Chapter 9 What is Lifespan? A brief discussion on the role of DNA telomeres in life processes
[After drinking the Hero's Water, the number of fireballs released by the experimental subject Shinobi was increased from twenty-two to two hundred and twelve. 】
Kenichi Amamiya looked at the snow country Shinobu who had lost his strength, and then looked at the training ground that had become pitch black, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this hero's water is really useful?
"However, it should be considered that the strength level of the lower ninja in the snow country is not necessarily the same, but even so, purely from the perspective of an individual, the material of this lower ninja experimental body has indeed increased by almost ten times the chakra." Amamiya Ken looked at the experiment log in his hand.
Although there are different differences between individuals, this time he is not comparing the differences between different ninjas, but the performance of a single individual after drinking the water of heroes.
"So far, I've only taken a normal sip, about forty milliliters?" Amamiya Ken looked at the experiment log in his hand, the hero's water, according to the records of Takikure Village, is that the more you drink, the stronger the strength of the explosion, and it can be understood that the chakra will be higher.
But relatively speaking, then the lost life will naturally become higher at that time, which to a certain extent, can be understood as the service life to exchange for chakra, which should also be regarded as an equivalent exchange?
"It's a little hard to understand, what's the principle of this thing?" Kenichi Amamiya looked at the gourd in his hand curiously, and the ninja who acted as an experimental subject was sitting on the ground at the moment refining the chakra to recover his lost chakra, but from the outside, there was no big change in appearance.
This made Kenichi Amamiya more and more curious about how the life lost by this hero's water was consumed? And at the end of the day, what is this concept of life?
It can't be that the life span written in the book of life and death has been changed by a few lines, right?
From a biological point of view, lifespan should be understood as a large loss of cells, but most of the cells in a normal person's body are constantly dying and then being born, repeating this step constantly.
The cells in a normal person's body are affected by the telomeres of DNA, and when a DNA is replicated, it will lose a small part of the telomeres, and this telomere does not have genetic information.
In other words, the loss of telomeres does not affect the complete expression of DNA replication genetic information, which is equivalent to human nails, and does not affect the normal shape of the entire nail after some cutting.
But the problem is that telomeres have a length limit, even if only a small part of telomeres are lost in each DNA replication, but the total length of the telomeres is constantly shrinking.
When telomeres are almost exhausted, then when DNA is genetically replicated, there will be problems with the genetic information of the inheritance, and the faulty genetic information will lead to the aging and death of cells.
And this is also a life clock of human beings that is generally believed by the scientific community.
If the telomeres are regarded as a clock, then when the hour hand goes back to zero, people will definitely die, because the telomeres are gone, the DNA information that is replicated is wrong, and the cells cannot work properly, so they can only die.
The human body is unable to produce new normal cells to work, so it will eventually die gradually.
"If this is the case, then is it possible that the essence of the Hero's Water thing is actually to promote the replication of a large amount of DNA, thereby increasing the upper limit of the existence of a certain cell in the body, which leads to an increase in the amount of chakra?"
"And then because of the large number of copies, the rate of telomere shrinkage became faster, which directly accelerated the death rate of this ninja? Then the more you drink, the higher the replication of DNA, and the upper limit of a certain cell continues to rise, which bursts out with stronger strength, but because of this, telomeres are reduced even more, which leads to death? ”
Amamiya Ken nodded, he felt that there was a certain possibility, and the possibility was still very high, after all, this speculation was very reasonable.
However, it still needs the support of some experimental data, and theory is theory, and without serious data, it cannot become an axiom.
"How does it feel?" Amamiya Kenichi looked at Shinobi who was refining Chakra and asked, Amamiya Kenichi didn't know the other party's name, he was the code name of the experimental subject Shinobi in Amamiya Kenichi's experiment log.
"Back to Lord Amamiya, I'm just feeling a little tired at the moment, and I really want to take a good rest." Shinobi stood up respectfully and lowered his head, and answered Kenichi Amamiya honestly.
Amamiya Ken glanced at the data of various monitoring instruments attached to the other party, the overall data is relatively normal, and there is no special change, if there is anything abnormal, it is probably that after drinking the hero's water, the other party's electrocardiogram has changed a little.
It probably changed from a normal static state to a state of heartbeat after trotting, and the heartbeat speed increased a little, but it was not particularly fast.
"Purely in terms of data, there is no special change, but it may also be the reason why the amount of drinking is not very much?" Amamiya frowned and thought about it, but he quickly put the idea behind him.
Because there is no need to think about this now, all he needs to do now is to figure out how many chakra multiples the lower and middle ninjas and upper ninjas can increase after drinking the hero's water.
As for how this effect of Hero's Water came about, it is not something that Kenichi Amamiya needs to study at the moment.
So soon, Kenichi Amamiya called another Shinobi and Kamiya Shinobi who had received the gift, and then asked them to release their best ninjutsu at the same time, until the chakra was almost consumed.
And after they had recovered from refining the chakra, Amamiya Kenichi let them take a sip of forty milliliters of Hero's Water, and then tested it again, still releasing the most proficient ninjutsu they had mastered.
[After drinking forty milliliters of Hero's Water, the ninjutsu released by the experimental subject was almost ten times that of the previous one, and the upper ninja was almost eight times higher. 】
[The middle ninja and the upper ninja and the lower ninja drink are all forty milliliters of hero's water, although the multiple of the upper ninja has not reached ten times, but the difference is not very large, and the hero's water is still effective for the upper ninja]
Kenichi Amamiya closed the experiment log, and that was enough, the lower ninja, the middle ninja and the upper ninja, after drinking the hero's water, all had the situation of improving their chakra.
It can be seen that the Hero's Water thing is indeed very useful, although it is not known how this thing achieves this effect, but it doesn't matter anymore, with this thing, Amamiya Kenichi can be said to have mastered the ability to muddy the pool of water in the ninja world.
"How does it feel?" Amamiya Ken glanced at the monitoring data, it was still the same, whether it was a middle ninja or an upper ninja, the current body data was similar to the body data of the previous lower ninja, it was all heartbeat, and there was no special impact on it.
"There's some fatigue." Nakashinobu touched his chest.
"It's fine, but I feel a little strange about my body." Shangnin frowned, he pinched his arm, he always felt that there was something strange about his body, but he couldn't say it.
After hearing this, Amamiya Ken glanced at the body data of the upper ninja a few more times, but he still didn't see anything, the other party's body data was very normal, and there was no particularly obvious change.
The human body, even under normal circumstances, will have some subtle changes, so it is difficult to say whether this slight difference is a sign of reduced lifespan.
Although the current Amamiya Kenichi has a certain guess about the shortening of his lifespan caused by this hero's water, it is still more troublesome to prove this, first of all, he needs to observe the existence of telomeres, but the ninja world does not have such a sophisticated machine.
"But maybe I can argue this in other ways." Kenichi Amamiya thought about it, he had already thought of a method, it was relatively simple, although it was not so accurate, but it was also useful.
"But now is not the time to dwell on this, what I need to do now is to let the news of the Hero's Water thing get out." Amamiya Kenichi shook his head, this problem can be studied slowly, but it is not feasible to waste time like this.
Kenichi Amamiya intends to study one by the way when he spreads the water of heroes and stirs up emotions in the ninja world
Well, it doesn't seem to be able to be studied, and when the news spreads, and then the major ninja villages have made moves, he needs to start preparing his own plan, provoking the war of the four major powers, and then taking advantage of their tense confrontation or falling into a war, blitzed the fog hidden village.
Even if these ninja villages can be a little rational and send some elite ninjas to find them, it doesn't matter if Kenichi Amamiya is, when the time comes, he will let his ninja troops change into other ninja villages with clothes and forehead guards to provoke a war.
Then blitz the Fog Hidden Village.
If that doesn't work, then these ninja villages always have to exchange information with each other to avoid miscalculations, right? While their attention is focused on this matter.
Blitz the Fog Hidden Village.
Well, anyway, no matter what, you have to blitz Fog Hidden Village, just like you did when you blitzed Poland in the first place.
"So how does the news get out of the way." Amamiya Ken glanced at his sealing scroll, and he didn't know if Yakushi Dou had completed the plan he had arranged before?
If the execution is completed, then the other party should also have time to perform something else, right?
"So, I need to spread the word and let the other ninja villages know about it?" In a tavern in a remote town, Yakushidou, who was about to rest, was approached by a woman.
He looked at the other party helplessly, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Well, that's what your lordship commands." Shiori Uchiha sat upright in a chair, then took a sip of a cup of tea in her hand.
Yakushidou rubbed his temples, how did he feel that he had just jumped out of that ghost place at the root and fell into a deeper pit?
Forget about the previous thing, after all, it's just a gossip, the pharmacist himself doesn't believe it, and there's no problem in saying it, this kind of gossip people like to spread the most, so it's done quite smoothly.
But this task
Looking at the scroll in his hand, and the five vials of silver-white liquid, Yakushi licked his lips, although he was not very old, he was also a ninja, so he could naturally tell what a terrifying thing it would be if the information about this thing was transmitted.
The most annoying thing is that the adult also prepared five copies of this liquid, according to the other party's request, these five liquids will fall into the hands of the five ninja villages, even if they can't all fall, they have to let at least three ninja villages get these magical liquids.
The stakes are a bit high.
"My lord said that the roots have been destroyed, and then he learned some interesting information from Danzo, such as the director of the Konoha Orphanage, the one named Yakushi Nonoyu." Shiori Uchiha said unhurriedly.
But the pupils of the medicine master shrank suddenly.
Yakushi Nonoyu? He knew the name too well, that's how his surname came to be the pharmacist, and the reason why he became a spy was because of that gentle man.
"I'll get this done." Yao Shidou's expression became firm, if there was anyone he was willing to give everything for in this world, then there was no doubt that he was the gentle person.
If it weren't for the pharmacist Ye Naiyu, Tuan Zang wouldn't have the ability to control him so easily, it can only be said that people are always easy to look forward and backward after they have bonds.
Shiori Uchiha nodded noncommittally, this medicine man's ability is still very outstanding, I have to say that Amamiya-sama is really a Bole who can select talents, and he can always discover some outstanding talents.
"By the way, the lord also said that after the mission is completed this time, you will be able to break away from Konoha, and Yakushi Ye Naiyu will also be picked up by the adult where you are going." Shiori Uchiha added.
Yakushidou nodded, he still trusted Amamiya Kenichi's words very much, because what the other party said was basically done, of course, he didn't have a choice at the moment.
There is only one way to go to the dark.
"Here's for you." Shiori Uchiha handed over a file bag, Yakushidou took it and looked at it, and then the whole person was stunned.
For a long time, a happy smile appeared on his face that was not commensurate with his age, and he looked at the photo in his hand, and the tears of laughter passed through the corners of his eyes without noticing.
Tears still fell from the picture, but he still held it tightly.
Shiori Uchiha took a sip of tea calmly, there was some envy in her eyes, Amamiya-sama in order to fulfill his promise to Yakushidou, but he personally set off from the land of snow and went to Konoha.
According to the strength of that adult, I guess it should have arrived by now, right?
I was lucky to follow that adult.
