71 Eternal life is a point of no return

Watching people fall one by one and die miserably, the Hongguang monk of the year suffered a great mental blow, and he was originally full of confidence, but after this battle, he was disheartened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe always felt that it was his own management and scientific research mistakes that led to the loss of so many people's lives, and he hoped to make some remedies, but so many people died, how else could they be remedied?

Monk Hongguang didn't know what to do, he finally had doubts about the word science, feeling that science seemed so weak and powerless at such a time, and he was so helpless as a top scientist.

To make matters worse, he himself was infected.

The management of Rentu Company tried every means to re-establish a medical laboratory in Africa specifically for the treatment of Monk Hongguang, and finally pulled him out of the hands of death, completely suppressed and eliminated the virus in his body, and then took him back to China. In the process of treating him, many outstanding medical personnel and scientific researchers sacrificed themselves on the frontline "battlefield" against the mutated Ebola virus. All this made Monk Hongguang even more disheartened.

After being taken back to China, the company arranged for the monk Hongguang to recuperate for half a year. In the past six months, Monk Hongguang struggled in pain, dreaming every day of his colleagues and people in foreign lands who died tragically from viral diseases, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time. Later, he went out to travel and relax, visited many famous mountains and rivers, temples and Taoist temples, learned a lot about Buddhism and Taoist scriptures, and finally felt that only Buddhism could benefit sentient beings, or at least calm his mood. Also, through the Dharma. Perhaps it can also make up for the sins he made after making mistakes in scientific research. With this in mind, he made up his mind to take refuge in Buddhism. From a scientist who insisted on materialism, to a monk who advocated idealism.

But when he returned to the company to inform him of the incident, the company was preparing to plan a new project called "Eternal Life". The main objective of the project is to find ways to extend human life through the study of specific viruses. The company believes that although Hongguang Monk's Ebola virus specific drug research project failed, there are some results. It can be well transferred to the "eternal life" project. Looking at the overall situation, the best candidate for the leader of the research and development of the "eternal life" project is still the Hongguang monk. The company intends to let Hongguang Monk after the vacation is over. Start planning and moving forward with the "Eternal Life" project immediately.

But for this project, Monk Hongguang has no interest in it. He resolutely turned down the project, and at the same time donated all his shares in Rentu to the African Red Cross humanitarian relief organization. Afterwards. He planned to go to Famen Monastery to become a monk.

It's at this juncture. Monk Hongguang's aunt found him and asked him to help her daughter, Monk Hongguang's little cousin and Liu Shuya's mother, Jiang Yi, recommend a job. Jiang Yi also has a Ph.D. in biology and is a disciple of the famous academician Mr. Hu Yigong. Academician Hu hopes that Jiang Yi can stay in his scientific research team, but Jiang Yi's family hopes that she can enter a large company for development. So Monk Hongguang immediately approached the management of Rentu Company. I recommended my little cousin to them.

The old brothers of the company's management were very face-saving and immediately hired Jiang Yi without examination. She was also arranged to participate in the "Eternal Life" project, mainly in the hope that she could contact the monk Hongguang after becoming a monk and get some valuable opinions and suggestions from him to ensure the smooth development of the project.

But after the monk Hongguang finished this last thing, he completely disappeared from the sight of Rentu Company, he converted to Buddhism, no longer cared about the world, devoted himself to practicing Buddhism, and ignored all the things in the outside world, and everyone in Rentu Company, including Jiang Yi, could not find him. Since then, he has become an invisible man, isolated from the world.

Thinking back to these past events, the old monk Hongguang was very embarrassed. But none of this is important, the most important problem is that the old monk suddenly connected the "eternal life" project that he did not take over with what happened to the two children in front of him. He began to try to recall some of the details he had learned about the project. Although he didn't take on the project at the time, he was able to show respect for his former classmates and partners. Although he listened absent-mindedly, with Monk Hongguang's professional ability and good memory, he still deeply remembered and understood some of the main details of that project. After many years, the old monk did not feel difficult to recall those details in this small tomb.

At that time, the person in charge of introducing this "eternal life" project to him was the company's CEO, one of the co-founders, and the old partner of the Hongguang monk, Wu Wenhui. He mentioned at that time that the world's largest financial institution, the Morgan Financial Investment Company, had sent people to find the "Rentu" company, hoping to fund the "eternal life" project. The main source of the project is this: some biotechnology labs funded by JPMorgan Financial Investment have isolated some special viruses from some "long-lived" "people", which they believe are the reason for the longevity of these "people". But these viruses also have some undesirable side effects when used in humans. Therefore, Mr. Morgan, the chairman of the board of directors of Morgan Financial Investment Company, hopes that scientific research institutions can study and modify the virus, so that this virus can serve human life extension, and at the same time, eliminate side effects, and finally create a safe and effective "longevity drug".

There are two main reasons why Morgan is eager to carry out this project: one is that the chairman of Morgan and the elder Mr. Morgan is over 80 years old, although his health is still relatively healthy, but he is already in his twilight years, and it is really difficult for such a successful person to watch the shadow of death gradually envelop him, but he is completely powerless to fight. Therefore, he hopes to get the immortality project out as soon as possible to prolong his life in a healthy way. Throughout the ages, whether it is a person with great power or a person who is rich in the world, he cannot escape the shackles of the laws of nature. Whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Genghis Khan, it is inevitable that the dust will return to the dust in the end. Even if you are surrounded by more gold and silver when you are buried, surrounded by beautiful women and pets who accompany you in the burial. But man dies after all.

So these people all want to get the secret elixir of immortality. But no one has ever been able to really succeed.

This old Mr. Morgan is one such person. He has a financial empire that rivals the riches of the country. The world's largest countries are all under the implicit control or influence of Mr. Morgan's financial empire.

But the only thing he can't do is the laws of nature.

So in the last days of his life, he wanted to use his financial resources. He was able to prolong his life, and at the same time wanted to develop a product that would make people live a long life or even live forever, and such a product would surely become the most important luxury health consumer product for the world's elites.

Old man Morgan has a really unique vision and a long-term vision. Even the Hongguang monk, who was disillusioned at that time, thought that if this product could be developed, it would be very promising. But none of the labs that Mr. Morgan Sr. controlled and funded were capable of doing this, and even all the labs he funded were combined to do this. So someone recommended Rentu to Mr. Morgan Sr. At that time, Rentu had developed into one of the world's largest companies in the life sciences industry. It has the best virus research center in the world. However, at the same time, the company has also become one of the most important semi-state-owned high-tech companies in the country with national strategic significance.

So Mr. Morgan Sr. wanted to buy the company easily. It doesn't seem likely. So he chose to do this by means of cooperation, that is, by investing in new projects.

As soon as this matter was negotiated, it was widely recognized by the management of Rentu Biotechnology. The project is planned to be reported to the competent national authority. The relevant departments also approved the project immediately, and a lot of funds were matched. So the "Eternal Life" project was launched.

The old monk Hongguang had not participated in this project before, so he was not interested in the content of the project. But now that he recalled, he remembered Wu Wenhui's excited and nervous expression when he introduced the situation to him, especially when he mentioned that some "special" viruses had been isolated from some "long-lived people", and he even trembled with nervousness and excitement.

The old monk is now beginning to wonder about the situation at that time, who are those so-called "long-lived people"? How can viruses, parasites, lead to a normal person's longevity? And what are the side effects of this virus? Are there any side effects in those "long-lived people" who carry the virus?

These questions made the old monk sit there and gasp.

Everything in front of you. Let the old monk think: Could it be that those so-called "long-lived people" are zombies? Could it be that their "Eternal Life" project at that time was researching the legendary "zombie virus" that resembles the rabies virus?

Isn't this virus found in legends and science fiction in life science circles? Is there really a sample? And then these samples were again by Willow's mother. Cousin Jiang Yi stole it out of the company and used it on her own son, who was on the verge of death?

If that's the case, then the cause and effect of all this makes sense. Willow Shuya was reborn from death, and the slight same death and resurrection were actually the result of being poisoned by corpses and starting corpse transformation.

It seems that both Zhen Yuan Dao and cousin Jiang Yi showed the same hysteria when facing the life and death of their loved ones, they would rather the person they loved the most become inhuman monsters, and they didn't want them to die and become a handful of loess. Correspondingly, Lao Dao and his cousin Jiang Yi sacrificed their lives in order to protect their relatives.

The old monk couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Old Dao, old Dao, you definitely don't know, in fact, you are not the first, my genius cousin, many years ago, did the same thing as you." ”

After speaking, the old monk pondered further: "Although you have taken different paths, one uses science and the other uses faith to carry out your own career, but your goal should come down to the purpose of benefiting mankind!" How did he be able to make the person he loved the most into a monster when it happened to him?

Is it really so terrible to die a loved one?

Even if they gain eternal life, but lose their right to be 'human', is it really good for them?

You want them to stay alive, but they're dead. Is it true that they are 'alive' in the true sense of their life?

In other words, are such people still 'people' in the true sense of the word? Or are they taking a long detour, and after becoming monsters, can they become a 'human' again?

What is a real 'person'?

Is The Walking Dead a 'human'?

Or even if it's a walking dead, what kind of things should be given to be considered a real 'person'? ”

This large series of questions made the old monk himself confused. He paused, stopped thinking, but looked at the two children, and asked himself again, "If it were me, would I do it like them?" ”

I didn't think about this question for too long, and although he struggled, the old monk finally made the same choice as Lao Dao and his cousin in his heart.

In his mind, he continued to say to himself:

"Since creation forces us to use such a method to save our relatives, then we can only go down this path.

It's just that when we turn them into monsters with our own hands and send them astray, how do we guide them back to the human path? Perhaps this is the most important problem that these two dolls and even us will have to face in the future.

The "Eternal Life" project team faced such a proposition back then, and we are also facing such a proposition today.

If there is no hope for our generation to solve this problem, we hope that the children in it will be able to find the answer for themselves, and will be able to discover where the right path is. (To be continued.) )
