Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha

Chapter 115 Come On Snake!
There is a long and narrow corridor in front of you, segmented, and you can see the transparent bright-colored enchantment blocking the corridor in stages.

Miki and Orochimaru walked in, and after penetrating a barrier, fine water mist sprayed out.

This is sanitization.

Then enter the buffer zone, turn off the working irradiation ultraviolet lamp, turn it on after the two people have passed by, and finally enter the sterile and dust-free room.

There are various cabinets in the room, and various creatures are floating in the transparent glass cabinets.

Orochimaru looked at these creatures, and surprisingly, no bugs were found inside, most of them were common animals.

Then Orochimaru saw the floating person.

They wore the forehead protectors of Yuyin Village, the oldest was in his thirties, and the youngest was only in his teens.

This guy……

Orochimaru looked at Miki's back.

What an audacity...

Orochimaru couldn't help but licked his dry lips and asked, "How to achieve immortality?"

"There are many methods." Meiji said, "Most of them are biological immortality."

"How?" Da Shewan asked.

"Disease is one of the obstacles to immortality." Meiji said: "Individuals who are not sick can obviously live longer than sick individuals."

"So, eliminate diseases?" Orochimaru said, "What about aging?"

"Aging is not an urgent matter, and the problems must be solved one by one." Meiji said: "Otherwise, even if aging is solved, diseases can still take away lives."

"You're right." Orochimaru said: "A strong body can effectively fight diseases."

Meiji glanced at Orochimaru, pointed to a creature in a closet and said, "Do you know how powerful it is?"

Orochimaru looked over, it was a bat.

"The book says it can rely on sound for positioning, to detect the environment and hunt creatures."

"Do you think it's physically strong?" Meggie asked.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Fragile life."

"Bats can carry dozens of deadly viruses that can easily kill you."

Meggie chuckled lightly.

Orochimaru understands what Miki means, that illness has nothing to do with a strong body.

"With so many viruses, it won't die by itself?" Orochimaru asked.

"Bats have super immunity, which makes them almost immune to viruses," Maggie said.

Orochimaru said: "It's amazing... Can the enhancement of immunity increase life expectancy?"

"It's not to enhance immunity." Meiji said: "It's to change immunity. Bats have a different immune regulation system from humans. This system can tolerate viruses and suppress inflammation. When the human immune system is activated, it will cause inflammation, and inflammation will Causes a variety of diseases, including cancer."

"In simple terms, the ability to control inflammation."

Orochimaru looked thoughtful.

"So, what we have to do is..." Orochimaru said, "Transplant this ability to yourself?"

"What do you think gene transplantation is?" Meiji said: "Remove one screw and replace it with another screw?"

"..." Orochimaru said, "Isn't that the way to do it?"

"What if it's not a screw?" Maggie said.

You have to make sure that it is the part you want.

But with so many genes, how can we confirm it?

"So what to do?" Orochimaru asked, since the person in front of him raised such a thing, there is a solution.

"The basis of genetic engineering." Meggie said: "Gene mapping determination."

Miki looked at Orochimaru expectantly.

She is really looking forward to it.

Because this work is not a hard work done by humans at all.

According to Miki's optimistic estimate, within at least five to ten years, Orochimaru don't want to do anything else, just do this job.

And the immortality that Orochimaru will study in the future is not biological immortality. While he is still young, he first tricks him into working.

"The mystery of immortality lies in it." Meiji restrained her emotions and said softly, "Super immune transplantation is just one of the simple applications."

Orochimaru looked at Miki with eager eyes for knowledge.

"In nature, larger organisms tend to live longer."

"Rats live no more than two years, while bowhead whales live over two hundred years."

"Organisms consume energy to live, and energy consumption requires metabolism. Metabolism will produce metabolic waste, which will wear out the body's genes, causing aging and cancer."

"Large size means slow metabolism, naturally less wear and tear, and longer life span. Turtles are a typical example of longevity."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he said, "Do you control metabolism?"

"It's not that simple." Meggie said: "Bats are an exception. Flying is a very energy-consuming way of survival, so the metabolic rate is particularly fast."

"It has developed super-strong gene repair capabilities, and its somatic cells can divide far beyond the limit of ordinary animals."

"So, don't care about metabolic waste, and don't care about the number of cell renewals."

"There is almost no cancer. Mice of the same size only have a lifespan of two years, and most of them are more than ten years old."

"If human beings have this ability to repair genes..." Meiji said, "Isn't this immortality?"

"And what if the limit number of cell divisions is lifted, allowing it to divide infinitely."

"This is the true sense of biological immortality."

Orochimaru was a little excited, his sullen face flushed with excitement.

"And the gene map is the basis of these genetic engineering." Meiji said: "Just like the medical human anatomy map is to medicine, the gene map is the biological anatomy map at the micro level."

anatomy...

"I will do this, anatomical diagram." Orochimaru said.

Although it is an anatomical diagram, it is not an anatomical diagram.

The two are of different magnitude.

The traits of organisms vary widely, and thousands of genes determine these traits.

The so-called genetic map is 31 billion 'letters'.

A huge dictionary.

It is not enough to just copy down the pictures, you have to understand this dictionary.

The so-called understanding, one is that the permutation and combination of a section of ATGC represents a gene, and the other is that this gene determines the behavior of the organism.

It seems very simple, right?

But it is a huge workload.

There is more than one such dictionary. There are human beings, and other creatures also have them.

Although there is some overlap in the genes, they are not the same.

A huge project.

For example, this method is like measuring the entire ninja world with your feet, and marking every mountain and valley along the way, although it is stupid and slow.

But precise!

And this project means coveting God's authority.

"Speaking of it..." Meiji said softly: "The boundary of the Blood Successor is engraved on the gene. We can find this gene through gene map comparison and extract it. Do you know what this means?"

"Sbarassi..." Orochimaru stuck out its long tongue.

Of course things are not that simple, but Meiji needs a genetic map to accurately capture a certain segment of genes, instead of looking at her face like she is doing now.

What can come up with can only be hit by luck.

This can greatly improve the efficiency of Maggie's genetic engineering.

"Oshemaru, I will leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Orochimaru said lightly, his eyes full of interest and confidence.

so young...

Maggie clapped her hands in celebration.

Great!Freed from working hell!
Snake come on!

For immortality, Meiji only wants a genetic map.

Orochimaru applauded.

He is happy now.

She clapped her hands happily, and her cold face couldn't hold back anymore.

The corners of his mouth curled up, unable to stop wanting to laugh.

In the past, one person has been blindly exploring in the dark, but now there is light ahead.

That is the light of hope in the dark.

Miki shined brightly in Orochimaru's eyes.

And Miki looked at Orochimaru.

Since this guy doesn't mention salary, let's just pretend it's nothing.

Ok.

Miki nodded in approval to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is a good guy!
