Chapter 634: The End of the World (14)
Anyone with a little bit of biological knowledge knows that the reason why living things have the ability to heal themselves is because cells can divide. From the old cells, new cells are divided, increasing the total number of cells. At the same time, it also replaces old, inactive cells. Within a certain range, the self-healing ability of organisms is directly proportional to the speed and number of cell divisions per unit of time.
However, this does not mean that as long as the cell divides faster and the more times it divides, the more self-healing the organism will be. Because cell division is not unlimited, when those cells divide a certain number of times, the cells will start the self-destruction program and begin to age and die. This is the iron law of nature, in the world in which He Wei originally lived, after thousands of years of exploration and research, human beings have found only one type of cell that is not limited by this iron law, cancer cells.
Only cancer cells can proliferate indefinitely beyond the iron rule of the number of cell divisions. Moreover, although humans have deciphered the secret of the infinite proliferation of cancer cells and found the gene sequence that breaks the iron law, when they try to express that gene sequence in other types of cells, they find that the gene sequence is either not expressed normally, or it is expressed in the way that assimilates that cell into cancer cells.
Although He Wei and Xiao Jiu both knew that in the world they originally lived in, almost all civilizations were secretly studying cancer cells. Among them, using the infinite division ability of cancer cells to improve the self-healing ability of soldiers after being injured is one of the key topics! Moreover, Xiao Jiu also knows that after thousands of years of ability, most civilizations have made certain achievements in this research, and the plummeting mortality rate of soldiers in war is the best proof of this!
However, Xiao Jiu can also be sure that this so-called achievement has only reduced the mortality rate of soldiers in the war, and if you want to make soldiers become immortal bodies like powerful souls, there is no civilization that can do it for the time being!
"This should be the ultimate goal of the major civilizations' research on improving the self-healing ability of soldiers, right?" He Wei looked at the powerful soul in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "Perverted self-healing ability, immortal soldier!"
"No, it's not. Xiao Jiu said, "As far as I know, in the case of a powerful soul, although it does meet the purpose requirements of this research in this near-immortal vitality, this self-healing ability is still not strong enough!"
"This kind of self-healing ability is not strong enough, so what kind of self-healing ability is strong enough?" He Wei said in astonishment.
"Have you ever seen a liquid metal robot? No matter how heavy it is, no matter what it is destroyed, as long as the core part is not fatally damaged, it can automatically recover in 30 minutes or something. Xiao Jiu said, "In their project plan, the purpose of this research is to at least make the soldier's self-healing ability reach or even exceed that of liquid metal robots!"
"They're crazy! How can humans and robots be compared! Even if someone can really have that kind of perverted self-healing ability, they will definitely collapse because their bodies can't bear it!" He Wei shook his head.
"You guessed right. Most of the subjects were unable to withstand this overload of metamorphosis because their own cells were really unable to withstand this overload, and the ultimate self-destruction procedure of the cells was triggered, and the cell membrane was water-soluble and ruptured, and the test subjects melted into a pool of blood on the spot, and the bones were gone!" Xiao Jiu said in a trembling voice, "In time, occasionally a few test subjects with special physical functions escaped the fate of turning into blood and water, and all of them became permanent vegetative because the nervous system suffered irreversible heavy damage. ”
"Alas......" He sighed worriedly, unwilling to talk about the cruel arms competition in the world he originally lived in, "So, do you suspect that the Powerful Soul is one of the test subjects of this self-healing experiment?
"It's not a suspicion, I'm almost sure!" Xiao Jiu said as he turned on the stereo imager and presented the results of its detection of the Powerful Soul cells in front of He Wei, "You see, in terms of bone age, the age of the Powerful Soul is about 40 years old, and at most it will not exceed 42 years old. However, judging by the age of the cells you just gave me, the age of the Mighty Soul is by no means less than 50 years old! This shows that the cells in the Soul of the Mighty Soul had survived for eight years before he was born!"
"A person who has not yet been born, but his cells have been living in this world for a full eight years, even if you subtract the gestational age when he was conceived in October, the time is completely incorrect! So, I'm sure that the soul is definitely born abnormally, clone!"
"Clones?" He Weiyan's heart jumped when he heard this, and his expression, which was originally quite stretched, suddenly became extremely nervous.
"Yes, clone!" Xiao Jiu repeated, "Moreover, it should still be a clone that has been mass-produced!" Although it is not clear for the time being that this biotechnology originates from a civilization, but judging from the perverted vitality and super self-healing ability of the powerful soul, the other party's research on this kind of perverted self-healing ability has surpassed all civilizations and is at the forefront of this research!"
He Wei was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he shook his head fiercely, forcing himself to wake up from his shock, and then said, "You wait first! You mean to say that someone is conducting research on the Zhongling Continent to use cancer cells to create soldiers with super self-healing abilities, right?"
"Yes. Xiao Jiu replied.
"And that person is still from the world we used to live in?" He Wei continued.
"Although I can't tell which civilization that person came from, from a technical point of view, there is no doubt that he is from our world. Xiao Jiu said firmly.
"But why are they conducting this kind of research in this world?" He Wei said wildly, "As far as I know, most of the civilizations in our world already have the technology to break the barriers of space. But so far, this kind of technology should be limited to being able to break the barriers of space! They can't achieve accurate positioning at all, and it is not easy to launch detectors and detection teams in a single direction, let alone travel freely between the two worlds!"
"Well, it's true, as far as I know, no civilization has yet possessed the technology to be able to travel freely between the two worlds. Xiao Jiu said.
