Master Company announced the privatization of a planet for the second time!
The first time it was Venus, everyone can understand; but what is the reason this time? Discover protoplasm! Some people who knew about it were immediately jealous!
Yes, the Master Company does not keep secrets - in fact, there is no way to keep secrets. There are so many people in the expedition team, and some people will even release information to the Internet regularly - even at ordinary communication speeds, one month is enough! Even if the master company blocks the news, as long as the expedition personnel return to the earth, they will definitely be exposed and the whole country will know without even thinking about it. Rather than being covert and passively exposing, it is better to proactively announce it and at least win a good reputation for yourself. Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, China or foreign countries, credibility is an invisible monument. You can't kill all the expedition team just for this little thing. If you do this, Zhang Jingyuan's brain will be really in trouble. I have already practiced cultivation, but that little thing is not in the eyes of the Dharma at all!
Gaoshou Company still has a long way to go, and we cannot be careless in establishing our reputation. Perhaps, if you are not careful, the credibility that you have carefully built for more than two decades will collapse in a few days. There is still a long way to go, and future development will be even more exciting. There are better things in the outer space!
But for the world, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves. The next day, February 4, 2068, the number of calls at Gao Shou's company was overwhelming, and the network was even overcrowded. The most serious thing is that on the state side, various entrusted relationships are directly connected to Zhang Jingyuan himself and the rest of the middle and senior management of the master company, large and small.
In response to the madness around the world, Master Company simply announced. On February 10, the first scientific research and technology conference after the unification of mankind will be held. The conference will discuss life research and human health; especially methods to extend human lifespan - in fact, the last one is the main body.
This is a truly global conference and the first global science and technology conference for mankind. More than 2,000 life laboratories, large and small, all over the world have been notified. Some of these life research laboratories are primate research, microbial research, reptile research, marine life research, genetic research, human lifespan research, etc.
The whole life research is one of the largest research systems in the world. After simple statistics, the master company issued 2176 invitations. Got all the feedback; and the people in attendance. Just over 20,000 people showed up - some larger research institutions even had hundreds of people!
Especially on the national side, the three laboratories started to be established after reunification. What is integrated are research institutions in traditional territories. They are: National Laboratory of Genetics and Evolution, National Laboratory of Microbiology and Viruses, and National Laboratory of Life Sciences. Among them heredity and evolution. It is mainly responsible for research on genes and other aspects; the microbiology and virus laboratory can be understood literally; the life laboratory is the most top-notch and comprehensive laboratory, but it is biased towards research on mammals, especially humans themselves, including aging research.
5th. The whole earth is boiling. Some people say that the era of increasing the overall life span of human beings is coming. Of course, this is the effect of spreading invincibility - in fact, the answer given by the real scientific community is: theoretically feasible; science is rigorous, and no clear answer will be given without real verification. However, this does not stop people from yearning for it.
On the country side, it was a surprise. With the help of such information, the country quickly promoted the integration and digestion of globalization. To complete a big country that encompasses the entire earth is a huge and complicated task. Ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, conflicts of beliefs and ideas, historical issues, etc., and even legal provisions, time differences, geographical environment, etc., all need to be considered one by one. Fortunately, China now has plenty of time and is making improvements little by little. But if there is such an opportunity, I will certainly not let it go. The president also has ambitions: to do as much as possible to benefit the country and the people. At the very least, he must leave his name in history so that future generations will raise their thumbs when they mention it.
That is to say, under the needs and promotion of the country, the response to this first scientific research conference of mankind, the Life Research Society, was somewhat sensational, even exaggerated. On the Internet, as long as you search for the corresponding keyword, the first one will be this: whether it is microorganisms, genes, life, etc., even if you search for Venus, this link will pop up.
Such a sensational event certainly attracted the attention of the world that was still in turmoil. Even some dissatisfied members of the German Empire had to take the initiative to apply to participate: no one was in trouble with human health or even longevity.
In the excited eyes of the world, the first scientific conference after the unification of mankind came belatedly - many people looked at the clock and counted the days; the first conference was about life.
On the 10th, there was a serious traffic jam around the master company, and more than 100,000 people signed up to participate. From top scientific performance institutions, to college laboratories, to some college societies, etc.; Master Company is open to all, as long as serious personnel can enter, even temporary participation and interested college students are welcome. Even for the purpose of publicity, the country has set up a special reporter area to report the process to the world at any time.
The benefits of world unification have been demonstrated for the first time. Science no longer distinguishes between regions and is no longer restricted by open and closed patents; and the national slogan is that everyone is equal, at least this is the slogan. Therefore, some research institutions that have never been heard of on the Internet have jumped out. These research institutions are often top-notch; even many deadly research institutions in the world are part of such invisible research institutions. There are too many research institutions that serve the country and the military industry.
For example, the United States and Russia each have a life research institute, and they actually study superhuman beings. Yes, there are often too many similarities between real society and movies. Using rays, genetic engineering, machinery, etc., to study the kind of superman that can only be found in movies, and great achievements have been made.
In the open air, there is no way to build large-scale stereoscopic projection equipment at low cost, and for report seminars, a simple flat screen is sufficient. but. For a scale of 100,000 people, this report display screen is divided into a main screen and 100 secondary screens. Every thousand people share one screen, and each screen is hundreds of meters in size. The main screen is very small, only ten meters in size, and is watched by speakers and important guest representatives at the front desk. Of course, the main screen is a stereoscopic projection screen.
The President of the country opened the conference in high spirits and personally opened the conference. There are no long words, simply congratulations on the unification of the world, which is conducive to the progress of mankind. The first global science and technology conference was affirmed. He expressed his gratitude to Gaoshou Company, and then promised that those who perform outstandingly at this conference will receive a free research bonus of 1 billion yuan allocated by the state, and Gaoshou Company also promised. At least ten kilograms of protoplasmic research specimens.
The meeting has just begun. I was pushed to the bottom. The subject of the discussion, the significance of the research, and prospects for the future. It elevated this conference to an unimaginable status. Later people commented: This meeting was not only a symbol of the unification of the new world, but also a symbol of the rapid development of mankind. It laid the solid foundation for the subsequent life sciences.
It was Zhang Jingyuan's turn to speak, and he only said one sentence: At the beginning of the conference, Qian Changyong, President of the National Academy of Life Sciences, was invited to speak. (The nonsense words in my speech take up a lot of words. If I talk too much, I will probably get scolded o(n_n)o haha~)
On the huge screen, Qian Changyong's information was simultaneously displayed: Qian Changyong, a real expert, studies the aging aspect of life. His achievements are: using drugs to inhibit the speed of gene telomere shrinkage, without affecting the quality of life. Under the premise, through thousands of experiments, it has been confirmed that the life of mice can be extended by one tenth; and this is also an important research branch of China's genetic medicines.
Today, Qian Changyong has gray hair, but his body is exceptionally strong. He has obviously taken genetic medicine. The country has always been very generous to these top scientists. And according to the information Zhang Jingyuan received, with the unification of the world and the lowering of technical barriers, genetic medicines have made great progress in terms of quality and output. However, the master company was grateful for the price offered by the state - a small tube of medicine cost a Die Hard No. 3 engine. With practice in hand, Zhang Jingyuan said no with confidence.
Of course, such things cannot affect the relationship between the two parties. As the master company becomes stronger, the country cannot do whatever it wants. Not to mention, the country is different from the Gao Shou Company: the Gao Shou Company is Zhang Jingyuan's eloquent drug, and it actually asked for a Die Hard No. 3 engine as payment; Zhang Jingyuan was insensitive to this.
After these years of development, the master company's own biological research has also made great progress, not to mention that there are practitioners who are cheating. However, such behavior does not affect the relationship between the master company and the country. In the final analysis, Gaoshou Company is Zhang Jingyuan’s sole proprietor; however, the country is a comprehensive group of interests! Even the president of a country can only represent a small group of people at best.
"Ahem, hello 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 I can serve as the newly formed world's top life sciences academy. The person in charge of the laboratory is still trustworthy." The old expert made a little joke, which made the atmosphere in the venue more lively.
"First of all, let me say that what I am responsible for doing research here is to extend human lifespan from the perspective of cells and genes.
Perhaps, when many people think of extending their lifespan, the first thing they think of is personal immortality. But I would like to criticize this selfish view here.
In the eyes of our researchers, extending life is a necessary component technology of civilization. With the development of social sciences, the current life span of human beings has seriously restricted the development of science.
Generally speaking, an excellent scientist or a genius does not have a real scientific foundation until he is about 30 years old, but most of them do not have a real scientific foundation until they are forty years old. After the age of sixty, as human body functions decline, scientists will have to give up their beloved career.
Some people may say that some people are already top researchers in their twenties. But I'm talking about scientists, not researchers. Many people don't understand why scientists are not researchers. Quite simply, because scientists explore unknown areas; researchers delve into and enrich known technologies.
Therefore, in the field of scientists, we do not recognize so-called researchers. Only those who discover and invent new scientific knowledge can truly enter the palace of scientists and truly be regarded as the elite of mankind. So, most people are around forty years old. Because you can only be considered a scientist after you have accumulated enough, have innovated, and embarked on your own path.
Then, after the age of sixty, with the decline of human body functions, the speed of thinking slows down and the activity of thinking decreases, a peak scientist will enter the path of self-reliance - at this point, it can be said that this scientist is no longer suitable. Science and technology have reached the frontier; scientists at this time should change careers and become mentors.
But everyone can also see it. It takes forty years to train a scientist. But the golden time is only 20 years. Obviously, this seriously restricts the development of human science and technology.
Therefore, improving human life, especially the life of top scientists. To the progress of civilization. It has an immeasurable effect.
And this is also the purpose of holding a science and technology conference today.
under. Let me report on the research results of the top life laboratory affiliated with the National Academy of Life Sciences.
So far. We have found through research that the aging of life is reflected in changes in cells; changes in cells mainly include the following aspects: cell activity, shortening of gene telomeres, oxidation of genes by free oxygen radicals, and degradation of intracellular protoplasm. Composition and activity, etc., even including the number of cell divisions.
This is a comprehensive problem, and now we solve two problems. One is the shortening time of gene telomeres, and the other is the reduction of oxidized genes. Many people will ask, what is the mechanism of action of genetic medicine to extend life?
Today, I am here to disclose the mechanism of action of China’s genetic medicine. The first is an inhibitory enzyme that inhibits the shortening of telomeres in genes. Most of the people present are scientific researchers and they all know what telomeres are. If you don’t know what genetic telomeres are, please check online. I won’t explain it here. The second mechanism of action of China's genetic medicine is an active enzyme, which can promote the exchange of genes between cells and supplement each other's gene fragments that are missing or damaged by free oxygen radicals.
The human body is a comprehensive living body. As long as there are certain active genes in the body and a complete set of gene sequences can be pieced together, then in theory this genetic medicine will work. However, due to the difficulty in extracting the two enzymes, the direct cost of each genetic agent is as high as 1 billion yuan, which is seriously insufficient.
Each genetic medicine can extend the life of a person before the age of 60 by about 30 to 50 years, depending on the life status, the time of taking it, etc. Let me emphasize here that younger is not better - if you are too young, the genetic medicine will not have any effect and will increase the body's resistance. Of course, it doesn't work if it's too old, as the foundation has been damaged. ”
At this point, some ordinary people were shocked. The world was open to the public for the first time. It turns out that the current scientific state is so advanced that human beings can already extend their lives.
But for researchers participating in science and technology conferences, such genetic medicines are not difficult to understand, because many people have taken them or injected them. Because of technological blockades, countries have achieved different results.
Qian Changyong’s speech did not end. “Let me talk about the next generation of life-extending technologies and concepts that we are working on. First of all, there are the following methods for researching life-extension around the world:
First, direct genetic modification, using some excellent genes in nature, such as lighthouse jellyfish, etc., to fundamentally change human lifespan.
Second, human cloning. Use stem cells to create a new body and then transplant the brain. This research has two small branches. Considering that the brain can also age, there are the following branches.
A computer branch is to implant a chip into the brain of a normal person to record all behaviors and habits; when the body dies, the chip can be taken out and transplanted into the cloned body. But the problem of consciousness has not been solved yet. So far, we have not achieved considerable research results on what consciousness, habits, etc. are.
The second branch is to transplant the brain separately, using the method of brain block transplantation and free copying to transplant the brain. For example, we divide the brain into a hundred pieces and transplant one piece at a time, allowing consciousness and memory to be transferred step by step, and through metabolism, the memory and brain tissue are updated simultaneously. This method is highly operable, but it requires ten years of transplantation time and costs up to tens of billions of yuan.
As for cloning human bodies, theoretically, as many human bodies as there are stored stem cells can be cloned. When a person is born, at least two thousand stem cells can be safely stored - in other words. When this technology matures, you will have two thousand lives.
Third, directly replace the life form and transform the body into a computer and mechanical assembly. However, there has been no breakthrough in the study of human will, so it is not advisable for the time being.
But similarly, this method also has a small branch, which is to take substances containing a certain proportion of metal ions to replace the human body from a cellular perspective, from bones to skin. Replace slowly. Finally, a kind of metallic life is formed. At present, it is still in the theoretical research stage.
Fourth, research on cancerous cells. Human beings have a magical gene, the cancer gene. Normal cells have a limited number of divisions; but cancerous cells have a limited number of divisions. In theory, it can be split infinitely. But cancer cells cannot be controlled so far. but. In theory. The same is possible.
Similarly, there is a branch of cancer research, which is radiation, looking for mutations in good genes. But this method. No effective gene fragment has been obtained so far.
Fifth, research on energy determines the level of life; this theory was proposed by the founder and team of Gaoshou Company more than 20 years ago. After more than twenty years of research, we have found that this statement is correct; and if research continues in this direction, we may develop the legendary practice system. Haha, that's a bit exaggerated.
Of course, it is now discovered that stimulating cells with appropriate magnetic energy, electric field energy, etc. can indeed prolong cell activity. At present, it is still under theoretical research. ”
This time, I was really shocked. Many reporters were so surprised that their cameras fell to the ground, but they still didn't notice. There are so many ideas that ordinary people can’t even think of. For example, human cloning technology, 2000 lives! Even if each life is 60 years, two thousand lives are still 120,000 years! ! ! 120,000 years! The real time since the birth of modern humans is this time!
Also, people who know the lighthouse jellyfish are equally surprised. This is a life that can grow, degenerate, and grow repeatedly. In theory, it is immortal!
In addition, the idea of replacing the brain is terrifying! But I have to say that this is the easiest method to implement with modern technology. The chip can only record data, but as the core of a person: personality and thoughts, consciousness and habits, etc., these ethereal things cannot be recorded. However, replacing the brain is theoretically possible. Replace a part of the aging brain into the cloned human skull, and copy all the information carried by this part of the brain into the blank brain tissue; then let this process be repeated, and finally a person can be completely replaced through soft copying. But this takes up to ten years, which is equivalent to the brain developing again.
Qian Changyong finally concluded: "At present, the most feasible method is brain replacement + human cloning. Because this method can copy a person's complete consciousness, personality, etc. Of course, the premise is The current theory is correct. This theory is that all human behaviors are determined by the brain. Fortunately, for the time being, this theory is established.
But this method also has a fatal weakness, which is the amount of knowledge in the brain. As life prolongs, the amount of knowledge becomes larger and larger, and the time to replace the brain (that is, the brain re-develops) will become longer and longer. When the development time is equal to the life time, it will be the end of life.
Of course, we have many theories about this. For example, through hypnosis, you can forget part of your memory and enter irrelevant memories into the computer. Maybe, thousands of years later, our technology will have developed in a different way, 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 memories through chips. Now, a chip can be implanted in the human body, which can record all of a person's memories in one year; then the chip can be taken out and implanted into a new cloned human brain, and the person can be resurrected.
However, this approach has two major shortcomings. First, as mentioned earlier, what is copied is only memories and things that can be digitized; and those illusory characters, tempers, individual thoughts, etc. cannot be copied.
Second, the chip implanted in the brain will be entangled with nerves. Once the chip is removed, the original living body will inevitably be brain-dead.
In other words, every time a chip is transplanted, a person will go through a death process. According to current experiments on mice, life can only tolerate up to three transplants before it collapses due to fear.
Moreover, after the transplant, due to the influence of fear, I had a bad temper and lost the original peace at all. The specific reasons are still under analysis. The theory is that the new clone is just a blank sheet of paper, which is easily affected by the original memory and evolves in an unexpected direction; affected by the fear of death, it will eventually develop in a violent direction.
But for this, we are conducting the next step of research, the chip information synchronization method. That is, chips are implanted simultaneously in the brains of clones and normal people, and information is transmitted simultaneously, allowing the clones a certain amount of time to fully simulate and learn. However, such a person can still only be regarded as a replica, not a normal person.
In addition, in genetic research, our temporary achievements are only today's genetic medicines. More, it only stays at the theoretical stage.
My report is over. Do you have any questions? ”
"Hello, Professor Qian, I am Huben Sternis from the North American Life Science Laboratory. I was the dean after the merger of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I want to say, just now you said that using cancer genes to create We are also conducting experiments on wirelessly dividing cells, but we have found through tens of thousands of experiments that cancer genes themselves are uncontrollable, and cancer genes that have been controlled and improved do not have the characteristics of wireless division, and are useless. Gene fragments.
I would like to ask, has your laboratory encountered such a problem now? If so, how did you solve it? ”
Qian Changyong: "Hello, Professor Hubenstness. We have also encountered this problem. The method we adopted is to imitate. In Chinese language, it is to imitate the gourd and the cat. We scanned for cancer The structure of the gene is then directly constructed from other bases at the molecular level. It is still being theoretically perfected.
However, I think we can work together on research after the conference. ”
Hubenstein's eyes widened: "Wow! We only thought about transformation, but forgot to imitate. Okay, let's find an opportunity to communicate after the meeting. This time, all 140 of our core scientists are here. .”
After that, each research laboratory reported its own research reports, ranging from genetic modification, basic modification of life, cloning, mechanical replacement, etc., all kinds of fantastic ideas and weird theories were staged in turn. Some people even proposed to use silicon-based instead of carbon-based and other transformations. Let the reporters shout: This world is so strange... too many people can no longer think! (To be continued...)
ps: One update tonight
