Chapter 1109: The Topic of Humanity's Eternity

Don's incomprehensible expression did not escape the eyes of the two old guys.

Lei Shidong seems to have forgotten the conflict with Tang En in the past, or he is now facing a very important decision, so important that he can ignore the grudge with Tang En.

"It's actually a pharmaceutical project. Lei Shidong pulled Tang En to sit down.

"Pharmaceutical projects?"

Don's eyes widened, and he was even more surprised.

What do you mean?

Everyone is playing in the media circle and the entertainment industry, and the three giants meet, but they want to discuss pharmaceutical projects?

Invest to make money?

What the hell!

Murdoch hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, Don't get me wrong, this is not a commercial project, but a draft of a university lab that is in the conceptual stage. ”

Don frowned, "What's going on?"

Lei Shidong said: "You know, I graduated from Harvard. This year, I was also invited to attend Harvard's commencement ceremony. Although I didn't go on stage to speak to the children, I also participated in some important events organized by Harvard's official organization, and met a professor of medicine, David Sinclair, and I had a few words with him, probably ...... I remember that he only spoke for 20 seconds, and he sketched his project idea, and he was already very impressed. ”

Don gave him a deep look.

Although this Mr. Lei Shidong is his defeated subordinate, he is still the boss of the United States. It was undoubtedly an important project to be able to shake him deeply.

Lei Shidong continued: "His project is really ...... It's incredible. Once successful, it is likely to change the course of human life and change the status quo of the world. I'm impressed, but I'm not sure. As it happens, Professor Sinclair is an Australian. ”

Murdoch is also Australian.

Whether the entrepreneurial project is good or not, the first thing to look at is not whether the project itself is good enough, but whether the entrepreneur is good.

If you want to find out the background of this Professor David Sinclair, Murdoch is definitely the best candidate.

Australia's newspaper market is almost entirely dominated by Murdoch.

At this point, Murdoch added: "I investigated him for two weeks and was a genius. More than a decade ago, he worked in the laboratory of the famous biologist Cynthia Kenyon and experimentally verified the single gene mutation...... Well, I don't know exactly what to say, but in short, it is a major discovery of human DNA sequences. At the time, he was only 22 years old and had received a ...... Well, a very prestigious medical award. ”

The medical industry is too professional, and there are many proper nouns that Murdoch can't say clearly.

But the specific meaning Don understands, this Professor David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School is a genius!

Murdoch said: "Judging by the behavior and past history, there is nothing wrong with this Sinclair professor. ”

Lei Shidong said: "At the age of 30, he was hired as a professor by Harvard Medical School, yes, that is the year your girlfriend studied at Harvard. ...... 2004 Last year, he received a $5 million donation from philanthropist Paul Green and started his own medical research laboratory. However, his project is really too ...... It's so great, it's almost an eternal topic for humanity. $5 million, simply not enough. ”

Donn asked, "The school doesn't provide funding?"

Lei Shidong said: "Even Harvard can't afford such a big project. ”

Tang En pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of project is it? I know it's a medical direction, but what field is it specifically related to the DNA sequence of the human body?"

Lei Shidong said solemnly: "That's true, but it's not a simple scientific research project, once successful, it has very important practical significance!"

"What's the point?"

"Extend life!"

"Boom!"

Tang En's mind was buzzing, he was originally annoyed and irritable, the resentment in his heart disappeared all of a sudden, and his spirit suddenly tensed up, and he sat up straight.

Extend life!

This is indeed a transcendent topic of human beings!

I see, I see!

No wonder the two old guys, Murdoch and Lei Shidong, would get together and describe the incident in various exaggerated and solemn tones.

In terms of their age, work, career, wealth and family are not really important.

The most important thing is to be able to live longer, to be able to live a few more years!

In fact, Don also understands that this kind of old super-rich man will definitely carry out some life-prolonging behaviors in secret.

For example, exchange transfusion, which is currently more popular. There is also a more bloody way to change all the internal organs of the body.

For example, David Rockefeller, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, has already replaced 5 hearts and is currently planning to replace the 6th heart.

Another example is Hugh Hefner, the founder of "Playboy", who will soon be 80 years old, and his body is still as strong as a young man, and he ...... every day To have sex with 7 women!

Although he said that he was too old to do anything, and that it would be appropriate to reduce the number of women to 3-4 after the age of 80, this was enough to shock.

This combat power is stronger than Tang En!

Is this something that normal people can do?

There must be clever medical support behind this!

Apple's Steve Jobs found out last year that he had pancreatic cancer.

What is pancreatic cancer? It's the scariest type of cancer!

People who are found to have pancreatic cancer will die within 9 months!

However, nine months have long passed.

Jobs teamed up with top institutions such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University to perform whole-genome sequencing on himself, and went to Switzerland to undergo the most advanced fetal receptor radioisotope therapy, and the cancer was almost cured, and even chemotherapy was not needed. If it is repeated in the future, it can also be replaced with a liver, as well as a variety of advanced backup plans.

It is not a big problem to live another seven or eight years, and it is a very high-quality life.

This is simply not possible for ordinary people.

Wealth cannot buy life, but wealth can prolong life, which is the consensus of today's medical community.

Murdoch and Lei Shidong are both seventy or eighty years old, and according to normal people's logic, they should have retired a long time ago. Because at this age, people are old and faint, and they are unable to control the company at all. There are also many world-class tycoons, such as Li Superman and Warren Buffett, who are nearly ninety years old and can still maintain their shrewdness and business sensitivity, it is unimaginable that there must be medical assistance behind them.

Don is still very young and in excellent physical condition, and does not need external medical means to maintain his vitality and energy.

However, everyone gets old one day.

really waited for that day, just like Murdoch and Lei Shidong, there is no longer much meaning in having more money and less money, prolonging life and living longer is the pursuit.

Don took a deep breath, his eyes burning, "You mean...... Is this a potentially life-prolonging medical project?"

Lei Shidong nodded solemnly, "Due to lack of funds, at present, this project is still in the testing stage of cell tissue, and has not entered the real drug research and development. I don't know the specific principle, but the general idea is that human beings will have billions of cell divisions in their lifetime, and while maintaining the normal operation of the body, various problems will continue to arise. When cellular problems accumulate to a certain extent, the body will not be able to repair the damage, and eventually fail. Professor Sinclair's research has found that there is an enzyme in the human body, and its concentration affects the aging of cells. A decrease in concentration accelerates cell senescence, while a stable concentration maintains normal cell function. If this enzyme is made into a drug and kept stable, it can greatly delay the aging of human beings......!

"Or even what?"

"Even humans may live to be 150 years old!"

Don was dumbfounded.

Oh, my God!

With today's medical technology, as long as the financial resources are sufficient, there are no serious behaviors that harm the body such as poison and alcohol, and it is not a dream to live to be 90 or 100 years old.

But 150 years old is too exaggerated.

It's really against the sky!

When Don reaches the age of 150...... That would be 100 years later.

At that time, science and technology will be further developed, and the level of medical care will be further improved, maybe eternal life will not be a fantasy!

"Is this true?"

Donn's heart was pounding, and it was unbelievable.

This is a bit of a mystery.

When talking about this topic, he, like Murdoch and Lei Shidong, completely forgot the conflicts that have occurred in the past few years.

When it comes to prolonging life, there is a very common goal.

Lei Shidong shook his head, "I don't know!"

Don couldn't help but laugh, "I don't know?"

Murdoch said: "I really don't know, this kind of thing...... After all, it was too shocking. None of us understand medicine, but I've consulted a lot of MDs, and some are for it, some are against it, and there are different opinions. ”

Don took a deep breath and muttered, "It's really amazing. ”

"yes, to this day, I can't believe it. Lei Shidong echoed, "Tang En, you still have to make an idea about this matter." ”

"Huh, me?" Don was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"The results of the survey show that in the United States, the development of a new drug takes 10 to 15 years and costs an average of $500 million. If it's this miracle medicine for slowing down aging...... I'm afraid it will be even more expensive. Moreover, it was just a research laboratory at Harvard Medical School, and it needed the support of pharmaceutical companies. ”

Yes, investing costs money.

Especially this elixir, the price must be higher.

A billion dollars may not work!

It's different from investing in other industries.

Even the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley, which is the most risky to invest in, is supported by real data and industrial scale. It's a different story when you can invest in drugs, the process is confusing, and the outcome is unpredictable. Many times, drug development fails, and you don't know where it failed.

In the United States, it takes an average of 200 pharmaceutical development projects to succeed one.

The odds are too low!

Tang En smiled bitterly: "I don't understand medical treatment either!"

Lei Shidong said: "But your vision is very good, isn't it? We have seen your performance in the past few years." I have consulted many medical experts for this project, and some people say yes and some say no, it's all nonsense. We two old guys couldn't figure out the doorway, but I felt ...... You can definitely make the best choice. ”

"Me?"

Don was in a daze.
