CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: I’M TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE, SHE WANTS MYSTICISM

Zhou Mo Sen certainly understood Nicole Kidman’s meaning.

Anti-aging, or simply the pursuit of immortality.

It’s indeed very tempting.

Examples from throughout history and around the world abound.

But none of them succeeded.

However, medicine is indeed researching in this area.

Many doctors and scientists are involved.

Numerous theories have emerged from this.

Among them, the one with considerable fame is ’telomere theory.’

We’ve observed that with every division of cells, telomeres shorten.

So.

If we can maintain telomere length, without shortening.

It’s equivalent to achieving immortality.

And furthermore, if we can lengthen telomeres.

It’s like reversing aging, becoming youthful again.

The telomere theory is simple and direct like this.

Thus, we continue to explore and quickly discover an ’enzyme.’

This enzyme can synthesize telomeres and is called telomerase.

Also known as reverse transcriptase.

It seems the dawn of victory is just before us.

But soon, we discovered a very pessimistic fact.

Reverse transcriptase was found in reproductive cells.

But after searching through many normal cells, we found nothing.

Until...

Ovarian cancer, lymphoma, lung cancer, etc.

Yes, we found this enzyme again in cancer cells.

Those who study medical history may know a cell, namely:

HeLa cells (HELA).

The cancer patient who provided this cell died as early as 1951.

But, this cancer cell continues to divide.

Which means it’s still alive.

It’s completely certain that HeLa cells can keep dividing.

Almost equivalent to immortality.

Thus, someone expressed this view:

Cancer may be the key to human immortality!

Zhou Mo Sen is just a general surgery doctor; he can have a basic understanding of these theories.

That’s already quite impressive.

But how to explain this to Nicole Kidman?

Even if he explained scientifically, it’s useless.

It simply can’t be achieved.

Medical research on human immortality is stuck.

Zhou Mo Sen has no ability to solve it.

But what surprised Dr. Zhou was that the celebrity wasn’t thinking on the same track as him.

"Dr. Zhou, are you planning to keep this secret forever?"

"What?" Zhou Mo Sen didn’t understand for a moment.

Nicole Kidman continued: "Just admit it, you surely know the mysterious Eastern power."

East-Mysterious-power.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Mo Sen was completely confused.

How did it come to this?

But, Nicole Kidman said seriously and earnestly: "I heard that one of your patients occasionally makes some strange gestures."

Daddario?

This girl, really, keep those hand exercises hidden.

"That has nothing to do with mysterious Eastern power." Zhou Mo Sen replied sincerely.

Then, he briefly explained the telomere theory.

This is already very cutting-edge medical research.

Moreover, this is not useless, many cancer-targeted drugs are developed based on this theory.

But Nicole Kidman was a bit upset.

"Dr. Zhou, stop pretending."

English to Chinese: Don’t babble those useless things!

It seems no matter how he explains, she won’t believe it.

Zhou Mo Sen understood.

I want to talk science, but she wants mysticism!

Couldn’t help thinking of Nicole’s ex-husband.

Tom and that Scientology are deeply linked.

This thing is considered that cult.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Actually, quite a few Hollywood stars believe in all kinds of weird religions.

"Mysterious Eastern power, I really don’t understand, let’s leave it here."

Zhou Mo Sen planned to end this chicken-duck talk.

But Nicole Kidman wouldn’t give up.

"Dr. Zhou, I just want to restore youth, you can use any means.

It’s fine if you want to keep it secret.

I won’t ask about that power again.

If you can help me, then I will help you too.

Like for your clinic, I can endorse for free, even help you promote in Hollywood."

Zhou Mo Sen hesitated for a moment.

This offer is tempting!

Moreover, he immediately thought of what to endorse.

Facial mask!

Imagine if Nicole Kidman endorsed hyaluronic acid masks.

Wouldn’t it sell like crazy?

The key is it could directly enter Hollywood!

Produced by Zhou Mo Sen is a hyaluronic acid mask.

Contains hyaluronic acid!

What price should this mask sell for?

US Dollars a piece?

You wish!

US Dollars a piece! No bargaining!

In front of this business, drug trafficking is nothing!

However, what this big star wants...

Zhou Mo Sen hesitated for a moment, and ultimately didn’t speak.

He drove away.

Nicole Kidman laughed because she could tell.

Dr. Zhou was already tempted.

Actually, it’s not just because of Daddario.

In a previous event, Nicole also met Madam Ribery.

The originally old and fading French woman looked radiant.

That face seemed twenty or thirty years younger.

Of course, Madam Ribery bluntly said she went to Dr. Zhou’s clinic.

It became the focal point of discussions.

The combination of the two made Nicole Kidman certain.

Zhou Mo Sen must understand some mysterious powers.

Otherwise, how could his cosmetic surgery be so successful?

Dr. Zhou, now it’s your turn to help me regain my youth.

...

It must be admitted.

Zhou Mo Sen was indeed tempted.

To have the world’s most beautiful face endorse my face mask.

Too tempting.

Yet Zhou Mo Sen didn’t immediately agree to Nicole Kidman.

Because he himself didn’t understand any Oriental mysterious powers.

I’m a doctor.

I’m not a Mao Shan Daoist.

I’m also not a big bluff.

But, isn’t this Nicole Kidman wanting me to bluff her on her own?

If I don’t bluff her.

Wouldn’t it be too impolite?

So, let’s bluff.

I, Zhou Mo Sen, bluff her, and can still talk some scientific sense.

But, how to bluff her?

Zhou Mo Sen felt he lacked the methods.

So, he needed to learn.

...

San Diego’s Chinatown doesn’t have a big reputation.

But it has a fairly long history.

It’s located in the city center.

Of course, this isn’t a good place.

The city centers in American cities are often synonymous with oldness, dirtiness, and chaos.

Zhou Mo Sen came here and inquired a bit.

An old lady guided him.

"Mr. Zhou, you should attend a class."

"Okay."

The old lady was quite enthusiastic, speaking Cantonese, claiming to be a third-generation Chinese.

Zhou Mo Sen was polite too, directly calling her Auntie.

Before long, they arrived at a Daoist temple.

Many believers were sitting cross-legged on the ground.

A Daoist-dressed figure was at the forefront.

Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, with a dignified presence.

Zhou Mo Sen couldn’t help but feel that this guy’s appearance was not bad.

He knew what this spooky place was, he came to learn the Oriental mysterious powers.

Seeking only the superficial knowledge, enough to bluff that big star.

Unexpectedly, a girl claiming to be the great disciple appeared.

Holding a microphone, saying she would demonstrate divine possession.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhou Mo Sen was stunned.

"I am the Holy Sage of Buddhism, Confucius."

Holy shit!

Zhou Mo Sen only felt a tingling on his scalp.

Leftover Buddhist Daoist? American enhanced version?

The following were all kinds of incantations and sayings.

Zhou Mo Sen’s scalp tingled increasingly.

"Auntie, I’ll just stop here."

Unable to hold it, planning to make a getaway.

Surprisingly, the Auntie brought someone along.

"Young man, don’t rush. I specially found someone to explain our doctrines to you."

Zhou Mo Sen looked at that person, missing a front tooth with a bright smile.

She probably was a beauty thirty years ago.

"Maybe not."

The Auntie was very enthusiastic, "No, no, I worry I can’t explain it well, so I especially found her."

"Is she that impressive?"

"Of course, she graduated from high school."

High school?

Zhou Mo Sen straightforwardly said, "Auntie, I’m a doctor, university, master’s degree..."

Without waiting for Zhou Mo Sen to finish his education credentials.

The Auntie interrupted him, affectionately saying, "That’s why I value you so much! My sister here doesn’t come out easily!"

Zhou Mo Sen, after hearing...

Auntie, you really don’t have to value me this much.

He fled from the temple like escaping.

If those two Aunts weren’t lacking in physical strength, they would have surely dragged Zhou Mo Sen back for proper lessons.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo Sen felt he had more or less grasped some superficial knowledge.

Just enough to bluff a big star.

Unexpectedly, not far away, he ran into someone familiar.

"Officer Hank?"

"Huh? Dr. Zhou, what are you doing here?"

The doctor and patient met outside the hospital.
