Chapter 296
A week later.
The long battlefield sorting work has finally come to an end.
To Lu Yongchang's surprise, there are quite a lot of good things in the Proxima Centre central computer.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Not to mention anything else, the Hall thruster alone is enough to increase the strength of the human fleet to a higher level.
According to preliminary estimates of zero, the improved Hall thruster is more efficient, enough to enable the maximum navigation speed of the human fleet outside the star system to reach 20% of the speed of light.
This is undoubtedly a great improvement.
Especially for human civilization.
The Proxima galaxy, whose main star is about to be extinguished, is destined to be just a springboard for supplementary materials. They will eventually go to the next resource-rich star system.
As for the goal...
Proxima Centar civilization found a destination for them.
The Ross 154 star system is 8.24 light years away from Proxima Centauri.
The main star Ross 154 has a mass of 17% of the sun and a radius of about 24% of the sun.
Like Proxima Centauri, it is also a red dwarf in the adolescent stage.
According to the exploration of Proxima Centauri civilization, there are three gas giant planets and four solid-state planets in the stellar system of Ross 154.
Although these solid-state planets are not very similar to the Earth, for current humans, it is already the best choice for nearby within ten light years.
Every time I see the extremely detailed exploration data in the database, Lu Yongchang thanks Proxima Cialis from the bottom of his heart.
Thanks to them for their hard work over the centuries of years of hard work.
Otherwise, he still needs to spend a lot of energy to explore the right star system.
"Professor, Academician Mao Zhengzhi has something to come to you."
Zero's voice broke Lu Yongchang's thoughts.
"Hmm?" His eyes moved slightly, "Have the experiment been found?"
"Yes."
Hearing Zero's response, a hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
He immediately untie the electromagnetic adsorption device, stood up from the chair and walked out of the office.
...
[Earth] Biological Main Laboratory.
"Professor, there's a result!"
As soon as the laboratory door was opened, Mao Zhengzhi's excited shouts came into Lu Yongchang's ears.
Lu Yongchang quickly accelerated his pace, quickly walked to Mao Zhengzhi, and threw doubtful eyes at him.
Looking at Lu Yongchang's curious gaze, Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously wanted to keep it a secret.
But thinking about his experience on Proxima Centauri a few days ago, he hurriedly killed the "false thoughts" in his heart.
"Cough!" Mao Zhengzhi cleared his throat and reached out to adjust the results of various experiments. "Professor, there are also parts similar to telomeres in the chromosomes of Proxima Centria civilization."
"Not only are the structures similar, but its role in cell division is also very similar."
"It also ensures the integrity and stability of chromosomes."
Lu Yongchang was not surprised by this.
It can be seen from the genetic data sent by Proxima Centarum civilization that there are many similar parts of the Proxima Centarum human gene and human gene.
About 10%.
Although it seems a lot, in fact, this number is actually ridiculously low.
You should know that the genetic similarity between humans and bananas is more than 50%.
"So, what did you find out from these Proxima Centauri's telomeres?"
As he asked, he picked up the bag-shaped drinking water beside him and took a sip.
"The limit lifespan of Proxima Centauri is about 80 years old."
"Cough cough cough!!" Hearing this, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but coughed suddenly.
After swallowing the remaining water in his mouth, he looked at Mao Zhengzhi beside him in disbelief.
"Are you sure?!"
"The gap between 80 and 639 is a bit big!"
639, is August's lifespan.
Given that he died of genetic weapons, his ultimate lifespan should be much greater than this number.
Even if we don’t talk about individual cases, the average life expectancy of 500 years alone is far greater than the answer given by Mao Zhengzhi.
Mao Zhengzhi shrugged: "I also suspected that I had read it wrong at that time."
"Even, I asked Zero to verify more than ten times."
“But the result is the same.”
Lu Yongchang was in a slightly calmer mood.
As a scientist, after a brief surprise, his first reaction was to think about the reasons behind this phenomenon.
His brain was spinning rapidly.
The brain, which was strengthened day after day, quickly associates a substance with the brain.
"Teleomase?"
Mao Zhengzhi was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Lu Yongchang to grasp the key points so quickly.
"No," he nodded, reaching out to open another document, "I found a substance in their cells."
"It's very similar to telomerase."
"However, this substance exists in every cell of Proxima Centauri."
"They can synthesize and supplement telomeres that wear out during cell division."
Speaking of this, Mao Zhengzhi paused slightly, and a 3D simulation animation began to be played in the holographic projection in front of him.
"Based on the calculation simulation of zero, these Proxima Centauri are under 100 years old and have almost zero telomeres wear."
"That is, the synthesis rate of telomerase is extremely close to the telomere wear rate."
During the projection, the cells divide again and again, and the telomeroid-like substances slowly decrease after the chromosome, but telomerase-like substances quickly synthesize telomeroid-like substances to supplement the worn parts.
"This process will not change until the age of 100." Mao Zhengzhi shrugged, "There are not many experimental samples, and I have a rough estimate."
"This time varies from person to person. Some may be 110 years old, 120 years old, or even 150 years old, and some may be 80 years old or 90 years old. This is also the reason why Proxima Centauri's life span is huge."
"After the critical time point, the telomeres wear rate began to accelerate."
"The synthesis rate of telomerase remains the same."
"So, the telomeres began to shrink until they disappeared."
The 3D animation in the holographic projection stops playing.
Lu Yongchang's face was filled with surprise.
He exhaled a long breath and sighed in a low voice: "Sometimes I have to sigh at the magic of the universe..."
Mao Zhengzhi interrupted his sigh: "The magic is not only that."
"Do you remember the special organ we discovered at that time?"
Lu Yongchang was slightly stunned and instantly reacted: "Are you talking about the organ that specializes in swallowing cancer cells?"
Mao Zhengzhi nodded, his eyes full of envy: "Even with the help of telomeres and telomerase-like enzymes, these cells will still produce a large number of mutations during the continuous division."
"The probability of this kind of mutation will continue to grow as the number of splits increases."
"And that special organ ended the troubles of Proxima Centres."
"They don't have to worry about cell cancer."
