"To be able to live to be 100 years old is content, as for 120 years old, there is no hope." Xu Zhengping said with a smile, "As for the study of methods to extend life, it will be difficult to study for a while." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Zhe, who was sitting next to him, and Professor Ning Changshengning, who was sitting in the front row.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as he does not have accidents, such as car accidents, electric shocks, etc., he will have no problems living to be 100 years old.

After all, more than 90 percent of them can be cured now.

The life-threatening thing will be the aging of the body's organs.

Fundamentally, genes determine that human life is finite.

However, with the development of science and technology, it is inevitable that human beings will break through the genetic lifespan limit.

But it takes a long, long time to study.

At present, Professor Ning Changsheng Ning's research in this area is at the forefront.

And then there is Su Zhe.

He knew very well that the Nine Days Research Center had set up a scientific research team of 10,000 people to study the human body, plus more than 10 million people on the periphery.

Such a research team is huge.

Even so, it is still difficult to find a way to extend the life span of human beings.

Su Zhe nodded and said seriously: "Immortality!" In other words, it is indeed very difficult to extend the life span of human beings, but we are slowly extending it for eight years and ten years, and with the development of science and technology, we may be able to achieve immortality. ”

From a genetic point of view, the limit of human lifespan is about 120 years old.

Maybe there will be some differences between different people, but not too much.

In the macrocosm of the universe, nothing exists forever, or is unchanging.

For example, the earth, the moon, the sun, and so on.

All of these are changing, and they all have a certain life, and they cannot exist in the universe forever.

But humanity is still in the quest for immortality.

From the perspective of the individual human being.

If we can maintain the living environment of human beings, we can achieve immortality when we fully understand the genetic mechanism of human beings.

This refers to physical immortality.

There is also the immortality of consciousness.

Ning Changsheng turned his head, looked at a few people and said, "Don't hide it from everyone, our scientific research team has actually made a small breakthrough in the study of longevity, or life extension, not to mention extending the life span by ten years, there is no problem in extending it by five years." ”

He had been studying immortality for years.

In the past, because of the problem of scientific research funding.

He can only engage in theory.

Now it's different.

If you want money, you have money, and you want people.

The progress of the research is naturally fine.

For now, for the same validation experiment, he can arrange three sets of experiments to be carried out at the same time.

In the past, I couldn't even think of it.

Hearing Ning Changsheng say this, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Xu Zhengping were very surprised.

"Really! Can it really extend life by five years? Xu Zhengping said with a surprised face.

"Professor Ning! Is life extension the upper limit of increasing human lifespan? That's the most important thing. Fan Xiaoming said with some excitement.

Su Zhe smiled and did not speak.

He is clear about Professor Ning Changshengning's research.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the human research team of the Nine Days Research Center, a cooperative relationship has been reached with Professor Ning's research team.

The data and information on both sides are interconnected.

For Professor Ning's small breakthrough, he naturally knew about it.

"Of course, it is to provide the upper limit of human lifespan, to put it simply, people who could have lived to be 120 years old without disease and disaster, after we intervene, they can live to be 125 years old." Ning Changsheng said seriously, "Of course, the theoretical aspect is almost clear at this stage, but the actual experimental verification is still in progress, and whether it can be completed depends on the results of the experimental verification...... That, everyone should remember to help us keep it secret, once the experimental verification fails, it will be bad. ”

He just looked at the few people in front of him, and he wouldn't say anything else.

"Professor Ning! Rest assured, we won't be talking nonsense. Xu Zhengping said affirmatively.

Although the verification experiment has not been successful yet, it seems that this road can be taken now.

Fan Xiaoming looked at Ning Changsheng and reminded: "To be honest, when it comes to prolonging life, it must involve genes or something, we can study it, but before large-scale application, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not make mistakes." ”

The issue of human genes is no small one.

If it is not done carefully, it is likely to bring devastating disasters to mankind.

"We've always been careful, and we don't dare to joke with the fate of humanity." Ning Changsheng said seriously.

The development of science and technology is a double-edged sword.

With good use, human beings will go out of the earth and out of the solar system and become a real interstellar race.

If it is not used well, it is very likely that mankind will be destroyed by the science and technology that it has developed.

This is no joke, it's a fact.

Just like the light pillar project, SS-defense system.

If you meet a madman, you can destroy all the human beings on the planet in minutes.

Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "It's right to be cautious, we humans can't be destroyed by our own hands." ”

Don't look at the rapid development of science and technology now.

Light pillar engineering, SS-defense systems, and so on are developing rapidly.

In fact, there is a corresponding security assessment and relevant security personnel within the company.

Just like the current game capsule, armored spacesuits, remotely controlled simulated robots, etc., safety assessments and corresponding supervision have been done behind them.

What prevents is the unexpected.

Several people chatted for a while, and they all looked at the large screen in the control hall.

At this time, the five solar energy collection stations and two light energy transmission stations displayed on the large screen have entered the deceleration phase and will soon be able to enter the designated destination.

At this time, Fan Xiaoming's assistant Ma Ping was holding the microphone and explaining to everyone the solar energy collection station, light energy transmission station, light pillar project, three-door plan and so on.

And these people who sat down, who didn't know about these, listened carefully to Ma Ping's explanation.

I understand, just whisper below.

is like Su Zhe at this time.

He didn't talk to Fan Xiaoming and Xu Zhengping, but chatted with Ning Qiaoqiao, who was sitting next to him.

"Senior sister! Are you ready for your space lab? Su Zhe asked with a smile.

The purpose of the space laboratory was to study the extreme microwave radiation spectrometer carried by the Deep Space probe, which is located 3 million kilometers from Earth.

The study of faulty range microwave radiometry is related to the detection of neutrinos.

In order to build this space laboratory.

HKUST, that is, the scientific research team led by Ning Qiaoqiao, has been preparing for a long time.

As far as he knew, the plan for the construction of the space laboratory, which was three million kilometers away from Earth, had been modified many times, or upgraded.

In the beginning, it was simply a small space laboratory that wanted to build a research center for the study of faulty microwave radiation spectrometers.

After the design of this small space laboratory was completed, Ning Qiaoqiao's college put forward a request to build a larger space laboratory to meet the needs of more experiments.

Ning Qiaoqiao agreed.

But when the design of this space laboratory was completed and preparations began, the school put forward requirements again.

It is hoped that this space laboratory can host all the experimental projects of HKUST, and to put it bluntly, it is to build a comprehensive experimental center in space that is exclusive to HKUST.

At this stage, there is a sky space station in the earth's orbit, which is actually a super-large comprehensive experimental center.

However, the object of this experimental center is all domestic universities, research institutes and other related scientific research institutions.

Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

After HKUST made this request, Ning Qiaoqiao also agreed.

As a result, what started as a small space experiment station was turned into a space experiment center with a total mass of 5 million tons.

In fact, it is more appropriate for this space experiment center to be considered a space city.

Of course, it is not feasible for a space experiment center of such mass to rely on the previous beam channels.

Even if there is capacity to transport it, it will take a long time to transport the construction materials of the space experiment center.

It can only wait for the completion of the three-door plan, and there is a beam channel with a diameter of 500 meters to meet such capacity.

The establishment of the Space Experiment Center is a careful consideration of HKUST.

At the same time, other universities and research institutes have the same idea, but these universities and research institutes do not have such a comprehensive cooperative relationship with Lingzhou University of Technology, and can only wait for the construction of several beam channels built by the space agency.

To put it mildly, space beyond the Earth is a wild and ownerless place.

Whoever owns it now belongs to whomever it is.

As far as domestic universities, research institutes, enterprises and other relevant units and institutions are concerned, who does not want to occupy a large place.

Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said with a smile: "The preparations are almost complete, just wait for the completion of the three-door plan, and we will start to transport supplies." ”

"Good! That's good. Su Zhe nodded, "I have seen the space experiment center you designed, it is very reasonable, and the use of your science and technology teachers and students is completely enough." ”

"Yes! It's almost enough. Ning Qiaoqiao said, "To be honest, there is no comparison between the experimental center we designed and the high-energy space city you designed. ”

The Sky Experiment Center designed by their University of Science and Technology is no more than a kilometer long and 500 meters wide.

The high-energy space city designed by Kelingzhou University of Technology has a diameter of 1,000 kilometers.

How big the gap is.

Su Zhe smiled and said: "It can't be compared like this, the space experiment center you designed will be put into use soon, but the high-energy space city we designed takes a long time to build, and this cycle is a bit long." ”

"Anyway, it's the function you designed, and the Space City is amazing." Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "That's right! Penglai City, led by your Jiutian Research Center, with the participation of many domestic universities, research institutes, and enterprises, is going to develop a Penglai City to Proxima Centauri, and I heard that this Penglai City is also going to be built. ”

The concept of Penglai City has been proposed for a long time.

One of the games produced by Nine Heavens Culture is named after Penglai City, which is a space city that goes to Proxima Centauri.

This Penglai space city has a total mass of 10 million tons and carries 30,000 people.

With a sufficient supply of energy, the ecosystem can continue to function for a long time, and can fly to Proxima Centauri at the speed of one hundredth of light.

In the beginning, it was a game.

In this game, people all over the world design a variety of spaceships in the game, Space City, with only one purpose, that is, to go to the closest star to the solar system, Proxima Centauri.

I thought it was just a game.

That knows that Jiutian Culture and Jiutian Research Center announced that the Penglai Space City plan was officially approved.

Although many probes have been launched in the direction of Proxima Centauri some time ago, the speed of these probes is not high, and the fastest is only 2,000 kilometers per second.

It takes years to get to Proxima Centauri.

However, it is possible to explore the cosmic space between the Sun and Proxima Centauri in preparation for future explorations.

"It will take some time to start construction, and now only the preliminary design plan has come out." Su Zhe said with a smile, "The Penglai Space City project is led by our Nine Heavens Research Center, but it is the Space Agency that undertakes and leads it. ”

The Penglai Space City project was created by him and several assistants of Fan Xiaoming.

In the beginning, it was just about building an IP.

I didn't expect it to develop so quickly, and the relevant technology met the requirements for the construction of the Penglai Space City.

No, that's how the Penglai Sky City project was established.

"Yes! Detect Proxima Centauri! If you fly at one-tenth of the speed of light, it will take at least forty years, and if you are not a real warrior, you will not be one of these 30,000 people. Ning Qiaoqiao said, "That's right! You also set up a plan to build a main beam corridor for the solar system, which is what you call the light path plan, to build a beam channel with a diameter of five kilometers across the solar system, when do you expect it to be completed? ”

"The beam channel across the solar system is only one part of the optical path project, which is a project of our research center, and it is the transportation department that can be built and led." Su Zhe explained, "To put it bluntly, it is to build a beam channel transportation network in the solar system to facilitate the transportation of materials and personnel in the solar system in the future." ”

The development of the solar system is not a swarm of bees.

That's a long-term plan and arrangement.

The relevant departments and institutions in China have moved.

In the past, these departments and institutions only had to worry about domestic affairs, but now they can't, and they have to worry about the development and development of the entire solar system.

I heard the people concerned complain that they used to be in charge of a small village, but now they have to manage the whole earth.

He also said that he was most afraid of technological breakthroughs and innovations.

The development plan that has been painstakingly worked out has not yet been implemented, and a breakthrough has been made in science and technology.

The old development plan will be overturned and the development plan will have to be reformulated.

For example, the layout of the light pillar project is constantly changing.

And there is a deep relationship between the light pillar project and the light path project.

And then there's communication and so on.

After a period of time, the construction and leading power of the light pillar project will also be handed over to the relevant state departments.

These involve the planning of the entire solar system, and this should not be considered by the Nine Heavens Research Center.

I don't have the heart to think about that.

It is better to let the relevant state departments worry about this matter, after all, they are professional.

What he and the Nine Heavens Research Center have to do is research, to study the unknown.

For example, the study of the mechanism of the human body, the study of various particles, the study of the origin of the universe, and so on.

The second is to cultivate talents.

Honestly, that's what he's supposed to do.
