Chapter 53: Telomeres, the Wish of Eternal Life!

In 1943, Abraham Maslow divided human needs into five levels from lowest to highest, namely: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.

This theory has strong universal significance.

Specifically implemented to the individual, the essence has become the need for layers of advancement, and the final desire for spiritual perfection and longevity.

Because man knows that he cannot achieve physical immortality.

Otherwise, at the top of the pyramid, the two competitors of value demand and eternal life demand, will inevitably play out the dog's brain.

Here's the problem......

Why do human beings generally regard reproduction as an important milestone in life?

Summing up a paper of hundreds of pages, there are only a few words -

Eternal life.

There is no hope for an individual's immortality, and passing on his own gene fragments and chromosomes is equivalent to another form of pursuit of immortality.

Even so, there are still countless myths and legends in ancient and modern China and abroad.

In addition to the yearning for the strength of the individual, a large part of the original desire is due to the word "eternal life".

Gods, immortals, devils, angels, Hades, demons......

In addition to possessing a variety of strange abilities, most of the humanoid lifeforms in many myths and stories share a common characteristic......

You can live a long time!

Hundreds or thousands of years of life!

This point is most obvious in the four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West".

Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave Lingming Stone Monkey King watched his companions aging and dying one by one, sighed and sighed, so he crossed the mountains and crossed the sea, and found the Fangcun Mountain to apprentice to Su Bodhi, named Sun Wukong, who was successful in cultivation and learned all kinds of magical powers.

The strongest motivation that urged him to travel far and seek the Tao was "immortality"!

Learning scriptures from the west, ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, where does the main line contradiction come from?

"Eat a piece of Tang monk meat, and you can live forever!" rumors.

Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, it does not matter where it came from or whether it was a strategy of the Buddha or not.

The pursuit of immortality is almost one of the primal desires engraved in the depths of every human gene!

It is also a theme that never goes out of style in various literary works!

Sadly, in the real world, no one has ever been able to truly live forever.

In the twenties of the last century, there were super-rich people worth tens of billions, because they were terminally ill, and they hired scientists at that time to freeze themselves, looking forward to waiting for the future after the development of science and technology, re-thawing, and resurrection.

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Anqing couldn't help but sigh.

That person's thinking is good, but it's a pity that the universe where the earth is located is a true demonic plane, and the extraordinary power is not visible.

Even if you wait until the future, when technology climbs to the top and successfully thaws and revives the body, the rich man will become a vegetative person without the ability to think.

The soul of ordinary people, without the nourishment of vigorous qi and blood, cannot withstand the training of long years, and gradually wears off with the passage of time, I am afraid that it will long be trickled down.

Now, Yan Anqing intends to give a little hope to the human beings on the earth.

A glimpse of the hope of immortality.

All the experimental plans have been clearly understood.

If the structure of Fuxi cells, Wuji cells and super-cavities comes from the structural variation of mitochondria, then if we want to make human beings immortal, what should we do to start?

The answer is simple!

Telomeres!

It's an interesting thing, usually located at both ends of the DNA, and it's one of the conditions necessary for cells to divide properly.

As time goes by, the living form gets shorter and shorter as it ages.

Eventually, it wears out, the cells can no longer divide, and life withers, withers, and is finally eroded by time and turned into a pinch of loess.

"The matter of rejuvenation is still done by scientific means, which is more shocking and more acceptable to earthlings......"

Yan Anqing closed her eyes and selected the right person in the database.

In the end, he chose two gray-haired old men.

Almost all of the photos of these two people were from a year or two ago.

Harmless.

The retouching game comes with the [Reasonable Retouching] function, which can ignore the difference within a certain range and modify the picture directly to the real world.

After a period of testing, Yan Anqing found that as long as the photos of people in the same period as the real situation can be used directly.

Infant, juvenile, juvenile, youth, prime, old age.

These six stages are vague in scope and do not have a strict age division.

The first old man, named Phoenix, was the archpope of the Vatican Yahweh Cult.

Now he is dying of old age, and he may die at any time.

The second old man, with a rickety figure, a sallow complexion, skin full of age spots, cloudy eyes, black and red lips, just looking at his appearance, is similar to that of ordinary peasant old people.

Longteng Mountain, Zhang Qianqiu Dao Chief, Guoshu Bagua Hammer Everyone, the top grandmaster.

It's not a vain name now.

Zhang Qianqiu's reputation was built with his fists and blood when he was young!

Back then, he was also the same existence as the legendary protagonist, suppressing the outstanding figures of an era in the entire Chinese martial arts world.

It's a pity that time turns and hurts everything.

Decades have passed, the red face has withered, and the heroes have withered.

Today's Zhang Qianqiu is no longer the style of the past.

According to the normal trajectory of fate, whether it is the Pope or the Grandmaster, they will eventually become dry bones in the grave.

Their names are forgotten.

Their deeds will never be mentioned again.

All traces of their existence will fade with the passage of time.

Can ...... now

Yan Anqing made a move, and the fate of the two was reversed!

"Increasing Telomere Length and Rationally Modifying ......"

"Expelling dead cells, repairing visceral organs, improving metabolic circulation."

"Eliminate metabolic toxins from the body and adjust the appearance ......"

Yan Anqing transformed these two people who were favored by fate little by little.

Mitochondria are extraordinary!

Telomeres in the peep of immortality!

Yan Anqing's magic reform of the earth has just begun.

……

On Longteng Mountain, outside a stone house with a sense of age.

The wind and drizzle, the faint morning light shines through the thin clouds, reflecting all things.

An old man stood quietly in the soft breeze, his eyes slightly twinked, and sixteen deep footprints appeared on the marble slab under his feet.

It's the imprint of decades of morning exercise.

Except for the stone slab beneath his feet, the rest was covered with moss, and on the old dry and gray trees, magpies sang limply songs that humans could not understand.

"Hey......"

Zhang Qianqiu slowly opened his eyes, put down the long sword in his hand, sighed, collected his spirit, and his chest rose and fell.

It's not okay to be old.

Back then, I used this "Shangqing Secret Hidden into the Meditation Imperial Sword Dao True Solution" to carry qi and blood, meditate and cultivate, which could only be regarded as a warm-up exercise.

But now, after only two small weeks, he was out of breath and his heart was beating hard.

In this state, let alone fighting with others, even when walking fast, I can't help but gasp.

Every day, it's a repetition of the past.

Every night, he worries about whether he will never wake up.

Actually, there is nothing to complain about.

Among his peers, Zhang Qianqiu thought that he was very well conditioned, at least, he was not tormented by the old diseases day by day.

Several other old fellows who were struggling to catch their breath are now tossing and turning on the sickbed, terminally ill and miserable, just seeking a quick death.

Relatively speaking, they are relatively lucky.

Junyan, who debuted at the same time as Zhang Qianqiu, most of them, their bones have rotted, and the grave grass is lush, and the occasional glimpse makes people sigh and sigh.

Suddenly, there was a frolicking sound in the distance.

Zhang Qianqiu looked into the distance and saw several young people walking together.

One of them, a black-haired young man with golden eyes, still carrying a video camera on his shoulder......
