Chapter 400 "Rebirth" (1)(1/3)
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to The Taylor Show, the most exciting, explosive, vulgar, and celebrity-studded TV show in the UK every Saturday night at 8pm!"
The lights at the recording site were turned on, and the DJ gently pushed the vinyl. The men and women present stood up one after another, applauding and screaming to welcome the host who came from behind the screen to the front stage, and kept dancing to the music.
"How are you doing, how are you doing! Don't stop applauding until I get off the stage and wash my underwear right away! Wow! I'm here, I'm here~ You can stop now, I know you are always the best, phew,
Thank you for your applause, please sit down."
Wearing a stiff dark blue suit, Taylor walked around the desk, leaning lazily on the back of the leather boss's chair, crossing his legs, and kept turning the pen between his fingers. Until he trembled in a pretentious manner, he faced the audience with his palms facing down.
suppressed the applause.
"I believe that no one does not know a piece of news published in the Washington Post two weeks ago, which is why everyone is so enthusiastic today, but I still want to pay tribute to the very small number of "primitive people" in front of the TV.
Tell me what happened two weeks ago."
"Friends, Jesus has arrived! No, maybe He is more mouth-watering than Jesus. I'm not kidding. He has completed an incredible piece of scientific research that can make people's jaws drop. He has opened the lock of life and drawn a line on life.
A circular symbol, ladies and gentlemen! Let us welcome him with the warmest applause and screams, the God of the 21st century! Mr. Zambi Odres Hea!"
This was the warmest applause in the nearly eight years since the show began. The ladies' high-decibel screams even caused tinnitus and heart discomfort in some elderly viewers, but no one cared whether they behaved appropriately or not.
What impact it will have on your body, really, no one cares.
The blond man walked slowly from the backstage to the front. He was in his thirties, and his ordinary appearance had been blessed by talent to be dazzling in the eyes of everyone. His gold-rimmed glasses made him elegant and gentle. At first glance, he was full of knowledge and connotation.
.
"God, I remember Mr. Hea is sixty-three years old!"
"Rejuvenation! Real rejuvenation!"
"He looks only thirty! I believe what he says!"
Mr. Hea did not show any surprise at the audience's disbelieving exclamations. When he appeared on the headlines of major newspapers and media, this shock was destined to be retained by him.
"Sir, do you need my mouth? Or your ass? Or something else? Please let me serve you, please!"
As the BBC's most popular pay channel variety show, but not suitable for children to watch, Taylor's hosting style is as vulgar as ever, even though this is not his style of communicating with people in life at all.
Even though he was full of dirty words and adult jokes, everyone could still feel his respect for Hea from his words, which was from the bottom of his heart.
You know, whether the guests who have stood on this stage are handsome men, beautiful celebrities, or middle-aged bald, pot-bellied politicians, Taylor's pornographic accent has always been directed at the guests, and he has never turned the fire on himself.
He diligently pulled out the chair for Hea, and carefully wiped the pure leather seat with the handkerchief he had never taken out from his chest. Finally, like a waiter eager to get a tip, he waved his hand for Hea to sit down.
.
Hea did not seem embarrassed about the pornographic accent that ignored gender. Although the show did not have a script, Taylor had communicated with him the precautions before the show. Obviously, the pornographic accent was not within his taboos.
"Guys! This is God! This! This is God! Welcome him with the warmest applause! Mr. Heya, on behalf of the program team, I sincerely thank you for coming."
The third cheer within a minute did not make the audience feel unhappy at all. The enthusiasm was enough to lift the ceiling of the studio, and even the fully air-conditioned studio seemed a bit hot.
The two parties sat down and the show officially started. Taylor couldn't wait to ask. Even he didn't notice that his excited body began to lean forward.
"Sir, if my information is correct, you are now sixty-three years old and have become a grandfather, but you look exactly the same as you did in the photo thirty years ago. This is really incredible."
"Yes, I have rejuvenated. Just four weeks ago, my physical condition has returned to the level of about thirty years old. If I need, I can be younger."
Mr. Heya acted very indifferently, took a sip of water, looked at Taylor, and nodded lightly.
"How? This is... incredible, God."
"Science, how else can we do it? Ever since my grandmother passed away, I have been afraid of death. Therefore, I devoted myself to the life sciences and conducted scientific research for nearly forty years. In the end, I spent a lot of money
, with the joint efforts of thousands of experts, a major breakthrough was achieved two years ago, and after two years of clinical trials, it was finally revealed to everyone."
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"At first, we started with the lighthouse jellyfish and tested the maximum number of times it can transform from mature to larvae. The results were not ideal. But fortunately, we successfully extracted the relative gene responsible for "immortality" from its DNA. After
After tens of thousands of experiments on white mice, the match was successfully carried out and the genetic chain of the white mice was kept stable without breakage. Unfortunately, during reincarnation, the organs of the white mice did not return to their childhood, but grew again. During this period, the mice remained
Death occurred due to organ failure and the experiment failed."
"We tried organ transplantation, but the transplanted organs will fail sooner or later. Unless you keep replacing organs, you can't fundamentally solve the problem. So we looked at earthworms, centipedes, tardigrades and other tenacious creatures, and finally from tardigrades
Some genes and special base components were extracted from the body and replaced with the genes of the lighthouse jellyfish, maintaining the symmetry and balance of the gene chain."
"At the same time, we found that the special bases derived from tardigrades reacted with guanine and thymine in white mice, and two new bases were derived, which we called "tardigrade thymine" and "
Tardigrade Guanine"."
"And these two bases affect deoxyribose and ribose through covalent bonds, which in turn have a great impact on nucleotides, and even change the order of DNA and RNA, but everything is a good result.
This greatly enhances the activity of cells, increases the number of cell divisions, extends lifespan, makes the gene chain very stable and difficult to break, greatly improves disease resistance, avoids the occurrence of terminal diseases to a large extent, and at the same time water
Bear thymine still has certain characteristics of thymine, with one more 5-position methyl group than uracil, maintaining heritability accuracy. Therefore, the next generation of humans who have changed their genes will have good inheritance of the gene chain."
On the stage, Mr. Hea was talking, but he did not go into too many important details. He just repeated the experimental process published in the newspaper to the audience. On the other hand, off the stage, the audience was still very confused.
The vast majority of ordinary people are not interested in the subject of genetics. What these audiences want to hear are not experimental processes that will put them into deep sleep. Heya did not feel the slightest surprise in this regard.
"Wow... In other words, have you broken the laws of life and enabled human beings to reach the realm of immortality?"
"No, life has its limit after all. Even though we don't have an accurate statistics on the number of transformations of lighthouse jellyfish, I believe that no animal can escape death. We just try to extend life as much as possible, extending it to humans.
It is enough to have no regrets about death. You must know that if you really live too long, it is not a good thing."
"So, according to your prediction, Mr. Heya, how long can humans live with the current level of technology?"
"It will take about 150 to 200 years, and most diseases can be treated with the technology we possess. In the future, as the technology becomes more mature, life can continue to be extended."
The rest of the time was shot in a question-and-answer format. Taylor asked all the questions the audience wanted answered, such as whether there were any side effects and the possibility of causing a medical accident. Mr. Hea also answered them one by one.
After getting the answer, until the end of the filming, Taylor gave up the remaining two minutes to Hea, asking him to announce a decision that was crucial to the course of human history.
Hea stood up, walked to the stage, faced countless gazes, and spoke slowly.
"I know how precious life is. Within more than ten years after my grandmother passed away, all my elders left me one by one. I often dream about them. When I wake up, the room is silent. This is the most beautiful thing for people.
It's a painful separation, but in the end we will all taste this regret silently. I don't want this to happen anymore. I don't want to lose other relatives and close friends who are very important in my life. I believe you are the same."
"So, I decided... to sell all the experimental plans and technologies to all countries that are interested in this research at extremely low prices. I will not do business at a loss, nor will I make profits from it. I only hope that...
A hundred years later, I can still see all of you here, taking off your hats and greeting each other amidst laughter, under the clear blue sky, and with white doves flying."
"Everyone, let's become old friends!"
"Oh God! Mr. Hea! Dear Mr. Hea!!!"
This is an audience riot, but it is caused by excitement. People leave their seats, leave the auditorium, crowd in front of the stage, squeeze to the front as much as possible, raise their hands, just to get as close to "God" as possible, even if it is just
Can you tidy up his trousers with gratitude, or kiss his leather shoes...
"I really saw a person's back full of brilliance, which even stung my eyes. I shed tears, but I was happy at this moment."
Taylor wanted to add this sentence to his autobiography, but it was not a lie to add to Hea's legend. He really shed tears, and they were true tears of happiness.
The camera is fixed on Hea's smile, with everyone paying homage to it. Maybe an artist will create a famous painting for him in the future, but now, it is only recorded in a small memory card.
…
After that, Heya fulfilled his promise, sold the results to various countries, and signed a plan to transform genes into civilians, so that ordinary people can also enjoy longevity, and everyone's life has been greatly improved.
of extension.
But Heya didn't expect that his good deeds would not bring him happiness and worth in the world.
But it is the beginning of hell on earth...
…
"My name is Wang Ziqing, but no one calls me this name. Everyone is used to calling me Parker. I was born thirteen years after genetic enhancement became popular. I am a second-generation genetically modified person. My parents are British-Chinese. I have an ordinary family. There is nothing to say.
, if I really want to say something special, I can only mention that I was born prematurely. Sometimes I look at the photos of me when I was born, and I look at myself in the photo who only weighs 2 pounds, and then I look in the mirror.
This man, who is no different from an ordinary adult man, will always have some ridiculous ideas."
"The modified genes are so powerful that it would be amazing if they had died when they were born."
(Parker's narration.)
…
"Mr. Parker, your test results have come out. Congratulations on your recovery and you can go through the discharge procedures."
"Okay, sorry for that."
The nurse in a white robe was quite strong, and her face looked a bit fierce because of her fleshy face. However, her attitude towards patients was unexpectedly kind and enthusiastic. She smiled and nodded to Parker, and handed the case in her hand to Parker.
, and asked other patients in the same ward if they were feeling unwell. After receiving a negative answer, they pushed the medical cart away.
After accepting the congratulations from the patients in the same room, he stood up and silently packed his luggage under the gaze of other patients. Finally, he cut off the hospitalization wristband on his hand, gently opened the door, and walked out of the ward.
After the increase in human lifespan, the hospital is no longer overcrowded as it once was. It is quiet all the way to the lobby, and the leather shoes echo when stepping on the floor tiles. The nurse handling the procedure heard the footsteps and has been waiting for a long time.
The person actually walked up to him, showed a warm and full smile, and took the series of certificates handed over by Parker with both hands.
"Sir, bank card or credit card?"
"credit card."
The nurse who got the answer smiled even brighter, quickly completed the procedures for Parker, calculated the expenses for Parker's seven-day hospitalization, and finally put the payment form on the table and asked Parker to sign.
