Chapter 137: The Heights Flick
Wasteland World, Scientific Research Center, Materials Research Institute.
Hundreds of researchers who have been urgently summoned are doing complex tests and analyses on the "Adamantite" brought out of the fantasy world.
If you want to detect the performance of an unknown material, you have to go through dozens or even hundreds of items, among which the more important ones are dynamic performance testing, physical property testing, combustion performance testing, thermal performance testing, electrical performance testing and salt spray testing.
And it is not like the previous rough experiment in the fantasy world, only the hardness index in its mechanical properties was tested.
There are dozens of large laboratories, hundreds of rooms are like a labyrinth of research institutes, a dazzling array of instruments and equipment are running at the same time, and researchers who are broken down into many project teams are in a hurry.
"Scalability Testing!"
"Conduct a pulse experiment!"
"Melting point test!"
...
Shen Sen watched the progress of the experiment in the holographic projection, quietly waiting for the results in his temporary office, and at the same time thinking about countermeasures to further develop the fantasy world.
The fantasy world is different from Blue Star, and there are many mixed forces in it, including local human organizations and neon troops behind the "door".
There are also various fantasy creatures and unknown creatures such as "gods", and it even seems to be related to subspace psionic energy.
Although with the current advanced military technology, it is enough to easily overthrow the rule of the kingdoms of the fantasy world, but it is not easy to accept tens of millions of medieval people who have lost their organization and management at once.
After all, humans are not machines, and entering a single command can make countless machines obey and complete tasks.
The education and training of personnel, as well as the subsequent establishment of organizations, require a lot of human and material resources, and if the original regime is overthrown now, it is very likely to lead to the possibility of the fantasy world dragging down the Blue Star and the wasteland.
Therefore, the forces that must be resolved in advance can only and must be the neon troops, who occupy the vital "door", and behind them there is a modern industrial world of equal strength.
If Neon decides to let his Moldy Daddy enter the stadium one day, it may cause the fantasy world to fall into a long war.
Unless you find a way to close the "door" in this world, you must take the initiative, control the door, and build an impregnable defense line and fortress around it.
Whoever takes the lead will be attacked, and the enemy will suffer heavy losses and heavy injuries at one time, and he will not dare to give birth to the idea of using force to force his way through again.
If this is to be done, it means that the existing weapons and equipment must be upgraded, and at the very least, it is necessary to master a weapon that is more deterrent than a nuclear bomb, which can destroy a modern country with one blow or a few blows, and the strike range covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers or millions of square kilometers.
When the weapon is powerful enough to destroy all the buildings and living organisms in the neon land behind the "door" in an instant, I am afraid that no one will dare to risk the disappearance of their own country to stretch out their claws to the other world, and then they should worry about whether their world may be invaded.
So the question comes back to the issue of materials, after all, under the current stage, materials are the carriers of weapons, and the performance strength of materials determines the strength of the defense and firepower of the equipment.
For example, the Aerospace Equipment Floating Gun Matrix, the Storm-class space-based railgun, and the Pioneer-class heavy land-based firepower platforms, tanks, and flying ships all require top-notch materials that can support their defensive armor, energy centers, and firepower platforms.
Synthetic materials take a lot of time to develop, and if there is an off-the-shelf material now, it will undoubtedly speed up the development process.
After staying in the office for a while, seeing that there was no result, Shen Sen turned around and came to the Fantasy World Development Management Center not far away.
There are a group of maids and former lords brought from Count Itarica's manor, as well as a black loli and a fire dragon that have lived for more than eight hundred years, and the scientific researchers are examining them.
When Shen Sen came here, basically everyone had already finished, except for Yan Long, who had just been injected with nerve anesthesia and had been sampled by various inhumane tissues.
It seemed that several people were very curious about this place, and Mamina of the Headhunter Rabbit Clan and Aurea of the Medusa Clan looked around cautiously, and they were amazed by the various shiny instruments and equipment, including the lights, in the laboratory.
The black Lori is guarded by two mecha soldiers, guarding against the possibility of her possible trouble.
After the project director in charge of the analysis and research of the heteroracial organism gene project saw Shen Sen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to ask:
"Leader, do you need to know how the project is progressing?"
"Let's talk about it." Shen Sen nodded.
He was poached by Shen Sen from MUN as one of the current disciples of the red vest prawn. Wearing square glasses and looking polite, Anderson, the head of the genetic project, was slightly excited and excitedly talked about what they had discovered during this time.
"Leader, after studying the elven race, we have found the genetic information of longevity genes in their DNA, and after human cell testing, we have found that they can be perfectly edited into human genes.
If the extraction can be replicated, our pilot program will be directly advanced to the next step, and it may only take a few years to develop a technical system to extend the life of humans. ”
"Oh, really?" After Shen Sen heard the report, he did feel a little surprised.
"So what about the results of this test, especially the genetic information of the one named Lori McChuley, have you found anything?"
Since the genetic factors of the blonde elves can be used, wouldn't it be more suitable for the human Lori gene that has lived for hundreds of years.
"My subordinate was about to tell you about it." Anderson's expression also became a little surprised and confused at this moment.
"Leader, you've probably heard of the theory that affects the limits of our human lifespan, the Hayfrick limit.
There are 38 trillion cells in our human body, and each cell has a different time limit for the aging cycle, replacing the senescent and apoptotic cells by dividing new cells.
But the problem is that human cells can only divide up to 56 times under the most suitable conditions for growth, and after this number of times, no matter what method is used, the cells will age and die, and cannot be changed.
It's like someone has set an extremely strict biological clock in the cell to quickly self-secrete a toxin after the last division is complete, killing itself.
In other words, in fact, it does not need to die, and it can continue to survive and split, but due to the existence of a certain law, it must activate the self-destruct device and forcibly kill itself, which is the famous Havelik limit.
Through these theories, it can be inferred that the limit of human life expectancy is about 120-150, and it is only a fine-tuning of life expectancy in the future, but in fact, the vast majority of people do not live to this age, because of a large number of diseases, we die prematurely. ”
Anderson pushed his glasses and continued.
"Actually, to be more precise, the Hyfrick limit is just one of the many reasons that affect the limits of the human body, and it corresponds to the problem of chromosomal telomere shortening.
In addition, in order to prolong human lifespan, we need to overcome many problems such as genomic instability, loss of protein homeostasis, abnormal mitochondrial function, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered information exchange between cells. ”
"With the current technology, it could have taken us a long time to double the life expectancy of human beings, and the research resources required to double it could have been even more and longer."
"However, in the genetics of elves, some of these problems have disappeared, and some have been restricted, and we guess that it is the role of longevity genes.
But strangely, we didn't find this gene in a human named McChule, but we found that her cell activity is similar to that of Yanlong, far surpassing that of humans, and some of her cellular characteristics are even comparable to viruses, and it seems that there is an unknown radiation force that constantly maintains her body activity.
If you want to further test, you may need the help of the Institute of High Energy Physics to help and conduct joint research. ”
Is it psionic?
Shen Sen subconsciously remembered the psionic energy from the subspace, according to the researchers, with psionic energy, he could have cellular activity beyond ordinary people, and his lifespan would be extended several times, so wouldn't he be able to live for thousands of years?
