"When flying, the bat's heart rate can reach more than 1,000 beats per minute," Zheng Ren said. "Usually, it's about 100-200 beats per minute. Logically speaking, the lifespan of bats may be shorter than that of rats. It can even be said that this kind of creature should have gone extinct long ago, "Zheng Ren suddenly said seriously.
"You're too ruthless. If bats go extinct, I think Christian will go crazy," Su Yun said with a smile.
"But the lifespan of bats is far beyond my imagination. After careful research, there are not many relevant documents. I found that if it weren't for the existence of a fungal infection like white-nose syndrome, bats would have already ruled the world," Zheng Ren said.
"Ruling the world isn't that easy. There are no natural enemies of humans, but bats have their own natural enemies. Even if it's known, it doesn't exist. Just like humans, sooner or later, they will play themselves to death. "
"Yes, you're right. The argument just now was also very good. Bats have a strong anti-virus ability, but their anti-bacterial ability is very weak, especially against fungi, "Zheng Ren said." Unfortunately, we don't have a laboratory, so there's no way to find out what's going on. "
"You're afraid …"
"I'm afraid that Christian will improve the living conditions of bats and create a super bat that is not afraid of viruses and bacteria …"
"Don't talk nonsense. If that's the case, would Christian have already ascended to heaven?!" Su Yun said disdainfully.
"I'm just saying. Don't argue." Zheng Ren smiled and said, "That's how it is. At least I've found the answer to what I'm most concerned about."
"Is it what Christian said just now? Are you sure it's not what the Bruch family wants? "Su Yun asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the current research results are only beneficial to humans. From the process of gene repair and change in bats, we can find a way to stop gene reverse transcription and open the door to symptomatic treatment of tumors, "Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.
"Boss, do you have any basis for this?"
"No basis, just a guess. But Christian's expression just now tells me that my guess might be correct, "Zheng Ren continued without waiting for Su Yun to say anything.
Without waiting for Su Yun to say anything, Zheng Ren continued, "The human cell divides about 50 to 100 times. Every time the chromosome replicates, a small part of the telomere is lost. Under normal circumstances, the expression of the gene that makes telomeres is suppressed.
"However, tumor cells don't have this restriction."
"What are you trying to say?" Su Yun could not keep up with his boss's train of thought. After all, he had not prepared for this kind of homework before.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, bats underwent a genetic mutation that allowed their chromosomes to replicate far more than other mammals. In other words, their ability to repair their bodies is very strong, but there is no such thing as an unlimited tumor," Zheng Ren said. "In mammals, this is a very bug-like existence. It is also of great significance to humans. "
"…" Su Yun was stunned, then reacted and said, "You mean to find out where the changes are through the study of the mutation of the bat genes, and reverse the thinking, repair the genes of the tumor cells, so that they become normal cells?!"
"Yes, but looking at the research results of Berta's laboratory, it doesn't seem to be that far. They're still at the stage of repairing the retrovirus," Zheng Ren said.
"I'm sorry about your choice of words. You actually said that Berta's black technology is useless," Su Yun said in disdain. It was just that this matter was too shocking, causing his tone of disdain to fade a lot.
"I didn't say that it's useless. You're confusing the topic. This is a bad habit of yours. You have to argue at any time, anywhere," Zheng Ren said very seriously. "If we can perfectly replicate or study the genetic mutation of bats, the lifespan of humans may reach more than 500 years."
"Boss, that's Pandora's Box. It's better not to open it," Su Yun said. "If there are more and more people, it will only cause war."
"There are so many areas waiting for us to explore in the sea of stars," Zheng Ren said. "After extending life, there are many things to do. It doesn't have to be self-destruction."
"If humans are tumor cells …"
"I especially don't like this analogy. Are you still going to talk about the entropy of the entire universe? Don't think so much. Think about how to cure Little Stone's illness, "Zheng Ren said." I'm more confident in the research results of Berta's laboratory now. "
"The problem is whether Christian will invest a lot of money in this," Su Yun said.
"Have you seen Old Foley? This is a high-end private hospital and also the most cutting-edge research center. I even suspect that they've dug who knows how many kilometers underground to do dangerous research work. "
"And then?"
"I told Christian that I know the direction of their research and expressed my intentions. As long as he still has a trace of rationality, he will continue to research. If he can make a breakthrough, he will have more financial support and also gain my friendship. "Zheng Ren was seriously telling a 'joke'.
"I'm very sorry about the last sentence you said," Su Yun said. "I can tell you clearly that you've become arrogant."
Zheng Ren smiled but did not say anything.
After chatting with Christian for a while, he was really full of confidence. Many of his previous speculations had come true. The Bruch family might not be researching the part of the bat gene that was not afraid of ultraviolet rays, but how to treat white-nose syndrome.
Coincidentally, they found the genetic mutation of bats from countless years ago that could be used to treat cancer. All of this seemed a little coincidental, but Zheng Ren believed that it was inevitable.
Su Yun took his phone and began to search for white-nose syndrome. After he saw a related report and a photo, he said in surprise, "Boss! This is not a f * cking fungal infection. This is frost magic! "
"Don't play games too much or don't bring the settings in the game to reality," Zheng Ren said lightly.
Su Yun did not seem to notice the words in his boss's words that made him uncomfortable. Looking at the bat with white-nose syndrome, Su Yun was speechless.
No wonder bats had extremely powerful genes but could not extend their lifespan. White-nose syndrome had appeared for many years and had always suppressed the number of bats after the mutation. It could even cause the death of entire groups of bats.
It looked like it was covered in frost. It was really a Frost spell.
Su Yun's mind began to become active, the black hair on his forehead moving without wind. Zheng Ren pondered Christian's expression and micro-expressions, judging what Berta's laboratory could possibly do.
