fifth day
In the political center of the imperial capital, in the solemn meeting room, leaders of various countries gathered together.
The meeting room is closed, this is an important meeting without the presence of media reporters.
On the podium, the leader finished his welcome speech and introduced Zhou Xing to the political heads of various countries, saying: "Next, I would like to invite Zhou Xing, a famous scientist in our country, to explain to everyone."
Soon, the door of the meeting room opened, and under the guidance of the staff, Zhou Xing stepped into the closed meeting room and walked towards the podium.
Zhou Xing stepped onto the podium, looked at the heads of state who were often on the TV screen, and introduced himself: "Hello, leaders, I am Zhou Xing."
Hearing this, the scene was silent for a while, and sharp eyes were directly on Zhou Xing's face, with complicated eyes.
It is because of this guy that Huaxia seems to have turned on the engine, and the speed of its rise has suddenly increased, and the world structure has undergone tremendous changes.
Even more absurd, an academic speech by this guy is like lighting a fuse, detonating the bomb of the global real estate crisis. The current situation of countries is very similar to that when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 08.
"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, the US Secretary of State - Lepson looked at him gloomyly and asked aggressively.
How could Zhou Xing accept such a big scapegoat?
"Your Excellency, 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 at the right time." Zhou Xing denied it with a slight smile, and then explained, "No Housing prices that only rise but not fall, compared with ten years ago, the purchasing power of global financial currencies has dropped by about 52%. However, the increase in housing prices is more than 355%, which means that there is a huge bubble in the global real estate industry. Now it is this The result of the bubble bursting."
Hearing this, Secretary of State Lepson's face darkened, and he couldn't 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.
Lepson retorted in a calm voice: "No, your academic speech is mixed with your personal interests. Because of your fame and status, this impure academic speech caused this financial crisis. You have to take responsibility for this matter." Responsible."
"Your Excellency, hasn't your country always advertised 'freedom of speech'? Why are you asking me to take responsibility for my 'speech' now? There is one thing I think you forgot, I am not a citizen of your country, I only recognize the Chinese Law, you have no right to accuse me of anything, including my 'speech'." Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Lepson and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lepson snorted coldly.
As Zhou Xing said, he is not a citizen of their country, and if he wants to punish him, he cannot bypass a country.
"Ahem, Xiao Zhou, let me introduce you to the situation of the cryogenic stasis chamber first!" Seeing Lepson's unfriendly gaze, the leader coughed dryly twice, then changed the subject and said, "How sure are you that the cryogenic stasis chamber will be closed?" Has it been developed? As for life-extending biotechnology, tell me, how much investment is needed to realize it?"
Hearing this, the heads of state gave up watching Lepson's jokes, fixed their eyes on Zhou Xing, and waited for his answer.
Before this meeting, the heads of state frequently contacted the Chinese government in order to confirm the authenticity of cryogenic hibernation chambers, virtual technology, and longevity biotechnology.
Immortality is the pursuit of all nations in the world, and nothing is so important compared with human pursuit of immortality.
Many of the politicians present are already quite old, and the low-temperature hibernation chamber and longevity biotechnology can be developed, which is exactly when they urgently need this technology.
If they don't have time to use the longevity technology, they will also be remembered by history for promoting the application of this technology.
This is a very rare historical opportunity.
The only thing that the heads of state are worried about is cryogenic hibernation chamber and longevity biotechnology. How sure is Zhou Xing of being able to research it? They urgently need a definite answer.
Zhou Xing nodded, and briefly introduced the situation of the human body's temperature system: "Okay, the term human body's constant temperature system is actually wrong. The metabolism of human cells is a process of continuous heat production, and metabolism accelerates to produce too much heat. Body temperature is regulated by Controlled by the temperature regulation center of the cerebellum, it achieves the effect of constant body temperature by changing skin heat dissipation (relaxing pores), dilating blood vessels (accelerating blood circulation, accelerating heat dissipation) or tightening (reducing heat dissipation), etc. "
"The human physiological system is a very stable structure, which cannot be maintained when a serious disease occurs. We can use biowave technology to affect and change the biological system of the human system, indirectly destroy the temperature regulation mode, reduce the energy intake of the human body, and reduce the metabolic production of the human body. Heat, in turn, promotes the influence of biological waves,..." Zhou Xing introduced the operating principle of the cryogenic dormancy chamber in detail.
After pausing for a moment, Zhou Xing looked around the audience and said confidently: "The core component of the cryogenic stasis chamber is the biological wave simulator. With experience in the development of biological chips, I am [-]% sure to develop it."
"What about life-prolonging biotechnology? How sure are you?" Zhou Xing just finished speaking, and a rush of English was eagerly spread.
Zhou Xing looked at the senior Caucasian official who was asking questions with a London accent, and said with a smile: "I have a research and development direction of longevity biotechnology with a very high probability, and the probability of success is above 60%. However, to develop it requires many biological Scientists assist."
With a sound of "crash", the venue immediately became chaotic.
"Really? 60% so high?"
"How many people are needed to assist? How long will it take to get results?"
"What kind of research and development direction? How did you determine the probability of success?"
"..."
As soon as Zhou Xing's words fell, the leaders attending the meeting looked excited, and questions were thrown out of their mouths one after another.
Seeing the excitement, joy, and tension of the political leaders, Zhou Xing's originally tense spirit relaxed in vain. Even though these politicians are at the 'peak' of the world, they are still human!They also have the same seven emotions and six desires, and the same fear of death.
"Leaders, if you want to understand the research direction of life-prolonging biotechnology, you must first know the reason for our human aging." Zhou Xing smiled slightly and said in standard fluent English.
Hearing this, the venue fell silent, and everyone stopped asking questions and listened quietly to Zhou Xing's explanation.
"There are many reasons for our human aging: 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; cell aging: the human body is formed from the above Composed of hundreds of millions of cells, with the increase of age and the continuous division of cells, the number of cells in the human body will continue to decrease, and the life span of people will gradually decline; the function of the endocrine reproductive system is hypofunction: gonads, thyroid, adrenal glands , thymus, pituitary and other functions will induce the rapid aging of the human body. Human metabolism is not normal: ... and so on," Zhou Xing introduced in detail.
After talking a lot in one breath, Zhou Xing paused for a while before continuing: "Of course, there is another most important factor affecting human aging, and that is the DNA that gave 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 situations.”
"I need to fully understand human genes to be able to implement life extension technology. However, this is a very large systematic project." Zhou Xing looked around the audience and said solemnly.
Hearing this, the dignitaries of various countries at the venue looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time showing a look of understanding.
As Zhou Xing said, human genes are a huge system and very mysterious.
American scientists proposed the Human Genome Project in 1985 and officially launched it in 1990.Scientists from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and my country jointly participated in the Human Genome Project, aiming to unlock all the codes of about 2.5 genes in the human body and draw a map of human genes at the same time.In other words, it is to uncover the secrets of the 2.5 billion base pairs that make up the 30 genes in the human body.
