Chapter 1152 Night and Day (4K)
Cough, cough, cough.
Amid the rapid coughing, Gu Qing's sensitive hearing heard the sound of a medicine bottle being opened and something being swallowed on the other end of the call.
After Zhuang Youwei took the quick-acting heart-saving pill, he soothed his heart with his right hand while taking a deep breath.
The watch on his wrist was already flashing a red light to warn.
[Your heartbeat is accelerating. Do you feel panic, heartburn, fatigue, or chest tightness?
If you do not cancel the operation within three seconds, you will be contacted with an emergency contact and the nearest medical rescue center.]
Hearing this alarm, Professor Zhuang quickly pressed the power button on the watch with his left hand to cancel the emergency communication.
When he was nervous, he remembered some news he had come across some time ago. Some personnel from Xia Ke Institute and Jiuzhou Technology moved, and some Harbin Institute of Technology participated, but Jiuzhou Technology and the official projects had stagnant research and development and personnel division.
Then there was the United States, which had been calling for the return of manufacturing, Wall Street finance was already fighting internally, and the prices of some raw materials in the international market had skyrocketed.
When Zhuang Youwei recovered, he said in a low voice: "So the special movement of your company during this period is due to this reason?
I have learned about Professor Rosen. His academic level is very solid, but his knowledge is limited.
Although we have always had a close relationship, I can also tell you the bottom line. We have more than one professor in Harbin Institute of Technology exploring your technology. There are similar team projects in major universities across the country, but they have not succeeded yet. Professor Rosen broke through your technology protection system. Referring to the recent international situation and the flow of cutting-edge personnel and material increases in certain industries, I personally think there is an 80% possibility. It is the result of the joint efforts of the Western scientific community.
The explosion in the Google Robotics Laboratory is a very obvious evidence. The products that disappeared in Boston should have been placed in an experimental base that can isolate signals, and they are likely to be disassembled. "
"You should know that the R&D team members of our Jiuzhou Technology are currently either working in the company or in prison. The core members have been living and working in the park, and all interactive signals from the outside world are systematically reviewed by a dedicated person.
So you can understand my anxiety during this period, right?"
"Yes."
There is always a loophole in a hundred precautions. Zhuang Youwei remembered many stories at this moment.
It was originally just a simple phone call, which almost gave the old man a heart attack. Considering the other party's health, Gu Qing did not release any other information later.
After the call, Mr. Gu of Jiuzhou Technology continued to sleep. Professor Zhuang, a senior executive of Harbin Institute of Technology, could no longer close his eyes.
"Your body is getting stronger with age, but you also need to consider the tolerance of your organs. Night is the time for your internal organs to rest. Please do not work all night long. This will not be good for your health.
Strong tea, coffee and other refreshing things are actually overdrawing your body.
If you really need to work late at night, our team still recommends that you take health products including Taoyao, and you must get enough sleep during the day."
Zhuang Youwei glanced at the medical professor and did not refute his opinion, but he did not intend to follow the doctor's advice.
Having spent most of his life in the business world, he has a high degree of alertness.
Taoyao is good, but it performs too well, which makes him a little alert. How can there be such a magic medicine in the world that has all benefits and no harm?
Even if the rabbits and mice in the Harbin Institute of Technology laboratory performed very well, Zhuang Youwei drank it a few times and felt that he was addicted to the youth state brought by Taoyao. He subconsciously began to gradually control and even resisted drinking Taoyao.
On the morning of July 8, the Xinke District of Rongcheng was crowded.
In just one day, the sales of plane tickets and train tickets at several airports and train stations in Chengdu were as high as the Spring Festival travel rush.
The companies participating in the tasting meeting saw the "big frame" technology brought out by Jiuzhou Technology. When the tasting meeting was held, they contacted the company's relevant engineers and research teams to rush to Chengdu, preparing to evaluate the technology the next day and strive to get their own company.
Even if they were not interested in certain technologies, they became interested after seeing those technical demonstrations, product parameters and various big cakes.
o Some companies even set up project teams overnight, recruited university professors with high salaries based on their connections, and then gave these "temporary workers" high subsidies, so that these senior talents rushed to the new science district of Chengdu to participate in the technical cooperation bidding.
Any company that wants to grow bigger and stronger knows how to give up. Shares, as long as the temptation is big enough, what can it do if it is changed?
There are even some foreign companies that really believed Gu Qing's so-called "welcome" and booked cross-border air tickets overnight and flew to Chengdu.
A city, because of a company's technology tasting, has a tourist "peak season" for no reason.
This is the good radiation of influence and strength to the surrounding areas when it reaches a certain level.
"I have arrived in Chengdu, but how can I get to Xinke District? I use the bad map navigation, and the software keeps popping up a window asking me to fill out an application. My students and I have already filled it out and it is being reviewed.
How should I know? This is called online car-hailing, and online car-hailing cars don't take that destination. Only public transportation and taxis can get there?
Will it be reimbursed?
OK, OK, I'll be there soon." America.
"Boss, we are here, no problem, transfer and flight direct, but I heard that entering the new science area requires many security checks. We brought some professional equipment, so the security check may be a bit troublesome. I will report it first. Um, I will contact Secretary Zhang in real time."
"Hey, hey, hey, old classmate, you can't cheat me this time. You cheated me of a project in Paris last time. If you cheat again this time, I will complain to the teacher!"
"Well, I am going through security check. I haven't received the pass yet. According to the sign, there seem to be three more checkpoints. You even need to wash your shoes clean here. You are not allowed to bring dirt in. It's too strict. Um, let's talk in the meeting group."
"Teacher, wake up, we are here! Mr. Wang is waiting for us at the hotel. We will be picked up by a special car to take us to Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park later."
"Oh my god, we finally arrived. We flew here from where we are. It took a long time to fly here. My waist is broken."
People with various accents talked and laughed with friends, colleagues, and superiors from all over the country on the streets of Chengdu, and reported.
Although the bosses were in a hurry, the look on their faces was not anxious, but the kind of excitement that was eager to harvest the crops.
Of course, there were also many corporate executives who were raising funds and calculating the initial investment and future benefits of business projects. Researchers and corporate executives were more closely connected because of these important things.
And at this moment in America.
The stock price plummeted, but fortunately it was already night, and the crocodiles could rest for a while.
In a certain conference room, senior executives gathered.
The big guys in suits and leather shoes, although they were all worth a lot of money and had terrible connections, were sitting on the desks in the conference room at this time, but they did not have any arrogant expressions.
At this time, several professors in white coats were giving speeches on the podium.
"Figure A is the verification of CD38 knockout by flow cytometry.
Figure B is the detection of changes in NAD+ levels in the skin, lungs and liver in CD38 knockout mice.
Given the "linked" relationship between CD38 and NAD+, we used NAD+ precursors (nicotinamide riboside) and CD38 inhibitors to observe their effects on bleomycin-induced fibrosis.
The results showed that in bleomycin-induced aged mice, increasing NAD+ significantly improved skin and lung fibrosis, including reducing dermal thickness, skin collagen content and fibrosis scores.
This shows that both CD38 inhibitors and NAD+ precursors are one of the ways to effectively reduce organ fibrosis.
Use Using precise genetic medicine to directly block the increase of CD38, or using some NAD+ precursors, such as β-nicotinamide mononucleotide, NMN to directly increase the level of NAD+ can significantly treat the disease. In reverse from the direction of treating the disease, we can also treat diseases such as organ aging through targeted treatment.
In the laboratory environment, we can already increase the life span of mice by 20% to 31.5%. Although there is no improvement in physical fitness, this program is less destructive to the body and safer. "
After the speech, these professors were not as confident as they were in the classroom and laboratory. Instead, they were like elementary school students waiting for their teachers to correct their homework, looking forward to it.
Waiting for these bigwigs who rarely appear in the media to nod and spend more money and resources.
However, the speech of this team was quickly passed by these real elites who "focus on longevity and enjoyment".
"If I remember correctly, there is an article in the sub-journal of Cell that roughly means: Inhibiting CD38 protein activity or supplementing NAD+ precursors can effectively reduce multi-organ fibrosis.
And your research is obviously a project to overcome scleroderma. Studies have shown that a longevity protein regulated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is abnormal in this type of patients.
And your treatment plan, in my personal opinion, is relatively novel, but it cannot be successfully applied to humans in the short term, right?
There are too few experimental species."
Although it was passed, the medical professors on the podium were not depressed. Instead, some of them nodded excitedly as if they had an occupational disease.
This person's attitude is not bad, and there is no real denial of his project between the lines, which means that he can continue to get investment in the future.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed four years ago that longevity drugs that can save humans from various diseases caused by aging will mature within five years. Subsequently, it led to the rise of many pharmaceutical stocks.
And now, none of the so-called mature drugs have appeared, which means that the journal published by MIT was deliberately made by someone.
After this research team left, the atmosphere in the conference room was still not relaxed.
Research representatives from Rutgers Medical School in New Jersey took to the stage.
They have achieved a result in recent years, that is, in laboratory conditions, gene therapy through injection or intranasal administration can extend the lifespan of experimental animals by up to 41.4%, thus opening up a new path to inhibit aging.
After the opening remarks and a brief introduction to the experiment, the research representative said: "The mice undergoing the experiment received gene therapy once a month for six months from the age of 18 months. The genes injected included the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene that extends DNA telomeres and the follistatin gene that mainly strengthens muscles.
The results showed that these two methods extended the average lifespan of mice by 41.4% and 32.5% respectively.
Various data show that the treated mice not only have an extended average lifespan, but also have a greatly improved health status, which can even be said to be evolution.
For example, the muscle-strengthening FST gene therapy can make the experimental mice have stronger muscle groups than ordinary mice in other groups, and can also prolong their growth process, which is equivalent to extending their youthful period by a quarter and improving their overall physical fitness by a quarter to a fifth.
In TERT gene therapy, we have been able to extend the telomeres of two-year-old mice six times within six months, and during this period, the internal organs of the old mice have obvious expressions of rejuvenation. "
After hearing this series of reports and carefully reviewing these seemingly exaggerated data, the head of the Harvard University Center for Aging Research said with emotion: "This is God's miracle. Genes are the chains given to us by the Creator. As long as we open them one by one, we will eventually become immortal gods.
And now it seems that the result of extending life by 40%, coupled with the strengthening of the body, is likely to be the technology used by Daxia Jiuzhou Technology.
Since they dare to use their own talented personnel to conduct genetic experiments, it proves that this project should be safe. At least in the short term, Gu Qing, the founder of Jiuzhou Technology, has not developed any special symptoms. "
The tone of admiration in the sighing shows that this professional field expert has a very positive affirmation of this new gene therapy.
According to the process of medical research and development, after this gene therapy has achieved results in the laboratory stage, it will take five to ten years for approval and step-by-step process inspection to enter clinical application.
And even if this technology is successfully implemented, it is destined to become a special service for the upper class because of its special and strict degree.
But so what?
Is there anyone in the conference room who is not from the upper class?
No.
And the research representative of this experimental team also got the answer he wanted to get on this trip-the relevant arrangements for the human TI experiment It will be carried out within half a month.
Senior workers in Wall Street financial companies are still anxiously thinking about how to operate the stock market tomorrow and how to deal with the bond market.
Can the new outlet, AI intelligence, and the previous outlet metaverse be better than Jiuzhou Technology?
The senior executives of the military-industrial complex are thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
And their bosses, the bosses' bosses, are discussing how to "live forever" in the conference room at this time.
PS: This is an imaginary world, everything is made up. Please don't take it seriously.
