Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 160 Targeted Training

After Rick left, Yuanze lay alone on his bed in the dormitory.

"I don't know what happened to Ji Xuefeng. Since the strongest man Ji Chengbin died in battle, I have basically not been able to contact him. And Ji Xueran is the same. She is a little better than Ji Xuefeng, but I often can't contact her either."

I also asked Li Haisheng, and he also felt that the Ji family's calmness during this period was a bit abnormal. Other families had made various big moves, but the strongest family had no reaction at all.

The Kong family is now on the rise. In the face of a worsening situation, they are still actively expanding and constantly cooperating and forming alliances with others. Anyone with a discerning eye thinks that they are already the largest family in China.

The Li family was relatively weak, but this environment actually promoted the expansion of the medical field. In addition, Li Weiming suddenly appeared and was promoted in advance, and the separation of Li Haisheng actually played a stabilizing role.

The Zhang family was the weakest, so they adopted a completely different strategy, pardoning all members who had committed mistakes. The core industries continued to be controlled by the orthodox descendants, while the other descendants of the concubines went their separate ways and each found a wise master.

However, Yuanze didn't feel anything about these news. They were not even as shocking as the one brought to him by that gangster-like vendor.

After all, those who have to consider these things are basically people at the level of current family heads, as well as some leaders of Chinese institutions.

I should work hard to make up for the shortcomings I have discovered during this period, starting with recovery training.

Astra has also developed a training plan to improve recovery ability, and each project is very detailed.

But it wasn't until he arrived at the simulation tower that Yuanze realized that he had underestimated the intensity of this training:
1. Cell-level training
1.1 Improve cell metabolism
1.1.1 Training Method
Repeatedly hitting a part of the body.

1.1.2 Target
Through source power, the elimination of severely damaged cells is accelerated so that new cells can be replaced in time.

1.1.3 Specific steps
Choose a target area, such as the biceps, and once you've mastered that area, switch to another area.

Use moderate external force to perform repeated heavy blows while using source force to stimulate cell metabolism.

After training, promote the generation of new cells through rest and nutritional supplementation.

1.2 Improve cell repair ability
1.2.1 Training Method
Tap a body part repeatedly.

1.2.2 Target
Use source power to speed up the repair of common injuries and restore cells to normal function.

1.2.3 Specific steps (same as above)

II. Organizational Level

"Astra, come out here and give me dozens of projects. Are you going to train me to death?"

"Eh? Didn't your mental strength improve significantly? Why didn't your IQ go up?"

"What do you mean? Training should be gradual and you can't mess around like this, right?"

"What's wrong with that? The training has always been of this intensity. Don't talk nonsense. Training is always very hard. Sometimes you have to look for the reasons in yourself and whether you have trained well over the years."

"I'm really impressed by you. Why are you just imitating the words of some idiots on the Internet?"

But this is Yuanze pushing himself. After all, the requirement he and Astra put forward is to "reach the maximum intensity without mental collapse."

Although there will be no actual physical damage during the training in the simulation tower, it will put a huge mental burden on the body.

In other words, with the quality of Yuanze's current mental strength, this level of training intensity is something his body cannot withstand in the real world.

"Come on." Yuanze took a deep breath and nodded.

Suddenly, the scene around him changed, and Yuanze found himself fixed on a cold metal chair with his limbs tied tightly with bolts.

The training started, and the mechanical arm slowly rose up and attacked Yuan Ze's body, hitting his fingers hard.
Then he clamped each finger with a clamp, and the severe pain from his fingers to his heart almost made him faint. He clenched his teeth and used the "flow" to feel the state of each cell on his fingertips. The black ones were completely destroyed cells, and the dark red ones were severely damaged cells.

These unrepairable cells release large amounts of specific signaling molecules called DAMPs, which recruit cells of the immune system.

This allows more immune cells to arrive at the wound, inspect the abnormally exposed molecules, and begin the cleanup process.

After the damaged cells are cleared, the ECM components in the muscle tissue are remodeled, and the expression of substances such as metalloproteinases and fibronectin is upregulated.

After sensing this, the surrounding healthy cells proliferate to fill the gaps and restore the integrity and function of the tissue; some also activate muscle satellite cells and differentiate into myoblasts.

These newly born myoblasts further fuse to form new muscle fibers, ultimately restoring muscle function.

With the assistance of Astra, the cleaning and repair process was vividly displayed in front of Yuanze, even making him forget the pain.

So, after grasping the general process of cell clearance and repair, Yuanze began to accelerate this process.

He used the source of power to transform the mitochondria in a small number of myocardial cells, allowing the myocardial cells to receive more energy and increase blood supply to the injured area.

Then Yuanze continued to transform the lysosomes in the macrophages, accelerating the rate of cell phagocytosis.

This speed is still far less than the speed of destruction.

The congestion in the fingertips muscles begins to increase, and with the consumption of oxygen and oxidation of hemoglobin, the color of the congestion gradually deepens from red to dark blue.

And the simulation training showed no sign of stopping. As long as he could not meet the minimum requirements of cell metabolism training, he would have to endure this pain.

Yuanze can only do something about the newborn cells.

He remembered that source power could imitate the effects of some substances, just like the last "virtualized" source warrior. One of the abilities he developed was to transform source power to obtain its characteristics.

Cells are also a kind of substance, but they are more complicated than simple metals. It is still possible to replace their functions in a short time.

So if after the cleansing, you use source power to temporarily replace the cells that failed to be generated in time, it should be a way to maintain combat effectiveness.

But Yuanze discovered the disadvantages of this approach.

Once the injured tissue area is too large, when the opponent hits continuously, part of the source power that maintains the source power will be lost in large quantities, thereby greatly reducing one's own combat effectiveness.

"You don't have to do this. You may not know that after your skeletal muscle is injured, the damaged satellite cells will upregulate the expression of a number of protein molecules that can regulate gene expression."

"You mean I can increase the levels of various proteins or expression factors involved in cell regeneration throughout the body, thereby speeding up the entire recovery process."

"But when we are fighting, we can't be distracted by using energy to simulate protein molecules, which is a delicate task. It can be applied to war preparations."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"You thought of accelerating blood flow and source force simulation. Why not use source force to simulate blood vessels to ensure smooth blood flow? This is not difficult."

Yuanze nodded and put it into use immediately. The effect was very significant, increasing the repair efficiency by at least ten times.

Yuanze's fingers began to gradually regain their color. The blood vessels simulated by the source force were under heavy pressure in the body, but they were still working very stably, and their toughness and elasticity were much higher.

At this time, Yuan Ze was finally liberated, and the Simulation Tower also released its restraints on him. His whole body seemed to be soaked in water, and it was wet.

But what is gratifying is that he has just taken the final step to reach the peak level 2.

I believe that after completing this hard training, I will be able to break through the shackles of the extraordinary level.

Because what limits most Source Warriors from breaking through the shackles of the extraordinary is the lack of physical strength.

After a short rest, Yuanze put on his helmet again and began to gradually train every inch of muscles and bones in his body.

We are about to enter the important second-year assessment, so we need to work harder to improve our abilities. The content of this chapter is a bit trivial.
