Everyone is in a huge shock. This has brought major changes to the world and also brought huge pain. Is this something that the truth will bring about?
Simon Davis did not answer directly. He pursed his lips and said calmly: "Let me tell you a story."
His blue eyes looked at the people present.
"Paton Davis was born in 1880. His father was a manor owner in Germany. His family was well off since he was a child, and he naturally received a very good education. During World War II, he was already a well-known figure in the empire.
Scientist, and involved in the research and development of biological and chemical weapons.”
"But in the 1930s, when he was already fifty years old, he felt his own aging, and an idea suddenly came to his mind."
"He wanted to deconstruct the essence of life so as to extend his life."
"The number of times a cell can divide is limited. Once exhausted, the cell will undergo apoptosis. This number depends on the length of a structure called 'telomere' on the chromosomes in the cell. The longer the telomere, the more times it can divide.
many."
"Of course, external factors are also affected by the external environment. Internal factors, bad living habits or emotions will aggravate this process. For example, being troubled by depression for a long time will cause the loss of chromosome telomeres in the human body and accelerate the aging of cells, thus
It makes people age prematurely.”
"The limit of human body cell divisions is about 52 to 60 times."
"He was thinking, what about the 'cancer cells' called immortal cells? How do they break this limit?"
Everyone did not interrupt Simon Davis' narration and listened carefully to the story he told.
This man named Paton Davis is very likely his ancestor.
Simon explained: "This is related to an enzyme called 'telomerase'. In normal cells, the activity of telomerase is inhibited, so telomeres usually shorten as cells divide, but
Tumor cells can reactivate the activity of telomerase, allowing telomeres to be replenished faster."
"In this case, tumor cells can proliferate without restraint, achieve 'immortalization', and divide indefinitely."
"But we are not afraid of telomeres because we have stem cells. After human cells die, stem cells can divide into new tissue cells for replenishment."
"However, as the body's stem cells age, their activity and regenerative capabilities change. Eventually, the repair ability decreases, cells are damaged, tissues are damaged, and the individual dies."
"After accumulating a large number of human experiments, Paton Davis completed the two major topics of telomere extension and artificial induced stem cells, and finally performed gene editing on himself."
Lin Yan's eyes flickered. 60 times was the human limit before the Great Nirvana period. Unlike warriors who evolve through practice, warriors' cell activity has been greatly improved and has a higher upper limit, but they still have their own division limit.
It is also different from Wen Zhi'an's research results on the regeneration of severed limbs, which also has its own upper limit.
Because of the unlimited proliferation of cells, the consequence is cancer.
For warriors, they will never suffer from this disease again, but lifespan is a very serious matter, especially for "Swallowing Starry Sky". This has risen to the rules of the universe, and Lin Yan is more inclined to the cells of warriors
Cancer, the consequences will be more serious.
I'm afraid what Peyton Davis did would not go as he wished.
"Paton Davis successfully completed his own gene editing and returned to youth. After the war, he became active on the world's scholar stage under other pseudonyms and identities, and conducted discussions and discussions on cells and genes with many scientists.
Research."
"This is also the predecessor of the Truth Society."
"But in the 1980s, not long after his 100th birthday, the cells that had been well controlled by him suddenly became cancerous. This process was irreversible and irrepressible."
"His 'eternal life' plan enters the countdown at this moment!"
"So he remembered what he had experienced when he was organizing an academic conference in Oceania. An earthquake occurred at that time, and he entered the ruins of an ancient civilization, which is now the ruins of ancient civilization No. 5."
"In it, he acquired part of the knowledge of cosmic civilization, and learned that people can become warriors through practice, which are divided into apprentice level, planet level, star level and cosmic level. Their life spans are different, and he got 7
White translucent crystals with a rice scent.”
A council member immediately exclaimed: "Kuya Akira!"
"Yes, it's Mu Yajing."
Simon nodded, and many councilors present realized that last year at the ruins of ancient civilization No. 5, they learned that the treasure "Muya Crystal" in the data actually existed on the earth, but it had been taken by Paton Davis before that.
gone.
This can also explain why the ruins of ancient civilization No. 5 were only discovered last year. You must know that they can discover the ruins of almost all ancient civilizations on the earth through some special instruments they obtained, but the ruins of ancient civilization No. 5 have been excavated since before the Great Nirvana period.
, it no longer contains any high-energy reactions, so it is naturally useless.
Simon said: "But if you know that practicing is useless, how can you practice?"
"There is only the simplest Five Hearts Cultivation Method in the ruins, but even now, you have to be a warrior before you can practice it. At that time, Paton had no way at all."
Paton saw the goal, but there was no path to it.
"So his research direction shifted to wood crystals. This crystal has a huge energy response, but the method of use is also unknown. Patton conducted experiments on it. All animals that swallowed the crystal would explode and die."
"This situation lasted for decades until 2014, when fishermen caught a huge sea snake on the northern coast of Europe, which was more than a hundred meters long. Paton had been looking for those special animals and purchased this
A huge sea serpent.”
"He gave the sea snake a muya crystal to swallow. It was the only creature that didn't explode directly. This made him feel like he saw some hope. The sea snake's vitality reached rock bottom for a time, but it miraculously woke up three months later. After molting, it
New scales grow, and the body grows to three times its previous size."
"Paton named it 'Jormungandr', but how to realize his self-evolution through Jormungandr is also a very big problem. It will take decades or hundreds of years."
"At that time, Paton was troubled by the pain of cancer. He didn't have so much time, so he made a crazy decision."
"He is prepared to rely on the natural law of natural selection to achieve his goals!"
"He isolated the initial strain of the RR virus based on the R virus influenza at that time and combined with the gene fragments of Jormungandr."
"It can be spread through the air, without any epidemic prevention measures at all, and it spreads quickly around the world!"
A nightmare three months.
The population dropped sharply by 2 billion, and the human survivors naturally produced antibodies, and their strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness more than doubled!
The level of improvement of the monsters is even more astonishing, thus ushering in the Great Nirvana Era.
"Actually, sea monsters are stronger than land monsters not just because of the numerical base. As a sea snake, Jörmungandr's genes are more harmoniously combined with those of sea monsters."
In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr is a giant sea serpent that can wrap around the world. Although the body of this monster is not too exaggerated to live up to the existence in this myth.
But in a sense, it also achieves "surrounding the world".
"But everything still doesn't end here."
"Paton successfully became a warrior, but the apprenticeship level cannot increase his lifespan."
"Planetary level is very difficult for humans. There are less than 60 people so far. If one cannot reach planetary level, all his efforts will be in vain."
"His body is already on the verge of collapse. It is impossible for him to withstand the energy of Mu Ya Jing to break through this level."
"After a long period of research and exploration, he still has not found a suitable method."
"However, he discovered a problem and started thinking about it."
"The Green Dragon of the East China Sea will be king-level when it reaches adulthood, while the Armored Dragon will be the high-level monster lord when it reaches adulthood. There are many kinds of monsters in this world, but they all have racial potential problems."
Simon's eyes were bright: "In other words, it's 'bloodline'!"
"King-level monsters are equivalent to human planet-level monsters, but some monsters do not meet this threshold. Adults are king-level. This phenomenon extends to humans. Do humans also have blood?"
"Are there humans who can reach planetary level, stellar level or even cosmic level in adulthood?"
Everyone present fell into deep thought.
This is something that has never been mentioned in the inherited knowledge of the universe that they have, but this possibility does exist.
Even if two warriors are combined, a child with better talent will be born.
The theory of bloodline is not nonsense.
Lin Yan couldn't help but be a little amazed. Although Peyton Davis' approach has big problems and is selfish, he is indeed an out-and-out genius.
In the universe, races such as the Manka Stars can even reach the realm lord level as an adult. The golden-horned beast that Luo Feng later took away his body can grow to the peak of realm lords naturally. It is the pinnacle bloodline in the universe.
.
The bloodline of the people on earth can only be said to be inferior in the universe.
Simon's voice sounded again.
"So, the Truth Society has a new topic."
"Superhuman Serum."
"The purpose is to improve the bloodline through genetic modification of the human body and break the barriers to planetary breakthroughs."
