Chapter 658 Is this still the original you?

"Is this matter really so urgent? Can't we let other people go in and explore first, and see what kind of reaction they will have?"

Lu Zhiyao knows that everyone is equal in principle, but it is undeniable that everyone's importance to Blue Star is definitely different.

Some people are highly replaceable, while others are almost irreplaceable.

On this point, Lu Zhiyao and Lin Shi still have the same idea.

"This matter is far more urgent than you think. We can let others go down first, but no matter what, I think I have to go there in person. Some things, maybe only I can solve them."

Xu You knew that the secrets inside the moon might have something to do with the system he got.

Anyway, Xu You had long been prepared to become an astronaut, and it was not a sudden decision to go to the moon in person.

After that, Xu You told Lu Zhiyao about some of his preparations, including some of the bottom-of-the-box preparations.

"Yaoyao, before I go to the moon, I will conquer the consciousness uploading technology and the human omnipotent stem cell regeneration technology. Even if something happens to me, I can be resurrected again through this method."

The consciousness uploading technology that Xu You mentioned is to upload a person's consciousness to the computer cloud. In this way, immortality can be achieved to a certain extent.

The upper limit of the totipotent stem cell regeneration technology can be used to cultivate a complete individual from a person's somatic cells.

Xu You knew that it didn't make any sense to just copy one's body, what was more important was to copy one's consciousness.

If you can copy your own consciousness into this new body, it is theoretically equivalent to a kind of rebirth.

"But, will this you be the same as the original you?"

"Don't say it's 100% the same, it's 99%. Of course, this is also a helpless move in the most extreme situation. At least it allows me to survive in another way."

Lu Zhiyao couldn't accept such a method for a while, and even Xu You himself knew that it was difficult to achieve eternal life in an absolute sense with the current technology.

And Xu You knew that besides these, Xu You also had a final hole card.

That's this amazing system.

As early as when Xu You was researching the artificial heart in order to save Wang Xiangwu, his life was almost in danger because of the overload of his brain power.

At this time, it was the system that activated the self-protection mechanism that protected Xu You's brain.

Xu You didn't know where the upper limit of the system's self-protection mechanism was, but it was definitely the last barrier to protect Xu You.

"Then can I go to the moon with you?"

Lu Zhiyao suddenly raised this question, and Xu You hesitated after hearing it.

Lin Shi also proposed the same idea just now, Xu You rejected it decisively after hearing it, because Lin Shi did have other missions and was not suitable for appearing on the moon.

Unlike Lin Shi, Lu Zhiyao didn't need to perform any other tasks.

In addition, Xu You also promised to go on a space trip with Lu Zhiyao.

If something unexpected happens to Xu You, then this is the last chance.

However, Xu You was a little worried about Lu Zhiyao's safety, hesitated for a while, and did not make a decision right away.

"Why, Xu You, is there any hesitation? It should be very safe just to travel to the moon. In addition, if something really happens, I can also upload my consciousness and keep my almighty stem cells. Together with you, I will be resurrected in this way."

Lu Zhiyao's words left Xu You no reason to refute.

"Well... that's fine, let's go to the moon together. But don't do dangerous things like entering the black hole."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After waking up the next day, Xu You did not rush to contact the Shenzhou Space Administration, but together with Lu Zhiyao, first went to find Gao Mi who was in charge of stem cell research.

"Academician Xu, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Professor Gao, I haven't heard about the progress of the project for a long time. How are the various researches of the project going?"

"Everything is going smoothly. We have mastered the method of cultivating complete individuals of various animals from somatic cells."

Gao Mi told Xu You about the progress of various projects in detail. The project team has studied various more advanced mammals from the mouse experiment at the beginning.

So far, the project team has been able to start from monkey somatic cells, restore them to totipotent stem cells, and cultivate a complete individual without relying on any mother.

At this time, Xu You asked:

"If the subject of the experiment is a human body, what is the probability of the experiment being successful?"

"Theoretically, we can cultivate a complete human body from a somatic cell. Technically, there is no problem at all. It's just that such experiments face great ethical issues, and we are not yet suitable for such experiments. .”

After listening to Gao Mi's narration, Xu You felt confident.

Now that the experiment has been done from mice to monkeys, it is true that the human body is cultivated in the same way, and there will not be too many technical problems.

After getting Gao Mi's affirmation, Xu You said:

"Professor Gao, please extract some of the various cells in my body. Extract as many as possible. If something happens to me later, I will regenerate my body. Also, my lover Lu Zhiyao is the same."

Hearing Xu You's words, Gao Mi was very surprised. He didn't know why Xu You would suddenly act like this.

"Professor Gao, don't be surprised. This is just an insurance preservation of cells, just like keeping the umbilical cord blood when the fetus is just born. It is very likely that it will not be used at all."

Xu You didn't reveal too many details to Gao Mi, after all, Gao Mi's job is only to study stem cells, and he doesn't need to know too many things.

"Well, of course there is no problem. I will arrange this matter immediately."

Soon, Gao Mi found several experimenters and arranged for them to extract the cells of Xu You and Lu Zhiyao.

Theoretically speaking, the more cells are extracted, the easier the subsequent experiments will be to succeed. Of course, because the volume occupied by a cell itself is very small, even if millions of cells are extracted, the actual volume occupied is still very small.

In order to further ensure the success rate of follow-up experiments, Gao Mi specially arranged to collect several kinds of body cells to enrich the diversity of cells.

"Academician Xu, with so many cells, it is basically no problem to restore an individual. I will keep these cells well, and most of them will definitely survive within fifteen years."
