Chapter 371: Rebirth
6th year of the new era, January 12.
The Spring Festival has just passed.
Blue Moon 1.
A Kunpeng-class transport ship arrives at port.
The spaceship transported 300 life elixirs and 100 rebirth elixirs, and as soon as the elixirs reached the Blue Moon 1 satellite city, they were picked up by the people of the Life Science Research Institute.
It is then quickly transported to the Blue Star ground.
……
Yangcheng Citizen Hospital.
300 volunteers are in their respective nursing rooms, of which 100 volunteers are young people aged 20~60, 100 are middle-aged people aged 60~90, and the remaining 100 are elderly people over 90 years old.
In particular, these elderly people are more eager for life elixirs and rebirth elixirs.
Now the biotechnology of new humans has improved a lot, but what should come will always come.
After the body reaches the age of 90, the vitality of cells, brain memory, and mental outlook are constantly declining, as if a candle in the wind is about to be extinguished.
As soon as they reach the age of 120, the imminent silence of death will surround these people like a shadow.
Many people can't bear this fear and have to choose to freeze and hibernate and then live in a virtual world.
This time, they all took the initiative to apply for the first phase of the clinical trial of the rebirth potion, and they all lived to this age, and many people have already seen life and death.
Fang Ge and Lin Sha came to Yangcheng Citizen Hospital in person.
The reason why they came here in person is mainly because many of the volunteers who participated in the first phase of the clinical trial this time have different identities.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" There was a calm sound of vicissitudes in the recuperation room.
As soon as Fang Ge wanted to unscrew the doorknob, the door opened automatically.
"Academician Fang, why are you here?" The middle-aged woman was a little surprised.
"Hello, Ms. Weng."
The middle-aged woman took Fang Ge and Lin Sha into the convalescent room together.
On the hospital bed was Academician Yang, who was dealing with the submitted papers, and he raised his head: "It turned out to be Xiao Fang and Xiao Lin, and you are also here to persuade me?"
Fang Ge nodded helplessly: "After all, this is the first clinical test, and the rebirth elixir may be risky, so you should think about it again." ”
"Haha, okay, I know you're all well-intentioned, but allow me to go crazy for once!" Academician Yang's eyes were full of curiosity for the truth.
For a man who once stood at the pinnacle of physics, the greatest pain is to watch the younger generation break new ground, but he is gradually falling behind and unable to keep up with the trend of the times.
If I had gone to see Planck, Einstein, and Bohr earlier, I might not have had this kind of trouble.
Under the storm, I survived until this new era.
As editor-in-chief of the Journal of Truth, this sense of depression deepened, not jealous of the achievements of young people, but sadness at his own inability.
In the face of the explosion of physics in the new era, he had no way to review many papers.
After hearing about the elixir of life and the elixir of rebirth, his ambition, which had been extinguished, was revived.
Rather than lingering, it is better to give it a go, because he does not want to miss this best era of science.
Fang Ge and Lin Sha were also very helpless, the unwillingness of these old scientists was difficult for them to understand.
Among the elderly group participating in the first phase of the clinical trial, there are 8 academicians and 27 senior researchers, so the two of them had to come over in person.
……
As the sun sets and the setting sun shines through the glass windows, nurses bring volunteers from the elderly group to the testing area with nursing robots.
Unlike the youth group and the middle-aged group, the youth group and the middle-aged group only need to be injected with life medicine.
The elderly group needs to be injected with life potions and rebirth potions, so they need to enter the life support pod.
An elderly volunteer enters the life support cabin, and the life support liquid quickly soaks their bodies.
"Chairman, you're ready." The person in charge of the hospital said with some nervousness.
"Let's get started!" Fang Ge can only respect the choice of the volunteers.
The person in charge of the hospital kept praying in his heart that nothing would happen, and when he thought of so many academicians and senior researchers, he panicked.
The life agent was first injected into the volunteers, and there were also a large number of auxiliary drugs and nutrient solutions, which were mainly used to reduce drug resistance.
According to animal experiments, it is estimated that after suppressing drug resistance, "pseudotelomeres" can prolong the life of the human body by 360 years.
And the rebirth potion that can be used 5 times can theoretically provide 450 years of lifespan for brain cells.
However, this theory is debatable, because to obtain another 450 years of brain cell lifespan, the premise is that every time the brain cells are supported to the limit of life, in the use of rebirth drugs.
It is estimated that no one wants to endure brain failure for twenty or thirty years, so the rebirth agent can extend the brain life span by 400 years, which is almost the limit.
Coupled with the original life of human beings, the length of life has exceeded 500 years, reaching between 510~600 years.
……
With the injection of life elixir, Academician Yang felt that his body was in the process of transformation.
The nutrient solution in the life support chamber is constantly changing, and countless old cells in the body are injected with new vitality, and on the chromosomal telomeres of the cells, the life essence generates a "pseudotelomere" on the original basis.
The body that was dull before has undergone earth-shaking changes, plus some other drugs and the assistance of biological computers.
He is no longer the middle-aged man who has nothing to show for himself, but a real middle-aged man.
After 72 hours, all volunteers were given the first stage of transformation by the Life Elixir, and then proceeded to the second stage, which was the injection of the Rebirth Elixir.
This is also where the risk is greatest.
First of all, the consciousness and memory database of all volunteers is hosted on the main server of the biological computer.
It turned into a soulless body, and the rebirth potion was injected into the body, and the cell activin went straight to the brain and heart.
The shackles of division in genes are temporarily lifted by cytoactivin, and with the support of a large number of nutrients, organs such as the heart and brain, which were previously unable to divide cells, begin to divide in their dreams.
It's just that this cell division and replacement is not as fast.
The person in charge of the hospital stares at the physical data of the volunteers every day, for fear that something will go wrong.
Time flowed like an east, and in a blink of an eye, it was 12 days later.
Many family members are also anxiously waiting for news outside the hospital.
In the life support cabin, the bodies of 100 volunteers have been rejuvenated, and their physical vitality is no less than that of a 20-year-old boy.
Fang Ge and Lin Sha came to the hospital again.
Looking at the rows of life-support cabins, Fang Ge knew that the most critical moment in the first phase of the clinical trial had come.
"Reactivate their biocomputer."
The biocomputer was reactivated, and under the guidance of an outside worker, began to gradually inject memories and consciousness into the brain.
Academician Yang in the life support cabin had his eyes closed, and in his mind was a review of his life.
In the childhood and youth of the warlords, and when he was a war-torn student, he went to the United States for further study and development, and studied the law of non-conservation of the universe with Lee Tsung-dao, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics......
He opened his eyes blankly, and as the nutrient solution slowly dropped, an illusion of a world of life followed.
Feeling his youthful and energetic body, it seems that after reincarnation, he has returned to his youth.
Others, like him, were literally born again.
They're back, and their fighting spirit is burning again.
