Doom Smuggler

Immediately afterwards, another thing came to mind, and he couldn't help asking: "Since you can't be regarded as a zombie now, can you continue to control the zombies in the ruins of Hangcheng?"

"Yes! The evolution of the level of life only allowed me to complete the transformation and transcend the limitations of the life of the zombies, but it does not mean that I have completely lost contact with the zombies.

The actual situation is that with the evolution of life level, my control over other zombies has been greatly strengthened!That's real mastery from high to low!

It is no exaggeration to say that the zombies in the ruins of Hangcheng are completely under my control.It's just that I don't have the opportunity to experiment with other city ruins for the time being.

But according to my guess, the zombies in the ruins of other cities can also be used by me.Unless there are existences of the same level as mine in the ruins of other cities.

To put it simply, after completing the evolution of the life level, I am transformed above the zombies, but I am above the ordinary zombie group, roughly... maybe I can be regarded as the king of corpses! "

Morgan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"The Corpse King? This is awesome! If you can mobilize a large number of zombies for your own use, then even if you encounter the armed forces of the Scarlet Legion, you don't have to be afraid at all!"

Chen Yang said with a little excitement.

"Ahem, cough, boss, you are going too far. The combat power of the armed forces of the Scarlet Legion is quite exaggerated. No matter how many zombies there are, it is difficult to form a qualitative change effect, and the grade gap between them and the evolutionary. Enough to make quantity a moot factor.

Of course, being able to control more zombies is definitely a good thing for our Shuguang base, which means that we can use this power to plunder more resources.At the same time, it can also greatly improve our ability to take risks.

However, Morgan is now roughly at the same level as a one-star evolutionary, so after my research, there is an upper limit to the number of zombies he can control.According to my guess, this upper limit should not exceed 100 million. "

As if choking on saliva, He Jianian coughed a few times before speaking.

"Has the total number of zombies in the ruins of Hangcheng reached this number? Since Morgan is now the king of corpses, then our thorough sweep of the ruins of Hangcheng must be smoother?"

Chen Yang asked.

"The thorough sweep of the ruins of Hangcheng has already begun. However, Xingzhou wants to temper all the armed personnel of the armed forces through this sweep. Therefore, the progress and scale of the sweep are always subject to Certain controls.

The zombie army under Morgan's command basically formed a barrier around the armed personnel.With the assistance of the zombie army, the casualties of armed personnel have been greatly reduced. It is estimated that in about half a month, the ruins of Hangcheng will be completely cleared up.

The total number of known zombies in the ruins of Hangcheng is probably no more than 20.Morgan has no difficulty in controlling them. The project we are currently testing is the farthest distance and range Morgan can control these zombies. "

He Jianian replied seriously.

847.8Chapter 17 A New Approach to Eternal Life

"Oh? What's the test result?"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously.

"At present, Morgan's control over the number of zombies, as well as the range and distance of controlling zombies, are all related to Morgan's own life level. With Morgan's current life level, his control range and distance over zombies can generally not exceed Fangyuan Thirty kilometers.

In other words, if Morgan is in our main base, then the farthest coverage of the zombies it controls cannot exceed the four sub-bases that have been built so far.Of course, if Morgan's life level can continue to improve, then this range will inevitably be relaxed accordingly! "

He Jianian gave a very clear answer.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yang nodded and said: "The current range is actually enough. The purpose of building sub-bases is not only to expand our actual control area, but also to protect the main base. network.

In this way, the main base will be protected by core sub-bases, and there will be a large number of zombies forming a buffer zone. Our overall defense force will be substantially improved. "

Morgan heard the words, and immediately answered: "We also have the same idea, so after the ruins of Hangcheng are completely swept away, we will immediately start to sweep the ruins of other surrounding cities together.

Except for the most dangerous ruins of Shencheng, the other nearby city groups are our next goals, so that we can accumulate the maximum number of zombies that I can control as quickly as possible.

This can be regarded as supporting war with battle. The more ruins the city sweeps away, the more zombies I can control.At the same time, the armed personnel get more exercise, which will also make them have stronger actual combat capabilities. "

Chen Yang was very satisfied with this, and patted Morgan's shoulder approvingly again, before turning his attention to the zombie being dissected.

"When I came in just now, I saw that you were dissecting this zombie very seriously? Is there anything special about it? Your research process has passed the stage of dissecting zombies, right?"

Chen Yang pointed at the weird zombie and asked.

"It is true that we have passed the stage of understanding ordinary zombies, but this zombie is not an ordinary zombie. It is a zombie after Morgan specially fed some evolved corpses according to my needs."

As He Jianian spoke, he moved away so that Chen Yang could see more clearly.

"After the zombie devours the evolutionary, the body will undergo obvious changes. It's just that the amount of evolutionary corpses that ordinary zombies can bear is extremely limited.

It is almost impossible for ordinary zombies to directly complete the improvement of life level by devouring the corpse of an evolutionary like Morgan.

Among the ten thousand zombies, perhaps only one can withstand the impact of the corresponding vitality. If the other zombies swallow too much, they will definitely explode on the spot! "

He Jianian pointed to the zombie he was about to dissect, and continued, "And this zombie was specially selected by Morgan, and it should be able to withstand the vitality enough to meet the evolutionary standard.

After devouring enough evolutionist corpses for it, we killed it immediately, and at the same time dissected it for the first time, so as to observe its physical changes. I hope...we can get a glimpse of the mystery of eternal life from it . "

"That is to say, the dissection hasn't started yet?"

Chen Yang suddenly became interested.

He took two steps forward, walked to the side of the operating table, and then said: "Then start the autopsy now, and I will watch from the side."

"Okay, boss, put on your protective clothing, so as not to splash blood on your body during the planing process."

As He Jianian spoke, he signaled Cao Fang to get protective clothing for Chen Yang and Li Lu.

Then he continued: "Although we have killed this zombie, what we have killed is only its behavioral consciousness, which is its brain. As for the body of the zombie, it is still alive.

Swallowing the corpse of the evolutionary made the vitality of this zombie unprecedentedly strong.Even if he loses consciousness, he can still live by relying solely on his physical body. To put it simply, he is like a vegetable. "

Chen Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Of course, only he himself knows whether he really understands it or pretends to understand it...

After giving a basic explanation, He Jianian took a special scalpel and began to cut up the zombie's body meticulously.

And while cutting, continue to popularize science for Chen Yang.

"Based on what we've come to now, it's generally believed that lifespan is related to telomeres. Telomeres are the two ends of DNA, and as we age, they get shorter and shorter until eventually they're too short. Unable to divide, life dies.

Its main function is to stabilize the structure of chromosome ends, prevent interchromosomal end junctions, and compensate for the vacancy caused by the end of the lagging strand after the elimination of RNA primers.Tissue cultured cells have demonstrated that telomeres play an important role in determining the lifespan of plant and animal cells.

Aging cells cultured over multiple generations have shorter telomeres and chromosomal instability.Cancer cells have telomerase, which can repair telomeres, and cancer cells are rampant with this thing. "

He Jianian carried out the dissection accurately, and the speed of his mouth was not in a hurry.

This is obviously to take care of Chen Yang's knowledge structure. Knowing that Chen Yang should not understand a lot of things, if he speaks quickly, it will naturally make Chen Yang feel even more clouded.

Therefore, after slowing down the speaking speed, let Chen Yang understand some of the words as much as possible, which will help Chen Yang understand what he is talking about.

It's just that after He Jianian spoke a part, he took the time to glance at Chen Yang's expression, and found that Chen Yang's face was full of bewilderment, and his eyes were empty, as if he had already lost his mind...

This made He Jianian couldn't help but sighed silently.

There was a strong feeling in my heart, like playing the piano with a cow.

"To give a concrete example, everyone has moles, and there is a correlation between the number of moles and the length of telomeres at the end of chromosomes. People with more than 25 moles have fewer telomeres than moles. People with [-] stars will have an average length equivalent to the age difference of six or seven years.

Many people think that moles are unsightly "flaws" on the body.In fact, however, scientific research has found that the more moles a person has, the slower the aging process.On the basis of 25 moles per capita, every additional [-] moles will make you look two to three years younger than your actual age. "

He Jianian said as plainly as possible.

Unfortunately, the bewildered look on Chen Yang's face did not change much with this explanation...

Chapter 848.848 A New Way to Pursue Immortality

Blinking his eyes and sorting out the mess in his brain as much as possible, Chen Yang said with some uncertainty: "So what you mean... If you want to truly achieve the goal of eternal life, you have to make as much of it as possible. Don't telomeres get shorter?"

"Correct!"

He Jianian felt a sense of comfort like an old father, and hurriedly continued: "This requires us to be able to master the characteristics of telomerase [-]%! Telomerase can fill up the telomeres lost in DNA replication, making telomeres Repair and elongation can prevent telomeres from being lost due to cell division and increase the number of cell divisions!

However, in normal human cells, the activity of telomerase is quite tightly regulated, and active telomerase can only be detected in hematopoietic cells, stem cells and germ cells, which must constantly divide .

When the cells are differentiated and mature, they must be responsible for the needs of various tissues in the body and perform their duties, so the activity of telomerase will gradually disappear.

For cells, it is not important whether they can continue to divide. The differentiated and mature cells will bear a more important mission, which is to make tissues and organs work and to prolong life.

In layman's terms, telomerase is an enzyme composed of catalytic protein and RNA template, which can synthesize DNA at the end of chromosomes and endow cells with immortality for replication! "

Chen Yang blinked innocently.

He wanted to make that look of realization.

But after all, I still have to face...

He Jianian was a little desperate, and refocused his attention on the explanation.

Then he said: "In short, extremely active telomerase can be found in zombies, so the vitality of zombies is extremely terrifying. But zombies have lost the ability to reproduce because of this, which makes me more concerned.

Life has laws that must be followed, and once this law is broken, it will suffer backlash and consequences accordingly.If the price of eternal life must be the loss of the ability to reproduce, I don't know if this kind of eternal life is really meaningful.

Before Morgan completed the evolution of the life level, he provided me with some cell samples. When I was a little surprised, Morgan seemed to have recovered some ability to reproduce after the evolution!

Although according to the test results, the sperm that Morgan can provide is seriously insufficient in activity, and there is almost no possibility of insemination, but this is still an exciting discovery.

That's why I asked Morgan to cooperate and get a zombie with the possibility of evolution. I want to observe every subtle change it produces comprehensively, meticulously, and specifically. "

Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

Although most of them didn't understand, at least they understood a little bit.

That is, He Jianian has indeed found a reasonable direction.

On the road of pursuing eternal life, another firm step has been taken.

He Jianian's pursuit of immortality is not the pathological pursuit of the Doctors Association.

The immortality he wants to see is the immortality of life forms, not the immortality of ideology.

But it's also harder, if not nearly impossible, to do.

Because the eternal life that He Jianian pursued has violated the foundation of life.

It is precisely because of death that we can have the ability to reproduce.

The continuation of genes is ensured through the change of life from generation to generation.

Once life does not die naturally, then reproduction will become an obvious phenomenon similar to 'BUG'.

Just like cancer cells, because cancer cells cannot be completely killed, they can divide without limit, which leads to the appearance of malignant tumors.

If it is just benign cell division, then there will be no problem if the benign tumor is removed.

Even in the vast majority of cases, benign cell division does not form tumors at all.

Because benign cells will die.

Dead cells will not accumulate continuously, and naturally cannot form tumors.

But cancer cells don't die.

Even with unlimited division, cancer cells will still survive forever.

Then this kind of cell division becomes a geometric growth of two, two, four, and four, until all benign cells are swallowed up...

Therefore, if human beings obtain eternal life, their ability to reproduce has not faded.

They can still produce offspring through mating as before.

At the same time, these descendants also have the ability to live forever, and the number is accumulating bit by bit.

Except for unnatural death, all human beings can continue to live, plundering and eroding resources continuously.

When this amount accumulates enough to cause fission... what will human beings become?

Will human beings become a cancer of the universe?

Quickly, at an incredible speed, erode the entire universe?

Thinking a little divergent, Chen Yang shook his head vigorously, and tried his best to pull his thoughts back.

There is no way, as long as Chen Yang thinks about the universe, Chen Yang will feel a little drifting involuntarily.

That kind of state is like the universe is so big, what is the earth?

The earth is so big, what is he?

But this feeling doesn't actually have any effect other than wearing down one's will.

After returning his attention to himself, he still needs to consider the future development of Shuguang Base and the follow-up business strategy of Chenyang Group.

What the universe is like is completely meaningless to him now...

"Ahem, okay, then you can continue to dissect and continue to study. I came here today mainly to ask you for a level-enhancing potion. By the way, I also want to understand with you what an evolutionary is.

After all... After the ninth level of strengthening, I am actually only one step away from being an evolutionary.When all the effects of the ninth-level strengthening potion are absorbed, I will start preparing to hit the evolutionary level, and it's time to learn more about it. "
