"Can this Special Protein be synthesized artificially?"
Hearing Gu Haiming mention the concentration issue, Xia Xu fell into thought.
Whether it was medicine or anything else, discussing effects without considering dosage was nonsense. Quantity really might be one reason this Special Protein had no effect on the human body.
There might also be factors such as absorption efficiency. Genetically modified humans like Yao Fu, who had undergone Genetic Fusion, had greater cellular activity and tissue strength, and very likely had more efficient mechanisms for utilizing it as well.
"No. I've already tried that. At the very least, we currently have no way to synthesize this protein artificially."
Gu Haiming shook his head slightly, giving an answer that was hardly unexpected.
Then he continued, "However, the synthesis of this protein exhibits a peculiar mechanism similar to that of endorphins. Under the stimulus of intense pain and fear, the concentration of these Special Proteins in my body rises significantly. I suspect strenuous exercise, being near death, intense pressure, a sense of danger, and so on would also work."
"Oh? Then assuming this Special Protein really can enhance the human body, wouldn't that mechanism be equivalent to unleashing your hidden potential in a crisis?"
Xia Xu looked intrigued.
Knowledge of biology really was more fascinating. If his talent hadn't been limited, and the barrier to entry for such disciplines hadn't been so high, he would have wanted to study the subject further under Gu Haiming.
"The human body is an extremely precise and complex system. To survive and reproduce, it already possesses numerous mechanisms for sustaining life and responding to crises. But to conserve limited resources and prevent damage, it has also developed corresponding functional restrictions."
Gu Haiming smiled.
He didn't give any detailed examples, but probably any ordinary person could casually name
