Chapter 438 - 438 Medicine Testing Begins
438 Medicine Testing Begins
What he meant by airborne was to let Phantom Wolf[1] directly parachute into the Institute of Special Biology.
After he heard Wu Mo’s request, the Air Force general agreed without hesitation.
“Little Wu, I guarantee that he’ll be right in front of you before tonight.”
After he hung up, Wu Mo could not help but sigh at the Air Force general’s efficiency. The original plan was to wait three days, but now that the leader had given the order, they could start testing the medicine tomorrow.
Wu Mo and Phantom Wolf completed the docking process because he had descended from space.
Wu Mo also asked the cafeteria to prepare a table of delicious food in advance. Then, he went to the square outside the Institute of Special Biology to wait with Xu Wanqing.
“What are we doing?” Xu Wanqing asked curiously.
“Waiting for the heroic man to descend from the sky.”
Xu Wanqing was a little confused because she did not understand the meaning behind Wu Mo’s words.
“You’ll understand in time.”
“This is my first time observing the orbital airborne troops up close.”
Wu Mo raised his hand to look at his watch. It was time to meet Phantom Wolf.
“Phantom Wolf is coming!”
The two of them looked up at the sky in unison.
A black dot appeared in the sky, and it was descending rapidly.
When it reached a predetermined height, blue flames suddenly spurted out from the bottom of the black dot.
Due to the thrust, the airborne capsule’s speed gradually slowed down.
This spectacular scene attracted many researchers who had just gotten off work. Everyone gathered around the safety line to watch.
About a minute later, the airborne capsule reached the designated altitude, and a white, flawless parachute unfolded gracefully.
The speed of the airborne capsule decreased, and after a long five-minute descent, it was finally 20 meters away from the ground.
Bang!
The hatch suddenly opened, and many of the researchers exclaimed.
Phantom Wolf was wearing high-tech kinetic power armor. Like a hero in a movie, he jumped down and successfully landed on the ground.
Phantom Wolf laughed heartily. Wu Mo picked up his flask and filled it with fine wine.
“Old Wu, you and I are comrades, as well as loyal friends, but there’s another layer to our relationship. You’re the source of my talent,” Phantom Wolf said emotionally.
“During that operation, I was crippled. It was you who used the Dragon Soul equipment to allow me to regain my mobility and continue to be active on the battlefield.
“So much time has passed, and just as I’m about to retire, you suddenly tell me that you’ve developed a longevity potion.
“I really don’t know how to describe you. You’re my savior!”
Phantom Wolf raised his flask excitedly. Wu Mo understood what he meant and also raised a wine glass.
The two of them toasted and drank.
In the banquet that followed, they exchanged brief words, but the wine added to their excitement.
…
Wu Mo had Phantom Wolf fast for a day and only ingest some nutrients in fluid form before administering the medication.
At night, they began the process of injecting the drug in the laboratory.
Phantom Wolf was lying in the nourishment cabin, which was surrounded by light green life-support fluid.
These fluids were filled with nourishment and made according to the system’s information. They could prevent various physical diseases and defects caused by a month of fasting.
“Phantom Wolf, you need to be fully prepared. Once the medicine takes effect, you’ll fall into a month-long sleep.
“When you wake up again, your body will be completely new. You’ll be thirty or thirty-five years old again.
“Time to welcome a new life!”
The effects of the Life First potion varied from person to person, and it completely depended on the individual.
Other than the crucial factor of having Chinese genes, another deciding factor was the strength of one’s physique.
In other words, the stronger the body, the more obvious the effects of Life First.
Phantom Wolf’s physical condition was excellent. Even though he was over 50 years old, he was still one of the best in the country.
Phantom Wolf nodded slightly. Since he was wearing a life-support device, he was temporarily unable to speak.
Everything was ready, so Wu Mo nodded at Xu Wanqing.
With that, the injection of Life First was officially initiated!
The hatch gradually closed, and the cabin was filled with more nourishment fluids. The mechanical arm responsible for injecting Life First was on standby.
Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing put on protective clothing as well as special masks.
“Wanqing, place Life First in the nourishment cabin!”
A bottle of white potion was pulled out of the freezer, and it looked strange under the light.
However, Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing knew very well that it was the “hope” that many people on the verge of death yearned for.
This potion could extend one’s lifespan by 30 years, so if it was auctioned, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would fetch a price of 10 billion.
The artificial intelligence program in the laboratory broadcast the information.
[Reporting to the chief engineer. Phantom Wolf has entered a dormant state, and he may be injected with Life First at any time!]
Wu Mo placed Life First into the machine and transferred it to the mechanical arm.
Life First was then injected into Phantom Wolf’s artery!
The mechanical arm quickly pierced his skin, and the white drug flowed into his artery. In just a few seconds, the injection was done.
Wu Mo immediately turned on the camera to record the changes in the next 30 days.
“Wanqing, from now on, you and I will take turns being on duty. I’ll be in charge at night, and you’ll be in charge during the day.
“If Phantom Wolf’s vital signs appear abnormal, we must immediately stop the experiment.”
“Alright, everything will proceed according to your arrangements.”
Xu Wanqing nodded in agreement.
In the span of working together, Xu Wanqing’s respect for Wu Mo had risen to the highest level.
She followed Wu Mo’s arrangements without reservation and rarely asked for any justification.
As night had fallen, Xu Wanqing left to get some rest first. Wu Mo sat near the nourishment cabin with a philosophy book while he paid attention to Phantom Wolf’s physical condition.
They had skipped the clinical trial stage for Life First, and it was not 100% suitable for everyone. Hence, there was still a chance that various small problems would occur.
When that happened, the person monitoring needed to intervene and treat or terminate the experimental procedure.
If the process was terminated, there would be no harm to the recipient. The drug would just not be able to fully exert its effect.
A person could use this drug up to three times. The first time, it could extend one’s life by up to 30 years. The second time, it could extend one’s life by up to 10 years. The third time, it could only add another year.
Life First reactivated the human body’s hematopoietic system, and the human body itself had its limits.
The potion only delayed aging by enhancing one’s potential. It could not increase a person’s lifespan out of thin air.
“The biotechnology field is indeed expensive, especially when it comes to the study of hereditary characteristics.
“Life First has been customized. The next step will depend on the leaders’ decision.”
The leaders knew the needs of China better than Wu Mo.
He was committed to continuously manufacturing equipment for China, but due to time constraints, he could not go further in depth. The leaders knew the country like the back of their hands, so Wu Mo needed their advice.
