"How can we extend human lifespan? How can we live forever!"
Lu Zhiyu was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. He felt that no matter how good he was, he could not withstand the wash of time. Once his life span was up, he would still die. However, although he could add talents to his genes, It cannot extend its constraints and limits on lifespan, or it is not just the genetic lifespan limit. The most common cause of human death is organ failure.
If a person wants to overcome the limitations of lifespan, organ failure is the first step, and then comes the issues of cell lifespan and metabolism. If you want to truly live forever, you still don’t know how many roads you have to take!
Although Lu Zhiyu already has an accessory brain, this accessory brain is only for computing power. Lu Zhiyu must give directions and plans so that it can carry out calculations and expansion in a targeted manner and provide help. Lu Zhiyu, himself Also confused, the deputy brain can do nothing.
Lu Zhiyu has studied that there is a gene called FOXO3A in human DNA, which can regulate human lifespan. This mutated gene can affect and extend human lifespan. This gene is also called longevity. Genes only extend human lifespan to a reasonable limit, which can reach more than a hundred years, but there are limits. There are genes in the DNA of each species that control lifespan.
In addition, by observing human genes, Lu Zhiyu learned that humans have dozens of gene segments that can regulate human lifespan. Each control direction is different, but all have their limits, and they can only control human lifespan. His lifespan is maintained within the normal range. This kind of longevity may be a dream for ordinary people, but for Lu Zhiyu, it is completely meaningless.
"Eh? How did that insect queen live for hundreds or thousands of years without dying?"
Lu Zhiyu began to recall how the insect queen extended his lifespan, extending his life span of only about twenty years to a length that even Lu Zhiyu could not see the end of. Lu Zhiyu had seen the dead insect queens, Their lifespans have also reached more than seven hundred years. If they had not died due to failure in the war, I am afraid that this would still be far from reaching their lifespan limit.
This extends the original lifespan limit to dozens or hundreds of times. This is not only within the range of longevity and normal lifespan, but a qualitative change. It is a real means of immortality. Think about the life of the Zerg, it is really It's really scary. The research on genes far exceeds Lu Zhiyu's imagination.
"How did they do it? Think about it, think about it, deputy brain, collect all the observation records about the insect queen!"
"Out!"
"The genetic structure of the insect queen is like this. There doesn't seem to be a gene segment that controls lifespan!"
In Lu Zhiyu's mind, the intelligent assistant brain immediately summoned all the memories about the insect queen that he had observed, and then immediately opened his eyes: "The important thing is not to extend life, but to repair and maintain, and to modify genes. The essence of it!”
Lu Zhiyu's memory recovered little by little. The intelligent assistant brain in his mind flipped through all the information and carefully reviewed and inquired. Lu Zhiyu finally found what he wanted from the huge amount of information.
"Yes, no matter how you extend it, the lifespan of genes has its limit. Only through constant repair and maintenance, and keeping genes in an active state, can we stay young forever and make the body's machine run for a long time. Otherwise, even if genes have a long lifespan, the body's organs will gradually enter failure, and death will still be inevitable. Only through constant repair and maintenance of genes can youth and lifespan be fixed!"
This is the first step for the Zerg civilization, which extends the life of the Zerg Queen. However, the Zerg Queen still understands that this kind of immortality is still an illusion. A machine, no matter how carefully you repair and maintain it, will eventually die one day. It has reached the limit of use, so the insect queen's solution to this problem is to change the nature of the gene.
That's right, the body is likened to a machine. The machine was originally made of wood that is easily decayed. Then we should find a way to replace it with iron, steel, and alloy materials, essentially allowing it to experience No matter how long the years go by, no matter how harsh the environment, it cannot decay.
However, these Zerg races have only begun preliminary attempts. Although Lu Zhiyu has found some traces of this aspect from their genes, he knows that they have not taken a crucial step, and he is still far away from this aspect. Not even close.
What Lu Zhiyu currently has access to is just to repair and maintain the state of genes, which is enough to extend the life span to more than a thousand years. This is already enough, but Lu Zhiyu currently only has such an idea and wants to achieve his goal. , it is estimated that it will take a long time, but with direction and goals, time is like a toy in Lu Zhiyu’s hands!
Lu Zhiyu and Li Wei have been in a close relationship recently, and the two have entered into a heated relationship. Recently, Li Wei is interested in moving to Lu Zhiyu's house to live with Lu Zhiyu. It must be said that this is exactly what Lu Zhiyu likes. Lu Zhiyu's little secrets are basically hidden in the space castle, and it is impossible for Li Wei to discover anything.
As the saying goes, Lu Zhiyu is in a good mood recently. He eats and drinks well all day long. He hopes that Li Wei will move in with him. However, this is only a matter of time. If Li Wei wants to come over, she still has to move. Ah, things are troublesome, and Lu Zhiyu lives far away from the hospital, and Li Wei doesn't have a driver's license. If he comes here, Lu Zhiyu will have to pick him up and drop him off every day, etc.
Lu Zhiyu was busy in the store that day, playing with the cats and dogs in the pet store, bathing the dogs, and combing their hair. Lu Zhiyu quite liked these small animals, or in other words, he liked the beauty of them. Lu Zhiyu always feels the miracle of life when he sees every living being. The deeper he studies genes and biological sciences, the deeper this feeling becomes in his heart.
However, recently, the little witch Xia Fan often comes to Lu Zhiyu’s shop to harass her. Every time she comes there, there is a lot of excitement. The cats and dogs in Lu Zhiyu’s shop often suffer from Xia Fan’s cruel treatment. This little girl often Being unruly to Lu Zhiyu in front of Xiao Le made Lu Zhiyu a little bit at a loss. However, Lu Zhiyu didn't feel any resistance or irritation. Instead, he felt a little happy with it. This made Lu Zhiyu feel that he It’s as if he was born with the attributes of a scumbag!
At noon, a car parked at the entrance of Lu Zhiyu's shop. A man wearing glasses and a suit walked out. As soon as he entered the store, he looked around and found Lu Zhiyu: "Old Lu, Old Lu , come here quickly and get in the car!"
"Wang Yi? Why are you here today?" It was Wang Yi, a classmate from elementary school whom Lu Zhiyu had asked for help before. The person who worked at the research institute also asked him to buy equipment!
