After making some preparations, Ye Xing immediately started work. He had already reached conclusions in the early stages, and now it was just a matter of formulating appropriate drugs and conducting in vivo experiments.
After intermittent and long-term calculations by super intelligence, we now have a completely accurate understanding of the growth mechanism of the human body or other life forms in this world;
The life process of cells is that in the cell fluid with appropriate pH, dozens of active enzymes in different proportions are combined to carry out biochemical processes, including cell division, repair, regeneration, and the conversion of energy required in the process. ;
The production, disappearance, and interaction of active enzymes in cells are affected and controlled by more than a hundred active peptides;
Active peptide is the most important active substance. It is precisely because of the increase or decrease in its secretion in the body that the living body has a cycle of infancy, childhood, adulthood, old age and death.
In other words, active peptides play a decisive role in the growth and development, metabolism, disease, aging, and death of living organisms.
Injecting appropriate active peptides into living bodies can break this cycle of life, thereby achieving the magical effect of extending life and effectively slowing down aging.
From the comparison results of previous studies, Ye Xing already knew that there were five active peptides that had a direct impact on cell division and repair, and there were twelve active peptides that were related to the energy conversion within the mitochondria within the cell.
In fact, the composition of these active peptides is completely different from that of life on earth, but Ye Xing still uses the same name to make an analogy with the relevant recorded knowledge of super intelligence. In fact, the shape and function details, composition Very different too.
Of the twelve types of active peptides that affect energy conversion, five are actually related to the Five Elements Qi. In other words, essentially, the so-called qualification is whether the content of a certain active peptide in the cells in the body is sufficient. .
Active peptides cannot be synthesized artificially, but they can be extracted from other living organisms in nature. This is the most fundamental reason for coming here.
Active peptides can of course be synthesized in most cells, but the quantity, proportion, and source are related to their genetics and environment.
All Ye Xing can do now is to change the intracellular environment or directly inject this ingredient.
Cell life mainly depends on telomerase and active enzymes that scavenge free radicals. Now we need to find active peptides that can increase the amount of these two active enzymes and inject them into the cells.
What needs to be done now is to extract the corresponding active peptides from nature to affect and change the amount of active enzymes synthesized, thereby changing the ratio of various active enzymes in the cell fluid.
We have a complete set of chemical composition testing equipment, and our daily job is to retrieve one or two hundred plant samples from the swamp, label them in detail, and then conduct chemical analysis to find the seventeen natural active peptides in the target.
Ye Xing's job is to wash the sample with extremely pure water, then grind it into extremely fine pieces, put it into an analysis glass bottle, and then use a spectrum analyzer for automatic analysis.
Automatic spectrum analysis of chemical components can currently distinguish thousands of components. It is the most advanced and sophisticated instrument made by Ye Xing.
The results of the spectrum analyzer are automatically stored in the computer database, and a special program will automatically compare them.
The benchmark number is, of course, the content of seventeen active peptides in Ye Xing's own cells. Those that exceed the benchmark will be marked.
The swamp with a radius of hundreds of miles is indeed a treasure trove of plants. Two hundred plant species are sampled every day, and there are still countless plant species;
After two full months, Ye Xing had analyzed more than 20,000 kinds of plants and found more than 100 kinds of plants, which obviously contained more than 17 kinds of active peptides.
In the past two months, Ye Xing encountered giant pythons that came out for food many times, but it was not the one he encountered for the first time. It was obviously huge in size. He also found the blood-colored orchids that were rarely distributed in the swamp again. .
From hundreds of collected plants with excellent aura, it is obvious that the content of more than ten active peptides in their cell fluids is indeed different from plants without aura.
But there are exceptions, that is, the blood orchid has no aura, but its cells contain an extremely high content of an active peptide, which greatly affects the synthesis of telomerase in the cells.
Ye Xing collected blood samples from the python and conducted detailed research. He found that its cells have excellent repair capabilities. The blood is black and has extremely complex components. The telomerase content in the blood cells is higher than that of human stem cells.
In other words, the reason why the giant python is so huge and has a relatively long lifespan is not only because of its slow growth rate, but also because of its excellent body cell repair ability.
Ye Xing speculated that in addition to the characteristics of the giant python itself, it may also be related to the blood blue orchid. It should be that this plant contains that specific active peptide that can extend the life of cells and stimulate some of their special regeneration abilities.
Ye Xing's test found that this trace amount of special active peptide can significantly weaken the limit on the number of cell divisions, increase the number of telomerase in cells, and reduce errors during DNA replication.
Its special active peptide also has a huge effect, that is, it can activate the permeability of cell membranes, allowing other chemical components to easily penetrate into the cell fluid from outside the cells.
Now, Ye Xing has figured out that the whole problem is how to extract the target seventeen active peptides in large quantities.
If the special active peptide unique to Hematoxylon can be added, then this research will be really successful.
Ye Xing searched all over the swamp for the extremely rare blood orchid, but only found dozens of scattered plants. He only dared to collect one as a sample, fearing that if he finished collecting it, there would be no more.
Fortunately, tests have found that this special active peptide is not unique to Hematochloa, but is contained in small amounts in various plants near the place where it grows. However, the content of Hematochloa is much higher than that of ordinary elixirs, which is a hundred times higher, especially It's the root.
Dozens of plants that are relatively common in swamps were selected as raw materials, and it took dozens of days to extract a total of eighteen active peptide solutions. Each was packed in small bottles and mixed with Bingling crystal liquid. , placed in the space ring.
Now, all that remains is how to conduct in vivo experiments.
First, he selected several strains of the same elixir to carry out. After picking up one of the elixirs, Ye Xing used the soul-stealing technique in witchcraft to deprive the elixir of more than 90% of its life breath in an instant;
Inject the stolen breath of life into a mixed solution of seventeen kinds of active peptides. The proportion of the solution is based on the proportion of ingredients in your own cells.
Dip the roots of the elixir with extremely weak life breath into it. After a while, visible to the naked eye, the elixir immediately regained its vitality, and it obviously began to grow rapidly.
Taking out another elixir plant, Ye Xing did nothing but put the roots in another culture solution.
Ten days later, the two elixir plants grew very tall, much taller than ordinary plants. The plants that were deprived of their vitality and came back to life grew taller and became greener.
Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness made a careful comparison and found that the spiritual energy of this elixir was much greater than that of the reference group of elixirs.
A leaf was collected for chemical analysis. The results showed that the content of various active peptides in the resurrected plant was significantly higher, which was obviously consistent with the assumption.
Twenty kinds of plants were tested in succession, all with the same effect. It seems that the plant test was successful.
Next, Ye Xing captured more than a dozen beasts for testing, also using a comparison method.
First, they used witchcraft to steal 70% of the vitality of the experimental animals, making them look very old. Then, they injected seventeen kinds of active peptide solutions mixed with Bingling Crystal Liquid into the experimental animals. of blood vessels.
The obviously aging animal died immediately after being injected with an active peptide solution containing ice crystals. No, it should have fallen into a deep sleep.
Ye Xing observed it motionlessly. It was fine at first, but six hours later, the animal's body temperature increased significantly, and its hair fell off. It was obvious that some changes were taking place in its body.
Seven days later, the sleeping animal woke up, looking back to its original youth and more energetic than before.
Ye Xing immediately extracted cells from multiple parts of his body and conducted extremely detailed comparative analysis. The content of a total of seventeen active peptides showed varying differentiation.
The skin and hair on the body's surface became supple, but the cells in its internal organs and muscles did not fully recover.
Among them, two active peptides in skin cells increased significantly, while the other fifteen showed no change.
Injection of active peptide mixture has different effects on the growth and repair of various parts of the animal.
After repeatedly experimenting with dozens of wild beasts, Ye Xing finally understood that due to the active peptides injected into the body, various ingredients appeared in different metabolic forms in the animal's body, and therefore had varying effects on somatic cells.
