As the completion date of the Eco Science City got closer and closer, more and more tourists came to visit this newly built town.
Since the beginning of the construction of the Eco Science City, it had almost become a tourist attraction for the Namibian locals. After all, in the eyes of the local natives who had nothing better to do, the tall buildings erected in the wilderness were the mighty power of civilization.
They praised this power and always went up to the construction team to ask for well water. Some nearby villages even consciously fished for well water in front of the wells dug by the construction team every day before dawn.
In the end, the research center had no choice but to apply for military guards to drive away this group of natives.
However, at this point, Chen Chen could see the shortage of manpower.
As his territory grew larger, whether it was scientific researchers or technical personnel, or even the Black Security Service, they were all stretched thin and urgently needed to launch a new round of talent recruitment.
At the same time, because of the example of the eleven Disciple families and also to build momentum for his Eco Science City, Chen Chen simply published the "age-reversal treatment" in the form of a paper in the journal Cell.
The core of this technology was to cultivate the cloned embryos of patients and extract embryonic stem cells from the cloned embryos. Therefore, after the announcement, the entire academic community fell into a complete uproar!
Immediately, this information also quickly spread. Countless news outlets and even social media were like flies smelling blood, publishing Chen Chen's paper on the Internet.
"Cell magazine publishes amazing research results, human lifespan is expected to break through a new high! — Old Wave News. "
"Human aging can be reversed? Scientist's words are shocking — TX News. "
"What's cloned embryos? What's the relationship between it and human cloning? Is it illegal to study cloned embryos? — Soxiong Express. "
For a time, all the Internet around the world was full of the words "age-reversal treatment".
On one side, many people marveled at the progress of science that now even aging could be treated. On the other side, countless people immediately jumped out in anger and began to raise the banner of opposition against Chen Chen.
Soon, the Internet was full of comments against Blacklight Biotechnology.
Just like Chen Chen's previous concerns, many people believed that embryos were a new life and killing embryos to extract embryonic stem cells was an act of murder. This kind of behavior should be strongly resisted.
Of course, there were naturally supporters. Some people believed that compared to increasing human lifespan, these costs were not worth mentioning.
For example, on a certain technology forum at this time, in a post titled [Where the hell did Blacklight Biotechnology come from?], the two sides were arguing fiercely:
Dawn Wolf: [What right does Blacklight Biotechnology have to deprive those cloned embryos of life? Didn't I remember that the Central Continent forbade the research of human cloning? Why isn't their company punished?]
LuyaoZou: [OP, are you an idiot? Their company is indeed a Mainland China company, but they've already built a city overseas. Who cares about your law?]
Happy Loves Gray Wolf: [It's one thing for the OP to be stupid, but the 2L is also an idiot. It's true that the Earth Federation and other continents oppose any form of human cloning, but cloned embryos aren't included. Which continent and country in the world isn't researching cloned embryos? If research on cloned embryos is illegal, then the entire world is already illegal.]
Poison: [Hehe, does that mean you can damage lives at will? Embryos don't count as humans? Then may I ask the person above, didn't you grow from an embryo? Did you jump out from a crack in a rock?]
Childheart: [Previous poster must be a traitor.]
...
These discussions were either extreme at the beginning, with both sides directly cursing the parents, or friendly discussions at first, then the tone gradually became irritable, and finally began to revolve around the reproductive organs and parents, engaging in pleasant academic exchanges.
In short, the "Age-reversal treatment" could be said to be sweeping across the entire Earth Federation. Before the situation became clear, even some authoritative agencies could not jump to conclusions.
However, after all, Chen Chen was no longer the ignorant person of the past. If he had publicized this technology a year ago, perhaps international public opinion alone would have crushed him. Now, however, these accusations and abuse did not have any effect on him.
This was the reason he had capital backing him.
Not only that, but as Chen Chen published papers in major journals one after another, his reputation gradually rose. Although he was not as famous as those of the academic community, at least he was somewhat famous.
When people in the academic community mentioned this name, they would immediately associate it with "Alzheimer's disease treatment" and "Age-reversal treatment".
This was the recognition of the academic community.
In front of the public, although Chen Chen deliberately downplayed it, even letting Little X manipulate online public opinion, so that his name appeared in the public eye as little as possible, the names "Blacklight Biotechnology" and "Eco Science City" began to become familiar to the public.
However, as these technologies were publicized, the principle of the technology was also thoroughly understood by everyone. After all, the technology of "Age-reversal treatment" was not complicated. It was just the transformation of embryonic stem cells into hematopoietic stem cells and then rebuilding the human immune system.
Although there were some difficulties in this technology, it was not impossible to overcome. In Chen Chen's view, as long as he publicized the technology, even without the core information, the world could still develop a mature technology in a few years.
Even without Chen Chen, the world would still develop this technology sooner or later. Chen Chen only brought it forward by a few years.
However, for the time being, in the entire Earth Federation, this technology could only be developed here in the Eco Science City. This was a kind of invisible publicity. As long as the Eco Science City was opened, there would be money rolling in immediately.
Of course, when there were profits, there would be conflicts.
On the side of North America and Europe, there were eleven Disciple families acting as gatekeepers. In addition, the incident with the Brown family some time ago had deterred everyone, so Chen Chen could still hold on. Now, Chen Chen was afraid that someone from within the Mainland would try to trip him up.
Therefore, Chen Chen went to the Mainland Embassy again and dumped the core information of the "Age-reversal treatment" to the Mainland.
Although it was called dumping, it was naturally similar to giving it away. At that time, some important scientific researchers in some countries would be able to use this technology to extend their lives. Chen Chen only had one requirement, which was that this technology could not be developed for commercial use within three years.
At this point, Chen Chen had everything ready. He only needed manpower.
Even so, now that he had gained a reputation, manpower and whatnot began to flow in. Chen Chen no longer had to resort to threats and promises like before. He simply threw out a few hundred invitations and more than a third of the researchers gladly accepted the olive branch and came to Namibia.
