In a luxuriously decorated conference room, twelve men of different temperaments sat quietly in their respective seats. Everyone stared at the young man at the head of the table in unison.
A solemn atmosphere slowly filled the air.
At this time, the young man sitting at the head of the table suddenly spoke.
"Everyone here should already know each other, so I won't make any more introductions."
The young man pointed to himself. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Chen and I'm from Mainland China. I'm the organizer of this event and also... The spokesperson of God's Forbidden Zone."
"I'd like to ask, what's the purpose of your God's Forbidden Zone inviting me here?"
However, before Chen Chen could finish, a Middle Eastern man with a white scarf wrapped around his head interrupted impatiently, "Our time is very limited. If it weren't for your skills, I believe no one would be sitting here."
"Your Royal Highness Prince Zayed, can you at least wait for me to finish?"
Chen Chen spread his hands and said helplessly, "Regarding God's Forbidden Zone, I've already introduced it very clearly in the invitation letter, so I won't repeat it. The purpose of inviting you here this time is actually very simple. It's to invite you to join the organization. After all, we need to unite all forces that can be united."
Everyone was silent, waiting for Chen Chen to continue.
"First of all, please take a look at this information."
Chen Chen gently clapped his hands. Several employees immediately came in and handed eleven sets of documents with blue covers to each of them.
As everyone opened the documents, many people could not help but gasp.
Leddy also opened the documents, only to find that it turned out to be a more detailed report than before. Not only that, but the report also gave a complete plan to extend human life.
The details of the plan were breathtaking.
"I wonder if everyone has heard of the concept of 'escape velocity of human lifespan'?"
Suddenly, Chen Chen suppressed the exclamations of the crowd and asked aloud.
Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing this, Chen Chen smiled lightly. "In that case, let me introduce. What you're seeing now is the specific implementation plan of this plan."
With that, a huge screen behind Chen Chen gradually lit up, showing the words "Mankind Anti-aging Plan".
"The goal of our God's Forbidden Zone is to break the Hayflick limit of the human body and obtain the qualification of immortality that only gods have. For this reason, we've launched the Mankind Anti-aging Project, and the first step of the project is to start with stem cell science."
As Chen Chen spoke, a series of experimental photos began to appear on the screen behind him.
"I believe that all of you have learned from the invitation letter that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can effectively restore the body to a youthful state. Unlike other stem cell therapies that treat the symptoms but not the root cause, our technology must first kill the stem cells in your body before replacing them with cloned stem cells."
"The external result is that the hematopoietic function, muscle function, bone function, liver function, and other bodily functions of the human body will be miraculously revived, and aging will be reversed!
"This is the so-called 'Age-reversal Treatment' project. Through this treatment method, it can increase the lifespan of everyone here by 20 to 30 years."
"But here comes the problem."
Chen Chen suddenly changed the topic. "Why only twenty to thirty years? After the hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells are replaced, it's equivalent to us returning to the age of a teenager. We should have a lifespan of more than forty to fifty years, shouldn't we? "
Everyone raised their heads in unison, quietly waiting for Chen Chen's answer.
"I'll tell you the answer now. It's because of our organs."
Chen Chen pointed to his chest. "In addition to differentiating into muscle cells and bone cells, mesenchymal stem cells can also differentiate into cardiomyocytes and liver cells, which is to repair the heart and liver. However, our lungs, kidneys, intestines, and other important organs can't be taken care of.
"If we compare humans to a wooden barrel, then the 'Age-reversal Treatment' will raise the height of the other parts of the barrel, but there are still some parts that haven't been raised."
As he spoke, the big screen behind Chen Chen automatically displayed a cartoon animation of a wooden barrel constantly leaking water.
"The theory of success often mentions the wooden barrel theory, and the same goes for the improvement of human lifespan. It's unreliable to blindly raise a few parts. Only by improving it comprehensively can human life be prolonged."
Chen Chen looked at the crowd who was gradually getting engrossed and pointed to the information. "Now, please turn to the second page."
There was a sudden clatter in the conference room.
"Do you see, this is how we're going to raise the length of the other parts."
Chen Chen spread his hands. "This is also the second project in our plan – 'Cloned Organ Transplantation'.
"As we all know, there isn't a single institution in the world today that has the ability to develop cells into complete organs, not even our God's Forbidden Zone.
"Therefore, we'll simply bypass this technological limitation and directly start with human cloning."
As he spoke, pictures of the cloning laboratory began to appear behind Chen Chen.
"What you're seeing now is the human cloning laboratory in our experimental center. The five fist-sized fetuses inside are clones cloned from the somatic cells of the local villagers. Moreover, the five of them are suffering from severe cirrhosis and pneumoconiosis."
Chen Chen continued to explain, "We're now trying to accelerate the growth of the five fetuses through hormone injection. Now that the experiment is basically a success, it's expected that the five cloned fetuses will be catalyzed to the physiological age of fifteen years in a year's time."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed one after another.
"The next step is easy. Human organs are basically mature by the age of fifteen. Even if they're not mature enough, it won't affect them too much. They can be directly transplanted because there's almost a hundred percent match rate. For everyone here, this is the best source of human organs.
"In this way, the shortcomings of the other organs are also made up."
At this moment, one of the middle-aged men raised his hand and wondered, "But, any human cloning won't be internationally accepted. This kind of technology can't be popularized at all, right?"
"If you're referring to the promotion of the cloned organ transplantation project, there's no need to worry about that."
Chen Chen explained, "For the time being, these technologies will only be used on members of our God's Forbidden Zone. After a buffer period of twenty to thirty years, we'll slowly promote it to the world. I believe that by that time, the technology to directly generate complete organs through stem cells will probably be available. "
Only then did everyone come to a sudden realization.
Chen Chen smiled. "So, the current users of the mankind anti-aging project are only you."
At this moment, a young man in his early twenties from the Wilson family suddenly asked with a smile, "But what if we custom-made clones here, but these clones escape after they grow up and expose our shameful deeds? What should we do then?"
Hearing this funny question, there was a sudden burst of laughter in the conference room.
However, Chen Chen answered seriously, "There's no need to worry about this. We've developed a targeted inhibitor serotonin. This serotonin will inhibit the human brain in the embryonic stage, causing their brains to shrink completely, but it won't affect the cerebellum and brainstem.
"In other words, no matter how these clones grow, their brains will always be in a state of atrophy, and they won't even have consciousness. There'll never be a scenario like Escape from Clone Island."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
At this point, the originally heavy atmosphere in the conference room had gradually lightened.
