103 - Worrying about the sky
Three months later.
"Guys, now please walk to your respective treadmills."
"Immediately, immediately!"
In the experimental building of the Black Light Biological Research Center, a young researcher was staring at thirty-three black people with a serious expression.
The thirty-three blacks, all of whom were of the Owanbo ethnic group, were wearing standard white hospital gowns at this time, and although not all of them were in good spirits, at least all of them seemed to be healthy.
You know, when these people entered the research center three months ago, they still looked old, but at this time, they miraculously became younger.
Now that they look like they're only in their forties, it's as if time has turned back on them.
Hearing the researcher's order, these people all looked a little reluctant.
But right next to them, a team of B.S.S. security services were staring at them, and the slightest disobedience was a stick.
For those who can actively cooperate, they can get more delicious food and even alcoholic beverages on their own.
In this two-way choice of rewards and punishments, this group of people naturally does not have much choice.
As the group reluctantly boarded the treadmill, the researchers pressed it on the main console, and the treadmill began to work slowly.
"It's 5 kilometers per hour, please don't walk, run!"
……
"It's 7 km/h, everybody go on."
……
"It's 10 km/h now."
When the researchers adjusted the treadmill to ten kilometers, a black man seemed to be holding on and escaped from the treadmill.
Suddenly, the security guard in charge of monitoring this platoon immediately stepped forward and threw the electric baton in his hand on the opponent's hind buttocks.
"Ahh
Suddenly, the black man let out a heart-rending howl, covered his ass and jumped on the treadmill again.
"15 km/h!"
The researchers looked at the time, five minutes had passed, and many people were starting to wheezing violently.
That's not the limit, though.
After thinking about it, the researcher directly adjusted the speed to 20 kilometers.
At this time, the group of blacks could no longer hold on, and jumped off the treadmill one by one, lying on the ground like dead pigs and gasping, and could not get up again even if they were whipped by the security guards.
"Not bad."
Looking at the data shown by this group of people, the researcher nodded with satisfaction, this physical strength is already comparable to that of the group of otaku who do not exercise all year round.
You know, this group of people are all over 50 years old, and 50 years old in Africa is equivalent to about 65 to 70 years old in Middle-earth.
As he spoke, the researcher took out the recorder and wrote a "B" in the line "physical recovery".
Above the physical fitness, there are words such as bone strength, organ activity, muscle activity, and joint toughness.
And behind these, there are basically A and B.
"Okay, let's do another X-ray later, and all the tests for today will be over."
The researcher clapped his hands and told everyone, "After that, all the others will return to the dormitory, while the five of you in the group of Condi and Lisu will stay for the time being, and there are other tests that need your cooperation." ”
As he spoke, he left with the five people who had been named.
At this point, in the unmarked mystery lab, there are five life incubators in operation.
The inside of these life incubators was filled with a yellowish liquid, which was somewhat cloudy, and bubbles were constantly precipitating from the bottom of the tank, and then gurgling out.
Through the turbid liquid, a fist-sized human fetus could be faintly seen levitating.
The human fetus curls up with a translucent membrane wrapped around it, as if it were in a purple palace.
The long umbilical cord of the fetus is connected to several pipes, one end of which is connected to the umbilical cord of the fetus, and the other end extends directly out of the tank, connected to a huge mechanical device behind everyone.
Through that machine, all the nutrients needed for growth are fed into the fetus with unmistakable accuracy.
"The other five will be here soon, and we can start preparing for organ matching."
At this time, Hannibal received the news from the main console and hurriedly reminded the other two people in the laboratory.
"Do you have to do it?"
Neumann, who was testing the data, came back to his senses and said with some hesitation, "Last time I checked, after the aging reversal treatment of those five people, the organs in the body have begun to recover, even if no organ transplantation is done, the cirrhosis of the liver of the three people and the pneumoconiosis of the two people are automatically improving." ”
Hannibal shook his head when he heard this, frowned, and said, "Neumann, you are still like this, don't forget that we are not a charity, do you know how many dollars these thirty people need to burn for an aging reversal treatment?" Do you know how many dollars these five life incubators are burning every day? ”
"Even bigger, do you know how many dollars the boss burns every day by building this experimental center?"
Sighing, Hannibal continued, "We are not here to save this group of people, but for the sake of technology, why is this why no research institute in the world can generate stem cells into complete organs today? Isn't it too difficult to generate individual organs, even more than cloning? ”
"However, we can easily bypass this problem now and directly produce complete organs, and you know how many people can be saved by this technology?"
Li Lei on the side also stepped forward and patted Neumann on the shoulder, "We have an old saying in Zhongzhou, 'small goodness is like great evil, and great goodness is like ruthlessness' True kindness should be rational, not swayed by emotions, not troubled by emotions, and what we are doing now is great goodness." ”
Neumann nodded.
What the three of them didn't know was that their conversation at this time all fell into Chen Chen's ears.
At this time, Chen Chen was leaning on the sofa, sipping champagne, listening to the conversation of several people on the monitor, and nodded slightly in agreement.
At this moment, Xiao X's voice suddenly came from the speaker, "Your Excellency Godfather, all the records of the aging reversal project have been sorted out, and now it's time for the last data of organ matching!"
"Well done, Little X."
Chen Chen snapped his fingers, "Since this is the case, my next plan can be launched." ”
"What's next?" Little X said curiously.
"Yes, what's next."
Chen Chen raised his palm and stared at his palm, "You should know that everything I am doing now is based on a plan to increase the lifespan of human beings. ”
"But I also understand that this project will not be completed in a day or two, but fortunately, my parents are not yet fifty years old, and I have at least twenty to thirty years to complete this project."
As he spoke, Chen Chen clenched his fists slightly, and a firm look appeared in his eyes, "In twenty years, I will initially extend the lifespan of all human beings by thirty years, and then completely start the lifespan escape!" ”
"So have you ever thought about how to solve the problem of the population explosion?"
Suddenly, Xiao X was curious, "The number of human beings in the whole federation is 7.843 billion today, with an average annual growth of 81.3 million people, and the growth index is 1.09%,"
"According to my calculations, in 20 years, the population will reach 9.595 billion, and that's fine, I'm afraid that it will continue to grow exponentially, and in 100 years it will reach 30 billion, which will lead to the intensification of contradictions and trigger a new round of world war."
"Don't worry about that."
Chen Chen shook his head, "Little X, your abstract logical thinking is still insufficient, if science and technology can really develop for another hundred years, can't you still study controllable nuclear fusion?" ”
"Even if humans still can't study it, can't I 'ingest' it?"
"Ah, it's ...... too" Little X suddenly came to his senses.
"Once controlled nuclear fusion is successful, it will represent that mankind has officially entered the era of infinite energy, and it also means that the earth's gravity can no longer bind human beings, and it will not matter how much the population expands."
Chen Chen smiled faintly, "What's more, even if the human life span suddenly skyrockets, then the federation will naturally have corresponding policies such as delaying retirement, delaying marriage, restricting births, etc., but this is not a problem I should consider, if I think that the extension of human life will definitely lead to various crises, it is too unfounded." ”
As he spoke, Chen Chen picked up a book on the table and read it with relish.
About half an hour later, Xiao X suddenly reminded, "Your Excellency Godfather, the cloning laboratory has uploaded the results, and the matching rate between the clone and the body is 100%!" ”
"Good."
Hearing this, Chen Chen put down the book in his hand, and at the same time admonished, "Little X, get ready to start." ”
