The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 299: , Extend life span for grandparents?

   was busy all day. At the first moment when she returned to the hotel, Alice jumped onto the bed and immediately twisted her body like a soybean worm.

   "Oh~ I'm exhausted~!"

   Look at this posture. The girl's slender waist is twisted in two directions at the same time, the upper body is facing the left side, and the lower body is facing the right side, even the neck is turned around. Furthermore, when James smiled and walked into the room, Alice immediately changed their respective turns, with the upper body facing the right side and the lower body facing the left side. At the same time, the whole body turned a full circle, turning from the back to the prone.

   "Oh yo~ but it's exhausting me~"

   "Having a one-day meeting with the employees, it makes you so tired?"

James put his daughter’s suitcase at the door and took off his leather jacket, but he did not hang it on the door of his daughter’s bedroom: "Your father and I have at least three classes every day, 270 minutes. I basically stood all the way, not more tired than you?"

   "Well, that's what I said."

As she said so, Alice's body did not stop moving, she continued to groan and roll on the bed, and by the way, she covered her head under the pillow: "But dad, this is my room. When girls are lying on the bed, men must avoid them!"

James hung the leather jacket on his arm and saw that his daughter was about to bury his neck under the pillow. He shook his head and smiled: "Quietly what you are now, if you have a boyfriend someday, don't let him see this casually. One scene, otherwise it would destroy the image too much."

   Alice stopped humming, lifted her head from under the pillow, and pressed it on top of the pillow again: "I don't want a boyfriend. Dad is not allowed to talk nonsense. I'm going out. I have something to do tomorrow."

   Seeing that it was getting late, it was indeed inconvenient for James to stay in his daughter's room anymore, but before going out, he did not forget to leave a sentence: "What time do we get up tomorrow? Where shall we go for dinner?"

   "Huangcheng Temple is very unique, but it's really expensive... Or just find a restaurant that has excellent Shanghai cuisine. It's also on Nanjing Road."

   Tomorrow’s action was quickly decided. When James closed the bedroom door, Alice was still lying on the bed, but she was too lazy to move for a while.

"Ok……"

   After half a minute, she let out a long groan|groan: "I'm exhausted..."

As he said, the girl who was rolling on the bed sheet twisted again, her limbs splayed out, and her slender waist was twisted again: "Oh, you can sit in a plane, and a car, all day long. The office chair is done~ my old waist~ oops~ so comfortable~"

  So, when her waist was twisted to the left and right, and she completed a lot of twists, Alice then sat up from the bed and didn't forget to wipe her tears. After the lazy stretch, his eyes became watery.

   But then, she was not in a hurry to wash up like an ordinary girl, but stepped on the wooden floor with socks, first came to the bed, and forgot to pass the slightly chilly night scene outside.

   Well, I'm back to Shanghai again.

   Actually, even in her previous life, Alice had only been to Shanghai once. That was when she just graduated from high school in her previous life, and it was more than twenty years ago when converted into this life in modern times.

   However, although she does not have much affection for the city itself, the so-called "splendid temper of Shanghainese" and other evaluations spread all over the Internet, and it is easy to feel bad. But when she came to this city twice in her life, Alice naturally had an extraordinary mood.

   First of all, there is no doubt that it was born and raised in the United States for more than ten years, and suddenly returned to the heart of a wandering home. This is particularly strong in James. When Alice proposed to go to Shanghai again, he immediately called his grandparents and wanted to ask the old couple if they wanted to go back to the motherland.

So at this moment, looking at the Xuhui District of Shanghai in the night, this area has not yet become an international metropolis in the 21st century, but will become an extremely prosperous city center, and a lot of different emotions are constantly in Alice's heart. Surging.

   Even before landing at Hongqiao Airport, she never thought about this issue carefully, but now looking at the bustling night scene outside, an inevitable fact,

, Is constantly circling in her mind.

   Grandpa and grandma are already old.

   This is a big rock weighing heavily on Alice's heart.

   Just like this trip of the father and daughter, the reason why the grandparents failed to leave in the end was because they were bothered by the wind and cold. However, Shanghai in February is not as warm as Hainan, Guangdong. Without heating, it also has the problem of "unacceptable water and soil". If you come here rashly, there may be something wrong.

   Alice herself was born in 1972. James and Sophie were one in 1942 and the other in 1945. They are both in their early forties. And grandparents, there is no doubt that as the first generation of immigrants to their family in the United States, they are now in their seventies.

   Even if they live as long as Bush, grandparents are nothing more than delaying their deaths until around 2000. Although they are already in their nineties, they are still not what Alice wants to see.

It is difficult for a country’s prosperity and development to rely on individual forces to promote it on a large scale. Although Alice can now enter the Chinese market with large capital to promote the development of the clothing industry, the promotion of a trillion-level gdp ultimately depends on current events. Promoted.

   So, for her whose eyes are always focused on the 21st century, time is actually running out.

If you can’t let your grandparents look at your homeland as the world’s second largest economy, launch twelve sophisticated destroyers for four consecutive years, and quickly realize the formation of aircraft carrier formations and other major events, you will really be blind to your own high-level development. The big head is gone.

   I really want to say that I study technology seriously. Alice knows how efficient she will be. Except for the hardware cost, the difficulty is not much harder than that of compiling the windows operating system. It's just that there is a specialization in the art industry, and life is so wonderful, unless there is a special reason, of course she is not willing to lock herself in a miserable laboratory.

   But if it is to increase the life span of grandparents, grandparents, even James and Sophie, it would be a great motivation.

   So at this time, while looking at the charming night Shanghai scenery outside the window, her brain was activated again.

   "Extending life span mainly lies in repairing genetic defects, which requires the large-scale development of biochemical technology."

   Seemingly elusive technology. In fact, Alice really has some ideas.

   As far as she knows, not long after the London Olympics in the previous life, scientists in the United States fine-tuned a certain worm in the laboratory, the two gene pathways of Caenorhabditis elegans, to increase the lifespan of this animal by five times.

   Five times.

  For humans, that is the difference between one hundred and five hundred years old.

   One hundred and five hundred years old, what kind of concept is this?

   Most of the long-lived people, even if they can live to more than 100 years old, will eventually show their old state around the age of 60, and longevity is only the extension of old age. But if there are scientists who can use genetic pathway adjustments to extend the life span of the entire "human" by five times, that would be a five-fold increase in comparison!

   Sixty-year-old oldness can only be manifested at least three hundred years old!

   Of course, it is true in theory, but it is just a beautiful idea after all. Just like the antimatter reactor, even if sci-fi enthusiasts brag about its strong power, they must first be able to manufacture and preserve antimatter, right?

   It is extremely difficult to manufacture and preserve antimatter. The investment in the construction of any physics laboratory is not a small number, so for this kind of tall research, even if Alice has the brain, it does not cost that much. The act of obediently leading the national researcher's certificate and running the national laboratory to make contributions is not her style.

   But when it comes to studying the genetic pathways of worms, it is much cheaper.

  Even elementary school students know that the genetic differences between different species are not as huge as imagined. Of course, that is for elementary school students in the 21st century.

Judging from the human gene sequencing completed by scientists from six countries in 2001, the number of human genes is only about 260,000 to 40,000. If the median value is taken, there are only about 30,000 genes. The number is really not far from that of other animals. on.

   Flies have 140,000 genes, while roundworms have 20,000. Even the plant Arabidopsis has 250,000 genes.

Compared with mice ~www.readwn.com~, humans only have 300 more genes.

   As for the difference between Said and Gorilla, it is only 2%.

   So the question is: Does the gene that makes the worm's life five-fold also exist in humans?

  Don't say that the probability itself is very high, even if it doesn't-can't it be studied by biochemical experiments?

   Just avoid the "Resident Evil".

   So, it is not difficult for Alice to increase the lifespan of human beings, as long as she is willing to spend her childhood learning computer knowledge and compile windows and routers to make a fortune.

   Well, yes, smart people are often lazy. The benefits of investing in Microsoft and founding Cisco are obvious, and studying the mysterious virus in Caesar's body is obviously not a priority, so Alice threw her Eaton mentor into a pit.

   But if it is for the purpose of increasing the longevity of grandparents, to study the worm genes, the motivation is "leveraged".

   "Well, there seems to be something to spend again."

   So, after spending a long time in front of the window, Alice finally came to this conclusion: "But I have to wait to talk about it. I still have a big business in Shenzhen waiting."

   After finishing, she jumped on her legs and jumped two meters away from the spot. She turned 180 degrees in the air, and landed face down on the bed sheet. (To be continued.)
