Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 38 Keeping a balance between work and life

It seems like a very inconspicuous knowledge, but often because of this seemingly inconspicuous knowledge, it is possible for human beings to avoid destruction due to ignorance.

"Dr. Yi, thank you for everything you have done for mankind!" Yue Yuan, who understood the meaning of all this, said sincerely, and then he stood up, "By the way, Dr. Yi, if the institute runs out of serum, just tell me directly , It’s just a few tubes of blood, but my body can still bear it.”

"That's good, but Dr. Lu smoked a few tubes a while ago, and now there are still some." Yi Kai also stood up, apparently planning to take a few steps to see Yue Yuan out of the door.

And Dr. Lu Yue Yuan he was talking about also knew that he was a female doctor named Lu Xiaofen, who was a former linguistics expert on Callisto and a person who had inhaled the red gas.

Because the other five have died on earth, only Yue Yuan and Dr. Lu are the living receptors of the red gas in the entire human race, and the research institute naturally uses their serum for research.

It happens to be one male and one female, which can meet the requirements of gender-specific controlled experiments.

Yue Yuan stepped out of the door and said, "Okay."

"I almost forgot, regarding the serum research, if Mr. Yue has time in the near future, he will go for a special physical examination. After the results come out, just ask someone to send them to our Institute of Life Genetics." Yi Kai was about to turn around and go back. , but suddenly stamped his feet and called Yue Yuan to stop.

"Special physical examination? What examination?" Yue Yuan straightened his wrinkled shirt and looked back with a puzzled expression.

"Well~~~" Yi Kai scratched his itchy chin and made a long final sound in his mouth, as if he was thinking about how to say it.

After a pause for a few seconds, Yi Kai looked at Yue Yuan and continued: "I believe Mr. Yue should have understood what I just said. The red gas 'cheated' the instinct of the genetic factors of life. Of course, from another perspective, Aging genes are suppressed, but that’s not what I’m talking about now.”

"Say something quickly."

"I understand." Yi Kai took over Yue Yuan's words with ease, and then said seriously: "Because of this, we have come to a conclusion. Although this conclusion is normal for life span research, I think It is still necessary to tell the chief, after all, it is a matter of the chief’s health.”

Seeing Yue Yuan looking at him with raised eyebrows, Yi Kai coughed and said, "Let's put it this way, the president had better go for a thorough fertility check."

"What?" Yue Yuan looked confused.

"Literally, fertility check." Yi Kai repeated again.

After being stunned for a moment, Yue Yuan figured it out, so he quickly confirmed: "Does Dr. Yi mean that the red gas will make people lose their fertility?"

"Yes, our conclusion is this. It will be lost, but it will not be completely lost." Yi Kai continued talking as if talking to himself, "Because the genetic information of biological instincts has also been suppressed, theoretically it is affected by The body will experience a loss of fertility as a result, but according to our predictions, this loss should be restored after the inhibitory effect dissipates. Judging from the current total life span extended, this time should be 500 years later."

Having said this, Yi Kai paused for a moment and saw that Yue Yuan was silent, so he asked, "General, do you understand what I mean?"

I am not a fool.

Yue Yuan rolled his eyes: "Understood, in about 500 years, I will enter the normal growth stage again, restore my fertility, and at the same time, I will slowly grow old at that time. Is that what you mean?"

"The chief is indeed very smart." Yi Kai gave Yue Yuan a big thumbs up.

An agile chicken.

Just follow your train of thought. "I understand. I'll check it out later. Is it an in-depth genetic test?" Yue Yuan confirmed. He thought it was something, but it turned out to be just this.

Having children or not is indeed a big deal for human beings nowadays, but it is not that difficult for him personally to accept, and he does not care about his fertility problem.

On the contrary, he is more concerned about the impact of this thing on human beings.

If life-span technology is successfully developed from serum, will he temporarily lose his fertility like his current situation?

If this is the case, then you really need to think about the policies for using this technology in advance.Although this matter has not been revealed yet, as long as humans continue to survive, Yue Yuan believes that this technology will eventually be realized, and it must be realized.

Although long life is not a necessary prerequisite for exploring the vast universe, it is an important factor in success or failure.

Think about the voyage that can take hundreds of years. If people have changed several generations before reaching the destination, then there may be nothing to set sail. Anyway, if you can't reach it in this life, you might as well enjoy it.

Of course, Yue Yuan also heard it. What Yi Kai said was that it was predicted that it would recover in the future. It was just a prediction, and it might not recover.

However, Yue Yuan did not care. At most, if it is really determined that it cannot be restored in the future, then he can formulate corresponding policies, such as stipulating the number of children before using this technology. It does not hurt.

"Why didn't I find this problem during the test in Beijing?" Yue Yuan suddenly remembered the physical examination in Beijing at that time. He said to Yi Kai: "I remember that the examination was also very comprehensive at that time, such as sperm activity, sexual function, etc. Almost all All physical function items were tested and no such problem was found.”

"You can't find problems just by looking at indicators such as activity. Some things require real experiments to know. If it weren't for Dr. Xiao Lu's cooperation, I wouldn't have been able to find this problem." Yi Kai shook his head and answered Yue Yuan's question.

???

"Dr. Xiao Lu, cooperate? How?" Yue Yuan seemed to have heard some key words.

Yi Kai pretended not to hear, then turned around and walked back: "Ahem, it's nothing. Chief, you'd better go check it out."

What the hell!

"Could this old man do something with Dr. Xiao Lu?" Looking at Yi Kai who turned to leave, Yue Yuan's figure of Dr. Xiao Lu appeared in Yue Yuan's mind.

He remembered that Lu Xiaofen should be only 35 this year, and the old man Yi Kai seemed to be 75 years old. He couldn't tell that this old man was really good.

Not only is the old cow eating young grass, but it also promotes work research while doing personal things. This is how to balance life and work, it really works!
Somehow, Yue Yuan suddenly remembered a sentence from a poem written by Lu You more than 1000 years ago: Don't say that the old cow has been suffering for a long time, I am still working hard at eighty years old.

To be honest, Yue Yuan knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of this poem, but for some reason, he thought it was quite appropriate.

"Just check, just check, just in time to see what the problem is." After muttering, Yue Yuan turned and left.

There must be no problem with the function. Yue Yuan knows his own body well, and he also believes that Yi Kai will not joke about this kind of thing.

After all, judging from what he just said, the old man should have tried it himself. He is only over 70 years old. In this era, he is really not considered dying.
