Chapter 594 The Secret of Eternal Life

Hearing Amber's words, Saleh's eyes suddenly widened.

"Amber, do you mean that they want to use the things in this institute to extend the life of the dying emperor?"

Since spending a lot of time browsing the knowledge of this era, Saleh's way of speaking has become more and more like a human being, rather than a distant pioneer.

Amber: "Apart from this answer, I can't think of any other reason why the emperor's personal guard would appear here."

"But they took away just an experimental product. Not to mention how many experiments have been done on carbon-based organisms, even if they have, how do they know that this research has really succeeded?!"

As a Jeram person, and even more as a think tank deacon, Saleh's attitude towards scientific research is very rigorous.

So for this behavior of ignoring scientific risks, it can be said that it is a small knife pulling the buttocks-opening the eyes.

Amber was not surprised by Saleh's reaction, but patiently replied: "There is an old saying in human beings, called 'when you are sick, you will try any possible method'. When you are desperate, no matter what the possibility is, people will be willing to try it."

"Even so, the so-called research on 'immortality' does not necessarily mean that it can prolong human life."

"So this is what we need to find out next," Amber said, with a meaningful light flashing in her eyes, "see what these imperial people are doing."

After returning to the A. Bawa. Ku asteroid fortress, Amber suspended all other matters, and immediately returned to the comprehensive laboratory built for Saleh with Saleh and the storage module of the Forerunner Research Institute, and also let Lilith in.

Saleh is the only person in Atlas who really knows Lilith's identity, except for the Immortal Legion.

It's not that Amber didn't hide it from her, but not long after the Jeram people used Lilith's computing power to assist in research and development, they discovered that Lilith's true identity was actually a strong artificial intelligence.

In this case, Amber had nothing to hide. Anyway, Saleh was also under the control of the "mental shackles", so there was no need to worry about her being exposed.

Lilith was even happier because there was one less person she needed to "act for".

After all, she had to respond to Saleh's requests almost every day before, and she had a lot of contact with this pioneer, so she had always had to play the role of an ordinary artificial intelligence.

As the storage module of the institute was sent to the workbench in the laboratory, under Saleh's control, a bunch of "forerunner-style" mechanical arms that were customized and assembled by her personally surrounded it, and a bunch of strange instruments were attached to the periphery of the storage module.

"Lilith, it's time to start~"

Saleh was operating in front of the workbench, but because she was about to start cracking a storage module that she was also very interested in, her tone was also a little excited.

"Understood, Ms. Saleh! The idle computing power of the fortress server array has been called! The "special program for decrypting the forerunner facilities" is being activated."

Lilith's tone was also somewhat excited, because for her, all the secrets of the human side, big and small, were basically understood by her, so the mysterious forerunners and the big and small secrets left by this force have also become her new research objects.

Amber, who was sitting on the side, became a bystander instead. As a "war maniac", after entering the field of decryption and research, he really couldn't help the two.

The storage module that was dragged back did not last long under the joint attack of Saleh, the "special attack on the forerunner technology", and Lilith, the "decryption expert".

Amber, who was woken up by the two after a dazed sleep on the sofa, glanced at the time in a daze and found that the two people had completed the decryption in only four hours.

When he rubbed his eyes and walked to the workbench, he saw Saleh holding the armrest of the workbench tightly with both hands, and his body was shaking slightly because of excitement.

After noticing Amber coming over, the pioneer turned his head and stared at him, and slowly said:

"These crazy people, they succeeded."

When this sentence reached his ears, Amber woke up instantly.

"Successful?! Are you saying that this institute has really solved the problem of immortality??"

"To be precise, it has solved the problem of immortality of carbon-based organisms."

Saleh tried to calm down his excitement and continued:

"All the data in the storage module has been unlocked, and Lilith has sorted them out. Take a look, Amber, I have to sit down and relax."

"Go ahead, I'll ask the service robot to bring some drinks and food." Amber nodded, and then focused on the virtual screen of the workbench.

"Master, the data has been sorted out. Please take a look. It took some effort to decipher this time. More than ten sub-ends in the server array have burned. I will go and deal with them first~"

Lilith's virtual image stuck out her tongue in embarrassment in the air. Obviously, she did not expect that this deciphering would be so difficult.

"Burned directly? How much are you guys going too far?"

Amber shook her head, and then said as if she remembered something: "By the way, take this opportunity to try the server made by the R&D center to see how much higher the performance is than other products on the market. If it works, I will let the R&D center pass the inspection and put it into production."

"Understood, Master! I promise to complete the task~"

Lilith saluted playfully, and the virtual image in the air quickly disappeared.

Amber looked back at the screen on the workbench, and then his mouth began to open wider and wider.

He had thought about many ways that the Forerunners had solved the "immortality problem" of carbon-based organisms, but he never thought that these Forerunner researchers would eventually adopt the most "back to basics" method.

For almost all carbon-based organisms, the reasons that limit their lifespan are mainly root causes such as cell division restrictions, free radical damage, changes in gene expression levels, accumulated DNA damage, and stem cell exhaustion.

For these reasons, Amber also saw a passage left by a Forerunner researcher in the cracked data when this large-scale bioengineering project called "Eternity" was launched.

"If we solve these problems, won't that be the end of it?"

You see, the Jeram people are essentially a race full of humor cells

But at the same time, they are also a race that has reached a level that humans cannot imagine in terms of gene editing, homologous recombination, DNA repair enhancement, antioxidant protection, signal transduction optimization, bioreactors and other technologies.

The final result of the "Eternity" project is that these Jeram people have created a perfect artificial cell series called "Eternity Cells" in the laboratory like the Creator.
