"At least it can extend life for a while." Ada nodded, and said another sentence that made the dwarf tyrannosaurus feel ashamed, "Actually, it's easy to guess, but you didn't think of it. ”

Qiao Hua felt a little helpless, thinking that this alien woman was too worthy of her reasoning ability.

But after thinking about it, he had to admit that his brain was indeed a little dull, or that it was too confined to it.

The function of the thinking information storage device, in addition to enhancing the five senses, is to play a guiding role in opening its own genetic lock.

Targeted stimulation is required to open the gene lock, and this stimulation is divided into two types, one active and the other passive. Both methods of stimulation have the same goal, and the end result is that the whole body or a part of the body will produce some kind of favorable change under a certain level of pressure.

For example, in order for the skin to develop its ability to resist stress, it must first slowly adapt to the pressure of water; In order for the body to become an insulator, it is first subjected to a certain amount of electric shock.

So, when the body's functions continue to age due to fatigue, will the aging rate of the cells slow down or even stop because of the storage of that white lotus flower?

After pondering for a while, Qiao Hua found that it made perfect sense to see this as a form of receiving passive directed stimuli. Even he had thought about it briefly in his head, only to be rejected by himself because the idea was too bold.

Hearing Ida say this now confirms that the white lotus flower can indeed prolong life.

"By prolonging life, do you mean how long it can be extended?" Qiao Hua tried his best to calm down his feelings and asked cautiously.

"I can't say."

Ada's eyebrows raised slightly: "This kind of gene lock can be opened." It depends on the self-breakthrough ability of the genes of the creatures on your earth. This is the same as the half-life of a radioactive element, there is no regularity, it can be long or short. But one thing is certain, at least for the first three hundred Earth years, your life will not be a problem. ”

"People like us on the planet Gliese. The highest survival record has reached 1,000 years on your Earth, and some Gliezers are still very young when they live to 600 Earth years. And the Supreme Governor has lived for more than 800 Earth years, and so far there is no sign of aging. Ida explained to Qiao Hua, "The other intelligent species on the planet have different life spans, but none of them have reached the life length of the Gliese people. ”

The dwarf tyrannosaurus shrugged its massive nose and took a deep breath.

He didn't expect that. Unknowingly, he has obtained the immortality ability that life on earth has always dreamed of, but cannot be expected. Moreover, the generation of this ability is in a completely passive situation, which is a natural self-regulation of bodily functions under the influence of the white lotus, and there is no need to bother with labor at all.

If Qin Shi Huang, who had visited the overseas immortal mountains to seek immortality, knew such a thing, I don't know what kind of feelings this old man would have.

Qiao Hua suddenly looked at Ada. Asking abruptly, "Then how many years have you lived on Earth?" ”

"Me?"

Ada's expression suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, my experience is still very limited, and the year converted into your earth is about one hundred and sixty years. ”

One hundred and sixty years? Qiao Hua couldn't help but silently calculate in his heart.

According to Ada, if the life length of the Gliese people is reduced to the proportion of earth humans, and one thousand years is regarded as one hundred years of earth humans, then the age of this alien woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she can only be regarded as a little girl.

"I've lived for fifty years." Crick shouted with his tongue stuck out next to him.

Seeing Qiao Hua silently speaking, Ida thought that she had been despised by this earth creature because she was relatively young. Hurriedly added: "Although I am not very old, I have played an important role in quelling the riots on the planet Gliese, so I was entrusted with such an important task. ”

Qiao Hua was stunned.

From the meaning expressed by Ada. It can be seen that this alien woman is very concerned about her qualifications, which is diametrically opposed to the attitude of the Earth woman towards her age.

The reason for this is not only cultural differences, but also the number of years of life. After all, in the eyes of the Gliese Star, one hundred and sixty years old is still quite young.

"I'm not questioning your qualifications." Qiao Hua explained, "In the eyes of our intelligent creatures on earth. This is called being young and promising. Sixteen years old? Flower the same age! ”

Qiao Hua's words made the alien woman and her pet dog look at each other.

"Wang--what does it mean to be young and promising?" Crick, the star dog, asked with his tongue sticking out his tongue. "What do you mean by a flower-like age?"

The dwarf tyrannosaurus had no choice but to use his mind to give a lame explanation of the idioms and figurative sentences he used.

"The thoughts of your planet are really interesting."

Qiao Hua didn't expect it. When she explained the meaning of these words, Ada's face turned a little red because of this. Although this color was fleeting, it was captured by this dwarf tyrannosaurus.

Are aliens too shy?

After a pause, the dwarf tyrannosaurus shook its tail and couldn't help but ask another question in his head.

"If you Gliese people can live for so long, won't you be able to live together for generations?"

According to Qiao Hua's thoughts, the sexual maturity time of the Gliese star should be about the same as that of the earthlings, but the length of life has reached a very alarming point, and there should be no problem for dozens of generations to live together.

"We don't allow random breeding on our planet." Ida replied, "In order to maintain the ecological balance of the entire planet, there are strict restrictions on the number of reproduction of the next generation. Species are not allowed to breed in general, and only after layers of screening can those who pass it be allowed by the government. ”

"Having a child also has to be screened?" Qiao Hua was surprised, "Doesn't everyone have such a right?" ”

"Of course not."

Ida seemed to feel that Qiao Hua's words had no research value at all: "On our planet Gliese, the birth of every life has to go through strict restrictions, and all the genes selected are the best genes on the planet. If all intelligent beings have the right to reproduce, it is easy to lead to innate genes that are uneven. ”

This sounds like a lot of reason, but Qiao Hua always feels a little uncomfortable. Perhaps in the eyes of this alien woman, such a rule is quite normal; Even when Qiao Hua himself looked at this kind of problem from a higher level, he felt that it was beyond reproach.

However, at what height should the basic rights of living beings be placed? (To be continued)
