Reborn Tech Scholar

Chapter 665 Body and Soul

The scholars in the conference room are at least world-class scholars, and even the world's top life scientists. After Qin Yuanqing said a little bit, almost all of them could understand, and everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Because what Qin Yuanqing said is right, although the relevant theories in the field of modern physiology and medicine believe that the human life span can reach 150 years old, but even if some human beings can live to 150 years old, then more than half of the time is in the aging stage, how can we truly live? If it plays a role, if the problem of aging is not solved, the phenomenon of aging will become more and more prominent, but social contradictions will become more and more prominent.

That is to say, if the problem of human aging is not delayed, the average life expectancy increases, the consumption of society increases, and the value created decreases.

This is undoubtedly a hidden danger!
Although there are constant calls to delay the retirement age to 70 years old, but if the problem of aging is not resolved, they will ask if they dare to let a 70-year-old man move bricks on the construction site, and if they dare to let a 70-year-old man be a driver.
There is no doubt that that is unrealistic!
"Then, what causes human aging?" Qin Yuanqing asked a question, and everyone couldn't help showing doubts.

Yes, how does human aging happen?

As scholars, they would not lightly say that life, old age, sickness and death are human nature, or that life, old age, sickness and death are all determined by God. That is the thinking of philosophers, not scientists.

"I think there are two aspects that cause people to age: one is the body, and the other is the soul." As soon as Qin Yuanqing finished speaking, the picture on the screen has changed, and everyone's attention is fixed on the picture on the screen: " In terms of the body, we all know that, from a broad perspective, it is composed of the head, neck, torso, and limbs that we can see, and can be further divided into skin, bones, muscles, etc., while the internal organs are completely intact. Questions are important."

"If you look at it from a microscopic perspective, it's genes. Maybe at the genetic level, there are genes that determine aging." Qin Yuanqing said: "I have a point of view or point of view. Genes or DNA affect the body. Genes and DNA are not fixed numbers. It is a variable, so people can make a certain gene stronger through exercise. At the same time, the environment also affects genes and DNA, so we have seen that the improvement and progress of medical treatment has extended people's life span."

"As for the soul, although no definite evidence has been found to prove its existence, I can clearly say that the soul exists, but it is very mysterious, and we have not found effective means to find it." Qin Yuanqing said When it comes to the soul, it is full of confidence: "Even in a sense, the soul is the essence of life!"

"Why are people full of spirituality than other animals and are called the master of all spirits? Why are vegetative people half-dead despite having the characteristics of life? Why do we always have all kinds of messy dreams when we sleep? Why do we walk at night, I always feel that there is something following me?" Qin Yuanqing raised several phenomena of ordinary people: "Is it the soul!? Because the human soul is powerful, endowing humans with intelligence and spirituality than animals? Vegetables have life characteristics but cannot wake up , Is the soul lost, no soul?"

"When people are old, do they feel old? Is it because the soul is eroded by the years and becomes old?" Qin Yuanqing asked himself and answered, his tone was full of uncertainty. Even Qin Yuanqing couldn't understand this question.

He knows that the soul exists, because he can feel his own soul. Whenever he encounters danger, he can detect it immediately and lock the location of the threat.

And he inexplicably passed through rebirth, which itself is difficult to explain with common sense.

Not only the examples cited by Qin Yuanqing, but also in the field of scholars, why it is difficult for mathematicians to make great achievements after the age of 40? Everyone knows that the thinking has begun to decline, but why is the body still in the golden age at the age of 40? , it stands to reason that it should be the time when you are full of energy, why does your thinking first appear to go downhill?Even in other disciplines, at the age of 50, they are actually facing a decline in thinking and energy, and it is difficult to make great achievements.

And logically, the older you are, the richer your experience is.

In the conference room, all 100 people looked thoughtful. If they were ordinary people, they would think that Qin Yuanqing was crazy and talking nonsense, but they all looked thoughtful, because this is indeed a dilemma faced by the life sciences today. , the two issues of longevity and aging are always the most essential research issues in the field of life sciences.

The reason why more and more rich people invest in some fields of life sciences is because they hope that the field of life sciences can make breakthroughs in lifespan and aging, and they can take the lead in breaking through.

If it is said who is most afraid of death and old age, it is not ordinary people, but those with power and the rich.For ordinary people, death and aging are actually not that scary, at most, they will be a hero again 18 years later.But for those in power and the rich, it's different. Just look at how many emperors in Chinese history, who can be called wise and powerful, turned out to be obsessed with the pursuit of immortality when they got older, so that the country was in turmoil.As for the rich, they finally worked hard to become extremely rich and lived a luxurious life, but in the end they had to watch helplessly that they could not use up their wealth and were about to leave this world.

It's a pity that no matter how anti-aging methods are used now, they are actually useless.For example, whether you have plastic surgery or take any medicine, you may look young, but you are actually old.

this is the truth!
Qin Yuanqing is now trying to solve the proposition of delaying aging from a scientific point of view. For this reason, he has invested heavily in gathering such a large number of scientists, and the level of confidentiality is so high.Because this proposition is so important that it will subvert the entire world, change the entire era, and change the future of mankind.

If the result is made and the result is leaked, the loss will be huge.

Qin Yuanqing divided the whole project into two parts, one part was about the body and the other part was about the soul. The person in charge of the project was Yan Ning, who also focused on this project.

As for Qin Yuanqing, he will not put too much energy on this, and his main energy is still on the 'Double Ring Space Station'.

In 2031, the construction task of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is very heavy, and 10 standard modules with a total weight of 1000 tons will be launched into space for connection.Moreover, part of the equipment and instruments will be transported to the standard module by the aerospace transport plane, for verification and inspection of wires, communication equipment, etc., and for astronauts to work in the module.

When standard modules are launched into space, they are not spliced ​​piece by piece at once, but are spliced ​​into a large piece every four pieces, and a large splicing is carried out every two years.

At the same time, the lunar base also undertakes the task of manufacturing accessories, producing high-performance rotating shafts. This rotating shaft cannot be built on the earth, because the earth has air pressure and strong gravity, and the cost is very high. Large, but it is not difficult to produce on the moon. Whether it is the extraction of rare elements, the forging environment, or the radiation enhancement of cosmic rays, it is the best choice.

The construction of the 'Double Ring Space Station' is far more difficult than building a production base on the moon. As long as the equipment and instruments are transported to the lunar production base, it can continue to develop and use the resources of the moon to gradually grow from small to large and superimposed.But the 'Double Ring Space Station' is different. There is a forbidden area for life, so we must be careful. Any manipulation must be cautious and precise, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.

For example, spacesuits, once the extravehicular spacesuits are damaged, the astronauts are likely to die!
In space, the horror of cosmic rays is no less than nuclear weapons to human beings, and can destroy people.

It is also true that the earth's atmosphere, like a layer of protective armor, protects the earth so that the earth can breed life.

"Boss, this subject is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it, why don't you be the person in charge of the subject." After the meeting, Yan Ning followed Qin Yuanqing to Qin Yuanqing's office, and said with a wry smile.

Yan Ning, who is 53 years old, is no longer the goddess of science, but this does not hinder her charm. As a Nobel Prize winner, she is now a genuine top scientist in life. She is an authoritative expert in the field of cells. have attainments.

That's why Qin Yuanqing asked Yan Ning to be the person in charge of the project.

But when Yan Ning thought of the huge subject of 'delaying aging', and it also involved both body and soul, Yan Ning felt weak.The initial investment in this subject is 10 billion, with no upper limit.The funds not only come from state funds, but also from a part of Qin Yuanqing's private funds. Yan Ning is really afraid that this subject will become a bottomless pit, and Qin Yuanqing will go bankrupt directly.

"You are very suitable to be the person in charge of this project. If you have confidence in yourself, I believe you can do it." Qin Yuanqing patted Yan Ning on the shoulder and said, "This project will continue. I hope we can overcome it in our lifetime. Then We will change the entire human race!"

"Since ancient times, the pursuit of immortality has been the instinctive pursuit of human beings. We humans want to enter the universe. This subject is a difficulty we must overcome." Qin Yuanqing said in a deep voice, looking at the scenery outside the window, Qin Yuanqing was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty Instead, his eyes are deep, as if his eyes can see through the years and see hundreds of years into the future.

He saw that through their own efforts, human beings have transformed the moon and Mars into habitable planets, which are full of people. Human beings can mine planets and celestial bodies to obtain a large amount of resources, but human beings are so fragile and age early. , even if you are old and unwilling, there is nothing you can do.

He saw the human struggle, but ultimately to no avail.He saw that in order not to age, some people transplanted their minds into robots and separated them from the body, so as to avoid aging. However, if a person loses his body and only his mind is left, it is not life at all, but has gone on an evil path.
