Chapter 910: The Price of Eternal Life

Chu Ge couldn't imagine it.

He can only substitute himself into this hypothesis.

Suppose that there is a handsome guy who is heroic, young and golden, and immortal, he must not have a taste in his heart.

"It's just more handsome than me and richer than me, and you dare to live forever, so aren't all the girls soaked by you alone, in such a world, there is still a way for the poor and ugly to live?"

Chu Ge gradually became angry.

"You get the idea, right? The inequality of wealth can be tolerated, the inequality of power can be tolerated, the inequality of appearance and wisdom can be tolerated, but no one can tolerate the inequality of the most essential time of life. ”

Dr. Li Xinlian continued, "And the 'immortality' thing is impossible to hide, and the information in modern society is so developed, if there is a rich or powerful person who lives for two or three hundred years, he will definitely be discovered by the angry people, and they will rush up and tear to pieces. ”

Chu Ge thought for a while and said, "If the mystery of immortality in Amber's body is really analyzed, it is naturally impossible for a certain rich or powerful person to enjoy it exclusively, this should be the wealth of all mankind, so that everyone can live forever together." ”

"It's useless."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "If we really analyze the immortality technology, it is nothing more than two situations, the first is that it is exclusively enjoyed by some rich and powerful, who use their huge wealth and power, coupled with a long period of time, to gradually evolve into another kind of person who is completely different from ordinary people, almost God's 'superman', who will no longer regard themselves as a part of the old human race, but a new species."

"Ordinary people are jealous and hate the immortals, and the immortals despise and warn ordinary people, and there will definitely be a war between the two sides, just like the endless war between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, no matter who wins or loses, the definition of human civilization will inevitably change beyond recognition.

"In the second case, which is what you said, the authorities proceed from the supreme interests of human civilization and consider the overall situation, and make the immortality technology public, so that all human beings can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But this is not enough to eliminate the inequality between human beings, because the quality of life is different for each human being - to live for a thousand years as the leader of a wealthy group, or to live a thousand years as a household name, or to live a thousand years as a migrant worker who lives in a cubicle all day long, living a life of ninety-nine-six and bursting blood vessels, but still cannot afford to buy a house, or living as a homeless man with no permanent place to live and no food and clothing, these are two completely different things.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the laws of nature, the old and the new, is the driving force of progress, if the superior is immortal, the lower will never have a chance to come out, the general will always be the general, the soldier will always be the soldier, the president will always be the president, the beggar will always be the beggar, the class solidification is like a dammed lake that is getting bigger and bigger, the lake is full of the anger, unwillingness, desire and ambition of the lower, sooner or later will collapse, washing away everything that seems to be eternal.

"Now, you should understand the seriousness of this problem, right?"

"Understood."

Chu Ge nodded slowly and solemnly.

The emergence of immortals and the spread of immortal technology are really ...... for the entire civilization It is no less than the awakening wisdom of the rat people, and the great challenge of the monster coming to the world.

One bad thing is that this technology, or even just the possibility of the emergence of immortal technology, will ruin the human civilization of modern earth.

"So, I can't just share my findings with others."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "I can't and don't want to share it with those academic authorities in the circle, because if the immortality technology falls into the hands of these scholars, it will only turn them into zombies that will always be high above the head, and I won't be able to turn over for 10,000 years."

"Secondly, I can't tell Amber's secret to the entire Lionheart Clan, because then both of my brothers will know."

"Wait, Li Chenglong and Li Chenghu know, what's the problem?"

Chu Ge thought for a while, "Wouldn't it be great that your family can live forever?" ”

Dr. Li Xinlian frowned, and glanced at Chu Ge with a very complicated gaze.

As if he was annoyed, his plan would be ruined by such a guy, it was really blindless.

"Of course, there are problems, the first is that there are many people, and it is difficult to ensure that this matter does not leak out."

Dr. Li Xinlian said as a matter of course, "More importantly, if our family can live forever, who will be the leader of the Lionheart Group?" ”

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment.

"Li Chenglong is the number one person in the group now......" he hesitated, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"The reason why my eldest brother was able to become the number one person in the group was that my father was willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, and he also escorted my eldest brother for several years, and even transferred a large number of contacts and henchmen to my eldest brother."

Dr. Li Xinlian said calmly, "And the reason why my father did this is because he knows that his time is short, and an old man who is in his last years of life of course pins all his hopes on his descendants."

But what if the blood of amber could cure my father of his ills and even immortalize his father's life?

"No, there is no need for eternal life, just five hundred years to live for another hundred years to rekindle all the ambitions of the father of the 'Lion King'.

"My father was actually a man of great power, and when he was at his most energetic, he could handle twenty hours of official business a day, and only needed to rest for two or three hours in a special deep sleep pod, and the vast sea of official documents and a thousand chores were not hard work for him, but an addictive pleasure, and if possible, he would like to count the threads on every screw in the group.

If it weren't for his physical failure, he would never be willing to share even the slightest bit of power with others, even if it was his own son.

"If my father can regain his health or even regain his youth, I can guarantee that the first thing he will do is to wrestle all power from the hands of the eldest brother and the second brother by any means, even if it means cooperating with the demon and paying a terrible price, he will not hesitate."

"I know."

Chu Ge said quietly, "I have seen what he has done. ”

"And my two brothers are also copies of my father, maybe their abilities and hearts are still immature, but the burning desire for power will never be inferior to my father."

Ignoring the sarcasm in Chu Ge's words, Dr. Li Xinlian continued, "They will definitely not tolerate their father taking back power, and even, because their father is the spiritual leader and symbol of the Lionheart Group, as long as their father does not die, they will not have the slightest chance, so they will never tolerate his father immortal."

"Do you believe that once I tell my two brothers Amber's secret, it won't be a few days before my father will die of nothingness or die violently!"

"Believe."

Chu Ge sighed, "You big families, you really don't have any human touch. ”

"It's normal, the emperors of ancient dynasties have lived for more than ten or twenty years, and the adult princes are ready to move, killing their fathers and seizing the throne is a common routine operation, and the emperors who perceive the threat of the crown prince have deposed or even killed their relatives There are also countless examples - when the winner's prize is an entire empire, what is the value of flesh and blood?"

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "Although our Lionheart Group is not an ancient dynasty, the wealth and power controlled by the group are out-and-out rich and rival countries, and even our armed forces are stronger than many ancient dynasties. ”

Chu Ge nodded and said, "But you still told the secret to the Lion King Li Ang." ”

"Because I have no conflict of interest with my father, I have no interest in the control of the Lionheart Group, I only want to make a difference in academic circles, or rather, over a long period of time, study the rise, evolution, change and decline of entire civilizations."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "So, even if we all have a long life, my father and I can still cooperate, but my father and my two brothers are absolutely incompatible." ”

"Understood."

Chu Ge thought for a while, and then asked, "But why don't you choose to cooperate with the authorities, the very association and the military or something, aren't you also familiar with Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting?" ”

Chu Ge asked this because he wanted to infer between the lines of Dr. Li Xinlian's words whether Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting had a problem.

It would be terrible if Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting was co-opted by the Celestial Organization.

But Chu Ge estimated that it was unlikely - if Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting was a minion of the Celestial Organization, the crisis of the Rat Civilization would never be so easy to solve.
