Chapter 594 The Secret of Immortality
Hearing Amber’s words, Saleh’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Amber, you mean that they want to use the things in this institute to extend the life of the critically ill emperor?"
Since spending a lot of time browsing With the current knowledge of this era, some of the ways Saleh speaks are becoming more and more like a human being, rather than a distant forerunner.
Amber: "Other than this answer, I can't think of any other reason why the emperor's personal bodyguard would appear here."
"But what they took away was just an experimental product. Not to mention whether they have done many experiments on carbon-based organisms. Even if they have done it, how do they know that this research has really been successful?!"
As a Jerram native and a think tank deacon, Saleh has a very rigorous attitude towards scientific research.
So for this kind of behavior that ignores scientific risks, it can be said that it is a small knife to pull the butt - it is an eye-opener.
Amber was not surprised by Saleh's reaction, but replied patiently: "There is an old saying among humans, which is called 'sickness, seek medical treatment'. When you are desperate, no matter what is possible, People are willing to try sex."
"Even so, the so-called research on 'immortality' does not necessarily mean that it can extend human life."
"So this is what we need to find out next," Amber said, with a meaningful light flashing in her eyes, "Look at what these imperial people are doing."
After returning to the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress, Amber suspended all other matters, and immediately took the storage module of the Forerunner Research Institute with Saleh and returned to the comprehensive experiment specially built for Saleh. In the room, Lilith also connected in.
Salih is the only person in Atlas, other than the Immortal Legion, who truly knows Lilith's identity.
It’s not that Amber didn’t hide it from her, but that the Jerram man discovered that Lilith’s true form was actually a strong artificial intelligence not long after he used Lilith’s computing power to assist in research and development. .
In this case, Amber has nothing to hide. Anyway, Saleh is also under the control of 'mental shackles', so there is no need to worry about her being exposed.
Lilith was even happier because there was one less person who needed her to 'act'.
After all, she had to respond to Saleh's request almost every day, and spent a lot of time in contact with this forerunner, so she always had to play an ordinary artificial intelligence
As The storage module of the institute was delivered to the laboratory workbench. Under Saleh's control, a bunch of 'Forerunner-style' robotic arms that were customized and assembled by her were surrounded and attached to the periphery of the storage module. Got a bunch of weird instruments.
"Lilith, it's time to start~"
Salih was operating at the workbench intently, but since she was about to start cracking a storage module that she was also very interested in, so There was also some excitement in his tone.
"Understood, Ms. Saleh! The idle computing power call of the fortress server array has been completed! The 'Forerunner facility deciphering special program' is being activated."
Lilith's tone was also a little excited, because to her, human beings She has basically figured out all the secrets here, big and small, so the mysterious forerunners and the secrets left by this force, big and small, have become her new research subjects.
As for Amber, who was sitting on the side, he became a bystander. As a 'war maniac', after entering the field of deciphering and research, he was indeed not very helpful. Please help these two.
The storage module that was dragged back could not last too long under the joint attack of Saleh, the 'special attack on Forerunner technology', and Lilith, the 'decryption expert'.
Amber was woken up by the two of them after a drowsy sleep on the sofa. She glanced at the time in confusion and found that it only took the two of them four hours to complete the decipherment.
When he walked to the front and back of the workbench, rubbing his eyes, he saw Saleh's hands tightly holding the armrests of the workbench, and his body was shaking slightly with excitement. After noticing Amber approaching, the forerunner turned his head and stared at him, and slowly said:
"These lunatics, they succeeded."
< br>When this sentence reached his ears, Amber suddenly woke up.
“Successful?! Are you saying that this research institute has really solved the problem of immortality???”
"To be precise, it solves the problem of immortality of carbon-based organisms."
Salih tried hard to calm down his excitement and continued:
"All the data in the storage module have been unlocked. Lilith has sorted them all out It's done, take a look Amber, I have to go and sit on the side and take it easy."
"Go on, let's have the service robot bring some drinks and food." Amber. He nodded and then focused his attention on the virtual screen on the workbench.
"Master, the information has been sorted out. Please take a look and see that it took some effort to decipher this time. More than ten sub-terminals in the server array have been burned. I will deal with it first~"
Lilith's avatar stuck out her tongue in embarrassment in mid-air. Apparently she didn't expect that this time the deciphering would be so difficult.
"Burn it down directly? How overdone are you guys?"
Amber shook her head, and then said as if she remembered something: "By the way, take this opportunity." , just try the server built by the R&D center to see if the performance is better than others on the market. The product is much higher. If possible, I will have it inspected by the R&D center and then put into production."
"Understood, Master! I promise to complete the task~"
Lilith said playfully. A military salute was given, and the avatar in mid-air quickly disappeared.
Amber looked back at the screen on the workbench, and then her mouth began to open wider and wider.
He had thought about many ways forerunners to solve the "immortality problem" of carbon-based organisms, but he never thought that these forerunner researchers finally adopted the most "returning to nature" method.
For almost all carbon-based organisms, the main reasons that limit their life span are cell division restriction, free radical damage, changes in gene expression levels, accumulated DNA damage, stem cell exhaustion, etc. reason.
For these reasons, Amber also saw a passage left by a certain Forerunner researcher when this large-scale bioengineering project called 'Eternity' was launched in the deciphered data.
“If we solve these problems, won’t we be done?”
You see, so the Jerram people are essentially a race full of humorous cells
But at the same time, they are also a race that is very advanced in gene editing, homologous recombination, DNA repair enhancement, antioxidant protection, and signal transduction optimization. , bioreactors and other technologies that have reached a level that humans cannot imagine.
The final result of the 'Eternal' project is that these Jerram people, like the Creator, created a perfect artificial cell series called 'Eternal Cells' in the laboratory.
