Views:

Because of Zhou Xiaozhi's relationship, news about life-extending gene technology has been widely spread around the world. In just ten days, the number of visits to the Shining Star Group's official website is close to the total population of the world, and the number of people who participated in the questionnaire is close to one-third.

The most important item in the Shining Star Group's questionnaire is about the selling price of the extended gene.

The audience watching the press conference was inexplicably nervous about Zhou Xing's question.

Zhou Xing looked at the audience and said gratefully: "Thank you all very much. It is your active participation that enables our company to obtain the most complete public opinion data in the world, which is very important for the pricing of life-extending gene products."

The venue was silent.

Everyone stared at Zhou Xing nervously, afraid of learning an "unattainable" price from Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing's smile faded and he showed a solemn look, and continued to introduce: "Life extension gene products are a technology that goes against the basic normal development of human society. When our life span is extended to 500 years, human society will have huge consequences. Variety."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Zhou Xing suddenly said this!

week Something imminent.”

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience couldn't help but show worried looks. This problem is very serious. Human beings are trapped on the earth, and wars continue to compete for survival resources. If the human life span is extended to 500 years, what will the entire human world be like?

After a pause, Zhou Xing raised his second finger and continued to introduce: "The second change: 2% of the world's population controls more than 50% of the world's wealth. Once the human life span is extended to 500 Years later, this wealth proportion will be solidified for a long time.”

"The third change is that human lifespan is extended to five hundred years, and the idea of reproduction... the general outlook on life and the world will definitely undergo a huge change."

"The fourth change is that human life span will be extended to 500 years, and the global population will enter a long period of 'adolescence', which will cause huge employment pressure on human society, and human society may lead to a huge turmoil."

"The fifth change..."

“…”

All in all, Zhou Xing listed a dozen huge changes in total, and very accurately deduced the bad situation of human society after human beings extend their life span by 500 years.

Thinking of the scene described by Zhou Xing, the reporters in the audience shuddered.

"Mr. Zhou, because these problems will arise, do you plan to cancel the announcement of the life-extending gene product?"

"Mr. Zhou, are you too worried?"

"These changes are just speculation. Mr. Zhou, do you have other plans?"

"Mr. Zhou, since you have studied the impact so thoroughly, do you have a solution?"

“…”

The auditorium, which had been silent for a few seconds, became a mess with a "crash", and reporters impatiently asked Zhou Xing questions.

Zhou Xingxu waved his hand, looked at the noisy group of reporters, and demanded: "Everyone, please be patient. There will be a Q&A session later."

The venue fell silent, and reporters stared closely at Zhou Xing, not daring to ask questions at will.

Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction and continued to explain: "Technology changes life. Life extension gene products satisfy our longed for life extension. At the same time, it will also bring huge negative effects to mankind, and even make it difficult to maintain human civilization." situation."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened, fearing that Zhou Xing would suddenly become impatient and cancel the release of the life-extending gene product.

Zhou Xing looked at the audience and said with a smile: "However, life extension gene technology is a technology that even I cannot give up. I believe no one can give up this technology, right?"

Hearing this, the reporters all showed eagerness and nodded like garlic.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing smiled happily and suddenly reached out to operate a holographic projector placed on the exhibition table.

With a "swish", a beam of light was projected from the hologram, forming a rectangular holographic projection above the conference table, about one meter high and wide, three or four meters long, filled with green light curtain.

Seeing this scene, the reporters were like sharks smelling blood, their eyes were bright and they were inexplicably excited.

"Click, click..." A series of camera shutter clicks sounded from the auditorium.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and reached out to touch the holographic projector to retrieve the content to be projected.

There was a soft "buzz" sound, and the empty green holographic screen changed, showing a spaceship with a very sci-fi color, a slender hull, two arc-shaped power boosters at the tail, forming an inverted triangle three-dimensional structure, and the overall shape was flat. The structure, the oversized porthole at the bow, and the internal situation in the command room are clearly visible.

There was a chorus of "wow", and as soon as the holographic screen appeared, the quiet auditorium became a mess again.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Why is it a spaceship? Do you want to make a movie?"

"Mr. Zhou, you made a mistake! Didn't you release a life-extending gene product today?"

"Mr. Zhou! What are you going to do?"

“…”

The excited reporters scrambled to question Zhou Xing at the conference table, and the crowd was excited.

"It's called 'Xingyao', with a body length of 320 meters, a tail width of 79.2 meters, and a height of 13.7 meters... Empty weight: 17,000 tons, load capacity: 800,000 tons... It uses a high-energy ion engine, with a maximum thrust of 30 billion horsepower. The fastest flight speed can reach 17% of the speed of light... Internal equipment, ecological room, planting room, dormancy room, fitness room, command room... Estimated cost: 700 billion yuan." Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen and looked at the auditorium Introduced to everyone in detail:

The reporters fell silent and stared at Zhou Xing dumbfounded.

What is Zhou Xing going to do? Isn’t today a launch event for life-extending gene products? Why is he introducing this spaceship inexplicably now

Ignoring the stunned crowd in the audience, Zhou Xing stared at the "Xingyao" on the holographic screen and continued to explain with regret: "'Xingyao' is still a semi-finished product, and it will take a long time to perfect its design. Time, and more importantly, the hull of the 'Xingyao' is large and small, involving 90,000 types of parts and hundreds of new aerospace materials. It requires perfecting and improving the manufacturing process. This is a very huge project... "

"Mr. Zhou, isn't today a press conference for life-extending gene products? What is your purpose of announcing the 'Xingyao' to us?" A male voice suddenly sounded in the silent auditorium, asking in confusion.

Zhou Xing came back to his senses, looked at the audience, and nodded: "I can answer this question in advance. Yes, today is indeed the launch of the life extension gene product. As for why I announced the 'Xingyao' to everyone, the reason is, It’s because ‘Xingyao’ can solve the hidden dangers brought by life-extending gene products to human civilization.”

Zhou Xing looked at the audience and introduced: "In my design concept, the Xingyao is a long-distance exploration ship. It has a complete ecological system, a huge living space, complete living facilities, and contains engineering robots. , biological 3D printer, nano medical cabin, collection engineering vehicle, ecological breeding center... etc., suitable for: 50-200 people to carry out interstellar exploration, once the design drawing of 'Xingyao' is completed, as well as the layout of the production chain, the overall cost It will be possible to greatly reduce the number of ships, and then we can produce tens of thousands of 'Xingyao', or build larger spaceships, or build large space bases to meet the ever-expanding human population."

The reporters in the audience were stunned by Zhou Xing's grand idea and were dumbfounded.

One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a madman. At this moment, Zhou Xing is an out-and-out "madman" in the eyes of everyone. When all mankind is still immersed in cheering for extending his life to 500 years, he has already Set our sights further into space.

There was a "buzz" sound, and the silent auditorium became commotion again, making a "buzz" sound.

"Is this possible? Can such a huge spaceship fly?"

"Okay! Don't forget that he is Zhou Xing! He is good at creating miracles."

"The 'Xingyao' is so beautiful. When can we ride on it!"

“…”

Build tens of thousands of Xingyao ships and build large space bases, how dare you think about it! The reporters looked at Zhou Xing with intense eyes and couldn't help but excitedly discuss it with the people around them.

Looking at the auditorium where order was once again in disarray, Zhou Xing coughed twice and reluctantly advised: "Ahem, everyone, please keep quiet."

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the venue fell silent.

The reporters kept their mouths shut, looked at Zhou Xing with admiration, and listened to him quietly.

"Once life-extending gene products start to be sold, the global population will immediately lead to the fastest growth. At this time, only the aerospace industry can save human society and save the current bad global economic environment... In order to achieve this ambitious goal as soon as possible, Xingyao The group needs a large number of partners to participate." Zhou Xing preached impassionedly.

After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at the audience and announced with a smile: "Next, I will announce something that you are most concerned about, about the information and prices of life-extending gene products."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, held their breath and stared at Zhou Xing uneasily, extremely nervous.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and introduced: "The life extension gene product is a genetic injection. It requires a total of twelve injections to specifically modify the sequence of human aging genes. Injection once a year gradually repairs the human body's aging body, and ultimately achieves longevity. As for the conditions for longevity, everyone has filled out the market survey questionnaire on life extension genes, and you can probably guess the charging model I plan to adopt."

Do we really want to charge according to the proportion of personal wealth

Hearing this, the reporters were slightly stunned and looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief, astonished.

Zhou Xing looked at the audience and announced firmly: "That's right, we charge according to the ratio of personal wealth. The life-extending gene medicine charges 10% of personal wealth at one time."

After saying that, Zhou Xing smiled slightly and continued to announce the important news: "Next, Shining Star Group is planning to establish a public welfare fund in the aerospace field and invest all the profits from life-extending gene products. This fund will be subject to public supervision and supervision. It is only used in the aerospace field and not for other uses. I hope everyone can accept this sales model."

Hearing this, the reporters were once again stunned. Does Zhou Xing really not want a penny for this huge wealth

Zhou Xing smiled and announced: "After the introduction, as per the old rules, let's move on to the question-and-answer session."

With a "crash", a "forest of arms" was set up in the audience. The reporters who had been "hungry" for a long time raised their arms and looked at Zhou Xing eagerly.

Zhou Xing smiled, nodded to a female reporter wearing a blue suit and said, "Madam, you will ask the first question."

The female reporter stood up excitedly, took the microphone handed to her by the staff, and said eagerly: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xu Jing, a reporter from Oriental Express. History will definitely remember today. You not only changed the life span of all mankind, but , and are also preparing to implement a great plan to build a spaceship. You are my most admired idol."

Xu Jing praised Zhou Xing, and then continued: "However, not everyone's character is as noble as yours. The charging model of 10% of personal wealth is a huge amount for some rich people, but for some poor people People are just an insignificant number, and this charging model is very difficult to implement. What prompted this decision? Do you have a way to do it? "

Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled, looked at Xu Jing, nodded happily and said: "Ms. Xu, thank you for your appreciation. No matter whether you are rich or poor, life should be equal. I think it is best to charge fees based on personal wealth ratio." Fair way.”

After a pause, Zhou Xingzhi looked at the camera and smiled with great confidence: "All the profit funds from the life extension gene project will be used as construction funds in the aerospace field to seek living space for all mankind. I promise not to use any of it privately. I hope everyone can consciously pay this amount." For a fee, I have a way to implement this charging model. Everyone has two opportunities to try and make mistakes. Dishonest people will not deserve the right to enjoy an extended life."

Hearing this, everyone was startled and looked at Zhou Xing in confusion, wondering where he was coming from.

There are more than 7 billion people in the world. How can Zhou Xing know everyone’s property? Otherwise, how would he know how much each person’s 10% personal wealth would be

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your answer, but I am skeptical." Xu Jing looked at Zhou Xing with disbelief and said helplessly.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, time will tell everything. The pre-sale of life extension gene products will start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please visit our company's official website to order!" Zhou Xing smiled and announced in public.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xing smiled mysteriously, faced the camera, and solemnly reminded: "Please remember my words carefully. There are only two chances to try and make mistakes. Once you are dishonest, the life-extending gene product may not be available to you in this life." , I hope you will remember my words and be an honest person."

The reporters looked at Zhou Xing blankly, confused, not understanding what he meant.
