Chapter 571 Life science and technology, big chapter
The expert company announced the privatization of a planet for the second time!
The first time is Venus, everyone can understand; but what is the reason for this time? Discovering protoplasm! Some people who know it are jealous of the first time!
Yes, the expert company does not keep it confidential - in fact, there is no way to keep it confidential. There are so many people in the expedition team, and some people will even publish information on the Internet regularly. Even if the ordinary communication speed is normal, one month is enough! Even if the expert company blocks the news, as long as the expedition personnel return to the earth, they will not even have to think about it, and it will inevitably be exposed and let the whole country know. Instead of being passively exposed, it is better to actively publish it, at least to win a good reputation for yourself. Whether it is ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, reputation is an invisible monument. You can't kill all the expedition teams for this little thing. If you do this, Zhang Jingyuan's mind will be truly infiltrated. He has practiced himself, and that little thing is not at all eyeballs!
The development road of expert companies is still a long way to go, and the construction of credibility cannot be a bit careless. Perhaps, it is just a little careless and carefully establishing credibility for more than 20 years, which will collapse within a few days. The road ahead is still long, and the future development is more exciting. There are better things in the space outside!
But for the world, it can be said that it caused a thousand waves. The next day, on February 4, 2068, the phone number of the master company was blown up, and the network was even crowded. The most serious thing is that the country, all kinds of relationships were directly contacted by Zhang Jingyuan himself, and the rest of the master company's large and small middle and senior management.
In order to cope with the madness around the world, the expert company simply announced that it will hold the first scientific and technological conference after human unification on February 10. The conference discusses the research of life and discussion of human health; especially in terms of methods to extend human lifespan - in fact, the last one is the subject.
This is a truly global conference and the first global science and technology conference for human beings. More than 2,000 life laboratories in all sizes around the world have received notifications. Some of these life research laboratories include primate research, some of them are microbial research, some of them are reptile research, some of them are marine biological research, and even genetic research and human lifespan research.
The entire life research is one of the largest research systems in the world. After simple statistics, the expert company issued 2,176 invitations and received all feedback; and the attendees came only with more than 20,000 people - some relatively large research institutions, even hundreds of people!
Especially for the national side, the three laboratories that were established after unification were integrated, integrating research institutions in traditional territories, namely: the National Laboratory of Genetics and Evolution, the National Laboratory of Microorganisms and Viruses, and the National Laboratory of Life. Among them, genetics and evolution are mainly responsible for the research on genes and other aspects; the Microorganisms and Viruses can be understood by literal meaning; the Life Laboratory is the top and comprehensive laboratory, but it tends to research on mammals, especially humans, including aging research.
On the 5th, the entire earth was in full bloom. Some people say that the era of the improvement of the overall life span of human beings is about to come. Of course, this is the effect of invincible blowing - in fact, the answer given by the real scientific community is: theoretically feasible; science is rigorous and will not give a clear answer before it is truly verified. However, this cannot stop people's yearning.
But in terms of the country, it is a surprise. With the help of such information, the country quickly promotes the integration and digestion of globalization. To complete a great power that covers the entire earth, it is a huge and complicated task. Racial conflicts, religious conflicts, conflicts of beliefs and concepts, historical problems, etc., all need to be considered one by one, including legal provisions, time difference, geographical environment, etc. Fortunately, China now has time to do it and is improving little by little. However, if you have such an opportunity, you will not let it go. The President also has ambition: to do more things that benefit the country and the people as much as possible, at least you must leave it in history and give it a thumbs up.
That is, under the needs and promotion of the country, the first human scientific research conference, the Life Research Association, responded a bit sensational or even exaggerated. On the Internet, as long as you search for the corresponding keywords, the first one is this: whether it is microorganisms, genes, life, etc., even if you search for Venus, you can jump out of this link.
Such a sensational thing certainly attracted the attention of this turbulent world. Even the somewhat dissatisfied German Empire personnel had to take the initiative to apply for participation: no one can survive health or even longevity.
With the exciting eyes of the world, the first scientific conference after the unification of humanity came late - many people counted the days little by little by little by little by little by little by little; the first discussion was life.
On the 10th, the traffic jam around the master company was severe, and more than 100,000 people registered for the participants were already included. From top scientific and technological institutions, to college laboratories, to some college clubs, etc., the master company opened its arms, and any serious personnel could enter, or even temporarily participate, and interested college students were welcomed. In order to promote, the country set up a special reporter area to report the process to the world at any time.
The benefits of world unity are reflected for the first time. Science no longer distinguishes between regions and no longer restricts patents; and the slogans of the country are equal, at least the slogan is so. Therefore, some research institutions that have never been heard of on the Internet before have jumped out. These research institutions are often top-notch; even many deadly research institutions in the international community are part of such invisible research institutions. Too many research institutions serve the country and the military industry.
For example, the United States and Russia each have a life research institution, and what they are studying is superman. Yes, real society and movies often have too many similarities. They use rays, genetic engineering, machinery, etc. to study supermans that are only found in movies, and have achieved good results.
In the open air, there is no way to build large-scale stereo projection equipment at a low cost, and it is just a report discussion meeting. It is enough to simply plan the display screen. However, for the scale of 100,000 people, this report display screen is divided into one main screen and 100 sub-screens. Each thousand people share a screen, and each screen is 100 meters in size. The main screen is very small, only ten meters in size, and is viewed by the speaker and important front-end guests. Of course, the main screen is a three-dimensional projection screen.
The President was full of enthusiasm and personally opened the prelude to the conference. There were no long words and simply congratulations on the unity of the whole world, which was conducive to the progress of mankind. He expressed his affirmation of the first Global Science and Technology Conference, expressed his gratitude to the expert companies, and promised that those who performed outstandingly at this conference would receive a free research bonus of 1 billion yuan allocated by the state, and at least ten kilograms of protoplast research specimens promised by the expert companies.
At the beginning of the meeting, it was pushed to "gaochao". The subject of the discussion meeting, the significance of research, and the prospect of the future have raised the meeting to an unimaginable position. Later people commented: This meeting is not only a symbol of the unity of the new world, but also a symbol of the rapid rise of mankind. It laid the most solid foundation for later life sciences.
It was Zhang Jingyuan's turn to speak, and he said in one sentence: The conference began. First, I would like to invite Qian Changyong, President of the National Academy of Life Sciences, to speak. (Speaking nonsense takes up a lot of words. If you talk too much nonsense, you will probably be scolded O(∩_∩)O haha~)
On the huge screen, Qian Changyong's information was simultaneously displayed: Qian Changyong, a real expert, was studying the aging of life. The achievements were: using drugs to inhibit the reduction rate of gene telomeres, without affecting the quality of life. Through thousands of experiments, it was determined that the life of guinea pigs was extended by one tenth; and this was also an important research branch of Huaxia gene agents.
Qian Changyong is now gray-haired, but his body is particularly strong. He has obviously taken genetic medicines. The country has always been very generous to these top scientists. Moreover, according to the news obtained by Zhang Jingyuan, with the unification of the whole world and the reduction of technical thresholds, genetic medicines have made great progress in terms of quality and output. However, for the price offered by the country, the expert company is grateful to the expert company - a small potion actually requires a No. 3 engine. With practice in hand, Zhang Jingyuan said no with confidence.
Of course, such a thing cannot affect the relationship between the two parties. With the strength of the master company, the country cannot do whatever it wants. Not to mention, the country is different from the master company: the master company is Zhang Jingyuan's one-man show potion, and he actually asked for a Tiger Danger No. 3 engine as a payment price; Zhang Jingyuan, for this, Xie Bumin.
Over the years, the master company's own biological research has also made great progress, not to mention that there is practice in cheating. However, such behavior does not affect the relationship between the master company and the country. After all, the master company is Zhang Jingyuan's one-man show; however, the country is a comprehensive collective of interests! Even the president of the country can only represent a small number of people at most.
"Hehe, everyone, I am Qian Changyong, the president of the International Academy of Life Sciences. Of course, because I have been serving the country before, you may not know me, but I think it is still trustworthy to be the head of the latest world's top life laboratory." The old expert made a small joke, which made the atmosphere in the venue much more lively.
"First of all, I'm responsible for researching here to extend human life span from the perspective of cellular and genes.
Perhaps, when many people think of extending their lifespan, the first thing they think of is personal immortality. But I want to criticize this selfish view here.
In the eyes of our researchers, extending life is a necessary component technology for civilization. With the development of social sciences, the existing lifespan of human beings seriously restricts the development of science.
Generally speaking, an excellent scientist, a more genius, only has a real scientific foundation at around 30 years old, but most of them do not have to be forty years old. After the age of sixty, as the human body functions decline, scientists will have to give up their beloved careers.
Some people may say that some people are already top researchers in their twenties. But I am talking about scientists, not researchers. Many people don’t understand why scientists are not researchers. It’s very simple, because scientists are exploring unknown fields; while researchers are studying and enriching known technologies.
Therefore, in the field of scientists, we do not recognize that so-called researchers can only truly enter the palace of scientists and be truly considered human elites. Therefore, most people are about forty years old. Because of enough accumulation, innovation, and taking their own path, they can only be considered scientists.
Then, after the age of 60, as the human body functions decay, the thinking speed slows down and the thinking activity decreases, a peak scientist will enter a path of self-sufficiency. At this point, it can be said that this scientist is no longer suitable for the field of science and technology; at this time, scientists should change their jobs and become mentors.
But you can also see that it takes forty years to train a scientist, but the golden time is only 20 years. It is obvious that this seriously restricts the development of human science and technology.
Therefore, improving human life, especially the lives of top scientists, has an immeasurable effect on the progress of civilization.
And this is also the purpose of Tian’s science and technology conference.
Next. Let me report on the research results of the top life laboratories affiliated to the National Academy of Life Sciences.
So far, we have found through research that aging of life is reflected in the changes of cells; and the changes of cells mainly include the following aspects: cell activity, shortening of gene telomeres, oxidation of genes by free oxygen groups, composition and activity of protoplasts in cells, etc., and even the number of cell divisions.
This is a comprehensive problem, and now we have solved two problems. One is the shortening of the time of gene telomeres, and the other is the reduction of oxidized genes. Many people will ask, what is the mechanism of action of gene agents to prolong life?
Today, I am here to disclose the mechanism of action of Huaxia gene agents. First of all, it is an inhibitory enzyme that can inhibit the shortening of the time of gene telomeres. Most of the people present are scientific researchers. They all know what telomeres are. If you don’t know what telomeres are, please check the Internet, and it will not be explained here. The second mechanism of action of Huaxia gene agents is an active enzyme, which can promote the communication of genes between cells and supplement gene fragments that are missing or destroyed by free oxygen groups.
The human body is a comprehensive living body. As long as the body has a certain activity gene and can piece together a set of completed gene sequences, then theoretically this gene agent will take effect. However, due to the difficulty of extracting two enzymes, the direct cost of each gene agent is as high as 1 billion yuan, and it is seriously insufficient.
Each genetic medicine can extend the life of people before the age of 60 for about 30 to 50 years. It depends on the status of life, the time of taking it, etc. Here we emphasize that it is not the better. If you are too young, the genetic medicine will not play any role and will increase the body's resistance. Of course, it is not okay to be too old, and the foundation has been damaged."
When we arrived here, some ordinary people were shocked. The world was revealed for the first time. It turned out that the current scientific state was so advanced that humans could already prolong their lives.
However, for scientific researchers participating in the Science and Technology Conference, such genetic agents are not difficult to understand, because many people have taken them or injected them. Due to the technological blockade, the achievements made by different countries are different.
Qian Changyong's speech did not end, "I will talk about the next generation of life-extending technologies and concepts that we are starting to study. First of all, there are the following methods for studying life-extending in the world:
First, direct genetic transformation, using some excellent genes in nature, such as lighthouse jellyfish, etc., to fundamentally change the lifespan of human beings.
Second, cloning the human body, using stem cells to generate a new body, and then transplanting the brain. This study has two small branches. Considering that the brain can also age, there are the following branches.
A computer branch is to implant chips into normal human brains to record all behavioral habits, etc.; when the body dies, the chips can be taken out and transplanted into the cloned body. However, the problem of consciousness has not been solved yet. So far, we have not yet achieved considerable research results on what consciousness, habits, etc. are.
The second branch is the brain transplantation, which uses the method of brain transplantation and free replication to transplant the brain. For example, we divide the brain into 100 pieces, each transplantation, so that consciousness and memory can be transferred step by step, and through metabolism, the synchronous update of memory and brain tissue is completed simultaneously. This is very operational, but it takes a full ten years of transplantation time, and the cost price is as high as 10 billion yuan.
As for cloning the human body, in theory, as many stem cells are stored, you can clone it as many human bodies. When a person is born, he can safely store at least two thousand stem cells - in other words. After this technology is mature, you will have two thousand lives.
Third, directly change the life form and transform the body into a collection of computers and machinery. However, no breakthrough has been made in the study of human will and is temporarily undesirable.
But similarly, this method also has a small branch, that is, to take substances containing a certain proportion of metal ions, replace the body's body from the perspective of cells, from bones to skin, and slowly replace it, and finally form a metal life. At present, it is still in the theoretical research stage.
Fourth, cancer cell research. Humans themselves have a magical gene, cancer gene. The normal number of cell divisions is limited; but cancer cells can theoretically divide infinitely. However, cancer cells cannot control them to this day. However, theoretically, they are also feasible.
Similarly, there is a branch of cancer research, which is radiation, looking for excellent genes for mutations. However, this method has not yet obtained effective gene fragments.
Fifth, energy determines the study of life level; this theory was proposed by the founders and team of master companies more than 20 years ago. After more than 20 years of research, we found that this statement is correct; and if we continue to study this direction, we may develop the legendary practice system. Haha, it is a bit exaggerated.
Of course, it is now discovered that using appropriate magnetic energy and electric field energy to stimulate cells can indeed prolong the cell's activity time. At present, it is still under theoretical research."
This time, I really shocked my friends. Many reporters were surprised to see the camera falling to the ground, but they still didn't realize it. Too many ideas made ordinary people dare not think about it. For example, cloning human body technology, 2,000 lives! Even if each life is 60 years or 2,000 lives, it will be 120,000 years!!! 120,000 years! It is the time since the birth of a true modern human being!
Also, those who know the lighthouse jellyfish are equally surprised. This is a life that can grow, degenerate, and grow repeatedly, and in theory, is immortal!
In addition, the idea of replacing the brain is terrifying! But I have to say that this is the easiest way to achieve in modern technology. The chip can only record data, but as a person's core: personality and thoughts, consciousness and habits, etc., these illusory things cannot be recorded. However, replacing the brain can theoretically be done. Replace part of the aging brain into the clonal cavity of the human brain, and copy all the information carried by this part of the brain into the blank brain tissue; then let the process be repeated, and finally, a person can be completely replaced by soft copying methods. However, this takes ten years, which is equivalent to redevelopment of the brain.
Qian Changyong finally summarized: "At present, the most feasible thing is the brain replacement + cloning method. Because such a method can copy a person's complete consciousness, personality, etc. in the past. Of course, the premise is that the current theory is correct, and this theory is: all human behaviors are determined by the brain. Fortunately, for the time being, this theory is valid.
However, this method also has a fatal weakness, that is, the amount of knowledge in the brain. As life extends, the amount of knowledge becomes larger and larger, and the time for replacing the brain (that is, the brain redevelopment) will become longer and longer. When the development time is equal to the time of life, it is the time when life ends.
Of course, we have many theories to solve this problem. For example, hypnosis, forgetting some of the memories and recording irrelevant memoirs into the computer. Perhaps, thousands of years later, our technology has already developed alternatively, or there will definitely be other breakthroughs.
Now, the research direction of the National Life Laboratory is human cloning and genetic technology.
What we have achieved now is that we can already transfer memory through chips. Now, a chip can be implanted into the human body, and in a year, all the memories of a person can be recorded; then the chip is taken out and a new cloned brain is implanted, and the person can be resurrected.
However, this approach has two great disadvantages. The first is what is mentioned earlier, what is copied is only memory, things that can be digitized; while those illusory personalities, tempers, personality thinking, etc. cannot be copied.
Second, the chip implanted in the brain will be entangled by nerves. Once the chip is removed, the original living body will inevitably die in the brain.
In other words, every time a chip is transplanted, a person has to go through a death process. According to the current experiment of mice, life can only endure up to three transplants, and then it will collapse due to fear.
Moreover, after transplantation, due to fear, he has a bad temper and does not have the original peace at all. The specific reasons are still being analyzed. The theory believes that the new clone is a piece of white paper, which is very susceptible to the influence of the original memory and evolves in an unpredictable direction; affected by the fear of death, it will eventually develop in the direction of tyranny.
However, for this, we are conducting the next step of research, chip information synchronization method. It is to synchronize the chip into the brains of cloners and normal people, and information is transmitted simultaneously, so that cloners have a certain amount of time to completely simulate and learn. However, this can only be regarded as a replica, not a normal person himself.
In addition, in genetic research, the achievements we have made temporarily are just today's genetic agents. More things only stay in the theoretical stage.
My report is over. Do you have any questions?"
"Hello, Professor Qian, I am Hubensteinis from the Laboratory of Life Sciences in North America. He was the former president of the United States, Canada and Mexico. I want to say that you just said that you used cancer genes to create wireless split cells, and we are also doing it. However, through tens of thousands of experiments, we found that the cancer gene itself is uncontrollable, and the cancer gene that has been controlled and improved does not have the characteristics of wireless splitting, it is just a useless gene fragment.
I would like to ask, is your laboratory facing such a problem now, and if so, how to solve it?"
Qian Changyong: "Hello, Professor Hubensteinis. We have also encountered this problem. The method we took is to imitate. In Chinese language, it is to copy and draw cats. We scan the structure of the cancer gene, and then use other bases to directly spell artificial genes from the molecular level. Now, theories are still being improved.
However, I think after the conference, we can collaborate on research.”
Hubenstenis's eyes widened: "Wow! We just thought about transformation, but forgot to imitate. Okay, after the meeting, we will find an opportunity to communicate. This time, all 140 scientists in our core have been present."
Afterwards, each research laboratory reported its own research reports, from genetic modification, life foundation transformation, cloning, mechanical replacement, etc., various fantasies and various strange theories, which took turns to be staged. Some even proposed to use silicon to replace carbon-based modifications, which made the reporters shout: This world is so strange...
Too many people can no longer think!
Chapter completed!
