As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 292 Eternal Life
The direction of public opinion is always changing. When Dong Ge’s Minnesota incident came out, he was ridiculed by the Internet public opinion. However, with the change of the overall atmosphere in recent years, Dong Ge’s reputation has improved a lot.

On the contrary, Lao Ma, who was previously called "Papa Ma" by the public online, is now the target of public opinion.

No one can please everyone.

The same is true for those at the top who control the resources.

This is especially true for top billionaires who are as flamboyant as Musk.

Therefore, after Musk announced that he was about to become a wizard, many people mocked him on Twitter.

Negative public opinion about Musk cannot change his growing success in his career.

As early as during the election debate, Romney (the Republican presidential candidate in 2012) publicly called Tesla a "loser."

The result is that Tesla’s stock price has soared, and new energy has become a consensus among different classes in countries around the world.

Of course, it was not until 2012 that Musk began to disrespect the Republican Party in public.

Golden Retriever said at the rally that Musk would vote for him, to which Musk directly replied on Twitter: I don’t.

Of course, he has also publicly fought back against extremists in the Democratic Party.

Back then, Sanders asked the richest people to pay their fair share of taxes.

Musk fired back directly: "I keep forgetting you're alive."

Such a flamboyant character, and his tough counterattack against all those who oppose him and affect his interests.

This leads to the fact that even in America, which is full of people who appreciate histrionic personalities, there are also a large number of people who hate Musk.

"Musk is not a good choice, his personality can easily get out of control.

Are you sure you can control him?

Now magic has not shown capabilities far beyond our imagination.

Or rather, our mages did not perform beyond our expectations.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean Musk can’t master it.

If Musk loses control, our harvesting plan may be affected to some extent.”

“If the life-extending potion gives us real hope for extending our lifespans in the future, then magic is the key to making it all happen.

After using the life-extending medicine over the past year, the quality of life of each of us has improved.

The disadvantaged life-extending potion that was jointly reverse-engineered by the Europa League and China alone has such an effect.

Not to mention the real life-extending potion in his hand.

Although Musk's talent in scientific research is far inferior to that of Zheng of China.

But his strongest point is management ability, especially his grasp of scientific research and technological routes.

We need him to work for us, but as for mastering his methods, I don't think we need to worry too much.

Is there anyone more out of control than Musk?
Musk has a wife, children, and parents, and has so many means of control.

Even he could give up all these.

What about his business, his company?
Musk has so many trajectories on the blue planet that there is almost no possibility of losing control.

Even if things get out of control, we still have the option of negotiation.”

He meant Merlin.

The elders in this conference room who directly or indirectly hold most of the power in America and even the world are particularly afraid of Merlin.

They regard the Blue Star as a pasture and consider themselves shepherds.

As for Merlin, they saw him as a wild beast that had strayed into the pasture.

If the beast does not demonstrate sufficient ability, then it will have to accept the fate of being hunted.

But if the beast shows enough threat to the shepherd, then the shepherd will choose to give part of the flock to the beast in exchange for his own safety.

Especially after seeing an old friend around him being cursed by Merlin and then dying of depression.

Even when they were meeting in a place isolated from the Internet, they never called Merlin by his real name again.

“Since I gave

The life-extending potion is indeed a good thing, and we need to step up our efforts in negotiations with the European Union.

We need to pool global resources to advance the development of life-extending drugs.

In addition, is China still unwilling to give up on the brain-computer connection technology?

Brain-computer connection technology is also critical. Does China still not want us to intervene in the advancement of brain-computer connection technology? "

For these people, extending their lifespan is the most important thing.

In order to prolong life, we will do everything possible.

When there was no life-extending potion, they tried various methods to extend their lifespan.

Among them, life span is prolonged by replacing the blood in one's body with fresh blood all year round.

Replacing old blood with young blood has always been an idea.

There is similar speculation in modern medicine that blood transfusion can prolong life.

According to public information, scientists conducted similar public experiments in the 1950s.

As for how many similar experiments were conducted privately during the war years of the last century, there is no trace of them in public records.

In the early 21st century, scientists at Stanford University reproduced a similar experiment.

They paired live mice, young mice with old mice, peeled their skin and sewed their sides together.

In this way, the old mice and the young mice shared the same circulatory system.

After a month, the scientists found that the muscles and livers of the old mice had shown signs of rejuvenation.

The findings, published in 2005, suggest that young blood can rejuvenate older people.

Subsequently, some American startups engaged in research and promotion in related fields.

For example, Ambrosia provides young plasma to the elderly.

Subsequently, these startups were closed down by the American Food and Drug Administration for various reasons.

For example, the lack of proven clinical trials, potential safety issues, etc.

There is an obvious paradox here: the Food and Drug Administration does not authorize clinical trials, but at the same time accuses you of putting the product on the market without sufficient clinical trials.

Clinical trials also require authorization.

The reason why Ke Chuang Bio's endorphin was able to quickly obtain clinical trial authorization in America was thanks to Cheng Gang's connections in relevant institutions.

America has made it clear that it does not want these companies researching this technology route to survive.

Natural administrative barriers are set up.

This resulted in none of the companies that wanted to go down this path being able to survive.

In 2016, a company called Jesse Karmazin provided whole plasma transfusions to young people.

They claim it is a way to fight aging.

Soon the FDA issued a warning to consumers: plasma transfusions from young people have not been clinically proven to be effective for aging or its diseases.

And as with any plasma product, infusions can carry risks.

Then Jesse Karmazin ceased operations.

The FDA statement said procedures like his "should" be done under an active Investigational New Drug Application.

But the FDA will not grant you authorization.

In fact, relevant experiments have been ongoing, and blood can indeed reverse aging.

It's just not convenient for the public to know.

If the public were to know, the world would become more naked and cruel, which would be detrimental to the shepherds’ management.

If everyone knew that replacing blood with young people could prolong life, there would be countless institutions that would provide similar services.

First of all, forget about donating blood for free. No one will donate blood for free.

Secondly, the price of young people's blood will increase significantly, which is not conducive to the struggle of young people and the normal operation of society.

Young people in America can live a good life just by selling blood and receiving social welfare.

In this case, the working population will decline further, which is unacceptable.

As for why the elderly people here would give so much welfare to the lower class.

In fact, these are not welfare benefits, but debts, which are only loaned to them temporarily.

Sooner or later the price will have to be paid.

Always remember that printing money is the real secret to wealth transfer.

For these old men who call themselves shepherds, they don't mind America's debt piling up or printing money in a big way.

Because America is also their target, but this bubble needs to be burst in the end.

Therefore, only a very small number of people can enjoy blood transfusion.

Even the American mages had never enjoyed similar treatment.

Before Merlin's arrival, blood was the only method Bluestar had discovered that could slow down or even reverse aging.

The elderly people present here have blood transfusions every year, replacing most of their blood with young people's blood.

Their internal research on the use of young blood to extend lifespan is already advanced.

Young blood may even be effective in preventing the progression of Alzheimer's disease and expected mental decline.

After the life-extending potion was developed, scientists in America's secret laboratory quickly came up with a new method.

It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to reverse engineer the life-extending potion in a short period of time.

But the above requirements are very urgent, and their demand for life span is unlimited.

Some scientists come up with brilliant ideas.

Since the life-extending potion can only extend life by one year if used directly, it would be better if young people use the potion and then their blood is donated to the elderly.

Can the life span be extended even longer in this way?

After simple clinical experiments, scientists found that replacing blood with blood that had been treated with life-extending drugs could have better effects.

The effect is at least three times that of directly using life-extending potions.

The elderly people present had never felt so good before.

The scientist who came up with this idea received a huge reward.

While the outside world is still arguing about the high price of life-extending potions, some people have already discovered new uses for them.

The price of the life-extending potion is 20 Euros per piece, and the price in China is 20 RMB.

This is just the public price. Due to limited production capacity, the price of the life-extending potion sold by scalpers is actually over 800,000 RMB.

It also depends on the peak and off seasons.

Sometimes life-extending potions simply cannot be circulated on the market.

At this time, scalpers are dumbfounded because they can’t use their money.

The situation abroad is also like that of having a price but no demand.

"We need to give the Europa League some warning.

Things like life-extending potions, which benefit the lifespan of all mankind, cannot be controlled solely by the Europa Union.

The European Union has too much to rely on us to help London.

Don't let them take control so quickly.

In addition, China should also find something for them to do.

Brain-computer connection technology does not necessarily need to rely on China.

According to Musk, China's grasp of brain-computer interface technology is very superficial.

It is still a long way from the real brain-computer connection technology.

In other words, the brain-computer connection technology developed by Zheng only involves the conversion of brain nerve signals into electrical signals.

As for the memory and soul uploading that we hope to achieve, Zheng from China has never studied this area at all.

We don’t need to put too much energy on China, and we can let Musk lead the research in this field in the future.”

Physical immortality is too difficult, almost impossible.

But electronic immortality is possible.

That is to say, eternal life in the virtual world.

Previously they thought it was just uploading memories, but after the soul was proven to exist, it was still necessary to upload the soul.

The difficulty is incomparable.

“Recently, scientists from the Europa Union discovered that when humans die, their soul particles will escape into a higher dimensional space.

I feel this technical route is difficult to implement.

We need to find materials that can restrain the soul.

This is the only way to achieve electronic immortality.

What we previously thought of as immortality is actually just the creation of an artificial intelligence with our memories.

Rather than our own survival.”

They have been chasing eternal life.

When you have power, wealth and everything else in your hands, all you want to pursue is eternal life.

Eternal life is the deep desire of human nature to transcend biological limitations, transcend death, and achieve immortality.

Most of the people here are over 100 years old, and the oldest ones are over 120 years old.

There are even some that span three centuries.

In their long lives, they have come into contact with countless concepts of immortality, tried countless methods, and seen countless research plans.

They have always felt that electronic immortality is unreliable.

The earliest electronic immortality can be traced back to the 1930s, when John Campbell wrote "The Infinite Brain".

The novel tells the story of an artificial brain, invented by Ruble, that exactly replicates the mechanical and electrical processes that occur in the human brain.

Then came Hamilton's "The Immortal Mind", which mentioned transfers between brains, and was able to scan all the neural connection networks in the human brain and replicate them simultaneously.

Similar concepts have appeared countless times in science fiction works, and the two mentioned above are just the earliest examples.

But electronic immortality has always existed only in science fiction.

In fact, there are very few scientists who study this thing.

Even those of you here who are very interested in immortality and have access to massive resources have basically not invested any resources in this field.

Because after the electrons become immortal, how can you guarantee your authority? This is a problem.

More importantly, after electronic immortality, will you still be you?
Now there is a way to prove that you are still you, and that is to judge through soul particles.

But the question is how to store the soul?

Today's mainstream storage devices can only store information.

As for storing the soul, memories must also be stored at the same time, and the soul and memories must be strongly linked together.

There are too many difficult problems to overcome.

It is Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology that gives them a glimmer of hope.

This is why they want to acquire brain-computer connection technology to advance the field of electronic immortality.
