Part 30 ?
Chapter 30 Failed to Climb to Immortal
Over the years, the relevant departments and various organizations of Nova have unearthed strange things from the old soil, but the golden bamboo with a diameter of one meter is unprecedented.
It was cut open and made into a small boat, which was probably also a big deal in the pre-Qin period!
The major organizations of Xinxing used to fight for a few golden bamboo slips, but now the living bamboo appeared with a vigorous breath of life.
There are more than a dozen branches on the bamboo boat, all with leaves, and from time to time, a golden rain falls, falling on the body of the female alchemist who is as quiet as sleeping.
A female researcher from Xinxing explained that the bamboo branch brought to the surface just now was a section taken from a small boat.
"You mean, there is still a possibility for her to come back to life?" The man wearing black-rimmed glasses called himself Qian Lei, and carefully and carefully understood the situation.
The people above attach great importance to this place, but anything related to longevity is a big deal, not only the plutocrats of Xinxing care about it, but it is also the same in the old land.
"It's impossible. She has been dead for thousands of years. The self-awareness that is the most essential feature of human beings has long since disappeared, and the bioelectricity in the brain has collapsed."
As one of the project leaders, Zhou Yu knew better than anyone else that the female alchemist had been dead for at least three thousand years. The only puzzling thing was that her physical body was still active.
Later, after tests and tests, they all agreed that it was related to the golden boat and her own supernatural power.
"Let's talk about it specifically." Qian Lei asked for advice. He needs to understand in detail, and Old Earth must participate in the follow-up research work of this underground test site.
Several scientific researchers from Xinxing explained, from the discovery of this underground relic, to the direction of their research in recent years, and the preliminary results obtained so far, etc., and gave a general introduction.
As one of the project leaders, Zhou Yu added that she clearly knew what some people in the old land were most concerned about.
"After testing, her biological age before death was about twenty-five years old."
"So young?" Qian Lei was taken aback. Being in a special department, he knew far more about pre-Qin alchemists than ordinary people. It was unheard of for him to become a top alchemist in his twenties.
"No, to be precise, her twenties are only her age of physical activity. After various methods of detection and analysis, we have scientifically calculated that her actual age when she died was about 230 years old. I have to say that she is very old. It's amazing, from the number of cell divisions to the consumption of telomeres, her indicators are far beyond ordinary people."
This age still maintains a youthful state, which made Qian Lei look extremely serious. He adjusted his glasses frame and asked, "Is the data credible?"
Zhou Yu knows what he or the people behind him are hoping for. From ancient times to the present, the topic of longevity can be said to never fade, and it is the most mysterious.
Many people are searching for it. From the pre-Qin period to the present, the old events of the past have been repeated, and it has truly attracted countless heroes.
It's just that the chaebols of this era are more direct, publicized, invested a lot of resources, and have achieved initial results.
Zhou Yu said: "The cause of her death is unknown, but it was definitely not a natural death. Based on her physical activity, theoretically, she can live to be at least seven hundred years old, and the upper limit is about nine hundred and fifty years old."
Qian Lei was very disturbed. He knew what this meant. Once he reported to the authorities, this underground experimental field would become one of the most important laboratories in the old land from today, and the security would be raised to the highest level.
Several scientific researchers in the old land were looking at some data reports and kept nodding their heads. They were quite excited. This underground experimental site has done many experiments using the blood, bone marrow, and muscle fibers of female alchemists. The data are detailed and the conclusions are credible.
Wang Xuan paid attention to listening and observing. The 230-year-old female alchemist still maintained the physical activity of her twenties. It was really amazing. He knew very well that an alchemist with such great achievements must have been to the inner scene.
"Her telomeres are far longer than ordinary people, which means that the upper limit of her life expectancy has been greatly increased in theory."
Several researchers from the old land were eager to participate in this project immediately.
Zhou Yudao: "We extracted a magical substance from the blood of the female alchemist, which can extend the lifespan of ordinary people to a certain extent."
Hearing this, Qian Lei looked solemn, and said, "Do you have any phased results? I'm asking about clinical trials, etc. Are there any real cases that have extended the lifespan of a normal person?"
"Yes, Xinxing has a very important client of ours and one of our investors. He provided 30% of the funds for this underground experiment site. We will extract it from the blood of the female sorcerer. After more than two years of follow-up and observation, it was found that he, who was already short-lived, can theoretically live for more than fifteen years."
When Zhou Yu said this, several people in Jiutu were extremely surprised.
Even Wang Xuan was secretly amazed that the female alchemist had been dead for more than three thousand years, but there were still some longevity attributes hidden in her body, which was indeed extraordinary, almost like the flesh of a Tang monk.
Qian Lei's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Do you still have such clients? How much of that active substance have you extracted from the female alchemist?"
Zhou Yu replied: "There are still some big customers who are waiting for our samples, but we don't want to waste our money. We have been trying to artificially cultivate the cells of the female alchemist over the years, but the results are not satisfactory. For example, her blood contains supernatural power. Once Leaving the body, its properties are extremely unstable, and there have been many laboratory explosions."
"We have another experiment, we are going to try to upload the thought memory of a volunteer from Xinxing to the brain of the female alchemist, and reactivate the bioelectricity in her brain, to see if we can use her incomparably powerful physical activity to make the Another person is reborn."
"No!" Qian Lei was in a hurry, and directly objected loudly with some gaffes.
Wang Xuan was also in a daze when he heard that, there is such an experiment?
"In Xinxing, this kind of technology has accumulated to a certain extent. In the eyes of our researchers, all human beings are actually no different from robots, but we are more delicate. Human brain thinking activities are just a set of complicated programs. , theoretically it can be replicated.”
Qian Lei said in a deep voice: "The experimental project you mentioned is suspended, this cannot be done."
Then he asked again: "Who is that volunteer?" He felt that ordinary people would never get this opportunity. He wanted to use the body of the female alchemist to revive and live for hundreds of years without dying.
"It's the founder of our Institute of Origin of Life—Ms. Zheng." Zhou Yu told me calmly that 60% of the funds for the construction of this underground experimental site came from Ms. Zheng.
Qian Lei said: "Since we want to cooperate, we need to discuss the most secure plan. Your experiment is too risky, and it is not suitable to proceed at this stage."
"Actually, I personally don't agree with resurrecting another person's thinking and memory on her body. I am more inclined to the latter plan, which is to fully dissect the female alchemist, and use the most advanced life instruments on Xinxing to record and decipher her. The genetic information of the body, in essence, comprehensively analyzes and compiles the microstructure of this kind of person that breaks the ceiling of human life..."
Wang Xuan was quite speechless after hearing this, and mourned silently for the female alchemist, who had been dead for thousands of years and could not live in peace. She was often drawn for blood, and now she was going to be dissected.
Qian Lei was taken aback, this very quiet woman was actually so crazy, he quickly said, "Don't act rashly, some experiments must be shelved first, and we will discuss after our plan comes out, since we want to cooperate, we naturally need a win-win situation. "
...
"This kind of bamboo contains supernatural power and has very strong activity. After we refined it, we found that it contains no less life factors than the body of a female alchemist."
When mentioning the thick bamboo that was made into boats, the female researcher Zhou Yu regained her spirits.
When Wang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help asking a scientific researcher next to him, and said, "Are there any other discoveries such as bamboo slips in this underground cave? It's impossible that such a powerful female alchemist didn't leave other things behind?"
The scientific researcher shook his head and said: "No, when we came in, this underground cave seemed to have experienced a big explosion. Many places were charred black, and even the bamboo slips were turned into ashes."
After the scene he described, whether it was Aoki, or the two masters of the old army, or Qian Lei, who was very strong in his own right, all looked extremely serious.
Qingmu said in a deep voice: "From what you said, this is very similar to what was recorded in the bamboo slips left by other alchemists in the pre-Qin period."
"That's right." The old military master nodded and said, "This is very similar to the description of a big explosion after the failure of eclosion."
There have been debates in later generations about feathering. Some people think that taking that road means knowing that you are going to die and using supernatural power to burn yourself.
Some people also believe that becoming a fairy is the embodiment of being about to become a fairy, pushing the level of life to the extreme, and from then on you can truly live forever.
It's a pity that for a long time, there has been no one who has successfully demonstrated it. When all people related to eclosion were discovered, they were definitely dead.
Even, the "archaeological team" sent by Xinxing's chaebol once dug up the ashes of that kind of person in the old soil, and the death was not very decent.
The woman in front of me was mentioned in other pre-Qin Bamboo Slips. She was considered to be the top alchemist among the alchemists, and she aspired to be a fairy.
It's a pity, now it seems that she also failed, so it makes sense why she died when her body was still alive.
Intervening from the perspective of scientific testing, no injuries were found, and the cause of death was unknown.
However, from the perspective of the old technique, it is proved that her spiritual will was broken and completely wiped out at that time, and it is impossible for this kind of person to come back to life.
Wang Xuan was fascinated by listening, another case of failure in ascending to immortality!
