"The radiation level has dropped. Laoji's radiation level has dropped."

Cheers rang out from outside the isolation ward. They had been treating Ji Xinghe for almost two months and finally saw the results they wanted to see.

"Fifty-nine thousand, already less than sixty thousand."

"Don't get too happy too early. We still need to see if there are any fluctuations. Previously, the radiation value of Lao Ji's body was constantly fluctuating around 90,000."

"How can I tell you the difference between 90,000 and 60,000? You can find out if you ask Xinxin."

"..."

The medical staff were in high spirits, and Ji Xinghe was in a good mood.

Judging from the data read from the testing equipment, the radiation value in his body has dropped significantly, which was originally a situation that he was very worried about.

If the 'radiation' disappears due to treatment, will I lose this power?

But in fact, the total amount of 'radiation' in his body has not decreased, but is actually more than before.

It used to fluctuate around 90,000. When the 'radiation' started to run rampant, the value would reach around 95,000. When he let the 'radiation' calm down, the value would drop to around 85,000.

Using this number to make sensory judgments, Ji Xinghe felt that the level of 'radiation' in his body had reached a level of one hundred thousand, which was more than the previous maximum.

But the detection equipment cannot detect that much.

In the isolation ward, Ji Xinghe stood in front of the testing equipment in a standing position, constantly aware of the changes in his body, especially the changes in 'radiation'.

If the 'radiation' in his body is set to be on the order of 100,000, then there are currently 41,000 'radiations' hidden in his cells.

It's not that he can intuitively see the 'radiation' hidden in the cells, but the feeling of Ji Xinghe, which he can't actually see.

The other fifty-nine thousand 'radiations' were swimming in his flesh and blood as before.

Let’s compare ‘radiation’ to students in school.

The 'radiation' in the violent state is rushing to the cafeteria to eat, the 'radiation' in the state of calming down in flesh and blood is in physical education class on the playground, and the 'radiation' hidden in the cells is in the classroom.

From the sky above the school, we can see the huge number of 'radiators' rushing towards the cafeteria to eat. Even if the principal wants to organize 'them' at this time, it will take some time and energy.

The "radiation" students who have classes on the playground are orderly in the chaos. As long as the physical education teacher blows the whistle, "they" will start to gather.

The 'radiation' in the classroom is completely invisible. Only the teacher knows that 'they' are in the classroom. This is also the most obedient state of 'them'.

So the testing instrument did not detect it.

So, 'radiation'/'qi' can delay the aging of the body because they are hidden in cells, thereby changing the rate of cell division, or increasing the number of times cells can divide?

Ji Xinghe had this conjecture.

Cells are the basic unit of human body structure and function. Starting from a fertilized egg, they continue to divide. When they grow to a certain number, they begin to differentiate and form tissues and organs.

The total number of cells in an adult is between forty and sixty trillion.

Human cells are constantly being generated and aged, and different cells have different life spans, such as white blood cells that only live for a few hours, and nerve cells that have a lifespan equivalent to the human body, that is, human neurons.

In addition to differences in life span, that is, cells, there are also differences in the number of times cells can divide.

When the number of divisions reaches the limit and new cells cannot be produced in the body, the human body begins to age and eventually dies.

Thinking of this information, Ji Xinghe noticed an important point, and he temporarily identified the radiation as Qi.

"Qi can enhance the body's strength, speed, and reaction speed. Are these related to the fact that qi can be hidden in neurons?"

"Then if my Qi can be hidden in the neurons and enhanced, the neural link technology used by the new mecha..."

This is actually what Ji Xinghe has always been worried about.

The neural link technology that is most suitable for him, but he cannot use it because of his old age and neurasthenia. It is really cruel to him.

Not only is it a matter of combat effectiveness, but also because he loves mechas.

He has loved Transformers since he was in elementary school. When he grew up, he never gave up his dream of building/catching one/many Transformers. When mechas appeared in the Federation, he, like many others, dreamed of becoming one.

A mecha warrior.

But because of family and responsibilities, he could only keep this dream deep in his heart.

There is no need to think too much about the future for the time being. Focusing on the present is the most important thing. Ji Xinghe continued to understand the changes in his body.

These changes are the result of his hard work these days. He doesn't know how to cultivate Qi, so he can only rely on his strong spiritual will to command the Qi in his body.

If you don't obey, you will be hungry.

Who can eat the nutrients in Ji Xinghe’s body if they want to?

If an orangutan faces anger like a teacher facing students, then when Ji Xinghe faces anger, he is like a general facing a group of students.

Not even recruits, just students.

One can imagine the pressure he can feel from the qi in his body.

I won't say which method is better, but from the perspective of discipline and obedience, Ji Xinghe's method is more efficient. The average quality of Qi that grows under this kind of pressure will be higher.

If they have average quality, if they are not killed by Ji Xinghe.

"It seems to be in a stable condition at the moment." Medical staff wearing protective clothing rushed in: "Old Ji, how do you feel? If possible, why don't you dig a wooden stake?"

"Yes, Lao Ji, every time you finished driving the wooden dummy before, your body's radiation value would fluctuate significantly. I hope it won't happen this time."

"If your physical condition is normal, don't take the shot. We are not in a hurry. Except for the fact that the radiation level is still over the standard, your body has recovered very well and has basically reached a normal state."

Nearly two months have passed, and the injuries suffered by Ji Xinghe's body have been basically healed.

This speed exceeded the expectations of all medical staff and expert teams, and gave Ji Xinghe a new nickname: Unscientific Ji Xinghe.

Another nickname corresponding to Ji Xinghe is "Scientific Ji Xinghe", which makes people wonder.

In fact, Ji Xinghe already has many nicknames.

There is no one in the world who does not know you. Ji Xinghe said that he is the king in this sentence, and he deserves it.

When billions of people know about it, nicknames are definitely indispensable, but there are not many that can be recognized and widely praised by most people.

If there was a ranking list of the number of nicknames, the nickname "Laoji" would definitely be at the top of the list.

It's true, and it's also a joke.

Many netizens on Azure Star even specially added a sentence because of Ji Xinghe’s nickname: Ji Xinghe, not Ba, everyone has a family.

…

"I'm fine, I can fight."

Ji Xinghe left the detection instrument, stood in front of the wooden dummy, and called softly: "Xingyue."

"Lord, I'm here."

This conversation did not avoid taboos for medical staff, because there was no need to avoid taboos, and it was purely a normal question-and-answer mechanism.

Even though the title of the lord is a bit strange, who at Base 5 doesn’t know Captain Shen Mu.

"Every time I hear the title Lord, I feel very strange."

The medical staff outside the isolation ward could hear the sounds inside the ward. They looked at Ji Xinghe who was about to start the fight and were not worried, because Ji Xinghe has always been able to give people trust.

"This must be Captain Shenmu's bad taste. It has absolutely nothing to do with Colonel Ji Xinghe, who is known as the 'Morning Star'."

Someone swore to tell the truth.

"Morning Star?" Some medical staff asked in surprise: "When did Lao Ji get this nickname again? What does it mean?"

""The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Dadong": There is Qiming in the east and Changgeng in the west."

"Can you please stop dragging me? Speak plainly."

"The morning star is the Venus in our Longzhou astronomy, and Colonel Ji Xinghe's mecha has Venus all over it, so isn't it very suitable?"

"It sounds very suitable, but why not Chang Geng Star? Aren't the Morning Star and Chang Geng Star both from Venus?"

"Because the morning star was also called Taibaijin in ancient times, and Taibaijin's status in our Longzhou Taoist mythology is only lower than that of the Three Pure Ones. He is an old god with childish face and white hair. This is in line with Colonel Ji Xinghe's age."

"Is your answer the same as what I asked? I asked why Lao Ji's nickname is not Chang Gengxing. Now that you said it, I want to ask why it is not Taibaijinxing."

The medical staff are actually very boring. Their mission is to treat Ji Xinghe, but the problem is that Ji Xinghe doesn't seem to need their treatment. He just needs them to operate the instruments for inspection. Ji Xinghe has learned to operate some of the instruments himself. Already.

There is no need for them, but they cannot leave. Fortunately, there is no war at Base 5. Although there are many injured soldiers who have been transferred, the medical resources are not tight.

“When Venus appears in the eastern sky in the early morning, it is called the ‘Morning Star’, and when it appears in the western sky at night, it is called the ‘Chang Geng Star’ or ‘Evening Star’, so it is called the Morning Star.”

"..."

"You are so stupid. The stars only shine at night. When dawn comes, they will end due to the laws of nature. However, the morning star can continue to shine in the sky. Do you think this is like Colonel Ji Xinghe, who ignores the aging of the human body? A natural law? Or, this is his law."

"You could have just said that earlier. There's so much nonsense."

"I said it was simple and direct, but you didn't understand. I said it more clearly. You said I talked too much, can we stop talking?"

"If you still have Lao Ji's nickname, or the meaning of the nickname, then we can chat a few more words."

"The morning star, Venus, is the brightest natural celestial body in the blue sky besides the sun and the moon. Therefore, I like the title of Colonel Ji Xinghe the most."

"What do you mean?"

"The war brought by the empire is like a dark night. In order to illuminate the world, we humans shine brightly. In the bright night sky, Colonel Ji Xinghe is the brightest star. Do you understand?"
