Chapter 927 (1/2)
”Premature senility is a genotype genetic disease. The process of physical aging is five to ten times faster than that of normal people. The patient looks like an old man, and the organs decline quickly, resulting in the decline of physiological function until death.” Xie Yuyan said faintly and looked up at Li Qing, ”About one to four out of eight million newborns will have premature aging. Although this disease is rare, it is not new in modern medicine.”
Zhao Qili leaned forward: ”my family has no genetic history of premature aging, and my aging speed is far more than what you call five or ten times.”
Xie Yuyan nodded gently, then took out a document from the folder on the table and handed it to Zhao Qili: ”this is a paper in the American Journal of natural science. You should be able to understand it?”
Zhao Qili took the information in his hand and was embarrassed: ”my English... Is not very good.”
Li Qing silently took the information from Zhao Qili and glanced at it: ”this is a paper on gene research. What does it mean?”
”Let me put it simply.” Xie Yuyan picked up the cup, drank some water and pursed his lips. ”Some researchers of the foundation have newly discovered a gene whose mutation is the reason for the gradual degradation of cell structure and function in patients with premature aging. Patients with premature aging can obtain this pathological gene not only through heredity, but also through other factors.”
Li Qing frowned: ”other reasons? What do you mean?”
”For example... Radiation.”
”Radiation?” Li Qing fiercely raised his head from the data and stared at Xie Yuyan in amazement.
”That's right.” Xie Yuyan nodded. ”You all mentioned that when the Tiankeng dome collapsed, you were in the irradiation range of a blue light, which can penetrate the skin, so I think it should be a kind of radiation. It is likely that this kind of radiation caused gene mutation in the body and premature aging.”
Zhao Qili was a little excited: ”then why is Li Qing OK? Only I have become this picture of people without ghosts and ghosts?”
”In fact, it's not just li Qing.” Xie YuYan's voice is extremely calm, forming two extremes with Zhao Qili, ”At that time, you two were outside, while the others were lying in the coffin. Do you think that since the radiation could penetrate the skin, it could not penetrate the wood? Frankly, everyone was exposed to radiation, but the lesions varied from person to person. Unfortunately, you are the only mutant.”
Zhao Qili was silent.
Xie Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out another piece of information from the folder. She handed the information to Zhao Qili again, but the other party didn't answer, so she winked and handed the information to Li Qing.
Li Qing's face was an unspeakably complex expression. He took the information, but he didn't want to see it again. He asked faintly, ”what's this?”
