Chapter 1085: Died Young? (On the Last Day of This Month, I’m Asking for Double the Monthly Votes!! Please Subscribe!)

In the holy city, a place full of modern technology.

It is filled with the most advanced technological equipment from all over the world, and in the middle, Jane Foster is placed in a life-support device filled with blue liquid. Those blue liquids are dragon bone extract!

Merlin, the head of Kingsman's science and technology department and the chief scientist of Kingsman. After Kai brought Jane back, he immediately sent her to the Ministry of Science and Technology, asking them to try their best to make up for Jane's lost vitality.

Although Kai didn't like Jane, he wasn't stingy enough to watch her burp. What's more, fundamentally, the reason why she overused the ether particles was also the reason why Kai couldn't do anything. It is reasonable to cure her.

Sif and Frigga also came to the life-sustaining warehouse to check on Jane's status.

Asgard's technological level is very high, at least much higher than that of Earth. Although they are still a mainly magical civilization, it does not mean that they are unfamiliar with technology. For example, they are familiar with the data of the life-sustaining warehouse. After that, you can understand it.

"It's very bad." Merlin was a little surprised when he saw Sif and Frigga, but he didn't ask any more questions. "When she was just delivered, we found that the cells in her body had begun to decline... Her body tissues are now severely aged. It can even be said that she has a thirty-year-old face but an eighty-year-old body."

People have been aging since birth, but aging can be controlled. The key to controlling aging lies in a special structure inside cells - telomeres. In order to stay healthy, the cells in our body need to be constantly replaced. In this process, some senescent cells will be eliminated by themselves, but other senescent cells will accumulate and increase in the body, releasing inflammatory signals to other cells, causing aging of surrounding tissues and damaging body functions. These cells are called by scientists as "senescent cells". Why do cells age? This depends on a special structure in the cell - telomeres. Our genetic information is stored in segments of DNA, known as genes, and genes are located on chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell. At the end of each chromosome, there is a small segment of special DNA-protein complexes that are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the chromosome. These complexes are called telomeres.

But the thing is, every time a cell divides, the telomeres shorten a little, just like the soles of your shoes wear out. When telomeres are shortened to a certain extent or even fall off, cells will stop metabolism and no longer divide to produce new cells. At this time, cells will age and die. Generally speaking, people with shorter telomeres are more likely to get sick and have weaker health.

But what the heck is, Merlin and the others discovered that the telomeres in Jane's body were greatly depleted!

In other words, the number of Jane's cell divisions will be greatly reduced!

What Merlin just said didn't mean that Jane's body was really aging, but that her remaining time was like that of an old person.

"How effective is dragon bone extract?" Kai asked.

Kai didn't know what the mechanism of ether particles was, but one thing was certain that the changes in Jane's body were definitely related to ether particles.

Now it is only hoped that dragon bone extract can restore this condition.

"The effect is very good. But... we noticed that the decline of the dragon bone's power in her body is very abnormal. We need to further verify the specific situation. After all, there are too few experimental samples of dragon bone extract, and we are not sure whether it is different from individual to individual. caused."

There are many dragon bone extracts, but they are limited after all, so this non-renewable substance has been strictly restricted. At present, there are not many people who actually use dragon bone extracts, and the base is not large enough, so it is naturally impossible to conduct thorough research. .

"In addition... we have to consider another possibility." Merlin pushed up his glasses: "That is cancer..."

Cancer is a very special disease. This thing is also related to telomeres. Telomeres respond to aneuploidy by generating stress signals that inhibit the proliferation of aneuploid cells. However, telomerase, which synthesizes telomeres, may slow down the stress induced by telomeres. Stress signals indirectly promote the survival of aneuploid cells, thereby promoting the occurrence of carcinogenesis in the body. Telomeres and telomerase play dual functions in inhibiting and promoting tumorigenesis. When telomerase is missing, telomeres will shorten the lifespan of cells and inhibit the occurrence of tumors. However, cells with shorter telomeres are more likely to lose their cap structure, which will lead to cellular disasters and genetic instability, which can lead to Many types of cancer.

Ordinary cancers can be cured, but the situation in Jane's body is completely different from that of ordinary people. At least according to the current monitoring situation, it is very pessimistic!

Ether particles have completely escaped the detection range of human science today. At least all the current instruments have failed to detect Jane's current state, which is very bad.

Sif and Frigga looked at each other, helpless.

Ether particles are also a mystery to Asgard, and they don't understand many things, let alone solve them.

"It seems that if you want to really save Jane's life, you really have to find a way from the dark elves."

…

Soon, Kai showed up at Stark Tower with Frigga, Sif and Jane.

When they teleported to Stark Tower, Tony was...well, playing sports with Paige.

As a result, a large group of people suddenly appeared, which almost scared Tony out of his mind. Paige was the most direct, screaming and running into the bathroom wrapped in flyers...

"Fuck! You must give me a reason not to kill you today!!! Otherwise..."

"The world is about to be destroyed, and you are still here in broad daylight! You disappoint me so much!!!" Kai complained first. After all, it was a bit unreasonable to suddenly run to Tony's room at this time... But it was also Tony's fault! Who told him to design such a poor precision of the teleporter?

He originally planned to teleport people to the living room.

Tony held a pillow under his crotch and pointed at Kai, unable to speak.

"Okay, put on your clothes quickly. There are two distinguished guests here. Don't scare them with your little thing." Kai waved his hand and walked out with Frigga and Sif.

"Small? ! ! How dare you say I'm small? ! ! Believe it or not, I'll take it out and scare you to death!" Tony jumped and cursed behind him.

Unexpectedly, Sif really turned her head to look over, as if she was really going to confirm the size.

Then Tony immediately became scared.

About five minutes later, Pepper came out with a slightly red face and drinks, helping Tony to greet the guests. As for Tony... he was still angry at this moment.

Although Pepper was a little scared, she was not as shy as the little girl.

"This is Sif, you should know. This is Frigga, yes, the Frigga in Norse mythology, Odin's wife, Thor's mother." Kai introduced Frigga and Sif simply and clearly. Sif had been with the three warriors of Asgard on Earth for a while, and Pepper really knew her. But she had never seen Frigga. Then Kai pointed at Jane who had been unconscious: "You may not know this one, her name is Jane Foster, Thor's girlfriend on Earth."

"I know her." Pepper nodded. She knew that Thor and Jane were in love at the beginning, but she was not familiar with them.

Kai also forgot whether the two of them had met, after all, it was not important at all.

At this time, Tony had also prepared himself mentally and ran out angrily.

Pepper quickly grabbed him.

"Don't be disrespectful, Tony. That's the Queen of Asgard!"

Pepper has a better view of the overall situation than Tony. After all, Frigga's status is extremely noble. If something happens to her, the whole earth will be in trouble.

"Queen? The mother of that idiot Thor?" Tony blurted out.

Then Pepper was embarrassed to see Frigga's face become uglier and uglier.

There is no way. One son is not known whether he is alive or dead, and the other son is called a fool. No mother would have a good face.

Pepper quickly changed the subject: "I remember you disappeared after going to London. Now the White House and SHIELD are in chaos. They are looking for you everywhere. How come you are here?"

Kai didn't react at first when he heard this, but he immediately found something wrong: "Wait...you two bastards! Even the politicians in the White House and the idiots in SHIELD are worried about you, and you two are still interested in having sex in broad daylight?!? Are you still my friends?"

Pepper also felt it was outrageous, and only Tony knew.

This bastard is talking nonsense again!

"Bullshit! We don't believe anything will happen to you! This is trust! Trust! Do you understand! You bastard!"

Tony actually misses the cold Kai in the past. Although he was annoying at that time, he was definitely not as annoying as he is now. Kai always gives people a reliable and cold impression when dealing with outsiders, but only those who know him well know that this guy is actually very stuffy. For example, he has several girlfriends and has an affair with a married woman!

"Okay, okay, don't pay attention to these details. We are in big trouble this time."

Tony still fell for it. Kai once again smoothly changed the topic, and Tony didn't know it yet.

Perhaps, he knows, but he just enjoys this way of conversation.

Willing to be fooled by Kai.

It sounds impossible, but it is actually like this. Tony has always been a lonely guy. He is cursed by knowledge. His superior wisdom makes him look down on mediocre people. His arrogant personality makes him unwilling to wrong himself.

So he has very few friends.

There are only three at present, Happy, Rod and Kai.

Kai told the whole story about the ether particles and the dark elves.

"The situation is what it is now. We have no way to take out the ether particles from Jane. What's worse is that the dark elves will keep chasing the ether particles like wild dogs smelling feces. Once they get them... not only Asgard, but also the earth will instantly become a dead place without life. So we have to fight the dark elves."

"Let the aliens invade the earth again?" Tony said with a headache: "You know, this is not a good idea. If those people know that the dark elves come to the earth for Jane... I really can't imagine what will happen then."

Tony has finally grown up a lot with Kai.

If it were the old Tony, he wouldn't care about this. He would definitely hit his forehead and fight the dark elves.

As for what other people think... he doesn't care!

But now, he at least knows how tricky this matter is.

"What do you mean by this? Protecting Jane is protecting the earth itself! The dark elves will not let the earth go just because the earthlings hand over Jane."

Sif didn't quite understand what Tony meant.

Tony opened his mouth. He was a little embarrassed to explain this matter. After all, it would make the Asgardians think that the earthlings were too selfish.

Although the actual situation was indeed like this.

"The problem is that other people have to believe it." Kai thought there was nothing to be ashamed of. It was human nature. "Earthlings don't know anything about dark elves, let alone ether particles. You can't expect humans to pay a price for something they don't understand at all."

This is also the reason why Kai didn't plan to find the White House or SHIELD.

Because this is just empty talk, who the hell would believe it?

You said to destroy the universe, so destroy the universe?

This is completely beyond the scope of human cognition.

Of course, facing the threat that may happen at any time, abandoning Jane can save the situation, so why not do it.

In fact, Kai also thought so, but the difference is that he thought that if there is really no way to take out the ether particles, Kai would simply chop Jane to death with an axe and release the ether particles. Save suffering.

In short, the ether particles cannot be obtained by the dark elves.

"Maybe I can think of a way." Tony looked at the unconscious Jane, touched his chin, and became interested. Such an interesting thing, he naturally wanted to study it.

Kai was just about to agree, and suddenly there was another change in the sky.

Boom!

A seven-color beam descended.

Thor landed on the platform outside Stark Tower.

Frigga stood up immediately after seeing her son and rushed to Thor.

"How is Loki? My son, how is he?"

Tony frowned instinctively when he heard the name.

"What happened to that bad guy who looks like Ki?"

Kai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up when he heard Tony's description of Loki.

"The specific situation is very troublesome and difficult to explain. It's probably that I had some problems at the time and couldn't fight. I could only run away with people, but I didn't take him with me. Now... I guess... he's dead."

"That's really great... What a pity." Tony's voice was a little louder, Thor and Frigga looked over, and this guy quickly changed his words. "Died young! Wuwuwu ah ah ah hahahahahaha..."

Tony himself is not a person who will take other people's feelings into consideration. He hates Loki... Naturally, he is too lazy to hide it.

Changing his words just now is already the limit.

Thor squeezed his hammer in anger. As expected, he didn't like Tony.

"It would be great if he really died young..." Unexpectedly, Kai said with great regret.

"What?!"

"What?!!"

"Really?!!"
