Chapter 165 The door and key to eternal life!
“HeLa cells?”
“…”
“Isn’t this a cancer cell?”
"John, don't tell me that we humans have to coexist with cancer cells in order to achieve eternal life..." Chen Jue had heard of HeLa cells before. After all, his mother died young due to cancer, so he made a special effort to learn about this type of disease.
What makes cancer cells different from normal cells is that they have three major characteristics: unlimited proliferation, transformation, and easy metastasis. They can also locally invade surrounding normal tissues and destroy the human circulatory system, lymphatic system, etc.
Nowadays, when people get sick, they are basically afraid of the word "cancer".
As for Linglong, she stared at the projected HeLa cell tissue in silence, her eyes flickering and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Mr. Chen Jue! HeLa cells are indeed cancer cells!"
"But it is not an ordinary cancer cell! Compared with other cancer cells, it proliferates faster and is more infectious. Moreover, its cell line will not age and die, and can divide indefinitely."
"Since the birth of HeLa cells, we humans have cultivated more than 50 million tons of progeny from them, which is equivalent to more than 100 Empire State Buildings!"
"There are countless projects around HeLa cells, including cells, genes, telomerase, vaccines, etc., and there are even as many as five Nobel Prizes based on its creation!"
"It is a truly immortal monument in the history of human cells!" John became more and more excited as he spoke. He tapped the keyboard with both hands, and several data scrolled on the projection, showing the scientific research results related to HeLa cells.
"John, HeLa cells are indeed very special as you said. However, cancer is cancer. Don't tell me that your Hongmou Group has developed a way to control cancer cells? If that were true, you wouldn't have to make any functional drinks. This technology alone would be enough to make you the number one company on the planet." Chen Jue looked at the information on the projector and leaned lazily on the sofa. He wanted to hear what this foreigner was up to.
"Mr. Chen Jue, look at what you said!"
"So far, human technology cannot truly control cancer cells."
"The emergence of HeLa cells has only helped us humans find a shortcut to immortality."
"As for the key to open the door... don't forget, there is also this treasure bestowed by God to us humans!" John smiled and operated the keyboard to enlarge another reduced projection.
The picture shows the tiny meteorite fragments being manipulated by the laboratory researchers. The fragments are emitting dark golden lines, and even when viewed through the screen, one can feel that they contain infinite mysteries.
"key?"
"The innate Qi?" Chen Jue stared at the screen and muttered in his heart.
Linglong remained silent, watching the foreigner John continue to show off his performance.
"Mr. Chen Jue, with your erudition, you must be able to guess that it is a piece of meteorite fragment. But do you know where this meteorite fragment fell from?" John continued to keep the suspense while sitting at his desk.
"..." Chen Jue didn't say anything. He crossed his hands and crossed his legs on the sofa.
In his opinion, although John, the foreigner, was smooth, he loved to show off his superiority too much and lacked the humility and reservedness of the Huazhong people.
Seeing that Chen would not reply, John's old face turned red. He coughed lightly, tapped the keyboard a few times, and the data of several huge meteorite craters taken from overhead were inserted into the projection.
"In the late 1970s, geologist Glenn was conducting oil and accidentally discovered the Chicxulub crater, which shocked the world. Its average diameter is more than 180 kilometers and its depth is more than 3,200 meters. It was formed about 65 million years ago, which is exactly the period when the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods overlap."
"And this period happened to be the time when the dinosaurs, once the dominant biological species on Earth, became extinct!" John introduced while typing quickly on the keyboard. Several illustrations of meteorite impact speculation related to the extinction of dinosaurs were pulled up from the projection.
Chen Jue was slightly stunned when he saw this. The hypothesis that a meteorite impact wiped out the dinosaurs was also popular science knowledge he had seen before. It was considered a cliché and probably everyone had heard of it.
"Mr. Chen Jue, why do you think that dinosaurs, which ruled the earth for 160 million years, did not evolve into highly intelligent creatures ?"
"Why did it take only 50 million years for our human ancestors to stand out from the many life forms on Earth and become the masters of all living things on Earth after the dinosaurs left the stage of history?" John introduced while checking out two time spans.
One is about the birth, rise and extinction of dinosaurs, and the other is about the reproduction process from human ancestors to modern humans.
The two timelines merged, with the marking of the huge crater inserted in the middle. This time, not only did Chen Jue frown slightly, but even Linglong's eyes were flashing with surprise.
These two masters who have formed the elixir are much stronger in intelligence and thinking than ordinary people, and their brains work at an extremely fast speed.
In addition, since they could both sense the innate Qi on the meteorite fragments, they soon figured out the reason.
"tool!"
"Compared to dinosaurs, the only advantage of human ancestors is that they can use tools!" Chen Jue sighed lightly.
"Bingou! Congratulations, Mr. Chen Jue, you got it right!"
“It’s a tool!”
“However, there should have been dinosaurs that knew similar tools. Unfortunately, they were unlucky. They didn’t have the luck to win the lottery and failed to catch up with the good times.” John laughed , as if cheering for the emergence of human ancestors. He tapped the keyboard again, and a sketch of an ape holding a stone tool appeared on the projector again.
However, the stone tool held by the ape-man in this sketch is not an ordinary stone as we traditionally think, but a meteorite covered with dark golden patterns!
According to John's description, the reason why dinosaurs did not evolve into higher intelligent life was because they did not encounter the alien meteorite that caused their extinction in advance.
The reason why human ancestors had the last laugh was that the asteroid impact on the earth caused drastic changes in the earth's environment, driving the overlords of the old era, the dinosaurs, off the stage of history.
The second possibility is that some lucky human ancestor picked up a piece of meteorite and used it as a tool.
The innate Qi emanating from the meteorite fragment tools was constantly and subtly promoting the physical transformation of this human ancestor, transforming its genes, and stimulating the development of its brain, until this change was passed down from generation to generation, giving rise to today's humans.
Moreover, there is also the theory of multiple impacts in the asteroid impact hypothesis, which means that it was not just one asteroid that fell, but a group of asteroids that scattered to various parts of the earth, which gave rise to the ape ancestors of several different human civilization systems.
Such a bold conjecture made Chen Jue and Linglong, two Jindan masters, admire it in their hearts and feel that the research of Hongmou Group is not useless.
However, these data only explain the origin of the meteorite fragments, and cannot prove that it is the key to open the door to eternal life.
Probably because he saw what Chen Jue and the others were thinking , after introducing the comparison of the evolutionary history of dinosaurs and humans, John once again magnified the projection of HeLa cells and continued, "Mr. Chen Jue, the reason why HeLa cells are different from other cancer cells is that they are not ordinary cancer cells. They are cervical cancer that was born in the human mother's uterus."
"According to our Hongmu Group's in-depth research over the years, during pregnancy, the fetus in the uterus of a human mother can also emit energy radiation fluctuations similar to those on meteorite fragments."
"In this way, we know that the appearance of HeLa cells is not a coincidence, but is affected by the radiation fluctuations of the fetus, which in turn opens the switch to its eternal life!"
"That's why I say that HeLa cells are the shortcut to immortality, and the radiation fluctuations emitted by these meteorite fragments are the real key to entering the door!"
