Chapter 839: Mitochondria

Bi Fang rode his camel in front of a huge camp.

Return to the address where the tomb was previously found.

Bi Fang was not in a hurry to go back, he also wanted to see the follow-up of the development of the ancient tomb.

Walking along the Nile, I am not sure when I will find the town, it is better to come to the camp for a ride, I think Waziri and others will not refuse, and will even welcome.

Sure enough, Waziri deliberately walked out of the tomb, welcomed Bi Fang's return and took him on a tour of the camp under construction.

A day has passed, and the construction here has been in full swing.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least a dozen white tents stuck in the sand, and these are not ordinary camping tents that claim to be one, but yurt-like mobile structures supported by huge tent cloths.

Two giant trucks, as well as a water storage truck, were parked outside the camp, pieces of equipment had been removed from them, and parts of it were dusty.

In the center of the camp, two white plastic buckets at least three meters high were also seen, which were filled with fresh water, and various simple water pipes were connected to the bottom of the tents, making it easy to access and even bathe.

"Don't worry about running out of water, you can take a bath if you want, the water storage truck will come once a day, and it's not too far from the nearest city, less than 300 kilometers."

Waziri said proudly.

Egypt has many ruins, and the branches are very concentrated, basically on the west side of the Nile.

Because the Egyptian people at that time had a special worship of the Nile, and they chose the West Bank because they believed that the west was the place where the sun set, the city of the dead, and the dead would be resurrected from this side.

As a result, it is necessary to provide as many regular tents as possible in the field, as they often have to work in the field.

Transportation is also very convenient, with only a few trucks to move along the vicinity of the Nile.

Professors and scholars don't want to eat soil in the yellow sand, of course, how comfortable they are.

Before Bi Fang left, he saw that the construction of the camp was quite large, which was also one of the reasons why he decided to come back.

Otherwise, he would not be happy to come back and huddle into a small tent with a group of men who had been busy all day and were full of sweat during the day.

Hardship and hard work are virtues, but they are not necessary.

Suffering is just suffering and nothing else, and thinking about suffering is what really has value.

It has been asleep for tens of billions of years.

Humanity has finally awakened on this splendid planet.

It is endowed with the sparkle of color and the richness of life.

In a few decades, however, they will close their eyes again.

Such a very lucky few people have won the birth jackpot among the many possibilities, and of course they have to choose to live the life they want.

Isn't it too sad otherwise?

After a brief walk around the camp, Bi Fang told Waziri that he wanted to take a break.

After walking in the desert for more than two months, Bi Fang was really tired, and Waziri understood this, and immediately sent someone to take him to a tent that was not the largest, but the best in facilities.

Bi Fang moved Alpha to the shade shed built on the side, asked people to prepare some water and food for it, and then entered the tent alone, which was an eye-opener.

The cylindrical structure of the tent makes the interior look spacious and bright, and the aluminum alloy brackets and nylon fabric are strong and lightweight, and the blazing sunlight penetrates the thick layer of cloth, leaving only just the right amount of visual light.

A single bed rests on one side, and to the right of the bed there is a simple desk and bench with a lamp, and on the left is a wooden barrel with a faucet and a plastic hose.

It was clear that the plastic water pipe was connected to the two large buckets in the center of the dozen tents.

The ground is bare sand, which is not bad, but adds a bit of fun.

Although the furnishings are very simple, they are rare in the desert, and they can be called luxurious.

Bi Fang took two steps forward and lay down directly on the bed, the heat in his body was sucked away, his bones stretched to his heart's content, making a stiff clicking sound, and his strong muscles softened.

After squinting for a while with his eyes closed, Bi Fang jumped up from the bed, came to the outside of the tent, and saw that Alpha had already eaten the forage sent by the staff, so he turned back to the room, put water in the barrel, and prepared for a bath.

There is no hot water and there is no need for hot water.

During the day, the weather is hot, and the fresh water placed outdoors is also hot, so you can just jump in and wash it off.

After taking a shower, Bi Fang borrowed a brand new pair of razors and scissors, and sorted out his personal image in front of the mirror.

In the wilderness, Bi Fang also shaves, but he can't shave it with a knife, and often leaves a millimeter or two of stubble.

The same goes for hair, from Nemo Point to today, only once with a knife.

Now that he has more convenient tools, Bi Fang feels that his head is quickly refreshed, his chin has become smooth again, a large number of broken hair has fallen, and only some stubble is left on both sides of his sideburns, and the whole person is refreshed again.

After doing it himself so many times, Bi Fang has already exercised a good skill, although he can't do more hairstyles, but it is not difficult to get a refreshing short hair for himself.

After finishing it, Bi Fang flushed it under the faucet again, washed away all the excess broken hair, and then put on the new clothes he had just sent, that is, a T-shirt and big pants, no need to be on the figure, and it was almost the same.

After finishing the arrangement, Bi Fang sat down at the desk and clicked on the system panel.

Two combination quests, plus a side quest, the rewards are issued at one time, which is undoubtedly very generous.

[The final rewards are: Advanced Skill Enhancement Coupon x2, Muscle Mastery Enhancement Coupon x1, Mitochondrial Enhancement Coupon x1, Enhancement Points *5, Wilderness Points *5047.] 】

After thinking about it for a while, the skill enhancement coupon was all added to the Wilderness Traveler, completely upgrading it to full orange level.

After a period of brainstorming, Bi Fang reopened his eyes with a little joy in his eyes.

The Wilderness Traveler is the foundation of his life, and this skill can almost be said to be complete from then on, and as for the higher level of red, Bi Fang has not found a way to promote it now.

If it weren't for the system's explanation of the real existence, Bi Fang would have doubted whether it was fake.

High-level skill enhancement, in addition to the need for coupons, also need to take a strengthening point, at this time Bi Fang still has the last three points left, looked at his four-dimensional attributes, added a little on the force, two points on the fine.

Wilderness points aside, these things are thrown into the mall.

Bi Fang set his sights on the highlight of this reward, a muscle mastery enhancement coupon and a mitochondrial enhancement ticket.

This kind of enhancement coupon that favors one aspect has always been a treasure among treasures.

The chance of being brushed out in the store is outrageous, and in the past two years, Bi Fang has not brushed it out when he often refreshes the store.

From this, it can be seen that obtaining from the task is the only way to obtain this strongest reward.

Muscle Mastery Booster Voucher.

Just listen to the name to know the effect, it is nothing more than to increase the ability to control the muscles, and you can perform more detailed micro-manipulations.

Human muscles are extremely complex.

Muscle strength is manifested in many aspects, such as absolute strength, speed strength, strength endurance, and dynamic strength.

Dynamic strength refers to the strength that sustains more repetitions of exercise.

The absolute power is represented by the masticatory muscles, and in 1986 a man in Florida set a world record by releasing a bite force of 442 kilograms in 2 seconds.

Representatives of dynamic forces are the extraocular muscles. The extraocular muscles can stretch the eye movement at least 10,000 times during a 1-hour book, and a person can read a book for several hours in a row.

According to research, the movement of the extraocular muscles when watching a movie is far more frequent than reading a book, far more than 10,000 times per hour, and the average person can watch a movie for several hours.

An unmeasurable champion of absolute power is the sub-worker muscle.

The strong contraction during childbirth causes the muscles to produce the strongest strength in the body, but this force is affected by hormones and other biochemical factors, so this force cannot be measured.

The heart muscle is the king of strength and endurance, as it jumps from birth to death.

Isolated muscles, the most powerful being the gluteus maximus.

The gluteus maximus is the main anti-gravity muscle that keeps the person upright. All the movements that humans complete upright require the gluteus maximus muscle.

There is also the calf soleus muscle underneath.

The calf muscles are the strongest muscles with external force, not that the calf muscles themselves can produce much force, but that the toes are used as the fulcrum when the calf is raised, and the principle of labor-saving lever is used to show a great external force.

Most of the skeletal muscles of the human body exert force to pull the bones, which are done in the form of laborious levers, so the calf muscles are often more prominent as a small number of labor-saving levers.

The function of the muscles is the tongue.

The tongue is rich in nerves and blood vessels, and it is composed of eight muscles, which are the real muscles of the human body.

These muscles are incredible, but they are also inseparable from mastery of them.

If they can be more controlled, they will definitely perform to the next level.

In addition to saving physical strength in the wilderness, this is also an extremely high reinforcement for the body itself.

The most intuitive point is that Bi Fang can achieve higher burst and attack effects by allowing more muscles to work together.

It is interesting to say that if a human being could fully use every muscle, the sum of his whole body strength would be twenty-five tons.

This is, of course, nonsense.

It's not because of any body structure that can't be supported, but because it's impossible for a person to use the strength of the sphincter for straight punches, which is not martial arts and extremely impolite.

Many of them are laborious leverages.

However, the fact that this statement can be circulated also proves that the potential of the human body is indeed higher than many people think.

Use the Muscle Mastery Booster Ticket.

The golden coupon turned into a golden light in his mind, shattered with a bang, and turned into countless pieces of broken gold powder and poured into the depths of his body.

Bi Fang, who was sitting on the stool, quickly felt the temperature of his body in height, and soon sweated profusely, and his mouth was dry, Bi Fang grabbed the water glass on the side and drank it all, cup after cup.

It wasn't until nearly three liters of underwater belly that Bi Fang was about to add salt to the water that the changes in his body gradually stopped and the temperature gradually receded.

Holding on to his somewhat faint brain, Bi Fang, who took a bath in vain, had to go to the faucet, rinse and rinse, and the water dripped from the thick plastic plate into the desert, and soon evaporated.

"Whew!"

Bi Fang took a deep breath and quickly felt something strange.

Breathe deeper.

After taking two steps, there was a more relaxed feeling, as if it didn't take much effort, and there was an illusion of walking on the clouds.

Then jump, run, squat, backflip, and handstand with one hand.

One after another, the movements that seemed to ordinary people to be very difficult were all done very easily under Bi Fang's display.

These movements are not difficult for Bi Fang, before strengthening, and physical fitness can be easily done, but now he is more calm.

moreover

Bi Fang, who was doing a one-handed handstand, put his right hand directly behind his back and took the initiative to disrupt his balance, but his body did not move under a series of fine-tuning.

"It's amazing."

Bi Fang muttered to himself.

The combination of muscle control and balance enhancement actually combined the effect of one plus one is greater than two, and I support the ground with one hand, which feels no different from normal standing!

Bi Fang even found that he didn't even sweat!

It's so cool!

The expansion of the scope of ability is like expanding the house where you live, and the things you can do have become significantly more and more relaxed, and there is more relaxation from body to spirit, as if there is no sense of strength that cannot be imposed.

Bi Fang resumed supporting the ground with both hands, and then bent his arms to support him, and his waist and abdomen were coordinated, and the whole person jumped up directly in a handstand state.

It's as incredible as an animated character.

After moving his body, Bi Fang restrained his excitement and set his sights on the mitochondrial strengthening coupon again.

Mitochondria

At the first glance of this enhancement coupon, Bi Fang actually couldn't believe it.

Anyone who has studied biology knows how great the role of mitochondria is, and it is the direct energy provider of biological activities!

Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cell, and their main job is to consume oxygen to "burn" the three major nutrients: sugars, lipids, and amino acids to produce an energy "currency" - adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This is aerobic respiration.

Without mitochondria, human beings would cease to exist, because the life activities of higher organisms require a lot of energy, and the ATP produced by anaerobic glycolysis is only about 1/16 of that of aerobic oxidation.

A person has to break down the ATP equivalent to his body weight every day, so much ATP is not stored in the body, and the total weight of all ATP molecules in the human body is only about 50 grams.

In fact, each ATP molecule is reused 1000-1500 times a day.

This fast energy turnover rate depends on the efficient work of the mitochondria.

And that's just the most superficial role of mitochondria.

So far, the longest human life span is 122 years, while some animals can live for more than 500 years.

What is making us age, and what is preventing us from becoming immortal?

Countless biological scientists have been trying to decipher the secrets of immortality, and many hypotheses have been put forward so far, the most famous of which is the free radical aging theory.

Free radicals are produced in the process of cellular reactions, and human beings breathe every day, they will produce free radicals, and the more free radicals there are, the more they may accelerate aging.

The main source of free radicals is the power factory in the body - mitochondria.

What does its reinforcement represent?

For the first time, Bi Fang fell into deep thought.
