After a short time, all the personnel had already gathered in the captain's room, and Yu Yifeng first read the report to all the people who didn't know.

Although the faces of the people were different, the general reaction was more indifferent than he expected, except for a few older people, most of them were surprised for a moment, and quickly calmed down.

This reaction was somewhat unexpected to him, Yu Yifeng thought about it in a blink of an eye and understood.

Also, the average age of the people on the Noah is 28 years old, and they are still in the state of young adults, and the oldest scientist is a little over 50, less than 60 years old, and he is still at the peak of his career.

In this case, people who are strong and strong generally have decades to live, and people rarely think about such things as lifespan.

Extending life is just a little new and curious for them, and it is only a possibility, and it has not really been realized.

So this great thing doesn't make people jump excitedly, and it's not even as exciting as a super excavator.

Everyone is young, who thinks about such a thing as old age and death. It's too simple to live a long life, smoke less, drink less, eat less junk food, and exercise more...... These activities prolong life and allow people to live for a few more years.

However, these longevity activities can only be remembered and done when you are old......

All right...... For people's reaction, Yu Yifeng was really a little crying and laughing. When they were on Earth, those leaders and tycoons went crazy and invested money in research on perfection elements, didn't they just want to live longer?

When they are dying, they all go out of their way to experiment with perfection in an attempt to get their luck one last time...... Although in the end, all failed.

There is great fear between life and death!

Now it's a good thing, there is something that really has the potential to prolong life, but people are only slightly excited, maybe because they are not yet old......

"Everyone, I think you all know that although the Martian virus is also a carbonyl organism, its genetic structure and protein structure are completely different from those of Earth organisms. We can use the Martian virus to fill in the missing content in biology and find more scientific inspiration. ”

"Now, Professor Konstantin's research team has some new results, and I would like to ask them to elaborate on them." Yu Yifeng waved his hand and gave a brief introduction to everyone present.

Konstantin is a young professor in his early thirties who has also been involved in the research of the Martian virus. His two dark circles were very large, giving him a feeling of over-fatigue, but his eyes were bright, and they were clearly being held up by a force.

Talking about his scientific research results, Konstantin said excitedly: "There is more than just one Martian virus, so far, we have discovered 3,325 different kinds of viruses. ”

"They're actually more complex than viruses and can survive on their own, but we still habitually call them viruses......"

In Konstantin's research, there are twelve that can cause disease, and the rest are not suitable for long-term survival in the human body. Their research team is tracking these viruses.

"After more than 400 patients recovered, we conducted a rigorous medical examination on them. Strange things happened, after being infected by the Martian virus, many people's overall physical score increased by 1.6%! ”

"Although this number is not large, it completely exceeds our expectations, we thought that after a serious illness, people's physical fitness will decline, but the result is higher." Konstantin pulled out a chart with various data.

Before Mars exploration, people generally have to participate in strict physical examinations, so all kinds of data are very detailed.

"There must be a reason for it, and we want to find out why......"

"After three months of experiments, we have finally discovered a virus that is beneficial to humans, called the Longevity Virus!"

The people at the bottom were a little restless, "longevity virus", the name sounds very strange.

"When the longevity virus invades the cell, it is able to reactivate the activity of the body's stem cells, allowing it to divide more times! It works by repairing telomeres at the end of DNA......"

Konstantin took out a whole set of scientific terms and explained it, for fear that he would not be able to say it clearly, so he said it again in popular terms.

What is Aging? What is the nature of aging?

For life, aging is an eternal rhythm.

Gray hair, tooth loss, and wrinkles are visible aging, while the decline of internal organ function, sluggishness, poor memory, and weakened resistance are invisible aging.

The essence of human aging is cell attenuation, and cell attenuation is mainly caused by stem cell attenuation.

People can live up to 100 years or more, while monosomal cells tend not to live as long, for example, epithelial cells are replaced every 27-28 days, and intestinal mucosal cells are replaced every 2-3 days.

The body's mature somatic cells die due to aging or injury and need to be replaced at any time, and stem cells are the source of these replacements.

However, there are also times of stem cell division, which are affected by DNA telomeres. Scientists have discovered that with each round of DNA replication, a piece of DNA is lost at the end, which is called telomeres.

Like a hard hat, it guarantees the integrity of the DNA sequence through self-sacrifice.

But without this compensatory mechanism, DNA will eventually shorten or even disappear after thousands of generations of replication, resulting in two consequences – aging and tumors. So, there is a limit to the number of times a stem cell can divide.

"The longevity virus can repair some telomeres at the end of DNA and reactivate the ......activity of senescent stem cells," Professor Konstantin said enthusiastically, "According to experimental data, it can increase the number of stem cell divisions by 30%-50%!" ”

"In other words, it can greatly increase the life expectancy of humans, and if it is well controlled, it is 50% possible!"

His voice grew louder and louder, apparently proud of the discovery, "At that time, the rate of human aging will be greatly slowed down, and the average life expectancy of people will reach 110-130 years old!" ”

"After 100 years of age, human beings will age significantly! There is not much difference between 20-year-olds and 50-year-olds. ”

This time, everyone understood, and their hearts beat twice, this is a visible benefit, human beings have such good luck!

Although this life-extending effect is not worth mentioning compared to Perfection, it was invented by human beings with their own science and technology, and it can be used by the whole people!

Yu Yifeng suddenly sighed, the world is really impermanent. There is such a thing on Mars! If the high-ranking officials and wealthy people on the earth know this news, it is estimated that they will really build a large spaceship and run to Mars......

There are many plans to prolong life, and the most powerful is Perfection Element, but the earthlings have spent so much manpower and material resources to do it. Now, a long-lived virus has somehow done it......

Although the effect is much less, it can also extend the life span for forty or fifty years, which is already very good!
