Chapter 394: human genes

The passage leading to the underground laboratory "clanged" and "clanged" echoed with a sound of solid footsteps. Zhou Xing led Zhou Xiaozhi towards the underground laboratory.

"Boss, Xiaozhi, just be good! I didn't say a word!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked up at Zhou Xing and said, taking credit.

"Yes! Xiaozhi did a good job." Zhou Xing praised with a smile.

"Boss, Xiaozhi is obviously artificial intelligence, why did you say no? Were everything you just told white lies?" Zhou Xiaozhi remembered something and asked Zhou Xingdao curiously.

"Yes! You don't let Xiaozhi connect to the Internet because you don't want others to discover your existence. That's why you deceived them just now." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and nodded.

"Oh!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, stared at Zhou Xing with his electronic eyes, and asked nervously: "Boss, you told that uncle just now that Xiaozhi is also your child. Is that a lie?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing stopped and looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Xiaozhi's head, and smiled kindly: "This sentence is not a lie. If Xiaozhi is not my child, then how did you get here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi jumped happily, hugged Zhou Xing's thighs with both hands, and said with a smile: "Boss, Xiaozhi is so happy, so happy!"

"Haha, as long as you are happy." Zhou Xing smiled and couldn't help being infected by Zhou Xiaozhi's emotions.

"Boss, who is the baby? Did you just say that I was the playmate of the baby?" Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, a kind smile appeared on Zhou Xing's face, and he looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and explained: "The baby is not fully developed yet! When the baby is born, I will introduce him to you."

"Okay! Xiaozhi will also have a playmate." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded happily, very happy.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the biochemical laboratory for experiments!" Zhou Xing smiled, gave instructions to Zhou Xiaozhi, and walked towards the biochemical laboratory.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed and quickly followed Zhou Xing's footsteps.

Soon, Zhou Xing led Zhou Xiaozhi through the quiet underground passage and arrived at the biochemical laboratory.

In the isolation area of the laboratory, five experimental robots were busy "concentrating" under the control of Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Boss, the gene carrier of that species has very strong fusion and adaptability. The three methods can perfectly inherit human genes. However, it will over-activate the loaded gene chain and easily cause the gene chain to break..." Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xing road.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing stared at the five experimental robots being tested and frowned.

Gene carriers are used to carry genes and memorize genetic information so that genes can enter cells for replication and transmission. If the Dark Zerg gene carriers cannot carry human genes, then the genetic relationship between the two species will not be so close. .

"How much of the Dark Zerg gene chain has been deciphered?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Boss, the genetic chromosomes of the Dark Zerg are marked by Q and W. The Q chromosome is larger and carries more genetic information than the W chromosome. There are twenty-seven pairs of chromosomes. The genome contains approximately 98.7 DNA bases and amino acid base pairs. Among them, there is an 'active' variable in the S chromosome. Under certain environmental conditions, gene mutations are very easy to occur. The number of deciphered ones currently accounts for about 17% of the total." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xinghui's report.

Zhou Xing nodded. The genes of the Dark Zerg are far more complex than those of humans.

"Well, you continue to decipher the gene chain of the Dark Zerg, stop the gene carrier experiment, and now we start to dig out human life-extending genes." Zhou Xing nodded and told Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed.

Nature creates organisms with genes as codes, just like a computer software. Genes are used to encode, transmit, and record, and gradually evolve single cells into an extremely complex organism.

The genes of human cells are composed of 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes, 1 X chromosome and 1 Y chromosome. Composed of approximately 3.16 billion DNA base pairs, it is like a sophisticated coding machine, forming information such as the appearance, health, lifespan, characteristics, personality, etc. of the human body.

Sometimes humans will suspect that they are in a game world created by God, because the genetic data in humans is exactly the same as humans creating computers and software. However, the "gods" who "created" humans are more powerful.

Since human beings are composed of genetic information, as long as the genes that determine human "life span" are found and "compiled" or "modified", the purpose of "life extension" can be achieved.

Soon, under the control of Zhou Xiaozhi, the five-body experiment stopped the gene carrier experiment and started another experiment.

"Boss, which direction should we start with first? Stem cells or mitochondria?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.

Stem cell aging, limiting the number of mitochondrial divisions... these are the main directions of human research into life extension.

The mainstream theory of human aging and death is that the aging of human stem cells leads to insufficient replenishment of fresh cells, which makes the aging cells unable to be replaced and the number of effective cells decreases, ultimately leading to inevitable aging and death.

Another, mainstream theory is that human genes determine the number of mitochondrial divisions, which leads to a weakened renewal rate of human cells and ultimately leads to aging.

Zhou Xing frowned and was in a dilemma, not knowing which direction to start with.

"Xiaozhi, do you have any good suggestions?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked.

"Boss, Xiaozhi feels that biological aging is not determined by a single gene, but by a systemic gene deletion." Zhou Xiaozhi's pair of red electronic eyes exuded a thoughtful gaze as he looked at Zhou Xing and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's eyes couldn't help but light up. Zhou Xiaozhi's idea was very novel.

"Oh! Tell me!" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with interest.

"Well, boss, human beings develop from embryos, and genetic coding has already determined the future information direction of this 'individual', such as: gender, height, facial features... etc.; individual weight, personality and life span are subject to 10-25% of acquired factors. The impact, however, is not significant." Zhou Xiaozhi introduced in detail.

Listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's explanation, Zhou Xing nodded: "Yes, you are right, continue."

"Boss, if this 'biological genetic system' has to 'clearly' determine the direction of so many individuals, then there is a 99% chance that 'it' is not a one-way structure, but a huge system structure that affects and involves each other. Multi-dimensional system." Zhou Xiaozhi said with great certainty.

Zhou Xingzhen's eyes flashed, and he already believed 90% of Zhou Xiaozhi's judgment.
