North America, the suburbs of Los Angeles, Holmby Mountain.
North America, the suburbs of Los Angeles, Holmby Mountain.
A manor named Levyassin was located here.
Unlike other private manors, this manor was located at the foot of Holmby Mountain and was almost isolated from the rest of the villa area.
Not only that, it seemed that it had been a long time since anyone had lived here. The entire manor looked extremely old. Rather than a manor, it looked more like a haunted house in a theme park.
Incomplete bricks and tiles, rusted iron railings, and the lawn that had been in disrepair for years were all signs of the manor's decline.
However, in the parking lot of such a destitute manor, there were dozens of luxury cars parked in front of the gate.
From time to time, luxury cars would turn into the gate of the manor and park in the parking lot under the guidance of the security guards.
After that, these men and women who were dressed in luxurious clothes would enter through the main gate under the guidance of the attendants.
When they entered the gate of the castle, they would see that the interior was decorated magnificently. There were thick and complicated carpets and intricate golden inscriptions on the walls. There was also a huge crystal chandelier at the top of the hall which illuminated the place brilliantly like a paradise on earth.
There were no windows here that could be used to look outside and there were no mirrors that could be used for reflection. The purpose of this place was to prevent people from feeling the passage of time and immerse them endlessly.
Levyassin Manor. The meaning behind this name was only understood by the prominent political figures in Northern America.
This was a casino opened by the Edwards family using their immense influence, which was only open to a small number of wealthy people.
At this time, on the top floor of the heavily guarded Levyassin Castle, in the office of the Edwards family, an old man and a young man were quietly discussing.
The old man was Robert Edwards who had helped Chen Chen secure the Hollywood movie. The young man was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was only about eighteen or nineteen years old and had the unique arrogance of youth in his eyes.
"Uncle, this is yesterday's cash flow from the casino, please take a look."
The young man took two account books and placed them in front of Robert.
Robert glanced at the young man expressionlessly, then picked up the account books and went through them briefly. As he flipped through them, he asked casually, "Why are you here today out of the blue? I asked you to participate in the management, not for you to slack off. "
The young man immediately smiled when he heard that. "Don't worry, dear uncle, I won't let you down. I'm here to inform you that God's Forbidden Zone has made a new announcement."
"Is there any news?" Robert raised his eyebrows.
Ever since he joined this organization called God's Forbidden Zone, they had brought him and his family many surprises. When he joined at the beginning of last year, they only had two mature projects, the "Age-reversal Treatment Project" and the "Cloned Organ Transplantation Project". The other projects, including the "Alzheimer's Disease Reversal Treatment" and "Neural Stem Cell Connection Regeneration", had not taken shape and were still in the research stage.
Although there were only two mature projects, they still attracted the participation of all the families.
Originally, they thought that even if the other projects were still in research, it would take at least a few decades to succeed. In fact, they didn't even have much hope at all. It was like using one billion USD to buy 30 years of life.
However, in less than half a year, Alzheimer's disease was conquered — this was according to the first group of people who went to the headquarters of God's Forbidden Zone for the "Age-reversal Treatment" project.
Following that, God's Forbidden Zone also posted the same news on the Dark Web page, saying that they had developed a drug called AD-001. It indicated that any members of the Disciple Council who showed symptoms of Alzheimer's disease could come to Eco Science City for treatment.
Now, God's Forbidden Zone had completed a new project?
"Yes, Uncle."
The young man seemed to have expected this reaction from his uncle. He logged into the computer with practiced ease and opened a hidden webpage. Suddenly, a logo of a human hand touching a mechanical hand appeared on the screen.
This was the webpage of God's Forbidden Zone. Whether it was entering or logging in, there were multiple checks. If one was not a member of God's Forbidden Zone, they would not be able to find this website.
The main page of the website was black with white text. The background was so black that it looked like an endless abyss, very much in line with the secretive style of the Dark Web.
On the first page of the logo, it directly displayed the progress of several projects, as well as the research status of newly started projects. Even the information of the Blacklight virus BE-006 and the vaccine were directly displayed on it. Obviously, they were very confident in the security of the website.
In order to test God's Forbidden Zone, Robert even invited several of the world's most famous hackers to join forces to attack this website, but the result was unexpected —
As soon as these hackers made their move, God's Forbidden Zone called and directly warned him not to attack the organization's website anymore. Otherwise, their information points would be deducted as a punishment.
He hired hackers to attack the website, but his identity was instantly discovered by the other party. This result shocked Robert and from then on, he dared not underestimate this organization of God's Forbidden Zone.
In his opinion, God's Forbidden Zone must also have its own trump card.
These thoughts flashed through his mind. At this time, his nephew had moved the mouse to the title of an announcement.
[God's Forbidden Zone Cancer Project Team consecutively broke through six conventional cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer, poorly differentiated mixed liver cancer, etc., and developed a cancer-targeted drug with a cure rate as high as 80%!]
This title made Robert's eyes light up.
With the development of medical technology in modern society, it was not uncommon for people to live a long life. As long as one knew how to take care of oneself, it was not difficult for an ordinary person to live past eighty years old.
However, as human lifespans increased, many diseases that once did not exist began to appear, including the number one killer of mankind — cancer.
Robert had always understood that as he grew older, the chances of suffering from cancer would also increase. To put it bluntly, cancer was a matter of probability.
Due to the defects in the human gene, it would gradually lose its coding ability as the number of divisions increased. As the number of divisions increased, there would often be a few cells that did not obey and split into malformed cells, which were then eliminated by the immune system.
However, as the human lifespan continued to increase, the number of divisions also continued to increase. There would always be one or two cells that obtained the ability to not die but looked no different from normal cells in appearance. They would evade the pursuit of the immune system and survive in a secluded corner, where they began to reproduce endlessly.
When it multiplied to a sufficient number, people began to develop all kinds of strange symptoms. However, by this time, it was already in the advanced stage, and human medicine could no longer do anything about it.
In addition to aging, long-term damage and repair to the body's tissues would also trigger genetic mutations and lead to cancer.
For example, long-term exposure to the sun would damage skin cells, and the relationship between the number of times skin exposure and skin cancer was proportional. Smoking would cause lung cell damage, which could easily lead to cancer. Chewing betel nuts would destroy oral cells, leading to oral and esophageal cancer. Drinking alcohol could easily lead to liver and stomach cancer, and so on.
Therefore, Robert had always been worried that even if God's Forbidden Zone gave them an extra thirty years of life, it would still be difficult to survive if they were unlucky and encountered Alzheimer's or cancer.
But now, God's Forbidden Zone had even conquered cancer?
Robert was shocked. However, to say that cancer had been completely conquered was just a boast. Now it seemed that only a few types of cancer had been conquered at most.
However, this was already a very good start.
"Uncle, this is it."
The young man clicked on it and gave the mouse to Robert. "The content of this announcement is that they hope that we, the North American families, can help them get these drugs certified by the North American FDA and Europe's EDQM as soon as possible and protect them."
"Are they going to go on the market again?"
Robert frowned. "If God's Forbidden Zone goes on the market every time it develops a drug, what's the point of us joining God's Forbidden Zone? These drugs can be bought on the market anyway. "
"Uncle, it says that they're applying for certification for three of the more common cancer-targeted drugs, and the remaining three will be kept. In addition, the announcement also says that the reason for this is to increase the revenue of God's Forbidden Zone. These projects burn too much money, and we families can't afford to burn a billion dollars each."
The young man explained.
Robert fell into deep thought when he heard this. He had to admit that the announcement made a lot of sense. Companies like Novartis and Pfizer burned an astronomical amount of money every year. If it were not for the support of countless financial groups, they would not have been able to develop so many special drugs.
Today, Blacklight Biotechnology, a company under God's Forbidden Zone, burned much less money than leading biomedical companies like Pfizer and Novartis.
Moreover, the stronger the influence of God's Forbidden Zone, the greater the benefits to them...
Thinking of this, Robert said, "I understand. I'll discuss this with your father and uncle, you don't have to worry about it."
"Understood."
The young man nodded, turned around, and left Robert's office.
In the next few days, as the ravaging of the Blacklight virus came to an end, the rest of the world also emerged from the aftermath of Africa, and the global economy gradually recovered.
However, just as the continents were silently licking the wounds caused by the virus, another piece of news once again blew up in the medical world. This news was so explosive that it even broke through the professional isolation, spreading its influence to the entire society.
This news was: Blacklight Biotechnology has developed three cancer specific drugs, including triple-negative breast cancer, poorly differentiated liver cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma. The drugs are extremely effective in the treatment of advanced cancer and cancer cell metastasis, with a cure rate of more than 80%.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a global uproar, especially after everyone received another piece of news. Blacklight Biotechnology had submitted the first batch of certification applications to the CFDA in Mainland China, the FDA in Northern America, and the EDQM in Europe.
These agencies were the food and drug regulatory agencies of the various continents. As long as these drugs were certified by the continents, they could be marketed in these continents.
The reason why this news caused such a huge uproar, in addition to the shock of Blacklight Biotechnology, was that these cancers were the most dangerous, had the highest mortality rate, and were the most difficult to treat. Once these three cancers had specific drugs that could be cured, it was almost equivalent to reducing the mortality rate of all cancers by more than 20%!
It was like a bomb plunged into the water. In an instant, countless media outlets stirred up waves, and the continents of the world were eager to focus their attention on this, so that after the downturn caused by the Blacklight virus, a new round of economic boom would be ignited.
[Biotechnology Corporation Blacklight Gains Another Major Achievement, World Leading Pharmaceutical Corporation Pfizer May Usher in the Strongest Competitor of the Century!] — Wall Street Journal.
[Blacklight Biotechnology Official Statement: Cancer May No Longer Be an Incurable Disease!] — New York Times.
[The Medical World's Largest Nuclear Bomb: Many Cancers Have Been Broken, Blacklight Biotechnology's New Drug Enters Clinical Trials!] — People's Daily.
[After Blacklight Biotechnology released a piece of news, the Earth Federation is shocked!] — UC Subscription Number.
Following that, forums all over the world were discussing this matter. The four words "Blacklight Biotechnology" once again rushed to the top search list, triggering a new round of trending topics:
"Big Fruit V: Is cancer really going to be conquered? I thought it would only happen a few hundred years later … "
"Fish Over The Sky: Did this company buy the trending search list? Not only was it every day during the African epidemic, but now that the epidemic is over, it's still on. How disgusting, it's affecting my Zhan Zhan! [Angry] "
"Just Like This Fleeting Time: After all, the closest and most fatal disease to people in this era is cancer. Among the three anti-cancer drugs developed by Blacklight Biotechnology, triple-negative breast cancer is the most dangerous type of all breast cancer. Low-differentiated liver cancer is also one of the hepatocellular cancers with the highest degree of malignancy and the fastest to develop. Meanwhile, squamous cell cancer accounts for the largest incidence of lung cancer, accounting for 50% of all lung cancers. It's precisely because these cancers have the highest mortality rate and are the most widespread that they've caused such a drastic impact.
"Short Sigh: As a biologist, I think the previous poster's analysis is good. However, in addition to this reason, there's actually another reason. That is, this company has just developed the Blacklight virus vaccine and they're already making such a big move. Don't you guys think this company is amazing?"
"Bookworm of 2004: Is this the 2D world, love... Sorry, I came to the wrong door."
Everyone gradually felt that the name "Blacklight Biotechnology" seemed to be appearing more and more frequently recently. Not only that, but every time it appeared, it would set off a new round of craze.
