Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 176 [Achieving the Effect of a "United Front"]

After the interview, the media released it the next day. It was a twenty-minute interview video.

Once it was released, it became the hottest topic at the beginning of the new year. Opinions from all walks of life collided with each other and discussions were launched from all aspects.

In a sense, this will bring greater changes to human society on Earth than room-temperature superconducting materials.

However, it is particularly worth mentioning that after watching the interview video, whether it is the absolute majority of ordinary people, or the rich and elites, all groups from upper, middle and lower levels are surprisingly unanimous in their yearning and support for Xiao Yu's promotion of single-organ cloning technology.

Support became the mainstream voice.

It’s simple. Who doesn’t want to double their “health bar”?
The blueprint for the future that Xiao Yu described in the interview has an irresistible appeal to human beings.

The breakthrough in single-organ cloning technology can extend the average human lifespan to more than 200 years, and it is not ruled out that it can reach 300 years, which is equivalent to the life cycle of a dynasty. According to what Xiao Yu described, living to more than 200 years old will become the norm. Who can refuse this?
Big data shows that the average life expectancy of humans worldwide in 2022 is about 72 years old, which is equivalent to increasing the "blood bar" by two or even three times.

Even if Xiao Yu was just making empty promises, everyone would still like to eat it.

There is no way. It is really hard to resist the temptation of doubling or even several times the health bar. This temptation is higher than wealth and power, because both of them require life to enjoy.

This time the public also loved it and supported it, because Xiao Yu clearly stated a goal in the interview video, which is to reduce the comprehensive cost of single organ cloning and transplantation surgery to around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

He dared to say that, but no one else dared to think that way.

But everyone really likes to hear it, because at a cost of thirty to fifty thousand yuan, even ordinary people can afford an organ transplant.

In particular, Xiao Yu directly stated in the interview video that he would not leave himself any room for maneuver. He would never allow "money-dominated distribution" to occur, and he must adhere to the principle of "equal life opportunities". He also finalized his statement with the four words "no room for negotiation".

It is hard not to gain support from the middle and lower class masses.

The middle and upper class elites and wealthy people will undoubtedly be more supportive than the general public because they are more eager to extend their lifespans.

As for whether it is "money-dominated distribution" or "equal life opportunities", these are secondary issues in the eyes of the elites and wealthy groups. Instead, they must first break through the technology, which is the premise of everything.

If this technology is not developed, then nothing we say will be of any use.

Based on this major premise, the upper class will certainly support developing it first. Whether it is "money-driven distribution" or "equal opportunities in life", these things are things that will be done after the single-organ cloning technology is developed.

Similarly, even if there are potential problems, including a series of problems arising from this and the impact on the existing social structure, even if they exist and even if we know about them, we will put them aside for now and wait until the technology is developed.

...Just after Xiao Yu's interview video was released, those big names in the field of bioengineering who had promised Chu Jinmeng to switch to Lingjing Technology also watched it. This actually dispelled their concerns, especially since Xiao Yu clearly stated the principle of "equal opportunities in life" in the interview video. Just for this reason, they no longer hesitated.

Because Xiao Yu's idea may be more important to them than salary, funding promises and the like. Because those who work in this field have to face many unavoidable difficulties at the moral and ethical levels, Xiao Yu's idea can provide great comfort at the moral level.

Three days later, the first group of people arrived in Linzhou City and officially joined Lingjing Technology.

They are all true scientific experts in the field of modern bioengineering. Others will also come, but a little later and need to hand over their original work.

On Monday afternoon, February 2, Xiao Yu took time out to receive a guest in his sixties at his home.

At this time, Xiao Yu, Chu Jinmeng and the guest were staying in the living room of the villa. Chu Jinmeng immediately looked at Xiao Yu and said with a smile: "This is my doctoral supervisor, Mr. Chen Shuding. He is a top-notch expert in the field of cell engineering, and he is also an expert in the professional fields of genetic engineering and biochemical engineering."

Chu Jinmeng turned to look at her mentor Chen Shuding and introduced him: "He is Xiao Yu, who founded Lingjing Technology, AVIC Linfei and HP Fund."

After a brief introduction, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Shuding, who was already in his sixties, and said with a polite smile: "I often hear Jin Meng mention you. I have long admired your achievements in the field of single organ cloning technology. I have long wanted to communicate with you in person. With your participation, I am more willing to invest in the field of single organ cloning."

Talents must naturally be fully respected. After all, Xiao Yu is the founder of Lingjing Technology, and the other party is someone who came to seek refuge.

However, Chu Jinmeng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, wondering if he had often talked to him about Chen Shuding?
At this time, Chen Shuding also said politely: "Mr. Xiao is young and promising. He has conquered the room-temperature superconducting material that humans have been pursuing for more than a hundred years and has won the 'holy grail' of the material industry. He has also achieved mass production of graphene and is leading the world in the field of artificial intelligence. These are profoundly changing the world. Compared with my little achievements in my own industry, they are not worth mentioning."

When two parties meet for the first time, polite words are inevitable.

But there was no excessive pleasantries. After a few business pleasantries, the conversation shifted to single-organ cloning technology.

At this moment, Chen Shuding was amazed and said, "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that the interview video with Mr. Xiao would have such a big effect. It's rare that people from all walks of life have reached a united front on this issue, making the voice of support almost the absolute mainstream."

The three people present understood the reason.

Few people can resist things like extending lifespan and doubling health bar.

However, Chen Shuding was indeed quite surprised, because the application of cloning technology in conquering diseases and delaying aging is no longer a new thing, but in the same situation, everyone bought it when Xiao Yu mentioned it, and it was rare for rich people and ordinary people to reach a "united front" on this matter.

These people who have been doing research in the industry for decades have made many big promises, but not many people buy into them.
