Chapter 713 Technology and Human Peace(1/2)

The transport ship is on the sky.

Li Renzhe and other lunar workers also flew towards space, and they will land on the moon in twenty-three hours.

Seeing the transport ship turning into a small black dot in the sky, Zhao Yi felt very deeply. It was not for this mission or Li Renzhe, but because of the change he had brought was too great.

The current technology is completely different from the previous life. All the changes can be said to be brought by ourselves.

This made Zhao Yi feel quite accomplished.

On the way back, he thought of the moon base plan and Li Renzhe who went to the moon, and he also felt a little funny. Li Renzhe was indeed very interesting. He was probably the first among all workers who went to the moon. In fact, the risk of working on the moon base is not high, or it can be said that it is very small.

The moon base plan was initially risky, because it was originally built from scratch, and there was no experience at all.

It's different now.

The moon base has already reached a certain scale, and transport ships and other spacecraft have traveled back and forth to the moon many times, and their experience can be said to be very rich.

In addition, the moon base has been strengthening its safety, including several temporary relief compartments in the living and working areas, and an emergency spacecraft is also docked. The emergency spacecraft has been inputted with intelligent commands. As long as you go in and turn on and consecrate, it can be automatically started. After providing a closed oxygen environment, it will be automatically started and quickly returned to the earth.

Spacesuits are also constantly upgrading.

Nowadays, spacesuits have become much lighter and are divided into several types, including ordinary spacesuits and spacesuits customized to facilitate various work. Each spacesuit has very good safety, can resist various harsh environments, and the material strength is also very high. Even if it is placed in a high temperature of several hundred degrees, it can ensure that the temperature inside is not affected.

etc.

All of these can ensure the safety of lunar workers.

In fact, the biggest risk of working on the moon comes from the workers themselves, either the diseases caused by their physical inadequacy, or the safety risks brought by human operational errors. The former has no choice but to avoid it.

Before landing on the moon, every lunar workers will receive very strict safety training. They need to know what kind of operations they must not do. As long as they avoid "never feasible" operations, other small mistakes cannot bring direct life danger.

With so many security guarantees, lunar workers are still relatively safe.

Of course.

No one can guarantee that the moon's environment is safe. No matter how much security there is, it is impossible to be sure that no accident will happen.

Therefore, every lunar worker will have high insurance. If you have life problems, you can not only get compensation from Yixing Company or the Space Administration, but also get large insurance compensation.

For example, Li Renzhe.

If Li Renzhe went to the moon and couldn't come back, Yixing Company would pay about 6 million yuan, and he would still have 10 million yuan in life safety insurance. Yanhua University would pay about 600,000 yuan, and the insurance company would pay 10 million yuan, which would add up to 16.6 million yuan.

So, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Huang Wenqian and his two children received large amounts of compensation, and his parents could also receive large amounts of compensation, and the money could easily solve many problems.

For example, his parents are only fifty years old and have received tens of millions of dollars, and may consider having a second child.

Ahem!

Zhao Yi stopped and thought quickly, considering the affairs of Tie Brother, but he was really a bit lacking in morality.

"Bless him!"

He went to Yanhua University with his blessing idea, went around the laboratory of the Medical Science Center, and learned about the latest progress in the research.

The research progress in the laboratory is still considerable. Research on cell lifespan has locked in four proteins and two enzymes, and determined that the six substances are directly related to the life cycle of the cell.

Ai Lixin said the latest progress, "We have determined through a series of experiments that four proteins and two enzymes are directly related to the life cycle of cells."

"We studied six mammals, including mice, bats and rabbits. After receiving injections of several substances, their bodies will become younger."

"The most obvious one is the guinea pig."

"The life cycle of the guinea pig is relatively short. We did several repeated experiments and came to the same conclusion."

"These four proteins and two enzymes can be used to effectively prevent aging, and a large part of the reason they work is because they can effectively increase cell activity, thereby increasing cell lifespan and delaying cell division time."

Finally, what we are talking about is the problem of cell division. The number of divisions in mammalian cells has an upper limit. It can delay the time of cell division and prolong the life of cells, thereby prolonging life.

Ai Lixin continued, "However, these proteins and enzymes can only be extracted in laboratory and cannot be produced on a large scale, so we have not had much material, and the experimental progress has also been affected."

Zhao Yi nodded understandingly, "It doesn't matter. You can do research slowly, and the progress is already very good. At this stage of research, you can publish the results, but be careful not to cause public opinion problems."

"You must pay attention to this," said Ai Lixin.

Everyone will have issues related to life expectancy, and most people will also hope to live longer. Research on life extension has always been the focus. The progress of the laboratory can reach this point, which includes many economic benefits.

For example, some wealthy people may wish to inject several proteins and enzymes that prolong life.

This is certainly going to happen.

However, it is not easy to extract the specified proteins and enzymes.

Ai Lixin talked about this issue, "We originally wanted to extract more, but it was difficult because the materials were seriously insufficient."

"General mammals, including pigs, sheep, cattle, etc., can only be extracted in blood and hematopoietic stem cells, but the content is very small."

"Every time we experiment, we need to use a lot of blood, and the process is very responsible and consume a lot of money."

"Until now, the total amount we extracted is probably only enough for one person to take two injections, and the effect may not be obvious."

This is the problem.

The several enzymes and proteins studied must have an effect on life prolongation, but because several are very rare proteins and enzymes, four of which are unstable and cannot be preserved for a long time, it is very, very difficult to extract and inject them into humans.

Of course, it can also be done.

For example, setting up a special laboratory to allow more than a dozen top biology experts to help a person extract relevant enzymes and proteins, and perhaps it can be injected once a month.

But the cost is too high.

It’s not that it keeps the laboratories expensive, but that the materials consumed in the extraction process. You should know that the laboratory has invested more than 100 million yuan in this project, and it is still several top biological experts and more than 20 other researchers participated, so that the current results have been achieved.

Ordinary rich people will definitely not be able to afford such high investment.

In addition, because there is no long-term experiment, it is difficult to say that long-term injection of several proteins and enzymes can really achieve direct life extension.

Perhaps, rejuvenating the body's functions is only temporary, just like a blood exchange experiment. The temporary effect seems to be very good. Whether it can really prolong life depends on decades later, and many people conduct experiments to get definite results.

"No matter it is protein, enzyme, or anything else, it is just a substance in the living body. Even if it has a life-long effect, it will not be too great."

"The truly effective means should be studied from a genetic perspective."

Zhao Yi was thinking.

It's very difficult to have a genetic perspective.

Although the research also has a gene laboratory and has hired the world's top gene experts, research on life extension can only be carried out in conjunction with the main research, rather than researching what can be done alone.

Genes are still too mysterious, and biotechnology has very little means to control genes.

The human body is very, very complex. It is too difficult to make progress in life prolongation research from a genetic perspective.

After caring about the work in the laboratory, Zhao Yi rested at home for a few days before returning to the Z wave experimental base. Every project of the Z wave experimental base is very, very important, and he needs to participate in it himself.

When he went back, he heard many people discussing a news-

"This year, Nobel will present awards in China? Isn't it a joke?" a researcher said exaggeratedly.

Others also said, "The news from the Nobel Committee?"

"no."

The person who told the news was Edward Weiteng, who grinned and was gossiping, "I know the people from the Nobel Committee, and they called to speak. They have made a decision internally and have not made it public yet, because they have to contact the country before they can make sure it."

"In addition, there is also interesting news that some people nominated Zhang as a Nobel Physicist candidate."

"open?"

"Zhang Qican?"

"Really or not?"

"Of course it's true." Edward Weiteng replied with a smile, and then he noticed Zhao Yi and shouted, "Zhao Yi, you are back!"

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yi walked over and asked.

"Nobel."

Edward Witten said, "The Nobel Committee is preparing to change the awards venue this year. They have chosen the country, to be precise, the capital."

"Why?"

"Of course it's to increase influence." Edward Witten said a little disdainfully, "They all know that their influence is very small, especially the Physics Award and the Medicine Award. These are the two bonuses they have taken. As a result, no one in China has won in recent years."

"The whole world knows that physics in China is the most advanced and has the most achievements. As a result, the physics award will be awarded to the guy who studies neutrinos. Isn't this ridiculous? Even foreign countries do not recognize it."

Others also said, "Yes, our physics is the most cutting-edge, and there have never been any winners. I have read a lot of discussions about the Nobel Prize in Physics abroad, saying that they did this on purpose, but it also greatly reduced the influence of the award."

"This result is something that foreign countries do not recognize."

"This time the Nobel Committee is quite smart and knows that it should enhance its influence, so I just came to the country to present awards. Is it planning to award physicists to Academician Zhao?"

"no."

Edward Witten continued, "They directly ruled out Zhao Yi's name because Zhao Yi has announced that he will no longer accept any scientific awards. However, I heard a very interesting thing, which is related to the awards."

"What?"

"It's the Peace Prize!"

"Peace Prize?"
