Chapter 76 The Story Begins

WH Institute of Drug Research.

"Hey, Holden, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Seeing his good friend, Jordan Michel hugged him excitedly.

"Not bad, how about you?"

Holden asked.

"Not great, you know that,"

Jordan Michel shrugged: "This is the case with drug research. If your research results are useful, you will not be short of money in your life, but before you get results..."

Jordan Michelle pouted helplessly and did not continue speaking.

"Oh, I understand."

Horton nodded.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to New York suddenly?"

Jordan Michelle asked: "Didn't you travel to Asia?"

"I'm here this time, actually, just for you."

Horton put his suitcase on the table and asked with a smile, "Guess what's inside?"

"what?"

Jordan Michel guessed: "Could it be some kind of gift from the East?"

"Gift? That's okay, but trust me, what's inside will definitely surprise you."

Holden smiled mysteriously, and then gently opened the suitcase under Jordan Michelle's curious eyes.

"Oh, what a beautiful flower!"

As the suitcase opened, Jordan Michel saw a bright red flower inside, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"I admit the flower is beautiful, but..."

Jordan Michelle looked at Holden suspiciously: "This flower didn't surprise me."

"That's because you don't know what flower it is yet."

Holden smiled lightly.

"what is this flower?"

Jordan Michele was intrigued by Horton's words.

"Blood Orchid!"

Holden lowered his voice and said, "The legendary blood orchid can make people live forever!"

"Come on, Holden!"

Hearing this sentence, Jordan Michelle laughed and said, "I'm still immortal... Would you believe this kind of nonsense?"

"No, no, man, listen, I mean it."

Holden said solemnly: "I brought this flower out of Borneo after all my painstaking efforts. According to rumors from a mysterious and ancient tribe there, all the sacrifices who ate this flower have a lifespan of hundreds of years."

"Horton, do you think it's possible?"

Jordan Michel still didn't believe it: "If there is such a flower in this world, it should have been discovered long ago. Why is it your turn to discover it?"

"No, you don't understand."

Holden said: "This 'blood orchid' only blooms once every seven years, and each bloom lasts only half a year. If you miss this half year, you can only wait for another seven years...Of course, the most important thing is to take This kind of flower has certain risks, some people may gain a long life, and some people may die directly."

"You didn't lie to me?"

Seeing Horton's serious appearance, Jordan asked hesitantly.

"Dude, I brought all the flowers here for you to study, what did I lie to you for?"

Holden said in a bad mood.

"You mean to give me this...um, blood orchid for research?"

Jordan Michel was surprised and delighted.

"Of course, we're friends after all, aren't we?"

Holden smiled and said: "Of course, if you really research something good, remember to keep some for me."

"Haha, of course, I won't forget you!"

Jordan Michel carefully held the blood orchid in his palm and said.

"By the way, how are you going to study it?"

Holden asked concerned: "I remember that your major in college was not plant medicine."

"Yes, I am not a professional student of botanical medicine, but there are two people who are experts in this field."

Jordan Michelle said with a smile: "One is Dr. Jack Byron who just joined the institute last month, and the other one also submitted his resume to me, and I'm about to agree to him joining the WH Institute... Speaking of which, he happens to be There is an academic report to be released."

"report meeting?"

Holden raised his eyebrows: "Could it be a well-known professor in the field of botanical medicine?"

After all, ordinary people can't hold academic conferences.

"No, no, he's not a professor yet... However, in the field of phytopharmaceuticals, he has gained quite a reputation in the past year."

Jordan Michel said: "The most important thing is that the subject of his research is whether there are really plants in the plant world that can allow human cells to break through the Hayflick limit."

"Really?"

Holden asked in surprise: "Is there really anyone who studies this kind of theory that is almost legendary in the eyes of scientists?"

The so-called "Hayflick Limit" theory is a speculation published by American microbiologist Leonardo Hayflick in 1965. The speculation points out that after 56 divisions, cells in the human body will produce toxins by themselves. And die.

At present, the clinical medical community also tends to believe that this is the cause of our body's aging and death, that is, "56 divisions" is the limit for human cells to divide themselves and maintain the body's metabolic cycle.

Once this limit can be broken through, the lifespan of human beings will be greatly improved.

"What's his name?"

Holden asked curiously.

"Alex White, Columbia's youngest Doctor of Phytomedicine."

Jordan Michelle replied.

……

The next day.

In a spacious and luxurious hall.

Bai Shu stood on the stage and talked to the crowd below.

"To sum up... I think, theoretically speaking, it is entirely possible to find plants in the plant world that can allow human cells to break through the Hayflick limit!"

Bai Zhu thought enthusiastically: "If we really find this kind of plant in the future, then I think it will not be long before humans realize immortality."

Wow~~!

As Bai Shu's words fell, everyone in the audience immediately gave warm applause.

"thanks, thanks."

After Bai Shu thanked everyone, he came backstage.

"Dr. White, your report just now was really wonderful!"

Seeing Bai Zhu came back, Jordan Michel got up and gave Bai Zhu a hug: "I have never seen a student who can give a report on plant medicine so thoroughly and vividly."

"Mr. Michelle, you are too proud."

Glancing at the blond man behind Jordan Michelle, Bai Shu's heart moved slightly.

This should be the villain in the Calamity of the Python movie world, right?
Noticing Bai Shu's eyes, Jordan Michelle introduced: "I forgot to introduce you, this is Jack Byron, just like you, he is also a doctor of plant medicine."

"Dr. Byron, hello."

Bai Shu shook hands with the main characters in the movie.

"Hello."

Jack Byron's complexion was a little ugly.

Seeing the strangeness of Jack Byron, Jordan Michel hurriedly interjected: "Dr. White, actually I came to you this time to tell you that you have been officially hired by our institute; Let me ask you, do you really think that there are plants in nature that can allow humans to break through the 'Hayflick limit'?"

Hearing the second half of Jordan Michelle's words, Baizhu was completely sure that the "WH" research institute had obviously obtained the blood orchid, and was preparing to study this medicine that could make people live forever.

Thoughts were racing in his mind, but Bai Zhu's face was serious: "Of course it exists, Mr. Michel. I can swear with my professionalism that this kind of plant must exist in the world... However, we may still lack some Luck to find them."

"Perhaps luck has come."

Jordan Michel suddenly smiled pointedly.

"Ok?"

Bai Shu secretly rejoiced, but deliberately showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"Haha, it's nothing. After you join the job tomorrow, you will know."

However, Jordan Michelle suddenly put on a show, winked at Bai Shu, and left the lounge with Jack Byron.

"Ha ha."

Seeing Jordan Michel's pretending to be mysterious, Bai Shu, who is familiar with the plot of the movie, could only shake his head and chuckle.

……

Here.

Leaving the lecture hall, Jack Byron frowned and said, "Jordan, do we really want to invite Alex White to participate in the research on blood orchids?"

"why not?"

Jordan Michel asked rhetorically: "Currently, he is the only Phytopharmaceutical doctor who has the deepest research on Haiflik's limit in the world and is also the cheapest, isn't he?"

"But don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Jack Byron retorted; "Horton just delivered the blood orchid, and he gave a report saying that there are plants in the world that can break through Hayflick's limit... Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"

"Listen, Jack!"

Jordan Michelle stopped suddenly, looked at Jack Byron seriously and said, "First of all, Horton sent the blood orchids. Even I didn't know about it, and there was no reason for Alex White to know in advance. ...Besides, he has been studying the subject of Hayflick's limit since he was studying for a Ph.

Jordan Michelle stared into Jack Byron's eyes and warned: "I know, you are both Ph. Ds in plant medicine, so you will inevitably look down on each other, but you have to remember, now, you are colleagues in the same research institute." , I don't want you to cause any problems in my research because of jealousy or other things!"

After speaking, Jordan Michelle turned and left.

Seeing Jordan's leaving figure, Jack Byron's eyes flashed with resentment, and he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles were faintly blue because of the force.
