Fang Jing raised an eyebrow.

This could indeed solve the problem of organ activity, but he didn't believe it was Cyril's ultimate answer.

“That’s right, bionic organs, this is a route that is suitable for large-scale deployment.”

Sirius smiled faintly and explained to Elder Zhu:

"The advantage is that once it is deployed, the production cost is very low, and it can give humans extraordinary power."

Well, bionic organs are a kind of alternative mechanical ascension.

For example, if bionic lungs were actually used in the human body, the human's ability to adapt to the atmosphere would be quite different.

Bionic lungs can directly filter harmful gases.

Of course, this feature is now pretty useless, since it's the task of the bio-exoskeleton.

Cyril naturally knew this, so he simply nodded briefly before continuing his explanation:

"In addition, there is a solution that is perfectly suited to the human body."

"Regenerative stem cells!"

"I've heard of regenerative stem cells, like storing umbilical cord blood."

Fang Jing had heard of stem cells before; there was a time when storing infant umbilical cord blood was all the rage.

Umbilical cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells, which can be used to treat blood diseases and immune system diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma.

And these regenerative stem cells are different from hematopoietic stem cells.

This is a study conducted by the combined engineers and pioneers of Cyril, using biotechnology to target the progenitor virus's repair function.

By reculturing individual stem cells, failing organs can be regenerated!

And it's not just organs, limb regeneration, but also...

"what is this?"

Fang Jing gestured to the holographic projection in front of him, and felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the scene in one of the experimental pods.

The experimental chamber was filled with culture medium, and a monkey head was placed inside.

That's right, there's only one monkey head.

The monkey's eyes were closed, but the tubes and testing equipment inserted into its head told Fang Jing that it was still alive.

However, strangely, there were dense granulation tissues growing under the monkey's head.

Fang Jing flipped through the experimental records,

He discovered a fact that shocked him.

That is, originally there was only one monkey head in the culture medium, but now the monkey head has grown a neck and is still sprouting granulation tissue.

"This is regenerative stem cells. Even if only the head is left, as long as the person is still alive, everything can be rebuilt."

Cyril shrugged, pointed at the screen, and said calmly:

"This is the experimental process, but it's growing rather slowly right now."

"Gulu."

Fang Jing swallowed hard.

The scene before me, how should I put it, is the kind that would scare ghosts away if you dragged it into a horror movie.

Doing biological research these days really requires a lot of mental fortitude!

This scene is truly bizarre.

However bizarre it may seem, the value behind this experiment is immeasurable.

A scientific version of "blood regeneration".

While it's not quite that extreme, even if all that's left is the head, we can still save you.

That's strong enough!

What is the organ repair rate of regenerative stem cells?

Old Zhu stood behind him, observing quietly for a few seconds, before finally speaking.

"89% of your organs can return to the state they were in when you were just an adult—it couldn't be better!"

Hillier knew that his work had been recognized by Professor Zhu, and therefore he was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Very good, how far are we from practical application now?"

"Animal experiments are underway. After a year of animal experiments, we will recruit volunteers to conduct human experiments."

Cyril answered truthfully.

"Ah."

Old Zhu paused and nodded.

What are the current expectations for life expectancy?

"With the addition of bionic organs and regenerative stem cells to maintain bodily functions, the expected lifespan increase is 100 years."

Speaking of this, Cyril shook his head helplessly.

"One hundred years is the limit of detection. Although cells can still divide, other bodily functions may collapse."

"Without knowing the data, it's impossible to make any further predictions."

"a hundred years!"

Fang Jing and Zhou Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Although this is a theoretical increase in lifespan, if all of these are added together, human lifespan will be increased to at least around 180 years.

This has already exceeded the theoretical lifespan limit of humans!

"Brother Zhou!"

Fang Jing seemed to remember something and nudged Zhou Yuan with his elbow.

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

Fang Jing suddenly smiled and said:

"From now on, saying 'live to a ripe old age' will be an insult!"

"puff!"

Zhou Yuan was caught off guard and choked on his own words.

He gave Fang Jing a thumbs up:

"That's absolutely right, living to be a hundred years old is now the most vicious curse!"

Chapter 301 Don't be too arrogant.

Schreyer's research on progenitor viruses and life extension has made truly astonishing progress.

However, the more astonishing the progress, the more Zhu Lao instructed that secrecy must be maintained.

Because this stuff just flowed out carelessly.

It's a powerful tool, but also a Pandora's box.

The benefits are self-evident; the drawbacks are not insignificant either.

If some old, immortal beings were allowed to live forever, that would be a real problem.

Therefore, for a long time to come, the full set of technologies will only be permitted for use within Project 237.

The only thing that can be expelled is the bionic organ.

As Fang Jing left, he took one last look at the monkey head in the culture medium.

Looking at this bizarre scene, with the fleshy growths spreading on the monkey's neck, Fang Jing felt a chill run down his spine.

This is progress in biological science, but it's really creepy to look at.

Indeed, those who work in biological sciences must have more endurance and mental fortitude than the average person.

Otherwise, you'd be terrified during the experiment.

Fang Jing followed Elder Zhu out of Sirius's laboratory, and then, after turning a corner, the three of them went to another laboratory.

"Besides witnessing this technological breakthrough, there's another reason I called you here today."

Old Zhu smiled slightly and pointed to the room beside him.

"Blood drawing room?"

Fang Jing frowned. What was going on now?

"That's right, the blood drawing room."

Old Zhu subtly gestured towards Shireel's laboratory, and solemnly introduced it:
