Strengthening from the Genetic Level
However, high technology is not always reliable.
In case of problems, at that time, a body that is strong enough can actually solve many problems in many cases!
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Cheng Hao’s eyes. If it really is what he imagined, then this fungus is as meaningful to human beings as the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion!
With this thing, maybe the lifespan of human beings will be greatly improved!
Two hundred years old? Or three hundred? Or is it five hundred years old?
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao’s eyes were slightly excited.
In fact, since the development of controllable nuclear fusion, Cheng Hao has thought about increasing lifespan in his mind.
It’s just that, at that time, Cheng Hao still had a lot to do, and he hadn’t systematically started studying biology.
So, I can only find a time that is not too busy and start learning from scratch.
But later, many things delayed his study plan!
Regarding the matter of increasing life expectancy and the matter of studying biology, it has been delayed.
Until not long ago!
The matter of the alien bacteria made Cheng Hao extremely excited at that time.
This thing is not ordinary!
Something that can increase muscle strength! And it’s not the kind of improvement method that will cause great damage to the body, but the overall improvement.
Including the strength of muscles, bones, and internal organs, all-round improvement!
Academician Zhang actually knows very well that the improvement of this kind of thing is basically equivalent to increasing the strength of life for human beings!
Lifespan will increase accordingly!
A light flashed in Cheng Hao’s eyes.
“Continue to carry out the control group experiment. How is the research on the researcher who is infected with the fungus in the key laboratory going?”
Cheng Hao asked Xiao u.
“The current research is progressing fairly smoothly. After analyzing many samples, we have discovered some changes at the genetic level. Whether these fungi have changed at the genetic level, people begin to have the ability to improve.”
Sure enough! Gene!
Hearing Xiao u’s words, Cheng Hao’s face was slightly serious.
In fact, the more books on biology he read, the more Cheng Hao understood that human beings are ignorant at the genetic level. The human gene project only started in 1990, and the sequencing of human genes was just completed in 2001!
This means that human beings’ understanding of their own genes has just begun!
There are more than 20,000 genes in the human genome, the exact number is still unclear, and the coding region only accounts for about 2% of the entire genome sequence. Humans are still not very clear about the functions of most of the genes, let alone the involved A single gene may encode multiple proteins.
A protein may perform multiple functions, plus the interaction between different proteins, and various RNAs. This is just the basic situation of each cell. How many cells are there in the human body and how many tissues are composed of cells? There are too many things that are not clear about how to develop in coordination with each other.
Many things are blind spots of human beings.
Therefore, the blind spot in front of human beings is a whole, and various situations interact with each other.
Human beings are also extremely cautious about genes, not only because there are many things involved in it, besides ethics, but also because human beings don’t know enough about genes.
If a certain gene in it is randomly moved, no one knows whether it will affect the overall genes, and what kind of impact it will have.
Then will this influence be inherited, will it start to circulate in the overall gene pool of human beings? ?
No one dares to mess around with this kind of thing that affects the entire human race, and no one dares to completely ignore this risk.
Is this alien fungus changed genetically, is it a good thing or a bad thing for human beings?
Cheng Hao can’t tell either!
A sigh flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he had already guessed in his mind that this fungus has been genetically encoded with a high probability, and then genetic enhancement and genetic encoding will be carried out on mammalian creatures.
It can be seen that this alien civilization should have mastered mature genetic technology!
A thoughtful expression appeared in Cheng Hao’s eyes.
At least, the understanding of genes far exceeds that of humans.
Can such gene-edited alien fungi really be used on humans? ?
A hint of hesitation appeared in Cheng Hao’s eyes.
If this thing is exposed, it will definitely attract a lot of people’s opposition, and even many scientists will also oppose this thing.
Because this is equivalent to a released devil, no one knows what will happen!
Very likely, it will have a devastating blow to the entire human race!
These, Cheng Hao’s right and wrongVery clear!
If humans really object, Cheng Hao pondered for a while, then let this technology stay in the laboratory forever!
But at the moment, I don’t know much about this technology!
“By the way, have you found the root cause of the researcher’s deep sleep?”
“At present, I have locked the main gene fragments. Maybe these gene fragments conflicted, which caused the researcher to fall asleep!”
Cheng Hao nodded.
This is quite possible. After all, human genes are different from those of aliens in many ways. After dissecting this point, it has actually been concluded.
The occurrence of some genetic conflicts is almost an inevitable result.
After all, if Cheng Hao’s deduction is correct, then this fungus itself was developed to suit the physique of aliens.
It’s even possible that this is a fungus developed to fit such an alien!
After all, everyone’s physique is different. This kind of fungus may not be a panacea!
It’s normal to make some adjustments according to each person’s differences.
This can also explain why the researcher fell into a deep sleep!
“Okay! Track these few gene fragments and conduct gene map analysis!”
Cheng Hao said to Xiao u.
“It’s the master!”
Xiao u is responsible for conducting experiments, and Cheng Hao, of course, is responsible for learning biology knowledge. During this period of time, he has almost made up most of the biology-related directions.
Viewed countless papers related to genetics.
Right now, he has a certain understanding of genes.
For biology, although it is not particularly in-depth, but with his learning ability, coupled with his original level of biology!
So, now he can barely be regarded as an expert in biology!
However, these are not enough!
Cheng Hao looked at the biology-related books beside him…
