Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

After starting from the theoretical model and obtaining information on the hibernating material characteristics predicted by the theory.

The work of the entire research team on the human hibernation project began to change.

The most important, and most difficult, theoretical work has been completed.

Although the ultimate goal of realizing the human hibernation project is still far away,

But it has indeed begun to move from the theoretical research stage to the path from theory to practice.

…

It can be considered that the research teams of the human hibernation project have rested for more than ten days.

Get busy again.

Under the leadership of the leaders of each team, the most important task is to find or synthesize the 'hibernation substance'.

Strictly speaking, this is work at the intersection of life sciences and materials research.

The possibility of directly finding hibernating substances that fully meet the requirements of all characteristic points is denied at the beginning of the research.

For the rest, the only way to go is artificial synthesis.

The difficulty of completely artificially synthesizing a theoretically predicted hibernation substance can be imagined.

If we complete the previous theory and within the theoretical framework, it is extremely difficult to predict the characteristics of this hibernating material.

To reproduce hibernating substances in practice may require some luck.

The entire research team,

The overall idea,

Basically, since there is no substance that completely matches all the characteristic points,

Then first find the closest material with the most matching feature points.

Then we will find a way to start from these close material complexes and induce and synthesize hibernating substances that meet all the final characteristic points step by step.

Just to find a substance with more matching characteristic points, the entire research team and researchers in each laboratory spent a lot of time.

This was despite Mo Dao's direct involvement.

…

While Mo Dao was in charge of the research work on the entire hibernation project,

Also directly involved in the synthesis of hibernation substances.

Speaking of which, Mo Dao was once a master of materials science.

Mo Dao's participation undoubtedly accelerated the progress of material synthesis.

From a theoretical perspective, Mo Dao may have drawn a rough range for substances that meet each characteristic point.

This reduces much of the workload for the entire research team.

at the same time,

Just like when I03 was born,

Regarding the synthesis of hibernating substances, Mo Dao also drew several general directions theoretically.

For researchers in various laboratories of the entire research team,

The work on the synthesis of hibernation substances has returned to the previous research track.

Academician Mo is always there to guide the way.

However, even so,

In this fulfilling and busy research, the entire hibernation project research team still spent several years at this stage of work.

…

1953, the beginning of the year.

After spending more than two years,

The entire research team identified a total of more than ten types of compounds with a large number of characteristic points.

According to the number, the names are sorted from 01 to 02.

Of course, this is not the human hibernation research team that only found these dozen compounds.

But after screening, the remaining ten compounds were the most valuable.

The sum of the matching characteristic points of these more than ten kinds of complexes, except for the repeated parts, basically matches all the characteristic points required for hibernating substances.

Among them, the one with the highest degree of agreement is the 01 complex, which matches a total of eleven characteristic points required for hibernating substances.

However, it is obviously not that easy to add all these characteristics to the same substance and synthesize a hibernation substance.

Finding all these near-complexes is just a data reference in the research process.

It does not mean that they can all be used as materials in the synthesis process.

In the past two years or so, the entire human hibernation research team has not just been screening materials.

Based on some approximate materials that have been found, the entire research team and some laboratories have begun to try to further synthesize materials that match more characteristic points.

It's just that progress is pretty slow.

…

54 years.

According to multiple characteristic points described in previous theoretical predictions,

Mo Dao listed a total of 8 complex structures and compositions that theoretically meet these characteristic points.

Theoretically, as long as any one of these eight complexes is synthesized, the hibernation substances needed for research can be obtained.

After considering Mo Dao's opinions and discussions among the core and leading researchers of the entire research team,

Among the eight composites, the fifth material was determined as the main direction of attack.

Because it is structurally closest to the 01 compound.

The materials designated as the main attack direction among these eight compounds are temporarily called 54-5 materials according to the time and number of the year.

…

In 1955, with official assistance in screening,

The already huge human hibernation project has added some outstanding researchers in biological materials to speed up the synthesis of 545 materials.

These researchers mainly come from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and various universities.

56 years, mid-year.

With Mo Dao directly involved and spending a lot of time on the synthesis of such materials,

In each laboratory of the entire research team, each researcher is working hard in their own research and experimental directions.

545 material, or the synthesis of hibernation materials, achieved its first big breakthrough.

The research team used 01 composite as the material.

The 01-1 material was successfully synthesized.

Other data about this new complex will not be discussed. The most important thing is the number of points that match the characteristics of predicted hibernating substances.

From 11 points of 01 material, it expanded to 14 points.

From multiple perspectives in the field of materials science and multiple numerical comparisons,

011 material and 545 material are very similar.

That year, that day.

After the 011 material is successfully synthesized,

Within the entire research team, the faces of the researchers who learned the news were all red.

I wish I could cheer.

Although there is still a gap between the synthesis of hibernating substances.

But the success of 011 material finally means that the synthesis of hibernating substances is actually possible.

At least it's a start.

…

Further down, based on the success of 011 materials.

The entire research team seemed to have broken through a bottleneck.

In terms of material research, it is considered a relatively short period of time, and several cities have been conquered in a row.

Only until the end of 1956.

Human hibernation project team,

It was once again declared that the synthesis of 012 material was successful.

There is one more matching feature point again.

and then,

That is, 1957, 1958.

The number of matching feature points increased from 15 to 16, 17...

When there were eighteen matching feature points, it stalled again for a period of time.

But under the theoretical guidance provided by Mo Dao,

After all, there is no research team that can stop the human hibernation project at this step.

At the end of 1958.

In the experimental area not far from the School of Life Sciences of Capital University,

In Mo Dao's laboratory,

This final kick was kicked hard.

For the entire research team, the researchers in each laboratory, and each collaborative team,

Although the whole research work is long and difficult,

But just like under the auspices of Academician Mo, all researchers charged in the direction drawn by Academician Mo during the entire study.

The entire research team just kept moving forward and broke through every difficulty in the research.

Sometimes it makes people feel dazed, as if Academician Mo is here, no matter how high the mountain in research is, they can climb over it.

The entire research team also broke through the last hurdle in the study of hibernating substances.
