Chapter 435 Life First
Chapter 435 Life First
?
It was easy to understand why their EQ was low. The girls who worked in the special biology research institute were all capable without exception.
In this era where scientific researchers were scarce, it was rare for emotionally intelligent women to dabble in scientific research.
"Alright, there will be many things that I need to trouble you with in the future, Comrade Wu."
Once Wu Mo understood the situation, he went to his dormitory to prepare for work.
Although Wu Mo was gone, the discussion about him continued.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Sister Fei to fail the moment she made her move!"
Sister Fei was the chief researcher from earlier.
"You're mocking me? Didn't you all fail too?"
"Sigh, I didn't expect Chief Engineer Wu to be so handsome. A man like him is so mature and capable!"
"He's too handsome, and he's also a soldier who makes people feel safe. On top of that, he's a world-renowned scientist, the chief judge of the Wu Prize, and the winner of the Medal of the Century!"
"Sigh, I'm just too stupid. I didn't even speak clearly. I can't compare to my sisters."
"Sob, sob, sob. Chief Engineer Wu ignored me!"
The girls had all kinds of reactions.
Wu Mo did not know about this because he was busy with his project.
At present, there were only two people in the laboratory—one was Wu Mo, and the other was Xu Wanqing.
Xu Wanqing was talented in the field of scientific research. However, now that Wu Mo had suddenly switched to the field of biology, she lost her edge a little and had to take on the role of an assistant.
"We have to come up with a name for this project.
"You can't call it the Human Life Extension Potion.
"The significance of this project is no less than the Imperial Dragon Device and the Stairway to Heaven Device. We have to give it a grand name."
Wu Mo was quite experienced in naming, and he had named projects more than once.
"The Human Life Extension Potion will be popular because it has the magical effect of prolonging life.
"Since ancient times, longevity has been the ultimate pursuit of mankind, while the ancients called it immortality."
"Perhaps we can start with the word, 'immortality'—"
"Long Life is a good name," Xu Wanqing suddenly interjected.
Wu Mo frowned. Although it was an appropriate name, it did not sound good enough.
He could not possibly call it the Ageless Medicine, right?
It would sound awkward when people read it, and it was not aesthetically pleasing either.
"Let's call it Life First.
"It's a divine medicine that can extend life after all!"
The meaning was profound, and it gave off a strong sense of history. He could also understand the use of the medicine as soon as he heard it.
So, Wu Mo quickly decided on the name.
"Alright, let's get to work!"
While he took out the materials and got ready to start studying, Wu Mo suddenly saw Xu Wanqing sitting down in a rather strange position.
Well, it was not strange, but it was out of place for her personality.
"What's wrong? Why are you sitting in the chair like a duck?"
Xu Wanqing sighed. "It's nothing. I just want to learn biology from you. I'm not used to just being an assistant."
Wu Mo pondered for a moment.
Xu Wanqing had taken the initiative to become an assistant to learn new things.
If she was only allowed to work as an assistant, it would go against her original intention.
"Of course, you can learn with me."
Xu Wanqing nodded and smiled. Then, she stood up and began to study the basics of biological science.
...
He was now a year older, but he did not care.
So what if he was older? Once Life First was released, even if he aged further, his physical fitness would revert to the way it was, or he would age backward by 10 years.
More importantly, this research could help close friends and relatives fight aging and prolong youth.
The Life First Project was progressing in an orderly manner, but Wu Mo knew that it could not be done overnight.
Besides, this was destined to become the focus of China's research for a long time to come.
Even though Wu Mo was powerful enough to create Life First in a short period of time, he would be caught in the problem that the leader had mentioned: With China's current scientific technology, it could not handle Wu Mo's advanced knowledge.
Thus, Wu Mo decided to change his strategy.
He wanted to be a leader and a decision-maker who would provide timely guidance when the project faced a blockage.
This way, he could accelerate the project's progress, and the research force would be able to fully absorb all the knowledge.
As he looked through the system's information, Wu Mo discovered another magical feature of the potion: While it strengthened one's physique, it could actually cure cancer.
Although not all diseases could be cured, such as lung cancer, this additional effect still filled Wu Mo with interest.
"The system did not elaborate on this function. Why can it cure cancer?" Wu Mo looked into the reason behind it.
After more than 10 days of exploration, Wu Mo finally came to a conclusion.
"The system has already mentioned that when using Life First, you need to enter the nourishment cabin quickly. The drug will reconstruct the user's body during this period.
"The hematopoietic system will be restored to the state of infancy. Countless multi-functional cells will emerge and repair aging organs. They'll reconstruct the skin and produce factors that promote cell division."
There was a factor in the cell that limited the number of times it could divide. It was called a protein complex. However, cancer cells did not have this factor, so they could divide indefinitely.
This factor would naturally be depleted over time, but the drug could restore the human body's hematopoietic system, thereby replenishing this factor.
With the hematopoietic system restored to its peak and the immune system soaring, even cancer could be easily eliminated.
"Wonderful! The system might not have mentioned this function because its advantage isn't as obvious as longevity and rejuvenation."
"That's why it wasn't stated directly."
"Three months have passed. Let's get down to business. We'll continue to study. We must complete the project in the remaining months."
These three months were considered the most intense time in his life. Apart from learning basic knowledge, he also had to pay attention to the prerequisite techniques in the system. The strain on his brain was almost at its highest. It was the same for Xu Wanqing.
...
Time passed quickly, and three months flew in the blink of an eye.
In the first month, Wu Mo had completed studying the basics, and he was no different from a PhD student.
In the second month, he mastered the system's advanced pharmaceutical technology.
It was 10 years ahead of the world, so it would take 20 years for the world to catch up. However, Wu Mo was already at the advanced stage.
In the third month, Wu Mo learned the reactivation theory of the hematopoietic system and conducted his first clinical trial.
The clinical trial was not targeted at humans but different animals. They had one thing in common, which was that they were all old.
Wu Mo used the theory of activating the hematopoietic system and combined it with advanced pharmaceutical technology to develop an animal version of the hematopoietic system activation drug.
When the drug was applied to animals, most of the animals regained their vitality, but the lifespan extension was not significant.
Due to the recovery of the blood circulation system, their bodies were healthier, but their lifespans were only extended by two months.
