Chapter 728 Limits
There is no doubt that this "girl" who hides from the world is a person with a story. No one in the world has more stories than her. Jiang Chanji is like listening to a fairy tale, but it may be true.

The scars all over her body are evidence. He has witnessed the old and new wounds on her arms. Of course, the so-called "new" wounds seem to have been left at least decades or hundreds of years ago.

Under normal circumstances, who but a self-mutilation addict has so many scars, old and new?Scar tissue is very difficult to fake. Just like the soil, water, and mercury in underground cultural relics, it is formed through natural evolution over the years. Even the scar tissue made by a good makeup artist cannot withstand scrutiny.

"please wait."

She stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a book from it, opened it to find a specific page, and pushed it respectfully in front of Jiang Chanji.

"I've always wanted to know why I don't grow old, what happened to me, did I become a monster? With the prosperity of modern science, someone finally proposed a possible explanation - look here."

She pointed to a few lines in the book.

"The Hayflik limit refers to the limit of the number of normal body cell divisions in vertebrates. The number of normal human cell divisions is 56 times, about once every 2.4 years. After reaching the number, the cells will secrete toxins to commit suicide. This is the aging of the human body. , cause of death. This law applies to other species as well."

She read without looking at the pages of the book at all, obviously she had already memorized it backwards.

"I think, I may have broken this limit unintentionally. My somatic cells can divide an infinite number of times, or at least greatly increase this number, so I have lived until now."

Jiang Chanji stared at the pages of the book, thinking that this might be the case.

56 times, once every 2.4 years, so many medical experts pointed out that the theoretical life span of human beings is 120 years. They didn't just do it. They just did a simple math problem and took a conservative answer.

Why is there this limit?
The answer seems simple - without this limit to limit the lifespan of humans and other animals, the earth would have been overcrowded.

But is it really so?
The past tens of thousands of years ago she just described is not just a simple memory, but there is also a very hidden question - there is a balance in nature, even if human beings 1 years ago did not stand on the earth's food chain At the apex of the world, at least stood in the position of the first group, but even so, limited by the harsh natural environment, it was already rare for human beings to live to 50 or 120 years old at that time. What is the significance of this limit?Even without this limit, no one would have lived to [-] at the time.

Not to mention 1 years ago, even 100 years ago, even now, how many people can live to 120 years old?
The existence of this limit is as if the Creator knew that today's human beings would spread all over the world like locusts and increase the average life expectancy to over 10 years ago, so the Creator gave the limit in advance. Human beings have made restrictions so that the earth will not be squeezed so that there is no place to stand.

Or, the evolution direction of species is the prosperity of the population, not the life and death of the individual. The function of this limit is to maintain the metabolism of the population and let the young individuals replace the old ones. Therefore, the meaning of this limit is not to limit the lifespan of human beings, but to Is it to let human beings age naturally?
The book does not explain why creatures evolve beyond the Hayflick limit, why human beings commit suicide when their somatic cells divide 56 times, maybe scientists don't know yet, but this "girl" in front of her, she jumped out of the rules and surpassed The cycle of life and death.

She has always said that she is afraid of death, but who is not afraid of death?
Due to what she saw and heard when she was a teenager, what her subconscious mind actually feared was dying of old age.

Her subconscious mind equates aging with death, so she strongly resists aging. Her awakening is that the cells have mutated, and she has lifted the shackles of Haiflik's limit.

This is definitely an extremely rare ability, because most teenagers around the age of 14, especially today's teenagers, may be afraid of death, but they will not resist aging so strongly. On the contrary, they are eager to grow up and step into adulthood as soon as possible. The world of adults, because stepping into the world of adults means... no need to do homework?How long can you play mobile games every day without preventing addiction?But will they realize that "growing up" actually means "aging"?

Without the subconscious that resisted aging so strongly in adolescence, it would be impossible to awaken such an ability like her.

Jiang Chanji glanced at Satan, and said sarcastically, "You should be glad that you didn't sign a contract with her, otherwise she might not have died on the day you die."

"A tortoise that has lived for 1 years is still a tortoise." Satan sneered, "I will never sign a contract with a tortoise!"

"Come on, you're jealous."

Jiang Chanji looked at the various books on the bookshelf, and said, "It seems that you have read a lot. Are you already... an expert in various fields?"

"No, you're overthinking." She shook her head, "Take mathematics as an example. To become a master of mathematics, talent and interest are indispensable. If you have talent but no interest, your talent will be buried. A waste of time... I have read a lot, but only in general terms, and I know a lot, but I don't understand much, because I, like most ordinary people, have no talent in science-an ordinary person, Even if you give him 1 years to study mathematics, he will not become a master of mathematics, he will only bald his hair."

"Pfft!" Jiang Chanji laughed, this is really a fucking truth.

Take him for example, give him 1 years, will he study mathematics?No, because I'm not interested.Give him 1 years and force him to study mathematics. Can he produce any results?No, because I have no talent.

The reality is so cruel, the gap between people is bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.

She also smiled, "Especially now that the classification of subjects is getting more and more detailed, even if a talented person has unlimited time, he can't become a master in all aspects. But then again, I have no talent in science , but technically, it’s okay, because skills usually don’t require talent, you just need to spend a lot of time practicing-no one else, only familiarity.”

The last thing she needs is time, so she's good at technology.

"Thanks to the more and more developed information technology, high-end technologies that were previously unattainable to ordinary people can now be obtained through the Internet, and not only in theory, but also in practical practice." She pointed to the table on the table. A laptop, "Like the Microsoft flight sim game I was playing recently, I've spent about [-] hours on the series, and I'm pretty sure I've never actually been in an airplane cockpit even once , but if I am really asked to fly a plane, I can also do it-maybe apart from the spaceship, I can’t ensure a safe landing, other means of transportation, from planes to submarines, can’t trouble me.”

How should I put it, Jiang Chanji admires it very much, because even if most ordinary people have infinite lives, they probably devote their infinite lives to infinite play, and she is still learning various skills tirelessly, but she doesn't know what it is It's not that he misunderstood... I always feel that what she said seems to be self-recommendation.

"You said just now that you follow those children of destiny because you want to rely on their luck, but... in ancient times when transportation and communication were extremely underdeveloped, how did you know their existence? How did you know they were children of destiny? Their foreheads Is it engraved on it?" He asked curiously.

"How should I say this..." she pondered.

"Those people tend to treat others with kindness, so they will quickly gather around them a group of believers, a group of followers. Their idealism shines a blinding light, which distinguishes them from ordinary people, and their reputation will Spread like wildfire, although I may not have heard of them in the early days of their fame, but no matter who they are, their success does not happen overnight. For more than ten years or decades, I will always hear about their existence, and then travel thousands of miles rushed over."

"In addition, as my experience grew, I followed more and more Destiny's Children, and later on... it's almost like an experienced criminal policeman who can spot suspicious criminals from the crowd on the street at a glance, yes It's not Destiny's Child, I can basically make a basic judgment after just a few glances, it's just that they are not sure how much they are favored by the world."

"So you may not quite understand. Using games as an example, there are also Destiny's Children, some are knights, some are dukes, some are princes, some are emperors, some are gods, and there are divisions within the gods. Generally speaking, I will only follow Destiny's Children above the emperor level, at worst they must be at the level of King Solomon or King Arthur, otherwise, if they are not very favored by the world, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, and they will not be able to protect me."

"Because of the color of my skin, I was sometimes looked at differently by some people, so I once violated my principles and followed Lincoln when I was not sure of his rank. As a result, I got shot in the Civil War. It’s right here, fortunately the musket was not very powerful at that time.” She pressed her waist, “During the recuperation in the hospital, I regretted it and felt unsafe, so I slipped away from the hospital quietly and retreated, just like The same when I ran away from the Horde, and he..."

In terms of skin color, she is indeed not a pure white person, and she may have been discriminated against by white people in a certain period of time in the past. She admired Lincoln's attitude towards black slaves at that time, and made a decision that violated her ancestors... and Jiang Chanji seemed to be Remember, Lincoln ended up dying of himself, assassinated?
