Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Ten years of research is already considered a relatively long research project for most researchers.

In particular, these ten years have only been used to complete the initial stage of theoretical work for this research project.

In ten years, many things have changed.

For example, Mo Dao went from 46 years old in 1940 to 56 years old in 50 years.

Almost from the time when I was still in my prime in this life, I started to enter old age.

In addition, the entire world is also different from other lives because of some of Mo Dao's previous research results.

When cancer, a terminal disease, has been basically eradicated from human society,

According to the number of people who died from cancer every year before 03 was born,

This is equivalent to millions more people surviving in China every year than in other generations.

Tens of millions more people around the world are alive every year than before the birth of 03.

Perhaps most of these people are ordinary people, living their lives normally.

But it is inevitable, or inevitable, that among these people and their children, there will be people who have an impact on the direction of history.

In other words, the tens of millions of people who survive every year, together, will have a huge impact on the direction of history.

Like Mo Dao’s teacher for several lifetimes, Professor Hong.

The previous lives were all in 27 years, and he died of cancer around 28 years.

In this life, it was not until 1947 that Professor Hong, who was over ninety years old, passed away peacefully at home.

At the same time, the mechanism of cancer has been cracked,

As well as the joint influence of the two major research directions of "letting more people reach their ultimate life span" and "high-quality survival" launched in the academic world.

In 1948,

China’s statistics department announced a blockbuster data.

The average life expectancy of men and women in China has reached 84 and 86.5 years respectively.

Although it seems that there is still a long way to go before Mo Dao's theoretical limit of 130 years of life expectancy.

But in fact, this average life expectancy is reflected in reality, that is, there are many elderly people in their 80s and 90s.

Moreover, life expectancy is likely to further increase in the next ten years.

As a result, the average social age this year has also climbed to 43 years old.

The structure of the population has undergone significant changes.

The fertility rate rebounded for a while after the industrial transformation was completed and the total economic growth reached its first level.

However, as the average age of society increases, it gradually remains at a lower level.

Under certain circumstances, this can be considered to be in line with the laws of nature. As the lifespan of a population increases, the probability of reproduction will inevitably decrease.

For this reason,

The two popular research directions in the field of life sciences are obviously from focusing on allowing more people to reach their ultimate life span, to focusing on ‘high-quality survival’, or research that improves the time period of people’s youth and middle age.

At the same time, due to the situation of the entire society, a group of sociologists and thinkers were quarreling for a while.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a happy trouble. Like Kerner, he had no chance to think about the problem of too many elderly people.

Within China and even around the world,

No one would blame Mo Dao for this matter.

After all, everyone is in fact a beneficiary.

…

But there's also more that hasn't changed.

For example, the research itself on the human hibernation project,

No matter how busy it is outside, this research continues.

In addition to occasionally some new researchers joining and investing in this research work,

And occasionally some researchers get older and quit research work.

The entire project research team was hardly affected by anything.

It can be said that in a real sense, ten years are like one day.

During these ten years,

Mo Dao just carried out the research work at hand every day,

Thinking about the same questions that he has thought about countless times, he perfected his theory of the human body.

For most researchers, or most people,

This is a very boring process.

If you unfold Mo Dao's schedule for every day in these ten years and then overlap them and compare them,

You will find that in these ten years, Mo Dao spent most of his time in the same way.

Wake up in your bedroom at home, in your study, or in the lounge next to your lab.

If you are in the laboratory, continue to think about what you thought about yesterday,

If he was at home, he would talk to his wife, Qin Huaishi, about everyday things.

After that, either go to the lab or the office,

It also starts a day of research work.

If the experimental data provided by some research teams does not meet expectations, occasionally Mo Dao will directly participate in related experiments.

Even Mo Dao, when faced with this extremely complex research, will inevitably go through twists and turns sometimes, and then always be stuck on the same progress of the same problem.

However, in his long life, Mo Dao was extremely patient most of the time.

There is always enough anticipation for this kind of thing.

…

50 years, January.

Mo Dao was in an office in the research team's experimental building,

Ten years seem to have been compressed into one at this moment.

The research started with a considerable degree of understanding of various mechanisms in the human body when studying the aging mechanism and ultimate life span.

Then it continues to extend downward and expand outward.

Mo Dao's exaggerated thinking ability allowed Mo Dao to start from his first thought ten years ago when he decided to start research on human hibernation.

Sorting out the thoughts accumulated over the past ten years.

This is a thorough understanding of thoughts from beginning to end, and the amount of information contained in it is exaggerated.

If Mo Dao's brain were a high-performance supercomputer, it would be roaring heavily at this time.

Unfortunately not, so Mo Dao was in a physiological state with sweat on his forehead and his expression was quite calm.

Since ten days ago,

Mo Dao convened the entire research team and the heads of each collaborative laboratory for the last overall meeting and exchange.

Most of the experimental work of the entire research team was stopped.

At this time, a group of researchers already had some expectations.

After all, research is carried out step by step. In the ten years before the theory is completely perfected,

They have solved many problems under Mo Dao's leadership.

Although Mo Dao is always in charge of the overall situation alone, researchers from other research teams can always feel that research is moving forward.

Started this morning.

Mo Dao stopped most of his movements.

Sitting here as if a little distracted, just sorting out his thoughts.

Then, it was the afternoon of the day.

No one bothered him,

I took the initiative to tell others that I didn’t need to ask him to have lunch.

Mo Dao probably stayed alone for another hour.

Before your stomach starts growling with hunger,

Mo Dao solved this decade-long problem.

…

There was nothing special about this day, this afternoon.

For most people, it is still a normal day.

For Mo Dao,

The moment wasn't very exciting either.

As expected, the difficulties faced during the study were

Mo Dao also expected the final solution to this problem.

This is a very difficult problem, and it may be even more difficult or complicated than the original theoretical research on superconductivity and fluid model research.

But on this issue, Mo Dao hardly lost his way.

Just walked over step by step.

At this moment,

For Mo Dao, more than anything, it was just a question that had been stuck for a long time and he finally found the answer.

There is a sense of suddenness that makes people smile.
