Three months later.
Lin Dong officially launched the gene drink.
The moment this gene drink was released to the general public, it was immediately hailed as a sign that the "genetic era" had officially arrived. The blue planet was about to start a new chapter of genetic humans. Different from the industrial revolution and electronic civilization, this was a direct change to the human body, directly optimizing human genes. It could be said that, apart from a few extremely stubborn people, the general public did not reject its arrival.
Who did not want to be healthier, prettier, and smarter?
This was a question that even a three-year-old child would know how to choose. Before Lin Dong had even launched the gene drink, it had already formed an unstoppable tide of genes …
In these three months, it was not that the stubborn conservative forces did nothing.
They could accept gene medicine and strengthening medicine.
However, they refused to accept the gene drink.
This was because gene medicine and strengthening medicine were, after all, only used by a small number of elites. They belonged to the elite class, and the beneficiaries were themselves. Even if it was not a matter of time, they had sufficient patience to wait.
However, the gene drink was different. It was something that was widely available to the general public.
With these things.
As the ruling class, it was no longer possible for them to look down on the people like before.
In order to ensure their ruling position and the protection of their interests, the politicians or representatives of the traditional forces thought of all sorts of ways to discredit Lin Dong.
Some of their methods were simple and crude, such as directly insulting, cursing, and all sorts of personal attacks … These were usually done under a fake name or in a tabloid. They did not put it on the table and only used these methods to slander Lin Dong's reputation. On the table, they used more covert methods to discredit Lin Dong. For example, they hired someone to shoot a documentary about Death Canyon, hinting that Lin Dong was the cause of the disaster. Or they made a movie about the collapse of genes that caused zombies to run amok, hinting that the gene drink would be a horrifying consequence. Or they made a TV series about how aliens used all sorts of methods to control humans, hinting that Lin Dong was an alien with bad intentions.
On the surface, they appeared to be thinking about whether the excessive development of technology would bring unpredictable consequences to humanity.
Behind the scenes.
It was all for the sake of attacking Lin Dong and the gene drink.
Of course, even the most stubborn and stupid enemies knew that none of this could stop the coming of the genetic era. They only hoped that they could use these methods to delay as much time as possible, so that they could stay in the ruling position for as long as possible, and so that they could stay at the level of benefit for as long as possible!
Dong Mountain TV station.
On "The Daily Event", sitting opposite Wen Hui was an ordinary member whom the public had not seen for a long time.
"Welcome. This time, we don't need you to comment on the large-scale mecha, so there's no need to censor it, right?" The moment Wen Hui said this, the audience watching the program couldn't help but laugh.
"Last time, your staff misunderstood me." Lin Dong expressed his calmness.
"There won't be any misunderstandings this time." Wen Hui nodded seriously.
"There's really no need to censor it this time." Lin Dong felt a little regretful.
"Alright!" Wen Hui also felt a little regretful, because it seemed that she still wanted to do something fun like coding Lin Dong's name again. "This time, you came on our show to advertise your gene drink, right? Wait a minute, our program's ratings are quite high, and advertising costs a lot of money. Do you have enough money in your private stash? "
"Of course it's enough … No, I mean, I'm not here to advertise!" Lin Dong accidentally said it out.
"If you're not here to advertise, then why are you here?" Wen Hui asked curiously.
"I just want to discuss with you whether or not the genetic collapse will turn the entire planet into zombies. I suddenly feel that turning the entire Azure Planet into a big cafeteria for everyone to eat in is actually quite interesting!" Lin Dong laughed.
"Uh, you're talking about the latest movie from America, right? I've seen it before! "Wen Hui immediately became interested." You're also going to do it? "
"I don't have that ability!" Lin Dong waved his hand.
"But I've seen the movie very clearly. It seems like the mastermind behind the genetic collapse turning the entire world into a zombie army is you …" Wen Hui's face was full of seriousness. "Tell me honestly, if you drink too much of the gene drink, will the genetic collapse turn you into a zombie? If you don't explain clearly, I won't drink it! I'm telling you, this is a very serious topic. As a normal member, you have to answer, and answer truthfully! "
"Can the movie be real?" Lin Dong rolled his eyes.
"But the mastermind behind the scenes is very similar to you!" Wen Hui couldn't help but ridicule.
"What's in it for me if I turn the entire world into a zombie army? Am I going to monopolize the entire planet? "Lin Dong asked back.
"You can call your alien companions to stay here. Do you know how high the housing prices are now? I suspect that you aliens can't afford a house on your planet, so you came over to our planet. After all, our development is slower … It's just like the housing prices in the fourth and fifth tier cities are very different from those in the first tier cities. " Wen Hui's face was stiff as she asked seriously, "The housing prices here are more than a hundred thousand per square meter. The real estate development on your side is very early, so it should be more than a billion per square meter, right?"
"Even if aliens want to buy a house, they don't have to turn the people into zombies, right? Is it more fun if all the neighbors are zombies? "Lin Dong couldn't figure out this kind of setting.
"If everyone becomes zombies, they won't object to you moving in!" Wen Hui nodded seriously.
"Why don't you say we can also play a zombie killing game?" Lin Dong was really confused.
"Maybe this is also one of your bad interests!" Wen Hui nodded in agreement.
"I don't have that kind of ability!" Lin Dong shook his head and waved his hand.
"Not now, doesn't mean not in the future." Wen Hui raised a finger, "You can't change now, but more and more people will drink the gene drink. When everyone in the world drinks it, it will still be up to you and they can change into whatever you want them to … I don't think you can do it now, but you can in ten years. So I said this ten years in advance. Ten years later, I will be a female zombie, and I won't be able to question you then!"
"You will be a female zombie in ten years, why are you still worried about this? Just participate in the activities of the People's Cafeteria! "Lin Dong laughed out loud.
"You really have this kind of heart!" Wen Hui wanted to make an angry expression, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"The People's Cafeteria, think about it, how good is it? Everyone is not divided by race, country, gender, or age. All the zombies live in a free, democratic, equal, and harmonious world. They eat together, don't need to produce anything, just open their mouths wide. What kind of society is this? This is a super happy country that is more beautiful and dreamy than Utopia … Okay, I can't make it up anymore! "The more Lin Dong said, the more ridiculous it was, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them laughed at each other, and after laughing, they couldn't stop laughing.
For a long time.
Only then did they reluctantly stop.
Wen Hui took a tissue to wipe away her tears, and with great difficulty, she recovered her serious expression.
"As an ordinary member, why would you do something so strenuous and unrewarding? You say you invented something else, like a game, although it's easy to be criticized if children are addicted to it, but it's much better than this gene drink! You invented the gene drink, not only did you not earn money, you even lost money, a huge loss, are you stupid? Do you know what happened to the last great scientist? The last one who wanted to provide free electricity to the whole world, Tesla, not only couldn't be a scientist, but was also pinned as a pseudoscience by the scientific community, saying he was a crazy visionary. A scientific giant who had 700 inventions and 1000 patents, but gave them to the public for free. Do you know what kind of evaluation he got from the mainstream society? Engineer! Yes, he was recognized by the mainstream society as a seriously crazy engineer, he couldn't even be considered a scientist … If you make this gene drink, there will be a day like this in the future, you will be pinned on the wall of pseudoscience, people will call you the mastermind behind the zombies, or the gene destroyer, a liar who didn't finish university, didn't publish any papers, and relied on deception to gain benefits and fame! Why do you have to do this? It won't do you any good, if you don't do it, you will still be the most respected and envied Mr. Wood, a super genius! If you do it, you are finished, you will become a madman, a liar, or a zombie manipulator overnight that I don't even know! "
"I know …" Lin Dong listened and was silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded his head.
"You know? If you know, then why are you still doing it? "Wen Hui's voice became sharp.
"I just feel that human genes aren't perfect, there is still room for improvement, we humans shouldn't be so weak, we can become stronger, we can become smarter, we can become more beautiful! Since I have this ability, I will try my best to do something! If this thing succeeds, it doesn't matter what my reputation is in the end, whether I am the leader of the zombies, or a liar or a madman, it doesn't matter. "Lin Dong shook his head.
"You want to touch other people's cake, do you think they will let you go so easily? Have you ever thought about how they will treat you? "Wen Hui said the most worried question in the hearts of the people.
"I know, so I will try my best to become stronger, I will try my best not to be defeated by them!" Lin Dong said slowly and seriously.
"You are really a fool!" Wen Hui rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Someone has to be this fool, in fact, before me, many people have been such fools, such as Tesla you mentioned, he is one of them! As long as we fools continue to work hard, more fools will join us, forming an army of fools, our social structure and technological development will have a great leap, not only in the external environment, but also in our own human beings. We will continue to evolve from generation to generation, and then gradually move towards perfection, at that time, the time that our predecessors can't see, people will be very happy, the blue planet they live in will also become a paradise. If one day they talk about it, they will be grateful for the efforts of our predecessors, because every little change we make now is the guarantee of their future success! "Lin Dong described a beautiful future that no one dared to imagine.
"You are still young, can't you wait until you are a little older to do this?" Wen Hui's question was also what many people were thinking.
Some people thought that.
Lin Dong was still young.
He could first develop in a low profile for a few decades, and when his development was deeply rooted, it wouldn't be too late to release the gene drink.
This way, the foreign hostile forces wouldn't fight back so fiercely, it was a good way to boil the frog in warm water.
Not only ordinary people had this kind of mentality.
Even many people in the Peach Blossom Gorge base had this kind of mentality.
There was a small group of people who were more inclined to gradually nibble away and slowly promote, rather than declaring war on the old forces of the world, they felt that they had the advantage, and it was safer to do it slowly.
After listening to her, Lin Dong pondered for a long time, and then spread out his hands. "If I don't dare to do this when I'm still so young, I really don't dare to imagine what will happen to me when I'm old! I can compromise once, twice, thrice, ten times … but there are some things, when you are used to compromising, you will habitually compromise no matter what you encounter! I don't want to compromise with the past, I want to start from the beginning, the future path will be like this, it will be very difficult, but it will be steady, there will be no deviation, there will be no possibility of compromising for the wrong things, I will start from the beginning, and only when I have established a clear starting point, if I miss this shot, I can't imagine what the future will be like! I can compromise on other things, but I definitely can't compromise on this matter! No matter what they scold me, I will never compromise! "
Wen Hui covered her face.
After a long time.
Only then did she quietly wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, smiling as she scolded Lin Dong, using the same words she said to Lin Dong previously, "You really are an idiot!"
