Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

However, Huang Fan quickly frowned, and asked Pang Pang Hai: "Hai Hai, you said that the living environment of Yuan Shu was affected by a sudden climate change."

"Yes." Pang Dahai shared a paper with the other party.

This is the result of their comprehensive research based on the living environment of the source tree, the climate change of icy Mars, the research of X-transgenic microorganisms, and the analysis of the paleontological fossils and humus layer of Yongri Island.

Atmospheric oxygen levels are affecting source trees, and negatively.

"If the atmospheric oxygen content of the icy Mars increases by another 2 percentage points, the life source quality content of the source tree fruit will drop by 40-50%."

Huang Fan said seriously: "It seems that we must protect the origin of the source trees as soon as possible, and find ways to reproduce more source trees."

"We've been working on this. As long as we eliminate some of the X-genetically modified microorganisms, we can suppress the continued rise of the oxygen content in the atmosphere of icy Mars." Pang Dahai replied.

"It turns out that you have already prepared, so I can rest assured."

After studying for a long time, Jiang Zhiren finally pulled over 100 cloned mice and 10 cloned chimpanzees.

Moreover, the careful Jiang Zhiren specially divided the mice and chimpanzees into three age groups, including juvenile, adult, and old age.

As soon as the experimental living body arrived, Huang Fan couldn't wait to start the test experiment.

From the 5 origin fruits, extract the inner life source quality.

It was then divided into different doses and injected into mice and chimpanzees.

The atomic scanner is always on. In the atomic scanning screen, with the injection of life source, the mice and chimpanzees have not changed much on the surface.

But at the chromosomal level, mutations are happening.

The source of life supplements a section of blank telomeres near the telomeres of the chromosomes. Huang Fan amplifies these new "blank telomeres" and finds that this is a variant of the source of life, which is a new change after contact with the chromosomes.

"Da Hai, is your experiment on ice Martian creatures also in this state?"

Pang Dahai nodded: "That's it."

Pressing the stimulus to accelerate cell division, the mice soaked in the special solution seemed to be shedding their skin.

In less than 15 minutes, the cells in the mice divided five times, and these mice showed changes to varying degrees.

This is because of the influence of the injection of the dose of the source of life, only when the source of life is combined with the chromosomes of all cells, the body of the mouse will not age after cell division.

In mice with insufficient doses, some organs and parts were senescent, while others were not.

Experimentation continues.

On the other hand, the Binghuo Satellite City applied to the Supreme Will of Blue Star for the Ice Mars X Genetically Modified Microorganism Elimination Plan, which was approved by the Supreme Will.

Ren Yingwu was assigned to be in charge of implementing the "screening plan". They will eradicate the 4 types of X-genetically modified microorganisms that were eliminated in the screening plan from Ice Mars within the next three months.

In this way, the continuous rise of atmospheric oxygen content can be curbed, so that the ice Mars ecology can maintain the status quo. As for the restoration of the previous ecology, there is no need for that.

Because after more than 200 years of ecological transformation by the Nibelung people, the ecological environment of Ice Mars has already changed. If it suddenly returns to the previous ecology, a large number of animals and plants may be difficult to adapt and become extinct.

……

8 days later.

Huang Fan has already understood the purpose of the source of life. The principle of prolonging the life of the source of life is to use "false telomeres" to replace "true telomeres" to be consumed.

This means that the effect of the source of life is not permanent, but time-sensitive.

Once the "false telomeres" formed by the source of life are exhausted, either re-inject the source of life, or let the telomeres of the chromosomes be consumed.

"After a one-time injection, the false telomeres formed by the source of life can withstand 12 divisions, which is equivalent to prolonging life by about 31.2 years." After Huang Fan finished speaking, he looked at another report in front of him.

"Research on Drug Resistance of the Source of Life", which listed the situation after multiple injections of the source of life.

The first injection can withstand 12 cell divisions; the second is 11 cell divisions.

By analogy, up to the No. 12 injection, the source of life can only withstand 1 cell division.

If a person injects life essence twelve times, he will obtain a total of 78 additional non-destructive cell divisions, and 78 cell divisions are 202.8 years of life.

The emergence of drug resistance was expected by Huang Fan.

If the source of life has no drug resistance and can be used all the time, wouldn't it be possible to live forever in a disguised form? The rules of the universe will not allow life to live forever.

During Huang Fan's research, he also discovered another substance.

Chapter 3 Cytokines

in an eight-day continuous experiment.

Huang Fan discovered a problem that Pang Dahai and the others had overlooked before, or a phenomenon that had not been discovered due to insufficient experimental data.

Among biological cells, in addition to those that are constantly dividing, there are also brain cells and cardiomyocytes that do not divide.

Since cells do not divide, the source of life has no effect on brain cells and cardiomyocytes.

Although benefiting from the "youthful vitality" of other cells, brain cells and cardiomyocytes also benefited a lot, and the life span was prolonged by 20-30%.

It's just that this promotion ratio has completely failed to keep up with the promotion of other cells.

The board of a wooden barrel that determines the amount of water is not the longest one, but the shortest one.

The same is true for the lifespan of organisms, no matter how long other cells in the body can live, if the lifespan of the key cell, the brain cell, is not long, the organism can only be brain-dead.

Pang Panghai and Honda Masami, who didn't notice this problem at first, also felt very strange.

Logically speaking, if the source of life cannot increase the lifespan of brain cells and cardiomyocytes, it means that animals that eat the source fruit will not get two or three times the life extension.

But the reality is just the opposite. The animals on Yongri Island who ate the source fruit had their lifespan increased, and the longest increase was 2.8 times. Those animals did not suffer from brain death or heart failure.

This situation is contrary to the experimental results.

That being the case, it can only mean that something else is affecting the lifespan of these animals.

Huang Fan and Pang Pang Hai re-analyzed the composition of Yuanguo pulp, but found nothing.

Until Jiang Zhiren reminded that the answer might be in the fruit core.

Suddenly enlightened, Huang Fan and others looked at the animals and found a rule. Among the animals that had extended lifespan, small and medium-sized animals generally did not have a significant increase in lifespan.

And the animals with significantly improved lifespan are those with huge body. The characteristic of these animals is that they can swallow the source fruit the size of a fist in one gulp.

This shows that these animals swallowed the fruit with the core.
