Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

28 years.

While China is advancing its plan to completely eradicate cancer,

Mo Dao’s laboratory, as well as the collaborative research teams between the laboratory and various universities,

Under the auspices of Mo Dao, research on cancer mechanisms continues.

In fact, at this point in the research,

Most of the questions in the mechanism of cancer have already been answered.

For other collaborative research teams involved in the study,

The results obtained by Professor Mo Dao can almost completely explain the underlying mechanism of the entire carcinogenesis process.

In a large number of experiments requested by Professor Mo Dao, the data obtained,

A clear context has gradually been clarified, which can outline the underlying principles of the carcinogenesis process.

But for Mo Dao,

There are still some unresolved questions about the mechanisms of cancer.

Fundamentally, it’s because Mo Dao not only wants to know the mechanism of cancer itself,

I also want to continue to expand and obtain some information related to cancer mechanisms, such as aging mechanisms and other various mechanisms in the body.

Mo Dao was not very anxious about this.

In his long life, he has experienced many times, much longer than this, repeated attempts to achieve a goal and a problem.

Regardless of whether it was the military victory that finally brought the youth of Kerner to victory,

Or it may be to solve a problem in scientific research that has trapped the entire world.

The various cooperative research teams under the command of Mo Dao are not in a hurry. After all, they already have it, and the results can be seen step by step.

but,

It has indeed been a long time since Mo Dao started this research in this life.

If counted from 2014, Mo Dao has invested more than fourteen years on this issue.

…

28 years,

Just like previous studies on tumor suppressor mechanisms,

Mo Dao asked all cooperative laboratories and cooperative units to stop related experiments.

As far as experiments are concerned, the data obtained are actually quite rich, and what is needed now is a new breakthrough.

For a time, the cancer mechanism research team and research group, which had gradually expanded to quite a large size in recent years, seemed to have become somewhat stagnant and quiet.

…

"Mo Dao, today your professional title may be upgraded to first-level professor."

"Um."

In the office, Professor Chang, who is already the dean of the School of Life Sciences, chatted with Mo Dao for a few words.

After Professor Chang finished speaking, he looked at Mo Dao again.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

He naturally knew about the research on cancer mechanisms conducted by Mo Dao.

In recent years, some people in the Academy of Life Sciences have actually thought about persuading Mo Dao to give up further research in this field.

It's not that I don't believe Mo Dao, it's mainly because Mo Dao has invested too long in this field.

For an undoubted genius, spending so much energy on such a project is a bit of a waste.

But no one can really say this,

After all, to put it bluntly, the previous achievements in research on cancer suppression mechanisms are enough to last a lifetime.

As long as human history continues to exist, Mo Dao will always be remembered by mankind for his research on cancer suppression mechanisms.

"...how is the research on cancer mechanisms going?"

"There are still one or two final issues that have not been resolved."

Mo Dao smiled and responded to Professor Chang,

"But it should be soon."

Professor Chang, who was hesitant before, heard Mo Dao’s words,

There was no hesitation anymore, and he immediately started laughing,

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news. When the results are announced, the college will hold a celebration banquet for the whole college for you!"

"OK."

…

December.

After Qin Huaishi finished working in the laboratory, he returned home alone.

There was no need to go to the lab or office to wait for Mo Dao.

When he went out early this morning, Mo Dao entered the study room at home and said he was thinking about some issues.

At noon, he sent Qin Huaishi a message in advance that he would not go to school today.

In this life, Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao were already married.

It was the year Qin Huaishi graduated from his doctoral studies.

The two of them still live not far from Capital University.

When Qin Huaishi returned to the house, she saw that the living room was still with the lights off as when she left early in the morning.

It's not that surprising,

He went straight to the study.

The study door was not completely closed, and Qin Huaishi did not knock on the door.

When Mo Dao was thinking about a problem, knocking on the door would actually affect Mo Dao's thoughts.

But after the door opens,

What surprised Qin Huaishi a little was,

Mo Dao in the study did not look through any information or experimental data, nor did he think too deeply.

On the contrary, it seems that he is quite childish, using some books and some printed data to build a "castle" on the table?

When Qin Huaishi opened the door, Mo Dao had already raised his eyes from the gadget he had built up in front of him and looked at Qin Huaishi.

"Has there been a breakthrough in research?"

Qin Huaishi asked with a smile on his face.

"Well, there is a breakthrough."

Mo Dao responded and smiled.

Then he stood up, and at the same time reached out directly under the 'castle' where the books and materials were built, and took out a book used as a support.

In an instant, the books piled up on the table fell down and collapsed on the desk.

"This is cancer."

Mo Dao handed the book he had taken out to Qin Huaishi.

Qin Huaishi looked at the book, then looked at the pile of books that had fallen on the table, and finally looked at Mo Dao.

This is obviously a metaphor.

"A stable system, no matter how stable it is, cannot run stably forever. Collapse is the only outcome."

"In the universe, entropy increase is inevitable, and the law will inevitably move towards disorder."

"Cancer is the manifestation of a stable system heading towards collapse."

"And in the underlying mechanism, the elements that constitute the formation of cancer are actually the necessary conditions for the survival of animals and humans."

Mo Dao's words, in more specific terms,

are, 'this program relies on bugs'.

Cancer is the bug in the human body system.

That is, it is the manifestation of the collapse of various systems in the human body, and the body also relies on similar mechanisms to survive.

"Based on this rough inference, cancer may never be removed from a naturally born animal group. If there are alien creatures with similar structures in the universe, they will probably get cancer."

Mo Dao put the book in his hand on the desk and said with a smile.

Of course, what Mo Dao said to Miss Qin Huaishi was actually just a metaphor.

In reality, the results obtained in the study of cancer mechanisms are much more complex and obscure,

involving a huge data chain, and a large number of underlying logics involving various related mechanisms.

The process of the entire cancer mechanism acting in the whole body cannot be explained by a metaphor.

It's just that Mo Dao's description is more vivid.

If the paper is taken out for Miss Qin Huaishi to see,

Miss Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao have different research directions.

Qin Huaishi listened to Mo Dao's words, looked at Mo Dao, and then looked at the pile of books on the table.

In fact, she understood Mo Dao's description very vaguely, but it didn't matter.

"...You seem a little regretful?"

"Really?"

Mo Dao did not hide his emotions in front of Qin Huaishi.

The final research results on the cancer mechanism,

mean that from the perspective of the cancer mechanism, there is actually no way to completely eliminate cancer.

The cancer elimination action currently being carried out with Inhibit 03 is essentially just a delay in the onset of cancer,

and human life span will not last until then.

Secondly,

Mo Dao got a glimpse of some information about the aging mechanism, or research related to life span.

To break the limit of life span may be much more difficult than most people expect.
