Rebirth of science and technology academic master - Chapter 671

c665 body and soul

The scholars in the conference room are at least the world’s first-class scholars, and even more so the world’s top life scientists. After Qin Yuanqing talked about it, almost all of them could understand it, and everyone couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Because Qin Yuanqing is right. Although relevant theories in the field of modern physiological medicine believe that the limit of human life span can reach 150 years old, even if some humans can live to 150 years old, more than half of the time will be in the aging period. How can they truly If the problem of aging is not solved, the aging phenomenon will become more and more prominent, and social contradictions will become more and more prominent.

That is to say, if people’s aging problem is not delayed, the average life span will increase, society’s consumption will increase, and the value created will decrease.

This is undoubtedly a hidden danger!

Although some people keep calling for the retirement age to be postponed to 70, but if the aging problem is not solved, they will ask whether they dare to let 70-year-old people carry bricks on construction sites, and whether they dare to let 70-year-old people drive as drivers.

There is no doubt that that is unrealistic!

“So, what causes human aging?” Qin Yuanqing asked a question, and everyone couldn’t help but look puzzled.

Yes, how does human aging occur?

As scholars, they would not say lightly that birth, aging, illness and death are human nature, or that birth, aging, illness and death are all determined by fate. That is the thinking of philosophers, not the thinking of scientists.

“I think there are two aspects that cause human aging: one is the physical aspect, and the other is the soul aspect.” As soon as Qin Yuanqing finished speaking, the picture on the screen had changed, and everyone’s attention was focused on the picture on the screen: ” In terms of the body, we all know that in a large sense, it is composed of the head, neck, trunk, and limbs that we can see. It can be further divided into skin, bones, muscles, etc., while the internal organs have no Questions play a very important role.”

“If you look at it from a microscopic perspective, it is genes. Maybe at the genetic level, there are genes that determine aging.” Qin Yuanqing said: “I have a view or point of view. Genes or DNA affect the body. Genes and DNA are not fixed. It is a variable, so people can make a certain gene stronger through exercise. At the same time, the environment also affects genes and DNA, so we have seen that improvements and advances in medical treatment have extended people’s lifespan.”

“As for the soul, although no definite evidence has been found to prove its existence so far, I can say clearly that the soul exists, but it is very mysterious and we have not been able to find effective means to find it.” Qin Yuanqing said When it comes to the soul, he is full of confidence in this: “In a sense, the soul is the essence of life!”

“Why are humans more spiritual than other animals and are called the masters of all spirits? Why are vegetative people half-dead despite having life characteristics? Why do we always have all kinds of messy dreams when we sleep? Why do we always have all kinds of messy dreams when we walk at night? Do you always feel that something is following you?” Qin Yuanqing raised several phenomena of ordinary people: “Is it the soul!? Because the human soul is powerful, giving humans intelligence and spirituality than animals? Vegetative people have life characteristics but cannot wake up. , is the soul lost and the soul gone?”

“When people get old, they feel layers of twilight? Is it because the soul is eroded by time and becomes old?” Qin Yuanqing asked and answered himself, his tone full of uncertainty. Even Qin Yuanqing couldn’t understand this question.

He knows that the soul exists because he can feel his own soul. Whenever he encounters danger, he can detect it immediately and locate the threat.

Moreover, his inexplicable time travel and rebirth is difficult to explain with common sense.

Not only the examples cited by Qin Yuanqing, but also in the field of scholars, why is it difficult for mathematicians to make great achievements after the age of 40? Everyone knows that thinking begins to decline, but why is the body still in its prime at the age of 40? , logically speaking, it should be a time when you are full of energy, but why is your thinking the first to go downhill? Even in other disciplines, by the age of 50, they are actually facing a decline in thinking and energy, and it is difficult to make great achievements.

It stands to reason that the older you are, the more experience you have.

In the conference room, a hundred people looked thoughtful. If they were ordinary people, they would think Qin Yuanqing was crazy and talking nonsense, but they all looked thoughtful, because this is indeed a problem facing the life science community today. Dilemma, the two issues of lifespan and aging, have always been the most essential research issues in the field of life science.

The reason why more and more wealthy people invest in some fields of life science is because they hope that the field of life science can make breakthroughs in lifespan and aging, and they can be the first to make breakthroughs.

If we say who is most afraid of death and old age, it is not ordinary people, but people with power and the rich. For ordinary people, death and aging are actually not that scary. At worst, they will be a good man again in 18 years. But for those in power and the rich, it is different. Look at how many emperors in Chinese history were wise and mighty. However, when they got older, they became obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, causing the country to be in turmoil. As for the rich, they have finally worked hard to become rich and live a luxurious life, but in the end they have to watch helplessly as they cannot use up their wealth and have to leave this world.

Unfortunately, no matter how anti-aging methods are used nowadays, they are actually useless. For example, no matter what kind of plastic surgery or medicine you take, you may look young, but in fact you are still old.

this is the truth!

Qin Yuanqing is now trying to solve the problem of delayed aging from a scientific perspective. For this reason, he has invested heavily in gathering such a large number of scientists, and the level of confidentiality is so high. Because this proposition is so important that it will subvert the entire world, change the entire era, and change the future of mankind.

If a result is made and the result is leaked, the loss will be huge.

Qin Yuanqing divided the entire subject into two parts, one is about the body and the other is about the soul. The person in charge of the subject is Yan Ning, who also focuses on this subject.

As for Qin Yuanqing, he will not put too much energy on this aspect. His main energy is still on the ‘Double Ring Space Station’.

In 2031, the construction task of the “Double Ring Space Station” is very heavy. 10 standard modules with a total weight of 1,000 tons will be launched into space for connection. Moreover, some equipment and instruments will be transported to standard modules via aerospace transport aircraft to conduct verification and inspection of wires, communication equipment, etc., and allow astronauts to work in the modules.

When standard modules are launched into space, they are not spliced ​​piece by piece at once, but every four pieces are spliced ​​into one large piece, and a major splicing is performed every two years.

At the same time, the lunar base is also responsible for manufacturing accessories and producing high-performance rotating shafts. This rotating shaft cannot be built on the earth because there is air pressure and strong gravity on the earth, and the cost is very high. It is large, but it is not difficult to produce on the moon. Whether it is the refining and addition of rare elements, the forging environment, or the radiation enhancement of cosmic rays, it is the best choice.

The construction of the ‘Double Ring Space Station’ is far more difficult than building a production base on the moon. As long as the equipment and instruments are transported to the lunar production base, it can continue to develop and use the resources of the moon to stack up step by step from small to large. But the ‘Double Ring Space Station’ is different. It is a restricted area for life, and everyone must be careful. Any manipulation must be cautious and precise, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.

For example, if the extravehicular space suit is damaged, the astronaut will most likely die!

In space, cosmic rays are as terrifying to humans as nuclear weapons, which can destroy humans.

It is also true that the earth’s atmosphere, like a layer of protective armor, protects the earth and allows the earth to breed life.

“Boss, this topic is too big. I’m afraid I won’t be able to grasp it. Why don’t you be the person in charge of the topic?” After the meeting, Yan Ning followed Qin Yuanqing to Qin Yuanqing’s office and said with a wry smile.

Yan Ning, who is 53 years old, is no longer the goddess of science she once was, but this does not hinder her charm. As a Nobel Prize winner, she is now a truly top scientist in life. She is an authoritative expert in the field of cells and is very important in the research of cellular aging. of attainments.

Because of this, Qin Yuanqing asked Yan Ning to serve as the project leader.

But when Yan Ning thought about the huge topic of ‘delayed aging’, which also involves both body and soul, Yan Ning felt weak. Investment in this topic has a starting capital of 1 billion, with no upper limit. The funds not only come from state funds, but also from some of Qin Yuanqing’s private funds. Yan Ning is really afraid that this topic will become a bottomless pit and Qin Yuanqing will directly go bankrupt.

“You are very suitable to be the person in charge of this project. You have confidence in yourself. I believe you can do it.” Qin Yuanqing patted Yan Ning’s shoulder and said, “This project will continue. I hope we can conquer it in our lifetime. Then We will change the entire human race!”

“Since ancient times, the pursuit of immortality has been the instinctive pursuit of human beings. If we humans want to enter the universe, this issue is a difficulty that we must overcome.” Qin Yuanqing said in a deep voice, looking at the scenery outside the window, Qin Yuanqing was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty The scenery, but the gaze is deep, as if his gaze can see through the years and see hundreds of years in the future.

He saw that through their own efforts, humans have transformed the moon and Mars into habitable planets, which are full of people. Humans can mine planets and celestial bodies to obtain a large amount of resources, but humans are so fragile and have aged early. , even if you are old and unwilling, there is nothing you can do.

He saw humanity struggle, but ultimately to no avail. He saw that in order to avoid aging, some people transplanted their thoughts into robots and separated them from the body to avoid aging. However, if a person loses his body and only has his thoughts left, then it is not life at all, but has gone astray.
