PS: This is an update for today and tomorrow.

……

Calm was restored in the court of Sicily, which is not true, but it had always been calm, and all the storms had occurred only for a brief moment.

"I think...... I seem to have lost a little bit of quality? Ferdinand felt like he was a little lighter.

That is, Ferdinand felt that the mass was reduced by about 0.5 kilograms.

In a very short period of time, after the black hole evaporated into Hawking radiation, the excess energy disappeared, and the energy left behind - matter and energy are actually the same thing - left behind a 1 yuan soft sister coin, a message note and a Ferdinand with a reduced mass, and more than 400 grams of energy equivalent to the mass left through the occasional wormhole in the form of reflectors.

The standard 1 gram of TNT has an equivalent of 4184 joules. Since E=mc∧2, even 20 million tons of TNT equivalent energy is equivalent to only 465.5327835 grams.

……

At this thought, Ferdinand's heart suddenly became colorful, and the explosive yield of the Tunguska explosion was also about 20 million tons of TNT equivalent...... And there are no explosive fragments...... Could it be that the Tunguska explosion had something to do with him?

Looking at his body, it seemed to be a little healthier, and Ferdinand was still a little nervous.

Immortalize!

Cell immortalization!

What associations do you have?

I want to become an immortal and be happy?

Think too much!

Normal people are afraid to avoid this!

If the doctor tells you that this is happening to some of your cells, you can leave nothing else to do and go to the hospital honestly and see how the doctor can help you eliminate the looming cancer crisis! Chemotherapy or surgery, laser irradiation or "starvation of cancer cells" therapy are all used. Lucky for you, the cells were discovered by you before they became cancerous, and the little fate was saved!

Let's talk about cell immortalization, cell immortalization is actually a problem with the DNA mechanism, and cells can divide and proliferate indefinitely!

Of course, there is no imaginary beauty, it has been said that cell immortalization itself is not cancerous, but it is already a prelude to cancer, and if a series of diseases occur in the cell, it will become a cancer cell.

The morphology and structure of the human body itself are certain, cancer cells are immortal, but unlimited cancer cell division and growth will destroy people's normal body structure, organ function and life activities, squeeze out people's nutrition, and eventually people die, the whole person dies, and the so-called immortal cancer cells will pull themselves into the bottomless abyss!

But, in fact, immortalization itself reflects a problem with human genes - not a defect in the physiological structure itself, but a fundamental "idea" difference between people and their own genes.

Why do people die? Under any conditions?

Because the telomeres of genes have limited the number of cell divisions - 50 generations, a full number of times, and the end of life.

The genes of cancer cells (immortalized cells that have not yet become cancer cells) destroy the setting to stop division and apoptosis, that is, remove the death switch in the gene that "let you die, you deserve to die". In addition, the abnormal movement of telomerase causes their telomeres to grow indefinitely.

Why is there a definite number of cell divisions? A person's life can only go to 50 generations, can't there be more?

There can be many reasons why scientific research is advancing all the time. But fundamentally, I am afraid that it is a conflict of "ideas".

Since ancient times, what has the meaning of life been thought by genes? Growth, development, metabolism, life activities, reproduction, continuation of new life, genetic species and genes, this is what life is all about.

When a person reaches the age of seventy or eighty, his children and grandchildren are full, and the mission of life (genetically speaking) has been accomplished! So, what are you doing with TMD still alive? Is food a waste of food? Give me death! What's the point of you continuing to live? Rest in peace! Moreover, if you don't die, he doesn't die, how can there be enough food?

The "idea" of genes is so naked.

But we are "human beings", creatures with independent consciousness and advanced intelligence!

You ask me, why haven't you died at the age of eighty? You still want to live, what's the point?

Man: "The meaning of life...... Isn't TMD just alive! Isn't it good to be alive! Is it wrong that I just don't want to die? ”

Gene: "You don't die, he doesn't die, everyone doesn't die, what do you eat?" How do species perpetuate? ”

Person: "What does this TMD have to do with you?" The only death through the ages! If technology can overcome death, are you afraid that there will not be enough food to eat? As for the survival and continuation of human beings, if everyone has to ask for the consciousness of dying early for human beings, do you think the continuation of human beings is still a problem? ”

(That's right, TMD is the remark that complaining about some people living too long will harm society)

To some extent, cancer cells have the same "philosophy" as humans – under the right conditions, cancer cells can multiply indefinitely and become "immortal" immortal cells – such as cancer cell lines cultured in vitro. However, it kills the person itself......

Immortalized cells are not cancer cells, they are cells that are at risk of becoming cancerous or on the eve of cancer. If the primary cells are immortalized, the situation is a little more optimistic, and if there is no further lesion, it will not become cancer cells.

Theoretically, if the cells of the human body are immortalized in a highly organized manner, the places that should be immortalized will be immortalized, and the places that should not be immortalized should not be immortalized, for example, one or several brain cells will be immortalized, and new cells will be used to fill the decaying part...... But only theoretically! In fact, such a thing is the beginning of brain cell cancer!

However, under the quantum effect, it is possible to achieve it, after all, its probability is not zero! For the universe, whether a person's cells are specifically and organically immortalized, or whether they become terminally ill with cancer, is nothing more than a stack of elementary particles for it, and has no special significance......

"Alas, it always feels a little unreliable." Ferdinand was still a little nervous. "This cell is immortalized...... Now it is the gift of eternal life, and if you don't pay attention to the occurrence of cancer-causing lesions, it is not cancer......" As for the note, the so-called Cullen 1911, he didn't care, he was a staunch materialist, no one could resist the laws of physics, and the universe could write whatever it wanted! Even if someone on a certain planet really wrote a novel that happened to match his experience, then the content of that novel did not violate the laws of physics, and it did not affect the possibility of his real existence. The so-called author should also understand that his protagonist may really exist in this universe......

The most important thing about this note and that soft girl coin was, in Ferdinand's view, proof that something had just happened, and not an illusion or a pipe dream......

My world is not a dream. This was Ferdinand's belief. He didn't think he would wake up in a city hospital one morning.

"Forget it, take one step at a time, how good it is to live...... Ferdinand no longer thinks about it, this is a good thing, at least for now, at least, the Battle of Lepanto can be seen by itself, but not necessarily - at that time, was Ottoman Turkey still qualified to be Spain's opponent?

……

"Yes, let's act cautiously, take one step at a time to see how good it is to live......"

Who's talking here?

Oh, it was some unlucky explorer, who had just been almost bitten by a snake on a tree branch, but fortunately he was thrown down on the woodland by his companions, and rolled several times on the moss, fallen leaves and humus, and the fallen leaves and dirt covered the body, it was really the breath of nature, the freshness of the forest, the fragrance of the earth, the opening is the avenue, and the place of action is nature......

Ahem, this is the hard-working Cologne detachment, they are looking for tomatoes and potatoes...... You say a huge rainforest, let you find two kinds of wild plants or (or?) Crops, isn't this a problem? However, this order was issued by His Majesty the King, and you have to jump into the pit......

……

Well, Ferdinand knew that it was a trick, so Ferdinand didn't let them scurry around like headless flies, he also left detailed graphic information about potatoes and tomatoes.

Still, the task was not easy, but the Spanish expedition was about to set off anyway.

However, this time, the Spanish expedition still did not directly cross the Darién graben, after all, there was really no need to make such a life-threatening show when there was a shortcut. The shortest passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Coast, Cologne, and later Panama City, can now travel between the two oceans in just seven days, and the rainforest environment is (relatively) friendly to the indigenous population.

The current survey plan is to first reach the location of Panama City on the Pacific coast of the Pacific Ocean, and then zigzag east along the coastline of the Gulf of Panama to San Miguel Bay on the west coast of the Darién Trench. The Bay of San Miguel is rich in pearls, and the last time Ferdinand first explored Panama and the Pacific Ocean, the Spanish expedition was here, and the original timeline of Balboa in 1513 was directly from the stronghold of Santa Maria Antigua on the Caribbean coast, crossing the entire Darién Graben, and stepping into the waters of the Pacific Ocean for the first time in the Bay of San Miguel.

From here, the team will then head northeast against Balboa's route into the wooded terrain on the western side of the Darién Graben, where there are many tribes of indigenous Indians who can easily ask the local Indians directly about these crops - in fact, the main opportunity to find potatoes is not in the wild, but in the Indian tribes that grow potatoes. If these tribes happen to grow potatoes and tomatoes, then you're done.

If not, we have to cross the Darién Graben to see if the Indian villages of the central part of the country and the primitive Indians of the eastern part of the Darien Graben are planted – if not, we can only hope that wild plants of these crops can be found in the woodlands along the way, which is of course more difficult and less likely......

On August 1st, the team officially set off. After a seven-day trek, they reached the Pacific coast, where Ferdinand had previously arrived. Head towards San Miguel Bay. On August 15, the Cologne detachment arrived in the Bay of San Miguel.

On August 17, the Cologne detachment ascended to the western plateau of the isthmus, an open area on the edge of the Darien graben.

……

It's worth mentioning! This time, there is a "Robinson" in the team, and he is 20-year-old Balboa. Originally, he would have discovered the Pacific Ocean in 13 years, but now in the timeline, he joined the troops on the New World five years ahead of history, and instead of Hispaniola, he came to his destined place, Panama.

Balboa walked at the front of the group, and suddenly, his pupils narrowed.

There are hundreds of Indian warriors ahead!

And the comers are not good!

……

Diego grabbed the Mushtec arquebus in his hand.

It's not the first time that the character of Diego has appeared.

If you remember the previous paragraph, you will remember this unlucky guy who was almost killed by a jaguar on the way through the Panamanian rainforest led by Ferdinand in seven days.

Hmmm⊙?⊙! , didn't he, go back to Andalusia?

Although this fellow suffered greatly in Panama, he could not extinguish the fire of exploration that burned in his heart, so in July 1495, he joined the reinforcements of the New World and returned. - This is more like Robinson than Balboa, and he still moves forward despite the hardships.

His full name is Diego de Almagro.

This is the partner who went on an expedition to Peru with Pizarro. He was later appointed governor of the region south of Peru by Charles V.

He and Pizarro were originally friends, but quarrels and battles ensued, and armed conflict continued around the city of Cusco until both of them died (in the middle of which Emperor Charles V may have sowed discord with his divide-and-rule strategy, as evidenced by the division of the two of them).

He is also 20 years old this year. The same age as Balboa.

Two years ago, I was young and didn't play well, which made everyone laugh, which is really ashamed.

……

The Spaniards lined up in several deep columns, the spearmen were on standby, and the musketeers were ready to shoot.

192 people, not lined up in a Spanish phalanx, only barely enough for a company (the Reclamation Corps has mastered this combat system, as mentioned above), so it can only be arranged in a small rectangular array, but it is enough to deal with the guys on the opposite side.

Indian warriors rushed over.

Gunshots rang out. The spear's combat piercing is also not far behind. There was also the sound of arrows cutting through the air.

Diego was narrowly grazed by an arrow over his left shoulder, and it was a fluke.

Troubles and dangers always haunted him.

The bayonet stabbed forward so hard that Diego stabbed an Indian warrior in the abdomen, blood splattering out and onto his armor and clothes.

This was the end of the white-knuckle battle, and the battlefield was littered with the corpses of the Indians.

The chief was captured, and he was brought back to his tribe with trepidation. The Spaniards pointed their bayonets at him and asked him for gold as well as ...... A crop.

The chief took them to identify.

A target has been found in the land of a block!

Diego stroked one of the plants and looked at it for a while, the typical thick tuberly root, where is the fat edible part that His Majesty said? Yes, the plants in front of me look almost exactly the same as His Majesty's sketches (Ferdinand: "My sketches are amazing......").

At this time, on the other side of the border of the chieftains, at the junction of woodland and mire, Balboa also found a wild plant with bright red fruits.

This is the annual herbaceous tomato, the tomato, which is herald from the Peruvian tomato group to the north.
