Chapter 496: How to Live Forever?
Why should you give the protagonist such an ordinary name with no bright spots, Lin Han just feels that the protagonist in his pen needs to be low-key and disappear every ten years, and it is obviously better to choose a name that is not easy to distinguish. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, one Wang Yong is gone, and there are thousands of Wang Yong alive, this is the most common name in China, and almost everyone has one such person around them!
As an immortal, he is obviously very knowledgeable, has enough time to study, and in the face of his friends' questions, he talks about the landscape, history, religion, biology and other aspects, everything is so reasonable.
Of course, this "reasonable" has to be put in quotation marks, and there are many problems in Lin Han's rough version that need to be rationalized in the real sense!
In his previous life, when Lin Han was watching movie reviews, many people felt that several stalks in the movie were made up casually, just a little imagination.
But Lin Han felt that they didn't really understand the movie at all, and the arguments and arguments in the movie were really not very amazing, and some of them could be said to be common sense, which was like magnifying a literary work into a rigorous scientific paper, so it could be regarded as nitpicking.
The essence of this movie lies in its rigorous system, putting the theme of immortality into the entire scientific system to be tested, human history, biology, geography, sociology, archaeology, etc., using the mouths of several scientists present to test the hypothesis of immortality, and successfully gradually demonstrated this proposition, so that the arguments and arguments of each system do not conflict, and any proposition in the movie has achieved that the audience cannot easily provide evidence that it is a false proposition.
You can not believe it, but you can't prove it to be fake!
This is the author's intention, and at the same time it is a difficult thing, "Immortality" encompasses almost all relevant scientific system conjectures, which requires a great overall view to hold!
The whole movie has almost reached the pinnacle in terms of rigorous thinking logic and design, and every time the protagonist answers a question, it will bring tremors to the audience's soul, only those who can think like this movie, and those who don't want to use their brains are only suitable for watching that kind of special effects blockbuster!
Of course, this is a movie, the rhythm of the ups and downs in the narrative is very well grasped, and the sequential release of the explosion points can slowly induce the audience's emotions from shallow to deep, so that they can concentrate on immersing themselves in the movie.
After Lin Han finished writing the simple script, he dialed the director of the Academic Affairs Department of Peking University, and asked the Academic Affairs Department to be the introducer to help him introduce the prototypes of several author's friends in the novel.
In the past, Lin Han thought that every school was an academic affairs office, but I don't know why, probably because he was rare and strange.
"Teacher Lin, did you call here for something?"
"Director Zhu, I just want to know if there are historians, religious scholars, anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists and psychologists in our school?"
Zhu Guanghao didn't expect Lin Han to come to such a show, but obviously this is not a problem, "This is Peking University, what type of expert are you looking for!"
The confidence of a century-old famous school is enough, that is, in such a place can so many experts and scholars be gathered.
Of course, Lin Han also knew this, and he said: "That's the case, I'm writing a new book, and there is quite a lot of content related to these fields, so I want to talk to professionals and learn about it, after all, the more real the better." So I'd like to ask you to introduce you to some of the professors who have been in the school office lately, and I'd like to go over and ask for advice. ”
"Well, I'll send an email to help you ask, it depends on whether they agree or not, after all, I'm embarrassed to be reluctant. Zhu Guanghao didn't amplify his words, even if he was the director of the Department of Educational Affairs, he couldn't assign these experts casually!
Lin Han obviously knew very well, he nodded and said, "Even if you can't ask for advice in person, email or phone calls are fine, I'm not in a hurry." ”
"Okay, I'll email me now. The experts in our school are all top-notch, and they can basically solve any of your doubts!"
After the two hung up the phone, Lin Han stood up from the chair, which was the most important step for him to return to the film industry, and there was no room for error.
Although "The Martian", for which he was the screenwriter, won the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival, it is not much improvement for a director, and he chose to return in the way of a low-budget sci-fi film, Lin Han wants to fight a beautiful turnaround!
……
Just when Lin Han was standing in front of the window and looking at the lawn not far away in a daze, Zhu Guanghao's phone called, this work efficiency is very good!
"Teacher Lin, I have contacted all the experts you are looking for, but some of them will only come to the school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, you can go to their department to find another expert to ask, and I will ask the secretary to send the summarized schedule and location to your mailbox. ”
Lin Han thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Director Zhu, you can be regarded as a great help to me, I will definitely thank you in person another day!"
Zhu Guanghao smiled, and he said: "It's just a trivial matter, now I'm looking forward to your new book, and I'm not in a hurry to write it slowly." ”
Lin Han is now a distinguished teacher at Peking University, and his achievements are closely related to Peking University, so Zhu Guanghao is willing to help.
With a ding, a prompt popped up in Lin Han's computer, and the office locations and time, office landlines and private mailboxes of several experts that Zhu Guanghao had helped him contact were listed, which saved a lot of trouble!
He took a picture of the form with his mobile phone, turned off the computer, locked the door again, and walked away from the office building of the Chinese Department towards the office building of the Department of Biology, and his first stop was to find a biologist, because the man happened to have no classes in the morning and was in his laboratory.
The School of Life Sciences of Peking University has a long history, which was once the result of the merger of the three universities, and ranks among the top 50 life science majors in universities around the world.
He is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Protein Engineering and Plant Genetic Engineering, the chief scientist of the 973 Project, and the current president of the National Yeast Association.
Lin Han has never been to the Life Science Building, and now it looks particularly magnificent, with gray exterior bricks consistent with the classic architectural style of Yanyuan such as the library and the Cultural and History Building, with a heavy cultural atmosphere!
The building is very spacious, there are more than 10 key laboratories and research centers and academic lecture halls, it is a large-scale comprehensive building integrating teaching and scientific research, there are many students in and out, Lin Han did not take much effort to find Professor Kong Daochun's office.
The door of the office was hidden, and Lin Han knocked lightly with his hand, waiting for the reply of the person inside.
"Please come in!"
A hearty voice came out, and only then did he push open the door and walk in, only to see that the office was filled with all kinds of materials, books, and even a DNA double helix model.
Kong Daochun looks to be in his fifties, and his Mediterranean style with thick glasses makes him a scholar.
"Hello Professor Kong, I am Lin Han who was recommended by Director Zhu. Lin Han stretched out his hand without being humble or arrogant, and he introduced his intention, "This time I am mainly here to ask you how to achieve immortality." ”
Kong Daochun took off his reading glasses, held Lin Han's hand and said, "I know you, those little guys in our laboratory have been talking about you all day long. But you have a lot of mistakes in Jurassic Park, and you have made several biological mistakes!"
It seems that Lin Han's popularity has reached such a high level that even the veteran professors who have devoted themselves to academic studies have heard of him, and even pointed out the problem bluntly.
"I think so, mainly because I didn't ask you for consultation at that time, and if you were a technical consultant, there would definitely not be such an obvious loophole. Lin Han said with a smile, he didn't want to go back.
Kong Daochun also smiled when he heard this, this young man was still a little interesting.
"DNA has a half-life of 521 years, so it's definitely useless to resurrect dinosaurs. ”
Obviously, Lin Han is not the first time to hear about this problem, but if it is according to this statement, then the entire "Jurassic Park" cannot be written, and he readily admits this mistake, just like admitting the mistake at the beginning of "The Martian", the storm on Mars can't be so strong and can't destroy the base!
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Han cut to the point, "Professor, is it possible for a person to live for 10,000 years and keep his appearance unchanged?"
"It's obviously impossible. Although theoretically we can live to be more than 100 years old, in reality most of us don't live to that age before dying of chronic poisoning. ”
Kong Daochun continued: "You must know that there will be problems with what we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. Pancreatic cells metabolize once every 24 hours, gastric parietal cells take 3 days, and the whole body needs 7 days, but this process is not stable, and the accumulation of waste will eventually lead to organ failure. ”
At this time, Lin Han raised his doubts: "What if this person's immune system is very special, which can perfectly excrete these waste products from the body and achieve cell regeneration perfectly?"
"Human death is due to the aging of cells, the decline of metabolic function. If the technology is developed to keep human cells alive and exercise the metabolic ability of cells regularly, then it can effectively inhibit cell aging and death. But if you want to live for 10,000 years, it's just as impossible!"
"Personally, I think that if you can successfully prevent the cell from dying or prolong the life of the cell, then you can prolong your life appropriately. But if this appropriateness becomes perfect, the cells are resistant to disease and have permanent activity, so immortality is theoretically feasible?" Lin Han was not an expert in biology, he just said his understanding.
Kong Fansen spread out his hands: "According to what you said, if everything is perfect, there can be no flaws, then this person can indeed live for tens of thousands of years or even longer!"
