“When flying, the bat’s heart rate can go up to more than 1000 beats per minute.” Zheng Ren replied,”it’s usually around 100 to 200 times per minute. By right, bats “lifespans are even shorter than mice ‘s. It could even be said that these creatures should have gone extinct a long time ago.” Zheng Ren suddenly said in a serious tone.
“You’re too cruel. If the bats go extinct, I think Christian will go crazy.” Su Yun laughed.
“But the lifespan of bats is far beyond my imagination. After studying it carefully, there is not much relevant literature. I found that if it were not for the existence of a fungal infection such as White Nose Syndrome, bats would have ruled the world.” Zheng Ren said.
“How can it be so easy to rule the world? We humans don’t have a natural enemy, but bats have their own natural enemy. They don’t even exist, just like humans, who will play themselves to death sooner or later. “
“Yes, you’re right. Bats are very resistant to viruses, but their antibacterial properties are very weak, especially fungi. ” Zheng Ren said,”it’s a pity that we don’t have a laboratory. We can’t find out what’s going on.”
“You’re afraid …”
“I’m just afraid that Christian has improved the living conditions of the bats and created super bats that are immune to viruses and bacteria …”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If that were the case, Christian wouldn’t have been able to go to heaven!” Su Yun said in disdain.
“I’m just casually saying, don’t argue. ” “That’s how it is,” Zheng Ren smiled.”I’ve found the answer to what I’m most concerned about, at least for now.”
“Was it what Christian just said? Are you sure it’s not what the Bruch family wants?” Su Yun asked in confusion.
“Yes, the current research results are only beneficial to mankind. From the process of the bat Gene’s restoration and change, we can find a way to stop the genetic reversal recording and thus open the door to treating tumors. ” Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.
“Boss, do you have any proof?”
“There’s no proof, just a guess. However, Christian’s expression just now told me that my guess might be correct. “
Before Su Yun could say anything, Zheng Ren continued,”the division of human cells is about 50 to 100 times. Every time the chromosomes were duplicated, a small part of the telomeres would be lost. Under normal circumstances, the expression of the genes that produce telomeres is suppressed. “
“But tumor cells don’t have this limitation.”
“What do you want to say?” Su Yun couldn’t keep up with her boss’s train of thought. After all, he had never done any homework before.
“Many tens of thousands of years ago, bats had a genetic mutation, causing their chromosomes to replicate far more than other mammals. In other words, they have a strong ability to repair their bodies, but there are no unlimited cases like tumors.” Zheng Ren said,”among mammals, this is a very BUG-like existence. It’s also of great significance to mankind. “
“…” Su Yun was stunned, but she immediately reacted and said,””You mean to find out where the change is through the study of bat genetic mutation, and then reverse-think, repair the genes of the tumor cells, and turn them back into normal cells?!”
“Yes, but it seems that the research results of the burta lab are not that far away. They are still in the stage of repairing the reversal record.” Zheng Ren said.
“I’m sorry for your choice of words. You actually said that burta’s Black technology is useless.” Su Yun said in disdain. It was just that this matter was too shocking, so his disdainful tone was much lighter.
“I didn’t say it’s useless. You’re just trying to confuse the topic. This habit of yours is particularly bad. You have to argue at any time and place.” “If we can perfectly replicate or understand the genetic mutation of bats,” Zheng Ren said seriously,”the lifespan of a human could be more than 500 years.”
“Boss, that’s Pandora’s Box. It’s better not to open it.” Su Yun said,”there are more and more people. It will only cause war.”
“The sea of stars? there are so many regions waiting for us to explore.” Zheng Ren said,”after extending one’s life, there are many things to do. One doesn’t have to destroy themselves.”
“If humans have tumor cells …”
“I especially don’t like this analogy. Are you going to talk about the entropy of the entire universe? Don’t think too much about it. The most important thing is to think about how to cure little stone’s illness. ” Zheng Ren said,”I’m more confident in the research results of the Botha lab now.”
“The problem is whether Christian will invest a lot of money in this.” Su Yun said.
“Did you see old Frye? This was a high-end private hospital and the most cutting-edge research Center. I even suspect that they’ve dug who knows how many kilometers underground for dangerous research work. “
“And then?”
“I told Christian that I knew their research direction, and I also expressed my opinion. As long as he had a shred of rationality left, he would continue his research. If you can make a breakthrough, you’ll have more financial support and you’ll also gain my friendship. ” Zheng Ren was seriously telling a ‘joke’.
“I’m very sorry for the last sentence of your last speech.” Su Yun said,”I can tell you for sure that you’re already full of yourself.”
Zheng Ren smiled but did not say anything.
After a brief chat with Christian, he was really full of confidence. Many of his previous conjectures had been confirmed. The Bruch family might not be researching the part of the bat gene that was immune to ultraviolet rays, but how to treat White Nose Syndrome.
And by chance, they found the genetic mutation of the bat that happened tens of thousands of years ago, which could be used to treat cancer. All of this seemed to be a coincidence, but Zheng Ren was sure that it was inevitable.
Su Yun took out her phone and started searching for White Nose Syndrome. After looking at a related article and photo, she said in surprise,””Boss! This isn’t a F * cking fungal infection, it’s an ice spell!”
“Don’t play the game too much, or don’t bring the settings of the game into reality. ” Zheng Ren said indifferently.
Su Yun didn’t seem to notice the words that his boss said that made him uncomfortable. Looking at the bat with White Nose Syndrome, Su Yun was speechless.
No wonder bats had extremely powerful genes, yet they were unable to extend their lifespans. The White Nose Syndrome had been around for many years and had been limiting the number of bats that mutated. It could even lead to the death of entire bat communities.
Looking at the White spread on the bodies of the dead bats, it was as if they were covered in frost. It really was an ice spell.
Su Yun’s brain started to become active, and the black hair on her forehead fluttered even though there was no wind. Zheng Ren, on the other hand, pondered Christian’s expression and micro-expression to determine what the Botha laboratory could do.
