There was darkness in the depths of the ocean, and a glowing figure was standing in front of a sleeping black faucet, holding a large reflective syringe in his hand and piercing it, sucking out a tube full of black blood.
He grabbed the faucet and forced it to fly to the sea. He took out a small bucket and squeezed the black blood from the syringe into the bucket. Then he inserted it under the faucet's eyelid and drew out another tube. Repeatedly, Chen Xia took ten tubes and felt almost the same.
.
If you draw too much, you are afraid that the black dragon will notice it. When the hatred is too full, the black dragon will not be able to be subdued by him.
Seeing one-tenth of the black blood in the bucket flowing, Chen Xia was happy and prepared to take it back to the storage space. Then he thought about it and wanted to put the dragon in it. The black dragon would definitely be furious when he found the blood in the bucket, and even
If he knocks it over, his blood will be in vain.
After thinking about it, Chen Xia simply put the bucket in his left hand and grabbed the dragon head. With a thought in his mind, the fifteen-meter-long black dragon floating on the sea by Chen Xia's horns just disappeared.
"The storage space can indeed hold a dragon. There is a lot of meat in my storage space, which is all for it to eat. Keeping it for a period of time should build some familiarity. However, such a big dragon breathes more oxygen, so I have to move the space from time to time.
Just turn on the ventilation."
"Catching the dragon went relatively smoothly this time. Thanks to the dragon hammer, it was still effective. The three thousand yuan was not wasted. No, the steel materials only cost three thousand, so six thousand in total."
Seeing the black dragon lying in the storage space with no sign of waking up yet, Chen Xia carried the bucket and flew back towards the way he came.
After arriving at the Jiangzhong City Laboratory Building, Chen Xia saw Dr. Kong, Wang Hui and the others lowering their heads to study on various instruments.
Dr. Kong and Wang Hui were fascinated by their research. When someone reminded them, they raised their heads. They saw Chen Xia holding a small red bucket in his hand. There was something black in it. It should be some kind of liquid material, but it was definitely not blood. There was no blood.
So dark.
Dr. Kong raised his head and suddenly felt an unpleasant smell in his nose. His expression remained unchanged, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into strips with a smile. He smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, what is this?"
"Boss, you smell so fishy. Did you go fishing?" Wang Hui was relatively straightforward and covered her nose in disbelief.
A strong fishy smell came from Chen Xia's body. They had only smelled this kind of fishy smell from fishmongers, and the smell from fishmongers in wet markets would not be so strong.
The key point is that the boss's clothes are clean and don't look like they are stained with fishy smell.
Chen Xia smiled and said: "I just went fishing in the sea, and there is a bit of a smell. It should go away when I go back and change clothes. I won't talk about it now. I have brought you good things, which are definitely the best materials for research."
"What is it?"
"This is it...see, it's black."
Chen Xia placed the barrel on the table next to her and pointed at the black sticky substance inside. Wang Hui came over to look at it and sniffed with her small nose, but couldn't smell anything. This was strange, what could be so black?
, no taste yet?
Looking at the dragon blood here, Chen Xia was very excited. This was dragon blood. If he hadn't already been practicing alchemy, he was afraid that taking these things would cause immeasurable consequences to his body. He wanted to drink some of it.
Taste.
Thinking about it, there shouldn't be any problem, but he still wanted to be cautious. After all, the blood of some creatures was harmful to the human body.
Dragon blood should be a treasure. In the novel, many people who drink dragon blood will have their cultivation level skyrocketed. Anyway, Chen Xia won't take the risk. Dr. Kong and the others will do research. If they really can come up with something good through this research, then that's okay.
Worth it.
"This is……"
"You don't need to worry about what it is, Dr. Kong. You go and study it and see what the difference is. I'll just sit here for a while."
Chen Xia wanted to wait for the results, so she ordered to go down.
Wang Hui and Dr. Kong didn't do ink. One of them used a syringe to suck a little bit, then put it on a glass surface and pressed it with another piece of glass to flatten the blood pressure of the dragon. Then they observed the ingredients inside through scientific instruments.
After a moment of burning incense, the entire laboratory was boiling.
All the researchers, Wang Hui, and Dr. Kong gathered around the instrument and took a deep breath.
Because a powerful cell that is different from humans and marine creatures was found in the black thing. This active cell reproduces very quickly and is very powerful. In addition, there seems to be an electromagnetic wave inside.
At first, Dr. Kong thought he had seen it wrong. After continuous analysis, he determined that it was a combination of blood components, but the activity of cells and some tissues inside was terrifying.
They are generally larger and stronger than humans. Dr. Kong tried to use some cells separated from them by toxic bacteria to fight, and found that the cells in the blood directly swallowed them and destroyed them.
When faced with this kind of bacteria, humans can basically only be eliminated. Even Chen Xia's cells cannot be so powerful.
"Dr. Kong, how is your research going? Have you made any new discoveries?"
Chen Xia asked curiously.
Only then did Dr. Kong and others raise their heads, and their expressions changed from shocked expressions to infinite emotion.
"Does Mr. Chen know anything about cells and genes?" Dr. Kong asked.
Chen Xia shook his head. This was just a blank piece of paper for him and he definitely didn't understand much. Although he had seen some of it when he was studying, he only had a superficial understanding of it.
Dr. Kong then introduced a series of their findings to Chen Xia.
He looked serious and spoke with confidence, and then said: "Let's do some science first. Human cell activity determines the length of human life. Cells have division times and limits. Most cells in the human body can generally divide 50 to 60 times, which means they can reproduce the most.
60 generations. If the number is reached, you will face death, and the life span of each cell is only 2.4 years, so in theory, the life span of a human being is 100 to 150 years old."
"100 to 150 years old? Nowadays, it is difficult for a normal life span to reach 100 years old. This doesn't seem right in theory."
Chen Xia was a little confused. Although he lived a long life, he was different from normal people. According to current observations, it is extremely rare for people to live a hundred years.
"So it's in theory!"
Dr. Kong smiled and said: "This has something to do with people's work and rest, life patterns, emotions, and the lives of men and women."
After all, Dr. Kong is an expert in this field. He said: "Normally speaking, human lifespan is indeed that long, but due to staying up late, diet, stress, the most important of which is that modern men and women live too frequently, the lifespan is reduced. Chen
Sir, let me tell you this."
"There are many cells in the human body, and the old cells before each cell divide will gradually become smaller in size, function and activity. All functions will decline, and the new cells that divide will not be able to keep up with the functions of the first generation.
Cells, so the more they divide, the worse the quality of the cells. And men and women living too much will accelerate this cell division."
"That is to say, the vitality of the cells is not as good as the previous generation. This is reflected in the continuous decline of various organ functions in the body, and the person ages until death."
"According to current experiments, cells obtained from newborns to fifteen years old can be cultured outside for 20 to 40 generations, while cells cultured from adults can be cultured for 10 to 30 generations.
This means that the life span and number of cell divisions of people at different ages are significantly different. As people get older, the number of cells left after cell division indicates how much time the person has left to live.
It can be said that the number of cells is the life span of the human body. Life span is related to the number of cell generations. For example, the average life span of a turtle is 175 years old, and the highest number of cell generations is 90 to 125. The average life span of mice is 3.5 years, and the number of cell divisions is 14 to 28 generations. Culture
The more, the longer life.”
Chen Xia nodded thoughtfully: "Then what determines the upper limit of the number of cell divisions?"
Dr. Kong said: "It is the strength of the cell, the number of times it can divide, and the genetic program for lifespan and aging is written in the DNA sequence of the cell nucleus. The program is the telomere, and its length is the number of instructions in the program.
, determines the aging rate and life span of the species.
The more errors there are in cell replication, the faster the aging process. The more cells divide, the smaller the cells become and their vitality becomes worse. People will no longer be able to reproduce after 50 generations, and they will no longer have fertility.
But if you can delay the division process of each generation of cells and reduce the number of divisions, it will extend human life in disguise. This is also the reason why people who mature earlier will age faster and die faster.
Just one less chance, and the fewer chances, the shorter your lifespan will be.
Exercising and eating a healthy diet will enhance cell activity and also delay the interval between cell divisions.
These programs are written in DNA, and the ones that record these things are called telomeres. People with higher renewal rates are more likely to develop cancer. Human life is like a barrel, depending on its shortcomings."
Chen Xia generally understood.
"Dr. Kong, since turtle cells have a long lifespan, is it possible to combine turtle cells with human cells? Wouldn't it be possible to extend human lifespan?"
Of course, Chen Xia knew this was impossible, but still asked casually.
Dr. Kong explained: "Fusion cells cannot survive for a long time. When the cells are cultured, forced fusion will cause gene conflict and death. So there are limitations."
"Then what is the current capacity of cells in the blood to divide?"
"The most amazing thing we just discovered in the blood is that the cells here are more active than ordinary people, are larger in size, have strong phagocytic power, and have long-term vitality. At present, we still need to pass tests on the ability to divide, and it will not be completed in a day or two.
However, it can be observed that the vitality is tenacious, much stronger than Mr. Chen's. Preliminary inference is that cells with this strength can reproduce for at least five thousand generations. There is also a long interval between cell divisions, which will continue to extend life. If so calculated, the source of this blood is the main body
, can live at least tens of thousands of years."
"Mr. Chen, where did you find this blood? The world we live in currently does not have such horrific blood."
Dr. Kong, Wang Hui and a group of scientific researchers looked at Chen Xia eagerly, feeling that the blood was terrifying, but Chen Xia seemed more mysterious.
Where did he find such a thing?
Last time they obtained the blood of a plesiosaur, and they still don't know where he got it. Now he has produced such horrific blood. It's so terrifying.
Chen Xia avoided this topic.
"Dr. Kong, if this kind of cells can fuse with the human body, people will definitely live longer! Is there any way to break through the fusion barrier?"
"This... is more difficult! Unless the two coexist at the source of blood, this kind of successful fusion will be possible."
Dr. Kong shook his head. This is a scientific problem. It is difficult to solve.
Chen Xia was filled with many doubts.
But he understood cell division, that is, the more he divides, the faster he dies. But if the upper limit of division is more, the lifespan will be longer. In this way, his cell division is already very powerful.
