Chapter 514 The Final Choice (for Subscription)

Biomedicine is the comprehensive application of the principles and methods of life science and engineering science. From the perspective of engineering, it has always been a popular industry to understand the structure, function and other life phenomena of the human body at multiple levels in molecules, cells, tissues, organs and even the whole human body system.

Now, Mu Yang can choose one of the directions for research.

Such as tumors, AIDS, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc., if they can be solved, they will indeed benefit all mankind and bring them great fame and wealth.

The problem is, Mu Yang himself and his family members do not have these diseases, and he does not lack wealth or fame.

He wants to be great.

However, there is currently only one choice he can make.

Among the ten directions given by the system, Mu Yang felt that each of them was very awesome.

He didn't sleep all night, he kept thinking about which one to choose, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight when he was really sleepy.

the next day,

Mu Yang fell asleep again, and didn't wake up until his son stepped on his stomach.

"Dad, sleep late, the sun is shining on your buttocks, get up quickly."

"You bad guy, don't let Dad sleep for a while."

Mu Yang grabbed him and licked his waist, making him tickle and laugh out loud.

I don't dare to torment the child too much, I heard that it is easy to make the child speak poorly.

After getting up, rinsing, brushing and going downstairs, Ma Lan saw his son going downstairs, and said concernedly:

"Young people should be more restrained. You have to pay attention to your health when you have children. I'll make you breakfast."

Mu Yang was a little speechless: "Last night I worked and went to bed late."

However, my mother didn't quite believe his explanation.

There is also a chef at home. Sometimes my mother wants to do it herself, afraid that if she does not do any work, her body will become stiff and she will forget some skills.

When his mother brought breakfast, Mu Yang looked at her for a while.

There are more and more wrinkles on her face, no matter how good the family economy is, it still cannot withstand the ravages of time.

The grandparents who live in their hometown, since the family’s economy has improved, their physical condition has not improved much. They still love vegetarian food and vegetables grown at home. They don’t eat meat every meal. In fact, they are no different from Mu Yang. There is not much difference before the hairline, it is just that the living environment is better, and it is no longer made for money.

"Actually, I already have a choice in my heart, but I'm just a little unwilling." While eating breakfast, Mu Yang had already made a decision in his heart.

"If you choose to prolong your life, as long as you live long enough and accumulate enough achievement points, you can still open up other research directions, and your family members can live longer.

But if he had a short life, with the difficulty of obtaining achievement points, he felt that he could at most open up a third research direction in this lifetime. "

Mu Yang simply didn't go to the company this morning and stayed at home.

After breakfast, he came to the study, calmed down, and thought about whether his choice was wrong.

About half an hour later, the analysis was completed again, and the result was still: choose life first!

Perhaps his choice was wrong, and there may be better choices, but choosing this longevity extension would not be too wrong.

With lifespan, there is plenty of time to accumulate achievement points.

It's nothing to spend a thousand achievement points.

But if you choose other directions first, take the direction of prolonging life as the second direction.

The problem is, one or two years is not enough to accumulate 5,000 achievement points.

Moreover, spending 5,000 achievement points at once will affect other technological developments.

This time, Mu Yang felt the preciousness of achievement points even more.

Open the reading system, biomedical column, select item 7, cell engineering - prolong life direction.

Choosing this one didn't impart knowledge to him, it just opened the door for him to cheat.

After confirming, Mu Yang's achievement points suddenly decreased by 1000 points.

Mu Yang found that some functions of the subject skills such as cell fusion, cell bioreactor, chromosome transfer, organelle transplantation, gene transfer, cell and tissue culture, and cell morphology were opened.

It is not all cell subjects that are open, but subjects related to longevity are open, and they can be learned through experience.

Open the Achievement Points shop and search for life-enhancing techniques on the regular and special shelves.

All of a sudden, dozens of technologies were searched out.

"A Life-prolonging Technology for Improving Stem Cells"

"Cell Division and Longevity Technology"

"Prolonging Life and Prolonging Life Prescription Medicine"

...

Mu Yang spent two hours, just roughly reading the introductions of these dozens of technologies. Some technologies cannot be achieved with the technical level and conditions of the earth, and the prescription plants required by some technologies are not available on the earth.

From the perspective of achievable technologies, the number of years of life extension ranges from 10 to 30 years. Most of the technologies cannot be improved at one time. For example, the medicine for improving stem cells is based on the principle of increasing the lifespan of stem cells. One injection can increase the lifespan by 5 years. , up to 3 injections can prolong life by 15 years, and more than 3 injections will fail.

Why did it fail?

From the analysis of the introduction, it mainly exceeds the limit of the endurance of stem cells.

So, is it possible to perform combined superposition to increase lifespan?

In theory, as long as they are not of the same type, lifespans can be superimposed.

For example, if you take a medicine for improving stem cells, and then take a medicine for the number of stem cell divisions, it can add up to life span. As for how much it can be stacked, you will only know after trying it.

But if it is all about increasing the lifespan of stem cells, it may fail, or it may superimpose a part.

Through this, even if one technology can only prolong life by 10 to 30 years, it is possible to prolong life by more than 100 years through the superposition of multiple technologies.

Moreover, this is still a limitation of the level 7 reading system. If it is upgraded to level 8, there may be technologies to extend life longer.

Life extension here does not mean invincibility.

Mortally wounded, the same will die.

Irregular life, less exercise, unbalanced diet, and intemperance in certain aspects of life will also shorten lifespan. If you use life-enhancing medicines, the effect may be discounted.

The above life-extending technologies can indeed improve the vitality of the human body. For example, after supplementing the stem cells into the body, it can promote the face, restore the skin, blood vessels and bones of the whole body, restore joints, and menopausal symptoms.

In addition, diabetes, periodontal disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, and brain damage are also expected to improve.

Of course, some diseases that have nothing to do with stem cells cannot be eliminated.

After figuring out the introduction of these dozens of technologies, Mu Yang chose a life extension technology that was relatively easy for him to achieve, "A Telomerase Extension Technology", which required 200 achievement points.

[Required subjects: Cell Morphology LV7, Chromosome Improvement Technology LV7, Bioelectrochemistry LV6...]

Purchasing this technology also requires multiple subject skills, as many as 20 subjects, and multiple LV7 skills.

Now Mu Yang has not learned biomedical technology.

Now that it is opened, you can start learning.

It took a lot of experience to turn the subject green, and then show that it can be purchased.

OK to buy.

After more than ten minutes, Mu Yang was attracted by this technology and had some understanding of telomeres and telomerase.

【Telomere is a special structure at the end of linear chromosomes. In normal human cells, it can gradually shorten with cell division.

In new cells, every time the cell divides, the telomeres at the top of the chromosomes are shortened, and when the telomeres can no longer be shortened, the cells cannot continue to divide. At this point the cell has reached the commonly believed limit of 100 divisions and begins to die.

A telomerase that can maintain the length of telomeres has been discovered and its strange role in the human body has been revealed...]

In addition to this knowledge, there is also a lot of knowledge about related cells.

The final result of "A Telomerase Extension Technology" is medicine, which improves the cells in the human body through injection of medicine.

Theoretically, each injection of the potion can prolong life by 5 years, and it can be administered after a period of time after it takes effect, but a maximum of 4 injections, too many injections are ineffective, and may cause some bad symptoms.

In other words, if you don't know the situation and steal Mu Yang's medicine injection, if you don't do it well, you will lose your life instead.

But no matter what, it can prolong life and improve human vitality.

"This technology is also awesome. It seems that at present, I can only study it by myself and use it secretly by my family."

"Even if it is made public, others need to exchange things for it, which is definitely not something ordinary people can afford."

No one can be calm, the more powerful people are, the more they value their lifespan.

It is impossible for Mu Yang's technology to be concealed all the time. When his family's life expectancy exceeds 120 years old, the outside world will definitely have doubts.

But his family's life expectancy is over 140+, so there must be speculations, thinking that the Xinghai Group has developed a life-extending medicine.

However, at this time, it means that one dose needs tens of millions of yuan, and it needs hundreds of millions of yuan to maintain it a year, and it will not cause riots.

But when the life expectancy exceeds 160+, the whole world wants to know the prescription of Xinghai Group.

However, at this time, if Mu Yang's grandparents reach 160, there will still be a hundred years from now.

In a hundred years, the Xinghai Group may already be a transcendent entity on Earth.

Or, Mu Yang's family doesn't live on Earth anymore.

Maybe at that time, ordinary people can also realize interstellar travel, and Mu Yang will also expose part of life extension.

Mu Yang named the drug in "A Telomerase Extension Technology" "Life No. 1".

Life One is not available to everyone.

【Recommended age: 25+】

[Contraindications for use: Humans aged 12 and under are prohibited from using it]

Xinghai Group has a total of 108 floors, and the 104th to 108th floors are temporarily vacant. Mu Yang plans to use the 105th floor of Xinghai Building as his Life No. 1 research laboratory.

In order to study this medicine, it is necessary to purchase related instruments for research, such as a fluorescence microscope...

At the same time, when a certain time comes, Mu Yang will also disclose Life No. 1 to some personnel, and exchange Life No. 1 for resources.

Therefore, he needs a pharmaceutical company or research institute as a cover, and it is also convenient to purchase the equipment and raw materials he needs for research.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang called Yang Nian and asked the investment company to help him acquire a company.

Yang Nian has been working in Hong Kong City for a long time, and Xinghai Bank also has an office there.

Now, she and her family have also moved to Hong Kong City, and she only returns to City H to report to him every month.

After Mu Yang called Yang Nian, he directly ordered: "Mr. Yang, help me buy a biomedical research institute or company in the field of longevity. It only needs to be around 100 million in size, and the company's framework and personnel can use the original ones."

"Okay, boss."

When Yang Nian received a call from Mu Yang, she would not ask her boss what she would do to acquire such a company, the boss would naturally explain to her if she wanted to.

"Boss, do you need to move to the headquarters base after the acquisition?"

"No need. After the company is acquired, I will inject capital every year to maintain the operation. If there are results, you and your family members will also benefit."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Xinghai Investment Company has invested in many companies, many of which are directly controlled. If Mu Yang doesn't read the list, he really doesn't know which companies he has invested in.

Suddenly, it reminded him of a joke about Ge Mou. He was old and forgot which companies he owned.

In the evening, he and Yang Nian stood in Xinghai Building, pointed to the brightly lit City H and asked, "Mr. Yang, which companies do we have shares in?"

Yang Nian said: "Boss, as far as your eyes can see, the office buildings, shopping malls, this area, and that area are all yours!"

"There are so many, when did we control so many companies?"

Yang Nian picked up the phone: "The boss said, we have companies in which we have shares, so turn off all the lights."

In an instant, the lights in the whole city were turned off, including the street lights, leaving only the H City ZF and the driving cars with lights on.

In fact, when the smart city is completed and put into operation, Xinghai Group is the controlling shareholder, and the shopping malls and office buildings in the entire smart city are owned by Xinghai Group.

Mu Yang abandons his fantasy and returns to reality.

To develop Life No. 1, he needs to do a lot of work. Equipment, instruments and raw materials need to be purchased through the biomedical company that is about to be acquired.

However, he is in no hurry.

As long as it is developed within two or three years, there is still time for grandparents, but it cannot be delayed too long. The sooner it is used, the better. He is afraid that the effect will not be so good.

From now on, he is also a biomedical expert.

A few days later,

On the morning of November 20,

Ye Fan came to the chairman's office and reported a happy event to him.

Xinghuo-1 engine ignited successfully!

At full thrust, the thrust can reach a terrifying 950 tons, which is somewhat different from the theoretical maximum of 1,000 tons.

The maximum pressure of the combustion chamber is close to 90% of the design maximum pressure, which is still within the tolerance range, and there are no abnormalities such as overburning and explosion of the combustion chamber.

Of course, this design safety factor is 1.5 times the design, that is to say, the actual pressure reaches 150% of the design pressure before the theoretical burst.

The situation that made everyone most worried did not happen, which shows that the use of liquid hydrogen in the full cycle combustion technology is feasible.

After reading the test data, Mu Yang withdrew his eyes, looked at Ye Fan, and solemnly ordered: "Finally, the first step has been completed. Next, you still have a lot of tests to do. Whether the thrust can be fine-tuned is very important. If you do If not, our rocket cannot be recovered normally.

It must be steady, not too hasty, and must be implemented in accordance with the test outline. "

"Understood, I will strictly enforce it."

"Alright, get on with your work."

After Ye Fan finished his report, he exited the chairman's office.

He also knew that Xinghuo No. 1 was only an initial success, but it had already made them very excited.

The thrust can reach 950 tons, which shocked them too.

If the performance of this engine is made public, it will shock the peers.

Laypeople don't quite know what this means, but they do.

If the rocket is recyclable, the company will soon build a private space station in space, and it is very easy to build a space station with tens of thousands of tons. The space for activities is very large, and hundreds of astronauts can reside for a long time.

At the time of the second engine test, the chairman was not on site.

When the ignition test was successful, they cheered and celebrated wildly, and many people were moved to tears.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, if the ignition test is successful, you can continue to try other tests.

After there is no problem with the test, the engine will be assembled with the main body of the rocket for an overall test.

Seeing Ye Fan leave, Mu Yang sorted out the information on Life No. 1 that he had compiled in the past few days.

He found that there were too many things to prepare, but this project can only be done by himself as a novice. In order to keep it confidential, it is not appropriate to ask employees to assist.

Moreover, in biomedical experiments, you really can't rely too much on others, but mainly on yourself.

He thought for a while, and asked several employees of the automation laboratory to help him install cameras and other monitoring equipment on the 105th floor, mainly to monitor the life changes of the experimental mice 24 hours a day.

Above the 99th floor, other people can't go up without Mu Yang's authorization, and the authority of each floor is different, even family members can't go up to the 103rd floor and above.

that night,

Mu Yang returned home.

When preparing to rest, Song Xuelu said in a little surprise:

"Wow, husband, did you know that the second Tai is actually open!"

At this time, Mu Yang was leaning on the bedside to read the information, and said disapprovingly: "My wife, it's not surprising, I don't want to have children now, maybe in a few years, I would suggest having three Tai."

"Why don't you want to have a baby? Is it just a matter of money to raise a child?"

Mu Yang slowly said to her like a person who has been here: "Money must be the biggest reason. For ordinary families, the wife has to ask for leave when she is pregnant, and the husband also needs to take a few days off to accompany the delivery. They all have to deduct money. Sometimes the company does not pay for it." Understand, do not allow employees to ask for leave;

Having a child and being hospitalized is a huge expense, and ordinary people lose one or two wages.

Women need time and money for confinement, and men have no time to take care of them. If the parents are not around, or hire a confinement wife, please pay a total of 10,000 to 20,000 for a month or two. If you don’t go to a confinement center, the cost will be even higher.

If the parents want to come over, they have to pay for the round trip, and they need money for food and drink.

After the child is born, I can earn one or two thousand a month, and going to school is even more troublesome.

At that time, our parents didn’t have anything. Do you think it’s women who are hypocritical, or the times have changed? The miscellaneous expenses require money and time, and most people can’t bear it. "

Listening to his nagging, Song Xuelu had to admit: "Hey, hubby, that's exactly what you said."

Mu Yang said in a joking tone: "I saw a picture on the Internet, saying that a village had put up a ridiculous slogan: It is the unshirkable responsibility of the village head to make every woman in the village pregnant with the second Tai. When I read the slogan, I burst out laughing."

"...Uh, hehe, this village chief is really amazing." Song Xuelu was stunned for a while before she understood, and she also laughed heartily.

Mu Yang smiled, times have changed, so of course Z strategy has to change accordingly, of course there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that when implementing it, you need to pay attention to some methods.

However, everything is better now than before.
