fifth day
In the political center of the imperial capital, leaders from various countries gathered together in a solemn conference room.
The conference room was closed, and this was an important meeting with no media reporters present.
On the podium, the leader concluded his welcome speech and introduced Zhou Xing to the political leaders of various countries, saying: "Now, I would like to invite Zhou Xing, a famous scientist in my country, to explain to everyone."
Soon, the door to the conference room opened, and under the guidance of the staff, Zhou Xing walked into the closed conference room and walked towards the podium.
Zhou Xing walked up to the podium, looked at the heads of state who often appeared on the TV screen, and introduced himself: "Hello, leaders, I am Zhou Xing."
Hearing this, the scene was silent for a while, with sharp eyes shining directly on Zhou Xing's face, with complex expressions.
It is because of this guy that China seems to have turned on the engine, its rise has suddenly accelerated, and the world structure has undergone tremendous changes.
What’s even more ridiculous is that this guy’s academic speech was like lighting a fuse and detonating the bomb of the global real estate crisis. The current situation of various countries is very similar to that when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2008.
"Mr. Zhou, how do you feel about the outbreak of the global financial crisis because of your inappropriate remarks?" As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, US Secretary of State Lupson looked at him gloomily and asked aggressively.
How could Zhou Xing accept such a big blame
"Sir, I'm sorry that I can't accept your statement. This financial crisis is a repeat of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. My speech just happened to happen." Zhou Xing denied it with a slight smile, then explained, "No The purchasing power of global financial currencies, which only rises but does not fall, has dropped by about 52% compared to ten years ago. However, the growth rate of house prices is more than 355%. This means that there is a huge bubble in the global real estate industry. Now it is this The result of the bubble bursting.”
Upon hearing this, Secretary of State Lupson's face darkened, and he could not refute Zhou Xing's sophistry. After all, there was no direct evidence to prove that Zhou Xing's remarks caused the financial crisis. However, he would not give up easily.
Lupson retorted calmly: "No, your academic speech was mixed with your personal interests. Because of your reputation and status, this impure academic speech triggered the financial crisis. You have to take action on this matter." Responsible."
"Your Excellency, hasn't your country always advocated 'freedom of speech'? Why do you want me to take responsibility for my 'speech' now? I think you have forgotten one thing. I am not a citizen of your country. I only recognize the rights of China." According to the law, you have no right to accuse me of anything, including my 'speeches.'" Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Lupson and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lupson snorted coldly and looked at the Chinese leader in the chair with cold eyes.
As Zhou Xing said, he is not a citizen of their country, and if you want to punish him, you cannot avoid a country.
"Ahem, Xiao Zhou, please introduce the situation of the cryogenic dormant cabin to everyone first!" Seeing Lepson's unfriendly eyes, the leader coughed twice and changed the subject: "How confident are you that the cryogenic dormant chamber will be used?" Has it been developed? As for life-extending biotechnology, can you also tell me how much investment is needed to realize it? "
After hearing this, the heads of state gave up looking at Lupson's jokes and stared at Zhou Xing, waiting for his answer.
Before this meeting, heads of state frequently contacted the Chinese government in order to confirm the authenticity of cryogenic sleep chambers, virtual technology, and longevity biotechnology.
Immortality is the pursuit of all nations in the world. Compared with human pursuit of immortality, any matter is not that important.
Many politicians present are already quite old. The development of low-temperature dormancy chamber and longevity biotechnology is exactly when they urgently need this technology.
If they are too late to use the longevity technology, they who promoted the popularization and application of this technology will also be remembered by history and their names will last forever.
This is a very rare historical opportunity.
The only thing that heads of state are worried about is the cryogenic dormancy chamber and longevity biotechnology. How sure is Zhou Xing that he can develop it? They urgently need a definite answer.
Zhou Xing nodded and briefly introduced the human body's temperature system: "Okay, Premier Li, the term human body's constant temperature system is actually wrong. Human cell metabolism is a process of constant heat production. Metabolism is accelerated and heat is generated too much. Body temperature regulation is controlled by the temperature regulation center of the cerebellum. It achieves the effect of constant human body temperature by changing skin heat dissipation (pore relaxation), vasodilation (accelerating blood circulation, accelerating heat dissipation) or contraction (reducing heat dissipation), etc., etc. "
"The human physiological system is a very stable structure that cannot be maintained when a major disease occurs. We can use biowave technology to influence and change the biological system of the human body, indirectly destroying the temperature regulation mode, reducing the body's energy intake, and reducing the body's metabolic products. Heat, in turn, promotes the influence of biological waves..." Zhou Xing introduced the operating principle of the cryogenic dormancy chamber in detail.
After a pause, Zhou Xing looked around the audience and said confidently: "The core component of the cryogenic sleep chamber is the biowave simulator. With experience in the development of biochips, I am 100% sure to develop it."
"What about life-extending biotechnology? How sure are you?" As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, a burst of hurried English could not wait to be spread.
Zhou Xing looked at the white senior official who asked the question with a London accent, and said with a smile: "I have a very high probability of developing longevity biotechnology, and the probability of success is more than 60%. However, to develop it requires many organisms." Scientists assist.”
With a "crash", the venue immediately became a mess.
"Really? That's 60%?"
"How many people are needed to help? How long will it take to get the results?"
"What kind of research and development direction is it? How did you determine this probability of success?"
“…”
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the leaders attending the meeting looked excited, and questions were thrown out of their mouths one after another.
Seeing the excitement, joy, and nervousness of the political leaders, Zhou Xing's originally tense spirit relaxed in vain. Even though these politicians are at the "top" of the world, they are still human beings! They have the same emotions and desires, and they are also afraid of death.
"Leaders, if you want to understand the research direction of life extension biotechnology, you must first know the reasons why we humans age." Zhou Xing smiled slightly and said in standard fluent English.
After hearing this, the venue fell silent. Everyone stopped asking questions and listened quietly to Zhou Xing's explanation.
"There are many reasons why we humans age: too many free radicals and too much oxidation: too many free radicals in the human body cause excessive oxidation, consume too much energy, destroy normal cells, and age the human body; cellular aging: the human body is caused by Composed of billions of cells, as age increases and cells continue to divide, the number of cells in the human body will continue to decrease, and human lifespan will gradually decrease; endocrine reproductive system dysfunction: gonads, thyroid, adrenal glands The decline of functions such as thymus, thymus, and pituitary gland will induce rapid aging of the human body. Abnormal human metabolism:... etc." Zhou Xing introduced in detail.
After saying a lot in one breath, Zhou Xing paused for a while before continuing: "Of course, there is another most important factor that affects human aging, and that is the DNA that gives birth to us humans. I have considered several ways to change human DNA. The direction of life extension technology, but human DNA still contains many unknown conditions."
"I need to fully understand human genes before I can implement life extension technology. However, this is a very huge systematic project." Zhou Xing said solemnly, looking around the audience.
Hearing this, the dignitaries from all the countries at the meeting looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed understanding at the same time.
As Zhou Xing said, human genes are a huge system and very mysterious.
American scientists proposed the Human Genome Project in 1985 and it was officially launched in 1990. Scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, and my country are jointly participating in the Human Genome Project to unlock all the codes of approximately 25,000 genes in the human body and to draw a map of human genes. In other words, it is necessary to uncover the secrets of the 3 billion base pairs that make up the 25,000 genes in the human body.
