53  Chapter 42 Immune System

The immune system is an important system for biological entities to carry out immune responses and immune functions. It consists of immune organs, immune cells, and immune molecules.

The immune system has the ability to recognize and eliminate antigenic foreign substances, to coordinate with other systems within the body, and to maintain the stability of the internal environment and physiological balance. The immune system is the most effective weapon against pathogens' invasion, capable of detecting and clearing foreign substances, and extrinsic microorganisms that cause fluctuations in the internal environment.

If the human body were seen as a country, the immune system would be the army that maintains national security. Once there's an invasion from enemies or an internal rebellion, the army would quickly detect the enemies or rebels and deploy to eliminate them.

With no enemy invasion or internal rebellion, the country's security is naturally guaranteed. However, if the country fails to detect invading enemies or rebels, the enemy will wreak havoc within the country, causing substantial harm, which manifests as the country falling ill.

Therefore, the immune system is the most important security barrier within the human body. As long as the immune function is normal, the body rarely gets sick. But once there is a problem with the immune function, the chances of the body falling ill greatly increase. The majority of diseases that occur in the human body are related to the immune system.

Although humans have researched the human immune system for decades and reached some systematic conclusions, we have not yet fully understood the operational mechanisms of immune functions. Most of what is known about the operation of the immune system is conjecture, with some of these conjectures being fantastical and others seeming completely absurd.

Human research institutions will conduct experimental validations based on these conjectures, but with limited research funding, they will only validate the conjectures they deem useful. Other conjectures are dismissed as jokes and put away.

The Auxiliary Brain, when analyzing related data, did not differentiate the credibility of these immune system conjectures; instead, it parsed and deduced all conjectures in the system, and surprisingly found clues within these wild speculations, opening a breakthrough and unraveling the ultimate mystery of the human immune system's operation. Since this technology has been marked on the Technology Tree, it indicates that the technology is affirmed by the Technology Tree and is correct.

Although Yan Fei did not have professional medical knowledge, he had a certain understanding of the immune system and was clear about its importance to the human body. Therefore, when he learned that the ultimate secret of the human immune system had been decoded, he was ecstatic.

Knowing the operating principles of the immune system means that corresponding immune therapies can be developed for human diseases, offering the hope that some previously incurable diseases may be healed. Basically, all medical research institutions in the world are studying human genes, hoping to unlock the mysteries of human life at the genetic level. By that time, all human diseases could potentially be cured from a genetic perspective. But with the current level of human technology, if we can't even fully decrypt the human immune system, how could we truly understand the mysteries of human genes?

The breakthrough that the Auxiliary Brain made in decoding the immune system is not as shocking as fully deciphering human genes, but as long as the human immune system is properly utilized, it is already sufficient to treat most current diseases.

Yan Fei learned about the operating principles of the immune system through the Auxiliary Brain, and found it to be quite amazing. Not only can it protect the body from infections by foreign substances, but it also maintains the stability of the internal environment and physiological balance.

For example, if the immune system operates normally, the body can maintain perfect balance, which is reflected in the maintenance of physical body shape.

According to the immune system, the human body needs to maintain a perfect body shape, and thus an Obesity Antibody would emerge within the body, able to automatically break down excess fat and maintain a perfect body shape.

However, in practice, the Obesity Antibody in the immune system tends to disappear gradually with age. Once the Obesity Antibody is lost, the immune system will turn a blind eye to the excess fat in the body and not actively break it down. Over time, obesity will occur.

If the Obesity Antibody in the immune system does not disappear, then once the body fat content exceeds the critical threshold defined by the immune system, the Killer T Cells of the immune system will be rapidly deployed to eliminate the newly formed fat cells, maintaining the perfect body shape.

It's not just the body shape; even the skin has corresponding Skin Antibodies within the immune system. If parasites or other potential damaging foreign substances appear on the skin, the immune system will also dispatch Phagocytic Cells or Killer Cells to engulf these foreign substances and restore the skin to perfect health.

Regrettably, substances like Obesity Antibodies and Skin Antibodies within the human immune system suddenly disappear after puberty ends. As a result, the body invisibly becomes obese and misshapen, and the skin becomes extremely poor.

Having learned the operating principles of the immune system, Yan Fei had an idea: to find a way to restore these antibodies that maintain the body's internal balance in the immune system.

Once the obesity antibody is restored, even if humans indulge in eating and drinking, as long as they do not exceed a certain limit, their body shape will remain normal. Skin antibodies, on the other hand, will maintain human skin health, preventing various moles, acne, parasites, and blemishes from appearing on human skin. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Previously, no company in the world was capable of producing perfect weight loss and beauty products. Even Yan Fei himself had never imagined that one day he would create such products. But after the Auxiliary Brain cracked the ultimate secret of the immune system, manufacturing these products became very easy.

When Yan Fei realized the value of the black technology decoded by the Auxiliary Brain, he understood that his chance to rise had finally come. His company's flagship products were about to debut, rather than remaining just an empty shell.

With a research target in mind, under Yan Fei's guidance, the Auxiliary Brain began to collect more human body data on the Internet. It also collected composition data of various medicines and even vast amounts of plant data. Its goal was to analyze these big data sets to find ways to restore various antibodies in immune cells of the human body.

Considering the limited computational power of the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei did not spread his efforts too thin, but instead focused on the research of the obesity antibody. After all, the standard of living has greatly improved, and humans have transitioned from malnutrition to overnutrition, leading to a significant increase in the number of obese people. The weight loss market was big enough to support the rapid initial development of his company.

Only once there was hope for his products did Yan Fei have the confidence to face Lu Pingping. After all, Lu Pingping resigned to help him, and if he couldn't even produce a product, that would be too unfair to her.

Yan Fei found Lu Pingping and discussed with her, sharing his plans.

Lu Pingping listened carefully to Yan Fei's introduction, then asked, "Do you mean that our products will be available soon, but you are wondering how we should sell them, is that correct?"

Yan Fei said, "Yes, our first batch of products will be related to weight loss. As for the effects, you don't have to doubt them; they will definitely be the most effective weight loss drugs in the world, with no toxic side effects, and the weight reduction will be very fast. Now the key issue is whether we should market this product as a medicine or sell it as food or dietary supplements?"

Lu Pingping asked, "Does this product contain medicinal ingredients?"

Yan Fei shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but there's a strong likelihood that it doesn't contain medicinal ingredients. It should be a substance extracted from plants, natural and non-toxic with no side effects."

In the Auxiliary Brain's research, Yan Fei didn't want to use chemical drugs or gene drugs to target the fat genes, but rather hoped to use purely natural plant extracts. He didn't believe that gene drugs were stronger than the functions of the immune system. After all, humans know too little about genetics, and gene drugs have not undergone prolonged research. If the modifications at the genetic level take centuries to show side effects, then it would be too late for humans to regret.

That's why Yan Fei insisted on utilizing the capabilities of the immune system to achieve the goal of treating diseases through innate immune functions. The abilities of the immune system are native to the body, and various functions have always been present, only weakening or disappearing over time. He was now merely restoring these inherent abilities of the human body without affecting growth and development, which could certainly be said to be purely natural without toxic side effects.

However, while the Auxiliary Brain had not yet deciphered the complete technology, Yan Fei was unclear whether his ideas would be realized, and he could only speak vaguely.

Although Lu Pingping did not understand the intricacies involved, she began to analyze, "If the product contains medicinal ingredients, then we can definitely only sell it as medicine. If there are no medicinal ingredients, we can completely sell it as food or dietary supplements. If we market it as medicine, we need to go through a lot of procedures and pass several phases of clinical trials by the country, and even if everything goes smoothly, the time to market will be at least two years. However, if we sell it as dietary supplements or simply food, basically no time is needed, and as long as we pass the national safety tests, we can go straight to market."

Yan Fei thought for a moment and said, "We can first design two plans for selling as either medicine or dietary supplements (food), getting ready for various production and sales preparations beforehand. As soon as we determine the product type, we can immediately activate the corresponding plan, saving a lot of time."

Lu Pingping was a bit frustrated. She had never seen a company like this, existing for so long without knowing what product they were going to sell and having to create multiple plans for different scenarios. If it wasn't Yan Fei who had asked her to join, she would have turned around and walked away after seeing such a boss. But since it was Yan Fei who asked her to come, she could only try to manage the tasks he had entrusted to her properly.
