Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

sociology.

A subject with equally broad coverage.

It covers all aspects of living things from birth to death, from one to ten thousand.

From a narrow perspective,

The large collective formed by a species and the civilization they construct are societies;

From a broad perspective,

A kind of intelligent life, as long as there is a plural number or more, constitutes a society.

The scope of sociological research is so vast.

Strictly speaking, even physics and engineering can be covered by it.

after all...

Sociology is the study of biological social behavior.

Sociality, behavior.

Behavior is the key point, and all behaviors can be classified into this category.

The field of scientific research is, to put it bluntly, part of the natural sciences.

The natural sciences, like the humanities and social sciences, are part of 'scientific research'.

'Scientific research', as a social behavior of intelligent life, can certainly be regarded as a part of sociology.

Of course, that's the theory.

In practice, this is not the case.

Because it is too easy to confuse and does not subdivide the field, it is inconvenient for further research planning.

In short, this is all for later.

Simply looking at Zhenhai’s powers,

She is mainly responsible for the arrangement of political tasks within the empire.

and the ideological realm.

They are all ideological, political, cultural, and theoretical things.

More abstract, more metaphysical.

This is why Su Wen arranged for her to lead the sociology department.

With her mind, she can achieve better management results than others.

Among the mental humanoids currently listed, Zhenhai is the one closest to the image of a 'counselor'.

..

but.

Although the field of sociology is relatively abstract.

But there’s also something concrete.

In terms of humans.

Their language, writing, culture, music, religion, politics, folklore, history...

These humanities and social science theories are all research contents of sociology.

But it’s not just that:

——The creature itself, 'human', is also an important research content.

Living things themselves are, of course, part of society.

Therefore, biology was not included in the physics department or the engineering department.

Instead, he was assigned to the Sociology Department.

On the one hand, for the latter two, the work pressure is too great and it is not suitable to add more to it.

On the other hand, it would be more efficient if it were managed solely by the Sociology Department.

As for the main tasks of biology...

Medical technology, prosthetic design, animal research, environmental modification;

Etc., etc.

A large number of technical fields are covered.

The thing that Su Wen pays the most attention to at the moment is naturally genetic modification.

This is now his number one magic weapon when cooperating with China.

Even if we don’t consider the issue of cooperation with China.

Su Wen himself also has a certain demand for gene-enhancing potions.

after all...

He himself is also a beneficiary of technology in this field.

Should he say it or not, he still attaches great importance to things that can help improve his own safety.

Su Wen still hopes that one day,

Can you rely on genetic medicine to truly strengthen yourself to the point of being invincible in the world?

With a perfect genetic enhancement, he had acquired an extraordinary physique.

If the four dimensions of strength, agility, speed, and endurance of an ordinary adult male are used as the standard, they are all 10 points.

Now Su Wen's fourth dimension is definitely over a thousand.

Tens of thousands is not necessarily possible.

After all, this kind of thing is not easy to test.

That's all for strength, agility, and speed.

With better machines, there is always a way.

The limit of endurance...

It has not gone through the same extreme level of actual combat testing. To be honest, it is difficult to test whether it is good or bad.

However, Su Wen's requirements are not high.

Although it's not tens of thousands, I can't guarantee it.

But there should always be several thousand.

This is a full plan, and the total is only strengthened twice.

He has become this kind of creature that can be called a supernatural being.

How many times will this happen...

It’s not that we can’t look forward to becoming an immortal and becoming an ancestor!

Even if the combat power measurement method of the fantasy frequency is too vague, it is difficult to be sure.

But right now, his single-target combat effectiveness...

Putting on the mecha, he might be able to fight the movie version of the purple sweet potato head with butt and chin.

If I get a few more injections later, I can actually have a fight with the comic version of Purple Potato Head. Is that okay?

Two, three, or three or four times won’t work.

Then come a few more times!

After all, it is something developed by my own family. When I use it, I spend money from my own pocket, and I don’t have to look at other people’s faces.

Even though Su Wen is a mechanic, he still has the heart of a close-combat macho!

What's more.

Rely on genes to ascend and become a cosmic-level powerhouse...

It’s very exciting to think about it!

..

However, it backfired.

Su Wen's expectations were disappointed.

However, it cannot be said to be completely unsuccessful:

This time the genetic enhancement potion was not another round of overall increase in physical fitness as he had imagined.

It's another rather special direction of strengthening...

"life."

"This newly developed genetic modification technology affects carbon-based organisms, to be precise, it affects humans - at least primates.

Specifically used to modify the upper limit of human lifespan. "

At this time, Zhenhai stood behind the desk, took out a stack of files and handed them to Su Wen.

The latter took these reports and sat down on the chair where the fragrance of white plum blossoms still lingered on Zhenhai.

When I opened the title page of the report, I subconsciously looked around.

Compared to other leaders of scientific research departments, Zhenhai's office is much more bookish.

It is as if even in the main control tower, a cabinet has been dedicated to hold bone china tea sets, and many high-end ebony wood inlaid furniture have been placed in the office.

Zhenhai’s office is also filled with all kinds of antique bamboo and wood products.

Facing the left and right sides of the door, there are huanghuali wood bookcases.

In the corner, there is a tripod-style incense burner with gold and silver interlaced gold and longevity vine patterns depicting entwined lotuses, quietly exuding the green smoke of Jia Luo incense.

With the mental humanoid's thinking ability and calculation rate per second, there is a high probability that they will not be able to use the very primitive and very inefficient - for them - learning method of 'reading'.

Moreover, with the physical qualities of the mental humanoids, the effect of fragrant wood on them must be minimal.

The reason why such a situation occurs may be due to the influence of the side of their thinking that is closer to humans.

'Preference' itself is the embodiment of 'humanity'.

Without human mechanical intelligence, there is no preference at all.

"..."

Su Wen was multitasking, with some mixed thoughts passing through his mind.

His hands kept moving, carefully flipping through the stack of documents word for word.

This is not technical detail.

Rather, it is a comprehensive and well-detailed introduction including technical principles, brief descriptions of experimental records, and process introduction of technical results.

Zhenhai, who didn't know what his commander was just thinking about, acted conscientiously as the second officer.

Considering that our commander is, after all, the user who is about to receive the genetic enhancement provided by this technology,

Maybe I can't wait to some extent,

Therefore, she directly explained the technical principles and details:

"The reason why this is a gene enhancement technology that can only work on carbon-based organisms is because the angle it cuts in is chromosome telomeres - its technical principle itself is based on modifying the division of linear chromosome telomeres. properties, thereby achieving the purpose of extending the life span of living organisms, and even further achieving immortality..."

As soon as he heard this word, Su Wen felt very familiar.

That was indeed familiar.

Telomeres are directly related to human life, aging, illness and death.

Whether it is the original world or this world,

Whether it is science fiction works or investment products,

When thinking about concepts such as immortality and life extension, few people would not mention telomeres.

Telomeres are small DNA/protein complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotic cells.

For example.

If a chromosome is two spirally wound ropes.

Then telomeres are the knots at the end of the rope.

The human body is composed of countless cells. These cells, which are invisible to the naked eye, constitute the macroscopic existence of our entire body.

Cells have a limited lifespan, and maintaining their functionality requires energy.

Therefore, the human body needs a continuous intake of nutrients and energy to supplement their consumption, so that these microscopic organic macromolecules can continue to proliferate through division or differentiation and maintain various functions of various organs and tissues in the human body.

This is called metabolism.

but...

There is an upper limit to the number of cell divisions.

Although it is high, it is limited after all.

Every time various cells in the human body divide, the telomeres at the ends of their chromosomes become shorter.

Normally, it is not a 'genetic lock' that locks the upper limit of human lifespan.

On the contrary, this lock locks the DNA integrity of chromosomes, protecting the safety and controllability of the cell division process in the human body.

When cells divide, telomeres shorten,

But the shortening of the latter comes at the expense of protecting DNA fragments.

Newly emerged cells can continue to inherit complete DNA fragments without loss.

Thus achieving the same good functionality as before.

This is the basic requirement for the normal functioning of various tissues and organs of the human body.

Until the telomeres are too short, new cells will begin to damage DNA fragments.

And when such damage accumulates to a certain extent...

All kinds of diseases will surround you like a shark seeing blood.

In other words, at this time, the person has reached his upper limit of natural death.
