"I will be satisfied if I can live to be a hundred years old, but I don't expect to live to be one hundred and twenty years old." Xu Zhengping said with a smile, "As for researching ways to extend lifespan, it will be difficult to find out in a while."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Zhe, who was sitting next to him, and Professor Ning Changsheng, who was sitting in the front row.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as there are no accidents, such as car accidents, electric shocks, etc., he will have no problem living to be a hundred years old.
After all, more than 90% of them can be cured now.
What threatens their lives will be the aging of their body organs.
Fundamentally speaking, genes determine that human life is limited.
However, with the development of science and technology, it is inevitable for humans to break through the genetic life span limit.
But it takes a long, long time to study.
Right now, Professor Ning Changsheng is at the forefront of research in this area.
Then there is Su Zhe.
He knew very well that Jiutian Research Center had established a scientific research team of 10,000 people for human research, plus more than 10 million people in the periphery.
Such a research team is so huge.
Even so, it is still difficult to find a way to extend human life.
Su Zhe nodded and said seriously: "Longevity! In other words, it is indeed very difficult to extend human lifespan, but we will do it slowly and gradually. We will first extend it for eight or ten years. With the development of science and technology, we will Maybe you can achieve immortality."
From a genetic perspective, the human lifespan is limited to about 120 years.
Maybe there will be some differences for different people, but not too much.
From a macro perspective in the universe, nothing exists for a long time, or remains unchanged for a long time.
Such as the earth, moon, sun, etc.
These are all changing, they all have a certain life, and they cannot exist in the universe forever.
But human beings are still pursuing immortality.
From an individual human perspective.
If the human living environment can be maintained and the mechanism of human genes is fully understood, humans can achieve immortality.
This refers to physical immortality.
There is also the immortality of consciousness.
Ning Changsheng turned his head, looked at a few people and said: "To be honest, our scientific research team has actually made a small breakthrough in the study of longevity, or life extension. Not to mention extending life by ten years, extending life by ten years. Five years is no problem.”
He has been studying immortality for many years.
In the past, it was because of the issue of scientific research funding.
He can only engage in theory.
It's different now.
If you need money, you will have money, and if you need people, you will have people.
The progress of the research will be natural.
For now, he can arrange three sets of experiments to be conducted simultaneously for the same verification experiment.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable.
Hearing what Ning Changsheng said, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Xu Zhengping were very surprised.
"Really! Can it really extend your life by five years?" Xu Zhengping said with surprise on his face.
"Professor Ning! Is extending lifespan the upper limit of human lifespan? This is the most important thing." Fan Xiaoming said excitedly.
Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.
He was aware of Professor Ning Changsheng Ning's research.
From the beginning of the establishment of the human body research research team of Jiutian Research Center, it has reached a cooperative relationship with Professor Ning's research team.
The data and information on both sides are interchangeable.
He naturally knew about Professor Ning's small breakthrough.
"Of course it provides an upper limit for human lifespan. Simply put, if a person is free from disease and disaster, he could live to be 120 years old. After our intervention, he can live to be 125 years old." Ning Changsheng said seriously, "Of course, the theory is almost clear at this stage, but the actual experimental verification is still in progress. Whether it can be successful depends on the results of the experimental verification... Well, everyone must remember to keep it secret for us. Once If the experimental verification fails, that’s bad.”
He only looked at the few in front of him, and he wouldn't talk about the others.
"Professor Ning! Don't worry, we won't lie." Xu Zhengping said firmly.
Although the verification experiment has not been successful yet, it seems that this road is feasible.
Fan Xiaoming looked at Ning Changsheng and reminded: "To be honest, when it comes to extending life span, it will definitely involve genes. We can do research, but before large-scale application, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not make mistakes. .”
Issues involving human genes are no small issue.
Once operated carelessly, it is likely to bring devastating disasters to mankind.
"We have always been careful, and we don't dare to joke about the fate of mankind." Ning Changsheng said seriously.
The development of science and technology is a double-edged sword.
If used well, humans will leave the earth and the solar system and become a true interstellar race.
If it is not used properly, human beings may very well be destroyed by the science and technology they have developed.
This is no joke, it's a fact.
Just like the Light Pillar Project, the SS-Defense System.
If you encounter a madman, you can destroy all humans on the earth in a matter of minutes.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "It is right to be cautious. We humans cannot be destroyed by our own hands."
Don’t look at the rapid development of science and technology now.
Light pillar engineering, SS-defense system, etc. are developing rapidly.
In fact, it has corresponding security assessments and related security personnel internally.
Just like the current game cabins, armored space suits, remote-controlled bionic robots, etc., safety assessments and corresponding supervision have been done behind them.
What is prevented is accidents.
The few people chatted for a while and then looked at the big screen in the control hall.
At this time, the five solar energy collection stations and two light energy transmission stations displayed on the big screen have entered the deceleration stage and will soon enter the designated destination.
At this time, Fan Xiaoming's assistant Ma Ping took the microphone and explained to everyone the solar energy collection station, light energy transmission station, light pillar project, three-door plan, etc.
The people sitting there, who didn't know much about this, listened carefully to Ma Ping's explanation.
Those who understood, were discussing quietly below.
Just like Su Zhe at this time.
He did not chat with Fan Xiaoming and Xu Zhengping, but with Ning Qiaoqiao who was sitting next to him.
"Sister! Is your space laboratory ready?" Su Zhe asked with a smile.
The purpose of building this space laboratory is to study the extreme microwave radiation spectrometer onboard the Deep Space probe, which is three million kilometers away from the earth.
Studying the faulty extreme microwave radiation spectrometer is related to the detection of neutrinos.
To build this space laboratory.
HKUST and the scientific research team led by Ning Qiaoqiao have been preparing for a long time.
As far as he knew, the construction plan of this space laboratory three million kilometers away from the earth has been modified many times, or it has been upgraded many times.
At the beginning, I simply wanted to build a small space laboratory to study the malfunctioning extreme microwave radiation spectrometer.
After the design of this small space laboratory was completed, Ning Qiaoqiao's college made a request to build a larger space laboratory to meet the needs of more experiments.
Ning Qiaoqiao agreed.
But when the design of this space laboratory was completed and preparations began, the school made another request.
We hope that this space laboratory can host all the experimental projects of HKUST. To put it bluntly, we want to build a comprehensive experimental center in space exclusive to HKUST.
At this stage, there is a Sky Space Station in Earth orbit, which is actually a very large comprehensive experimental center.
It's just that this experimental center serves all domestic universities, research institutes and other related scientific research institutions.
Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
After HKUST made this request, Ning Qiaoqiao agreed.
This resulted in what was originally a small space experiment station turning into a space experiment center with a total mass of five million tons.
In fact, this space experiment center is more appropriately considered a space city.
Of course, for a space experiment center of this quality, it is not feasible to rely on the previous beam channel.
Even if there is transportation capacity, just transporting the construction materials of the space experiment center will take a long time.
We can only wait for the completion of the three-door plan. Only with a beam channel with a diameter of 500 meters can we meet this kind of transportation capacity.
It was HKUST's idea to build it at the Space Experiment Center.
At the same time, other universities and research institutes have the same idea, but these universities and research institutes do not have such a comprehensive cooperative relationship with Lingzhou University of Technology, and can only wait for the completion of several beam channels built by the space agency.
To put it bluntly, the space beyond the earth is a wild and uninhabited place.
Now it belongs to whoever occupies it.
As for domestic universities, research institutes, enterprises and other related units and institutions, no one wants to occupy a huge space.
Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said with a smile: "We are almost ready. We will start delivering supplies when the three-door plan is completed."
"Okay! That's good." Su Zhe nodded, "I've seen the space experiment center you designed. It's very reasonable. It's fully sufficient for the use of your science and technology teachers and students."
"Yeah! It's almost enough." Ning Qiaoqiao said, "To be honest, there is no comparison between the experimental center we designed and the high-energy space city you designed."
The sky experiment center designed by their HKUST is only one kilometer long and only 500 meters wide.
The high-energy space city designed by Kelingzhou University of Technology has a diameter of one thousand kilometers.
What a huge difference there is.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "It can't be compared like this. The space experiment center you designed will be put into use soon, but the high-energy space city we designed will take a long time to build. This cycle is a bit long."
"Anyway, the functional space city you designed is amazing." Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "By the way! Penglai City, led by your Jiutian Research Center, with the participation of many domestic universities, research institutes, and enterprises, is going to develop a Head to Penglai City in Proxima Centauri, I heard that construction of Penglai City is also about to begin."
The concept of Penglai City was proposed a long time ago.
A game produced by Jiutian Culture is named after Penglai City, which is a space city heading to Proxima Centauri.
The Penglai space city has a total mass of 10 million tons and carries 30,000 people.
As long as there is sufficient energy supply, the ecosystem within it can continue to operate for a long time and can fly to Proxima Centauri at one percent of the speed of light.
From the beginning, it was a game.
In this game, people all over the world design various spaceships and space cities in the game, with only one purpose, and that is to go to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the solar system.
I thought it was just a game.
Did you know that Jiutian Culture and Jiutian Research Center jointly announced that the Penglai space city project was officially launched.
Although many detectors were continuously launched in the direction of Proxima Centauri some time ago, the speed of these detectors was not high, and the fastest was only two thousand kilometers per second.
It takes many years to reach Proxima Centauri.
However, you can explore the space between the sun and Proxima Centauri to prepare for future exploration.
"It will take some time to start construction, and now only the preliminary design plan has been released." Su Zhe said with a smile, "Our Jiutian Research Center is taking the lead in the Penglai space city project, but it is the National Space Administration that is undertaking and leading the construction."
The Penglai space city project was created by him and several assistants of Fan Xiaoming.
At the beginning, I just created an IP.
Unexpectedly, it developed so quickly and the relevant technology met the requirements for building the Penglai space city.
No, the Penglai Sky City project has just been established.
"Well! Detect Proxima Centauri! If you fly at one-tenth the speed of light, it will take at least forty years. If you are not a true warrior, you will not become one of these 30,000 people." Ning Qiaoqiao said , "By the way! You have also established a plan to build a main beam channel in the solar system, which is what you call the light channel plan. You want to build a beam channel with a diameter of five kilometers across the solar system. When do you expect it to be completed?"
"The beam channel across the solar system is only part of the light channel plan. This plan is a project established by our research center. It can be constructed and led by the transportation department." Su Zhe explained, "To put it bluntly, it is to be built in the solar system. A beam channel transportation network to facilitate the future transportation of materials and personnel in the solar system.”
The development of the solar system is not a random mess.
That means long-term planning and arrangements.
Relevant domestic departments and institutions have taken action.
In the past, these departments and institutions only had to worry about domestic affairs, but now they no longer have to worry about the development and development of the entire solar system.
I heard complaints from relevant personnel that they used to only take care of a small village, but now they have to take care of the entire planet.
He also said that what he fears most is technological breakthroughs and innovations.
The development plan that we worked so hard for has not yet been implemented, and science and technology have achieved breakthroughs.
The old development plan will be overthrown and a new development plan will be drawn up.
For example, the layout of the Light Column Project is constantly changing.
And there is a deep-seated relationship between the light pillar project and the light channel project.
Then there are communications and so on.
After a while, the construction and leadership of the light pillar project will also be handed over to relevant national departments.
These involve the planning of the entire solar system, and this work should not be considered by the Jiutian Research Center.
I don't have the heart to think about this.
It is better to let the relevant national departments worry about this matter, after all, they are professionals.
What he and Jiutian Research Center want to do is scientific research, studying unknown existences.
Such as studying the mechanism of the human body, studying various particles, studying the origin of the universe, etc.
Then there is the cultivation of talents.
To be honest, these are what he should do.
