A lifespan of more than a thousand years... Hiss. Rounded up, wasn't that basically close to immortality?
Even Nicolas Flamel had only lived for a little over six hundred years.
"But why have I never heard of a vampire living that long?" Murphy wondered.
"Ahem, that's only the theoretical upper limit of cellular lifespan under laboratory conditions. The reality inside a human body is far more complicated. After all, a high number of divisions doesn't mean cellular functions don't change, not to mention cells like nerve cells that are difficult to regenerate."
"And vampires have a much harsher living environment than ordinary people. For example, their extreme photophobia means they can only move at night. Without sunlight, they become deficient in vitamin D, which not only causes osteoporosis and increases the risk of hypertension and heart disease, but may also affect their mental health."
"However, one way vampires are similar to bats is that they have extremely high resistance to bacteria and viruses. They almost never fall ill because of them. In addition, they can instantly increase their heart rate severalfold, greatly enhancing all their physical abilities. Their superhuman speed, reflexes, and strength all come from this."
"At present, two members of our team are trying to investigate the deeper reason behind vampires' DNA repair ability. This research will undoubtedly provide significant reference value for extending the human lifespan."
"In addition, we've also studied vampires' True Blood."
"We discovered that True Blood has an extremely high cell concentration and contains a large amount of material capable of infecting other cells. It can transform an ordinary cell into one containing vampire chromosomes in an extremely short time."
"However, we still haven't fully understood the specific transformation process and mechanism. We observed some abnormal phenomena, and there may be signs of magical
