Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 192: Human Immortality?

I didn't sleep all night, and only rushed here today when I got some clues.

If there is anyone who can give him advice in this regard, it is probably only this girl.

"Old Xia, what happened?"

Xia Wuqi placed nine transparent cups made of glass on the table.

The current Shaofu is already able to make glass, so Lin Anlan was not too shocked.

Xia Wuqie stood up, scooped a ladle of water from the jar, poured it into the cup, and then took out a jar.

When I opened the lid, a pungent smell of blood came out and my hands were shaking with excitement.

"This is……"

Lin Anlan's pupils contracted and a terrible association arose in his mind.

Xia Wuqie poured the blood into one of the cups, and the scarlet blood underwent some changes.

The second cup contained an unknown liquid, but after it was poured in, it did not mix.

The first cup was filled with ice, and the fourth cup was placed on the stove.

It was still normal, but what happened next was really eye-opening.

Xia Wuqie got up and took out several different herbs from the box. He first crushed them in a jar, sprinkled them into the cup, and then poured the tiger's blood into it.

"Pinellia, Juniperus, Pale Bamboo, Lotus Seed, Snow Silkworm..."

Lin Anlan only felt that his heart was as if being held by a big hand.

She naturally knew what these things were used for, which was why she was so shocked.

Finally, when it came to the ninth cup, Xia Wuqie found a centipede king and put it in, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

It took a full cup of tea before it was over.

"Mr. Lin, as you expected, this is the blood from the tiger."

"When I mixed it with different herbs, it reacted and I finally concluded that it probably contained something unknown."

"I also went to the Shaofu and asked Lao Zhang to help take a look, but unfortunately no one knew what was going on."

After saying this, Xia Wuqie turned his head and looked in the direction of Lin Anlan, his face full of hope.

If Lin Anlan still doesn’t know, I’m afraid I will really have to give up.

But he was really unwilling to give up, always feeling that he had grasped some unknown secret.

Xia Wuqi had a hunch that if he could figure this out, it would definitely promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

At his age, he has long forgotten fame, wealth and power, and his only wish is to contribute to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Little did he know that a huge wave of emotion was rising in Lin Anlan's heart, and he was petrified on the spot.

It's genes!

"Old Xia, do you know what this means?"

Lin Anlan took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"What does it mean?"

Xia Wuqi was a little confused.

Simply put, genes are molecules that cannot be observed with the naked eye.

But Xia Wuqie used Chinese herbal medicine to react with it and got the result.

He didn't know what it was, but Lin Anlan knew it was clearly genes.

Lin Anlan was shocked beyond words and was really scared.

This is ancient times, how could they have invented something like genes?

"Mr. Lin?"

Xia Wuqie called out again, and Lin Anlan came back to his senses.

"That means you found the gene!"

"Genes? What's that?"

"It is the unit that records the genetic information of organisms. It is the code for all life."

"The...code of life?"

Xia Wuqie looked confused.

Lin Anlan knew that genes were too unfamiliar to ancient people.

She didn't even know whether Xia Wuqie could understand her explanation.

"Old Xia, let me tell you this."

"Genes are the basis of biological structure. If we can understand their nature, we can use them to cure diseases and even prolong life!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Xia Wuqi was shocked.

"Mr. Lin, you mean that if we can understand this substance, we can make humans immortal?"

"That's the theory."

"However, if we want to completely crack the secrets of genes, it will probably require the efforts of countless people, or even hundreds or thousands of years."

“That’s worth it!”

Xia Wuqie said excitedly.

"If we can master this technology, let alone cure diseases and save lives, even making weapons to kill people is not impossible!"

"A murder weapon?"

Lin Anlan was a little surprised.

"Yes, if we can understand this substance, we can use it to cultivate stronger poisons, or even plagues!"

Hearing this, Lin Anlan was stunned.

She didn't expect that Xia Wuqi's thinking was so advanced.

They have even thought of using genes to create biological weapons!

"Mr. Lin, I...I'm going back first. I want to continue my research!"

Xia Wuqie left in a hurry after saying a few words.

Looking at Xia Wuqi's departing back, Lin Anlan's heart was filled with complicated feelings.

After all, no matter how fast development is, there is always a process. For example, is it possible to produce nuclear weapons now?

Agriculture, light industry, heavy industry, and finally biotechnology.

Biology relies most on science and technology, as well as various precision instruments, otherwise it cannot be explored.

This has basically become a consensus in later generations, and no one dares to set foot there easily.

“Perhaps, in this era, there are more undiscovered talents.”

Lin Anlan couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

She also developed a deeper interest in this era.

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine and genes also have an inseparable relationship.

There are many different substances in the human body, which create a state of balance.

If any substance is damaged or lacking, we will become sick.

Traditional Chinese medicine supplements this substance to achieve the purpose of healing.

If we can thoroughly explore traditional Chinese medicine, then the so-called longevity will not be a problem. "

To a certain extent, the greater the pressure on an organ, the faster it ages. When it fails to the extreme, that is the moment of death.

As long as you prevent the aging of bones and organs, you can prolong your life.

This is why herbs with hematopoietic functions such as ginseng and ganoderma are so precious.

"Maybe, I can try Chinese medicine."

Lin Anlan said in his heart.

She has always been interested in traditional Chinese medicine.

She planned to go into the primitive jungle to find some herbs to study.

Lin Anlan believed that there must be more secrets hidden in those primitive jungles waiting for her to discover!

……

While Lin Anlan was studying traditional Chinese medicine, Daqin was not idle either.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng is actively promoting his multi-service combat strategy.

He wants to conquer all of Asia as quickly as possible!

Han Xin was appointed as the commander-in-chief by Ying Zheng and led an army of 100,000 to invade India.

Zhang Han was appointed as the right general by Ying Zheng and followed Han Xin into the battle, responsible for the charge of chariots and cavalry.

As for the food and fodder affairs, they were handed over to Meng Yi.

The Shaofu was in charge of Feng Jie.
