Chapter 277: When the Lifespan Is Extended

In order to start genetic research, Jiang Yuan had to return to Huaguo, and Haishenwei's problem could only wait for follow-up feedback from engineers.

However, there is no need to worry too much about anything, with the full participation of CNOOC and the 10,000-meter mining technology provided by Jiangyuan, even if there is a problem, it will be solved quickly.

It really can't be solved, and Jiang Yuan can help in Huaguo.

Yes, CNOOC joined, and it was almost free of charge, except for the cost of manpower and materials for Shensi Group, there were not many additional requirements at all.

As for the amount of crude oil that Jiang Yuan was most worried about, he didn't mention it at all.

The boss of CNOOC personally called and chatted with Jiang Yuan for a long time, and his words were completely selfless and dedicated, as if he was not angry at all for Jiang Yuan seizing the interests of CNOOC.

It's just that before he finally hung up the phone, he mentioned the research of regenerative genes, wishing Jiang Yuan success as soon as possible, so that Jiang Yuan understood the purpose of the other party.

"Sure enough, immortality is the most touching temptation!" Jiang Yuan sighed.

It's the tail of winter now, and the temperature in Qianwan City is much more comfortable than that of Haishenwei, at least you don't have to wear two layers of down to dare to go out, and you don't have to worry about DT1 quickly turning into bricks in the cold air.

After experiencing the bone-chilling coldness of the deep sea, Jiang Yuan, who returned to Qianwan, felt as if he had been reborn.

Li Qingyu smiled and said:

"Of course, in history, every person in power who has spare power has their greatest pursuit of immortality. After the hope of immortality, they hoped to continue to enjoy the pleasures of the world after death, and the huge and luxurious imperial tomb was just the result of retreating. How sure are you this time?"

Li Qingyu was also curious.

"First of all, immortality is impossible, because I have no way to solve the problem of rebuilding the human brain for the time being, so the human brain is the shortest board of the super topic of immortality. It should not be difficult to exclude the regeneration of most organs behind the human brain, once I have achieved the regeneration of skin and cartilage, the subsequent research process can be accelerated, and there is no essential difference between different tissues and organs, it is nothing more than more work. Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, calculated his skill CD situation and the subsequent research and development requirements, and then said:

"I think we can see a breakthrough in a year, and the joints, hearts, limbs, and vital organs will be rebuilt one after another.......

The more Jiang Yuan studied the regeneration of tissues and organs and the detailed explanation of genetic mapping, the more he admired the theoretical inventor of the 'nerve regeneration agent'.

It is easy to regenerate one skin in the designated area, but it is difficult to regenerate the skin of the whole body, which requires the complex cooperation of multiple gene switches.

At the same time, the skin of each part is different, some parts are smooth, and some parts are wrinkled, so different pluripotent stem cell differentiation control techniques are required.

If the regenerated skin on the top of the head does not have hair follicles and cannot grow hair, it is obviously unacceptable.

Of course, Jiang Yuan doesn't have to stick to the old rules, maybe expanding this technology can get better results.

For example, if some of a woman's skin that should have long hair no longer grows, and it is as smooth and white as milk, Jiang Yuan thinks that men will be happy to pay for it.

This technology can be taken out as an independent beauty project on its own, and then given a lofty name, such as Gene Mirror hair removal technology, it will definitely make a lot of money, and it can effectively reduce men's wariness of genetic technology.

In addition, the use of facial skin rejuvenation technology to regenerate perfect, smooth, fair, and delicate facial skin convinces women.

In this way, the genetic technology that is marketed in the shell of beauty will have much less resistance.

Jiang Yuan took it in and concluded:

"In conclusion, I estimate that the human lifespan will be able to increase to about 180-200 years, which is almost the limit of the human brain. After the popularization of regeneration technology, most elderly people will face a situation that is rare now, that is, the body is very healthy, but the brain has been completely confused. Of course, I may solve the problem of the brain not being able to regenerate in the future, and once it happens, it will really be immortal. ”

"200 years old!" Li Qingyu couldn't help but reverie.

According to the current concept, 80 years old is dying, if the upper limit of 200 years old, 80 years old is still young and middle-aged!

In fact, longevity is not unimaginable, with the development of science and technology, the upper limit of human life expectancy is rapidly increasing.

According to the ancient Chinese saying, life is rare for seventy years.

What now?

Eighty-somethings are everywhere, nineties are not new, and living to be over 100 can only be mentioned a little by the local news.

You must know that the elderly who live to be more than 100 years old before passing away, in fact, most of their lives were spent in the past when the scientific and technological conditions were not very developed, and their bodies were far less congenital than the current people, and they received more care.

When the post-80s and 90s people in China grow old, 100 years old will definitely not be news, just a normal number.

Not surprisingly, it is estimated that many people of the post-80s and 90s generation of Huaguo can see the Spring Festival in 2100.

Of course, if other scientists say that they want to increase the life expectancy of human beings to 200 years old, it is estimated that Li Qingyu is just wishful thinking, but Jiang Yuan's words......

Li Qingyu had to consider this matter as a very likely future.

Rapid growth in life expectancy is not all good for society.

The foundation of modern society is built on the upper limit of human lifespan, and as the upper limit of life expectancy increases, countless social problems and even moral problems will appear.

Take, for example, the population explosion that is easy to think of.

For example, the political system has also been greatly affected.

Generally speaking, politicians do not begin to mature until around the age of 35, and 40-60 is their golden age.

Therefore, most leadership positions are rotated for about 5 years, and a head of state usually serves for less than 10 years.

The reason is this, it is not that their ability is not good, but that people are old, their life span is coming to an end, their energy is declining, and they have more than enough energy to do it.

What now?

Is it good to be young or middle-aged at 80?

If you are a civil servant, enter a unit, work hard for 15 years, and climb to the deputy department level at the age of 40, it will be difficult to move up to the next level, and you must wait for a vacancy in a department-level post.

According to the past, waiting for 5-10 years can always wait for a lot of opportunities, because the directors of the unit are not young, and sooner or later they will retire.

What now?

The directors have said that they are still young and can work for another 100 years!

How else do you climb?

What would you think?

It is not difficult to imagine what can happen when the road to promotion of a national official is blocked, and history has shown us countless times.

Of course, there are benefits, such as China's housing prices will continue to soar, the aging problem will be solved, and the demographic dividend can be eaten for another 100 years!

As a result, GDP growth of 20% per year is just around the corner!

However, the aging plaster flag country will also be in despair, which is a trivial flaw.

It's too complicated!

She felt a pain in her head when she thought about it:

"No wonder it's so positive. ”
