Chapter 609 Journey to the East (5)

Although a large part of the body odor problem can be solved by directly removing a part of the sweat glands through surgery, this kind of surgery requires surgery after all, and there are always some potential risks.

What's more, over the course of tens of thousands of years of human development, the development of sweat glands is actually not a completely bad thing.

From the detection and analysis of human genetic engineering, it can be found that among the three major human races, the most developed sweat glands are the Mu people who are native to the tropics. Basically 90% of the Mu people have body odor.

As for Caucasians, or albino people, the proportion of body odor among them is about 70%.

The last yellow people are actually a wrong name, because the so-called yellow people's skin color is not actually yellow, but a healthy white.

Therefore, some academic institutions in the country have abandoned the habit of naming people by skin color and instead use East Asians as a collective name.

Among East Asians, the proportion of body odor is very low, only about 3 to 4%.

The reason for such a big difference is mainly due to issues of temperature and living environment.

After the end of the last ice age, entering the interglacial period of this era, and then into the Han-Roman era, the differentiation within the human race still maintained the pattern of the post-glacial era.

That is, African tropical mute people, albino people from the Mediterranean, Western Europe, and West Asia, brown people from the South Asian subcontinent, East Asians or mixed-race people from other areas, and ancient people from Oceania (similar to Nepalese people).

From the distribution, it can be seen that Mo, like the ancients, belongs to primitive Homo sapiens without evolution, either living in the tropics or in isolated Oceania.

Albinos live in subtropical and temperate zones.

East Asians are found at all latitudes, and are distributed in Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Central Asia, North Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas.

Essentially speaking, the proportion of body odor in a race reflects the race's ability to withstand heat and cold. The reason why East Asians have less body odor is because they have stronger cold tolerance.

Some East Asians living in the tropics have actually mixed with local brown people and Yamer people, so the proportion of body odor in Southeast Asia is higher than that in East Asia.

Of course, strong body odor is just a change in adapting to the environment. Although the major branches of human beings have differentiated for tens of thousands of years, reproductive isolation has not yet formed.

If the emergence of human civilization is delayed for one million years, there will be obvious reproductive isolation by then, similar to the partial reproductive isolation of Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and ancient humans.

The Desert Pearl Company naturally does not have the ability to modify genes and modify the sweat gland genes of albino and silent people.

You can't modify your genes without surgery, but that doesn't mean it can't be solved.

When the Institute of Biology was studying fluorescent fungi, it conducted targeted cultivation of all kinds of strange mutant species, among which there was a special component that could act on sweat.

This special ingredient does not destroy sweat glands, nor is it a drug that breaks down sweat. Instead, it is temporarily combined with sweat gland cells, prompting sweat gland cells to enter a dormant state and reducing the amount of sweat secreted.

According to the results of clinical experiments, sweat gland inhibitors can be combined with sweat gland cells permanently. As long as sweat gland inhibitors are replenished in time during the replacement of new sweat gland cells, body odor can be eliminated for a long time.

However, this inhibitor is not without side effects. If overdose is accidentally used, it will cause most of the sweat glands in the body to enter a dormant state.

Sweat glands are an important heat dissipation system of the human body. Once the sweat glands stop working, it will inevitably break the body's internal physiological balance and endanger physical health.

Therefore, although sweat gland inhibitors have been developed and have been tested for nearly 16 months, they are still within the scope of specific medical technologies and are not allowed to be purchased by the public.

Although Desert Pearl Company has obtained relevant operating licenses, there are strict restrictions.

The shopping guide introduced it to Cliff: "Mr. Cliff, this is a new technology, and there are some possible risks involved. You'd better understand it."

After speaking, she handed over a document.

Cliff opened the synchronous translation software on his phone, browsed for a while, then raised his head and asked: "In other words, this inhibitor will make sweat gland cells sleep?"

"Yes, we usually use it on armpits, backs, and other areas prone to sweating. This is a cell therapy technology."

After listening to the shopping guide's explanation, Cliff was still a little hesitant. After all, this technology seemed to have just come out. He couldn't be used as a guinea pig, right?

"What are the side effects?"

The shopping guide turned to page six: "These are all possible side effects."

Local skin heat, allergies, endocrine disorders, frequent urination, fear of heat...

These side effects do not necessarily occur. If the dosage and location of use are well controlled, obvious side effects will not occur.

"Is this surgery going to be done here?"

The shopping guide shook his head: "Of course not. This kind of surgery can only be done at Shennong Hospital. There are professional medical staff there. I am just an intermediary here."

Cliff discussed it with Duren and Wenna for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind. In the end, he only bought a bottle of relatively strong perfume.

Leaving the specialty store area, they came to the restaurant.

In terms of food, Greater China is now all-encompassing. The eight major local cuisines and ethnic and local cuisines have also absorbed Japanese cuisine, Southeast Asian cuisine, and Australian cuisine, forming a very comprehensive food culture.

Although Time Restaurant is a chain store, it will develop some special dishes according to the region and local conditions.

For example, this Time Restaurant uses local pastures and roasted lamb to develop sweet and spicy rotating roasted lamb.

A few people ordered roast lamb for three people, as well as a few side dishes, grilled naan and sea buckthorn juice.

Duren took a sip of sea buckthorn juice and said, "Cliff, we still need to think about that surgery, after all, it involves cells."

Cliff did not insist on having his own way, but nodded: "I am indeed a little worried."

"The effect of this technique should be similar to that of surgical resection, but it is non-invasive and painless." Wen Na said while awkwardly picking up a piece of pagoda cauliflower.

Cliff sighed and said: "The medical technology in the East has developed very fast in the past few years. I even suspect that they still hide some unknown secret technologies."

"Haha." Du Lun shook his head: "Normally, big companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer have many cutting-edge projects, especially the technologies in the laboratories. The East must also have them."

In fact, as medical technology in Greater China continues to innovate, traditional medical companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer are also making progress.

It's just that private enterprises have a fatal flaw, that is, they are good at fighting against tailwinds, but it is difficult to sustain against headwinds.

What is a downwind battle?

In fact, when they are in the first camp in the world, they can quickly amplify their advantages and basically have no disadvantages.

Once they lose the protection of the first camp, the weakness and compromise of capital will be quickly exposed, making it difficult to resist the pressure of the first camp.

In essence, it means they have lost their ability to "monopoly".

The monopoly mentioned here is not the monopoly of this industry, but the monopoly of "rules and order", which is a privilege exclusive to the world hegemon.

Through this monopoly of rules and order, various rules can be formulated that are beneficial to oneself, and the opponent will face a very unsolvable enemy.

Because at this time, companies within the world hegemon can serve as both referees and contestants, and can also modify the rules of the competition.
