Chapter 35: Treading Water

The morning air is fresh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and at this moment, Cheng Xiao is teaching Mao Jin how to breathe and breathe, how to concentrate his thoughts. This look looks more or less like a person who practices martial arts practicing internal skills. It's just that they are indeed practicing internal skills!

Cheng Xiao knew that he was not a martial arts master, nor was he a qigong master. But he had practiced martial arts for a while, and he still knew something about them. Although ancient Chinese qigong is often exaggerated or mystified by martial arts novels, its health function is undeniable. Qigong not only enhances the heart and lungs, but also improves the function of the nervous system and speeds up the person's reaction speed. And these two points are exactly what Mao Jin needs the most at present. Due to the damage of brain stem cells, the heart and lung function of Mao Jin is also weakened, and the exercise ability is also seriously impaired, so it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone for her to practice qigong.

It's just that all qigong and even all TCM treatments have a weakness, that is, the course of treatment is very long, but they also have a little advantage that Western medicine can't match: almost no side effects!

Cheng Xiao is a very patient person, and it doesn't matter if the course of treatment is longer for him. As long as there are no sequelae!

According to what Cheng Xiao said, Mao Jin breathed slowly, slowly exhaled the qi, and meditated on what meridians and acupoints the qi walked on. After a while, Mao Jin's pretty face began to turn rosy. Coupled with the glow that has not receded at this time, it looks even more delicate and moving.

"How do you feel now?" After the first stage was completed, Cheng Xiao put down his hand and asked softly.

Mao Jin turned around and said with a smile: "I just feel in good spirits, and I don't feel anything else!" Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "It takes long-term training to be effective." In the short term, if you feel good spirits, it will already be effective! Mao Jin smiled: "Big brother, after I practice martial arts, can I also be like those heroes, pedaling the water, stepping on the surface of Wanfeng Lake from here, and flying to the opposite mountain?" Cheng Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's something in the story, it's unlikely to exist in reality!" Mao Jin asked, "Why?" Didn't you teach me all the internal skills now? ”

Although she is now eighteen years old, she is still a little naïve sometimes. It will not analyze a problem with pure reason and dialectical thinking, just like Chengxiao.

Cheng Xiao flicked a chestnut on her forehead and said with a smile: "You little head melon seed, I don't know what to think about all day!" I love fantasy so much! Mao Jin screamed bitterly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you don't say it, forget it, why are you playing me?" Cheng Xiao said softly: "It hurts? Mao Jin didn't speak, just looked at him angrily. It's as cute as it is. Seeing this, Cheng Xiao habitually took her in his arms and said softly: "Okay! Don't be angry! It's the big brother's, isn't it! ”

Mao Jin chuckled slyly in his arms, it seemed that she was deliberately trying to hug her. She snuggled in Chengxiao's arms and asked, "Big brother, you haven't told me yet, why can't I become a chivalrous woman?" Cheng Xiao looked at her with a satisfied look in his arms, and he couldn't help but show a smile, and then said: "Physically speaking, it is possible to have such light skills as stepping on the water." But physiologically speaking, this kind of kung fu is almost impossible to exist! Mao Jin shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" ”

"Whether an object is moving in water or air, the resistance it receives increases as its speed increases. If a person's feet can generate a lot of speed at the moment of treading water, then it will also be subject to a lot of resistance from the water. If this resistance is greater than its own gravity, then the person can rise again without sinking into the water. ”

"But physiologically, it's unlikely. The direct energy substance for all human life activities is adenine nucleoside triphosphate (ATP), which is a high-energy compound in the human body. Whether it's the contraction of muscle cells or the conduct of nerve conduction impulses, the energy provided by ATP is used directly. It is like money, it is the energy currency in the human body. However, due to its rapid conversion with ADP, it is found in very small amounts in the human body. This means that it cannot provide a large amount of energy instantaneously. Without energy, the speed of any object will not increase. A moving object has kinetic energy in itself, and the faster it moves, the greater the kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is also energy, which is subject to the law of conservation of mass and energy. Therefore, if you want to increase kinetic energy, you have to consume the chemical energy in the human body! ”

A pair of clear eyes have been looking at Cheng Xiao obsessively. Cheng Xiao was embarrassed to look at her, he couldn't help but scratch the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Mao Jin smiled: "Big brother, why are you so smart?" Every time I am with you, I can learn a lot of things! Cheng Xiao said: "Your big brother is just a waste!" An imbecile, how can you be smart? Mao Jin buried his face in his arms and said vaguely: "No matter what others think of you, you are my big brother." The greatest and greatest big brother in this world! Cheng Xiao was full of pity, gently combed her long hair with her fingers, and said softly: "Mao Jin, do you blame the big brother?" Every time your big brother sees you, he either tells you a lot of things that others sound annoying, or asks you to do this and that. I don't accompany you to go shopping and the lake, nor do I accompany you to a movie. Mao Jin, isn't your big brother bad? Mao Jin smiled: "How come? The big brother will say something very novel to Mao Jin every time. These things are all things that Mao Jin has never heard of before! ”

Cheng Xiao's words were very few, but every time he faced the delicate and lovely Xiao Maojin. He couldn't help but have a lot to say to her. In fact, he didn't know that he had unconsciously fallen in love with Dong Mao Jin.

On the shore of Wanfeng Lake, it is warm and sweet. At this time on Bora Bora, Cheng Xiao's father Cheng Ye and his mother Li Qian were nine deaths.

Cheng Ye and Li Qian originally went to Singapore to sign a contract with a partner, and after the contract was signed, they came to Bora Bora, preparing to return to China after spending a few days off here.

On Bora Bora, in a high-end hotel, Cheng Ye was still sleeping under the quilt. He tossed with his wife all night last night, and it would be strange if he could get up now.

Although Cheng Ye and his wife Li Qian are both fifty or sixty years old, they still look very young because their life expectancy has reached one hundred and fifty years old. In these things, the passion is no less than that of young people. If they were at the beginning of the 21st century, they would have become old men and women long ago.

Normally, it would be nice for people to live to be 100 years old, but it's inconceivable to live to be 150 years old, but that's the way it is.

Human functional cells are highly differentiated cells and cannot divide and proliferate. After apoptosis, they can only be supplemented by the proliferation and differentiation of corresponding functional stem cells into functional cells. For example, after the death of red blood cells, they can only be replenished by hematopoietic stem cells that differentiate into red blood cells.

There is a limit to the number of times functional stem cells can divide and differentiate, and once they cannot differentiate, it means that the life span of a person is coming to an end.

But there is another kind of cell in this world that can multiply indefinitely like cancer cells. That's embryonic stem cells. But it is also regrettable that there are no embryonic stem cells in adults. Embryonic stem cells are only found in early embryos or primitive gonads, and they have a high totipotency and can differentiate into more than 200 kinds of cells in the human body. Scientists have taken advantage of this by reverse-differentiating functional cells obtained from humans and turning them into embryonic stem cells. These embryonic stem cells are then delivered back into the body. These embryonic stem cells then differentiate into corresponding functional cells under the action of various inducing factors in the human body.

According to this theory, as long as there are embryonic stem cells in the human body, that person can live forever. But this is not the case, because there are still some unclear factors that limit the proliferation and differentiation of embryonic stem cells, so the current life expectancy of human beings is only 150 years.

This research project, which had some research results as early as the beginning of the 21st century, is now almost complete and is becoming widespread so that ordinary people can enjoy this technology. But in the old days, this technique could only be used by some people of very high social status, because its price was very high. At that time, the reason why some celebrities were "not old" was because of the existence of this thing.

Now the technology has been perfected and does not cause side effects to people. Cheng Xiao also used this technology, otherwise he would still look like a young man of twenty-two or thirty now at the age of nearly thirty. Not to mention adult parents.

Cheng Ye and Li Qian are very affectionate, they have known and fallen in love since they were young, and finally formed this family. Then they worked hard and worked together, and finally achieved today's brilliant and huge Cheng Foundation.

With no three children by their side, they are like a young couple on their honeymoon. Li Qian woke up early. As soon as she woke up, she cooked and prepared breakfast. When everything is ready, she will carry it to the bedroom early. Seeing that Cheng Ye was still asleep, he put the breakfast on the table next to him, smiled and kissed him lightly on the face.

This kiss woke up Cheng Ye's kiss. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Qian, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaoqian, why did you wake up so early?" ”

Li Qian is a typical good wife and mother, after she heard this, she couldn't help glaring at him, and said angrily: "It's still early? Didn't you toss enough last night? Cheng Ye sat up and said shamelessly in her ear: "Do you want to come again!" "Shameless!"

Cheng Ye smiled: "It's all old husbands and wives." What is shameless and not shameless! After he finished speaking, he took a "chirp" on Li Qian's face. Li Qian hurriedly dodged away and said with a smile: "Okay! Stop it! Brother Cheng, come and eat breakfast! ”

Cheng Ye quickly finished washing. He looked at Li Qian's early arrival, and couldn't help but kiss her, and said, "Xiaoqian, you are really caring!" I don't know what virtues I have accumulated in my previous life, and I can marry a wife like you in this life."
