Super soldier

The United States is implementing genetically modified projects with the ultimate goal of creating super soldiers who don't need to eat, sleep, heal wounds and even regrow lost limbs.

From the legendary character Beowulf to Captain America (in the film Captain America: The First Avenger) , the idea of ​​super soldiers has always existed in the imagination of people since time immemorial. It is not surprising, therefore, that in today's modern scientific era, the ambition of super soldiers is always the top pursuit of organizations like DARPA (Existing Military Projects Research Agency). great) This is the official branch of advanced technology research for the US Department of Defense, founded in 1958 after the whole world, especially Washington, was struck by the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite, launching the run. Strenuous racing between 2 space powers later.

'For outsiders, it may be a dream too far away, but it has the potential and is backed by mountains of money', the Daily Express quoted Simon Conway novelist, who was allowed access to the technology is being studied at DARPA. With a plentiful source of funds poured more than $ 2 billion a year, DARPA is deploying a project on a machine framework that allows soldiers to run faster and lift heavy objects. However, the organization's most remarkable research is the technique of manipulating or manipulating genes. According to Conway's interpretation, if it is possible to convert fat into energy, genetically modified soldiers do not need to eat regularly, ready to be moved into remote areas with very less dry food to bring. 'It is like an improvement in energy regeneration in the body. Soldiers can run at the same speed as Olympic champions, carry heavy loads and do not need to eat and sleep for an impressive period of time , 'Conway said.

DARPA is also working on a project to stimulate new self-developed cells and hands for those who suffer from bombs and bombs on the battlefield. ' There is already a drug that allows people to "lock in" sleep behavior , according to Professor Joel Garreau of Arizona State University. He said it was tested in US helicopter pilots. The results showed that after 40 hours, people who took the medicine had better concentration than those who had good sleep. Professor Garreau said that this method is more effective than amphetamine, a form of drug that affects decision making and leads to incidents of mistaken shooting.

Experts from the US university also confirmed that DARPA is testing the ability to turn fat (fat) into energy.'The problem here is that a member of the Special Forces burns up to 12,000 calories per day (people usually only need 2,000 calories). You can't eat that much. Finding a way to effectively metabolize, you can make the diet worth nearly $ 65 billion in a blink of an eye , 'Garreau said. Besides, the regeneration project is also being invested a lot of effort. ' The document once recorded cases of children losing their fingernails and it kept growing again. The trick here is how to identify the gene that activates that ability. And this is the field that receives a lot of funding for research , 'concluded Professor Garreau.
