Chapter 230 Longevity Potions



Currently, no manufacturer on Earth can produce this material.

"Okay, now that it's decided, let's find the top experts in the field of life extension."

No matter how much pressure the higher-ups put on the central government, we must first provide the central government with medicines for research, and at most give up two of them.

Once the essence of life-extending drugs is fully understood, human lifespan will experience a leap forward.

The European Union also controls financial resources comparable to those of oil and semiconductor companies.

Human beings have an innate resistance to aging, and the desire and pursuit of longevity by ancient rulers can still be seen in historical records.

Since the development of modern science, human beings have been studying the central mechanisms of aging for a long time.

For example, Robert Boyle, the founder of the Royal Society of England, once proposed the idea of ​​"replacing the blood of the elderly with the blood of the young".

This is how to extend human lifespan.

However, human aging is not that simple and cannot be explained by blood alone.

Gene instability, telomere depletion, lack of protein homeostasis, nutritional imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular aging, stem cell failure, and transcellular communication disorders, etc.

A range of factors contribute to human aging.

After the existence of the soul was proven, scientists turned their attention to the soul level, speculating that the aging of the soul and the physical body are mutually reinforcing.

The media's most sensational focus is on telomeres in cells.

Because this is easy to understand, every time a cell divides, it cuts off a small segment of DNA, but the segment that is cut off does not contain any genes, so it will not affect health.

However, as they kept cutting, the unused DNA became shorter and shorter until it eventually reached the useful part.

The portion of the gene that is not used is called a telomere.

However, telomere shortening is only one of the aging mechanisms.

When the media introduces the mechanisms of aging to the general public, they should talk about gene instability and nutritional imbalances.

These reasons are too simple; anyone would know them, and they fail to pique the reader's interest.

Would you click on a news article that claims smoking is harmful to health?

Of course not, but if the media publishes articles stating that smoking shortens DNA molecules, thus affecting human lifespan.

That's how you get readers.

As for intercellular communication disorders, they are too complex to understand unless you are a professional.

Therefore, the concept of telomere shortening leading to irreversible lifespan was widely disseminated through the media, making it both understandable and entertaining.

In reality, the underlying principles of aging are clearly not so simple.

Currently, most mainstream anti-aging drugs focus on combating aging.

For example, in gene editing, a long, useless sequence is added to the DNA, so that when a cell divides and removes a segment of the DNA, it won't cut out the useful part so quickly.

Another example is drugs that combat aging, such as rapamycin and metformin.

However, none of these can extend human lifespan.

If you're saying that resisting aging equals extending lifespan, there's no evidence to suggest that resisting aging equates to extending lifespan. For example, I could have lived to 80, but even after taking anti-aging drugs, I only lived to 80; I just lived like someone in their sixties for the last ten years of my life.

His condition was much better than other people of the same age, but his lifespan was not substantially extended.

Therefore, neither anti-aging drugs nor gene editing can prove that lifespan has been extended.

Whether humanity can truly extend lifespan is a proposition that has not yet been proven.

Therefore, Merlin's proposed life-extending drug received the highest level of attention from the central government.

With the extension of the emperor's life by five years a foregone conclusion, what a huge temptation that is!

They might also wonder if being able to extend their lives by five years meant that Merlin possessed even more life-extending drugs.

England traveled to Brussels that same day after receiving the news.

From England's perspective, this achievement largely originated in England, and the Europa League is simply reaping the benefits.

"Our demands are very clear. As a member of the Europa League, England can make some concessions, but our bottom line is two life-extending drugs."

England must have two longevity potions.

The new artificial intelligence originated from Wiles Yang's idea, and most of the research results came from the efforts of Yang, a researcher in England.

The results should not belong to the Europa League simply because the experiment was conducted in Brussels.

"No, the three need to be allocated after discussion within the Europa League. Our current idea is to take two out for the experiment."

Then the remaining one was given to Professor Wiles.

He was the biggest contributor to this achievement, not England.

"That's right, there's no doubt that Professor Wiles obtained a life-extending potion; he truly made an outstanding contribution."

However, the Wiles-Centered Demon Brain was provided by England, and the research path was set by England.

The Europa League played a negligible role in this.

The Europa League's attempt to seize two life-extending potions under this guise is unacceptable to us.

The two sides went back and forth, arguing for quite a while.

The Europa League wanted to give Wiles one of the longevity potions, a move they were willing to spend a fortune to acquire.

The other two life-extending drugs will be studied through observation, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and experiments on mice to see if they can be replicated.

The Bank of England's idea was simple: they wanted it for the Queen to use, as the 98-year-old Bank of England was too old to withstand any further disruption.

As for whether Merlin's provision of the central medicine has any potential risks, is it really worth worrying about at his age?

The two sides kept arguing back and forth.
