Washington - Senior government officials gathered in the White House conference room, with President Reilus sitting at the chair of the conference table.
Overnight, President Rirus's hair turned white. He seemed to have not slept for several days, and his face was pale and haggard.
Shining Star Group is about to release a life-extending gene product. As soon as the news came out, it suddenly attracted global attention.
Being able to extend human life to five hundred years has made the whole world crazy, and no one can resist this temptation.
The technology to extend human life is controlled by the Shining Star Group. The political confrontation between China and the United States has plunged the American Federation into an extremely dangerous situation.
How many people can the life extension gene products of Shining Star Group satisfy? When will the news be announced and how much will it cost? How many people can live longer by the number of products? Are there any opportunities for countries hostile to China to enjoy this technology? …Countless people around the world are crazy about it.
Suddenly, countless countries had good relations with China, and a large amount of capital fled the United States.
President Rirus stared at the silent think tank expert group and asked helplessly: "Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak?"
The experts in the think tank were sweating heavily on their foreheads, and no one dared to look at them.
Before the last president stepped down, in order to resist the pressure of Shining Star Group and save the poor economy, the government debt expanded to 30 trillion.
Later, affected by the invasion of alien organisms, the Shining Star Group successively released flying cars, photonic computers... and so on, high-tech products that subverted human society... In the bad environment of the political confrontation between the two countries, global capital has flocked to the "vital" "China has caused huge damage to the global currency circulation ecology of the United States federal government.
As time goes by, the monetary system of the U.S. federal government has been damaged beyond repair and beyond redemption.
If the Shining Star Group publicly announces a successful breakthrough in life-extending gene technology, then the monetary system of the United States federal government will suffer the most severe challenge in history, and may even suffer an overall collapse.
"Mr. President, after the news from Shining Star Group, our currency index has dropped by 5.5%. This downward trend has no tendency to ease, and the situation is extremely dangerous." Finance Minister Northam looked pale and looked at Ruilu President Sri Lanka reported in despair.
In just one trading day, the decline reached -5.5%. For a world currency like the US dollar, that is a very scary thing.
There is an old adage in the foreign exchange market: "Buy expectations, sell facts."
The reaction of the foreign exchange market to news does not depend on whether they are "good" or "bad", but on whether they are "better" or "worse" than expected, and the expected information is already contained in the existing Among market exchange rates, exchange rates only change based on unexpected information.
The currency has fallen sharply. It is obvious that countless investors around the world are not optimistic about the future of the United States and have begun to sell U.S. dollar assets in large quantities.
Once this trend cannot be curbed, the Chinese dollar will soon replace it. The entire U.S. federal country will go bankrupt due to this currency devaluation, the country will be violently turbulent, and even the federal system will disintegrate.
"Mr. President, I suggest that this 'confrontation' end and there may be room for redemption by reaching a reconciliation with the Chinese government." Another senior official followed up.
After hearing this, President Rirus's face changed drastically, he stared at the speaker, and roared hysterically: "Bloom, do you know what you are talking about? This is not 'reconciliation', but 'surrender', you 'treason'" By'."
Bloom looked at President Rilus and said sadly: "Mr. President, we don't have a 'Xingyao Group', let alone a 'genius scientist'. Unless a war breaks out, we have already lost this confrontation."
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present darkened.
Yes.
As Bloom said, unless a war breaks out between the two countries, the outcome of this political "standoff" is indeed decided.
China has led the world into the fifth industrial revolution because of the successive revelations of advanced technologies by the Shining Star Group. The development of human civilization and technology has entered a new level. Virtual networks, photonic computers, life-extending genes, flying cars... various industries are present. There have been earth-shaking changes.
However, what does the American Federation have compared with the vibrant China
In addition to its "rich" foundation and its status as the maintainer of the "old order", the United States Federation has not been able to lead any of the world's technology industries. Instead, because of the relationship between Shining Star Group, all high-tech industries collectively fell, and the Internet industry was Virtual networks have replaced it, the automobile industry has been suppressed by the flying car industry, and electronic semiconductors have been defeated by photonic computers...
Thinking of the current predicament of the United States Federation, everyone at the scene looked extremely ugly.
As for the outbreak of war, everyone at the scene had this idea, but no one dared to say it.
Due to the relationship between the Shining Star Group, China's national strength is now different from what it used to be. Regardless of its economy, technology, population, or international influence... In terms of comprehensive war potential, it has put the United States Federation far away.
Moreover, if a war breaks out between two nuclear powers, it will be a long-term and terrifying event.
Both countries possess nuclear weapons that can destroy the world. One family tried its best to win the final victory, and the price paid was unimaginable.
Under extreme circumstances, nuclear war may completely destroy all mankind. No one can bear this risk as long as they are not crazy.
The Vice President looked at President Rirus and said conservatively: "Mr. President, I think we need to seriously consider Bloom's suggestion."
Hearing this, President Rilus's face changed drastically. He glanced around everyone's faces and asked in a voice, "Do you all think so? Do you know what this means?"
Once a "reconciliation" is reached with China, countries around the world will no longer buy their "account". The Chinese dollar will replace the US dollar as the world currency, which is equivalent to "giving up" the status of the world's "hegemon".
"Mr. President, our unemployment rate is ten times what it was five years ago, serious crime incidents resulting in shooting deaths have reached a staggering 2,231 this month, and the number of people in need of financial relief has reached an all-time high and continues to get worse..." Finance The minister suddenly reported to President Rirus on the state of the country's economy.
President Rirus looked pale. Once the previous monetary policy could not be continued, serious economic consequences would be immediately exposed.
The monetary system of the U.S. federal government has brought huge benefits to the country. Its finance is highly developed. More than 50% of its citizens generally have zero savings and pursue a model of early consumption in pursuit of quality of life. Once they are unemployed, their citizens will become homeless. homeless people, coupled with the proliferation of guns, once a major economic crisis breaks out in the country, the consequences will be extremely dire.
"Mr. President, China is our largest creditor, and we still have a chance!" The Finance Minister looked at President Rirus and persuaded.
Hearing this, President Rilus looked at him as if he were an idiot. This kind of self-deception was not something he could express.
"Shut up!" President Rilus yelled angrily.
After drinking, President Rilus glanced around at the faces of senior officials and experts. What he saw were numb and dull faces. He felt a little discouraged. In such a critical time, there was no way. If people can stand up, is there still hope for the future of the American Federation
"Knock, knock..." A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The dull conference room suddenly shook, and everyone looked towards the closed door.
There is currently a major meeting that affects the fate of the country. At this time, someone knocks on the door. It must be a very urgent matter.
A general who was sitting near the door stood up and walked over to open the door.
The door of the meeting opened, and President Rilus' secretary Kelina came into view. She reported anxiously: "Mr. President, sirs, Shining Star Group suddenly held a press conference to announce the status of life-extending gene technology."
President Rilus suddenly stood up and asked in a loud voice: "What! When did it happen?"
"I just received the news that the live broadcast is now going on." Kailina Hui reported.
President Rilus panicked and ordered to Kylena: "Why is it so sudden? Turn on the TV quickly."
"Mr. President, the market research on life-extending gene products has been brewing for fifteen days. The global media are squatting at the headquarters of Shining Star Group. The announcement now is not sudden." Bloom looked at President Rilus and explained.
President Rilus glanced at him coldly, and his eyes finally fell on the TV that Kylena turned on.
A large LCD screen of more than 100 inches showed a solemn venue, with a long table covered with long blue cloth, empty seats, and a bright nebula in the center of the background board, which was owned by the Shining Star Group. Under the giant LOOG, a huge line of words read: Press Conference on Human Life Extension Project.
In the conference room, everyone was breathing heavily, and everyone was staring at the large LCD screen with extremely complicated expressions.
President Rirus felt cold in his heart and his expression was dull.
The host and publisher are all officially at the table, and the press conference has not officially started yet.
…
Shining Star Group - Headquarters Building, press conference venue, reporters from media from all over the world gathered, each of them looked like they had been injected with blood, their eyes were red and their spirits were high.
The long-awaited day has finally come. Will the human lifespan of hundreds of years be rewritten on this day
Everyone looked eagerly at the end of the red carpet on the stage, anxiously waiting for that familiar "figure".
"Coming, coming!" Countless excited voices echoed in the crowd.
There was a "crack", and there was a commotion in the press box under the stage. Then, the sound of "click, click" the shutter resounded throughout the venue. The reporters frantically pressed the cameras in their hands to record the most important moment in the human world.
Under the flickering fluorescent lights, Zhou Xing was wearing a very formal black suit and with a bright smile on his face, he slowly walked towards the chairman's seat at the table.
Walking to his seat, Zhou Xing unbuttoned a button on his suit and sat down.
With a solemn and excited smile, Zhou Xing looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you everyone for participating in this press conference. It may be a bit rushed, but I think everyone can't wait."
Hearing this, the reporters in the audience all had bright eyes and nodded like garlic.
yes! yes! When there is any disturbance in the Shining Star Group, they are the ones who are most excited and concerned the most. However, the current market survey of the Shining Star Group lasts for too long, and their days are almost like years!
The smile on Zhou Xing's face dropped, he looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's get to the point now."
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the venue fell silent, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
The reporters held their breath and stared at Zhou Xing with countless fiery eyes.
With a solemn look on his face, Zhou Xing announced loudly: "Now I announce that the 10-year-long human life extension gene project has been a complete success, and the upper limit of human life span will be increased five times."
"Pa bang bang bang..." Fierce applause suddenly sounded.
With a "crash", the huge sound seemed to lift the ceiling of the venue. The reporters stood up one by one with excited expressions, clapped their hands wildly, hysterically venting their inner excitement.
"Did it really succeed? Great, great!"
"Mr. Zhou, you are my idol, you are the best in the world!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for mankind!"
"That's amazing! Mr. Zhou, you are really amazing."
"Haha! We can live to be five hundred years old. It's great, it's really great!"
“…”
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the solemn press conference turned into a sea of joy. Some reporters cried with joy, some hugged each other, and some laughed strangely and shouted... The scene became a mess, overwhelmed by the huge good news. The reporters forgot about their work responsibilities and celebrated with joy.
Journalists who wanted to flock to Zhou Xing to express their gratitude were cut off by the robot guards who maintained order and were unable to do so.
Zhou Xing sat on the stage and watched with a smile on his face. He understood their mood very well and waved to celebrate with them.
The joyful laughter lasted for nearly ten minutes
Zhou Xing coughed twice, and the noisy and joyful venue suddenly fell silent.
Everyone knew that Zhou Xing had something to say and stopped celebrating.
The venue gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Zhou Xing nervously. They realized a serious problem.
Although the life-extending gene project was successful, it was unknown how long it would take before this technology would be promoted to the market. Everyone at the scene became uneasy.
Zhou Xing smiled happily and continued to speak: "I am very happy to announce this news to everyone. A hundred years of life is very short. Although genetic technology has extended human lifespan to five hundred years, if we cannot make good use of these extra time, then it’s still meaningless.”
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. They didn't understand why Zhou Xing suddenly said such words. Isn't it time to announce the information and price of life extension gene products next
Seeing this, Zhou Xing smiled mysteriously and understood what everyone was thinking from their expressions.
"Have you done the questionnaire about the life extension gene project?" Zhou Xing glanced around the audience and asked with a smile.
"It's done!" A chorus of shouts shook the sky.
Everyone at the scene was stunned and answered Zhou Xing's question in unison.
