Chapter 9: The Vignette of the Fifth Day and Night

Fang Wenjing sat on the bed, staring at the orange cat. After packing up the spaceship tonight, she saw the orange cat in the corner...... I had already pulled a box, and I was taken care of by Xiao Wu Xiaoliu, but it still smelled of cat feces, so I decided to carry it to the bedroom, so as not to make the cabin smelly. However, just now, the cat suddenly spoke to her! Say! Speech! Finish!

"Hello, Xiao Wang."

???

Who am I? Where am I? Who's talking to me?

"Hello, Xiao Wang, can you hear me?"

"Yes?" Fang Wenjing replied in a low voice, afraid.

"Is it convenient for you to speak now?"

Fang ...... Convenient? Whispering in reply, she stared intently at the orange cat. The voice doesn't seem to be the orange cat talking, but a pronunciation device in its body--- which can obviously pick up the sound as well. It's like a small device implanted under the skin of a cat. The orange cat seemed to feel the vibration of the pronunciation device, and walked around and meowed irritably.

"I ...... I want to make a good deal with you. The voice said.

"What deal?" Fang Wenjing looked at the door, if Li Li was telling the truth, then he shouldn't be able to hear their conversation.

"I ...... It can make you immortal, if you can take someone to Mars. ”

“??? Uh, how do you make me immortal? ”

"I ...... We're vampire families, got it? ”

"it...... Is it so amazing-. -, I don't believe it, I'm a materialist. That's impossible. ”

"Hehe, I can explain and prove it to you from a scientific point of view, but it's been too long, can you come out?"

Not? From a scientific point of view, then the recent learning of biology should explain it...... How to explain it? Fang Wenjing thought quickly. Huang Chaoyue once said: You can say slowly, but you have to think quickly. Well, in fact, it wasn't Huang Chaoyue who said it, but a celebrity who said it, but she forgot who it was.

Immortality and immortality, why do people get old? Why do people die of old age? Because of organ failure, what will the organ fail? Because people are old, how do the organs know that people are old and then start to fail? There must be a counter in the organ that can know how long a person has been alive, and this timer is the root of aging, right? It counts the person's age and then causes some changes in the body at each fixed age, changing voice, menstruating, growing body hair, and stopping growth. So, if there is a way to stop the timer, it should be able to stop at that age, and the body will always think that I am 32 years old, and I will not carry out the process of aging...... So...... How can I turn off the timer?

"Huh? Xiao Wang, can you come out? The voice saw that she didn't speak, and asked again.

"Well, yes, you know the ...... next to the airport in G City Uh, how do you talk about the location of this building......"

"No, the cat has GPS."

“……”

"Can you help our guys get into the rocket? Stay until launch. ”

"Why do you want to get into the rocket, there's no blood to suck on Mars."

"Hehe, a world war is about to start on Earth, let's go over there and help you first. If the earth dies, it will save one more species, right? ”

"What earth is dying, don't be sensational, okay."

"The current situation on the earth is very unstable, we can discuss it slowly on the journey later, we can go outside your building, you just need to swipe the card to let me enter the rocket."

"......... the hell is that simple?"

"Do you agree?"

"Then how do you make me immortal?"

"Hehe, we've always done what we say. Just drink our blood. ”

"Well, well, it's crowded now, come at four o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation."

It's impossible to work together...... Her access card couldn't open the gate and the door of the parking lot, and Li Li didn't give her permission to go out for fear of her sneaking away. Besides, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu have been guarding the rocket entrance in turn, and even if they bring it into the rocket center, they can't get into the rocket.

She looked at the time, and it was not yet 12 o'clock. So he ran to Li Li and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Li! Mr. Li? ”

Li Li was obviously asleep, and came over to open the door in a daze in his pajamas. "What's the matter?"

"Borrow your phone and call Professor Zhao."

"Let's come in."

"It's not good to be alone. I'm going to stay up all night with her. ”

"......" Li Li rolled her eyes, then turned around and went back to the house to get a landline split phone and threw it to her.

"Wow, why don't I have a phone in my room?"

"Because you're not honest."

“…… Thank you. She gave me one with her number. ”

“176xxxxxxxxxx”

Fang Wenjing took the phone back to her house, and was just about to dial the number, when she remembered that there was a bugging device in the house. I looked at the orange cat and wanted to dig out the bugging, but I couldn't bear to disembowel it, so I had to carry the cat to the hall on the first floor and come back, dial the phone, and read in my heart: Don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep.

After two or three rings, the phone rang, "Hey? Who? ”

Fang Wenjing. The one who trains with you during the day. ”

"I know."

"I'm so touched you remember my name."

"Tell me what's the matter?"

"Have you ever studied the genetic scheme for immortality?"

"Hehe, there has been research for a long time, but it hasn't been successful yet."

"Is it so hard? I think there must be an age timer in the human body, find out the base group of the timer, just turn it off. ”

"Hehe, you're smart and thinking in the right direction, but it's not as simple as you said the timer can be turned off. It is the length of the telomeres that determine the lifespan of human organs, and every time the cell divides, the telomeres become a little shorter, until they can no longer divide, the human body can no longer metabolize, and the parts can not be renewed, and they will fail and age. ”

Fang Wenjing thought for a moment and continued to ask: "It seems that cancer cells can grow forever and forever?" ”

"Yes, cancer cell telomere length does not become shorter as a result of division."

"Wouldn't it be nice to find this gene that controls the length of telomeres and change it?"

"Hahaha, aren't all the cells of that person becoming cancerous?"

"How so? Cancer cells are bad cells, but normal human cells are good cells! ”

"You little fool, where are the cells good and bad, cancer cells also have the same structure as normal cells, except for different growth and division characteristics."

"What's so scary about cancer? Everyone is just the same cell, and they are neighbors together. ”

"The terrible thing about cancer cells is that they have a strong infiltration characteristic, which can enter any organ and tissue and grow wildly in it, occupying all nutrients, and once the supply of nutrients is insufficient, it will immediately die in batches, resulting in blockage of blood vessels and organ failure."

“…… I'll go, it's annoying...... Hmm, so what is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor? Benign is also crazy, right? ”

"Benign growth is much slower than malignant and has no infiltration, does not erode other parts, and just grows in one place."

"Hey, isn't this the end! The telomere gene expression of benign tumors is replicated in all organs of the human body. ”

“……… Benign tumors are also tumors, they don't grow crazy, they still keep growing slowly, do you want all the organs of the human body to keep expanding? This will destroy the physiological structure of the organs. ”

“……… Then go straight to the normal cells of the human body, the thing that controls the length of telomeres, and make it not shorter! ”

"It's as simple as that, the human genetic code is calculated in terabytes, about 5 terabytes, and we can't even crack 1% now, and many traits are not as simple as changing a base pair yes or no, it takes a lot of things to change. The operations you see on the computer are all simplified one-button operations, and you choose one that is, in fact, the computer has modified N more things. ”

"And how did you crack the rest of your traits?"

"Those traits are all examples, for example, if you want to change the trait of a redhead, you can directly compare the DNA of a redhead individual with a DNA that is the same as that of another race but other hairs, and then replace all the different parts one by one, and then breed the individual to try......"

"To raise a child to try so slowly?"

"Yes, you can't know the color of the embryo, you have to wait until the fetus has hair at least 7 months before you can detect it."

“……… Wow, you know so many traits now, how many babies have been in test tube......"

"This world-wide database is shared, that is, the discovery of a trait can be used by the world's gene pool without intellectual property rights, so it's okay for genetic engineers all over the world to create people together."

"Okay...... So, how do you collect individual DNA? You didn't even teach me, hair? Blood? Epidermis? ”

"Eldest sister, the place you are going to is a barren land, why don't you have any DNA to collect?"

"Not necessarily, what if an alien creature is discovered!"

"Impossible."

"I'll talk about this later, teach me how to collect it."

"Whose are you going to collect?"

"Can I collect a clone of Li Li's past?"

“……… Rub a cotton swab dipped in water on his skin. Then freeze it. ”

"That's it? Is it enough? I have a crippled hand, and cloning can fail hundreds of times. ”

"Rest assured, it's definitely enough. Even if you have to fail a million times, don't you still have a cell printer? ”

"Oh yes, thank you, Professor, good people have a safe life!" After saying that, Fang Wenjing hung up the phone, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When she returned the phone in the past, she said, "Mr. Li, I want to go out tonight, just one minute, borrow your card." ”

"What are you going out for?"

"A friend of mine is coming over and getting me something."

"You called your friend??"

“…… Uh-huh. ”

Li Li took the phone and glanced at the call record: "I only dialed Mr. Zhao's." ”

"Oh, Professor Zhao and I are already good friends!"

Li Li looked at Fang Wenjing with a contemptuous expression.

"Oh, don't you worry about watching me at the door, I'll go out and come back, no more than ten meters from the gate."

"When?"

"Four o'clock."

“………”

"Just go out for a minute! A meeting that was very helpful for our testing! ”

"If you dare to run away, I'll shoot you."
