My Side Job is a Trader

When Yuan Shujun and Zhang Xin talked about this matter, Zhang Xin asked in confusion: "Isn't the energy required for cell division coming from adenosine triphosphate? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

Yuan Shujun said confidently: "Boss, I am also an experienced professor of biology. I have done a lot of experiments. Do you think I can't even figure out adenosine triphosphate?"

Zhang Xin nodded, feeling that his words made sense.

"So, you did discover new substances?"

"It should be. We named it α magical substance, also known as the source of life."

Zhang Xin muttered: "The source of life?"

Yuan Shujun said: "That's right, it is the source of life. As long as you leave this thing, the cells will stop dividing, and as long as you have it, the cells will continue to divide."

"Wait! Are you saying that as long as there is this so-called source of life, cells can continue to divide?"

Yuan Shujun obviously understood Zhang Xin's meaning, so he said: "We have also done experiments, but it is a pity that even if we continuously provide the source of life, although the number of cell divisions increases, they will still collapse without warning. , as if a certain program on the DNA in the cell is triggered, as long as the number of cell divisions is reached, the cell will also collapse."

"Gene lock?"

Zhang Xin couldn't help shouting out, in many science fiction novels, a word that often appears is gene lock.

There are conjectures in it, saying that as long as human beings can break the genetic lock, they are likely to acquire some incredible abilities and become so-called superhumans.

In the past, Zhang Xin just smiled after seeing it, but after listening to Yuan Shujun’s description today, it is reasonable to say that the cells have reached the condition for continuous division. Finally, the cell collapsed for no reason, which means that something must be affecting the cell, and the DNA that is the core of the cell is also very likely to collapse. Once it is confirmed that the DNA has indeed collapsed, then for biology, this It is a great discovery that can cause a sensation all over the world.

Zhang Xin confessed: "How about this, professor, you lead people to continue to study whether the cell death is caused by the collapse of DNA."

Yuan Shujun said: "Of course, I also want to understand the reason."

Then Zhang Xin remembered something, and then explained: "In addition, the professor can arrange for people to conduct further experiments on the so-called source of life, especially whether it can be used in the human body, whether there are any side effects, and how to extract it more conveniently and economically. Once this kind of substance has been studied, I think it should have great commercial value, at least those rich and wealthy people will definitely flock to it, after all, the richer you are, the more you fear death."

Yuan Shujun also understands Zhang Xin's thoughts. After all, Zhang Xin is a private laboratory. If he can produce something that can be commercialized, then the burden on Zhang Xin will be reduced. You must know that although Zhang Xin is not short of money, but There are also a lot of places to spend money, especially the aerospace project, which is purely a money-burning thing. In addition, the matrix has established some new projects, all of which are more expensive.

Now that Zhang Xin has been able to see the commercial value of the research results of Yuan Shujun's team, Zhang Xin can be sure that once the relevant products are put into the market, there will be a big sensation.

Many wealthy people are more than happy to spend money to live a few more years if they can.

However, it has not been tested on the human body, so it is unknown how effective it will be in the human body. This is what Yuan Shujun's team needs to do now.

After inspecting the laboratory, apart from studying Yuan Shujun's experimental data, Zhang Xin seemed to be calm again.

One day, when Li Xueer was not busy, Zhang Xin chatted with her about the big discovery in the laboratory, but Li Xueer asked with great interest: "You said that the substance discovered by Professor Yuan and the others can delay aging?"

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "In theory, it is true. If you use it when the cells in the body are beginning to decline, it is very likely that the cells will become active again, and it will be reflected on the outside, which will make people maintain a youthful appearance. "

Seeing Li Xueer staring at him with glowing eyes, Zhang Xin hurriedly said: "Don't look at me like that, you must know that this thing is still in the experimental stage, at least it needs to be clinically tested, and it will not cause any serious problems after confirmation. It can only be put into production if it has serious side effects, and now you don’t even want to use it, and…”

Li Xueer was a little disappointed, but when she heard that there might be a turning point later, she hurriedly asked, "And what?"

Zhang Xin looked at Li Xue'er, and said without a word: "And you don't need this thing at all to maintain your youthful appearance."

Li Xueer said: "Why? Don't you know how attractive it is for a woman to maintain a youthful appearance? If a woman knows that there is such a magical thing, no matter how high the price is, she will try her best to buy it .”

Zhang Xin said: "I know how much you women value your appearance, but I don't think you may need it. Haven't you paid attention to your appearance?"

Li Xueer asked curiously: "What's wrong with me? Am I getting old? But it's okay, the flesh on my stomach has long since disappeared. Compared with before, my whole body should not be much different except for some special places. Bar?"

Zhang Xin said: "Well, maybe you have become accustomed to it. In fact, your appearance has hardly changed in the past few years. It stands to reason that you should become more mature as you grow older, but you are almost the same as before you gave birth. , I haven’t noticed it in the past few years, and when you are over thirty, you will probably notice the abnormality.”

Li Xueer suddenly stared at Zhang Xin for a while, and said, "My husband, if you don't tell me, I will almost ignore it. I find that you haven't changed much in the past two years. You must know that you are already thirty. According to the growth of a normal person , won't a man become more mature after thirty?"

Zhang Xin looked at Xu Meihong and Liu Hua and saw that they were busy with their own affairs, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "I have already discovered this, but I have already made some guesses, it is very likely that The reason for our cultivation is, after all, in myths and novels, most of those who can practice can maintain their youthful appearance."

After listening to Zhang Xin's analysis, Li Xueer knew that she might already have the ability to maintain her appearance, and her desire for potions that could maintain youth was no longer so high.

After all, taking medicine and injections is an external force, and only through self-cultivation can the youthful appearance be maintained without hidden dangers.

However, because Li Xueer is still young and is still at the peak of her life, Li Xueer is not sure whether she has maintained her appearance because of her practice, or whether her appearance is still at her peak because of her youth. This can only be determined after a few years, but Zhang Xin's appearance has indeed not changed much in the past two years, so Li Xueer is still looking forward to it.
