Chapter 329: Immortality



"I understand the first two points. As for the last point, please tell me, Miss Luo. What kind of experimental subjects do you want the country to provide?"

When it comes to the body, Li Haihang has to take it seriously.

Luo Fanjin crossed his arms and said seriously, "It's a human body!"

"What? It's a human body! What are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous!" Luo Fanjin said with a smile.

"I am currently studying medicine at Jinghua University, majoring in clinical medicine. But going to the hospital to see a doctor is not my ultimate goal!"

"In fact, have you ever thought about pursuing immortality?"

Luo Fanjin's words were like the sound of a bell, striking people's hearts again and again.

Not only Li Haihang, but even the audience in the live broadcast room immediately perked up when they heard this.

Li Haihang swallowed and spoke in a light voice. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"Miss Luo's pursuit of immortality is simply too far-fetched!" Li Haihang had to say.

There have been many big-name figures who went astray during the research process and studied some unrealistic things, but they were eventually reversed or strictly regulated.

Now, Luo Fanjin actually brought up "immortality", a topic that has attracted countless people since ancient times. It has to be said that he really thinks it is a fantasy!

"Ms. Luo, I have to admit that you are very smart, but the topic of immortality is too huge!" Li Haihang could only say it from another angle and did not dare to say it too harshly for fear of angering Luo Fanjin.

"I can understand why Mr. Li doesn't believe me. After all, if anyone were to share this topic with me, they would think I have a brain stuck in a door!"

Speaking of this, the two of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

"But isn't this the way human beings develop? People once thought that the sky was round and the earth was flat, but later they discovered that we live on a planet and both the sky and the earth are round. People once thought that the era of cold weapons was the limit, but later they invented explosives, missiles, and nuclear weapons. Destroying the world is no longer a dream. Smallpox once raged, but now the last virus specimen is treasured in a small bottle in the laboratory."

At this point, Luo Fanjin laughed wantonly, "So, nothing is eternal. Immortality is not impossible!"

"But this does not conform to objective laws!" Li Haihang still found it hard to accept.

"We'll know whether it's suitable or not if we give it a try!" Luo Fanjin said confidently.

Li Haihang looked at her steadily, his heart filled with ups and downs.

Luo Fan was very calm, as if he was not worried at all that his request would be rejected.

"I need to consult my superiors about these matters!" Li Haihang finally said heavily.

"No problem!" Luo Fanjin chuckled. They had a relaxed conversation throughout. She was confident that the other party would accept her conditions.

That day, after Li Haihang returned, he reported the matter to his superiors.

The superiors quickly agreed and gave a simple reason: they didn't believe Luo Fanjin could do it at all, but if she could bring greater benefits to the country, then they would accompany her even if she was joking.

Li Haihang was shocked when he got the result, and then he figured it out.

He could understand the intentions of his superiors. If Luo Fanjin failed in his research, they would not lose anything, because most of the experimental subjects were death row prisoners. However, if Luo Fanjin succeeded, it would have a huge impact on the reproduction and development of the entire human race.

As for what has really been researched, and the issues of reproduction, ethics, and morality involved, these are not what we should be thinking about now!

In ancient times, emperors sought immortality and medicine to achieve longevity. I never thought that there are still people studying the art of longevity today. Li Haihang was very pessimistic about this.

Because of the development of modern technology, everyone has a common sense that there is a repetitive sequence at the end of human chromosomes, called telomeres. As cells divide, telomeres will continue to shorten. When the telomere length drops to a certain value, cell division will stop.

So, human life span may be long or short, but it is limited.

If this is the case, then the pursuit of immortality is basically impossible, because current human technology has not yet figured out the ultimate mechanism of interaction between telomeres and telomerase.

Thinking of this, Li Haihang shook his head and then called Luo Fanjin.

"Miss Luo, your superiors have agreed to your request. In addition, we will send someone to deal with the troubles you are currently experiencing."

"Very good, thank you very much!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fanjin smiled with satisfaction. She knew that the other party's superior would agree, because the topic of immortality was so huge and simply a pipe dream, so the other side would be more tolerant of her idealism. After all, a person who only focuses on research and has no interest in other things is simple and easy to control.

At this time, the comment section of the live broadcast room had already triggered the biggest discussion in history because of the topic of immortality raised by Luo Fanjin.

[Hahahaha, ignorant people really overestimate their own abilities! They even want to be immortal! How is that possible?]

[Isn't it? If you have some ability, you should study intelligent equipment. Pursuing immortality is just a foolish dream! ]

[Where are the ignorant navy? Where are the trumpets? Why is no one talking? Are they all embarrassed?]

[Shut up, haters above. How do you watch the show? Research! Do you understand research? I didn't say it would definitely succeed. Since ancient times, hasn't every piece of technology been developed by countless people and generations who have worked hard? The host just has an idea and is moving towards this goal. Do you think it's fun to say these sarcastic remarks? ]

[What the above person said is right! It simply expressed the thoughts of all our fans. The fact that we didn't say anything just now doesn't mean that we don't think highly of Fan Jin, but we are thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Although the current technological level of the Bright Galaxy has not yet reached the level of human immortality, our lifespan is increasing day by day, and the average age is 300 years old. Isn't this a huge change compared to the past? Maybe one day, humans will conquer the secret of genes and achieve immortality! ]

[I think it is meaningless for the anchor to study longevity. First, even the technology level of our Bright Galaxy cannot make any breakthroughs in this regard, let alone the uncivilized plot world she lives in. Second, although the average life expectancy of interstellar people has reached 300 years, this is only the maximum limit achieved by overcoming their own diseases and improving their physical condition. In the field of genetics, we have not made any breakthroughs at all.]
