The 167th Directional Variation Experiment.

Under X-ray irradiation, the original strain of fluorovirus, which has been modified by a part of the base, is rapidly mutating.

"The mutation is complete."

"In triplicate."

The mutant strain was divided into three parts, one for vacuum cryopreservation, one for backup, and one for replication and experimentation.

This mutant virus was injected into the test meat ball, and suddenly it was connected to the detector of the meat ball, and those data were constantly refreshed.

Du Pengxin looked at the data of the meat ball, which was rapidly mutating in the direction they expected.

After 2 hours and 44 minutes.

[Detection complete: X-ray resistance +36%, shortwave laser resistance +12%...... ］

"Sure enough." Jiang Naoto said as he pulled out the virtual display.

The gene sequence before the virus mutation and the gene sequence after the mutation are called up on the virtual display screen, and the supercomputer's function of dividing the same and finding the difference is activated, and the same part of the two sets of gene sequences is eliminated and the different parts are retained.

The different parts were mutated gene fragments, and as a result, 17 deoxyribonucleotides were mutated.

Recording this mutated gene fragment and labeling it "X-ray resistance +36%, short-wave laser resistance +12%......", they have completed the recording of hundreds of groups of mutant gene fragments these days.

The 17 of them were divided into 3 groups, with Du Pengxin leading the gene fusion, Huang Fan leading the symbiotic relationship, and Jiang Zhiren leading the mutant gene.

This arrangement is actually related to the previous work of the three of them.

Du Pengxin has been responsible for the work of X gene and biochemical people before, and has a very deep foundation in gene fusion work.

And the boring gene fragment test record is naturally done by the calm Jiang Zhiren.

Huang Fan was the one who first discovered the symbiotic relationship of the fluorescent virus, so he was naturally in charge of the research in this area.

……

Progress in gene fusion has been slow, and Huang Fan's symbiotic research has produced a lot of useful data.

For example, in order to ensure that the human body can supply energy for a long time and ensure that the virus can survive on its own, the virus is actively repairing the telomere length of chromosomes.

In Experiment Module 2, a ball of meat that mimics an elderly person has been injected with a symbiotic strain.

In the image of the atomic imaging scan on the side, the chromosomes of the symbiotic strain are constantly absorbing nutrients and then releasing some of the progeny.

Like a worm's symbiotic strain descendant, attached to other normal chromosomes, and then something strange happens, the virus is accelerating cell division.

With an adequate supply of nutrients, human cells complete a division in less than 30 minutes.

The old cells and the symbiotic strains of camouflaged chromosomes die together, while the "worm symbiotic strain progeny" in the new cells form camouflage chromosomes again.

Huang Fan reduced the supply of nutrients, reducing the level of nutrient supply to the level of normal people.

Originally, the camouflage chromosomes of the offspring were once again copied, but this time instead of accelerating somatic cell division, they released hunger pheromones to make the meat ball hungry, and it was obvious that these little things wanted the meat ball to supply more nutrients.

It's just that Huang Fan is not empty, because he is comparing the chromosomal telomere length of new cells and old cells, and there is indeed a difference in length between the two.

Generally speaking, the telomere length of old cells should be longer than that of new cells, but the opposite is true for cells that have been symbiotic by viruses.

The telomere length of new cells is significantly longer than that of old cells.

After recording the data into the database, Huang Fan and several researchers once again increased the supply of nutrients to the meat balls, and the meat ball cells were stimulated by the symbiotic strain, constantly dividing new cells and quickly eliminating old cells.

"Incredible!" One of the researchers exclaimed with burning eyes.

At this time, in the mid-air in front of them, there are two sets of chromosomes suspended in the virtual display.

One group is 23 pairs and one group is 24 pairs.

The 23 pairs are naturally the state before the meat ball is not injected with the virus, and the 24 pairs are the state after the injection.

On the virtual display, the biggest difference between the two sets of chromosomes is not an extra pair of chromosomes, but telomere length.

The telomere length of the 23 pairs was already very short, while the 24 pairs were the same as the telomere length of the newborn baby.

If it weren't for the experiment, Huang Fan probably wouldn't believe in the order of the two chromosomes in front of him.

The restoration of telomere length means the extension of cellular life, which is undoubtedly a step forward in life science for humans at this stage.

However, Huang Fan was not too happy, because the chromosome telomere length was restored, but something that had to be faced appeared in front of them.

The chromosomal deletion is not repaired, and the accelerated division of the symbiotic virus further increases the chromosomal deletion.

The seemingly lengthened telomere length is actually a combination of the symbiotic viral progeny attached to normal chromosomes.

The flesh ball somatic cells, which had already divided 45 times, were accelerated by the virus to divide 3 times, and the chromosome deletion reached 48 divisions, which is close to the limit of 50 somatic cell divisions.

Can the symbiotic telomeres of viruses really prolong life? This is a question worth pondering.

Huang Fan started the nanobot to turn off the reproductive base function of the meatball symbiotic virus, and then activated the cell division acceleration stimulator.

Flesh globular cells divide rapidly, dividing one generation in an average of 2 hours.

After 86 hours, the flesh ball cells that had completed 43 generations of division finally collapsed and died completely.

"Subtracting the 50 divisions themselves, and those 3 reverse divisions, we add 39 divisions in the end." Huang Fan was a little distracted while calculating the data.

"Team Leader Huang, this is the case with germ cells and brain cells."

Huang Fan took the data report, and as expected, although the reverse splitting delayed the rejuvenation of telomeres and youth, it had to pay a price.

And at the cost of germ cells and brain cells.

Germ cells are embodied in the following: after the completion of reverse division, once the offspring are reproduced, the consequence is that the offspring will have 100% genetic defects.

Brain cells are reflected in the overall deterioration of brain function, memory loss, mental illness, mental retardation, etc.

Huang Fan put down the report and lamented: "Sure enough, the laws of nature are the most difficult to break through, and if you want to live forever, you have to pay a price." ”

The other researchers were also in a depressed mood, thinking that they had found a way to prolong their lives, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.

In fact, the lizardmen's divine blood potion is an evolutionary route to a certain extent, but for this opportunistic way, the new humans disdain to do so.

Because of the fusion of the divine blood elixir, it is a disguised human and Nibelon hybridization, so as to obtain a part of the Nibelon's bloodline advantage.

According to the research on captured lizardmen, the lifespan of lizardmen is generally about 370~390 years, which is 3 times that of old humans and 2.5 times that of new humans.

No wonder the Illuminati flock to it, especially those of the old human elite, who don't want to hold power and wealth forever.

Humans are human beings, and if they lose their bloodline, it is better to perish completely.

Huang Fan, who was full of distractions, paused his research work, sorted out the previous research data, and then wrote a paper and posted it on the intranet.

The Institute of Life Sciences and biologists on the Blue Star soon saw the paper.

The terrible sequelae on the paper was like a basin of cold water, pouring everyone cold.
