Chapter 1107: Shackles
This is both your right and your duty......
Jiang Chen's last sentence made Wu Changfeng's heart feel a little inexplicable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, this is my right, why should I give it to you?
It is I who shed my blood for the earth, and I am the one who has done my best for all mankind.
No longer hesitating, putting aside all the thoughts of "dedication to the organization", Wu Changfeng rolled up his sleeves and aimed the needle at his vein. Putting aside all distractions, his heart crossed and he pushed down the needle with his eyes closed.
As the serum was injected into his body, the impetuous heartbeat in his chest gradually stabilized.
Leaning back on the couch, he waited quietly for the effects of the drug to kick in.
The second hand on the wall ticked by, and the expected pain did not happen, Wu Changfeng couldn't help frowning and looked at the position where the needle was pricked before.
"Is there no clinical response?"
As he was talking to himself, a burning pain spread from his arm.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
As if he was from a military background, Wu Changfeng's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth, but he endured it without saying a word.
Boiling blood spread down his veins, flowing through his veins, and the pain spread throughout his body.
"Is this the price of immortality?" hehe, it's too light," Wu Changfeng gasped, gritted his leaky teeth, and slowly lay down on the sofa.
The pain began to spread outward from the blood vessels, inwardly into the internal organs, and outward to the skin and hair.
Suddenly, all the pain disappeared in an instant.
"It's over...... What?"
Slowly muttering these words, Wu Changfeng closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply.
Without even knowing it, he had already made his choice.
The choice of who is loyal to it.
In his slumber, he had a dream.
He dreamed that he watched his wife, sons, and grandchildren grow old, and watched them lie in the grave, while he was forever so young. At the end of the dream, he saw a fire, and the flames engulfed the earth, engulfed all the cities, engulfed the warships of the Earth fleet, and engulfed everything......
Waking up from the nightmare, Wu Changfeng bounced up from the sofa violently.
Realizing that everything was a dream, the beating heart gradually calmed down.
"Is it already noon?"
The guard complied with last night's order and did not call him to get up.
Panting heavily, his eyes were withdrawn from the wall clock on the wall, Wu Changfeng covered his forehead and sat up on the edge of the sofa. Only now did he realize that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and the cold feeling was gradually seeping from his clothes.
Taking off his clothes, he walked to the bathroom, ready to take a shower.
However, when passing by the mirror, he was suddenly stunned.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he unexpectedly found that he seemed to be at least five years younger than yesterday......
β¦β¦
"Everybody was injected. β
"Good, keep keeping an eye on them before they leave the Star Ring City. β
"Yes. β
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the blue planet outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and his hanging heart gradually relaxed.
As he expected, everyone finally chose to use the 20ml serum on themselves, rather than taking it back and donating it to the country.
From the very beginning, Jiang Chen knew that once this kind of thing appeared on the market, not to mention what kind of trouble it would bring to the Transwarp trade, its very existence would have an unimaginable impact on the existing social order.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he would never allow them to bring it to the surface, let alone give it to some "big man" for some superficial reason.
To take a very simple example, this life-prolonging potion is certainly not affordable for civilians. Once it appears on the market, the life expectancy of the rich and powerful will be much higher than that of the average person, and the wealth of society will become more and more concentrated, and it may not be long before the wealth of the world will be concentrated in the hands of 0.1% or even less.
By that time, civilization had almost come to an end.
But there are two sides to everything.
As long as it is done properly, the positive effects of "Life Renewal Serum" can far outweigh its negative effects.
For example, it is used to win people's hearts.
The twenty members of the Earth Defense Alliance are all considered the elite of the elite in their respective countries, and Jiang Chen is not naΓ―ve to think that he can easily entrap them with money or status, let them abandon the concept of a country, move their fart shares to the side of the Earth Defense Alliance, and work for him wholeheartedly.
But all human beings will always have weaknesses.
The more successful and powerful people are, the more they fear death, because once they die, they have much more to lose than ordinary people.
It's the best option to use your life to envelop them.
As early as when NAC's sphere of influence had just expanded to Hongcheng, Jiang Chen learned the secret of immortality from Dr. Sun, with 100ml of serum. From this 100ml serum, Lin Ling extracted the anti-aging fragments in the DNA and the anti-aging substances dissolved in the serum for more in-depth research.
Although immortality is not possible for the time being, it is still easy to extend the lifespan of tens to hundreds of years without side effects without covering the original hidden genetic code. Now Lin Ling has two thousand more sisters, and her scientific research ability has been strengthened more than a little bit, maybe in a few years, the real elixir of immortality will be researched by her.
However, for those committee members, it is enough to use a defective product, and there is no need for eternal life or something.
While it would be beneficial for them to live longer, it would be a problem for them to stay alive and not die. In the future, the Earth Defense Alliance will become stronger and stronger under the oppression of external factors, and even replace all secular countries and evolve into the Earth Federation.
When the time comes, if a group of old immortal things occupy the committee seats, it will lead to the rigidity of the organization's high-level thinking.
Young people have to be given a little hope.
Immortal, only he, the executive officer, is enough.
And, of course, his closest relatives.
Fingers clicked on the touchpad on the desktop, calling out the holographic screen, Jiang Chen raised his hand and gestured to the holographic screen a few times, bringing up yesterday's meeting minutes. Selecting the summary section, his gaze scanned over the line of text.
"Project Trenches, Project Starship...... Although it is only eight words to read, it is really not a little difficult. β
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen leaned back in the boss's chair with some headaches.
Whether it's building a planetary fortress or a space fleet, the amount of steel and production capacity required is astronomical. The current Martian colony is equivalent to saying that it has just planted a seed, and if you want it to grow into a towering tree, you don't know when you have to wait.
"It looks like we have to pick things up. β
Sighing, Jiang Chen turned off the meeting summary, stretched out his hand and clicked on the holographic screen a few times, connecting to the database of the Mars Colonization Project Department.
Just as he was about to inspect the developments in the colony, a report that had been uploaded ten minutes earlier, but had not yet had time to be approved, caught his attention...... (To be continued.) )
