Chapter 375 Life Extension Potion

Soon, one day passed. Lu Li and his group walked around the country and found that life on the earth is actually good, and it is much more comfortable than before. Although everyone works and goes to school in the city, they are basically all Living in scenic towns, islands and other places, driving a flying car to work every day, due to the country’s rapid economic development, wages have been increasing, and the average annual salary is now 150,000. This money can make the whole family It was quite comfortable, and I could travel and shop abroad every weekend. Therefore, nowadays foreigners are very envious of the life of Longguo people, and Longguo people are also very easy to hook foreign girls.

However, there is also a phenomenon that makes Lu Li frown slightly. There are more and more young people who do not work or study at all. These people are basically immersed in various highly realistic virtual games, and they start every day when they wake up. Playing games, playing games, going to sleep when tired, and taking care of the usual life by intelligent creatures “butlers” who basically don’t have any contact with the outside world. People who haven’t been out in two or three years get a lot of them. These people are also divided into two types, one is to rely on family support, the other is to rely on the welfare of the state, the latter accounted for the majority.

Director Wu said helplessly: “I have read a survey report. There are more and more young people of this kind. Perhaps, this is the drawback of high welfare. Even if you don’t work, you can live comfortably. There will definitely be people. Choose not to work.”

Lu Li thought for a while and said: “If such a person 543 becomes the mainstream of society, no matter how advanced the technology is, the whole country will have no future at all. Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem.”

“It’s true.

Director Wu nodded in agreement. Although the productivity is very advanced now, even if everyone does not work, they can live very smartly, but in such a society, the development of science and technology will inevitably stagnate, and Vulcan civilization has had a history. During such a period, otherwise, the fleet of Vulcan civilization would come to the solar system 70 years in advance.

After Lu Li pondered for a moment, he said: “I have an immature idea. The country can draw up a set of contribution points system. Everyone’s welfare is directly linked to his contribution to society. The higher the contribution points, the welfare The better. In addition, products and services such as life extension medicine and human dormancy also need to contribute points to a certain standard before they can be purchased

Director Wu could not help but brighten up when he heard the words: “This is indeed a good way to mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm, so that everyone has a goal to strive for, and the source of contribution points can also be diverse, capable people, you can Contribution points can be obtained by participating in work, doing business, joining the army, etc.Those who are not able to (cedg) can also earn contribution points by doing community service, publicity work and other things within their ability. As for students, as long as they study hard, they Contribution points can be obtained. In addition, contribution points can also be obtained for doing good deeds, which can improve the social atmosphere.

Director Wu gets more excited as he speaks, and feels that the contribution points system is simply a magic trick, and it has a very positive effect on the development of the country. He has already decided, and after he returns, he will compile a written report and submit it to the relevant department.

After another two months in a blink of an eye, Lu Li finally completed the upgrade of the Zerg, made a batch of cells, and handed it to Xu Xiaochuan to cultivate, and then began to add the function of life extension to the gene medicine. This is a very important thing for him. Simple things, because he knows telomeres and telomerase in human cells well.

Telomere is actually a piece of DNA located at the end of a chromosome. Every time a cell divides, the length of the telomere will be shortened. When the length of the telomere is shortened to a lower level, the cell will stop dividing, that is, Telomere length determines the number of cell divisions.

As for telomerase, it is a very special protein polymerase that can synthesize telomere DNA, prolong telomere repair and increase the number of cell divisions, but in normal cells, the activity of telomerase is inhibited. Telomerase is active only in stem cells and germ cells.

Therefore, Lu Li’s task is to make telomerase in normal cells active.

A long time ago, Lu Li did a similar experiment with his own cells, and it was successful, but he didn’t go on in-depth research. It is not too easy to continue the research now.

It took only three days for Lu Li to research the life extension medicine.

However, this is for human use after all, and animal experiments must be done before human experiments.

after one day.

In the laboratory.

Lu Li began to do animal experiments.

The experimental materials are ten mice that have entered the late stages of life, which are roughly equivalent to 70-year-olds in humans, and their skin and organs are already aging.

“Ho ho ho ho!”

When the mouse saw Lu Li wearing a white scientific research suit, he cried a little nervously.

Lu Li is not soft-hearted, he directly grabbed a mouse from the iron cage, injected the medicine into the mouse, and then put it back into the iron cage.

Take out another white mouse and inject the medicine,

In this way, it took only three minutes, and all ten mice were injected with life-prolonging medicine.

As time passed, the life-extending medicine began to take effect, and the bodies of these mice began to change.

Ten hours later, the mice were obviously younger and their fur was shiny than before.

However, Lu Li frowned slightly, because the state of these little white mice was very abnormal. pimple.

“How is this going?

Lu Li dissected a mouse and finally found the reason. The telomerase in the mouse’s cells was indeed activated, but the cells of the whole body became like cancer cells, dividing wildly without control.

“It’s not a big problem.

Now that the reason has been found, it is easy to handle. Next, Lu Li spent a week to improve the life extension medicine, and then continue to experiment.

The experiment was a complete success. The skin and organs of ten mice all returned to a young state without any side effects.

Next “, human experiments can be carried out, but to be on the safe side, it is best to find some foreigners to carry out human experiments.

Thinking of this, Lu Li dialed Xu Xiaochuan’s phone and confessed.

A week later.

Twenty foreign volunteers travelled from the earth to Mars by Qusu Kunpeng. These volunteers were all over 65 years old, and their bodies experienced varying degrees of aging. If the experiment goes well, they will “rejuvenate” and become middle-aged. As for the human appearance, as for the life span, calculated based on the number of cell divisions, theoretically it can reach 300 years old. If the experiment fails, they may have various physical problems like the first batch of mice to conduct the experiment.

Therefore, before they set off, they signed an agreement, willing to bear all the consequences, and then received 20 million as a reward.
