"Yes, Aye." The little princess smiled and nodded, with confidence and mystery shining in her eyes.
"Sizi does know some secrets about longevity."
Li Shimin was extremely shocked. He stared at the little princess, afraid of missing every word she said.
"Aye, you know that everything in this world has its own laws to follow. And the same is true for life and death."
The little princess spoke slowly, and her voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made Li Shimin involuntarily fall into it.
"Since ancient times, countless wise men have sought the path to immortality. The reason they failed is that they started looking in the wrong direction."
She paused and continued, "Sizi was fortunate enough to travel to the immortal realm. After so many years of study, he finally found a viable path to immortality."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He held the little princess's hand tightly. "Sizi, are you serious? Have you really found the way to immortality?"
The little princess nodded heavily, "Yes, Aye. However, this path to immortality is not achieved overnight.
It takes time, patience, and a lot of resources to explore and practice.”
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "The development of science and technology, the cultivation of talents, and the investment of resources are the important driving forces for our exploration and practice of the path to longevity."
"Therefore, only when our Great Tang controls these key resources on a large scale can we gather the strength of the entire nation and quickly replicate the great immortality gene."
"Yeah, yeah, in fact, even in the fairy world, most people are ordinary people, even cattle and horses. It is also extremely difficult to become an immortal."
"It's because the resources of the immortal world are also limited. Ultimately, they can only be gathered in the bodies of a few people, leaving most mortals to live a mediocre life."
"As the Tang Dynasty expands its territory, the most important thing is to obtain local resources, including some scarce resources, for our use, to help us build the Xian Tang Empire!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent for a long time. The shock in his heart was difficult to describe in words.
The little princess' words opened up a whole new perspective, allowing him to see an unprecedented possibility - to build the Xian Tang Empire.
He imagined that the future Tang Dynasty would be as prosperous as the fairyland described by the little princess, and how glorious and brilliant it would be.
But wait, Xiao Sizi said that the key to immortality lies in the immortality gene.
What exactly is this immortality gene? And how can one obtain it? Could it be forged by gathering the world's rarest treasures?
"Sizi, what exactly is the immortality gene you are talking about? And how can we obtain it?" Li Shimin finally asked the doubts in his heart.
The little princess smiled slightly and explained, "Yeah, to understand what the immortality gene is, we need to first understand what genes are."
"Every cell in our body contains a genetic material called DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid."
"This DNA carries our genetic information and determines our physical characteristics and physiological functions.
A gene is a specific sequence on DNA, which is like the "instructions" in our body.
It controls our growth, metabolism, and even our behavior.”
The little princess paused for a moment, and seeing that Li Shimin was listening intently, she continued to explain:
"In short, genes are like the 'blueprint' of our body, and DNA is the carrier of this blueprint.
The longevity gene is a unique gene sequence that has the ability to adjust the activity of telomerase, the genetic factor that controls lifespan in our body.
This significantly increases the number of cell divisions, thereby achieving the goal of increasing lifespan.
Theoretically, as long as we can successfully activate and stabilize the expression of this gene.
Human lifespan could be greatly extended, and living for tens of thousands of years might no longer be a dream, and true immortality might even be possible."
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes showed deep shock and desire.
"Does such a miraculous immortality gene really exist in the world? How can we find it?"
The little princess nodded affirmatively, "The immortality gene does exist, but activating it is not easy.
This requires us to deeply explore the mysteries of genetics and master cutting-edge gene editing technologies.
At present, I have made some important breakthroughs in this regard.
However, the road ahead to truly replicate the longevity gene in our bodies is still long and full of challenges."
"But these are not difficult for me. The difficulty is that there are not enough high-end equipment and instruments for research and development and manufacturing."
"If Datang wants to produce these related instruments and equipment, we need to establish a comprehensive industrial system and continuously develop and improve technology."
"And to establish a comprehensive industrial system, a large number of resources and population are needed to provide support."
"Therefore, our Tang Dynasty needs to continuously expand its territory and acquire more resources and population."
"I must unify the entire population and resources of Blue Water Planet for my own use in the shortest possible time.
Only then can we discover the secret of immortality in the next few decades, or even more than ten years."
The little princess added silently in her heart that this was with the help of Xiao Rangjun.
After hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent for a long time, his brows furrowed, obviously digesting this information.
He looked out the window. The distant sky was dyed golden red by the setting sun, but his mood was even more complicated than the sky.
Li Shimin never dreamed that true immortality was so close to him, yet it felt so far away.
He felt mixed emotions, excitement and worry.
The excitement is that the secret to immortality may be right before our eyes;
The worry is that this path to immortality seems to be full of unknowns and challenges.
Even if it can be realized in the end, but... can he live to see that time?
Li Shimin didn't know, but this didn't stop him from making up his mind to pursue this path to immortality.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the little princess with a firm gaze, "Sizi, you are right.
For the future of the Tang Dynasty and for our dream of immortality, we must move forward courageously."
"By the way, you just mentioned a reduced-spec version of a firearm. Could you give me a detailed introduction?"
The little princess smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, Aye."
"This reduced-specification firearm was improved by me based on some technologies from the Immortal Realm and the actual conditions of our Tang Dynasty."
The little princess began to explain in detail, "Although it is not as powerful as the firearms of the immortal world, it is already a very powerful weapon in our world."
Halfway through her words, the little princess called Xiao Rangjun in her mind and asked him to exchange a gun for her directly from the attention value mall, and equipped it with two basic amounts of ammunition.
