Chapter 137: Artificial Semi-Autonomous Organelles
"Four years?"
Ouyang Jie muttered in a low voice, as always, his focus was completely different from Fang Ziyu's.
But this time he thought of something that Fang Ziyu hadn't expected, or hadn't thought about yet.
The discovery of a liquid lake under Mars by the Europa Space Agency was news not long ago, and even people who don't pay much attention to astronomy will know about it because of the screen swiping in the circle of friends, but what happened after that was Bailey telling about the future.
Looking at his eloquent appearance, it doesn't look like he's making up a story, but if it's not making it up, it means that he can predict what will happen in four or five years!
And Bailey says that he lost his artifact, which means that he is talking about a future that he foresaw some time ago.
If he was really the Dominator of Tomorrow, and not a puppet pushed by a certain Dominator to the stage, wouldn't that mean that his predictive ability crushed Fang Ziyu and Ouyang Jie?
Think about it again, when Bailey questioned Albert before, he mentioned that when he founded Caesaro Company twenty years ago, Bailey found Albert, who was unknown at the time, isn't this a typical routine for the reborn protagonist to predict the future and subdue Niu B's little brother?
That is to say, Bai Li obtained the Zeus Weapon twenty years ago and became the Ruler of Tomorrow, and he was the old-timer of Fang Ziyu and Ouyang Jie.
And such a veteran ruler actually lost his celestial weapon?
"The celestial weapons of the rulers are different, the way the celestial objects are predicted and the time span is different, it's not surprising that I can see farther than you, and if you think about it from another angle, you can see wider than me, don't you, J. Oh yes, now that I've lost my artifact and can't get it back, it's okay to tell you. Bailey pointed to the photo in his hand and said, "My artifact is a paper document, on which I can see future papers, and this picture is from a paper by a professor fifteen years later. ”
"Papers? All the inspiration you've given me over the years comes from your thesis? ”
Albert didn't know the Dominator, so he wasn't as suspicious as Fang Ziyu, he believed that Bailey could predict the future, but he couldn't understand this strange way of foreknowing.
"The quality of the papers is high and low, and I will cite the work of others. Twenty years ago, I found you by relying on clues between the lines. As for the trade secrets that can bring great benefits, they will gradually become known over time, and it is not uncommon for them to be included in papers. Bailey explained a little and then turned back to the topic, "Let's continue with the disaster you brought about, you found a way to eliminate lipofuscin, but you didn't settle for that, because ......"
"Because even if I use this method periodically, I can only theoretically delay aging, and if there are other factors that cause the aging of human cells, I still can't do anything about it. And, even if the accumulation of lipofuscin decreases, the elderly are still elderly. Albert finished the second half of the sentence for Bailey, and it was clear that it was not difficult to speculate on his own thoughts.
"Yes, just taking a step on the ladder of immortality is far from enough for you, although delaying aging can give more people hope to wait until the Blue Brain Project and the Polar Paradise Project succeed, but you are not surrounded by electronic life, you do not recognize that the upload of human brain consciousness is a transformation of human life forms, and you hope to personally break the limit of Hayflik and achieve immortality."
Good assistant Jiang Lan immediately presented the answer:
The Heflik limit is a theory proposed by the American federal microbiologist Leonardo Haflik, which states that human cells will die after 56 divisions, and if you can break this limit, you can stay away from aging and death.
The Blue Brain Project is a plan to replicate the human brain for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and the plan intends to simulate brain behavior at the neuronal level, reverse engineer the human brain, and eventually simulate the entire human brain.
As for the Polar Paradise project, neither Google, Baidu, nor other search engines have been able to give a valuable result.
"So, what did I do?" Albert stared at the photo in Bailey's hand, and he finally felt uneasy at the thought that the person in the photo was himself five years later.
"In a short period of time? I don't know. I'm guessing you didn't do anything, though. I can see more than just medical papers, so I can see the pressure you were under at that time from other papers. The first is the pressure from allies and investors, who are mostly old people who are dying, and your 'new life' has them out of their hospital beds, but can't let them escape death, so they bet all their anxiety and desire on you. ”
"Then there is the Zhengfu, in order to make a profit, in order to gain greater influence, you did not hide your secrets, the mass production of lipofuscin removal drugs, although most of them flowed into wealthy families, but you did drag countless old people back to the world from the line of death. This is not a good thing for the governments of various countries. First of all, there is the issue of inheritance tax, compared to the high inheritance tax, the price of life-sustaining pills is not worth mentioning, so the rich and the sons and daughters of the rich are crazy about your achievements. ”
"Of course, taxation is a small issue, and what makes Zhengfu even more troublesome is the aging of society and the declining birthrate. You let the world see the fact of immortality and the hope of eternal life, at first people did burst out wave after wave of enthusiasm for work, the whole human society seemed to be renewed, but the good times did not last long, Zhengfu soon realized that in the future there will be more and more old people, there will be fewer and fewer newborns, the rich family's family will become larger, and the poor will cut back on food and clothing, work hard to save, strive to be able to buy life-sustaining drugs after retirement, and then enjoy themselves with retirement pensions. ”
"In order to save enough money and at the same time ensure their quality of life, even the middle class has begun to refuse to produce, not to mention the poor who are struggling with the poverty line, and the simultaneous decline in birth and death rates has made the governments of countries panic, so they have started to put pressure on you to come up with a solution."
"Finally, there are the poor who make up 99% of the population, and the removal of lipofuscin is not a one-time project, they cannot afford the high cost of medicine at least twice a year, they can only watch themselves slowly age, watch the rich enjoy their health, watch the opportunity for wealth redistribution disappear, and watch the final equality between poverty and wealth - death - also be overthrown by you, can you imagine their anger?"
"I can't." Albert told the truth without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehe, your honesty always makes me feel helpless." Bailey shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "In short, under pressure from many sides, Caesaro was forced to give in, and you were not reconciled, so you made a crazy attempt. ”
Albert thought for a moment and asked, "What did I do?" ”
"You make 'new life' a part of you."
"It's not crazy, we started giving some patients the microbes they needed two years ago."
"No, it's not as simple as implanting extraterrestrial microorganisms in the body, you let the 'new creature', let this damn extraterrestrial microbe, integrate into human cells like mitochondria, and turn it into an artificial semi-autonomous organelle!"
