Chapter 231 The Hydra Project(1/2)
Although people around him didn't know what happened to Wiles, they could clearly sense that his condition had gotten better.
Zheng Li added some special ingredients to the life-extending potion, which can disrupt the perception of the outside world.
Magnetic fields are a very common scientific phenomenon, but human body magnetic fields are considered pseudoscience by many people.
Historically, many civilizations in Asia and Europe had similar definitions of the human body's magnetic field, and these definitions had different names.
In China, Qi is called Qi, and local Chinese medicine believes that Qi is the body’s first line of defense.
Of course, in modern China, indigenous medicine is questioned by many people.
Although the human body's magnetic field is not clearly defined, it obviously exists.
For example, electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging are application scenarios of the human body's magnetic field after scientific induction and analysis.
Zheng Li knew that they would definitely use the life-extending medicine given to humans.
And based on his understanding, countless pairs of eyes will definitely be staring at it when using it.
Therefore, in order to make the life-extending potion more attractive, Zheng Li deliberately added special ingredients to it.
The special ingredient comes from extracts of magical plants, which can cause disorders in human perception.
Some people are full of energy at ordinary times, while others are sluggish. Their human body magnetic fields give other people different feelings.
This requires a triple combination of the human body's magnetic field, combined with personal behavior and image in others' minds, to achieve an obviously differentiated effect.
The special ingredients added by Zheng Li infinitely enhance the human body's magnetic field.
The "audience" present clearly felt that Wiles was much younger.
The wrinkles on his face, the white hair on his head, and his gray beard have not changed at all, but he just feels younger.
Adding special ingredients can also confuse the Blue Star people's reverse cracking of the life-extending potion ingredients, making their reverse engineering more difficult.
"As for the more subtle feelings, it is difficult to find words to describe them. I need time to organize my thoughts."
"In short, I can feel that my body has made a significant recovery, as if it has returned to the state it was in five years ago."
After Wiles took the life-extending potion, he was taken for a physical examination before he could finish speaking.
After the physical examination, his physical examination report was compared with the last physical examination report, and various indicators were significantly improved.
You must know that they have extremely frequent physical examinations after being injected with the magic brain.
England found Wiles' physical examination report from five years ago for comparison. Physical data showed that many of his indicators had returned to five years ago.
"We still can't confirm whether Wiles lived five years longer or if he lived five years younger, but the length of his life will not change.
Only one sample cannot prove that what Merlin said is true."
Blue Star's current scientific so-called prolonging life span is actually about resisting aging.
Let the human body be in the same condition when it is 70 years old as it is when it is 60 years old.
But it will not allow you to live to be 70 years old and to be 80 years old after using anti-aging treatments.
Of course there are also efforts to extend lifespan.
For example, gene editing can be used to increase the length of telomeres in cells in the body, indirectly allowing cells to divide multiple times and avoiding the removal of useful DNA during division.
The problem with this approach is that death is not determined by telomeres alone, and there has not been a strong correlation between extending the length of cell telomeres and extending lifespan.
However, in reality, many wealthy people have undergone similar surgeries.
"I believe that Merlin will not deceive us on this matter. Compared with the Demonic Brain that bridges reality and will, the technical content of the life-extending potion is much lower.
The technology behind the life-extending medicine Blue Star has many ideas.
We still don’t have the slightest idea about the Demonic Brain, how the magical civilization developed the Demonic Brain.
Moreover, the production method of the life-extending potion costs 50 magi, which may seem like a lot, but I believe that within five years, the country will be able to redeem the production method of the life-extending potion.
So I don't think Merlin would deceive us about this, it's not necessary.
Life-extending potions are inherently extra rewards."
"Yes, I agree.
Were the researchers present at the time under control?
They need to be silenced for a while.
If they want to meet their families during this period, they can take their families to the research base.
But once you get in, you won't be able to get out in the short term.
Anyway, how we obtained the life-extending potion must not be revealed."
When the Europa Union discovers that there may be unexpected rewards for making a contribution, the discovery is precious.
They instantly thought that if artificial intelligence is like this, then the Mars base is also like this.
Mars is too far away, so it will take at least seven to eight years to build a base on Mars to build a small base that can accommodate three people.
But maybe Amerikan will get additional rewards if it establishes a base on the moon.
If America or China knew about it, they would definitely choose to build a base on the moon first.
But they don’t know how to obtain additional rewards, so they may not necessarily build a base on the moon.
Amerikan's original plan was to land on the moon first, then launch a lunar space station, and then establish a base on the moon.
After the step of establishing a base on the moon is completed, we will gradually explore Mars.
The problem now is that the best orbit of the lunar space station is occupied by the Chinese.
Now they have to find a new track, and it is not easy to find a more suitable track.
In particular, the lunar space station has to take on the important task of traveling to and from the moon and space.
Previously, it took NASA more than a year and 200 million yuan to confirm this orbit.
Therefore, Amerikan's current plan is to directly bypass the moon and land on Mars.
Then consider building a base directly on Mars.
We can no longer waste time, the pressure from the Chinese is increasing.
China is still proceeding steadily according to the plan.
In 2024 alone, Chinese astronauts have conducted more than three round trips to Blue Star and the lunar space station.
They plan to land on the moon in March 2025, and then conduct frequent Blue Star-Space Station-Moon round trips in 2025.
Move some special building materials to the moon in 2025.
The construction of a small lunar base will be completed in 2026.
The Huaguo plan is very sound.
"Now that we know about this, all the researchers have signed a stricter confidentiality agreement. They will be in a state of silence for two years and cannot have contact with the outside world.
We will regularly package the processed external information and put it into the database of the base.
Their news will lag behind the outside world by a month."
"There is still a problem that England insists on obtaining the remaining life-extending potion.
We need to convince England that the overall situation is the most important thing. The remaining two life-extending potions will be analyzed and studied, and the results of the research will be shared among the countries in the alliance.
England is no exception."
England was very insistent and insisted on giving them at least one more life-extending potion.
The Europa Union cannot accept it, because in their view, everyone is one now, why would you use two?
The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally England compromised.
There's nothing they can do if they don't compromise. The life-extending medicine is not in their hands, it's in Brussels.
If the potions are in London, the Englishman can use them all for you.
Based on the life-extending agent, the Europa Union launched a project named Hydra.
Hydra is an animal that ages very slowly. Some people think that it can live forever if it maintains certain conditions.
"The genome of Hydra is rich in A and T bases"
"More than 70% of them are A and T, and A and T contain about 60% of transposable elements."
"Currently, the strain we treated with life-extending agents is reproduced asexually in the laboratory through asexual budding, and we found that it is a diploid with a large amount of heterozygosity."
"That means the SNPs between alleles are about 0.7%, and it's currently distributed along the genome as expected."
“These features currently allow shotgun sequencing and assembly to produce two complementary components, CA and RP.”
"Both CA and RP are deposited in base pairs. The contig and scaffold N50 values for the CA component are 12.8 kb and 63.4 kb, respectively."
"The RP assembly has a contig length of 9.7 kb and the scaffold N50 length is 92.5 kb."
"The CA assembly gave a non-redundant genome size of 1.05 Gb. The RP assembly gave a non-redundant genome size of 0.9 Gb."
"We selected assemblies that minimized sequence redundancy due to individual assembly of haplotypes. Approximately 99% of known hydras have genes found in both assemblies, demonstrating a tendency toward hydraization in cells treated with life-extending agents.
