As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 223 Hydra Project
Although the people around didn't know what happened to Wiles, they could clearly feel that his condition had improved.

Zheng Li added some special ingredients to the life-prolonging potion, which can disturb the perception of the outside world.

The magnetic field is a very common scientific phenomenon, but the human body's magnetic field is considered by many people to be pseudoscience.

In history, many civilizations in Eurasia have definitions similar to the magnetic field of the human body, and these definitions have different names.

Huaguo calls it qi, and local medicine in Huaguo believes that qi is the first line of defense of the human body.

Of course, in modern China, local medicine is questioned by many people.

The magnetic field of the human body is not clearly defined, but it clearly exists.

Such as EEG and MRI are the application scenarios of the human magnetic field after scientific induction and analysis.

Zheng Li knew that they would definitely use the life-prolonging potions for humans.

And according to his understanding, when using it, it will definitely be stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

Therefore, in order to make the life-prolonging potion more attractive, Zheng Li deliberately added special ingredients in it.

The special ingredients come from the extracts of magic plants, which can cause disturbances in human perception.

Usually, some people are full of energy, while others are sluggish. The magnetic field of their human body makes others feel differently.

This requires the magnetic field of the human body to cooperate with personal behavior and the image in other people's minds, and the triple combination can achieve a clearly differentiated effect.

The special ingredients added by Zheng Li infinitely raised the part of the magnetic field of the human body.

The "audience" present obviously felt that Wiles was much younger.

The wrinkles on his face, the white hair on the top of his head, and the gray beard have not changed in the slightest, but he just feels younger.

Adding special ingredients can also confuse the ingredients of the blue star people's reverse cracking life-prolonging potion, making their reverse engineering more difficult.

"As for the more subtle feelings, it is difficult to find words to describe. I need time to sort out my thoughts."

"In short, I can feel that my body has recovered significantly, as if returning to the state it was five years ago."

After Wiles took the life-prolonging potion, he was taken for a medical examination before he could finish speaking.

After the physical examination, his physical examination report was compared with the latest physical examination report, and all indicators improved significantly.

You must know that after the injection of the magic brain, their frequency of physical examination is extremely high.

England found Wiles' physical examination report five years ago for comparison. From the perspective of physical data, many of his indicators have returned to five years ago.

"We still don't know whether Wiles lived five years longer, or five years younger, but the length of life wouldn't change.

Just one sample doesn't prove what Merlin said is true. "

Blue Star's existing scientific so-called life extension is essentially anti-aging.

When the human body is 70 years old, its own state is the same as that of 60 years old.

But it will not make you live 70 years old and get 80 years old after using anti-aging treatment.

Of course, there are also efforts to prolong life.

For example, increasing the telomere length of cells in the body through gene editing can indirectly allow cells to divide multiple times and avoid cutting useful DNA during division.

The problem with this approach is that death is not determined by telomeres alone, and there has not been a proven strong correlation between extending cellular telomere length and extending lifespan.

But in reality, many wealthy people have undergone similar operations.

"I believe that Merlin will not fool us on this matter. Compared with the magic brain that bridges the gap between reality and will, life-extending potions have much lower technological content.

There are many ideas in the technology of the life extension medicine Blue Star.

We don't have the slightest idea about the magic brain until now, how the magic civilization developed the magic brain.

And the production method of the life-extending potion is 50 magic coins, which seems to be a lot, but I believe that within five years, there will be a way to make the life-prolonging potion that can be exchanged by the country.

So I don't think Merlin is going to lie to us about this, it's not necessary.

The life-extending potion was originally an additional reward. "

"Yes, I agree.

Did the researchers present control it?

They need to be silenced for a while.

If they want to meet their family members during this period, they can take their family members to the research base.

But once connected, they cannot go out in the short term.

Anyway, how we obtained the life-extending potion, this secret must not be revealed. "

When the Europa League discovers that there may be unexpected rewards for making a contribution, the discovery is precious.

They immediately thought that if artificial intelligence is like this, so is the Mars base.

Mars is too far away, and it will take at least seven to eight years to build a base on Mars, and build a small base that can accommodate three people.

But it is possible that American will also get additional rewards for establishing a base on the moon.

If American or Huaguo knew, they would definitely choose to build a base on the moon first.

But they don't know how the extra rewards are obtained, so they don't necessarily build a base on the moon.

The original plan of the American side was to land on the moon first, then launch a space station around the moon, and then establish a base on the moon.

After the step of establishing a base on the moon is completed, it will gradually test Mars.

The problem now is that the best orbit around the lunar space station is occupied by the Chinese.

Now they have to find the track again, and it is not so easy to find a more suitable track.

In particular, the moon-orbiting space station has to take on the important task of going back and forth between the empty moon and the empty space.

Previously, it took NASA more than a year and [-] million yuan of funding to confirm this orbit.

So American's current plan is to bypass the moon directly and land on Mars.

Then consider building a base directly on Mars.

We can't waste any more time, the pressure from the Chinese people is getting bigger and bigger.

Huaguo is proceeding steadily according to the plan.

In 2024 alone, Huaguo's astronauts have made more than three round-trips to the Blue Star and Moon-circling space stations.

They plan to land on the moon in March 2025, and then make frequent blue star-space station-moon round trips in 3.

Move some special construction materials to the moon in 2025.

In 2026, the construction of a small lunar base will be completed.

The Huaguo plan is very stable.

"Now all the researchers who know about this have signed a stricter confidentiality agreement, and within two years they will be silent and unable to contact the outside world.

We will regularly package the processed external information and put it in the database of the base.

Their news will be a month behind the outside world. "

"There's also the issue of England's insistence on getting one of the remaining life-extending potions.

We need to convince England that the overall situation is the top priority. The remaining two life-extending potions will be analyzed and researched, and the results of the research will be shared by the countries in the alliance.

England is no exception. "

England was very insistent, and insisted that at least one more life-extending potion should be given to them.

The Europa League cannot accept it, because in their view, everyone is now one, so why do you want to use two?

The two sides were deadlocked, and finally England compromised.

There is no way to compromise, the life-prolonging potion is not in their hands, it is in Brussels.

If the potion is in London, the Englishman can use up all three of them for you.

Based on life-extending potions, the Europa League launched a project named Hydra.

Hydra is an animal with a very slow aging rate. Some people think that it can live forever if it maintains certain conditions.

"Hydra's genome is rich in A and T bases"

"More than 70.00% of them are A and T, and about 60.00% of transposable elements are contained in A and T."

"Currently, the strain treated with the life-extending agent is asexually reproduced in the laboratory through asexual budding, and it is found that it is a diploid with a large amount of heterozygosity"

"That's about 0.7 percent SNP between alleles, and it's currently distributed along the genome as expected."

"Currently these features allow shotgun sequencing and assembly to generate two complementary components CA and RP"

"Both CA and RP were deposited in base pairs. Contig and scaffold N50 values ​​for the CA assembly were 12.8 kb and 63.4 kb, respectively."

"The RP assembly has a contig length of 9.7 kb and a scaffold N50 length of 92.5 kb."

"CA assembly gave a non-redundant genome size of 1.05 Gb. RP assembly gave a non-redundant genome size of 0.9 Gb."

"We chose an assembly that minimized sequence redundancy due to separate assembly of haplotypes. Genes were found in both assemblies in approximately 99% of known hydra .”

"However, there is still a problem. How does the life-prolonging drug ensure that the expression of cells does not change, but only changes at the gene level."

"The changes at the gene level did not lead to differences in expression, which is incredible!"

"All major bilateral signaling pathways, including wnt, transforming growth factor-beta, Hedgehog, receptor tyrosine kinases, and Notch, were specifically expressed."

"Nerve cells in co-treated microbiota form synapses on contractile epithelial muscle cells that contain dense core vesicles, paramembrane densities, and fissures26"

"It's amazing that these synapses look and feel like typical neuromuscular junctions in bilateral animals."

"However, common components in these bilateral neuromuscular junctions, such as choline transporters and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, are not encoded in the genome of the microbiota."

"The role they play is consistent with a role in neuromuscular signaling.

It is possible that these ingredients are only present in their probable raw form.

Can we assume that carnitine acetyltransferase is selectively expressed in the absence of choline?
And components like vesicular acetylcholine transporters don't exist? "

"The microbiota use neuropeptides to control behavior, and these may be contained in dense core vesicles at synapses.

Bacteria did survive longer after being treated with life-extending agents"

"What the hell! Life-prolonging potions can also work on organisms like bacteria.

And judging from the existence time of the flora, the proportion of extended lifespan to its general lifespan is exactly about 6.5%.

Five-year life extension accounts for almost 6.5% of the average human life expectancy. "

After the countries within the Europa League reached an agreement, they began to advance related work as soon as possible.

Bayer, Roche and other major pharmaceutical companies deployed top scientific research forces to participate in related research work.

In the field of biomedicine, the strength of the Europa League is second only to American.

Especially in the field of anti-aging, it has an extremely long history, which can be traced back to the Renaissance era.

The official researchers of the Europa League present are okay, everyone has a high acceptance of magic.

But the researchers transferred from major pharmaceutical companies looked incredible.

They are very excited when they know that they are going to study magical creations.

But when they saw such a drug that violated pharmacology, it was hard for them to believe it. Even though they saw it with their own eyes, they were still full of doubts in their hearts.

Especially after the bacteria were treated with a small amount of life-extending medicine, the various characteristics displayed made them even more incredible.

"And there is another question, that is, whether the life extension mechanism of human beings after using life extension medicine is the same as that of bacteria?
I used to think how it is possible for the same potion to have different effects when used on different creatures.

Even if the effects are different, this is also caused by the differences in the creatures themselves.

But now I can't guarantee that.

We don't know as much about magic as we do about space. "

They plan to continue studying the microbiota treated with life-extending agents, neurogenesis, induction of organizers, sex reversal, symbiosis, aging, feeding behavior, light regulation, pluripotency of somatic stem cells, temperature-induced cell death, neuronal turnover Differentiation and so on a series of changes.

Also choose to model phenomena such as reaction diffusion, positional information, and autocatalysis of binding side inhibition.

Attempts to use modeling to solve the analysis of a series of problems such as evolutionary mechanisms, maintenance of dynamic homeostasis, stemness regulation, innate immunity, and bioactive compounds in ecosystems.

While relevant studies are being carried out within the Europa League, intense negotiations are underway outside.

Relevant people from American, Huaguo, Neon, and Kangaroo have all gone to the Europa League.

They hope to find out all they can about life-extending potions.

But the problem is that there are very few people who know about it, and now they are all isolated from the world by the Europa League.

They cannot get news from other than official channels.

The tone of the Europa League is also very stuck, anyway, I just don’t tell you, if you ask me, I will speak in an official tone.

Until Huaguo revealed that the production of life-prolonging potions may be related to magic.

Hua Guo used biological storage technology as an example. The key links in it require magical processing to manufacture.

Not possible with existing technology.

Hua Guo said that the production of life-prolonging potions is very possible, and magic must be involved.

The Europa League has never exchanged biological storage technology, and has no idea that magic can also directly process molecular materials.

Huaguo found some evidence and showed it to the Europa League. After reading it, the two sides negotiated bit by bit.

In the end, the Europa Alliance cooperated with Huaguo in part of the Hydra Project.

As for why not choose American, because cooperation with Huaguo can guarantee the sharing of results.

Cooperation with American is not guaranteed.

What happened to the Webb telescope before is still vivid.

As for Nihong, Nihong can't exchange anything, and there is no basis for cooperation.
