Following the man's last sentence, the entire venue was in an uproar. Countless spotlights flashed.
It was a deviant speech, a speech that blasphemed God. In the current climate of North America and Europe, such a speech would undoubtedly offend many people. However, the man on the stage did not seem to hear the uproar below the stage. Instead, his expression remained the same.
Or rather, at his position, he no longer needed to care about anyone's booing.
At that moment, many Western religious figures could no longer tolerate it. They stood up and left the venue in anger.
However, most of them stayed. There was even a burst of applause in the venue. At that moment, applause and booing could be heard at the same time.
Who was this man?
At that moment, this was the only question in most people's minds. Such a young man should still be at the age of working hard. It was difficult for people to associate him with a powerful leader.
However, the speech did not end with the group of people leaving the venue. The speech continued.
"Perhaps some people don't agree with my words and think that God is immortal and omnipotent."
The man scanned the audience and his expression became even more aloof. "But we humans can also —"
Without waiting for a new round of uproar, the man continued to speak. He pointed to the sky with one hand and pointed to the earth with the other. "In order to prevent his position from being taken away, the God of the Sky, Uranus, imprisoned his children underground. In the end, Cronus rose with the wind and castrated his father with a sickle, replacing the rule of the God of the Sky.
"After that, in order to protect his position as a god, Cronus decided to eat every one of his children until Zeus escaped with his mother's protection. In the end, Zeus defeated Cronus and became the king of the gods."
"So, we can find a pattern..."
The man's voice rose again. "That is — even God needs to grow. And isn't the civilization that we're creating moving forward on the path of immortality and omnipotence?"
The crowd below the stage once again broke into a heated discussion.
"God has the mighty power of the gods, and the mighty power of us humans is the power of technology!"
The man suppressed the discussion in the hall without hesitation. "Most people stubbornly believe that where there is life, there must be death. This is an irresistible law of nature, but this thinking is actually wrong!"
"Feynman, the founder of nanotechnology, once said that in all of the biological sciences, we have not found any evidence to prove that death is inevitable. Since aging is a law, then the essence of this law must be a biological phenomenon with a cause. Therefore, we have reason to believe that as long as we find out the essence of this law, we can design a way to rejuvenate people and make them immortal!"
"Thus, the well-known Rapamycin was born, the stem cell treatment technology was born, the age-reversal treatment project was born..."
At this point, the man suddenly paused. He looked around again and clenched his right fist. "Conquering aging and immortality are not against the laws of nature. Aging can be conquered. It's just that the components of the body have become old. It's just like how a car will get old after being driven for a long time, but will a car age?"
"If the parts of a car are old, we can directly replace them. Strictly speaking, this car can be driven forever. The human body is essentially the same as a car, just a little more complicated."
"So, in modern technology, is it possible to develop a 'part' that allows us to replace the parts of our body so that we can live longer and become closer to the gods?"
At this point, the man suddenly smiled slightly. In an instant, the originally solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed. Many people were even more shocked when they saw this scene. This ability to control the situation was almost comparable to the demon in World War II...
At this moment, the man answered his own question. "Fortunately, there is. It's a new type of project that Blacklight Biotechnology has just conquered and it's also a shortcut on the road to gods for us humans. I call it —
"The bionic prosthetic project!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an immediate uproar in the audience. Many people naturally associated it with the bionic prosthetic system in movies such as Alita and Ace Man in the Shell.
"At the end of this speech, please allow me to make a self-introduction."
After the uproar in the audience subsided again, the man began to make the final concluding remarks.
"My name is Chen Chen. My goal is to build a human kingdom forged by science and technology — — the divine kingdom of mankind!"
With the introduction of the theme of this conference, the speech finally came to an end. The man on the stage seemed to have done a trivial thing. He bowed slightly and then the platform under his feet automatically lowered, allowing the man to directly disappear from the stage.
It was not until the man's figure completely disappeared that the audience below the stage recovered from the shock. There was no telling who was the first to applaud, but then the applause seemed to spread at the speed of light.
In less than two seconds, the entire venue burst into a deafening applause and at the same time, it was mixed with the loud cheers and roars of countless people, lasting for a long time...
After the speaker was gone, the screen above the podium automatically turned black. When it lit up again, it had turned into a human silhouette.
The only difference from ordinary people was that this silhouette did not have a head.
This was the promotional image on the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology.
Seeing this scene, everyone's spirits were lifted. They understood that the previous speech was not only to elaborate the position and values of Blacklight Biotechnology, but also to extend the theme of this conference.
Moreover, the man had explained that this headless silhouette was actually a kind of bionic prosthesis. Just like the previous "Age-reversal Treatment" project, it was a kind of technology that was used to extend human lifespan.
Just as everyone's imagination was running wild, the platform that had sunk down rose again. However, this time, the person who appeared in front of everyone was not the young man from before. Instead, it was the famous North American talk show host. According to the previous plan, Qian Wenhuan would host the press conference together with this person.
...
At this time, backstage in the Blacklight Dome, Chen Chen took the wet towel handed by the Black Knight and wiped his face. At the same time, he gently tilted his head and looked at the woman standing in the shadows beside him. "What's wrong?"
"Do you know what you just said?"
Xia Yin slowly walked out of the shadows. At this time, she was wearing a slim-fitting evening gown, revealing her beautiful figure. Her silky long hair was dyed chestnut brown, exuding a fine luster under the dim light.
"Your remarks are too radical. In the Western context, if someone sabotages this speech, it'll be a blow to the reputation of Blacklight Biotechnology..."
"I just said what's on my mind."
Chen Chen cracked his neck and said indifferently, "And no one will sabotage it, believe me."
Xia Yin was instantly speechless. She hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "We, it seems like we haven't met for a long time, right?"
"It hasn't been that long, less than two years."
Chen Chen nodded. "But it seems that you've grown a lot over these years."
"You too, your personality has changed so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore." Xia Yin sighed and smiled.
Just as Xia Yin was about to say something, a Black Knight suddenly came forward and gently handed a phone to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen flipped through the phone slightly and then frowned. At the same time, at the same time, he said to Xia Yin, "My mission is completed, the rest is up to you and Old Qian."
With that, without waiting for Xia Yin's reply, he turned around and hurriedly left.
Watching Chen Chen's back leave without hesitation, Xia Yin's smile, which she could not stop in time, was suddenly filled with bitterness...
