Chapter 8 Underground Laboratories
After the car drove out for a while, Yun Shu said a little dazedly: "Doctor Lin seems to be surprised to see me. ”
Ji Rong smiled: "Don't care about other people's opinions. ”
"Hmm." Yun Shu smiled in return.
Within a few minutes, the car was parked in the yard.
"It's home." Ji Rong said towards Yun Shu.
Go inside.
"This is where I live, you can take a look, there's a study downstairs, and we'll spend most of our time there."
Yun Shu nodded, she looked at the time: "It's noon now, I'll cook first." ”
"You know how to cook?" Ji Rong was a little surprised.
Yun Shu smiled: "My cooking is delicious, Professor will taste it later." He turned around and went into the kitchen.
She was very fast, and she found the ingredients from the refrigerator, but in ten minutes, she brought out three dishes and one soup, which looked like it was full of color, flavor, and taste.
She does cook deliciously, Ji Rong hasn't eaten so happily for a long time.
Yun Shu sat across from him, and she also served rice and ate it slowly.
Ji Rong was a little puzzled: "Do you need to eat too?" ”
"My body is the same as yours, and of course I need to eat." There was a faint smile on her fair face, like a cloud, gentle, soft, gentle and quiet,
Ji Rong suddenly understood, although he had lived here for so long, he was still used to the way of thinking in his previous life. In today's era, medical treatment and intelligence are highly combined, and I am afraid that except for the brain, everything else is a real body structure.
Ji Rong didn't know if such a conversation would make Yun Shu feel hurt, but he still apologized: "I'm sorry." ”
Yun Shu was slightly stunned, she was a little confused why the man opposite apologized, and after a while, she realized it in a trance.
Could it be that the man on the other side was afraid that her dignity would be hurt? She thought it was a little incredible.
In her subconscious, she was really just an appendage to him.
Yun Shu didn't speak, and finished the meal silently.
Ji Rong habitually wanted to clean up the table, Yun Shu hurriedly said, "Professor, I'll come." ”
Ji Rong was still a little unaccustomed to it, he paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll help you." ”
Yun Shu put the tableware in the dishwasher, Ji Rong wiped the table, turned on the dust removal button, and the whole house was cleaned in an instant.
"Do you want to rest for a while? Or can we go to the den now? Ji Rong asked for her opinion.
Although it was a polite inquiry, Yun Shu could feel his urgency and replied, "No need to rest, go to the study." ”
Ji Rong led her downstairs, and the wooden staircase made a clattering sound.
This is the first time Yun Shu has stood in this study. She looked around, and the study was large, almost stuffed with books. On the huge desk were several heavy books, some open, some with papers, seemingly note-taking, some backward.
Ji Rong didn't go to the bookshelf to pick up the book, but walked to the desk, opened the book in his hand, the page was folded, he smoothed it with his hand, and introduced to Yun Shu: "The research I am currently doing is how to minimize the damage of frozen people in the process of warming and resurrecting, and how to preserve memories in case of irreparable damage." ”
Yun Shu walked up to him: "Judging from the current technology, it is possible to minimize the damage of the freezing process through guò antifreeze, but so far, there has been no case of successful resurrection. When the body is frozen to minus 196 degrees Celsius, it becomes extremely crunchy. The brain, with up to 100 billion neurons and 10,000 neural connections, is sensitive to both heating and cooling. ”
Ji Rong nodded, his expression becoming solemn: "I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and I've done a lot of practical things. At minus 20 degrees Celsius, single cells go into a vitrified state, but as the temperature rises, these cells come back to life. Although the body will have different degrees of damage during the warming process, molecular repair technology can effectively repair the damaged physiological structure. As long as you can wake up, you can use guò gene therapy to slowly regulate your damaged body. The genetic code is universal to all organisms and is not limited by the species of the organism. It is possible to extract the relevant genes of other species and transplant them into human cells, so that the human body has stronger vitality. As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the real yàn room and motioned for Yun Shu to come in.
Yun Shu glanced around the room in surprise, but was quickly attracted by the petri dish on the table, she picked it up and carefully distinguished, it was almost invisible to the naked eye: "Ah, this is a tardigrade. ”
Ji Rong smiled: "Your eyesight is very good." ”
"You actually bred tardigrades? This creature is very difficult to breed in the real yàn room. Her expression was focused and vivid, and her fair face glowed with a soft light, exuding an illusory beauty.
Ji Rong didn't explain her problem, but said, "This way, you don't have to spend time going out to re-harvest seeds." After a pause, he continued, "I studied a lot of species and finally settled on tardigrades. Water bears can withstand temperatures as low as minus 273 degrees Celsius and minus 151 degrees Celsius, can withstand six times the pressure of the deepest seafloor, can withstand radiation doses hundreds of times that of humans, and have all four types of cryptogenicity. Among them, low-temperature cryptophytic, first frozen and then thawed and revived, will not cause damage to the body, can live in seclusion for 120 years, and its genome is also very compact. ”
Yun Shu agreed: "Tardigrades are indeed the most vigorous species in the world. ”
"What we need to do now is to find the corresponding genes and try them out over and over again." Ji Rong said as he took the tools.
And Yun Shu seems to have cooperated with him for many years, very tacitly.
It wasn't until the hour hand passed twelve o'clock that Ji Rong raised his head from the real yàn and glanced at Yun Shu: "You go and rest first, I'll tidy up here and continue tomorrow." ”
Yun Shu nodded and walked out of the real room.
Ji Rong once again perfected the real yàn notes, and after finishing the real yàn platform, he returned to the first floor.
