I don't have a system but I have a hammer

...............

[Three days later, Junk Star, Junk Town...]

[Abandoned factory, inside the third-floor office...]

[Having finished browsing several documents, I turned off the virtual screen in front of me, stretched deeply, lowered my head and took a sip of hot tea, then raised my head to look through the window at the hot sun outside the building, and squinted my eyes. , I was about to find a sofa to take a nap, but at any moment the office door suddenly rang...]

"dong dong dong~"

"Enter…"

[With a wave of my hand, I closed all the curtains made of virtual particles. After turning on the indoor light, I turned to look at the medicine bottle that had been pushed in. When I found that his face was red and he was almost ready to speak. At this time, I couldn’t help but be stunned...]

"what happened?"

"Extreme...Extreme Life Body..."

[The medicine bottle can be said to be so exciting that I can’t help myself, but I still suppressed my inner excitement and shouted...]

"Success!"

"what?"

[As soon as I heard this, my face was shocked and I immediately stood up and left my seat...]

"Let's go and see..."

"Wait, wait, wait, don't be impatient..."

[He asked me to pull him and was about to leave. Yao Yao immediately couldn’t laugh or cry, and quickly pulled me back...]

"Success is a success, but the experimental subjects are still undergoing resistance experiments. Even if I take you there, you have to wait until tomorrow to see the results of the experiment..."

"Damn, how do you know you succeeded?"

"Because the first batch of data has come out..."

[While speaking, the medicine bottle has pushed me back to my seat and projected various data images. I pointed at the data above that I couldn’t understand and explained excitedly...]

"Look here, do you know what this is? This is the speed of telomere growth and the length of each growth. You may not know what this concept is. Let me tell you this, the length of telomeres directly determines the biological life…"

"Another explanation is that the longer the telomeres, the more times a cell can divide, and the longer a person's life span will naturally be. According to your human telomere situation, once you are over 25 years old, the telomeres cannot After growing up, even the chosen one will only be around 30 years old at most..."

"The same applies to those who have transcended their bodies. In fact, lifespan is also determined based on the length of telomeres. Last time I checked your body, based on the length of telomeres, lifespan is basically set at 450 to 850 years. As for why there is a difference of more than four hundred years, I believe it has something to do with your unique blood demon gene, but that is not the point..."

"The key point is that even if the body is as strong as a person who transcends the body, after reaching a certain level, the telomeres will no longer grow. This is the physical law set by the entire nature, or the entire universe, but the existence of the extreme life body. It completely violates this law of physics, because just now..."

[His eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke, and his mental state seemed to have changed from the fatigue every time he saw it, and instead became radiant...]

"We used a large number of synthetic catalysts to forcibly increase the cell division speed of the extreme life form, and used the number of cell divisions to detect the growth or decrease of the telomeres of the extreme life form as they age..."

"The first batch of data showed that even if the extreme life form has reached 4650 years old, telomeres will continue to grow after 48 hours. Of course, red pigment plays a vital role in this, but this This is already very exaggerated, because no matter what kind of organism in this star cluster..."

[His eyes are blazing, but his tone is deep and deep...]

"It's impossible for anyone to survive over 1000 years old without a cryogenic warehouse, and this is just the first batch of data. When the ultimate life form breaks through the 5000-year-old mark, we will increase the dosage of the catalyst. If the The second batch of data shows that telomeres continue to grow, phew~"

"This means that the lifespan of the Extreme Life Body can be at least more than 10,000 years. Although this cannot be completely called immortal technology, it already represents the super potential of the Extreme Life Body and red pigment. In the future, we will only need Just continue to increase the dose and continue to observe whether the telomeres are still growing..."

[After listening to everything, the expression on my face is still exciting, but most of the fire in my heart has dissipated. After all, I only have a life span of 10,000 years. This has nothing to do with the word "eternal life", but see Pill Bottle was in a high mood, and it was hard for me to dampen his enthusiasm, so I could only...]

"Haha, that's great. I'm starting to look forward to what you said, but I would like to ask, how old do you think a supreme being must be before it can truly be called immortal?"

"Well…"

[This question seemed to stump the medicine bottle. Maybe he had never thought about this question himself, so he pondered for nearly ten seconds before giving a thoughtful response...]

"It's like this. Although I have been fascinated by the experiments of extreme life entities during this period, I have also learned about the biotechnology of extraterrestrial civilizations through those puppet rulers. Of course, I have also learned a lot from them, but I also found that A strange point has emerged, that is, except for the middle-level, lower-level, and low-level extraterrestrial civilizations, the remaining civilizations do not seem to have pursued technology or research related to immortality..."

"In other words, they pursue eternal life in a different way, because their thoughts are deeper than ours. Well... It should be said that we and them are taking different paths. You see, what we pursue is individual eternal life, right?"

"What about the extraterrestrial rulers of the top star clusters? Although they initially pursued individual immortality, their purpose of pursuing individual immortality was to serve the eternity of civilization. This starting point is different from ours, so We can only study individual immortality..."

"But they can transcend individual immortality and directly study the eternity of civilization. Just like the Helle civilization, it has transformed all the people on the planet into the best individuals. In this way, even if one dies, the rest They can also select the youngest among them to continue to serve as the ruler of the Helle civilization. Even if an outstanding scientific worker dies, they can still continue to engage in scientific research in this way, even if they have not yet run for election... "

"In addition, there are many top-level civilizations, such as the Dole civilization. Their method is very similar to the Herlie civilization. In fact, they convert all the best talents from the body into information data and input it into the brains of various intelligent robots. , turning every robot into the best talent, these are the ways to make civilization last forever..."

[Seemingly aware of the problem with his words, he looked at me drinking tea and added...]

"You can also understand it as a way to forever preserve the potential of a civilization on the road of development..."
