"How do I extend my lifespan? How do I achieve immortality? "
Lu Zhiyu sat in the yard, basking in the sun. He felt that no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to withstand the passage of time. Once his lifespan was up, he would die. Although he could add talents to his genes, he could not extend the limits of his lifespan. Or rather, it was not just the limits of his genes that limited his lifespan. The most common cause of human death was organ failure.
To overcome the limitations of one's lifespan, organ failure was the first step. Then, there were problems with cell lifespan and metabolism. To achieve immortality, there were many more ways to go!
Although Lu Zhiyu already had a sub-brain, it only focused on calculating abilities. Lu Zhiyu had to give it a direction and a plan in order for it to calculate, expand, and provide assistance. Lu Zhiyu himself was confused, so the sub-brain couldn't help him.
Lu Zhiyu had done some research. In human DNA, there was a gene called FOXO3A, which could regulate a human's lifespan. This mutated gene could affect and extend a human's lifespan. This gene was also known as the longevity gene. However, it could only extend a human's lifespan to a reasonable limit, which was more than a hundred years. However, there was also a limit. Every species had a gene that controlled their lifespan.
In addition, Lu Zhiyu had observed human genes and found that there were dozens of gene segments that could regulate a human's lifespan. Each gene was controlled in a different direction, but all of them had their limits. They could only maintain a human's lifespan within a normal range. This kind of longevity might be a dream for ordinary people, but it was meaningless for Lu Zhiyu.
"Eh? How did the queen bug live for hundreds or even thousands of years? "
Lu Zhiyu began to think about how the queen bug had extended her lifespan. Originally, it was only about twenty years, but now, it was so long that Lu Zhiyu could not see the end of it. The queen bug that Lu Zhiyu had seen before had lived for more than seven hundred years. If it had not been for the fact that they had died in battle, their lifespan would have been much longer.
This would extend the limit of the original lifespan by dozens or even hundreds of times. This was not just within the range of a normal lifespan, but a qualitative change. It was a true means of immortality. Lu Zhiyu thought about how terrifying the insect race was. Their genetic research was far beyond his imagination.
"How did they do it? I remember now! Sub-brain, gather all the observations of the queen bug!"
"It's out!"
"The structure of the queen bug's genome is like this. There doesn't seem to be a gene segment that controls lifespan!"
In Lu Zhiyu's mind, the sub-brain immediately recalled all the memories of the insect queen that it had observed. Then, it opened its eyes and said, "The important thing is not to prolong life, but to repair and maintain, as well as to modify the nature of genes!"
Lu Zhiyu's memory began to recover bit by bit. The sub-brain in his mind flipped through all the information, carefully reviewing it. Finally, Lu Zhiyu found what he was looking for in the huge amount of information.
"That's right. No matter how much you extend it, the lifespan of a gene has a limit. Only by constantly repairing and maintaining the gene in an active state can you maintain your youthfulness and allow the machine that is the body to run for a long time. Otherwise, even if the gene has a long lifespan, the body's organs will gradually deteriorate, and death will still be inevitable. Only by constantly repairing and maintaining the gene can one maintain their youthfulness and lifespan!"
This was the first step taken by the insect race civilization. It extended the life of the queen bug. However, the queen bug still understood that this kind of immortality was still an illusion. No matter how carefully you repaired and maintained a machine, it would eventually reach its limit. Therefore, the queen bug's solution to this problem was to change the nature of the gene.
That's right, if the body was compared to a machine, and the original material used to build this machine was wood that was easily decayed, then he would find a way to replace it with iron, steel, or alloy materials. Essentially, no matter how long it went through, no matter how harsh the environment, it would not decay.
However, these insects had only started their first experiment. Although Lu Zhiyu found some traces of this from their genes, he knew that they had not taken the first step. He was still far from reaching this goal.
What Lu Zhiyu could currently do was to repair and maintain the state of his genes, which was enough to extend his lifespan to more than a thousand years. This was more than enough. However, Lu Zhiyu only had this idea. It would probably take a long time before he could achieve his goal. But now that he had a direction and a goal, time was like a toy to Lu Zhiyu!
Recently, Lu Zhiyu and Li Wei were in a very intimate relationship. The two of them had entered a stage of passion. Recently, Li Wei had the intention to move in with Lu Zhiyu's family. This was exactly what Lu Zhiyu wanted. Lu Zhiyu had basically hidden all his little secrets in the dimensional castle, so Li Wei would not be able to find them.
Lu Zhiyu had been in a good mood recently, eating and drinking to his heart's content. He wished that Li Wei would move in with him. However, this was not something that could be done in a short period of time. If Li Wei wanted to move in, they would have to move, and things would be troublesome. Moreover, Lu Zhiyu's place was quite far from the hospital, and Li Wei did not have a driver's license. If she wanted to move in, Lu Zhiyu would have to drive her back and forth every day.
That day, Lu Zhiyu was busy in the pet shop, taking care of the cats and dogs, bathing them and grooming their hair. Lu Zhiyu quite liked these little animals, or rather, he liked the life aura they exuded. Looking at each living creature, Lu Zhiyu always felt that life was a miracle. The more he studied genetics and biology, the more deeply he felt that this feeling came from the bottom of his heart.
However, recently, the little witch, Xia Fan, had been coming to Lu Zhiyu's shop to harass him. Every time she came, he would be in a mess. The cats and dogs in Lu Zhiyu's shop had suffered a lot from Xia Fan's perverted hands. This girl often behaved rudely towards Lu Zhiyu in front of Xiao Le, which made Lu Zhiyu feel a little helpless. However, Lu Zhiyu did not feel any resentment or anger towards her. Instead, he found it quite enjoyable. This made Lu Zhiyu feel as if he was born to be a scumbag!
At noon, a car stopped in front of Lu Zhiyu's shop. A bespectacled man in a suit alighted from the car. As soon as he entered the shop, he looked around and found Lu Zhiyu. "Old Lu, Old Lu, hurry up and get in the car!"
"Wang Yi? Why are you here today? " It was Wang Yi, Lu Zhiyu's elementary school classmate. He worked at the research institute and had even asked him to buy equipment for him!
