Big Data Cultivation

Feng Jun was momentarily stunned when he heard the question, then he laughed and replied, "I know that in Mai Nation, it’s you acting there, so it just happens that I’ve been displeased with them for a long time. Seeing them babble tirelessly is annoying, so I casually framed them."

He certainly would not admit that he was worried someone might not return, and he didn’t want the other party to discover this "weakness" on his side.

Beauty Lin asked this question specifically, obviously with some consideration, but the answer... how should one say?

It’s just average, not the best, but not the worst either.

However, she couldn’t help but probe further, "I thought you might be worried about warriors falling into others’ hands."

Feng Jun glanced at her and then laughed, "Been painting for so long and still not finished? Indeed, it’s quite laborious... Alright, no need to test further, I won’t say the answer you least want to hear."

Beauty Lin blinked and tilted her head to ask, "The result I least want to hear... what is that?"

"There are many results you least want to hear," Feng Jun replied expressionlessly, "but I won’t say any."

Beauty Lin tilted her head, blinked twice frantically, and made an innocent gesture, "Just say one, alright?"

Feng Jun’s face darkened, "I now feel that you’re getting a bit arrogant... Guess you won’t want anything in the future?"

"Alright, forget it then," Beauty Lin shrugged helplessly, "It’s getting more and more boring."

Feng Jun couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her, turned around and walked away, pondering the cargo transport on Xingzheng Star; it should also be operated soon.

However, later that day, Yu Qingzhu came again, and the production line installed in Jin Province for diabetes medication had started producing, but it seemed... there was a problem.

Feng Jun felt a bit puzzled but didn’t rush to ask. Yu Qingzhu taking the initiative to help Luohua was worth encouraging. After asking carefully about the situation, he realized... he had missed mentioning a couple of sentences.

Just like what Ninth Brother from the Chen Family said, this diabetes medication is generic, and some special types of diabetes, such as genetic or gene mutation directions, require other treatment methods.

In fact, diabetes as a disease cannot be completely cured even within the Human Federation, gene mutations can be handled a bit easier, but how to cure genetic ones?

Feng Jun had heard Ninth Brother mention this because the other party was worried he would be dissatisfied and specially informed him about the nature of the product being produced.

However, when explaining with Beauty Lin, he didn’t mention this matter, the instructions were written very clearly, and they only need to check the manual—essentially, he was giving away the production line, no need to explain too much.

This medication production line was installed quickly, the trial production has been ongoing for a week, and besides Beauty Lin’s "uncle," Yin Mingyue, a rather flamboyant figure from there, contacted many diabetes patients for trial consumption.

Trial results showed noticeable effects in 95% of the cases, it worked in one to three days, some had no reaction, and two people actually worsened, while Yu Qingzhu volunteered to help them proofread the manual aside from transporting the production line.

The main translation responsibility was still managed by the translation team organized by Beauty Lin; however, Yu Qingzhu’s Federation language proficiency, obtained from Feng Jun through Divine Sense Jade Slip infusion, was superior to the translation team.

Her willingness to help with proofreading was a good thing, and now with issues in the medication, she came to ask Feng Jun.

Feng Jun explained the general situation before asking confusedly, "Wasn’t it noted on the manual that it’s not effective for all types of diabetes?"

"It was noted, but..." Yu Qingzhu frowned slightly, "The manual stated the types that cannot be effectively treated, those prohibiting use during breastfeeding, etc. I do understand these parts, but there are some disease types I completely can’t grasp."

She handed the manual to Feng Jun, and as Feng Jun looked at it, he was dumbfounded: many diseases used specialized medical terms that even he couldn’t understand—actually, even those specialized medical terms in the Earth Realm, he didn’t master them well.

"Anyway, I made the general idea clear," Feng Jun replied in a deep voice, "The two who worsened should be gene mutation types, diabetes patients with family genetic history mostly won’t have this... These two people just need to stop using it, and they won’t worsen."

Yu Qingzhu blinked her eyes, and asked gravely, "Is it difficult to treat those with family genetic history?"

"Very difficult," Feng Jun shook his head, "It requires targeting defects in base pairs to develop specific medications... but this is something only the affluent can enjoy, ordinary people’s choices are lifelong medication, so it can’t be cured, though side effects would be minimal."

Yu Qingzhu blinked again, her long eyelashes twitching, "Even with the Federation’s capabilities, they can’t treat genetic diseases?"

"It depends on what type of genetic disease," Feng Jun wasn’t a medical professional, but had crammed some knowledge, "Through blood purification, during extracorporeal circulation, defective base pairs can be targeted with particle bombardment and through the refluxed blood, it can counter-effectively influence human genes."

Yu Qingzhu’s cherry-like mouth gaped in astonishment, and after a while, she asked, "This is also very expensive, right?"

"Haha, at least only affordable for the middle class," Feng Jun smiled, "but compared to developing specialized medications, it’s still much cheaper."

Yu Qingzhu finally realized what Feng Jun was talking about earlier—it involved targeted development of specialized medications? "Are we talking about blood lipid purification? I feel that this counter-effectiveness may not be very good, the lifespan of red blood cells is only four months."

"The effects are evidently mediocre, so one must come every six months. It’s something the middle class simply cannot afford."

So this is the Federation’s middle class? Yu Qingzhu felt her understanding had been refreshed again. "But... at most this can only change a person’s physique, right? And it might not even be effective. How can it treat hereditary diseases?"

Feng Jun glanced at her helplessly, "One generation may not work, two generations may not work, but it will be effective eventually... Have you forgotten about evolutionary theory?"

The evolution theory he refers to is not survival of the fittest and death of the unfit, but the modern concept of "use leads to expertise." The reason a giraffe’s neck is long is not that the short-necked ones all died, but because each generation stretched their necks diligently, gradually leading to naturally longer necks.

Particle attacks inversely affect genes, with adverse genes being attacked generation after generation. Over time, they naturally correct themselves.

On a side note, could Huaxia develop such technology within fifty or sixty years? Feng Jun is completely pessimistic.

Yu Qingzhu, also considered a top student, perhaps not at par with Gu Jiahui, certainly doesn’t fall short of Feng Jun. She pondered for a while, understood what he meant, then nodded thoughtfully, "That would require many generations of continuous treatment... necessitating several generations of middle class, wouldn’t it?"

"There’s no other way; if you can’t afford it, you just can’t get treated," Feng Jun spread his hands. "It’s not like you can prevent people from having children... When it comes to having children, I truly resent the family planning policy. The interstellar era is about to arrive; how can it work without having children?"

His words came purely from sentiment. In the Federation, a family would have at least five or six children. The government encourages childbirth, whereas in the Earth Realm, not to mention Huaxia—even Europa is being conquered by the uterus weapon.

Without population, where does civilization come from? It would only end up as a vanishing civilization!

However, upon hearing the phrase "having children," Yu Qingzhu inexplicably blushed slightly.

She composed herself before catching up to his pace, "If there’s no more treatment, then it’s interrupted, right? Moreover... there’s the possibility of atavism, isn’t there?"

"Exactly, that’s why hereditary diseases are difficult to treat," Feng Jun nodded. "This involves not only ethics but also sociology, economics... It can even be elevated to the height of civilization development. A flawed member of the same race is still a member of the same race."

Then he realized he had digressed, "I wonder, why are you so interested in helping Chief Lin’s uncle?"

Yu Qingzhu answered nonchalantly, "Mainly because Yin Mingyue told me about what she does... I really admire her."

Is that really all? Feng Jun looked at her skeptically; why do I feel a bit disbelieving?

Yu Qingzhu blushed again under his gaze, so she answered with determination, "Additionally, I heard you, boss, have some Evergreen Elixirs and I want to perform well, hoping to get some for my grandfather."

Now that sounds right, Feng Jun nodded slightly, "This elixir I don’t have much; there are other uses... It isn’t the Potion of Longevity."

Ninety Evergreen Elixirs are only equivalent to three Potions of Longevity and cannot perfectly substitute them.

And even the Potion of Longevity requires injecting three doses every ten years, continuously sustained.

Of course, if you miss the ten-year period, injecting six doses every twenty years is also possible.

What Feng Jun admired is that, despite the wars, the Federation has managed to achieve the capability for widespread supply of the Potion of Longevity.

Of course, widespread supply doesn’t mean one can buy as much as they want; it is tied to personal identity. As long as one is a qualified Federation citizen and not on the dishonesty list, has not evaded military service, and other malignant behaviors, the Federation provides the elixir at a low price when it’s due.

Those who have become pirates or ended up on the blacklist should not consider purchasing at regular prices.

If one wants to purchase at high prices, the cost will be so high that ordinary people can hardly bear it—and it’s not readily available either.

There are people secretly engaging in this trade, but the Federation cracks down severely, equating it to shaking the foundation of the Federation.

Ultimately, the production cost of the Potion of Longevity may not be exceptionally high, but it is definitely monopolized by the Federal Government.

Feng Jun is well aware that despite Xingzheng Star being heavily attacked by the Insect Race, the stored Potion of Longevity on the planet is certainly plentiful.

But he never entertained thoughts of seizing those Potions of Longevity; doing so would first lead to chaos, and second... If he were to take those elixirs, it would greatly affect the morale of the Human Race on the planet.

Yi Jue and others haven’t considered this either because... it’s not worth it.

Not to mention, as long as one can enter the Qi Refinement Realm, living to around one hundred and fifty years is not a problem, and those cultivators reaching the frontline, with a minimum cultivation level of Golden Core—even if they have younger ones needing care, the Out of Dust Realm grants a lifespan of five hundred.

Mortals who cannot even enter the Qi Refinement Realm are not considered human by the real experts—anyone with a little promise wouldn’t end up like that.
