Chapter 514: Floating City
As An Feng entered the end of his speech, he allowed questions to be asked.
A female student raised her hand and stood up: "Excuse me, sir, according to the effect of the medical warehouse on cells, I would like to ask, can it prolong people's life and keep them young?" â
"It seems that all ladies love beauty." An Feng made a joke, and laughter rang out from the audience.
An Feng continued: "Biotechnology can keep living organisms young and vigorous, but it cannot interfere with nature at the moment. For example, the decline of brain tissue. â
"This is the law of life, human beings' understanding of themselves is still too shallow, technology can restore youth, but it can't be like normal men and women create zĂ o life. The birth of a baby is a whole new life form, and cloning only slows it down. It's like a forbidden area set up by God, and there are constant problems. â
"Sir, do you think you can live forever?" Another asked.
An Feng said: "This is not what we are currently exploring. But I think sometimes it's torture to go against the law and live too long. You will watch your friends die one by one, your children will enter the twilight, and there will be no one in the world who can understand and have a common topic with you. After the age of 60, you will grow old, and then continue to live a long life, and the physical and mobility difficulties will be even more tormenting. â
"I don't think it's happiness, it's loneliness." He said.
"I think so." An Feng nodded.
Longevity addresses two issues: longevity and aging. While prolonging life, it is also necessary to slow down the aging of the human body. If you can average 140 years old, at least after the age of 90, the current age of 60 will appear. Otherwise, the increase in age is of little significance, and it will only form a burden.
After An Feng answered some questions, he looked at the audience, and everyone stood up and applauded.
He nodded lightly and stepped off the stage.

Regarding the issue of medical warehouses, the Royal Research Institute and Ann's Industries are currently cooperating. It's not like he said in his speech, "I'm still trying" -- it's already over. At present, it is clinical, and the results are good. It's just that the cost of each biological treatment is too high.
But he can still afford to use it, and I'm afraid he has to use it often, because there are ladies at home. This kind of magic, something indescribably seductive to them, including Joanna. From the moment she learned about An Feng's plan. I've been looking forward to it. She would rather live to be only seventy years old than to age fifty years (because of the improved effects of bio-drinks, human lifespan has generally been extended to 110 years).
On the way home from the academy, An Feng and Fred continued to communicate.
Fred's level of knowledge is equivalent to that of a college student, and even some areas of interest have a deeper understanding. Discussing it with his father, although the content is still quite "simple", he has been able to integrate it. Explain it a few times and understand it automatically.
"It's not difficult, it's a beauty machine specially customized for your mother." An Feng said.
Fred said: "She's going to be happy. â
An Feng asked, "Did you learn this trick?" â
Fred nodded, and An Feng put his arm around his shoulders and smiled. Parents treat boys and girls very differently, and they want her to be cautious and not to take advantage of the wild boys outside. However, for boys, it is to enrich your feelings while you are young.
âŚâŚ
After dinner, they watched a soap opera in the living room.
An Feng didn't want to watch soap operas...... But the two women in the family have 100% "democratic" voting rights, even if they are busy with work. There will also be family time, even if it's sitting together and arguing. Now Alice is talking about prom, where to go after graduation, etc.
An Feng only said: "Don't take advantage of others." â
"I know." She said. "I have a group of bodyguards around me all day long, and I just can't think about it."
"What?" An Feng looked at her.
"Nothing, Daddy!" She smiled, "Dad, will our family go to Carbonia for the summer vacation?" I've heard that there is an F1 powerboat competition. â
"You don't like jet skis." An Feng said.
"I want to go." She leaned over and said, "Okay. It's some of my friends who want to go there to the artificial island for a few days to celebrate graduation. â
"Male or female?" An Feng asked.
"They're all women, girls my age." She said.
"I'll give you a check for the evening." He said that Alice had specifically reported to him that it was nothing more than a problem with the funding of the event.
"I love you so much." She laughs.
âŚâŚ
Both children are on vacation. So they set off on a yacht.
It is about a hundred kilometers from the sea to Carbonia, and it is a popular route for short trips on yachts. There is a famous man-made scenic spot in the area, which was caused by the excavation of a military port and a military base near Cagliari, and the bulldozed sand soil was used to make land.
But it's no ordinary man-made land, and in a U-shaped bay area outside the province of Carbonia, a large artificial island occasionally appears. "Occasionally" it was destined to be a mobile floating city on the sea, capable of holding 100,000 people, often carried around by tugboats.
Strictly speaking, it is a movable land-building project based on the sea surface.
Reclamation is prevalent in small countries and is very costly - especially in Sardinia, where land is not cheap and development is restricted, where the cost of reclamation is only a third of the land. After it was built, it was sold at a higher price than on land.
Reclamation is strictly managed in Sardinia, because there are advantages and disadvantages, needless to say, the disadvantages can cause pollution in the coastal waters, the death of marine life, the destruction of seaports, the impact on the natural landscape, and so on. At present, only three areas are allowed to be filled on a large scale.
When the yacht arrives, the man-made island is revealed.
From the air, it is circular in shape, three kilometers in diameter, and has been shaped by the designer into cascading and undulating petals, and it is divided into two areas: sea and sea. The sea is full of sunshine and green buildings; The cylindrical base under the sea, 80% made of transparent glass, dives more than 20 meters.
People can freely switch between "land" and "sea" life, with sandy beaches, lots of coconut palms, and the whole island surrounded by greenery. The bottom of the sea is a tranquil blue, and the transparent glass allows you to enjoy the underwater world and the fish swimming as if they were living in an aquarium.
There are many collaborations, including Ann's nuclear technology, engineering machinery, Green Earth's vegetation technology and protection measures to prevent offshore pollution, as well as government supervision. In the end, they were able to carefully implement their bold dream city plan on the sea.
It cost $15 billion to complete the whole process, and Anfeng invested 50% in it. The result is obvious, because of creativity and the wealth of the country, choosing a well-decorated maritime city to live and travel in a dream is a great place to enjoy. Property on the island has attracted countless wealthy people.
It's a huge project, and with a diameter of three kilometres, that means an area of 14 square kilometres, the size of a small city! With a maximum capacity of 100,000 people, the island has everything it needs to live, entertain, like a larger version of a cruise ship - except that it is impossible to travel to the sea.
The artificial island has three secluded marinas, where countless yachts and sailboats gather, and it is now docking time for replenishment, and tourists are constantly coming. Life on the island is definitely not boring, it has a gymnasium, a theater, a cinema, a golf course, a freshwater swimming pool...... It has it all in normal cities.
Spending time here will be a futuristic life, full of creativity and technology.
It is the second most tourist attraction in Sardinia after the Hanging Gardens. During the peak summer tourist season, tourists from all over the world flock to each other, and the capacity of 100,000 people seems to be a lot, but every trip is full, and people can't resist this kind of novel creativity.
âŚâŚ
The yacht stopped at Pier 3 and everyone disembarked. With a synthesized female voice in your ears, a display overhead and intelligent voice controls everywhere you can find play, directions and other types of queries, as well as call for convenient e-mobility.
With such a large island, it is absolutely impossible to do without transportation.
After landing, it is their own planning time, An Feng is not with the young people, he wants to accompany Joanna to the mall. Since ascending to the throne, her visits to the mall have dropped dramatically, to only a few times a year. It's not convenient to appear in public, but there are fewer people here, and it's still possible to keep a low profile.
Joanna said to Alice, "The yacht is handed over to you, don't make too much trouble." â
"Guaranteed." She nodded, and put her arm around Fred's shoulder: "I'll take care of him, there are many people who want to know the little prince." â
"That's why I'm not at ease." Joanna said.
"Don't worry, Mom." "And promised not to expose him to alcohol." â
Joanna said, "I hope I don't see anything about you in the newspapers tomorrow." â
"Definitely." She nodded.
"Don't talk about it, let's go." An Feng pulled Joanna away and nodded back to the children.
Alice gave him a thumbs up and walked in the other direction with Fred: "Fred, let me ask you a question, do you mind being kissed by a lot of girls?" â
"Huh?" Fred was stunned.
"I don't promise they won't mean anything else to the little prince...... But it doesn't seem like a loss to boys, right? She looked at Fred.
Fred looked back in the direction his parents had left, and felt ...... It's not good.
"Haha, look you're nervous." Alice smiled and put her arm around his shoulder, "Don't worry, my sister will protect you, my little prince!" (To be continued......)
