Appendix to the novel: Ten ways to live forever and never die.
A total of ten methods of immortality and immortality are mentioned in the first volume of the novel, as follows.
1. Body-changing techniques: gene backup cloning, consciousness uploading and memory transplantation.
It doesn't matter if the individual suffers serious trauma or organ failure, it only needs to retain its own genetic information and conscious memory, and completely transplant it into the cloned body. Through continuous cloning, it can complete the continuation of immortality.
The novel mainly focuses on the immortality plan provided by Arctic Company to the public. Consciousness uploading and memory transplantation are the main core of the technology. Individual consciousness can be transplanted to clones or mechanical bodies.
2. Rejuvenation: reversing its life cycle to an early stage.
This method can be achieved by the real-life lighthouse jellyfish. The lighthouse jellyfish is a type of asexual reproduction in the form of polyps and is the only known organism that can revert from the mature stage to the larval stage.
As long as there are no accidents or predators for this species, in theory, this type of biological entity can survive forever.
If human beings can have such a function, then immortality is possible. Of course, 'rejuvenation' is the highest goal of studying life potential.
Or it can be called reversing the arrow of time, allowing billions of electrons in the body of life to reverse and achieve rejuvenation.
3. Perfect immunity (elixir of immortality): repair stem cells, giving stem cells the ability to continuously renew themselves, capable of endlessly repairing individual DNA and restoring damaged tissues.
Mainly to gain amazing regenerative abilities.
Original text: In fact, from a biological perspective, one hundred and eighty years should be the lifespan of most people, and slow poisoning is the cause of death for most people.
“It takes twenty-four hours for gland cells to metabolize, three days for gastrointestinal cells, and only seven days for the entire human body.
But this process is not stable, and accumulation of waste will eventually lead to organ decline and decay. "
“If the cells in a person’s body can metabolize perfectly, especially the cells of vital organs.
And relying on a special immune system that can perfectly detoxify and regenerate, then yes, he can avoid aging and achieve immortality.
This is our current research direction. "
The specific implementation of this method can be: a collection of various synthetic drug repair methods such as nanotechnology repair robots, cell therapy DNA repair, stem cell repair, telomerase injection repair, etc.
Similar to an immortal body, its metabolism is so powerful that it can live forever. It will not leave scars when it suffers trauma, and it is lucky that it did not die unexpectedly.
To put it simply, it means living forever without dying of old age, not being killed by others, and not wanting to commit suicide.
4. Independent thinking (thinking about things).
Original text: The so-called independent thinking entity, also known as "thinking things", has always been vaguely defined.
Some people believe that they are an invisible substance in the universe similar to dark matter, except that this substance has thinking, or that this substance is thinking itself.
Some people also think that they are similar to viruses, bacteria, parasites, microorganisms, etc., and need a suitable environment to survive.
Once they parasitize and reproduce on suitable animals or even plants, they will give the invaded "thinking", allowing them to create and use tools.
A small number of people believe that the final form of the evolution and development of intelligent life is this kind of thinking about things.
This group of people respects him as a "god".
They believe that whether it is passive evolution or active evolution, intelligent bodies will one day become this kind of immortal, incorporeal life form.
They also believe that this form can be realized through the development of manufacturing.
Others believe that the soul after death is this independent thinking entity.
Animals, plants, and microorganisms are all biological species that exist in three-dimensional space. In multi-dimensional space, there are also species that exist in the form of thinking objects and can live forever.
Even if the thinker dies physically, he can still turn into a thought object and have the power of thinking to continue to shine.
5. Thinking Bacteria: Resurrection of individuals, thinking bacteria activate the method of resurrecting the deceased.
The thinking bacteria is an existence reflected in the three-dimensional space by the master of thinking things.
Original text: There are tens of billions of nerve cells in the human brain. These huge numbers of nerve cells constitute an extremely complex nervous system and the most complete and magical intelligent information processing system in nature.
The nervous system includes the autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system. The autonomic nervous system mainly controls the limbs, facial features, etc.
The central nervous system includes the brain and medulla. The brain is responsible for memory and thinking, and the medulla is also crucial.
Once the medulla oblongata is damaged, the heartbeat will stop, breathing will be lost, and blood pressure will disappear, making it difficult to maintain the individual's life.
The thinking virus mainly invades the autonomic nervous system, which can control the infected person's facial features to cause hallucinations and control their limbs to respond according to instructions.
The instructions come from preset virus codes, or can be subsequently controlled by people who think about things.
Thinking bacteria settle in the central nervous system and can reactivate the medulla oblongata, forcibly resurrecting the individual's life. They can also strengthen the brain and increase its thinking power.
According to human standards, the bacteria can be regarded as a kind of beneficial bacteria, which complements the host.
Micro thinking bodies are different from thinking poisons and thinking bacteria. They can live directly in any space without a host. Like the other two types, they can be directly affected and controlled by people who think about things.
In other words, thinking viruses, thinking bacteria, and micro-thinking bodies themselves originate from thinking things, or they can be said to be part of them.
People who think about things can connect and control thinking viruses, thinking bacteria, and micro-thinking bodies, and do everything they want.
Six: Thinking virus, a method to allow its individual consciousness to exist in a distributed manner.
The main thing is to turn one's own thinking consciousness into an extremely small bacterial and viral form, and it can exist in a distributed manner.
Or in a tardigrade way.
There is a creature called the tardigrade, a tiny animal that lives in the water and has existed for thousands of years.
How do they survive in life-threatening conditions? In fact, they fell into a cryptobiological disease: an almost death-like state that helped them become immortal.
7. Those who draw a perfect genetic blueprint and achieve native immortality will have eternal life as soon as they are born.
By drawing a perfect genetic blueprint, the genetic sequence of the native embryo is changed.
Use enhanced cloned organs and mechanical organs to replace fragile human organs, complete the design and changes at the genetic level of unborn organisms, and ultimately achieve native immortality.
8. Survive as a parasite on animals, plants, minerals, etc.
The article states that the fourth thinking thing lives as a parasite on the electronic body, and all intelligent devices on the planet can be parasitized and controlled by it.
9. Low temperature technology plus cognitive reversal.
This is a method of placing the human body in a place where it can be preserved almost permanently, such as the North and South Poles.
Then combined with spiritual substances to change people's concept of time, it is expected that there will be a pill that can make people feel like one hour has passed a hundred years.
We can imagine combining this method with virtual reality equipment, and you will feel as if you have lived several lives in one moment.
The article corresponds to the infinite slow time in the portable space plus the method of delaying aging.
10. Eternal Planet
An environment that naturally allows species to live forever.
An eternal planet, life can last forever as long as it lives there. That planet is naturally a place of immortality.
