Chapter Twenty-Three: Reverse Growth and Immortality

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ling asked Luo Ziyan: "Ziyan, about the 'lighthouse jellyfish', have you heard anything from your father before?" ”

"No, he never said anything related to his work in front of us." Luo Ziyan pursed her lips and continued: "Maybe he just wrote it down casually, God knows what the use is." ”

"Why don't we take a look at your dad's computer?" Xiao Ling said cautiously.

"Yes." Luo Ziyan happily agreed, but then frowned again: "I don't know if there is a password." ”

"Let's try it first."

"Okay!"

The two returned to the table, Luo Ziyan opened the notebook, and as expected, the computer had a password.

The laptop is always plugged in, which means it never loses power.

After Luo Ziyan pressed the on/off button, she found that it had been dormant before.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's heart immediately moved: Could it be that Luo Yi didn't plan to turn off the phone when he left?

But then came the problem.

I don't know what software Luo Yi used, after Luo Ziyan made two consecutive input errors in the input interface, there were only three times left, and there was a warning: if you make five consecutive input errors, the entire computer will be automatically destroyed!

"No, there's a limit to the number of times you can enter your password?" Luo Ziyan glanced at Xiao Ling with a bitter face.

"That's normal, your dad should have a lot of confidential information in it. And three more times, you see what else can be used as a password. Xiao Ling said.

"I've tried it for my mom's birthday, and it's not right."

"Try it by your name, Pinyin."

According to the words, Luo Ziyan entered it again, but it was still wrong.

Now, there are only two chances left!

"What should I do, Xiao Ling?"

"There are two more times, if you are worried about something going wrong, let's try one last time, and stay once without losing!" Xiao Ling took a deep breath and continued, "Zi Yan, do you have a nickname or English name?" ”

"Yes, my dad gave me an English nickname when I was a child."

"What's it called?"

β€œAngelia。”

"Okay, just use this, try it one last time, if it doesn't work, we won't try, so as not to destroy your father's information."

Luo Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then tapped on the keyboard, and as the picture changed, she immediately cheered: "It's on!" ”

But as soon as he saw the things on the display, Xiao Ling immediately frowned.

When the computer is turned on, instead of the desktop, a WPS document appears in an editing state!

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's heart began to sink: it can be seen from here that Luo Yi really did not prepare when he went out, which means that he encountered some unexpected situation and changed his mind temporarily.

The reason is very simple, since he attaches so much importance to the data in this computer, and has installed a self-destruct program, it is impossible for him to be careless enough to leave without shutting down.

In this way, Luo Yi's disappearance is really a big deal!

Looking at Luo Ziyan, who was staring at the computer screen with an excited face, Xiao Ling sighed secretly in his heart: Your father is more than lucky this time!

"Xiao Ling, look, this text mentions 'lighthouse jellyfish'!" Luo Ziyan said excitedly: "This must be a clue!" ”

As soon as his heart moved, Xiao Ling immediately let Luo Ziyan turn to the very beginning of the document.

But when they saw it, they were startled almost at the same time.

At the top of the first page of the document, there is a line of large red letters, which read: "On 'reverse growth and immortality'."

Isn't it, could it be that Luo Yi is studying the secret of immortality?!

Immortality, this proposition has existed since the birth of human civilization! For thousands of years, countless scientists, both ancient and modern, have been discussing.

In China, people have long longed for immortality. This appeal is particularly evident in Taoism, where the alchemy of Taoism is the best proof of this.

Moreover, there are examples to be found about immortality, such as the legendary Peng Zu, who lived for more than 800 years, and the beautiful mythical story of 'Chang'e repented of stealing the elixir, blue sea and blue sky and night heart'.

"The Biography of Mu Tianzi" said that King Mu of Zhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty traveled west twice and went to Kunlun Mountain to meet the Queen Mother of the West at that time, in fact, it was also to seek eternal life. The most famous legend is the story of Qin Shi Huang sending Xu Fu to take 3,000 boys and girls to Penglai Xiandao to seek medicine in order to seek immortality.

It can be seen that immortality is not people's whim, it is actually the most primitive and instinctive desire for survival in life!

And this desire is prevalent in the animal kingdom, let alone humans!

Therefore, Xiao Ling felt that Luo Yi's idea was not too much.

It seems that Luo Yi's pursuit is really not ordinarily high!!

With Luo Ziyan's rolling mouse, Xiao Ling followed her and watched.

However, due to the fact that there are a lot of technical words in the article, it seems extremely difficult and difficult to understand, so they can only read a general idea.

After sorting out, the two finally understood Luo Yi's research topic and his trip to Yunnan, and the result was really as Xiao Ling expected.

It turned out that Luo Yi began to study the topic of immortality a long time ago. He searched everywhere in search of the ultimate secret of life. And this time, Luo Yi and Yu Zhenxing went to dive in an underground blue hole in Yunnan, and accidentally discovered a very special lighthouse jellyfish.

So, he managed to take some samples and bring them back.

Through research, Luo Yi was surprised to find that this lighthouse jellyfish is completely different from ordinary lighthouse jellyfish, their growth and aging can be replaced in an infinite cycle, to put it bluntly, this jellyfish is a kind of creature that can live forever!

With the further development of research, Luo Yi also discovered that this jellyfish is actually an ordinary lighthouse jellyfish, which has this ability because their bodies have mutated after being exposed to radiation!

However, the mutated jellyfish lost the ability to reproduce asexually and could no longer reproduce. That is, their number will neither increase nor decrease unless there is the intervention of external factors!

Because Luo Yi has already done a lot of work on this research, his understanding of lighthouse jellyfish is extremely comprehensive.

He is well aware that the world's known lighthouse jellyfish, although they are also a kind of creature that can grow in reverse, have not been found to prove that they can cycle indefinitely, and the results of the study show that they are at best a special kind of regeneration, or morphological variation.

And this ability is actually especially obvious in low-level life forms, and the lower the level, the more common this ability is, so this is not a new thing.

But the discovery of this mutated lighthouse jellyfish made Luo Yi completely overturn some of his previous views and theories.

Based on this discovery, he made a bold idea in the article, planning to extract the genes of jellyfish for research, so as to achieve the ultimate proposition of cracking life.

The article was not completed, and it is estimated that it is less than half of the content, but Luo Yi did not continue to write.

Probably Luo Yi was going to write a paper, so it didn't mention the process of discovering the lighthouse jellyfish in the blue hole, which made Xiao Ling a little disappointed.

The two of them looked through the computer again, but only looked at the name of the file, but nothing else caught their attention.

After turning off the computer, Luo Ziyan turned her head and looked at Xiao Ling with a cute expression: "My dad is studying immortality?!" ”

"From the current situation, it seems like this." Xiao Ling smiled bitterly.
