W.H. Institute of Pharmacy.

"Hey, Houghton, long time no see, how's it going?"

Seeing his friend, Jordan Michelle hugged him excitedly.

"Not bad, what about you?"

Houghton asked.

"Not great, you know,"

Jordan Michelle shrugged: "That's how to do drug research, if your research results are useful, you will never be short of money in your life, but before you have ...... results"

Jordan Michelle pouted helplessly and did not continue to speak.

"Oh, yes, yes. ”

Horton nodded.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly come to New York?"

Jordan Michelle asked, "Aren't you traveling to Asia?"

"I'm here this time, in fact, just for you. ”

Horton put his box on the table and asked with a smile, "Guess what's in there?"

"What?"

Jordan Michelle guessed, "Could it be some kind of gift from the East?"

"Gifts, but trust me, they're going to surprise you. ”

Horton smiled mysteriously, and then, under Jordan Michelle's curious gaze, gently opened the suitcase.

"Oh, a pretty flower!"

As the suitcase opened, Jordan Michelle saw a bright red flower placed inside, and there was a faint fragrance wafting in the air.

"I admit that the flower is beautiful, but ......"

Jordan Michelle looked at Horton suspiciously: "This flower didn't surprise me." ”

"That's because you don't know what kind of flower it is. ”

Horton smiled lightly.

"What kind of flower is this?"

Jordan Michelle was intrigued by Horton's words.

"Blood Orchid!"

Holden lowered his voice and said, "The legendary blood orchid that can make people immortal!"

"Come on, Houghton!"

Hearing this, Jordan Michelle laughed and said, "Immortal...... You'll believe this kind of nonsense?"

"No, no, man, listen, I'm serious. ”

Horton said solemnly: "I brought this flower out of Borneo with great painstaking efforts, and according to the rumors of a mysterious and ancient tribe there, all of them have a lifespan of hundreds of years after taking the sacrifice of this flower. ”

"Horton, do you think it's possible?"

Jordan Michelle still didn't believe it: "If there really is such a flower in this world, then it should have been discovered a long time ago, how could it be your turn to find it?"

"No, you don't understand. ”

Horton said: "This 'blood orchid' only blooms once every seven years, and each bloom only lasts for half a year, if you miss this half year, you can only wait for another seven years...... Of course, the most important thing is that there are certain risks associated with taking this flower, some people may gain a long life, and some people may die outright. ”

"You didn't lie to me?"

Seeing Horton's troubled appearance, Jordan asked hesitantly.

"Dude, I brought all the flowers here for you to study, what am I lying to you for?"

Horton didn't have a good airway.

"You mean to put this ...... Hmm, the blood orchid sent me for research?"

Jordan Michelle was surprised and delighted.

"Of course, we're friends after all, aren't we?"

Horton smiled, "Of course, if you really come up with something good, remember to leave some for me." ”

"Haha, of course, I won't forget you!"

Jordan Michelle carefully held the blood orchid in the palm of his hand and said.

"By the way, how are you going to study it?"

Horton asked with concern, "I remember you didn't major in phytomedicine when you went to college. ”

"Yes, I didn't study phytomedicine, but there are two people who are experts in it. ”

Jordan Michelle smiled: "One is Dr. Jack Byron, who only joined the institute last month, and the other has also submitted his resume to me, and I am about to promise him to join the WH institute...... Speaking of which, he has an academic report to be released tomorrow. ”

"Briefing?"

Horton raised his eyebrows: "Could it be a well-known professor in the field of phytomedicine?"

After all, ordinary people can't hold an academic conference.

"No, no, no, he's not a professor yet...... However, in the field of phytomedicine, his fame in the past year is not small. ”

Jordan Michelle said: "The most important thing is that the question of his research is whether there are really plants in the plant kingdom that can allow human cells to break through the Haflik limit." ”

"Really?"

Horton was surprised and asked, "Is there anyone really studying such a theory that seems close to legend in the eyes of scientists?"

The so-called "Hayflik limit" theory is a hypothesis published by the American microbiologist Leonardo Hayfrik in 1965, which states that cells in the human body will die after 56 divisions due to self-production of toxins.

At present, the clinical medical community is also inclined to believe that this is the cause of our body's aging and death, that is, the "56 divisions" is the limit of human cells dividing on their own and maintaining the body's metabolic cycle.

Once this limit can be breached, then the life expectancy of human beings will be greatly increased.

"What's his name?"

Horton asked curiously.

Alex White, the youngest doctor of phytomedicine in Colombia. ”

Jordan Michelle replied.

......

Next.

A spacious and luxurious hall.

Baizhu stood on the stage and was talking to the people below.

"In summary...... I think it's theoretically possible to find plants in the plant kingdom that allow human cells to break through the Heflich limit!"

"If we really find this plant in the future, then I think it will not be far from the realization of human immortality." ”

Wow~~!

As Baizhu's voice fell, everyone in the audience immediately gave warm applause.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

After Baizhu thanked everyone, he came backstage.

"Dr. White, what a wonderful report you just presented!"

Seeing Atractylodes coming back, Jordan Michelle got up and gave Atractylodes a hug: "I've never seen anyone who has been able to explain the report of phytopharmacology so thoroughly and vividly." ”

"Mr. Michelle, you've won the prize. ”

Glancing at the blonde man behind Jordan Michelle, Baizhu's heart moved slightly.

This should be the villain in the movie world of Anaconda Disaster, right?

Noticing Baizhu's eyes, Jordan Michelle introduced: "I forgot to introduce you, this is Jack Byron, like you, is also a doctor of phytomedicine." ”

"Hello, Dr. Byron. ”

Baizhu shook hands with the main character in this movie.

"Hello. ”

Jack Byron's face was a little unpleasant.

Seeing Jack Byron's strange appearance, Jordan Michel hurriedly interjected: "Dr. White, in fact, I came to you this time, first, to tell you that you have been officially hired by our institute, and second, I want to consult you, do you really think that there are plants in nature that can allow humans to break through the 'Havelik limit'?"

Hearing the second half of Jordan Michelle's words, Baizhu was completely determined, and the "WH" Institute had obviously obtained the blood orchid and was preparing to study this drug that could make people immortal.

The thought in his mind turned sharply, but Bai Zhu's face was serious: "Of course it is, Mr. Michelle, I can swear with my professionalism that this plant must exist in this world...... It's just that we may not have some luck to spot them. ”

"Perhaps, luck has come. ”

Jordan Michelle suddenly smiled pointedly.

"Huh?"

Baizhu was secretly happy in his heart, but his face deliberately showed a puzzled look.

"Haha, it's nothing, you'll find out when you join tomorrow. ”

Jordan Michelle suddenly sold the guanzi, winked at Baizhu, and left the lounge with Jack Byron.

"Huh. ”

Watching Jordan Michelle's pretended mysterious behavior, Baizhu, who was familiar with the plot of the movie, could only shake his head and chuckle.

......

This way.

Leaving the lecture hall, Jack Byron frowned and said, "Jordan, are we really going to invite Alex White to participate in the research of the blood orchid?"

"Why not?"

Jordan Michelle asked rhetorically, "At present, he is the only doctor in phytopharmacology who has studied the Hayflik limit in the world, and at the same time has the cheapest, isn't he?"

"But don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Jack Byron retorted, "As soon as Horton brought the Blood Orchid over, he gave a report that there were plants in the world that could break through the Heflick limit...... Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Listen, Jack!"

Jordan Michelle suddenly stopped, looked at Jack Byron seriously and said, "First of all, Horton sent the blood orchid over, even I don't know about it, and Alex White has no reason to know in advance...... Moreover, he has been working on the subject of the Haufflick limit since he was a Ph.D., and it is not surprising that he is now holding a lecture...... Finally!"

Jordan Michelle stared into Jack Byron's eyes and warned, "I know, you are both PhDs in phytomedicine, so it is inevitable that you will look down on each other, but you have to remember that now, you are colleagues in the same institute, and I don't want you to cause any problems in my research because of jealousy or something!"

With that, Jordan Michelle turned and left.

Looking at Jordan's leaving, a trace of resentment flashed in Jack Byron's eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly, because the force was too great, and his knuckles were faintly blue.
