Three months later.
"Everyone, please step onto your respective treadmills."
"Immediately, immediately!"
Inside the laboratory building of the Blacklight Biological Research Center, a young researcher was staring at thirty-three black people with a serious expression.
These thirty-three black people were all Ovambo people. They were currently dressed in standard white hospital gowns. Although not all of them were in high spirits, at least all of them appeared to be in good health.
It should be noted that when these people entered the research center three months ago, they still looked old and decrepit, but now, they had miraculously become younger.
Now, this group of people seemed to be only in their forties. It was as if time had been reversed for them.
Hearing the researcher's order, these people seemed to be a little reluctant.
However, right next to them, a group of B.S.S. Security Service Department personnel were glaring at them, ready to beat them up with batons if they disobeyed.
As for those who were willing to cooperate, they would be rewarded with more delicious food and even alcoholic beverages.
In this two-way choice of reward and punishment, this group of people naturally did not have much choice.
As this group of people reluctantly boarded the treadmill, the researcher gently pressed a button on the main control panel. At once, the treadmill began to run slowly.
"It's now 5 kilometers per hour. Please don't move, everyone, start running!"
...
"It's now 7 kilometers per hour. Please continue."
...
"It's now 10 kilometers per hour."
When the researcher adjusted the treadmill to 10 kilometers per hour, one of the black people seemed to be unable to hold on and escaped from the treadmill.
Instantly, the security guard in charge of monitoring this row immediately came forward and slammed the electric baton in his hand into the black person's buttocks.
"Ah!"
At once, the black person let out a heart-wrenching scream and jumped back onto the treadmill while holding his buttocks.
"15 kilometers per hour!"
The researcher looked at the time. Five minutes had passed and many people were beginning to pant heavily.
Still, this was not the limit.
After thinking for a while, the researcher directly adjusted the speed to 20 kilometers per hour.
This time, the group of black people could no longer hold on. One by one, they jumped off the treadmill and lay on the ground panting like dead pigs. No matter how hard the security guard whipped them, they would not get up again.
"Not bad."
Looking at the data displayed by this group of people, the researchers nodded in satisfaction. This physical strength was comparable to that of a group of otaku who did not exercise all year round.
It should be noted that these people were all over 50 years old, and 50 years old in Africa was equivalent to 65 to 70 years old in Central Continent.
As he spoke, the researcher took out the recorder and wrote down a "B" in the "Physical Recovery" column.
Above physical fitness were the words bone strength, organ activity, muscle activity, joint toughness, and so on.
These were basically all A and B.
"Alright, everyone will do another X-ray later, and all the tests for today will be over."
The researcher clapped his hands and said to everyone, "When you're done, everyone else should return to the dormitory. As for Kang Di and Li Su's group, the five of you will stay here temporarily. There will be other tests that require your cooperation."
With that, he left with the five people he had named.
At this time, in the mysterious laboratory without any markings, there were five life incubators in operation.
The insides of these life incubators were filled with a pale yellow liquid. This liquid was a little murky, and bubbles constantly seeped out from the bottom of the tank and then floated to the surface with a gurgling sound.
Through the murky liquid, one could faintly see a human fetus the size of a fist floating quietly in the air.
The human fetus's body was curled up and wrapped in a translucent membrane, as if it was in the Purple Palace.
The long umbilical cord of the fetus was connected to several tubes. One end of these tubes was connected to the umbilical cord of the fetus, while the other end extended directly out of the tank and connected to a huge mechanical device behind the group.
Through this machine, all the nutrients needed for growth would be accurately and accurately injected into the body of the fetus.
"The five of them will be here soon. We can start preparing for the organ matching."
At this time, Hannibal received the news from the main control panel and quickly reminded the other two people in the laboratory.
"Must we do this?"
Neumann, who was in the middle of analyzing the data, came back to his senses and said hesitantly, "The last time we checked, the organs in the five people's bodies have begun to recover after undergoing the age-reversal treatment. Even without organ transplants, three of their cirrhosis and two of their pneumoconiosis are automatically improving."
Hannibal shook his head and furrowed his brows. "Neumann, you're still the same. Don't forget that we're not a charity. Do you know how much money we'll have to burn for the age-reversal treatment for these thirty people? Do you know how much money it costs to set up these five life incubators in front of us every day? "
"On a grander scale, do you know how much money it costs Boss to build this experimental center every day?"
Hannibal sighed and continued. "We're not doing this to save these people, we're doing this for the technology. Right now, there isn't a single research institute in the world that can produce complete organs from stem cells. Why is that? Isn't it because the difficulty of producing individual organs is too high, even more than the difficulty of human cloning?
"But now, we can easily bypass this problem and directly produce complete organs. Do you know how many people this technology can save?"
Li Lei also came forward and patted Neumann on the shoulder. "There's an old saying in the Mainland, 'A small kindness is like a great evil, a great kindness is like a heartless heart'. True kindness should be rational, not influenced by emotions and not troubled by emotions. What we're doing now is a great kindness."
Only then did Neumann nod.
What the three of them did not know was that their conversation was being overheard by Chen Chen.
At this time, Chen Chen was leaning on the sofa, sipping a glass of champagne while listening to the conversation on the monitor. He nodded slightly in agreement.
At this time, Little X's voice suddenly came from the speaker. "Sir Godfather, all the records regarding the age-reversal project have been sorted out. Now, all that's left is the final data of organ matching!"
"Well done, Little X."
Chen Chen snapped his fingers. "In that case, the next step of my plan can begin."
"The next step of your plan?" Little X asked curiously.
"Yes, the next step of your plan."
Chen Chen raised his palm and stared at it. "You should know that everything I'm doing now is based on a plan to extend the human lifespan.
"However, I also understand that this plan can't be completed in a day or two. Fortunately, my parents aren't even fifty years old yet. I have at least twenty to thirty years to complete this plan."
With that, Chen Chen clenched his fists slightly and a look of determination appeared in his eyes. "In twenty years, I want to extend the human lifespan by thirty years and then fully initiate the lifespan escape!"
"Then, have you thought about how to solve the population explosion problem?"
Little X suddenly asked curiously, "Currently, the human population in the Federation is 7.843 billion. On average, it's growing by 81.3 million people every year, which is a growth rate of 1.09%.
"According to my calculations, the human population will reach 9.595 billion in twenty years. That's not a big deal, but if the exponential growth continues, it will reach 30 billion in a hundred years. This will exacerbate the conflict and lead to a new round of world war."
"There's no need to worry about that."
Chen Chen shook his head. "Little X, your abstract logical thinking is still lacking. If technology can develop for another hundred years, can't they develop controllable nuclear fusion?"
"Even if humans can't develop it, can't I 'extract' it?"
"Ah, that's true..." Little X suddenly came to a realization.
"Once controllable nuclear fusion is successful, it means that mankind has officially entered the era of unlimited energy. At the same time, it also means that Earth's gravity can no longer bind mankind. At that time, no matter how much the human population expands, it won't matter at all."
Chen Chen smiled faintly. "Besides, so what if the human lifespan suddenly skyrockets? At that time, the Federation will naturally introduce corresponding policies such as delaying retirement, delaying marriage, restricting childbirth, and so on. However, this isn't a problem for me to consider. If I think that the extension of human lifespan will inevitably lead to all kinds of crises, then I'm worrying too much."
With that, Chen Chen picked up a book on the table and read with relish.
About half an hour later, Little X suddenly reminded, "Sir Godfather, the human cloning laboratory has uploaded the results. The compatibility between the clone and the original body is 100%!"
"Very good."
