Cough cough cough.
Amidst the rapid coughing, Gu Qing's sensitive hearing heard the sound of opening a medicine bottle and swallowing something on the other end of the call.
After Zhuang Youwei took the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, he used his right hand to soothe his heart and chest while taking a deep breath.
The watch on his wrist was already flashing a red light to alert the police.
[Is your heart beating faster? Do you feel palpitation, heartburn, fatigue, or chest tightness?
If the operation is not canceled within three seconds, you will be contacted by the emergency contact and the nearest medical rescue center]
Upon hearing this alarm, Professor Zhuang quickly pressed the power button on his watch with his left hand to cancel the emergency communication.
When he was nervous, he remembered some news he had come across some time ago. Some personnel of Xia Ke Academy and Jiuzhou Technology were transferred, and some Harbin Institute of Technology participated. However, the projects where Jiuzhou Technology and the government were the main force had R&D stagnation and personnel division.
As for the United States, which has been clamoring for the return of manufacturing, Wall Street finance is already having internal struggles, and the prices of certain raw materials in the international market have skyrocketed.
When Zhuang Youwei calmed down, he said in a low tone: "So the special trends in your company during this period are due to this reason?
I have known Professor Rosen. His academic level is very solid, but his knowledge is very limited.
Although we have always had a close relationship, I can also tell you that we have more than one professor at Harbin Institute of Technology exploring your technology. Major universities across the country have similar team projects, but they have not yet succeeded, and this one Professor Rosen broke through your technical protection system. With reference to the recent international situation and the flow of cutting-edge personnel and material increases in certain industries, I personally feel that there is an 80% possibility that it is the result of the joint efforts of the Western scientific community.
The explosion in the Google Robotics Research Laboratory is a clear evidence. The products that disappeared in Boston were probably put in an experimental base that can isolate signals, and were most likely dismantled. "
"You should know that our R&D team members at Jiuzhou Technology are currently either working within the company or in prison to repent. The core members have been living and working in the park, and all interactive signals from the outside world are reviewed by a dedicated system. .
So you can understand my anxiety during this time, right? "
"Um."
There is always a gap in every secret, and Zhuang Youwei thought of many stories at this moment.
Originally, it was just a simple phone call that almost caused the old man's heart disease. Considering the other party's health, Gu Qing did not make any other information later.
After the call ended, Gu from Jiuzhou Technology continued to sleep peacefully. Professor Zhuang, a senior executive of Harbin Engineering Group, could not close his eyes at all.
"Your body is getting stronger with age, but you should also consider the endurance of your body's organs. Night is when your internal organs rest. Please don't work all night for a long time. This will not be good for your health.
Refreshing things like strong tea and coffee are actually overdrafting your own body.
If you really need to stay up late to work, our team still recommends that you take health supplements including Taoyao and make up for your sleep during the day. "
Zhuang Youwei glanced at the medical professor and did not refute the other person's opinion, but he did not intend to follow the doctor's advice.
Having been a soldier in the shopping mall for most of his life, he has a high degree of vigilance.
Taoyao's product was good, but it performed so well that it made him a little wary. How could there be such a miracle drug in the world that was beneficial and harmless at all?
Even though the rabbits and mice in the Harbin Institute of Technology laboratory performed very well, after Zhuang Youwei drank it a few times and felt that he was addicted to the youthful state brought about by Taoyao, he subconsciously began to gradually control it and even resisted drinking it himself. Taoyao.
On the morning of July 8th, Chengdu Xinke District was crowded with people.
In just one day, flight and train tickets at several airports and train stations in Chengdu have experienced peak sales comparable to those during the Spring Festival travel rush.
Those companies that participated in the tasting meeting saw the "big box" technology presented by Jiuzhou Technology. When the tasting meeting was held, they contacted the company's relevant engineers and research teams to rush to Chengdu to prepare for a good evaluation of the technology the next day. Try to get your own company.
Even if you were originally not interested in certain technologies, after seeing those technical demonstrations, product parameters, and all kinds of big cakes, you will be tempted even if you are not tempted.
o Some companies even set up project teams out of thin air overnight, relied on their connections to recruit university professors with high salaries, and then gave these "temporary workers" high subsidies, so that these senior talents could rush to Chengdu's new science and technology zone to participate in technical cooperation bidding.
As long as a company wants to become bigger and stronger, it knows how to be willing to do so. As long as the temptation is big enough, what will happen if you change the shares?
There are even some foreign companies that really listened to Gu Qing's so-called "welcome" and booked cross-border air tickets overnight to fly to Chengdu.
A city has an extra tourist "peak season" for no reason because of a company's technology tasting session.
This means that when the influence and strength reach a certain level, it will radiate well to surrounding areas.
"I have arrived in Chengdu, but how to get to the Xinke District? I used Zude Map to navigate, and the software kept popping up a window asking me to fill in the application. The students and I have already filled it out and are reviewing it.
How do I know? This is called online car-hailing. Online car-hailing does not carry that destination. Is it only accessible by public transportation and taxis?
Is it going to be reimbursed?
Okay, okay, I'll be there soon. "America.
"Boss, we're here. It's no problem. We can transfer to a train and fly directly. I heard here that you have to go through many security checks to enter the Xinke District. We brought some professional equipment. The security check may be a little troublesome. I'll report it first. Well, I will contact Secretary Zhang immediately."
"Hey, old classmate, you can't lie to me this time. You lied to me about a project last time in Paris. If you lie again this time, I will file a complaint with the teacher!"
"Well, I'm going through the security check. I haven't received my pass yet. Looking at the sign, it seems that there are three checkpoints. You even have to clean your shoes here. You are not allowed to bring dirt in. It's too strict. Well, let's talk in the meeting group."
"Teacher, please wake up, we are here! Mr. Wang is already waiting for us at the hotel. He will take us to Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park in a special car soon."
"My mother, we finally arrived at the station. She flew over from our place and flew for a long time. My waist collapsed."
People with various accents chatted, laughed, and reported on the streets of Chengdu with friends, colleagues, and bosses from all over the country.
Although the bosses were in a hurry, the look on their faces was not anxious, but the excitement of being eager to harvest crops.
Of course, there are also many corporate executives who are raising funds and calculating the initial investment and future profits of business projects. Scientific researchers and corporate senior management are more closely integrated because of these important matters.
And America at this moment.
The stock price plummeted, but luckily it was night and the crocodiles could take a break.
In a certain conference room, high-level people gathered.
The big guys in suits and ties, although they are all wealthy and well-connected, are sitting on the desks in the conference room without any arrogance.
At this time, there were several professors in white coats on the podium giving lectures.
“Panel A shows the knockout of CD38 verified by flow cytometry.
Panel B shows changes in NAD+ levels in skin, lungs and liver in CD38 knockout mice.
In view of the "joint" relationship between CD38 and NAD+, we used the precursor of NAD+ (nicotinamide ribose) and the inhibitor of CD38 to observe the effects of the two on bleomycin-induced fibrosis.
The results showed that in bleomycin-induced aged mice, increasing NAD+ could significantly improve skin and lung fibrosis, including reducing dermal thickness, skin collagen content and fibrosis score.
This shows that both CD38 inhibitors and NAD+ precursors are one of the ways to effectively reduce organ fibrosis.
Using precise genetic medicine to directly block the increase in CD38, or using some NAD+ precursors, such as β-nicotinamide mononucleotide and NMN to directly increase NAD+ levels, can significantly treat the disease, and from the perspective of treating the disease The direction is reversed. We can also treat the disease of organ aging through directional treatment.
In a laboratory environment, we have been able to increase the lifespan of mice by 20% to 31.5%. Although there is no improvement in physical fitness and other aspects, this solution causes less damage to the body and is safer. high. "
After the speech, these professors were not as confident as they were in the classroom and laboratory. Instead, they were like primary school students waiting for the teacher to correct their homework, looking forward to it.
The big bosses waiting on the scene who rarely appear in the media can nod and spend more money and resources.
It's just that the team's speech was quickly passed by these real elites who "focus on the enjoyment of immortality."
"If I remember correctly, there was an article in the sub-journal of Cell, which roughly means: Inhibiting CD38 protein activity or supplementing NAD+ precursors can effectively reduce fibrosis in multiple organs.
Your research is obviously a project to overcome scleroderma. The research shows that a longevity protein regulated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is abnormal in this type of patients.
As for your treatment plan, although it is relatively novel in my personal opinion, it is not yet ready for successful human application in the short term, right?
There are too few experimental species. "
Although they failed, the medical professors on the podium were not depressed. Instead, they nodded excitedly as if they were suffering from occupational diseases.
This person's attitude is not bad, and he does not really deny his project between the lines, which means that he can continue to receive investment in the future.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed four years ago that longevity drugs that would protect humans from various diseases caused by aging would be ready within five years. This subsequently led to the rise of many pharmaceutical stocks.
But now, none of the so-called mature drugs have appeared, which shows that the journal published by MIT was deliberately done by someone.
After the research team left, the atmosphere in the conference room was still not relaxed.
Research representatives from Rutgers Medical School of New Jersey took the podium.
One of their achievements in recent years is that gene therapy can extend the lifespan of experimental animals by up to 41.4% under laboratory conditions, through injection or intranasal administration, thus opening up a new way to inhibit aging.
After the opening remarks and a brief introduction to the experiment, the research representative said: "The mice in the experiment received gene therapy once a month for six months starting from the age of 18 months. The injected genes included the reversal of telomerase that lengthens DNA telomeres. transcriptase gene, and the follistatin gene, which mainly strengthens muscles.
The results showed that these two methods extended the average life span of mice by 41.4% and 32.5% respectively.
Various data show that the treated mouse group not only extended the average life span, but also greatly improved their physical health, and could even be said to have evolved.
For example, muscle-strengthening FST gene therapy can make experimental mice have stronger muscle groups than ordinary mice in other groups, and can also prolong their growth process, which is equivalent to extending their young adulthood by a quarter. , physical fitness increased by one-quarter to one-fifth of the total.
In TERT gene therapy, we have been able to extend the telomeres of two-year-old mice six-fold within six months, and during this period, the organs and organs in the bodies of the old mice showed obvious signs of rejuvenation. "
After hearing this series of reports and carefully reviewing these seemingly exaggerated data, the director of Harvard University's Aging Research Center said with emotion: "This is the miracle of God. Genes are the chains given to us by the Creator. As long as we link them one by one, When the ring is opened, it will eventually become an immortal god.
And now it seems that with the 40% life extension result, coupled with the strengthening of the body, it is very likely that Daxia Jiuzhou Technology is using this technology.
Since they dare to use their own talented personnel to conduct genetic experiments, it proves that this project should be safe. At least in the short term, Gu Qing, the founder of Jiuzhou Technology, has not developed any special diseases. "
The tone of admiration in his sighs clearly shows that this big shot in the professional field has a very positive affirmation of this new gene therapy.
According to the process of medical research and development, after this kind of gene therapy has achieved results in the laboratory stage, it will take five to ten years to undergo approval and step-by-step process testing before it can be used in clinical applications.
And even if this technology is successfully implemented, it is destined to only become a special service for the upper class because of its specificity and rigor.
But so what?
Is there someone in the conference room who is not upper class?
No.
The research representative of this experimental team also got the answer he wanted during his trip - the relevant arrangements for the human ti experiment will be carried out within half a month.
Senior workers at Wall Street financial companies are still anxiously thinking about how the stock market will operate tomorrow and how to deal with the bond market.
Can the new outlet, AI intelligence and the previous outlet Metaverse, be comparable to Jiuzhou Technology?
Executives in the military-industrial complex are wondering how to cash in on the opportunity.
And their bosses, their bosses' bosses, are currently discussing how to "live forever" in the conference room.
PS: In this fictional world, everything is made up. Please don't take it seriously.
Thanks to Crayon for the reward of 100 starting coins, to Evan Yu for the reward of 600 starting coins, and to everyone for their recommendation votes and monthly votes.
Goodnight, everyone.
