Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 179 [Budget and planning for investment in this area]

Who says scientists don’t understand the ways of the world? Who says scientists have high IQ but low EQ?
Professor Chen's words really raise his emotional intelligence index to the highest level.

In fact, it is impossible for people with high IQ to have low EQ. They are just too lazy to waste their expressions and display their EQ in front of ordinary people or ordinary things. Ultimately, it is a question of whether they are important enough in other people's hearts.

Obviously, Xiao Yu already has a very important position in Chen Shuding's heart. Apart from anything else, this young man will be his new employer and boss in the future.

But then again, Chen Shuding's words were not all about praising each other's emotional intelligence. He was really surprised by some of Xiao Yu's insights. He really believed that if Xiao Yu could focus on the research in the field of monomer organs with his talent, he might have achieved results that were no less than the breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity in the materials field.

In fact, Professor Chen never expected that the young man in front of him was a cheating player. While others were exploring the answers in the unknown, Xiao Yu had a reference answer directly.

The Blue Star world can be regarded as a preview of the version answer.

Of course, Xiao Yu himself is indeed gifted. Apart from anything else, if he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to understand it even if the version answer was placed in front of him.

Single organ cloning technology has even become a very common technical branch in the field of cloning technology in the Blue Star world. The real cloning technology there is the organic body technology.

In particular, consciousness transplantation can allow people to truly realize "living a new life" in an alternative sense. It is equivalent to being able to live for more than 200 years and then change to a more vital organic clone to live for another 200 years. In theory, as long as the consciousness transplantation operation can be successful, one can remain immortal.

Compared with these, the single organ cloning technology does seem a bit too "backward", which is why Xiao Yu can easily obtain the "reference answer" version of the single organ cloning technology in the Blue Star world.

However, the real technical skills are difficult to obtain, such as the technology of organic body. If it were not for the Red Tide Organization of the Blue Star World, and if Xiao Yu could not provide the organization with something to continue, it would be almost impossible to obtain such black technology.

As for the technology that enables people to "live a new life" by transplanting their consciousness into a new cloned body, Xiao Yu has not found any valuable information in the Blue Star world so far. It can be seen that it is strictly monopolized and kept secret. This is the real technical skill.

Finally, Chen Shuding looked at Xiao Yu and couldn't help asking, "How much do you expect Mr. Xiao to invest in the field of modern bioengineering?"

After communicating for such a long time, this is the most practical thing to say.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Professor Chen, you can rest assured about this question. The investment is definitely far beyond the imagination of the industry. There is no doubt that the starting budget is 10 billion. As for the total investment expectation, I don't know how much it will take. In short, until there is a technological breakthrough, I will not reduce the investment, but will only increase it further."

When Chen Shuding heard Xiao Yu's firm words, he felt relieved. He was worried that he was making a decision on impulse and would give up after trying it for a while if he found that it was useless in the short term.

Now it seems that he has discovered that Xiao Yu is mentally prepared for a protracted war, which makes him completely relieved. He is sure that the research will not be abandoned halfway.

In fact, Xiao Yu never thought about fighting a protracted war. He just showed such an attitude to reassure Chen Shuding and others who came to Lingjing Technology, because the version answer was in his hands, so there was no point in fighting a protracted war.

You just need to do all the necessary preparations, and when the time is right, you can make a major breakthrough.

Xiao Yu had already made a clear plan in his mind. His plan was to achieve a major technological breakthrough with the help of Chu Jinmeng in one to two years, then enter the clinical trial stage, and achieve preliminary clinical application in about the third year. At most, in about the fifth year, it would begin to be fully applied to all patients who must have an organ transplant to survive.

Even if the safety and long-term stability of monomeric organ cloning have not yet been verified, it is no longer important to them, because such patients will inevitably die without organ transplantation.

In this situation, the patient himself is willing to take a gamble for the chance to survive because he has no other choice.

However, it is not yet fully popularized. For example, for general organ damage or lesions, if the organ has not been replaced, such patients cannot use it freely. If it is allowed, the size of the entire group will rapidly increase exponentially.

To put it bluntly, even five years later, we still won't be able to replace cloned organs for any minor illness, and it won't be possible for patients to just ask for a transplant.

Because the size of the audience group has increased dramatically, the safety and long-term stability of single organ cloning must be taken into consideration. Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

It would be fine if nothing goes wrong, but if something really goes wrong, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.

To test whether the safety and stability of monomeric organ cloning are reliable enough, we cannot take shortcuts and must spend real time to verify it.

There is no rush. There is only one way, and it can be summarized in one word: "wait." Wait day after day, year after year, until decades have passed. During this period, scientists tracked and observed the conditions of patients who underwent single-organ transplantation surgery and drew the final conclusion.

Xiao Yu's plan is to achieve the goal of universal popularization in at least thirty years.

That is to say, by that time, there will be no restrictions. As long as the patient wants to change his organ and is willing to spend the money, and if production capacity permits, any minor illness can be treated with a cloned organ transplant.

Without decades of verification, its safety and long-term stability will become untenable.

Thirty years is about the right amount of time, and there is also a sufficient sample size to support statistical significance, because in thirty years there will definitely be a large number of patients who must have organ replacements to survive, thus forming a huge amount of sample data.

This can be considered as them taking the potential risks for others and providing research support to scientists. In return for taking this risk, they have the opportunity to prolong their lives. After all, if they did not receive the transplant of single organ cloning, they might have died long ago.

With a period of thirty years, the sample size must be extremely rich.

Only in this way can reliable security and stability be achieved and it can stand firm.

Xiao Yu plans to realize the universal popularization of single-organ cloning and transplantation technology in thirty years. By then, it will be the middle of the 21st century. Compared with today, the world on Earth by then will surely have undergone earth-shaking changes. Maybe humans will have established a permanent scientific research base on Mars.
