Chapter 18: The True Purpose
What does Zhou Ming's so-called "medical empire" look like?
An island.
He plans to spend a sum of money to buy a 100,000-square-kilometer area of shallow water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean from the United Nations or from a small country.
Invest another 10 trillion yuan, hire dozens of dredgers, blow land and reclaim the sea, and create a 10,000-square-kilometer island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Then, on this island, build a medical empire that serves patients all over the world.
Sovereign and independent, it does not belong to the government of any country, and is equivalent to a separate country...... The core pillar industry is, of course, medical services.
In this way, Zhou Ming bypassed all restrictions, and in the medical field, he could show his strength and avoid all kinds of restrictions.
You can also avoid taxes, and you don't have to hand over a considerable part of your profits to the state and turn them into working for the state.
In short, no matter what the protagonist of the book is, generally to this point, the country has become a ceiling that restricts the development of the protagonist.
Why not go to Mars and settle and occupy a planet yourself?
A friend suggested this.
Because for a figure like Zhou Ming, the living conditions of a mere island, an area of 10,000 square kilometers, and a leader with a population of one million are too cold.
Immigrating to an alien planet, Zhou Ming did have plans in this regard.
It's just that with the current level of science and technology of the earth, it will take about 10 years to enter the age of interstellar exploration.
Moreover, to immigrate to the aliens, you must find a planet similar to the earth, with water and life, so that it is convenient to carry out environmental modification.
Like Mars, a barren planet with scarce water resources, the transformation task is extremely large, very time-consuming and laborious, Zhou Ming still plans to find a ready-made life planet is more convenient.
But that would take time, long interstellar migrations, and with current spaceship power technology, it could take hundreds of years to sail.
Therefore, Zhou Ming still has to wait, and when science and technology explode, the earth has created a faster-than-light spaceship and entered the age of rapid exploration.
Or wait until his own strength swells and is strong enough to travel through time and space and cross tens of millions of light years in one step, and at that time, he will definitely take his family and immigrate to the aliens.
And now, Zhou Ming will still stay on Earth for a while, not considering any immigration to aliens.
So what has he done with Chuangshen Technology in his hands recently?
How did he become an idealist and fall in love with the so-called "bad guys"?
Why did his IQ drop all of a sudden?
In fact, he did it with his own considerations.
He's trying to avoid something catastrophic.
Because many people don't realize what "immortality" means to human beings?
I had no idea what the destructive power was within!
Take the ancient "emperors" who pursued immortality as an example, what did they do in order to seek immortality?
For example, Qin Shi Huang sent millions of soldiers and civilians to build sea ships, sent Xu Fu, a priest, and brought 3,000 boys and girls to search for overseas elixirs, but there was no news for seven years...... Huge investment is waiting for nothing.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to seek immortality and trust Fang Shi, a generation of British masters was played by Fang Shi, and finally caused a witch curse, killing tens of thousands of people, and the queen and crown prince were not spared.
These tragedies that happened in ancient times are enough to prove what "immortality" really means?
Desire amplifier.
For many individuals, immortality is an amplifier of desire, and some people will do whatever it takes to achieve immortality.
After attaining immortality, the desires of certain individuals will expand and amplify infinitely, resulting in tremendous destructive power.
Of course, if it is an ordinary person with little energy, he will live for hundreds or thousands of years, and the impact will not be too great, and there will be no destructive power.
If it is a businessman with small assets, who lives for hundreds or thousands of years, he may build a huge family business and become a capital giant, and he will always stand...... In fact, there is no need to worry too much, after entering the age of interstellar exploration in the future, the business model will change dramatically, the opportunities will increase significantly, and the so-called capital giants will not lead to the solidification of the class.
But there is one group, Zhou Ming is particularly worried and guarded.
even in front of the public, deliberately acting as an "idealist", to keep all the bad guys out of the door of immortality.
In fact, this is just an excuse and a pretense, and Zhou Ming's purpose in doing this is actually to restrict a class.
What class?
All personnel, including corrupt officials, clean officials, capable officials, mediocre officials, etc.!
Why?
Did Zhou Ming eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and actually dare to provoke such a powerful harmonious force?
Don't he want to live?
Of course not.
He is taking precautions to avoid suppressing the desires of most people in this class after the launch of life extension medical services, preventing them from infinitely amplifying and finally causing unimaginable damage.
Because in the face of immortality, no matter how righteous the three views are and how kind-hearted a person is, his heart will be occupied by all kinds of desires, and his imagination will be over, producing all kinds of illusions and longings, and he can't hold back or calm down.
Some people, at this moment, have fallen from good people to bad people.
It was Zhou Ming himself, his initial vision of immortality was almost the same, such as embracing countless riches, collecting three thousand beauties in the harem, dominating the earth, conquering the universe, and so on...... Zhou Ming himself had these thoughts.
Infinite lifespan equals infinite desire.
It has nothing to do with the good or bad of people, this is the most basic human nature.
From the perspective of the size of the destructive power, limiting the expansion of the desire of that class is what Zhou Ming must do out of a sense of responsibility after the launch of Chuangshen Technology's life extension service.
That is, no matter what kind of public official he is, he is required to be below a certain level, older than 100 years old, and then ruled out that he is a corrupt official, Chuangshen Technology will agree to provide him with life-extending medical services.
Harmony and harmony!
Immediately give Chuangshen technology harmony!
Obviously, these constraints of Chuangshen Technology will definitely attract strong harmony.
Therefore, Zhou Ming plans to build an island overseas and migrate Chuangshen Technology to avoid the interference of harmonious forces.
Of course, the restrictions of Chuangshen Technology on that class will not last long, because with the continuous outbreak of technological bombs and the continuous and rapid development of science and technology in country Z, the field of medical science and technology will continue to make breakthroughs sooner or later, and finally catch up with Chuangshen Technology, and there will be other medical institutions that will also research human life extension technology.
Chuangshen Technology has monopolized the life extension market for only between 100 and 200 years.
But that's enough.
With the buffer of this time, when everyone realizes that immortality does not mean that you can do whatever you want, it does not mean that you are the only one in the world, it does not mean that you must be able to go to heaven, and after all your wishes come true, after passing the expansion period and returning to a normal state of mind, the world will continue to operate normally, stable and harmonious.
And this is the real purpose of Zhou Ming's recent series of actions.
