Chapter 234: Completion of Mankind Anti-aging Project

Chapter 234: Completion of Mankind Anti-aging Project


This was a bizarre event that shook the nation.


The surveillance footage showed a small group of Novartis and Roche shareholders killing all of the other shareholders through this event.


What the police could not figure out was their collective motive for doing so.


They were all billionaires sitting on enough wealth to last several generations with some of them even influential enough to make political changes in Switzerland. What sort of mad motivation did they have to band together for no particular reason and kill a group of billionaires of equal standing as them?


Even if there were some feud between them, why not resort to monetary or political tactics to pressure the other side or simply employ a.s.sa.s.sins? Such tactics were very common, after all, who would be foolish enough to take matters into their own hands?


Were they going to give up the status and ident.i.ty they had fought so hard, so long for?


However, such a bizarre, nonsensical event did happen. A group of billionaires had killed another group of billionaires in broad daylight where dozens of billionaires were executed simultaneously. This was not including the group of their family members who were similarly executed as well. This was no minor event.


If this was mishandled, the Switzerland stock market would be greatly affected as a result. Additionally, all of the victims had various factions rallying behind them. If these factions got tangled together, there was very little that even the Switzerland government could do.


However, since the event had transpired in the Novartis headquarters instead of in a public location, the case was sealed to avoid public scrutiny.


Facing pressure from major corporations on all sides, the government had ordered the police to conduct a thorough investigation, emphasizing on locating the perpetrators for further questioning.


Sadly, the outcome may come off as a disappointment for the Swedish government.


The perpetrators had seemingly vanished into thin air. The police had followed every clue available that may lead to their whereabouts. They had even found the clothing and other personal belongings of this group but failed to locate any one of them.


As time went on, the officials were rea.s.signed one after the other, and the case never saw much by way of progress.


Eventually, it had become a mystery that the higher-ups of the Switzerland government were unable to solve.


...


Chen Chen nodded contently when he saw the results. “Good work, X, you’re getting better at commandeering. You’ve done everything perfectly from overall groundwork to a.n.a.lysis and drafting the mission plan. Even I’d have trouble doing all this.”


“Hm hm!”


Little X spared the modesty and took credit for everything right away. “Since the Swiss-Europe collaboration effort target at us has failed, what will be our next move?”


“Of course, it’s back to the usual.”


Chen Chen thought for a moment and flipped through the booklet of technology Little X had acquired from Elysium. “We’re a right and proper biology enterprise, so it’s back to biological science-related work.”


With that, he flipped to a certain page and said, “For example, this targeted drug for triple-negative advanced breast cancer or the targeted drug for advanced mix liver cancer. We can start instantiating them gradually.


“These targeted drugs are hundred-year-old technologies in the world of Elysium and have long been discontinued as they don’t meet a recovery rate of ninety percent. With that said, these drugs are as good as a miracle pill in the real world.”


“Will we draw the suspicion of the Earth Federation if we take out too many of them at once?” Little X asked with concern.


“Let them suspect all they want.”


The corner of Chen Chen’s lips crooked upward in a smirk. “So what. With the emergence of these drugs, our Blacklight Biotechnology will be further cementing our position in the medical sector. By the time the Earth Federation begins to marvel at and question the biotechnological development of Blacklight Biotechnology, we’d have already grown by an insurmountable amount.


“As Blacklight Biotechnology begins to expand its influence, it won’t make a difference even if the Earth Federation becomes alerted. With all the profiteering organizations backing us, they would have to go through those organizations to reach us.”


Chen Chen gently raised his hand and slowly closed it into a fist. “Do you understand now? Blacklight Biotechnology didn’t get to this point by bearing all the burden all by ourselves, instead, we extend our reach to all corners of the world.


“By that point, it’s too late for the Earth Federation to try to make a move against us because confronting us is to confront the organizations rallying behind us, which is hurting the Earth Federation itself...”


“Oh...” Little X responded, seemingly unable to fully comprehend.


“I plan to bring an end to all forms of cancer in thirty years.”


Chen Chen added. “Thirty years. This also marks the end of the first lifespan extension cycle of the ‘Mankind Anti-aging Project’. The ‘Age Reversal Treatment’ will be gradually pushed to the world and will become accessible to most of the population in thirty years. Only the termination of all forms of cancer by that time will spell the completion of the first phase of the ‘Mankind Anti-aging Project.’”


“But genes like cancer are ever-present. The longer a human lives, the higher the chances of being diagnosed with cancer...” Little X said in a low voice.


“I know that, which is why I’ll be developing a treatment drug for all kinds of cancer in thirty years. Cancer will go from a terminal disease akin to Death itself to a disease that can be easily cured.”


“I understand,” Little X responded.


“This is only one of my agenda.”


Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, “At the same time, I’m planning to launch a bionic prosthetic project in preparation for when we exhaust the potential of genetic technology.”


“Bionic prosthetic?”


Little X asked with a hint of surprise, “You mean... Swapping heads?”


“That’s right.”


Chen Chen nodded. “I do understand that casting off one’s body for the sake of extending one’s lifespan is very counterintuitive. After all, it’s vital to preserve the body to encourage further evolution through genetic technology practices, but what if the relevant biotechnological technology involved faces a bottleneck period spanning centuries?


“By the time the first phase of ‘Mankind Anti-aging Project’ expires, the ones who subscribe to this project will very quickly wither away. We cannot afford to put all our eggs in one basket.”


Chen Chen reflected. “This is why bionic prosthetics are very important. Not only will it be able to address issues concerning disability, should the development of biotechnology encounter a bottleneck, humans can connect their minds to a bionic prosthetic as a temporary alternative. These bionic prosthetics will not exhibit any form of transplantation rejection and its users will attain senses such as touch, taste, smell, and such which are far superior to that of their original bodies...


“Although the drawback is that the potential for biological evolution is cut in half and more, it’s still better than the alternative being the extinction of mankind. Besides, this may also pave a different path to longevity.”


“I get it.”


Little X said, “The bionic prosthetic you’re referring to is a combination of robotics and biotechnology. It can emulate the movements of the human body, even fulfilling many desires such as gluttony and l.u.s.t, but it’s not a complete human body just yet...”


“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to say.”


Chen Chen nodded in response. “So let’s get ready to begin. The factories in the Eco Science City Industrial Park are nearing completion and will be our research facility once they are completed. Also, we won’t have to start from square one. Both the bionic technology from Alita: Battle Angel or Ghost in the Sh.e.l.l are good options to work with.”


“Which one will you be choosing?” Little X asked.


“Emm, isn’t it obvious?”


Chen Chen turned to Little X with a devilish smirk.
