Chapter 136: New Life
Hearing the words "beyond" and "earth", Fang Ziyu realized that the incident he was participating in had escalated again.
The original purpose of coming to the U.S. Federation was to protect the safety of Everett Charles, a mission that transcended all the events Fang Ziyu had experienced before, but it was nothing compared to an invention that could upend the medical system of the past, reshape the human body in a harmless way, and even make people immortal.
Not to mention, this invention is likely to be related to extraterrestrial life!
If Bailey wasn't lying, then ......
Fang Ziyu couldn't help but stretch out the tip of his tongue to touch his lips, the continuous acceleration of his heartbeat made him feel nervous, and the pain of two rows of teeth gently biting his tongue kept him awake.
He looked up at Jiang Lan, who was sitting in front of him on his right, and clearly saw the retreat in Jiang Lan's eyes, but for some reason, his body seemed to be uncontrollable, and he couldn't even complete a simple action like shaking his head and waving his hand.
I don't want to be the hero who saves the world, I don't want to get the technology that changes the world, I don't want to covet the endless wealth that technology brings, I just want to know more.
Time never paused, while Fang Ziyu was entangled and thinking, the others didn't wait, Albert rushed before Ouyang Jie and asked, "What are you talking about?" Beyond Earth? Bailey! Tell me! Come on! ”
"No need to please, I said, I will provide information free of charge, although not for you, but I obviously do not have the right to refuse your observation." Bailey doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, "You know about Mars Express and Xpace, right? Mars Express is Europa's radar for the Martian subsurface and ionosphere, and Xpace, the most prestigious space exploration technology company in the United States, has always had ambitions to colonize Mars. ”
"It has nothing to do with my research!"
At this time, Albert did not look like a scholar and researcher, but like a gambler who gambled his entire fortune and waited for the dealer to deal his cards, impatient.
"Of course it does." Bailey was not annoyed after being interrupted, and continued in a bland tone of stating objective facts, "Since six years ago, the Europa Space Agency has been continuously obtaining radar data from the South Pole Plateau of Mars, and recently they discovered a liquid lake with a span of twenty kilometers at a depth of 1.5 kilometers below the surface of Mars. ”
"Because Mars does not have a magnetosphere and has a thin atmosphere, Mars does not have a natural protective layer that reflects cosmic rays, which means that the scientists Xpace plans to send to Mars must live underground, which is a difficult challenge for Marlon Ask. And the liquid lakes beneath the polar ice caps gave him a boost of confidence. ”
"Although this underground lake dissolves a large amount of mineral salts to remain liquid at minus 68 degrees Celsius, liquid brine mixed with perchlorate can be turned into drinking water with low-cost water purification technology. After learning the news, Xpace accelerated the pace of exploration of Mars. ”
"Two years later, Xpace, who had invested a lot of resources, finally got the machine into the ground and retrieved the precious samples from the liquid lake......
Albert excitedly replied: "The sample contains salt-tolerant extraterrestrial microorganisms!" ”
"Yes." Bailey nodded, "Two years later, Caesaro has put dozens of microbial drugs on the market to improve the body and cure intractable diseases. At that time, even Bayer will bow down in front of Caesaro, and with the help of Caesar's energy, you will get your wish and exchange Xpace for extraterrestrial microorganisms that have survived for tens of millions of years or more. ”
"And then? Did I succeed? Albert's eyes lit up as if he saw the moving prospect described by Bailey.
"Unfortunately, you succeeded." Bailey sighed and held up the picture, "Two years later, two years later, you managed to reduce the amount of lipofuscin deposited in the cells of the test subject. Oh, and by that point, by that time, you've ignored the law and started mass human experimentation. ”
"Doesn't vaccines also start with human experiments?" Albert was unimpressed, "How did I do it in the future?" Did you find a way to stimulate the body's cells to synthesize anti-aging enzymes, or did you find a way to remove aging factors and dissolve lipofuscin? ”
"It's lipofuscin, using the microbes you named 'New Life', you get rid of the lipofuscin deposited in the cells of the human body, and those old test subjects are doing amazingly, all of them are relieved of all the troubles caused by aging."
Bailey and Albert were like crazy terms about codes, and Fang Ziyu was confused, but at this time, no one would be stupid enough to interrupt, and could only use their eyes to signal Jiang Lan to immediately search for popular science materials.
Soon, Jiang Lan presented an easy-to-understand explanation to Fang Ziyu: the human body constantly produces atoms and molecules with asymmetric electrons in the process of metabolism, that is, free radicals, the invasion of free radicals makes human cells produce aging factors, and the aging factors further infringe on cells to claim lipofuscin, when lipofuscin accumulates in cells, it will damage cells, resulting in slowed down cell metabolism and decreased activity, thus causing the decline of human organ function.
The anti-aging enzymes synthesized by cells can resist this damage, but with the increase of age, the content, activity and synthesis ability of anti-aging enzymes decrease, which leads to aging.
According to Elle, Albert will find a way to remove intracellular lipofuscin, in other words, the various manifestations of aging caused by lipofuscin buildup, according to Elle.
For example, if the lipofuscin accumulated in the immune organs is eliminated, then the body's immunity will be improved; For example, if the lipofuscin deposited in brain cells is eliminated, memory and sleep quality will be restored; For example, if the lipofuscin accumulated in the skin cells is eliminated, the rough and dull skin will be restored, and wrinkles and pigmentation will be eliminated......
There are also visual impairments caused by the degeneration of the lens, decreased detoxification function caused by the aging of liver cells, arteriosclerosis caused by the aging of blood vessel wall cells, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by the aging of blood cells, all of which can be solved!
What is this concept?
Fang Ziyu is still young and doesn't know what a terrible thing aging is, but he can imagine the helplessness of watching all aspects of his body deteriorate day by day but helpless, and he can also imagine an old man's desire for a healthy body and nostalgia for youth.
If there is such an opportunity to make the elderly no longer suffer from the pain of aging, and let the elderly have a vibrant body again, presumably most of the elderly cannot refuse.
And most of the power and wealth in today's world are in the hands of the elderly over 60 years old.
In the future, Albert will create a miracle that they cannot refuse.
At that point, no one could stop Albert's research.
