Chapter 414: The Prelude to Change (4)

How much personal wealth are you willing to pay for restoring your prime and extending your life by five times?Multiple Choice: Options: 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%. (Choose wisely.) )

With five times your lifespan, how are you going to spend that extra time?

After having five times your life, will you still choose to have children?

“……。 ”

A set of questionnaires about life extension gene technology suddenly appeared on the official website of Xingyao Group, which immediately caused an uproar around the world.

What is Xingyao Group doing here? Could it be that the life-extending gene technology has been successfully developed? Is it building momentum now?

All of a sudden, the global media reprinted the content of the 'survey' questionnaire of the Star Wealth Group, as well as related speculation.

"Xingyao Group has adjusted the charging model of life extension gene technology, and a breakthrough in human life extension technology is imminent. ”

"Genius scientist Zhou Xing has created another miracle and broken through the gene technology for life extension. ”

"Xingyao Group indirectly announced the successful development of gene technology and solicited 'price proposals' from all over the world. ”

"Xingyao Group's big move - life extension gene product sales research public opinion, human life will be extended to 500 years old. ”

"What price are you willing to pay for extending your life by five times? Xingyao Group is asking you. ”

“……。 ”

All sorts of eye-catching headlines have popped up on the front pages of major news outlets around the world.

The reports of major media around the world are like detonating a nuclear bomb, knocking people all over the world stupid.

Countless people are crazy about the 500-year-old life extension, which has attracted countless people around the world to visit the official website of Xingyao Group, or to participate in research, or to find clues about life extension gene technology.

In the headquarters building and technology center of Xingyao Group, everyone was nervously busy, as if they were dealing with a war, everyone sat at the computer desk, or nervously typing on the keyboard, or staring intently at the data graph, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

Chen Fan testified about the technology center, his eyes were firmly fixed on a large monitoring screen full of various data showing the status of the official website.

Mr. Chen, the current number of visitors has exceeded 3 billion. There is a lag on the website. Suddenly, a technician reported to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's face changed, and the most worrying thing finally happened.

The longevity gene technology has attracted the attention of the world, and they have rushed to the official website of Xingyao Group, causing network congestion, even if the server they use is the latest model of photonic server, which cannot accommodate so many users at the same time.

"Mr. Chen, the access delay is still up to 0.5 seconds, and the growth rate of the freezer is very obvious. The technician looked at Chen Fan anxiously reporting.

Chen Fan stared at the big screen, and immediately ordered: "Immediately jump out of all users who have completed the questionnaire." ”

"Understood!" the technician responded, and the operating keyboard was immediately processed.

"Mr. Chen, there are a large number of abnormal access links, and our official website has been hacked. The next second, another technician spoke up.

Hearing this, Chen Fan's face turned dark, and this group of guys was about to pick a time.

"Enable the 'Smart Core' defense module to block these abnormal links. Chen Fan stared at the display screen and ordered loudly.

"Understood. "The technician did what he was told.

The security system developed based on Zhiyu can intelligently identify and isolate a large number of illegal intrusions.

"What's going on, Mr. Chen, the 'smart core' doesn't seem to work, a large number of 'illegal links' still exist, and the lag delay still reaches 1.7 seconds, and it continues to increase. ”

Chen Fan stared at the technical surveillance screen, with a solemn look on his face,

Things are really not so simple, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, countless netizens around the world visit the official website of Xingyao Group, if the official website of Xingyao Group collapses at this time, then the shame will really be lost to the world.

Chen Fan's face turned pale and became extremely ugly, they must have used a large supercomputer, which is why these abnormal links are so difficult.

So the technicians looked at Chen Fan one after another, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

The Star Jewel Group is now fighting with the world's top hackers, as well as those countries that are hostile to the Star Shine Group, and they are taking advantage of this time to gather together to make trouble, and this time they are in danger.

"Brother Chen, why don't I call Mr. Zhou to deal with it. A technician close to Chen Fan looked at Chen Fan and said cautiously.

Hearing this, Chen Fan showed a wry smile on his face, looking for Mr. Zhou if there is a technical problem, this seems to be the usual practice of everyone in Xingyao Group, and it is not ashamed, but why is it so uncomfortable!

Just as Chen Fan was about to accept this proposal, the data on the monitoring screen suddenly changed dramatically.

"What's going on? All anomalous links have been terminated. ”

"Did Mr. Zhou make a move! Sure enough, if he didn't make a move, he just made a move. ”

"Haha! This breath is so cool! Mr. Zhou is mighty!"

“……。 ”

All the technicians in the technology center looked at the large monitoring screen and celebrated with joy.

Chen Fan smiled helplessly, he really didn't have any technical authority in front of this group of guys! However, with such a leader as Zhou Xing, he was as radiant as the sun, and no one could do anything about it

Replace it!

With just the effort of speaking, Mr. Zhou solved such a big trouble, this efficiency is really not something that people can do! Chen Fan looked at the monitoring data that had returned to normal, breathed a sigh of relief, and admired Zhou Xing even more in his heart.

Xingyao Group Headquarters Building, Underground Laboratory.

Zhou Xing sat in front of the holographic test bench, focusing on the design of a part of the drawing, the holographic screen under the pinch of his fingers, constantly transformed, a strange shape, the structure of the precision parts drawings continue to improve.

"Boss, I just dealt with a minor nuisance. Zhou Xiaozhi, who was standing next to the test bench to assist, suddenly reported to Zhou Xing.

"Hmm, what's the little trouble?" Zhou Xing asked casually, focusing on what was in front of him.

"Our official website has been hacked by a lot of hackers, and I blocked them all back. Zhou Xiaozhi replied as if meritorious.

"Well, you can help me calculate the power of this concentrator. As if he hadn't heard, Zhou Xing nodded his head and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and then calculated the design drawings modified by Zhou Xing.

"Boss, the maximum power of this concentrator can volatilize to 572,000 horsepower, which is still some distance from the requirements you set!" After a few seconds, Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, the thing was designed by himself, and he had a rough base in his heart.

"Boss, you should follow my advice and directly increase the size of the spaceship, so that there is more room for design. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and woke up.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused: "No, the first starship is a 'classic' with mass production, and it will have to undertake a major 'mission' in the future, and the volume should not be too large." ”

"En!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, understanding what Zhou Xing meant, and stopped persuading.

Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen and seriously thought about the improvement direction of the concentrator.

In the future interstellar era, nuclear fusion power spacecraft will inevitably be the mainstream of human civilization, however, there are two main directions for the use of nuclear fusion power.

The first type: because the universe belongs to a vacuum environment, there is no medium such as water or air, propeller propulsion cannot be used, but must use jet mode, nuclear fusion in the reactor produces a large amount of heat energy, the propellant (such as liquid hydrogen) is injected, the propellant will be heated and rapidly expanded, and then ejected from the tail of the engine at high speed to generate thrust.

This fusion power is simple to achieve, but its utilization and propulsion losses are severe, and at the same time, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory pursuit in terms of speed.

Second, the fusion reactor produces a lot of high-speed moving ions, and these high-energy particles move very fast, so that they can use a magnetic field to control the direction of their ejection, which is similar to the principle of ion rockets, ejecting high-speed moving ions from the tail of the rocket, causing the spacecraft to produce recoil motion.

The advantages of this method are high propulsion, excellent speed, no need to carry any media, and strong sustainability, however, it also has some disadvantages, such as the need to re-optimize the ion flow of the fusion reactor, the demanding engine materials, not so easy to manufacture, and the construction can be very expensive.

From the perspective of utilization, the first one should be chosen, which can push human civilization to the interstellar age faster, but, in the long run, the second engine is the most important, although it is difficult to manufacture and has high value, but as long as its efficacy is optimized to the extreme, and large-scale mass production can greatly reduce its cost.

"Boss, if one concentrator does not meet the requirements, I recommend following two, or four miniaturized condensers. Zhou Xiaozhi proposed to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing frowned: "In this way, we don't design the hull diagram to tear down and start over." ”

"Boss, the overall performance of the dual power system, or the quad power system will be much better than the single power system, if you want to meet your design requirements, I still recommend taking multiple power systems. Zhou Xiaozhi replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing immediately fell silent.

This point proposed by Zhou Xiaozhi has been emphasized before the implementation of the design, but if it is a multi-power system, the overall cost of the spacecraft will increase by more than 25%.

In the future, if this spacecraft is mass-produced, the cost will be an astronomical amount, and Zhou Xing will not be able to make a decision for a long time.

Zhou Xing sighed and decided, "Let's do the math again!" or make a new design. ”

"Okay, boss. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.

Zhou Xing nodded and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "By the way, what did you say just now?"

"Boss, there were a large number of hackers who hacked our official website before, and I solved them. Zhou Xiaozhi asked Zhou Xing for merit.

"Well, why did they hack into our official website?" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, how is the market survey going? How many people participated?"

"Boss, 790 million questionnaires have been collected, and the number of participants is now increasing by 100,000 per second. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

Zhou Xing nodded and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "Hmm, what is their general 'expectation' of the price of life extension gene technology?"

"Boss, 27.22% of people choose: 5%, 49.37% of people choose: 10, 15.71% of people choose: 20%, 7.7% of people choose: 30%, from the current trend, the people can generally accept: 10% of personal wealth 'selling price'. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile on his face, so many people participated in this survey, and then, with the influence of this 'market survey', people's ability to accept the 'market price' of life extension genes will be much better!

"It's good to release this data to the public in real time to warm up for the next press conference. Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction.

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded happily.

"Boss, do you need me to push it a little more? Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.

Zhou Xing thought for a moment, nodded and explained: "Yes, but you have to be careful not to let others find your traces." ”

"Understand, Ash will be very careful, no one will be able to find me. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and said with a little smugness.

Immediately, the human Internet, game websites, film and television websites, news websites, mobile networks, ,...... , the topic of discussing Xingyao Group's life-extending gene technology suddenly increased, and those 'marginal people' who didn't notice the 'news' quickly led to the topic of life-extending gene technology.

In less than a day, Xingyao Group's questionnaire on the market survey of the 'selling price' of life extension gene technology immediately became a well-known event for all mankind.

At the same time, as Zhou Xiaozhi said, this kind of 'fueling' move, no country, that force discovered its existence, even those top hackers who invaded the official website of Xingyao Group, no one could know about Zhou Xiaozhi's existence.

Moreover, Zhou Xing's 'fame' in the human world is too prosperous, he has been involved in many fields, but in the field of computers, artificial intelligence is the direction of his specialized research, and he created a guiding paper that can lead the development of artificial intelligence when he was in college: 'Two Principles and Variables', and then, he wrote a set of 'intelligent language'.

The top hackers suddenly encountered a large-scale 'failure' in a big move to enter the official website of Xingyao Group, and no one would have thought that their opponent was another 'person' except for accepting their fate and admiring Zhou Xing's ability.

The news about the price of Xingyao Group's market-adjusted life-extending gene products has gone viral all over the world, and the world political landscape has suddenly become delicate.

More and more countries' political attitudes have become clear, and the move to leave the United States and enter China has suddenly become clear, but the results will not be really clear until Xingyao Group officially announces a breakthrough in life-extending gene technology.

The trend of the world's major stock markets has suddenly become dangerous, as if a global economic crisis is about to come, and the stock market led by the US Federation has suddenly fallen sharply as a whole, and countless funds in the market have fled and frantically withdrawn.

Now the eyes of the world are only focused on Xingyao Group, waiting for its next move.
