Chapter 413: The Prelude to Change (3)
The laboratory suddenly fell silent, and they each thought about their own business, thinking about the application of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the future direction of world politics, and how to create the right time.
"Chief, Elder Xu, I have a reluctant request, I hope to get your support. Zhou Xing suddenly broke the silence, looked at the three leaders, and asked.
Out of apology to compensate Zhou Xing for inventing controlled nuclear fusion and being 'hidden', the chief nodded happily: "Oh, you can say anything, the country will try its best to meet your requirements." ”
"The success of controlled nuclear fusion means that the shackles of mankind towards interstellar civilization no longer exist, and the Star Glory Group will look beyond the earth in the future, so I want to get the support of the state. Zhou Xing explained with a smile.
With the financial resources of Xingyao Group and Zhou Xing's R&D capabilities, even if there is no national policy support, it is a very simple matter to enter space.
The chief looked at Zhou Xing, frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Hmm, what kind of support do you need?"
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and replied, "Full support." ”
Listening to Zhou Xing's words, the chief frowned, and the incomprehension in his eyes became even stronger.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing explained with a smile: "With the promotion of photonic computers, biological 3D printers, robots, and new materials, the total productivity of society has increased hundreds of times, and the overcapacity of industrial products and excessive waste of resources have become the biggest problem in human society." ”
The chief and Elder Xu, Elder Wen glanced at each other and nodded.
The main reason for the increasingly fierce global trade competition is the rapid development of manufacturing technology, but the global market is so large, resulting in increasingly intensifying trade frictions between countries.
Zhou Xing looked at the chief, Xu Lao, and said ambitiously: "Human society lacks a large-scale industry to guide the world's excess productivity, and the aerospace field just meets this requirement, so I hope that the government can come out to preside over the overall situation and lead all countries to march into the space field in an all-round way." ”
Hearing this, the chief fell silent.
Zhou Xing's idea is very good, which not only solves the problem of global overproductivity, but also is very in line with the future development of mankind.
However, it is not ordinarily difficult to lead the world to develop in the field of aerospace, and seven or eight years have passed since the project of jointly building a lunar base around the world, but the project has not seen any major improvement, and the value of the 'interests' of developing space is far from reaching the trend.
Although the aerospace industry is related to the future of mankind, it is not the most important thing at the moment. Xu Lao looked at Zhou Xing and persuaded.
Leading the world to invest in the aerospace field, whether China has this influence or not, is still two words, and now the 'confrontation' between China and the United States has restrained a lot of the country's 'energy', at this time, Zhou Xing's proposal is obviously out of place.
"Yes, Xiaoxing, you have to eat one bite at a time, and the current country does not have the ability to lead the countries of the world to support your plan. Wen Lao smiled bitterly and persuaded Zhou Xingdao together.
The chief looked at Zhou Xing apologetically, his opinion was the same as that of Xu Lao and Wen Lao, although Zhou Xing's plan was very good, ambitious, and had unlimited prospects, but it was not suitable for the current international situation.
Listening to the words of Xu Lao and Wen Lao, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, not discouraged.
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way to solve this problem, but I still can't do without the support of the state." ”
Xu Lao looked at Zhou Xing in surprise, and blurted out, "Hmm, what can you do?"
Zhou Xing looked at Mr. Xu with a smile on his face and introduced: "A special 'charging model' will be launched for life extension gene products, so as to lead global resources to invest in the aerospace field." ”
Hearing this, the chief, Xu Lao, and Wen Lao looked at each other, and they were stunned by Zhou Xing for a while, and they didn't understand his thoughts.
"You explain in detail. The chief took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
Zhou Xing nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "The success of the research of longevity gene technology is imminent, this is a technology that all mankind needs, if Xingyao Group declares to the world that all the fees collected will be used for the development of the aerospace industry and seek living space for the future of mankind, it will be strongly supported by the general public!"
"Yes, if Xingyao Group can get the support of many people in doing this, how much will you charge?"
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and replied: "If the development of life-extending gene medicine is successful, then these services will charge 20% of the personal wealth of all users. ”
"What?"
"Why do you charge so high?"
"Why do you need to charge on a ratio model?"
Hearing this, the chief, Xu Lao, and Wen Lao were all shocked, looked at Zhou Xing with wide eyes, and asked silently.
20% of personal wealth, if the whole world buys Xingyao Group's life-extending gene medicine, it is equivalent to Xingyao Group will control 20% of the wealth of all mankind in one fell swoop with life-extending gene technology, what a huge wealth it will be!
Zhou Xing smiled, looked at Xu Lao and them, and asked rhetorically: "Life expectancy is priceless, after using life-extending gene technology, human beings can extend their lifespan several times, isn't it very reasonable to charge 20% of personal wealth?"
After listening to Zhou Xing's answer, Xu Lao couldn't refute it, and sighed: "20% of personal wealth is a tolerable expense for ordinary people, but for those billionaires and the world's richest people, this is an astonishing amount!"
"Xu Lao, life is priceless, should be treated equally, 1% of the people control 50% of the world's wealth, and more and more rich, in fact, I should charge a higher rate for them, because life extension gene technology will continue their time to control resources, if this wealth is fully developed in the aerospace field, it will create more jobs for the world, improve the income of the global poor, which is equivalent to a wealth redistribution. Zhou Xing replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Laowei was stunned for a moment, his face showed a look of approval, and he was persuaded by Zhou Xing's explanation.
The inequality between the rich and the poor has always been an uncontrollable situation in human society, there are many reasons for the gap between the rich and the poor, there are many different factors, there are gaps between the rich and the poor in various countries and regions, and the gap between the rich and the poor is not all unreasonable phenomena,...... The inequality between the rich and the poor is an inextricable obstacle to the development of human society.
According to authoritative surveys, in terms of the distribution of wealth in human society, people who hold the bottom 50% of the world's wealth have less than 1% of the total wealth. In comparison, the top 10% of the world's rich people hold 87% of the world's wealth, and the top 1% alone own 48.2% of the world's wealth.
Once the life-extending gene technology is developed, it will exacerbate the curing time of the world's inequality between the rich and the poor, and Zhou Xing's approach is equivalent to plundering 20% of the wealth of the world's rich with one fell swoop, and applying it to the aerospace field, while benefiting low-income people around the world.
"This method is good, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to implement!" Old Xu frowned, feeling that Zhou Xing's idea was a little whimsical.
"Yes, not to mention whether this charging model will cause a huge backlash, just counting personal wealth and collecting it proportionally is something that no technology can accomplish. Wen Lao nodded with a wry smile and said disfavorably.
Zhou Xing shook his head with a smile, and said confidently: "Since I can mention this charging model, if I can get the full support of the state, I will definitely have a way to do it." ”
Hearing this, the chief fell silent again.
Since Zhou Xing dares to say such a thing, then he must have a way to do it, but this charging model is bound to cause huge dissatisfaction all over the world.
For the 1% of the population who control 50% of the world's wealth, Zhou Xing's practice is completely 'robbing' their wealth in an 'open-minded' manner, and the slightest carelessness will bring him a huge threat to his life.
"This fee rate is too big, can you reduce it a little more, 2% will be more secure. The chief looked at Zhou Xing and suggested.
Zhou Xing nodded and smiled, shouting the price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground, it is estimated that no one can stand it at once 20%.
"Understood, however, 2% is a bit low, and I believe that many people are willing to pay a higher price for the role of life extension gene technology. Zhou Xing explained with a smile.
Listening to Zhou Xing's words, the chief had a headache, in order to prolong their lives, many people are willing to pay a huge price, but they will not sit back and watch this huge wealth fall into the pocket of Xingyao Group, you know, the world's other populous country - India, and another continent - Africa, only occupy 2% of the world's wealth!
For a moment, he couldn't think of an excuse to persuade Zhou Xing, and the chief only delayed and persuaded: "Well, you can do a detailed investigation of the specific charges! The live experiments on life extension gene technology have not yet been conducted, and it is still a little early to say this." ”
Zhou Xing smiled and nodded: "I understand, I will definitely complete the breakthrough of the life extension gene project as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, the chief is in a big trouble, controllable nuclear fusion is already a big trouble, life extension gene technology is another big trouble, and it is a bit busy to solve two 'big troubles' that have led to earth-shaking changes in the world pattern in a row!
"Well, it's time to see it, and we've all watched it, so be it for today!" the chief nodded goodbye to Zhou Xing, he didn't want to stay any longer.
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll send you!"
The chief nodded, turned around and left quickly, he was afraid that Zhou Xing would make some kind of moth if he stayed.
Soon, under Zhou Xing's gift, the chief, Xu Lao, Wen Lao and others sat in the night dancers and flew away from the headquarters building of Xingyao Group in a low-key manner.
Seeing the back of the convoy turning into black spots and disappearing in the sky, Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Zhou, why did they leave in such a hurry, chief?" I carefully prepared the speech,......。 ”
"The chief has a lot of opportunities, maybe there are more important things to deal with!" Zhou Xing showed a happy smile on his face.
Both controlled nuclear fusion and life-extending gene technologies have been explained to the chief, and then as long as the life-extending gene technology is ready to be announced, and the time is 'right' to make it, then these two technologies can be unveiled publicly.
"Oh!" Yang Minghua nodded in disappointment.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Yang Minghua, and Lin Wei ordered: "Let's have a meeting! Call Chen Fan, Liwu, and Zhou Bin over." ”
"Okay!" Yang Minghua was stunned for a moment and happily agreed.
Soon, the personnel named by Zhou Xing gathered in the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters.
A meeting related to the development trend of human civilization began under the chairmanship of Zhou Xing.
————————
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Advanced photonic computers, convenient biological 3D printers, speeding flying cars, and intelligent robots that are like all-round helpers,...... With the passage of time, human society has become more and more adaptable to the changes brought about by these advanced technological products.
Flying cars were speeding one after another, and the wide streets were filled with only pedestrians and bicycles, and four-wheeled cars became rare.
In the secluded park, the 'staff' who tidy up the flowers and plants, and the dog walkers have all become robots, the aunts who used to dance in the square, and the young people who played ball and ran disappeared, and there were only two or three kittens left in the whole park.
"Uncle Chen, morning!" a young man walking his dog greeted an old man who was over the age of six.
"Morning, Xiao Liu, walking the dog by yourself again! It's rare for a young person like you to see it now!" Chen Bo looked at the sparsely populated park and said with emotion.
"Hehe! Walking the dog by yourself will be better, Uncle Chen, why don't you enter the hibernation cabin! Isn't Xingyao Group researching life-extending gene technology!" Xiao Liu touched his dog's head and asked puzzled.
"Forget it! It is contrary to common sense to use technology to prolong life, this kind of technology cannot succeed, rather than hiding in the 'iron coffin' as a 'living dead', I should enjoy a long more 'twilight years'. Uncle Chen shook his head with a smile and said with a look of disdain.
"The benefit of fewer people and fewer people is that now the air is much clearer and the environment is cleaner. Uncle Chen took a deep breath greedily and said with great enjoyment.
"Hehe, this is the result of the development of science and technology! Sanitation robots clean up, and the air is better because there is no car exhaust. Xiao Liu explained with a smile.
"Yes, your generation is so lucky! Science and technology have progressed so fast in recent years, I really want to see what kind of life human beings will live in the future!" Chen Bo looked at Xiao Liu with envy.
"Uncle Chen, there is a column on the official website of Xingyao Group, which seems to be a poll questionnaire related to longevity gene technology, and longevity gene technology seems to be really eyebrow-probrating! Xiao Liu remembered something and looked at Chen Bodao.
"Hmm, what kind of questionnaire?" Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, if the life-extending gene technology is really possible, who is willing to die!
"I'll find it for you. Xiao Liu clicked on the light curtain of the watch, and immediately entered the official website of Xingyao Group to browse.
Soon, Xiao Liu looked up at Uncle Chen with a strange look and asked, "Uncle Chen, if the life-extending gene technology is realized, how much are you willing to spend on this technology?"
Uncle Chen rolled his eyes, looked at Xiao Liu and said, "You are stupid to me! Of course you are willing to do as much as you want! Everyone is dead, why do you keep the money?"
Xiao Liu looked at Uncle Chen solemnly, nodded and said, "Uncle Chen, congratulations." ”
"What do you mean?" Uncle Chen was dumbfounded.
