Chapter 321: Immortality

After the 1 billion funds reached the account, Chang Sheng first embezzled part of it and hit the account of the United States Customs to redeem several employees of his company.

However, because the United States was sniping at the yuan, Chang Shengtong guò third-party currency exchange transfer was able to send the money over, but it took an extra 400,000 yuan and 2 million yuan to bail out several employees.

Changsheng's own foreign trade company also declared bankruptcy after the cancellation of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Of the more than 100 employees in the company, Chang Sheng paid each of them an extra three months' salary, and then laid off.

Changsheng's company was originally running very well, and the welfare of the employees was also very good, often organizing some tours, sending duì and other activities, the boss had nothing to say to the employees, and there were fewer job hops and resignations. But when this happened, the bosses could not protect themselves, and they naturally suffered and lost their jobs.

But in the field of foreign trade, now because of the H rice trade war, various trading companies have laid off employees, and it is even more difficult for unemployed people to find jobs again.

Suddenly, I heard that Chang Sheng opened a new company and bought a factory, which seemed to be in the pharmaceutical industry, and some employees of his original company made a few calls to Chang Sheng and asked: "Mr. Chang, do you still need people in your new company?" If I can do the job, I'd like to try it. ”

Everyone is a person with a wife, son and daughter, and the pressure of life is already great, plus a mortgage and car loan, one month's salary is less, and life is tight, not to mention that in this situation where it is difficult to find a job, many employees of the original company said: "Even if the salary is less, I am willing to do it." ”

At the beginning, Chang Sheng only needed people in finance and personnel, and these people came to do the essential work. There were dozens of them in the back, these people were not easy to arrange, Chang Sheng finally let them go on the assembly line, followed a few masters to learn, and did the work of maintaining the assembly line machine.

That's it. Of the original company's 100 or so people, more than 50 have re-entered the pharmaceutical production company called "Shengsheng", which is in full bloom.

"Chang, when did the boss say he would come back? I'm dying. Bai Yuanhang pulled Chang Sheng and asked.

I haven't seen the boss for almost half a month, and they are almost ready for the work to prepare, Bai Yuanhang still has a heavy dà to find that the boss is not coming, and he is anxious.

"Lao Bai, the boss said he would be back soon. Just today. ”

Speaking this kung fu, I took a taxi in the morning, and this is coming.

Chang Shengbai Yuanhang and the two immediately greeted them, changed into dustproof clothes, and took Tianming into the real room of the Institute of Biotechnology.

"Lao Bai, what do you have to discover?" Standing in front of the high-powered microscope on the workbench, Tianming asked.

"Boss, take a look at the microbes in this microscope first." Bai Yuanhang gestured.

Tianming put his eyes up, inside the microscope. I saw some red cells, which were slowly wriggling, round and flat, a little like the red blood cells in the human body.

"It's just a few red cells. I didn't see anything heavy to find. Tianming knew that these red blood cells should be the microscopic components of red tree blood, but he didn't know why Bai Yuanhang was so excited.

"Boss, this kind of cell is an immortal cell that will not age and die!"

Bai Yuanhang looked excited and danced: "After these days of observation. I found that none of the red blood cells in this red tree blood were in a state of aging or death. And that's not all. Using the half-life algorithm of some decay elements, it is found that the survival cycle of this kind of cell is generally more than 800 years, and the lifespan of individual cells even exceeds 10,000 years, which is an extremely shocking discovery! ”

"Wait, how do you calculate the lifespan of such a cell? Cells don't seem to have a lifespan, right? Tianming was taken aback at first, and then asked his question.

Generally speaking, cells only have a division cycle: a cell grows from small to large, and then divides into two, which is called the division cycle.

For example, the lifespan of red blood cells in the human body is about 120 days, and the lifespan of white blood cells is 7-14 days, which is very short.

"Boss, you may not know much about the internal structure of this kind of cell, the DNA of this kind of cell is also a three-strand structure, and on each strand, there are two rows of base chains, and these two rows of base chains can be combined with the corresponding base chains on the other two gene chains. Therefore, a gene chain also contains complete genetic information. When cells divide and proliferate, they will divide into three, one cell, and can become three at a time.

The three-strand structure is relatively stable and the molecular formula is quite large, but the DNA of this cell will only divide a limited number of times, and most of the time, it will remain in a state of non-division. In this state, the cytoplasm in the cell may change, but the DNA does not, and we can easily calculate the lifespan of such a cell by comparing the C14 content of the cytoplasm with the DNA......

The reason why this cell life is so long, we have also found. Like human cells, the ends of the DNA strand of this cell also have a telomere-like structure, and every time the DNA splits and replicates, a part of the telomere will be consumed, and the telomeric DNA length will be shortened...... I artificially cut the telomere of this piece of DNA a little shorter, and the amazing thing happened, there is a special protein molecule that can repair the shortened telomere, and finally repair it to its original state, and this has been the case for many experiments.

This is the reason why mangrove blood cells can live for 10,000 years, and this protein molecule that can repair telomeres is called the longevity factor. ”

"......" Tianming was already speechless in shock.

Before, when the active molecule that can cure all diseases was discovered, Tianming was already very surprised, and now there is a longevity factor, a longevity factor that can make cells live for 10,000 years, what does this mean?

Live forever?

Eternal youth?

That's for sure.

In fact, when Tianming had a powerful ability, he also considered that if he died in another hundred years, what would happen to the ability space? Who manages the small space? Who will inherit his property?

Is there a soul in the world?

He has thought about it these days, but he has been educated in materialism since he was a child, and even if he believes in the existence of the soul, he thinks that it is just a biological electric wave, which has left the body and will soon cease to exist.

Tianming calculated that the active molecule could extend his lifespan by 50%, which was certain. Coupled with no disease and no disaster, it should be no problem to live to be 200 years old.

But after all, it can't escape a dead word.

People are afraid of death, Tianming is no exception, coupled with the existence of supernatural powers, he also thought of several ways to make himself immortal: such as lengthening telomeres, he himself combined some telomeric DNA molecules, and then added them to telomeres, and each cell was modified once, so that the lifespan would be extended?

There are also nanomachines, and if other people's technology can't make them, it doesn't mean that he can't do it. It's not even difficult for him at all, make one, and soon you can produce a bunch of them.

Therefore, even if he does not have a longevity factor, he can modify his body cells through a variety of means to achieve the effect of immortality, but it is only a little troublesome.

Tianming quickly calmed down and asked Bai Yuanhang: "Then, Lao Bai, does this longevity factor have any effect on human cells?" ”

"Not yet," Bai Yuanhang shook his head and said with a look of regret: "The DNA structure of human cells is double-stranded, which is completely different from three-stranded DNA. However, that kind of longevity factor is of great research value, as long as we study this molecule thoroughly and create a new longevity factor, it may have immeasurable significance for the study of human longevity. ”

Tristranded DNA is much more complex than double-stranded DNA, and the longevity factor suitable for the use of three-stranded DNA is like a complex program, although it is not suitable for double-stranded DNA, but as long as it is simplified a little, and the longevity factor suitable for double-stranded DNA is studied, perhaps it will only take two or three years to achieve a major breakthrough in the field of longevity research.

Bai Yuanhang has this confidence.

"Lao Bai, you can study this slowly. Chang, where is the drug factory you bought, take me to see it right away. ”

"Okay."

Driving the car, Chang Sheng pulled Tianming to the industrial park not far from the biotechnology research center, and entered this medium-sized pharmaceutical factory covering an area of nearly 20 acres.

"This factory used to produce vitamin tablets, and there were a lot of purification equipment for purifying trace substances, and I spent 500 million yuan to buy this pharmaceutical factory with good benefits. The equipment inside, most of which is new, is very nice. ”

"Have you mastered the process of purifying active molecules?"

"Mastered, it's not very complicated, and even Lao Bai has improved this process, and the yield of active molecules can be increased by 20% compared with the old method."

The old method that Chang Sheng said was used by those doctors in the Tianming fleet, and there were only five processes: crushing, filtering, dissolving, purifying, and precipitating, which was very simple. Talent who comes back from abroad is just different.

Having 20% more active potion out of thin air is a bonus.

Tianming took out 100,000 catties of jujube and immediately put it into the production line for the production of active agents.

Three days later, Tianming returned to the base with 360,000 bottles of active medicine.
