027: Universal Medical Pod

"Elder Lin, calm down! Take a deep breath!"

Guo Yi rushed forward to support Elder Lin, who had just stood up.

At this moment, Elder Lin's face was strangely flushed.

It was clear that his body was temporarily in an abnormal state due to excessive excitement.

Guo Yi broke out in a cold sweat, completely at a loss.

Elder Lin's disciples immediately ran out.

Before long, they returned with a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills and dragged a doctor into the conference room.

"Hoo~"

Then, the doctor carefully examined Elder Lin's condition and said to him with a wry smile, "Elder Lin, please don't get too excited. Calm yourself down."

After speaking, the doctor slammed the table in anger, pointing his finger at everyone, especially the disciples and Guo Yi: "What are you guys doing?

Don't you know that as people get older, they can't handle too much stimulation?

What the hell are you doing? If you want to die, find a new way to do it!"

"..."

The disciples cast resentful glances at Guo Yi, not daring to retort.

Guo Yi, on the other hand, chuckled and scratched his head, not daring to meet the doctor's eyes.

"Alright, Xiao Qin." Elder Lin calmed down and interrupted the doctor's scolding, explaining, "It has nothing to do with these young people. I just got too excited.

I'm fine now, you can go out."

"Mhm." The doctor nodded obediently upon hearing Elder Lin's words.

However, as he left the conference room, he cast a fierce glance at the disciples and Guo Yi.

"Guo Yi, please continue."

"Wait!"

Elder Zhou interrupted Elder Lin and turned to the disciples beside him: "Go to the medical bay and get some quick-acting heart-saving pills.

A bottle for everyone!

I don't want to be lying in bed waiting for rescue at such a critical moment.

Let's calm ourselves down a bit too, otherwise, if Guo Yi pulls out anything else shocking, I'm afraid I'll just kick the bucket!"

The national treasures were stunned and instructed their disciples to fetch the medicine.

After the disciples left, Elder Zhou sternly instructed Guo Yi: "I've told you before, some things are best kept to yourself.

Why are you telling us?

Are you tired of living a long life?"

Guo Yi stood obediently by Elder Lin's side, head bowed as he received the scolding, but he muttered softly, "You can't blame me for this. I'm just telling you what I know, and I have many similar things in my mind.

There are even darker things..."

"Darker things... Let us take a breather first. It's too stimulating."

Elder Zhou rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Isn't today a joyous occasion for moving?

Why does it suddenly feel like a surprise, and mostly a shocking one?

After a long while, the conference room finally calmed down, and everyone had a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills.

In addition, the previous doctor, Xiao Qin, was quietly sitting in a corner of the conference room, giving Guo Yi a warning look: Take it easy, these are national treasures.

Even though you are also a national treasure, you can't bully the old national treasures!

It wasn't that Xiao Qin had such a bad attitude. Before Guo Yi arrived, the old national treasures were all fine.

Now that Guo Yi was here, he almost scared his aunt into trouble, and now he suddenly brought so many quick-acting heart-saving pills to the conference room. He couldn't help but worry.

He was also curious about what Guo Yi had done to warrant everyone needing quick-acting heart-saving pills.

So, just in case, he decided to stay and guard them, and there was also a medical team on standby outside the door.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

Elder Zhou saw that everyone had calmed down and made all the necessary psychological and physical preparations, so he resumed the discussion.

"First of all, Limb Regeneration, are you sure about this?"

"Mhm!"

"Mhm!?"

"Whoosh~"

Everyone looked at Xiao Qin, who stood up with his mouth agape, with disdain: You can't handle this?

Xiao Qin's mouth was wide open, and then he stiffly scanned everyone in the conference room.

Discovering that they were calm about this "Limb Regeneration" thing, showing no change in expression beyond being annoyed that he'd interrupted the topic, he suddenly felt like he should prepare a bottle of heart-saving pills for himself too.

"Go on."

Elder Zhou rubbed his temples, letting Guo Yi continue.

"Talk about what?"

Guo Yi looked at Elder Zhou, completely bewildered. He had explained it quite thoroughly before; how could it not be clear yet?

"What's the deal with that Universal Medical Pod?"

"It's just like that, it activates the body's self-healing cells."

Guo Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "To put it bluntly, the truly universal element is the body's self-healing cells and self-healing system. It can correct and repair bodily damage, thereby indirectly treating various diseases."

Afterward, Guo Yi suddenly looked at Xiao Qin with ill intent. "Once the medical pod is out, basic medical staff can basically retire."

"Whoosh~"

Everyone looked at Xiao Qin again. After all, he was the only professional medical personnel in the entire conference room. And this profession, if going by Guo Yi's theory, would definitely see ordinary doctors disappear. What would remain would only be scholars who were more proficient and had a deeper understanding of the human body and pathology.

Xiao Qin, on the other hand, instinctively clutched his chest: Meow meow meow? Is this what a mad scientist is like? Offend them, and they just destroy an entire profession?

"Alright, stop bullying Xiao Qin." Elder Lin looked at Guo Yi and Xiao Qin and shook his head helplessly. "Tell us about this Immortality situation."

"Crash~"

As soon as Elder Lin finished speaking, Xiao Qin collapsed to the floor. The disciple beside him, with a helpless expression, shared some of the quick-acting heart-saving pills in his hand with him: "Take it, you'll feel better after taking it."

"No, Auntie, did you just misspeak?" Xiao Qin scrambled up from the ground, excitedly asking Elder Lin, while also glancing around at everyone else. Finally, he looked foolishly at Guo Yi, unconsciously muttering, "Immortality!? Immortality!?"

It wasn't that Xiao Qin was being overly dramatic. As a doctor, and a renowned national physician at that, the words "Immortality" were too outlandish! Was this science? This was fantasy!

"It's not actually Immortality," Guo Yi glanced at Xiao Qin, who was almost crushing the granules in his hand into powder, and said calmly. "It's Longevity, not immortality or eternal life. The human lifespan is actually up to one hundred and twenty-five years. It's just that various external factors cause the human lifespan to decay. I'm just indirectly increasing lifespan by using Gene Counting Deception."

He paused, and Guo Yi continued to explain calmly, "The current theory is that telomeres are related to human aging. The more cells divide, the shorter the telomeres become, and eventually, the body's functions continuously decline. This is the reason for human aging. As for death, it refers to brain death. This is because nerve cells are highly differentiated cells and do not have the ability to divide. They can only be differentiated and regenerated by neural stem cells, but this regenerative capacity cannot compensate for the consumption. Therefore, the final conclusion is that the upper limit of the number of human brain cells is essentially determined at birth, around 14 billion. In the rest of life, one brain cell dies, and one less is available. In this manner, the human brain begins to age around the age of 20, and brain cells start to decrease at a rate of 100,000 per day. Around the age of 25, it begins to affect normal life, at 27 all abilities start to decline, and by 80, about half of the brain cells have decreased. Finally, when the number of brain cells is no longer sufficient to maintain physiological functions, people enter death... So..."

Guo Yi paused here, looked around at everyone, "How about we calm down? Take a pill?"

"..."

The old national treasures shook their heads helplessly. This was a good place to cut off the explanation. However, for them, who were in their twilight years, being mentally prepared meant no amount of storms could stir their emotions. It was just a pity for the disciples behind them. Without looking back, they could tell from the sounds: the synchronized opening of cans, the rolling of pills, and finally, the sound of drinking water.
