Chapter 839 Mitochondria

Bi Fang appeared in front of a huge camp on a camel.

Returned to the location where the ancient tomb was previously discovered.

Bi Fang is not in a hurry to go back, he also wants to see the follow-up of the development of the ancient tomb.

Walking along the Nile River, I am not sure when I will find the town, so I might as well hitch a ride here at the camp. I think Waziri and others will not refuse, and will even welcome them.

Sure enough, Waziri walked out of the ancient tomb on purpose, welcomed Bifang's return, and took him to visit the camp under construction.

As the day passed, construction here was already in full swing.

Looking at at least a dozen white tents pitched in the sand, these are not ordinary camping tents that claim to be one body, but a mobile building similar to a yurt supported by huge tent cloth.

Two giant trucks and a water storage truck were parked outside the camp. Pieces of equipment were being moved from them, and dust was flying in some places.

In the center of the camp, Bifang also saw two white plastic barrels at least three meters high. These are devices filled with fresh water. Various simple water pipes are connected underneath, leading to each tent for easy access and even bathing.

.

"You don't have to worry about running out of water. You can take a shower if you want. A water tanker will come here every day. It's not too far from the nearest city, only less than 300 kilometers away."

Waziri said proudly.

There are many ruins in Egypt, and their branches are very concentrated, basically on the west side of the Nile River.

Because the Egyptian people at that time had a special worship for the Nile River, and they chose the west bank because they believed that the west is where the sun sets and is the city of the dead, and the dead will be resurrected from here.

As a result, since we often have to work in the wild, it is necessary to have a conventional tent that can provide as much convenience as possible.

Transportation is also very convenient, just a few trucks traveling along the Nile River.

A group of professors and scholars don't want to suffer and eat dirt in the yellow sand. Of course, they can do it as they feel comfortable.

Before Bi Fang left, he saw the large-scale construction of the camp, which was one of the reasons why he decided to come back.

Otherwise, he would not be happy to come back to Kuhaha and a group of sweaty men who had been busy all day long and crowded into a small tent.

It is a virtue to endure hardship and stand hard work, but it is not necessary.

Suffering is just suffering, nothing else. Thinking about suffering is what is truly valuable.

After tens of billions of years of slumber.

Humanity finally wakes up on this gorgeous planet.

Endowed with the sparkle of color and the richness of life.

However, within a few decades, he will eventually close his eyes again.

Such a very small number of lucky people have won the jackpot of birth among many possibilities. Of course, they have to choose to live the life they want.

Wouldn't it be too sad otherwise?

After a brief tour of the camp, Bifang told Waziri that he wanted to take a rest.

After walking in the desert for more than two months, Bi Fang was really tired. Waziri understood this and immediately sent someone to take him to a tent that, although not the largest, had the best facilities.

Bi Fang moved Alpha to a shelter built nearby, asked someone to prepare some water and food for him, and then entered the tent alone, and his eyes were immediately opened.

The cylindrical tent structure makes the interior look spacious and bright. The aluminum alloy bracket and nylon fabric are strong and lightweight. The blazing sunlight penetrates through the thick fabric layer, leaving only just enough good visual light.

A single bed stands on one side. On the right side of the bed is a simple desk and bench with a lamp. On the left is a wooden bucket with a faucet and a plastic water pipe.

It was obvious that the plastic water pipes were connected to the two large buckets in the center of more than a dozen tents.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the ground is bare sand, but it adds a bit of fun.

Although the furnishings are very simple, they are rare and valuable in the desert and can be called luxurious.

Bi Fang took two steps forward and lay down directly on the bed. All the heat from his body was sucked away. His bones stretched to their fullest, making a stiff clicking sound, and his strong muscles softened.

After closing his eyes and squinting for a while, Bi Fang jumped up from the bed and came outside the tent. Seeing that Alpha had eaten the fodder sent by the staff, he turned back to the room, put water in the barrel, and prepared to take a good bath.

bath.

There is no hot water and no need for hot water.

The weather is hot during the day, and the fresh water left outdoors is also hot in the sun. You can just jump in and wash it.

After taking a shower, Bi Fang asked someone to borrow a brand new razor and scissors, and tidied up his personal appearance in the mirror.

In the wilderness, Bi Fang would also shave, but he couldn't shave cleanly with a knife, often leaving a millimeter or two of stubble.

The same goes for hair. From Nemo's time to today, it has only been cut once with a knife.

Now that he has a more convenient tool, Bi Fang feels that his head has quickly become refreshed, his chin has become smooth again, a large amount of broken hair has fallen away, and there are only some stubbles left on both sides of the temples, and his whole person has become energetic again.

Having done it by herself so many times, Bi Fang has already developed a good set of skills. Although she doesn't know many hair styles, it is not difficult to give herself a refreshing short hair.

After finishing it, Bi Fang rinsed under the faucet again to wash away all the excess broken hair, and then put on the new clothes that had just been delivered, which was a T-shirt and big pants. There was no need to do anything to adjust the figure, and it was easy to put on.

almost.

After finishing the arrangement, Bi Fang sat in front of the desk and clicked on the system panel.

Two combined tasks, plus a side task, the rewards are given out at once, which is undoubtedly very generous.

[The final reward is: high-level skill enhancement coupon*2, muscle control enhancement coupon*1, mitochondria enhancement coupon*1, enhancement points*5, wilderness points*5047.]

Bi Fang thought about the skill enhancement coupons and added them all to the Wilderness Traveler, completely maxing it out and turning it into an orange full level.

After a period of brainstorming, Bifang opened his eyes again, with a little joy in his eyes.

Wilderness Traveler is his foundation, and this skill can be said to have been almost perfected since then. As for the higher red level, Bifang has not yet found a way to advance to it.

If it hadn't been for the systematic explanation of its real existence, Bi Fang would have doubted whether it was fake.

To strengthen high-level skills, in addition to coupons, you also need to add an enhancement point. At this time, Bifang had the last three points left. He looked at his four-dimensional attributes and added one point for strength and two points for essence.

Let’s not talk about wilderness points for now, these things are all thrown into the mall.

Bi Fang set his sights on the highlight of the rewards this time, a muscle control enhancement coupon and a mitochondria enhancement coupon.

This type of enhanced coupon that favors a certain aspect has always been a treasure among treasures.

The chance of it popping up in the store is ridiculously low. In the past two years, Bi Fang has never seen it pop up even though he refreshed the shop frequently.

It can be seen from this that obtaining it from tasks is the only way to obtain this strongest reward.

Muscle Control Strengthening Voucher.

As you can tell from the name, its function is nothing more than increasing the ability to control muscles and enabling more detailed micro-manipulation.

Human muscles are extremely complex.

Muscle strength is manifested in many aspects, such as absolute strength, speed strength, strength endurance, and dynamic strength.

Dynamic strength refers to the strength that can be sustained for more reps of exercise.

The representative of absolute strength is the masticatory muscles. In 1986, a man in Florida released a bite force of 442 kilograms in 2 seconds, setting a world record.

The representative of dynamic strength is the extraocular muscles. The extraocular muscles can pull the eyeballs at least 10,000 times during one hour of reading, and people can read for several hours continuously.

According to research, extraocular muscle movements are much more frequent when watching a movie than when reading a book, far more than 10,000 times per hour, and ordinary people can watch movies for several hours.

An immeasurable champion of absolute strength is the sub-muscle.

The strong labor contraction during childbirth causes the labor muscles to produce the strongest force in the human body, but this force is affected by hormones and other biochemical factors and therefore cannot be measured.

The heart muscle is the king of strength and endurance because it jumps from birth to death.

Among the isolated muscles, the most powerful is the gluteus maximus.

The gluteus maximus is the main anti-gravity muscle that maintains a person's upright position. All movements done upright by humans require the gluteus maximus to exert force.

There is also the soleus muscle of the calf below.

The calf muscles are the muscles with the strongest external force. It does not mean that the calf muscles themselves can produce much force, but that the toes are used as the fulcrum when raising the heels, using the labor-saving lever principle, showing that the external force is very large.

Most of the skeletal muscles of the human body exert force to pull the bones, which is done in the form of laborious levers. Therefore, the calf muscles, as a small number of labor-saving levers, often perform more prominently.

The king of muscle functions is the tongue.

The tongue is rich in nerves and blood vessels, and is composed of eight muscles. It is a truly versatile muscle in the human body.

Although these muscles are incredible, they are also inseparable from skilled control of them.

If control can be enhanced, their performance will definitely improve to the next level.

In addition to saving physical energy in the wilderness, this is also a great strengthening for the body itself.

The most intuitive point is that Bi Fang can achieve higher explosive and attack effects by allowing more muscles to work together.

There is a very interesting saying that if a human being can fully utilize every muscle, the total strength of the whole body can reach twenty-five tons.

This is of course nonsense.

It's not because the body structure can't support it. The reason is that it's impossible for a person to use the power of the sphincter in a straight punch. That would be disrespectful of martial arts and extremely impolite.

Many of them are laborious levers.

However, the fact that this statement can spread also proves that the potential of the human body is indeed higher than many people imagine.

Use the Muscle Mastery Booster Ticket.

The golden coupon turned into a golden light in his mind, then shattered into pieces, turning into countless gold powder and pouring into the depths of his body.

Sitting on the stool, Bifang soon felt the body temperature rising from his height. He soon began to sweat profusely. With his mouth dry and tongue dry, Bifang grabbed the water glass on the side and drank it down in one gulp, one cup after another.

It wasn't until nearly three liters of water was submerged in his belly and Bifang was about to add salt to the water that the changes in his body gradually stopped and the temperature gradually subsided.

Supporting his dizzy brain, Bifang, who had taken a useless shower, had to go to the faucet and rinse it once. The water dripped from the thick plastic board into the desert, and soon evaporated and disappeared.

"call!"

Bi Fang took a deep breath and soon felt something strange.

Breathing deeper.

After taking two steps, I felt more relaxed, as if it didn't take any effort, and I had the illusion of walking on the clouds.

Then jump, run, squat, back flip, and stand on one hand.

One after another, actions that seemed very difficult to ordinary people were performed very easily under Bi Fang's performance.

These movements are not difficult for Bifang. Before the strengthening, he could do it easily due to his physical condition, but now he feels more calm.

and

Bi Fang, who was standing on one hand, put his right hand directly behind his back, actively destroying his balance, but his body did not move at all despite a series of fine adjustments.

"It's amazing."

Bi Fang murmured to himself.

The combination of enhanced muscle control and enhanced sense of balance actually creates the effect of one plus one greater than two. When you support the ground with one hand, it feels the same as standing normally!

Bi Fang even found that he didn't even break a sweat!

So cool!

The expansion of the scope of abilities is like expanding the house you live in. You can do more things with greater ease. You feel more relaxed both physically and mentally, and you feel powerful as if there is nothing you can't do.

Bi Fang resumed his hands on the ground, then bent his arms to support, and coordinated the waist and abdomen, and the whole person jumped upright in the inverted state.

It's as incredible as an animated character.

After exercising a bit, Bi Fang restrained his excitement and set his sights on the mitochondria enhancement coupon.

Mitochondria

The first time he saw this enhancement coupon, Bi Fang actually couldn't believe it.

Anyone who has studied biology knows how huge the role of mitochondria is, as it is the direct energy provider for biological activities!

Mitochondria are the energy factories of cells. Their main job is to consume oxygen and "burn" three major nutrients: sugars, lipids and amino acids to produce an energy "currency" - adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This is aerobic respiration.

Without mitochondria, humans would cease to exist, because the life activities of higher organisms require a large amount of energy, and the ATP produced by anaerobic glycolysis is only about 1/16 of aerobic oxidation.

A person has to break down ATP equivalent to his body weight every day. This much ATP is not stored in the body. The total weight of all ATP molecules in the human body is only about 50 grams.

In fact, each ATP molecule is reused 1,000-1,500 times per day.

Such a fast energy turnover depends on the efficient work of mitochondria.

This is only the most superficial role of mitochondria.

So far, the longest time humans have survived is 122 years, while some animals can live more than 500 years. What exactly determines human lifespan?

What makes us age and what prevents us from immortality?

Regarding aging, countless biological scientists have been conducting research one after another, trying to decipher the secret of longevity. Many hypotheses have been put forward so far, the most famous of which is the free radical aging theory.

Free radicals are generated during cellular reactions. Free radicals are produced when humans breathe every day. The more free radicals there are, the more likely it is to accelerate aging.

The main source of free radicals is the mitochondria, the power plant in the body.

What does its strengthening represent?

Bi Fang fell into deep thought for the first time.
