Cyber Heroes

Xiang Shan sat back on the chair, only feeling that his feet were soft, as if he had just walked around the edge of the abyss.

Neither Yoggmov nor Nyaguti could see his mental activity at that moment.

This is what he immediately thought of.

If the signal factor mentioned in Yoggmov plan C can reverse the life cycle of the immune system, then...

Can it reverse the overall life cycle of humans? Reach directly to recover one's youthful vigor?

This idea exploded in his mind like a chain reaction, causing various problems.

If the aging of Homo sapiens can be reversed, it is certainly a good thing. At this stage, this technology has been developed, and it can also save more people and allow more people to reach the standard of "becoming a benchmark person".

However, this will also cause new problems. Now those old people who have everything in control will have a longer lifespan. According to the agreements made by several major powers on the Security Council, their status will remain intact until 2055-this trend has already taken shape. They can take everything into their hands calmly, and then wait until the resolution of the Security Council expires, and then obtain the share of the benchmark.

Will the new technology explode, will it increase social unrest? Or let those old people Jin Ou last forever?

There are so many things that this achievement may involve. A pointer even appeared in Xiang Shan's heart, sliding between "studying this technology" and "abandoning this technology".

But no matter which side it is, it is involved in the fate of the entire world.

Fortunately, Yoggmov said that such technology cannot recover one's youthful vigor.

"...How is it possible to recover one's youthful vigor?" Yoggmov is still chattering and explaining: "Aging does not occur on the cellular level alone. At a more micro level, the accumulation of DNA damage, end The change in grain length, at a more macro level, the degeneration of the body's functional structure and the decline of functions cannot be alleviated by this method."

Xiang Shan waved his hand. fair enough. No one needs to make a choice for this.

Xiang Shan hold his head: "If you think about it like this... it doesn't seem to be a problem?"

"No, there is actually one." Nya Guti picked up Tablet, quickly confirming something: "The problem is the cost of R&D. You should have noticed what Yogg said "past experience"..."

Xiang Shan slapped his head: "'Small Revitalizing Pill' project. But isn’t the Small Revitalizing Pill project...steady progress? Dr. Tao is almost recovering, right."

"Well, progress is stable, but it is also stable."

The project aims to develop technology to repair nerve damage. In the process of human prosthesis, there will be a large number of changes that are closely related to the "neural system". Each change may cause irreversible nerve damage. The project was launched in response to this.

But progress is slow.

No, it's not that it's really slow. In academia, it is not uncommon for a major project to be done for ten years. However, the R&D organization of Superman Enterprise is a place where the best scientists from all over the world gather. The daily routine here is to "make revolutionary results".

This project has already existed in the entrepreneurial period of Superman. After Dr. Tao Enhai joined in 2039, it has increased the tilt of resources, but it can only be said to be "steady progress."

"In fact, all the compounds currently used in the'Small Revitalizing Pill' project have only achieved success in the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system, especially the brain, is progressing very poorly. "Niya Guti shook her head: "The difficulty of this project will only be higher than that of the'Small Revitalizing Pill' project."

"Huh?" Xiang Shan was shocked: "Is that so? Neural system." Isn’t it more complicated than the immune system?"

"The complexity of the neural system is complex in the larger neural network structure-you know this better than us. And it is very pure at the cellular level, only neuroglue Plasma cells and neurons are two major categories." Nyaguti shook her head: "But the immune system...Immune organs include bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, etc. And the immune cells all over the body include lymphocytes, Mononuclear phagocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, mast cells, NK cells... It is very diverse at the cellular level. The immune system can be said to be a system distributed throughout the body, purely based on The'flowing brain' of chemical signals to exchange information."

"In addition, toggling the cell life cycle will inevitably touch a part of the proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes-this is also the Small Revitalizing Pill project is still conquering. "Proto-oncogene" is a kind of "underlying code" genes that are extremely ancient and conserved in evolution, and may even be traced back to single-celled organisms. They can promote cell growth and activate cell cycle. The key function.

Proto-oncogenes whose mutations are out of control are the "source of power" for cancer, but under normal circumstances, they are the key to controlling cell growth and development. If there is no priming and expression of the proto-oncogene, the cell will not grow or divide.

Reversing the cell life cycle will inevitably touch some proto-oncogenes.

——As for cancer...

"Fuck, I was waiting for me here." Xiang Shan covered his head: "Neurons hardly divide after they mature. System tumors are basically derived from various glial cells. However, the immune system itself is very capable of dividing..."

The immune system proliferates vigorously, which proves that its proto-oncogenes are quite active. Once the proto-oncogene has a mutation, it will enter the trend of rapid development of cancer.

It is not uncommon for immune cells to become cancerous by themselves. Moreover, once immune cells become cancerous... whether it is leukemia caused by white blood cell cancer or lymphoma caused by T cell cancer, there is basically no possibility of benignity.

Xiang Shan patted his head: "Ah...so that's how it is so that's how it is. Scheme A and Scheme B are both very mature technologies. There is nothing innovative about Scheme D." . But this C plan..."

"If Yogg wants to quote'past experience', then the'Small Revitalizing Pill Project' also raises another problem, that is, re-differentiation after de-differentiation. "Niya Guti said: "There are several medicines that have been eliminated in the Small Revitalizing Pill project. If these medicines are too high in concentration, they may even directly reverse neurons into neural stem cells. If these neural stem cells are redifferentiated, most of them are Directly differentiate into glial cells instead of neurons."

"Calling a'state at a specific point in time' is more difficult than simply'reversing the life cycle'. The difference here is For example,'click the replay button' and'drag the progress bar to find the specific segment you want'."

"In the Small Revitalizing Pill project, this problem is already so difficult. You have to It is applied to the more complex immune system at the cellular level..." Nya Guti shook the head.

Yoggmov is very confident: "I can solve this problem."

Xiang Shan already understands why Yoggmov has such a good attitude today.

"How much do you plan to spend?"
