“…”
A set of questionnaires about life-extending gene technology suddenly appeared on the official website of Shining Star Group, which immediately caused an uproar around the world.
What is the Shining Star Group doing? Has life extension gene technology been successfully developed? Are you building momentum now
Suddenly, media around the world reprinted and reported on the contents of Shining Star Group’s “survey” questionnaire, as well as related speculations.
"Xingyao Group adjusts the charging model for life extension gene technology, and a breakthrough in human life extension technology is imminent."
"Genius scientist-Zhou Xing creates another miracle and breaks through the life-extending gene technology."
"Xingyao Group indirectly announced the success of the development of genetic technology and solicited 'price plans' from the world."
"Xingyao Group's big move - surveying public opinion on the sales of life-extending gene products, human life will be extended to 500 years."
"What price are you willing to pay to extend your life span by five times? Shining Star Group is asking you."
“…”
All kinds of eye-catching news headlines suddenly appeared on the homepages of major news media around the world.
The reports from major media outlets around the world were like detonating a nuclear bomb, dumbfounding people all over the world.
Countless people are crazy about extending life to 500 years, which has attracted countless people around the world to visit the official website of Shining Star Group, either to participate in research or to look for clues about life-extending genetic technology.
In the headquarters building and technology center of Shining Star Group, everyone is busy nervously, as if they are dealing with a war. Everyone is sitting at the computer desk, either nervously typing on the keyboard, or staring at the data chart intently. , dare not be distracted for a moment.
Chen Fan testified at the technology center, staring closely at a large surveillance screen filled with various data and showing the status of the official website.
"Mr. Chen, the current number of visiting users has exceeded 3 billion. The website is experiencing delays." Suddenly a technician reported to Chen Fanhui.
Chen Fan's expression changed, and what he was most worried about finally happened.
Life extension gene technology has attracted worldwide attention. They swarmed towards the official website of Shining Star Group, causing network congestion. Even if the server they used was the latest model of photon server, it could not accommodate so many users accessing it at the same time.
"Mr. Chen, the access delay is still 0.5 seconds, and the lag time is increasing significantly." The technician looked at Chen Fan and reported anxiously.
Chen Fan stared at the big screen and immediately ordered: "Jump all users who have completed the questionnaire immediately."
"Understood!" The technician responded and started working on the keyboard immediately.
"Mr. Chen, there are a large number of abnormal access links, and our official website has been hacked." The next second, another technician said.
Hearing this, Chen Fan's face darkened, these guys knew how to pick the time.
"Enable the 'intelligent core' defense module to block these abnormal links." Chen Fan stared at the display screen and ordered loudly.
"Understood." The technician followed the order.
The security system developed based on Smart Language can intelligently identify and isolate a large number of illegal intrusions.
"What's going on, Mr. Chen? The 'Smart Core' doesn't seem to be working. A large number of illegal links still exist, and the lag delay still reaches 1.7 seconds, and continues to increase."
Chen Fan stared at the large technical surveillance screen with a solemn look on his face.
Things are indeed not that simple. This is a rare opportunity. Countless netizens around the world visit the official website of the Shining Star Group. If the official website of the Shining Star Group crashes at this time, the shame will really be lost to the whole world.
Chen Fan's face turned pale and became extremely ugly. They must have used a large supercomputer, which is why these abnormal links are so difficult to deal with.
So the technicians all looked at Chen Fan, waiting for him to make up his mind.
The Shining Star Group is now fighting against the world's top hackers and countries that are hostile to the Shining Star Group. They are taking advantage of this moment to gather together to launch an attack. This time they are in danger.
"Brother Chen, how about I ask Mr. Zhou to come over and take care of it." A technician who was similar to Chen Fan looked at Chen Fan and said cautiously.
Hearing this, Chen Fan had a wry smile on his face. If he has any technical problems, he should contact Mr. Zhou. This seems to be a common practice of everyone in the Shining Star Group and it is not shameful. However, why is it so uncomfortable
Just when Chen Fan was about to accept the proposal, the data on the big screen suddenly changed shockingly.
"Hey! What's going on? All abnormal links have been terminated."
"Did Mr. Zhou take action? Sure enough, if he didn't take action, it would be fine. Once he did, they would all fall down."
"Haha! This tone is so exciting! Mr. Zhou is so powerful!"
“…”
All the technicians in the technology center looked at the large monitoring screen and celebrated with joy.
Chen Fan smiled helplessly. He really had no technical authority at all in front of these guys! However, with a leader like Zhou Xing, who shines like the sun, there is nothing anyone can do
Replace it!
With just a few words, Mr. Zhou solved such a big trouble. This level of efficiency is truly beyond human ability! Chen Fan looked at the monitoring data that had returned to normal, breathed a sigh of relief, and admired Zhou Xing even more in his heart.
Shining Star Group headquarters building, underground laboratory.
Zhou Xing sat in front of the holographic test bench, focusing on designing the drawings of a part. The holographic screen was constantly changing under the flick of his fingers, and the drawings of a part with a strange shape and precise structure were constantly being improved.
"Boss, I just dealt with a little trouble." Zhou Xiaozhi, who was standing next to the test bench to assist, suddenly reported to Zhou Xinghui.
"Huh? What's the little trouble?" Zhou Xing asked casually while focusing on what he was doing.
"Our official website was invaded by many hackers, and I blocked them all." Zhou Xiaozhi replied as if he was claiming credit.
"Well, please help me calculate the activation power of this energy concentrator." Zhou Xing seemed not to hear, nodded slightly, and ordered Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded and immediately began to calculate the design drawings modified by Zhou Xing.
"Boss, the maximum power of this energy concentrator can be evaporated to 572,000 horsepower, which is still far from the requirement you set!" After a few seconds, Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded. He designed the thing himself, and he had a rough idea in his mind.
"Boss, you should follow my suggestion and directly increase the size of the spacecraft so that you have more design space." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and said something to remind him.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused: "No, the first interstellar spacecraft is a 'classic' that can be mass-produced, and it will have to undertake a major 'mission' in the future. , the volume should not be too large.”
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, understanding what Zhou Xing meant and stopped trying to persuade him.
Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen and seriously thought about the direction of improvement of the energy concentrator.
In the future interstellar era, nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft will inevitably become the mainstream of human civilization. However, there are two main ways to utilize nuclear fusion power.
The first type: Since the universe is a vacuum environment and there is no medium such as water or air, propeller propulsion cannot be used. Instead, jet mode must be used. Nuclear fusion in the reactor generates a large amount of heat energy. When propellant (such as liquid hydrogen) is injected, the propellant will It expands rapidly when heated, and then ejects from the rear of the engine at high speed to generate thrust.
This kind of fusion power is simple to implement, but its utilization rate and propulsion loss are serious. At the same time, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory speed in terms of speed.
Second: The nuclear fusion reactor will produce a lot of high-speed moving ions. These high-energy particles move very fast, so they can use magnetic fields to control their ejection direction. This method is similar to the principle of ion rockets, ejecting high-speed particles from the tail of the rocket. The moving ions cause the spacecraft to recoil.
The advantages of this method are high propulsion, excellent speed, no need to carry any medium, and strong sustainability. However, it also has some shortcomings. This kind of engine needs to re-optimize and adjust the ion flow of the fusion reactor, and the engine material requirements Harsh, not that easy to make, and very expensive.
From the perspective of utilization, the first engine should be chosen, which can push human civilization to the interstellar era faster. However, from a long-term perspective, the second engine is the most important to consider. Although its manufacturing It is difficult and valuable, but as long as its efficiency is optimized to the extreme and mass-produced on a large scale, its cost can be greatly reduced.
"Boss, if one energy concentrator cannot meet the requirements, I suggest using two or four miniaturized energy concentrators." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing frowned: "In this case, the hull design will have to be overthrown and started from scratch."
"Boss, the overall performance of a dual-power system or a four-power system will be much better than a single power system. If you want to meet your design requirements, I still recommend using multiple power systems." Zhou Xiaozhi replied.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing immediately fell silent.
This point proposed by Zhou Xiaozhi has been emphasized before the design is implemented. However, if it is a multi-power system, the overall cost of the spacecraft will increase by more than 25%.
If this spacecraft is mass-produced in the future, the cost will be an astronomical figure, and Zhou Xing has been unable to make a decision.
Zhou Xing sighed and decided: "Let's do some more calculations! Or make a new design."
"Okay, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.
Zhou Xing nodded and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "By the way, what did you say just now?"
"Boss, a large number of hackers invaded our official website before, and I solved them." Zhou Xiaozhi claimed credit for Zhou Xing.
"Well, why did they invade our official website?" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and asked quickly: "By the way, how was the market survey going? How many people participated?"
"Boss, 790 million questionnaires have been collected, and the number of participants is increasing by 100,000 per second." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing nodded and asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "Huh? What is their general 'affordable expectation' for the price of life-extending gene technology?"
"Boss, 27.22% of people chose: 5%; 49.37% of people chose: 10; 15.71% of people chose: 20%; 7.7% of people chose: 30%. Judging from the current trend, the people generally accept: The 'selling price' of 10% of personal wealth." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile on his face. With so many people participating in this survey, with the influence of this "market survey", people's ability to accept the "market price" of life extension genes will be much better!
"Very good, we will release this data to the public in real time to warm up the upcoming press conference." Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction.
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded happily.
"Boss, do you need me to give you another push? Let more people know the news." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
Zhou Xing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful not to let others discover your traces."
"Understood, Xiaozhi will be very careful, no one can find me." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and said a little proudly.
Immediately, the human Internet, game websites, film and television websites, news websites, mobile networks... there were suddenly more topics discussing the life-extending gene technology of Shining Star Group, quickly leading those "marginal people" who had not paid attention to the "news" to the life-extending gene. Let’s talk about technology.
In less than a day, the Xingyao Group’s market survey on the “selling price” of life-extending gene technology immediately became a well-known event to all mankind.
At the same time, as Zhou Xiaozhi said, this kind of "adding fuel to the flames" would not exist without that country or force discovering its existence. Even the top hackers who invaded the official website of Shining Star Group were the same. No one could know about Zhou Xiaozhi The presence.
Moreover, Zhou Xing is too famous in the human world. He has dabbled in many fields. However, in the computer field, artificial intelligence is his special research direction. When he was in college, he created a guide that can lead the development of artificial intelligence. He wrote a paper on sex: "Binomial Criterion and Variables", and then he wrote a "Smart Language".
The top hackers made a big move to suddenly invade the official website of Shining Star Group and suffered a large-scale "failure". Apart from accepting their fate and admiring Zhou Xing's ability, no one would have thought that their opponent was someone else.
The news about the price of Shining Star Group's market-adjusted life-extending gene products went viral around the world. The situation suddenly changed, and the world's political landscape suddenly became more delicate.
The political attitudes of more and more countries are becoming clearer, and the move to leave the United States and join China suddenly becomes clear. However, the results will not become clear until Shining Star Group officially announces its breakthrough in life-extending gene technology.
The trend of major stock markets around the world suddenly became dangerous, as if a global economic crisis was about to come. The stock market led by the US Federal Reserve suddenly dropped significantly as a whole, and countless funds fled and evacuated frantically.
Once the Shining Star Group confirms and announces the genetic product that can extend human lifespan by five times, it will be the greatest day for the entire human society. Countless people are willing to spend money on it. No matter whether they are enemies or not, no one can give up on this invention.
Now the world's eyes are focused on Shining Star Group, waiting for its next move.
