"Wait a minute, if I understand correctly... you mean that ascetics... can be artificially mass-produced?"
Ye Su took a deep breath, and then asked as calmly as possible.
"That's right! I have always wondered whether my conclusion that ascetics are a future direction of human evolution is correct. If there are no other evolutionary directions to compare with each other, I can't really be sure about this.
Conclusion, because evolution is never single and cannot be single. So if a single evolutionary result appears, no matter how reasonable the result seems, it must be wrong. Your specimen solves this problem
question."
Dr. Qin nodded affirmatively and said very seriously: "So since ascetics are a certain direction of human evolution in the future, why can't ascetics be artificially mass-produced? As long as we understand the conditions for achieving qualitative change in this evolutionary process
, and then work hard to artificially solve this condition, wouldn’t it be enough?”
"Just...that simple?"
Listening to what Dr. Qin said, Ye Su asked blankly.
"How complicated can it be? The truth is always simple, but the process of proving this truth is extremely complicated."
Dr. Qin said, typing the keyboard with one hand again, readjusting the image displayed on the screen back to the cell structure of a monk, and continued: "The reason why ordinary humans do not live long, but they can live for more than a hundred years is amazing.
In addition to being affected by various diseases, the most important thing for a longevity star is the erosion of the body by the air."
"We all know that the world is full of oxygen, and the survival of living things completely depends on this gas that represents the meaning of life. Once without oxygen, humans cannot survive for more than a few minutes, but similarly, oxygen plays a vital role in allowing humans to survive.
At the same time, it is also constantly and slowly murdering human beings."
Ye Su nodded and said: "I understand this. Just like iron nails rusting and fruits drying up and deteriorating, the human body is under the influence of oxidation all the time, so as time goes by, human beings will
As we age gradually, the surface skin will begin to become rough and wrinkled, and the organs in the body will begin to fail, all of which are the effects of oxidation."
"Yes, the life span of monks is generally much longer than that of ordinary humans. This is because the body of the monk is in a process of continuous strengthening. This strengthening enables the body cells of the monk to resist oxidation.
It must be far more than ordinary people! The pursuit of life time has always been the difficulty that humans are most eager to overcome. The characteristics of ascetics undoubtedly meet this requirement, so I think there is no problem with this direction of evolution. "
Dr. Qin continued with some excitement: "Actually, we have done some experiments before, such as extracting and fusing cells from monks with ordinary people's cells. However, because the body cells of monks are too powerful, no matter the density,
The internal structure is much more powerful than ordinary people's cells, so these experiments all ended in failure without exception. Originally, the related experiments had been stopped before you got this specimen back. Because
All the data shows that it is meaningless to continue this kind of experiment. It is impossible for us to fuse the cells of ordinary people and the cells of monks. But this specimen you brought back gave me a very good inspiration!"
Ye Su did not interrupt, but just motioned for Dr. Qin to continue talking.
The expression on Dr. Qin's face became more and more excited. He pointed at the picture on the computer screen and said: "Just like this specimen cell, we can use the cell structure of ordinary people to simulate the cell structure of monks! A single cell body
, the gap between them is too big, but what if the cells of thousands of ordinary people are condensed together? Since even the flame form without life elements can simulate the structure of basic cells, then simulating it through the cells themselves is even more
Strong cells will definitely work!"
Although he had somewhat guessed what Dr. Qin was thinking, Ye Su was still very surprised to hear Dr. Qin express his thoughts directly.
"Even if what you said is right, even if the goal can be achieved in this way, but...how can ordinary people endure this kind of fusion? The number of cells in the human body is limited. If a large number of cells gather together,
If new cells are simulated, what will this person look like? A miniature person that is suddenly shrunk hundreds or thousands of times?"
After Ye Su was surprised, he carefully weighed the feasibility of this idea in his mind, and then frowned and asked.
I originally thought that this problem would make Dr. Qin very distressed, but found that after the problem came out, Dr. Qin just looked at him with a strange face.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Su subconsciously touched his cheek.
"It's nothing... I just heard what you said just now, and I thought you were a rare smart person among a group of idiots. But now it seems that idiots are idiots. Even if you are smart occasionally, it's just a flash of inspiration. I
Such an idea will indeed reduce the number of cells in the transformed person's body, but... the volume will not change."
Dr. Qin shook his head helplessly.
Ye Su was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
I didn't expect such a simple thing...
"It is true that the volume will not decrease, but the reduction in the overall number of cells will still cause various fatal problems. After millions of years of evolution, human beings have actually reached a fairly pure balance. What a monk can do
, it is just to continuously strengthen the individual units on the basis of this balance, and then form an overall leap. But your idea is equivalent to destroying the balance of the human body, and I am not optimistic that you can succeed."
After smiling bitterly for a while, Ye Su said seriously.
Dr. Qin was not angry because of Ye Su's doubts. Instead, he nodded in agreement, and then said: "You are right. It is very simple in theory, but there are too many technical difficulties in doing it.
, but the most fearful thing is not how difficult it is to complete anything, the most fearful thing is that there is no correct direction and goal. As long as there is the correct direction and goal, then no matter how difficult things are, they can always be completed. The difference
It just depends on the length of time. The greatness of human scientific research is that future generations can always stand on the shoulders of their predecessors to explore again. This is the most fundamental reason why mankind can continue to progress to the present level."
Looking at Dr. Qin's firm look, Ye Su was slightly touched. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "I know a guy who has many ideas that coincide with yours, and that guy
She is also a genius with a superior IQ, but she should be working in other scientific research units now. Later I want to apply to the above to transfer her as much as possible. I think... there is someone who has similar ideas and is equally smart.
Making suggestions and filling in gaps should make your ideas more perfect and make progress faster."
"That would be the best, and many ancillary research results produced during this research process will become major breakthroughs in biotechnology and even genetics, at least if we want to develop the specimen you brought back.
