Chapter 2695 The secret of the laboratory
After waiting for a few minutes, the two saw Stephen's car driving over from a distance.
"You two have been waiting for a long time, Marshall is inside, let's go in now."
"good."
Under the leadership of Stephen, the three entered the laboratory building together.
Compared with the outside of the building, the inside is a little more ordinary, no different from ordinary independent laboratories.
After entering, there are stairs on the left, but to Lin Yi's surprise, there is a basement here.
However, the entrance is locked and traffic is prohibited.
"Do you know this man named Marshall?"
Standing beside Li Chuhan, Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
"I checked yesterday. I used to be the dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He resigned three years ago. It seems that he has come to work here."
"People at the level of the dean come to work here?"
In Lin Yi's view, the status of the dean of a medical school is higher than that of the director of a private research institute in terms of reputation, income, and status.
In the world, Moslik's laboratory is not very famous.
"It may be that the money given is enough, or the scientific research topics here are attractive enough."
"Which possibility do you prefer?"
"The latter." Li Chuhan thought for a while and said with a smile:
"I am very interested in their research."
Lin Yi laughed, "You've said that, I'm more interested in Moslik."
Soon, the three went up to the fourth floor, and met Marshall in the office on the inside.
The other party is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, but he still looks hale and hearty, but his legs and feet are not very agile.
"Hey, old man, this is the person I introduced to you. My former student Lee, now she is a very good heart surgeon. This is her boyfriend, Mr. Lin Yilin."
"Hello, welcome to Moslik."
Marshall stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two respectively.
After a brief greeting, the two were welcomed into the office.
The content of the conversation quickly got to the point.
But Marshall gave Li Chuhan more time and asked her a lot of professional matters.
As for Lin Yi, it was more like a foil.
While the two were talking, Lin Yi listened silently.
Most of the topics stay in the field related to genes.
What surprised Lin Yi was that Li Chuhan, who has always been quiet, has many unique insights of his own in this regard, making the atmosphere of the conversation very positive.
Unknowingly, the two chatted for more than half an hour. If Stephen hadn't opened his mouth, they might have continued chatting.
"Lee, Mr. Lin, I have arranged your position in advance, please follow me."
Although Lin Yi was just a foil, under Li Chuhan's halo, he also received due respect.
Under the leadership of Marshall, several people came to the third floor of the laboratory.
This is where the laboratory is located. There are more than a dozen rooms, large and small, and the staff are busy in full swing.
"Harvey!"
Marshall greeted him and called a middle-aged man in his forties.
The man was blond, with a big beard, and looked a little simple and honest.
"These two are new colleagues from China. They will work with you in the future to conduct research on telomere cells."
Harvey glanced at the two casually, as if he didn't take it seriously.
"good."
Several people communicated for a while, and the man named Harvey took Lin Yi and Li Chuhan away, and introduced them to other people in the group.
"Here is the relevant research we have conducted over the years. In order to better integrate into the team, the two of you can read the information first."
"good."
After placing the two of them, Harvey left.
Lin Yi and Li Chuhan were also so happy, they felt uncomfortable with an outsider around them.
The place where the two are located is more like a reference room of a laboratory.
There are several cabinets on both sides, and there are various materials in them. If you want to read them all, it will take at least a week.
"I'll look at the information first."
After saying a word, Li Chuhan focused on the information.
Lin Yi was also happy to be free. After seeing so much information, he was the first and the second eldest, so it was just right for Li Chuhan to do this.
After about an hour or so, Li Chuhan quickly flipped through more than 20 documents. If Lin Yi hadn't invited her to lunch, she might have continued to read.
At noon, the two found a restaurant and planned to settle their lunch.
"How do you feel? Did you gain anything?"
"Their research directions are all genetic, and the main directions are related to the attenuation and regeneration of telomere cells."
"If I remember correctly, the telomere cells of chromosomes can affect the lifespan of human beings."
Li Chuhan nodded and said:
"A few years ago, there was a very popular concept of immortality in the medical field, which revolved around telomere cells, but in recent years, there have been a lot fewer similar voices. I didn't expect them to be doing related research."
"The investment industry in Country M has reached a bottleneck. It is impossible to see profits in the short term. Could it be that such a concept was deliberately created to cheat investors of their money?" Lin Yi said.
"Not necessarily, because in the category of mammals, humans have this particularity, and so far, there is no reasonable explanation."
"What specificity do you mean?"
"According to the survey, the heartbeat of mammals is roughly the same throughout life. It is about 1.1 billion times. The faster the heartbeat, the shorter the life span. Almost all mammals meet this characteristic, except for humans. The exception is between 2.5 billion and 3 billion, and there is no relevant investigation and research to explain this matter.
"You mean, the human beings in the past may have conformed to this rule, but for some reason, the genes changed, which increased the total number of heartbeats and extended life span?"
Li Chuhan nodded and said:
"But it's all speculation, there is no real evidence, but I think that if you really want to prolong your life, or even the so-called immortality, the core part is the telomere of the gene cell, and you need to start from here."
"No wonder this laboratory ~ has not been well-known for many years. It may not be able to produce results after more than ten or twenty years of research in this area."
"Indeed, but as far as science is concerned, I still hope that someone can stand up and do more research in this area, otherwise human thinking and vision will be limited."
"It makes sense."
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." Li Chuhan put down the knife and fork and said:
"When I was looking through the materials, I discovered something."
"What's up?"
"One of the studies is a joint study conducted by Moslik and Degdalon's laboratory, which is about the calculation of biological cell attenuation rate."
"Degdalon?"
"It's the official laboratory of country M."
