Chapter 489 (1/2)

The essence of life is a process, not a result. The birth, survival and extinction of the two species were observed.

But when all ushered in the end, how many people can calmly accept this inevitable reincarnation?

Eternal life is a word full of temptation and confusion.

Especially when the development of science and technology has gradually touched the forbidden zone of life, this temptation is particularly strong.

There was a time when hundreds of millions of investments floated in like snowflakes, and laboratories of all sizes sprung up after a spring rain. If someone is willing to pay for it, naturally someone will want to experiment. A man with a lot of money wants nothing more than a hundred years of money. Compared with the temptation of immortality, what is the mere piece of paper that can't be taken away?

However, with the existing resources, it is absolutely impossible to support the endless expansion of population, even if some people live forever.

Once the immortality technology comes out, it will not bring prosperity to human civilization, but a disaster.

Yes, it would be a disaster.

The eternal people will have endless years, accumulate endless wealth and consolidate their class. Finally, they will become the tumor of society and cancer cells of the whole civilization. Draw nutrients from all normal ”cells” and squeeze ordinary people's living resources

That would be a disaster.

So the scientific ethics committee came into being. The three countries jointly abide by their designated conventions, promise to prohibit the emergence of technologies that will cause public panic, and strictly supervise each other not to take the lead in breaking the rules. In a three polar world, this tacit understanding is much stronger than a multipolar world.

Just like the IAEA over there.

But since the economic crisis of 2150, this tacit understanding has been in jeopardy. Although the scientific ethics committee still exists, its interference force on government agencies and its binding force on private capital are far less than that of half a world ago.

The summer of 2160.

”Dr. Lin Minjie, your research is suspected of violating the regulations on the administration of scientific research. Please go to Wanghai City Court in 10 days' time to be questioned by the scientific ethics committee.” A policeman in black stood in front of him and showed him his ID.

”It's impossible! My research is absolutely for the sake of mankind! Why do you represent the whole human race? ”Facing the face of the police officer. Lin Minjie roared.

Standing behind the policeman, the man in a suit interrupted his roar and said with slight disdain in his eyes.

”We can receive 100 billion donations every year, and most people agree with our cause.”

”You're just taking advantage of people's fear of the unknown, you despicable cowards.” Lin Minjie stares at the man and tries to hold him by the neck. However, as a weak scientist, his whole body strength is not equal to one hand of the police.

”Is it? I'm sorry. I also disagree with the idea of putting the brain in an iron box The man in the suit nodded his head and looked at him with a smile.

”Please keep calm, Dr. Lin. If you are dissatisfied with the enforcement procedure, please solve the problem in a civilized way in court. Before that, of course. We need to keep your research materials for you. ” Said the policeman lightly.

”No, you can't take it! Technology is innocent! ” Lin watched in despair as the police swarmed into his laboratory as they moved his papers and equipment away.

”To add, only safe technology is innocent.” Before turning around and leaving, the man in the suit said with a smile.

His reputation in the scientific community has been completely discredited after he was labeled as the Convention of the people's Republic of China. Companies have turned their backs on him. To avoid public suspicion. Without financial support, he became a bachelor's degree doctor in information technology and electronic industry, but he fell into the field of jobless Vagabonds.

Life was very tight.

Her beautiful wife abandoned him and left him only half-year-old Lin Ling. He couldn't afford the rent of the 24 story apartment. Can only move into the dark and humid basement, living on PA's relief money.

He spent six years in pain.

It wasn't until 2166 that things finally turned around.

Since the economic crisis of 2150, the global situation has deteriorated at a visible speed. Countries have been at loggerheads over issues such as resources, territory, and rights and interests in space development. In a short decade, all trust has fallen to the freezing point. Naturally, the influence of international organizations such as the scientific ethics committee has been declining.

Research that was considered taboo. The soil for breeding has been reborn. This includes advanced artificial intelligence and electronic human technology.

Finally, a famous entrepreneur found him.

”Dr. Lin Minjie, though that may hurt. But it's a big risk for me to meet you in person. You know, the media's favorite thing to do is to catch the wind. ” It's also a suit. But this man's attitude is much better than the man who once ruined him.

”I know.” Lin Minjie said with his eyes blankly.”Then I hope the risk I take is worth it.” There was a smile on the man's face.

”What do you want?” Lin Minjie raised his eyelids and looked at the man in front of him.

The man in suit gestured to his secretary, and a stack of ten centimeter thick papers was placed on the table. Looking at the document, Lin Minjie's eyes flashed with disbelief and hatred.

It was because of it that he fell into such a field.

”Oh How did you get it? ” Lin Minjie asked with a lack of interest.

”You've got a good time. In recent years, there's nothing money can't solve.” The man in the suit said with a smile, ”we need you to continue your research and we will pay for your technology.”

”I promise you.” Lin Minjie said without hesitation, ”where is the contract?”

The suit man shook his head.

”You know, this kind of research can't be written on the contract, otherwise it will be the handle. Even if the scientific ethics committee is not as binding as before, the court will still issue us a fine, so ”
