Chapter 109: Mankind Anti-Aging Project

“These are the two projects that have begun development in God’s Forbidden Zone.

“In addition, we’re also working on a project on neural stem cell connection regeneration.”

Chen Chen continued. “This project is to supplement the emergence of human cloning technology. I think everyone must’ve heard of the ‘head transplant’ operation?”

As he spoke, the screen behind Chen Chen displayed news regarding a head transplantation.

“Professor Ren of Harbin Medical University once performed an animal head transplant experiment. He connected a monkey’s head to a different body. In the end, the monkey and its new body shared the same blood circulation, but the spinal cord failed to connect. Thus, the monkey was paralyzed from the neck down.”

After a pause, Chen Chen said, “Although this experiment failed in the end, it was also a success because it proved a successful method of head transplantation — by freezing the subject’s head for a short period, the head can be kept alive throughout the operation. Moreover, this wouldn’t damage the brain. This result was published on SCI.

“Our neural stem cell connection regeneration project is to prepare for this. If there’s a full-body disease in the future that can’t even be treated with cloned organ transplants, wouldn’t it be easier to directly clone the body, then change the head?”

Everyone looked contemplative.

Here, Chen Chen concluded. “‘Age-reversal therapy’ and ‘cloned organ transplantation’, in addition to the ongoing project of ‘neural stem cell connection regeneration’. With all this, we’re sure that we can extend your life by forty or even fifty years!”

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened with fierce desire.

“Of course, this is only a theoretical figure. In fact, there are still two natural enemies that may limit our age, which are cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

“Therefore, to maintain the escape velocity of humanity’s lifespan, we’re also developing the ‘Alzheimer’s reversal treatment’ project and the ‘cancerous cyclin-dependent kinases’ project!”

Chen Chen assumed a stern expression once again. “Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system, characterized by memory impairment, aphasia, executive dysfunction, personality and behavior changes, and so on. The cause is still unknown.

“However, in our organization, there’s a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease!”

After he said this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Assuming that the first two technologies were genuine and effective, they were still within the scope of modern medicine. On the other hand, the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease was truly beyond the scope of modern medicine.

At this point, a few more assistants came in. Each of them was holding a beautifully packaged blue glass bottle that was as thick as a finger. This glass bottle contained about 10ml of a seemingly transparent liquid.

“Everyone can take home a bottle as evidence. This liquid developed by our organization has the ability to accelerate brain activity, inhibit hippocampus and medial temporal lobe atrophy, and eliminate beta-amyloid deposits.”

Chen Chen pointed to these blue vials and said, “The external effect of this is to temporarily increase one’s thinking speed. The average person, upon taking it, will experience significant improvement in their logical thinking. The effect of this is more effective than Ritalin or Modafinil.”

“Is that so?” Many of them took the glass bottle from the assistants’ trays with excitement.

“If you feel assured enough to do so, you can even drink it on the spot to see for yourself.” With that, Chen Chen took the last sealed bottle left on the tray, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured the contents into his mouth without hesitation.

The people present were stunned by Chen Chen’s actions and were tempted to try it out. Nevertheless, on second thought, they gave up on the idea.

When Chen Chen noticed their hesitant manner, his lips curled up in a subtle smile.

The liquid in the glass bottle was a brew produced by dissolving NZT-48 in glucose.

Even so, after being diluted, the NZT content in this syrup was extremely low. Chen Chen had experimented with this in advance. Such a small amount of NZT could only temporarily enhance one’s mental activity. It could not compare to the efficacy of the original drug.

Still, this was already much stronger than the smart drugs on the market.

Even if someone with Alzheimer’s disease took this drug, it would still speed up brain activity for a short time. It would appear as if the disease was under control, so these people would have no choice but to believe in it.

Chen Chen was also not worried that they might try to analyze the drug themselves. After all, the complexity of NZT could not even be replicated by Chen Chen, let alone these people.

“In that case, can we take home a few more vials with us?” Suddenly, an old man from North America asked.

“Sorry, but the production cost of this drug is 1000 USD per milliliter. We’ve only made this much for the time being.” Chen Chen spread his hands in a powerless manner.

His audience did not say much else.

Chen Chen continued explaining, “This is the ‘Alzheimer’s reversal treatment’ project you saw in the invitation letter, which corresponds with the ‘cancerous cyclin-dependent kinases’ project’. Unfortunately, the project relating to cancer cells still hasn’t produced any results at the moment.”

Despite what Chen Chen had said, the people in the room were not going to say anything else. This was because, in this meeting, they had already absorbed so many outrageous facts...

Even putting aside the forthcoming projects, just the ones that were introduced were so tightly linked together. Everyone was left with no choice but to believe that this research center truly did possess technology that surpassed the entire Federation’s...

At this point, no one was even thinking of withdrawing.

Chen Chen concluded. “These projects are just the tip of the iceberg in God’s Forbidden Zone. I can guarantee that no organization in the world has technology as comprehensive as ours. What’s more, these projects are connected in series to form the complete mankind anti-aging project!”

As he spoke, a large screen gradually lit up behind Chen Chen, displaying a data graph.

“The ‘mankind anti-aging project’ is so named because, at a certain point in time, we humans shall extend our lifespans with the help of medical technology that’s been developed to a certain degree. Then, with our extended lives, we’ll develop even more effective medical technology, thus further extending our lives, and so on...

“Just like the concept of escape velocity in astrophysics. Only when the kinetic energy of an object is equal to its gravitational potential energy, will it escape from a celestial body with a mass of m. Similarly, if we refer to the current average lifespan of human beings, the increase in lifespan resulting from the two technologies developed by God’s Forbidden Zone, and the speed by which medical technology is developed is set as X1, and the extended time for human lifespan is set as Y1, then we get:

“During the period of Y1, as long as X1>Y1, we’ll continue to develop more advanced medical technology, X2, to extend our lifespan again by Y2 years, and this will officially enter an infinite cycle!”

In front of an audience who were stunned with mouths agape, Chen Chen grandly opened his arms. “This is the escape velocity of humanity’s lifespan!”
