The lights in the underground passages lit up one after another, illuminating the entire passage as if it were daytime.
And as Ye Ming walked out of the passage, the street lights in front of him did the same, as if welcoming him, from the entrance of the academician's community to the entrance of his house.
The door opened quietly, and Yin Ta stood at the door waiting for his return.
"Brother Lei, thank you for your hard work." Ye Ming turned to Zhou Lei and another soldier and said politely with a smile.
He knew that after Zhou Lei and others sent him through the door, they had to be vigilant about security at all times - of course, the smart cameras and various sensors throughout the campus made Aita fully qualified, but the job of Zhou Lei and others was to be responsible
His safety needs to be on guard at all times.
"It's okay, I've long been used to it." Zhou Lei chuckled, crossed his hands in front of him, and signaled Ye Ming to enter the room.
Ye Ming nodded and then walked into the house.
It was almost 12 o'clock at night. After chatting with Director Niu for a while, he discussed the details of the follow-up experiment with Mo Gu.
Mogu's current experiment is to use the original injection method to test the sirt8 expression protein in mice. The current observation results show that its expression organs seem to cover all the tissues of the mice. Regarding this, Mogu's guess is that sirt8
It is possible that reverse transcription of the protein is achieved, thereby delaying the aging of mice by controlling the time of cell division.
But this guess is just a guess... because it goes against the central dogma of human biology.
The so-called central dogma refers to the standard process of genetic information that genetic information cannot be transferred from protein to protein or nucleic acid.
Of course, there are exceptions to this, such as prions.
As for the challenge to this law, the latest progress is ten years ago, when a team proved that RNA can also be written back to DNA - but note that this is RNA, not protein.
Ye Ming knew that he would not be stronger than Mo Gu in the biological field, especially in such a cutting-edge field, so he respected Mo Gu's views.
Therefore, he fully supports Mo Gu's attitude of "don't be anxious, wait until she passes and figure it out completely" - if reverse transcription of the protein can be achieved, that would be the best. If it cannot be achieved, I'm afraid the only option is to get this "life-prolonging injection"
.
But as the person in charge of the most expensive project in the world, he also needs to find money for the project... At the very least, the cake must be drawn for those who are rich.
…
"Yin Ta, is the seventh sister asleep?"
After taking a bath, Ye Ming asked in his mind while wearing pajamas.
"Fell asleep."
"Well, let's go to the study room." After Ye Ming wiped his hair a few times, he walked quietly through his bedroom. He knew that Qi Yumo had been very busy recently and had been responsible for the modular factory.
Instead of disturbing her, he went directly into the study.
When he opened the study door, he saw Yin Ta hunched over, tiptoeing, looking like a thief, and he burst into laughter: "Who did you learn this style from, a thief?"
"Hey, this is the smallest sound."
"Of course, you are a thief." Ye Ming then walked into the study and lay down on the single bed in the study.
Yinta closed the door thoughtfully and then sat by the bed.
Ye Ming grabbed the holographic glasses on the head of the bed, exhaled slowly after a few seconds of silence, and then looked at Yin Ta: "Do you think the main terminal of the system will be in the four-dimensional space?"
"I don't know." Yin Ta shook his head slowly, and the display screen on his head showed a troubled expression: "I remember that we talked about this issue before."
"Yes, we talked about it. But at that time, we knew almost nothing about high-dimensional space. But now... we at least know a little bit."
"But it's close to knowing nothing."
"No, although I have no evidence, I have a hunch." Ye Ming said, putting on his glasses, and then connected to the detector that was sent into high-dimensional space.
Pictures from the four-dimensional space come across dimensions through super-distance communication.
It is still an indescribable and bizarre place, and it is even impossible to determine where you are. Even if you start the engine, it will only result in an indistinguishable flow of images.
But in Ye Ming's eyes, this is actually in line with the projection model - that is, what the lens of a high-dimensional space detector sees is not the scene of the high-dimensional space itself, but the reflection of the projection of the detector itself in space.
In a word, it is looking at itself.
"What premonition?"
"My hunch is that there may be civilization in the four-dimensional space." Ye Ming fell silent and sighed: "I am actually very reluctant to assume that there is such a thing as high-dimensional civilization, because not only is it difficult to cross dimensions,
It’s even hard to imagine, for example, in what form high-dimensional creatures exist, we can’t imagine it at all.”
"But... when Mr. Huo standardized my space metric, he obtained a stable field solution. Then he discovered that this solution and his previous hypercube configuration can be transformed into each other."
"Energy and matter can all be preserved in high dimensions in the configuration of a hypercube - he even extended it, believing that the cube can satisfy the definition of a higher-dimensional projection."
"It's a pity that as three-dimensional creatures, even if we enter the high-dimensional world, we can't get a glimpse of the reality of the high-dimensional world. We can only see the three-dimensional horizon."
Yin Ta "thought" for a while and then nodded. Then there was some confusion in his words: "But does this have anything to do with whether the system is in a four-dimensional space?"

"The relationship is huge..." Ye Ming stared at her: "Once we determine the coordinate system, then I can find its location through the system and my intervention, and even... go next to it!"
Ye Ming sat up as he spoke, his eyes burning.
For a long time, countless people have regarded him as a genius who was born at the right moment and is as famous as Newton and Einstein, or even surpasses him.
But Ye Ming never lost the slightest bit.
He knew that he only tried "a little bit".
Without systematic inspiration, he would never have been able to achieve what he has achieved today - at most he would have been an engineer, or the 996 type.
Ye Ming doesn't believe in fate, but he really wants to ask in front of the system and the system maker, why himself?
Yin Ta spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
"Well, it seems you still have reservations about me."
"I don't!"
"Well... Indeed, it seems that you didn't understand anything when you were born." Ye Ming squinted his eyes, smiled and joked, and he felt a lot happier: "Come on, let's design a verification of the teleportation wormhole.
Model."
…
As the question star continues to move away from the earth, the calendar turns over page by page, and in the blink of an eye it is May.
On the first weekend of May, a paper from the Brain-Computer Center was posted on Aita Academic.
——"Observation on the Effect of Canglanxing Biological Sirt Gene Expression Protein on the Lifespan of Mice"
In this report, it was proposed that the mammals of Blue Star share the sirt gene with humans, but there is an additional subfamily, temporarily named sirt8. Through analysis, the paper team believes that this family of genes is related to the human "longevity gene"
Similarly, it can widely affect various important organs of living things, including the liver, heart, lungs, etc.
At the same time, the report also pointed out that through observation and comparison, the cell division cycle intervals of the mouse-like mammals on the Blue Star are extremely long, which means that even ordinary "mice" have a life span of three to five years.
Year.
By injecting the extracted sirt8 protein into mice, the cell division cycle of the mice was also prolonged.
As we all know, the upper limit of human lifespan is positively correlated with the cell division cycle, and the length of cell telomeres determines the number of divisions - that is, excluding disease factors, if natural life wants to live longer, it must either increase the number of divisions,
Or slow down the division cycle.
Although the paper is very rigorous and does not mention prolonging lifespan, every word refers to prolonging lifespan.

Provincial City Science and Technology Park, Jizhi Technology.
As a behemoth with an unimaginably huge "output value", Jizhi Technology's shares have undergone several reforms in the past few years, and its founder's shares have been diluted to the point where they are almost invisible.
Well... to be precise, it has been state-owned.
However, neither the management nor the ordinary employees have changed.
Everyone still works from nine to five, working easily and happily. Even for ordinary employees, the salary is not as ridiculously high as the rumors outside. Moreover, the country has long implemented a strict hierarchical personal tax system and has fully implemented it.
ETA's management - you can't evade taxes even if you want to.
Therefore, apart from being more relaxed and perhaps having a slightly higher "social status", there are not many practical benefits to being an employee of Jizhi Technology.
But how can I put it, in the current era when the country is gradually moving towards high welfare, social status, or "sense of honor" and "sense of superiority", has become...visibly worth pursuing.
Apart from anything else, who among you would dare to think of being a colleague with Academician Ye Ming?
In the conference room, Qi and Mo were holding a meeting for a group of subordinates.
"Tomorrow is the day of trial operation of our first universal integrated factory. Please cheer up and don't think about Aita in everything."
Qi Yumo's hair was pulled into a bun at the back of her head, making her look much more capable. At this time, she had a serious expression and even knocked on the table: "To put it mildly, the universal factory will be a large-scale area for mankind in the future.
The prerequisite for mining resources on the moon, the asteroid belt and the Kuyinberg belt, to put it more broadly, is that it can support humanity's move toward deep, unmanned space colonization without any mistakes."
Everyone nodded in unison and agreed.
In fact, no need to be reminded by Qi and Mo, they also know the importance of the universal integrated factory - mainly lies in the word "universal".
What is omnipotent?
Of course, if you can do any kind of work, you are omnipotent.
At present, mankind has initially established a primary industrial base for mining and water ice resource recycling on the lunar base. However, the base's huge area and scale... it takes a long time and costs a lot, which everyone has seen with their own eyes.
.
With the discovery of Blue Star, it will be inevitable to establish a colony there in the future. So... a question before us is, how to complete the establishment of an industrial system on Blue Star as quickly as possible?
Of course, a complete industrial system is obviously impossible.
But what if there could be a factory that could complete multiple production tasks in industrial production to the maximum extent?
As a result, the idea of the universal integrated factory came into being.
In the design, this first universal integrated factory will fully adopt unmanned production and operate with all robotic arms. The core is smelting, machine tools and resource recycling. Its functions will cover mineral collection, smelting, stamping, segmentation, manufacturing, etc.
field.
To put it simply, it is to drop it on an uninhabited planet. As long as there is energy, it can mine and collect water ice by itself, and then build the required parts and mechanical equipment from scratch.
Of course, it is said to be "all-purpose", but in fact it certainly cannot be all-purpose. For example, semiconductors, rubber products and other chemical raw materials need to be carried by yourself - after all, among all materials, steel is the heaviest and takes up the most space.
As for energy... naturally it comes from external spacecraft power.
After a year of design and manufacturing, this universal factory, whose production capacity is completely inadequate but whose work is beyond imagination, has finally taken shape.
And it is only the first batch of factories focusing on steel products.
According to Ye Ming's idea, it should have complete self-replication capabilities. Only in that way can productivity be completely liberated.
