easily achieving photographic memory and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations.

"Different environments give rise to different technological paths... American biotechnology is truly impressive!"

"Even with just a superficial set of data, we actually managed to produce some results."

When Lin Dong saw the test subjects in the video, the most impressive one had already demonstrated learning abilities comparable to himself in the third grade of elementary school, while also barely possessing one percent of his current learning capacity. Lin Dong's expression showed a hint of amazement.

Of course, this only means that they have a strong learning ability.

Other forms of inspiration, creativity, focus, thinking, and the ability to draw inferences, while significantly improved compared to ordinary humans, are still like fireflies compared to the bright moon in the sky.

Not to mention, he even opened one.

The reborn soul vision can perceive the flaws and balance of all things, and has a perception of the structure and perfection of all things beyond common sense, directly pushing the fields of algorithms, system optimization, and engineering design to new heights.

Even if you're not afraid of expending energy, you can directly tackle problems you can't find or areas where technology is uncharted, even if you lack data.

Crack—

At that moment, the door next door was pushed open, and Wang Xingguo walked over, unzipped his coat, and took out a confidential document sealed with sealing wax.

"The covert front has collected some clinical data and research data on this AVM drug... but they can't access the core data, so the information isn't complete. If needed, we can find another way."

Wang Xingguo handed the document to Lin Dong and quickly explained some of the details inside.

:

"There's no need to take any risks. I can just take a look at some of the data."

Lin Dong shook his head, took the file bag, tore off the sealing wax, and pulled out a set of data to examine carefully.

Emerging Biotech is a relatively unknown company, not as well-known as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, or Merck.

But only those in the industry know that this is a company that has long provided various vaccines, medical solutions, and biopharmaceuticals to the US military and government personnel.

Along with Fort Detrick, which received data from Unit 731 during World War II and specialized in cutting-edge biological military research, providing various biological warfare solutions, it is known as the twin stars of the US biological warfare field.

Fort Detrick Laboratory was responsible for research, while Emerging Biotech was responsible for production and supply.

The fact that this innovative biotech company, in collaboration with Pfizer, developed this genius drug clearly shows that the allure of Lin Dong's genius biotech project was too great.

In order to conduct research and overcome the technical challenges more quickly, the old US military and pharmaceutical capital directly joined forces.

"Using gene therapy technology, using AAV modified viruses as vectors to target and infect neurons, delivering BNF and KLTH functional genes into neurons, and enhancing the activity and function of brain neurons... that's fucking insane."

Lin Dong quickly glanced through a few pages and immediately understood the technical approach of this AVM genius potion. A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Functional genes such as bnf and klth are referred to as "intelligent genes" in the field of modern neuromedical research.

BNF can nourish and promote neuronal connections, providing neurons with more energy and nutrients.

KLTH can rejuvenate neurons, slow down brain aging, and enhance neuronal function and activity.

Because once neurons mature, their lifespan is the same as that of humans.

So, through gene therapy, using vectors such as viruses, these intelligent genes can be delivered into neurons, infecting and altering the characteristics of neurons. In theory, this could strengthen brain neurons and allow humans to further "enhance their intelligence."

Moreover, in animal experiments such as mice, this theory of gene therapy to improve intelligence has been preliminarily verified.

However, because the human brain has a much larger number of neurons and more complex connections between them, the immune system may attack altered neurons.

Without a large amount of data to guide it, and without an overall direction to guide it, this set of intelligence-enhancing therapies simply cannot accurately infect and target the body's neurons, and also prevent them from being attacked by the immune system.

But now, an emerging organism has suddenly developed this genius drug called AVM. Even if its biological project provides some guidance, it has undoubtedly broken ethical restrictions and secretly conducted large-scale experiments...

"So, they made the right choice?"

Upon hearing Lin Dong's exclamation, Wang Xingguo's expression immediately turned serious.

If this biological project, originally intended to protect Lin Dong from exposure, ends up giving the Americans a supreme secret manual, allowing them to unlock the shackles of human intelligence, then this deal will be a loss.

"It's right, and it's wrong."

Lin Dong shook his head: "Gene therapy using viruses as vectors can indeed alter and enhance neurons."

However, there are too many issues involved, and current biotechnology simply cannot achieve improvements without side effects…

:

Although the neurons of life on Earth originated from an ancient viral infection, it is not a problem to further activate and strengthen neurons through viral means.

However, the evolution and selection process that nature has undergone over a billion years cannot be compensated for by modern biotechnology in a short period of time.

He produced such a set of biological data in elementary school that it completely fooled the Americans. It's not that his expertise in biological research was already that great when he was in elementary school.

Rather, he simply used a portion of his own medical examination research data as a sample.

Even the biotechnology industry he plans to develop next is essentially a result of his research on physical examinations.

"Won't things get out of control if the virus is used as a carrier?"

Wang Xingguo seemed to have thought of something and said with a worried expression, "Don't let them mess things up. What if they really create some kind of zombie virus or apocalyptic virus?"

"Godfather, zombies defy thermodynamics and simply don't exist. As for the virus going out of control..."

Lin Dong shook his head and said objectively, "In terms of infectivity, viruses that act on the nervous system will always only be the younger brother of respiratory viruses."

Furthermore, the sheer volume of information in a virus dictates that it's impossible for a virus to be both highly infectious and highly lethal... Therefore, no matter how out of control it gets, at most it will just be the emergence of another highly virulent rabies virus, which can be easily prevented by developing a vaccine.

"That puts my mind at ease..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xingguo breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "Damn, watching the Americans do this kind of biological research is really exciting."

"Biology is a forbidden zone, but it is also the future. We still need the help of the Americans to break into this forbidden zone. Only their system, which does not treat the lower classes as human beings, combined with their world-class biological research and development capabilities, can advance biological research so quickly."

As for this AVM potion…”

After reviewing all the data, Lin Dong took out paper and pen and carefully calculated for about ten minutes. Finally, looking at the calculated data, he paused for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let's not touch them anymore. These test subjects are all doomed."

AVM drugs can enhance their neurons and improve their intelligence.

However, once this drug is injected, it takes effect in 3 to 10 days, followed by 20 to 200 days in which all the brain's nerves will die.

Even someone as flawless as him, born with perfect physical attributes, wouldn't dare to burn so intensely; if he overexerted himself, he might end up in the hospital or even suffer brain death.

Although he has continuously learned, improved, and trained over the years, it is now almost impossible for him to encounter problems that would overwhelm him.

But this indirectly shows that brain neurons are all fragile little things, and they may go on strike and die if the burden is even slightly heavy.

These artificial geniuses who rely on biological agents to forcibly enhance brain neurons will only have more fragile nerves.

Once this AVM drug is injected into the body, and unless neuronal viral vector blockade is performed before it fully takes effect, the fate of the individual is already sealed...

"Brain death in just over 200 days, a little over six months?"

Wang Xingguo's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. "So, they don't sell the drugs, they only sell technical solutions..."

"Godfather, from a capitalist perspective, an ordinary person who works diligently for a lifetime is worth half a year of burning the midnight oil with a top genius."

:

Lin Dong threw the document into the shredder, shook his head, and said, "The latter can obviously create higher value, ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times or ten thousand times the value. Capital, pursuing the greatest value and profit, will naturally make the most appropriate choice."

"That's true, capital doesn't consider morality or humanity..."

Wang Xingguo nodded in realization, then said with a look of relief, "Fortunately, as long as we follow the capital route, manufacturing industries with low profit margins will inevitably become hollowed out. Otherwise, this AVM drug plus an industrial system would be really difficult to deal with."

At this point, Wang Xingguo also realized that given the Americans' characteristic of not treating the lower classes as human beings, they would definitely make great use of this AVM drug.

However, having geniuses is not enough, nor is having technology, because all technology is inseparable from industrial application.

Without a complete industrial system to support it, no matter how powerful the AVM drug is or how many artificial geniuses there are, they can only exert their strength in a single field at most.

Cutting-edge equipment like fighter jets and hypersonic fighter jets, which test the entire industrial system, simply cannot be manufactured.

After all, if it weren't for industrial constraints, with Lin Dong's talent, they would have already deployed space fighters and played with starships.

In terms of industry, if we say we're second in China, no one in the world would dare to say they're first.

"So don't worry too much. Let them get a feel for things in the biological field first, then we'll figure out how to cross the river..."

Lin Dong smiled, then seemed to have thought of something and said with a strange expression, "In this year's election, biomedical capital is mainly on the side of the pro-democracy camp, to see if the pro-democracy camp will use this to win votes."

If it's about campaigning, then I'll pass the fatal side effect of the AVM serum to that blond Republican. If he can't win the polls, he'll definitely start firing away if he gets desperate...
