Let you make props, what the hell is this space elevator? - Chapter 580
c580 Decrypt! Human hibernation!
The matter of Martian bacteria has caused many people to panic.
“Bacteria must be kept well! Otherwise we will suffer if it is leaked!”
“Why did you bring the bacteria from Mars back? Do you think we live too long?”
“If you don’t understand, just ask, is Academician Jiang going to study something again?”
“What can Martian bacteria do? It sounds scary!”
“Our ecosystem is already fragile! Why bring this threat to us!”
Many people think that bacteria must be bad, so when they see bacteria from Mars, they will have a bad association.
But in fact, some bacteria can be used in bioengineering and industrial production. They can produce enzymes, drugs, chemicals, fuels, etc., and can provide assistance to human technology and industrial development.
But the public is always blind. Jiang Chen saw the comments on the Internet and felt that his technology for popularizing science still had a long way to go.
Jiang Chen and Professor Matvey first studied Martian bacteria, and soon after, they discovered a strange enzyme.
“Oh my god, Academician Jiang, this enzyme seems to be a derivative of histidine decarboxylase.”
Jiang Chen nodded and confirmed Professor Matvey’s statement: “Normal histidine decarboxylase is an enzyme that can catalyze the decarboxylation reaction in histidine molecules to generate histamine.”
“In the brain, histamine is produced primarily by a specific population of neurons located in the somnolence nucleus of the thalamus. These neurons are important for maintaining a state of wakefulness. When these neurons are active, they release histamine, prompting The brain remains awake and alert.”
“However, it is clear that the derivative of histidine decarboxylase that we discovered has the effect of blocking histamine production.”
“With less histamine, you can’t wake up the brain.”
“This may explain why people on Mars have been unable to wake up.”
“Professor Matvey, how are the physical conditions of the people on Mars?”
“There are no physical problems. Apart from drowsiness, nothing seems to be affected.”
Jiang Chen frowned when he heard this and said, “This kind of bacteria invades the host’s body, and the host develops an immune response, thus producing special histamine. As a result, the host is affected and becomes drowsy?”
Why does this thing feel so familiar?
Jiang Chen realized in a flash that this was one of the contents packaged for him by the system.
To complete hibernation, a key liquid must be injected, and these liquids are exactly this histidine decarboxylase derivative.
It seems that the so-called hibernation technique utilizes this histamine’s ability to influence the brain, allowing humans to enter a hibernating state after injecting that liquid.
wrong.
In addition to histidine decarboxylase derivatives, there is another thing.
70% of the human body is water, and low temperatures can easily cause water to freeze and increase in volume, causing cell rupture.
To allow the human body to lie flat at low temperatures for a long time without damaging the cells, liquid containing special antifreeze substances can only be injected into the human body to prevent the water in the cells from freezing at low temperatures and causing cell rupture.
These antifreeze substances convert the intracellular solution into a glass-like state, thereby protecting cell structure and function.
In low temperatures, the human body gradually enters a state of dormancy, and new antifreeze substances ensure that cells remain stable throughout the process. When the hibernating human body needs to be awakened, these fluids can be removed through special procedures so that the cells can reactivate.
This is the technology provided by the system, and this key new antifreeze substance is 16S rRNA carrying important information extracts.
Now that we have figured out how to make frozen humans sleep, we can focus on extracting the substances on 16S rRNA.
Jiang Chen reflected on himself and realized that the fundamental reason why he had not mentioned the substance on 16S rRNA before was because he had made a mistake.
Now that he has found histidine decarboxylase derivatives, it will be easier to deal with. He can focus on the 16S rRNA of the nematodes.
While he was doing the experiment, Guo Fan called Jiang Chen and asked him if he was short.
Jiang Chen thought that Guo Fan must have something urgent, so he asked Guo Fan to go find him directly in the warehouse.
After Guo Fan went there, he found Jiang Chen looking at biological information, so he curiously asked him how much he knew about biomedicine.
“Not much, but I’ve been making up some extra classes recently because of the human hibernation book.”
Guo Fan seemed a little energetic. After Jiang Chen asked, Guo Fan said: “Academician Jiang, do you remember Sister Tao whom you met when you were filming ball lightning? She is the one whose son is seriously ill.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
“Sister Tao’s son’s condition has declined rapidly recently, and the hospital has issued a critical illness notice.”
“Sister Tao couldn’t bear the blow. She wanted to carry her son away the night before, but she was saved by people from the hospital.”
Jiang Chen heard Guo Fan’s thoughts when he heard this.
“Director Guo, do you want to save Sister Tao’s son?”
“Yes, what I think is that now that we have digital life technology, we can keep Sister Tao’s son with Sister Tao.”
“Director Guo’s idea is good, but instead of letting Sister Tao face her grown-up son in the virtual world, it is better to use human hibernation technology to find a hope.”
Guo Fan looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief: “Academician Jiang means that human hibernation technology has been completed?”
“It’s coming soon, but we will have to conduct human experiments later. We will only look for those who are dying.”
“So, Sister Tao’s son can choose this.”
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Guo Fan’s statement about not having a heartbeat was definitely false. However, human hibernation technology is a Trisolaris technology. Can Academician Jiang, an expert in a non-biomedical field, really do it well?
It’s a little hard to believe.
Jiang Chen quickly noticed Guo Fan’s hesitation.
“If you are worried, we can provide another solution. First, use the brain-computer interface to preserve the consciousness of Sister Tao’s son, while the body enters hibernation.”
“In this way, we can ensure that Sister Tao will always have her son by her side.”
“After the body enters hibernation, it can wait for the outbreak of medical technology in the future, and then wake up and treat it at that time. In this way, Sister Tao’s son can also come back to life.”
“Academician Jiang’s idea is good. Let Sister Tao have the awareness of her son to accompany her, and she can meet her son again in a few years.”
“Whenever it’s convenient for you, I’ll ask Sister Tao to come and talk to you.”
“In a week, I will seize the time to conduct experiments with Professor Matvey this week.”
After Guo Fan determined the time, he left quickly.
Human hibernation technology?
Did Academician Jiang really develop it?
Wu Gan saw Guo Fan’s listless look on the set and asked him: “Are you worried about Sister Tao? Have you asked Academician Guo Jiang?”
“I asked, and Academician Jiang said that there are two options. One is to upload the consciousness of Sister Tao’s son through digital life, and the other is to preserve her son’s body through human hibernation until medical technology develops to the point where it can treat him. When she is sick, wake her son up.”
“How long do we have to wait?” Wu Gan was speechless.
“I don’t know. It could be a few years, or it could be decades, or hundreds of years. These are all possibilities. After all, we don’t know what the future will look like.”
“Is it that you don’t know what it will look like after you wake up?” Wu Dan thought of a key point.
Having been in hibernation for hundreds of years, who knows if the internal organs of hibernating people are damaged?
“This… we have thought of it, and Academician Jiang should be able to think of it too.”
“As a new technology, there are bound to be risks. If there are no risks, it would not be called a new technology, but a mature technology.”
“It doesn’t matter if Academician Jiang can’t develop human hibernation technology. I think this technology is actually to give living people a thought and tell those who are still alive that there is hope.”
Wu Dan was told to be silent by Guo Fan.
“Then let’s not urge Academician Jiang. Anyway, we also know how human hibernation works.”
After Guo Fan and Wu Gan reached a consensus, they went to Capital Hospital and found Sister Tao to explain the situation.
“You guys said Academician Jiang has a way to save my son?” Sister Tao’s eyes, which were cloudy from crying, suddenly lighted up.
“Yes, but this is not treatment in the traditional sense. You need to be mentally prepared.”
As if she was afraid that Guo Fan would run away, Sister Tao held Guo Fan’s hand tightly and said excitedly: “Director Guo, I’m fine. As long as I can save my child, I can accept anything!”
“Sister Tao, don’t worry. Academician Jiang will explain it to you in detail later. You should take good care of yourself these days and don’t think too much about anything else.”
“Okay, Director Guo, I’m waiting for your news!”
After coming out of the hospital, Wu Gan said worriedly to Guo Fan: “Sister Tao is a little too excited. I’m worried that she will be disappointed when she knows Academician Jiang’s plan.”
“Let’s talk about it later. If Sister Tao doesn’t accept it, her son will leave her forever.”
“Digital life technology is mature, and Sister Tao will definitely accept it.”
Guo Fan’s prediction was good, but he forgot that Sister Tao did not know the existence of digital life technology.
In order to seize the time, Jiang Chen and Professor Matvey worked in the laboratory almost around the clock.
During this period, they successfully extracted the key substances on 16S rRNA, and then mixed and added histidine decarboxylase derivatives and nutrient solution to form a freezing solution.
After they injected cryogenic fluid into the body of the mouse, sure enough, soon after, the mouse fell into a deep sleep. Through inspection, all the data of the mouse’s body were maintained in a low-energy sleep state.
Seeing the groups of mice in the laboratory sleeping peacefully, Jiang Chen knew that human hibernation technology was already half successful.
Next, it needs to pass the test of time and human testing.
Professor Matvey wanted to release this information to the outside world. Jiang Chen disagreed at first, but he thought that Professor Matvey had been misunderstood by the outside world for so long, and everyone said that he was a financial liar. If he is not allowed to release it now, he probably won’t be able to clean it up for the rest of his life. The title of white liar.
So Jiang Chen agreed to Professor Matvey.
When Professor Matvey announced that he and Jiang Chen could complete human hibernation technology, Blue Star exploded.
“I never thought that Academician Jiang would get involved in Professor Matvey’s human experiments. It’s so perverted!”
“Working with the notorious Professor Matvey? Isn’t Academician Jiang afraid of being deceived?”
“What are you excited about upstairs? As far as I know, human hibernation technology is a technology in the Three-Body Problem book. This is just a joke!”
“You don’t understand. Professor Matvey has been studying human hibernation technology. He even dug up nematode samples that have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years!”
“Academician Jiang must have been deceived!”
Seeing that a large number of people on the Internet were saying that they had been deceived, Jiang Chen really couldn’t laugh or cry. Will he be so easily deceived in the future?
Jiang Chen sent the experimental data to MOSS, and asked MOSS to help write the experimental report, while Jiang Chen wrote the paper on the side.
The technology this time does not fall within the scope of national defense and security, so based on past experience, Jiang Chen can publish a paper.
While he was writing, Jiang Chen suddenly received a call from Guo Fan, saying that Sister Tao knew about the human hibernation technique and was a little broken.
I felt that Jiang Chen wanted to use his son for experiments.
They couldn’t tell Sister Tao what digital life was without authorization, so they could only let Jiang Chen go there in person.
Jiang Chen was not good at comforting people, and MOSS was even less good at it, so Jiang Chen could only take Mai Mai and MOSS to the hospital together.
After seeing Sister Tao, Jiang Chen asked Mai Mai to comfort Sister Tao first.
It wasn’t until Sister Tao’s mood stabilized that Jiang Chen said, “Sister Tao, do you have any questions now?”
Sister Tao said with some fear: “Academician Jiang, people are saying that you are going to conduct human experiments. I don’t know if it is true or false.”
“You’re talking about human hibernation technology.”
“We have actually been conducting animal experiments on this for some time. In animals, we can clearly see that animals that have experienced artificial hibernation technology do not feel any discomfort after waking up.”
“Of course this is only a short period of time and has not been tested over a long period of time.”
Sister Tao shook her head when she heard this and said, “I won’t risk my son.”
Jiang Chen did not force the other party, he asked MOSS to project the digital lives of several medical experts.
“What is this? Are they all the same person?”
Sister Tao looked at the experts who suddenly appeared around her in surprise. When the experts saw that the situation was not good in the ward, they asked: “Academician Jiang, whose ward is this?”
“Mr. Wang, Sister Tao’s son is seriously ill. Please tell them about the situation.”
“It turns out that this matter has been taken care of by us. You can go out without worries!”
Jiang Chen was no longer in the ward and came out with Mai Mai.
“Academician Jiang, is that Mr. Wang Kun? Didn’t he have a stroke a long time ago?”
“So now it has become a digital life. The country has this plan. As long as experts are willing to apply, it will help them extract their consciousness and live in the virtual world as a digital life.”
Mai Mai actually knew that digital life existed, but he didn’t know that it had been officially implemented for so long. The whole process looked very mature, and it didn’t look like it had just started recently.
“So you left Mr. Wang and the others inside? Is it useful?”
“We people in the Dragon Kingdom listen to two types of people the most, one is the doctor, and the other is the fortune teller. If Mr. Wang and the others can’t do it, I really have nothing to do.”
At the same time, a confidential document was placed on Mark’s desk.
P.s. Take a leave, sort out the plot, and release all chapters on the 10th.
