After a busy day, on the first moment of returning to the hotel, Alice jumped onto the bed and immediately twisted herself like a soybean worm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oops~I'm tired to death~!"

Look at this posture, the girl's slender waist is twisted in both directions at the same time, the upper body is facing the left, the lower body is facing the right, and even the neck is turning around. Then, when James walked into the room with a smile, Alice immediately turned her body around again, with her upper body facing to the right and her lower body facing to the left, and at the same time, her whole body turned over for a week, from her back to her stomach.

"Oops~But I'm tired to death~"

"After a day of meetings with the staff, you were tired like this?"

James put his daughter's bag at the door, and took off his leather coat at the same time, but he didn't hang it on the door of his daughter's bedroom: "Your father and I have to attend at least three classes a day, two hundred and seventy minutes, and basically stand up the whole time, isn't it much more tired than you?" ”

"Well, that's exactly what I said."

Saying this, Alice's body did not stop moving, she continued to hum and roll on the bed, and by the way, she also covered her head under the pillow: "But Dad, this is my room, when girls are lying on the bed, men have to avoid it!" ”

James hung the leather coat on his arm, saw that his daughter was going to bury her neck under the pillow, shook her head and smiled: "Quietly the way you are now, if you have a boyfriend one day, don't let him see this scene casually, otherwise it will ruin the image too much." ”

Alice stopped humming, lifted her head from under the pillow, and pressed it on the pillow again: "I don't want a boyfriend, dad is not allowed to talk nonsense, go out, go out, there is something to do tomorrow." ”

Seeing that it was getting late, it was indeed inconvenient for James to stay in his daughter's room anymore, but before going out, he didn't forget to leave a sentence: "What time do you get up tomorrow?" Where are we going to eat? ”

"The Imperial City Temple is very distinctive, but it is really expensive...... Or just find a restaurant with Shanghai cuisine that is particularly good, and this is also Nanjing Road. ”

Tomorrow morning's action was quickly decided, and when James closed the bedroom door, Alice was still lying on the bed, too lazy to move for a moment.

"Hmmm......"

It was a full half minute before she let out a leisurely moan: "I'm tired to death......"

As she spoke, the girl rolling on the sheets twisted her body again, her limbs spread out in a large shape, and her slender waist twisted again: "Oops~ The plane sits, the car sits, the office chair that has been done all day ~ My old waist ~ Hey, hey~ It's so comfortable~"

In this way, when her waist was twisted on the left and right, and she had completed several twisted shapes, Alice sat up from the bed and did not forget to wipe her tears. This time he stretched out his waist, and his eyes were watery.

But then, instead of rushing to wash up like an ordinary girl, she stepped on the wooden floor with her socks and came to the bed first, forgetting about the night scene that was slightly chilling outside.

Well, it's back in Shanghai.

In fact, even in her previous life, Alice had only been to Shanghai once, and that was when she had just graduated from high school in her previous life, and it was more than 20 years ago when she was converted into this modern life.

However, although she does not have much affection for the city itself, and the widely circulated comments such as the so-called "delicate temper of Shanghainese" have spread all over the Internet, and it is easy to give people a bad feeling. But having come to the city twice in this life, Alice is naturally in an extraordinary mood.

First of all, there is no doubt that it is the heart of a wanderer who was born and raised in the United States for more than ten years and suddenly returned to his hometown. This is particularly evident in James, when Alice asks to go to Shanghai again, he immediately calls his grandparents and asks if they want to go back to their home country.

So at this moment, looking at the Xuhui District of Shanghai at night, this central area of the city that has not yet become an international metropolis in the 21st century, but will become extremely prosperous, a different kind of emotions are constantly surging in Alice's heart.

Even before landing at Hongqiao Airport, she hadn't thought about it carefully, but now looking at the bustling night scene outside, an inevitable fact was constantly circling in her mind.

Grandpa and grandma are old.

It was a big rock that weighed heavily on Alice's heart.

Just like this trip between the father and daughter, the reason why the grandparents couldn't leave in the end was because they were troubled by the wind and cold. And Shanghai in February is not as warm as Hainan, Guangdong, under the premise of no heating, there is still the problem of "water and soil adaptation", if you really rush over, maybe something will really happen.

Alice herself was born in 1972, James and Sophie were born in 1942 and 1945, and are now in their early forties. And grandparents, there is no doubt that their family is the first generation of immigrants in the United States, and they are now in their seventies.

Even if they live as long as Bush Sr., their grandparents will simply delay their death until around 2000, although they are already in their nineties, but it is still not what Alice wants to see.

The prosperity and development of a country is difficult to rely on individual strength to promote on a large scale, although Alice can now enter the Chinese market with large capital to promote the development of the garment industry, but a whole trillion-level GDP promotion, after all, it is necessary to rely on current events to promote.

Therefore, for her, who has always focused on the 21st century, time is running out.

If you can't let your grandparents watch their hometown become the world's second largest economy, launch 12 high-precision destroyers for four consecutive years, and quickly realize the formation of aircraft carrier formations, they are really blind to their own highly developed head.

If she really wanted to delve into the technology seriously, Alice knew how efficient she would be, and apart from the cost of hardware, it was not much more difficult than she was to write a Windows operating system. It's just that she has a specialization in art, and her life is so wonderful, unless there is some special reason, otherwise, of course, she is not happy to lock herself in a miserable laboratory.

But if it's to increase the life expectancy of grandparents, maternal grandparents, and even James and Sophie, it's a lot of motivation.

So at this time, while looking at the charming night Shanghai scenery outside the window, her brain hole also started again.

"Prolonging life mainly lies in repairing genetic defects, which requires the large-scale development of biochemical technology."

Seemingly elusive technology. Actually, Alice really has some ideas.

As far as she knows, not long after the London Olympics in the previous life, scientists in the United States micro-tweaked the two genetic pathways of a certain worm in the laboratory, Caenorhabditis elegans, to increase the lifespan of this animal by five times.

Five times as much.

For humans, that's the difference between a hundred and five hundred years old.

One hundred years old and five hundred years old, what kind of concept is this?

Most of the long-lived people who lived for a long time, even if they could live to be more than 100 years old, would eventually reflect their old age around the age of 60, and longevity was only an extension of old age. But if any scientist can extend the lifespan of the entire "human race" by five times by means of genetic pathway adjustments, it will be an equivalent five times longer!

The old state of sixty years old can only be reflected at least at the age of 300!

Of course, this is true in theory, but it is just a beautiful idea. Just like an antimatter reactor, no matter how much science fiction enthusiasts boast of its power, they have to be able to build and preserve antimatter first, right?

Making and preserving antimatter is a difficult task, and the investment in the construction of any physics laboratory is not a small amount, so for such high-level research, Alice does not have the brain, but also the cost. Obediently receiving the certificate of a national researcher and running to a national laboratory to make contributions is not her style.

But to study the genetic pathways of worms, it is much cheaper.

Even elementary school students know that the genetic differences between different species are not as huge as they think, and of course, that is for elementary school students in the 21st century.

According to the sequencing of human genes completed by scientists from six countries in 2001, the number of human genes is only about 26,000 to 40,000, and if you take the median value, it is only about 30,000 genes.

Flies have 14,000 genes, roundworms have 20,000, and even the plant Arabian mustard has 25,000 genes. Compared to mice, humans only have 300 more genes.

As for the difference with gorillas, it's only two percent.

So the question arises: Is the gene that increases the life of worms fivefold also present in humans?

Don't say that this probability itself is very high, and even if it doesn't, can't it be studied by biochemical experiments?

Just avoid "Resident Evil".

So, for Alice, it is not difficult to achieve an increase in human lifespan, as long as she is willing to use the energy to learn computer knowledge as a child and compile windows and routers in order to make a fortune.

Well, yes, smart people tend to be lazy too. The benefits of taking a stake in Microsoft and founding Cisco are obvious, and studying the mysterious virus in Caesar's body is obviously not a priority, so Alice throws her Eaton mentor into a 10,000-year pit with a flick of her hand.

But if it is for the purpose of increasing the life expectancy of grandparents, to study worm genes, that motivation is "leveraged".

"Well, it looks like there's going to cost money again."

In this way, after staying in front of the window for a long time, Alice finally came to this conclusion: "But I have to wait until I go back, I still have big business in Shenzhen waiting for it." ”

After speaking, she jumped on her legs, jumped directly on the spot two meters away, turned one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, and planted herself face down on the sheets. (To be continued.) )
