I am a great scientist

Chapter 404 Prelude to Change ([-])
How much personal wealth are you willing to pay for restoring your prime of life and prolonging your life expectancy by five times?Multiple choice questions: Options: 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%. (Please choose carefully.)
With five times the lifespan, how are you going to spend the extra long hours?

After living five times longer, would you still choose to have children?
"..."

A set of questionnaires about life-prolonging genetic technology suddenly appeared on the official website of Shining Star Group, which immediately caused an uproar all over the world.

What is Shining Star Group doing?Is life extension gene technology has been successfully developed?Are you building momentum now?

All of a sudden, media around the world reposted and reported the contents of Shining Star Group's 'investigation' questionnaire, as well as related speculations.

"Shining Star Group adjusts the charging model of life-prolonging genetic technology, and a breakthrough in human life-prolonging technology is imminent."

"Genius scientist-Zhou Xing created another miracle and made a breakthrough in life-prolonging gene technology."

"Shining Star Group indirectly announces the successful development of gene technology and solicits 'price proposals' from all over the world."

"The Shining Star Group's big move - the sales of life-prolonging gene products survey public opinion, human beings will extend their lifespan to 500 years old."

"What price are you willing to pay to prolong your life by five times? Shining Star Group is asking you."

"..."

All kinds of eye-catching news headlines suddenly appeared on the homepages of major news media around the world.

The reports of the world's major media are like detonating a nuclear bomb, and the people all over the world are stunned.

Countless people are crazy about prolonging life by [-] years, which has attracted countless people from all over the world to visit the official website of Shining Star Group, or to participate in research, or to look for clues of life-prolonging genetic technology.

Shining Star Group headquarters building, technology center, everyone is busy nervously, as if they are dealing with a war, everyone is sitting at the computer desk, or typing on the keyboard nervously, or staring at the data chart intently , dare not be distracted for a moment.

Chen Fan testified to the technical center, staring closely at the large monitoring screen full of various data and showing the status of the official website.

"Mr. Chen, the current number of visiting users has exceeded 30 billion. There is a lag on the website." Suddenly a technician reported to Chen Fanhui.

Chen Fan's complexion changed, the most worrying thing finally happened.

The life-prolonging gene technology has attracted the attention of the whole world. They flocked to the official website of Shining Star Group, causing network congestion. Even if the server they use is the latest model of photon server, it cannot accommodate so many users to visit at the same time.

"Mr. Chen, the access delay still reaches 0.5 seconds, and the freezing time has increased significantly." The technician looked at Chen Fan and reported anxiously.

Chen Fan stared at the big screen, and immediately ordered decisively: "Immediately skip all users who have completed the questionnaire."

"Understood!" The technician responded, operating the keyboard to deal with it immediately.

"Mr. Chen, there are a lot of abnormal access links, and our official website has been hacked." The next second, another technician said.

Hearing this, Chen Fan's face darkened, and these guys were picking their time.

"Activate the 'smart core' defense module to block these abnormal links." Chen Fan stared at the display screen and ordered loudly.

"Understood." The technician followed the order.

The security system developed based on intelligent language can intelligently identify and isolate a large number of illegal intrusions.

"What's going on, Mr. Chen, the 'smart core' doesn't seem to be working, a large number of 'illegal links still exist, and the lag time still reaches 1.7 seconds, and it continues to increase."

Chen Fan stared at the large technical monitoring screen, with a solemn look on his face,
As expected, things are not that simple. This opportunity is rare in a thousand years. Countless netizens from all over the world have visited the official website of Shining Star Group. If the official website of Shining Star Group crashes at this time, it will really embarrass the whole world.

Chen Fan's face turned pale and became extremely ugly. They must have used a large supercomputer, which is why these abnormal links are so difficult to deal with.

So the technicians all looked at Chen Fan, waiting for him to make up his mind.

The Shining Star Group is now fighting with the world's top hackers and those countries that are hostile to the Shining Star Group. They take advantage of this time to gather together to launch an attack. This time they are in danger.

"Brother Chen, why don't I ask Mr. Zhou to come over and deal with it." A technician who was similar to Chen Fan looked at Chen Fan and said cautiously.

Hearing this, Chen Fan had a wry smile on his face. If he had technical problems, he would go to Mr. Zhou. This seemed to be the usual practice of everyone in Shining Star Group, and it was not shameful, but why is it so uncomfortable!
Just when Chen Fan was about to accept this proposal, the data on the big monitoring screen suddenly changed surprisingly.

"Hey! What's going on? All abnormal links have been terminated."

"Is it Mr. Zhou who made a move? Sure enough, if you don't make a move, you'll be fine. Once you make a move, you will all fall down."

"Haha! This tone is so cool! Mr. Zhou is mighty!"

"..."

All the technicians in the technology center looked at the big monitoring screen and cheered and celebrated.

Chen Fan smiled helplessly, he really didn't have any technical authority in front of these guys!However, with Zhou Xing as a leader, he is as radiant as the sun, and no one can do anything about it.

Replace!
Just talking, Mr. Zhou solved such a big trouble. This efficiency is really beyond human ability!Looking at the monitoring data that had returned to normal, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and worshiped Zhou Xing even more in his heart.

Shining Star Group headquarters building, underground laboratory.

Zhou Xing sat in front of the holographic test bench, concentrating on designing the blueprint of a part. The holographic screen was constantly changing under the touch of his fingers, and the blueprint of a part with a peculiar shape and a precise structure was constantly improved.

"Boss, I just dealt with a small problem." Zhou Xiaozhi, who was standing by the test bench as an assistant, suddenly reported to Zhou Xinghui.

"Huh? What's the trouble?" Zhou Xing asked casually while focusing on the matter in front of him.

"Our official website was invaded by many hackers, and I blocked them all." Zhou Xiaozhi replied as if claiming credit.

"Well, help me calculate the power of this energy concentrator." Zhou Xing nodded his head as if he didn't hear it, and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied, and immediately began to calculate the design drawing modified by Zhou Xing.

"Boss, the maximum power of this energy concentrator can be volatilized to 57.2 horsepower, which is still a long way from the requirements you set!" Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing after a few seconds.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded. He designed the thing himself, and he had a rough idea in mind.

"Boss, you should follow my advice and directly increase the size of the spaceship, so as to have more room for design." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and woke up aloud.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused: "No, the first interstellar spacecraft is a 'classic' capable of mass production, and it will undertake a major 'mission' in the future , the volume should not be too large.”

"En!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, knowing what Zhou Xing meant, he stopped persuading him.

Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, seriously thinking about the improvement direction of the concentrator.

In the future interstellar era, nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft must be the mainstream of human civilization. However, there are two main ways to use nuclear fusion power.

The first one: Since the universe is in a vacuum environment, there is no such medium as water or air, propellers cannot be used for propulsion, but jets must be used. Nuclear fusion in the reactor generates a large amount of heat energy, and the propellant (such as liquid hydrogen) is injected. The propellant will It expands rapidly when heated, and then ejects at high speed from the tail of the engine to generate thrust.

This kind of fusion power is easy to realize, but its utilization rate and propulsion loss are serious. At the same time, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory pursuit in terms of speed.

The second type: The nuclear fusion reactor will produce a lot of high-speed moving ions. These high-energy particles move very fast, so that they can use a magnetic field to control their ejection direction. This method is similar to the principle of ion rockets, which eject high-speed particles from the tail of the rocket The moving ions cause the spacecraft to recoil.

The advantages of this method are large driving force, excellent speed, no need to carry any medium, and strong continuity. However, it also has some shortcomings. This kind of engine needs to re-optimize and adjust the ion flow of the fusion reactor, and the requirements for engine materials Harsh, not that easy to make, and can be very expensive to make.

In terms of utilization rate, the first type should be chosen, which can push human civilization to the interstellar era faster. However, in the long run, the second type of engine should be considered the most. Although, its manufacturing It is difficult and expensive, but as long as its efficacy is optimized to the extreme and mass production is carried out, its cost can be greatly reduced.

"Boss, if one energy concentrator fails to meet the requirements, I suggest two or four miniaturized energy concentrators." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing frowned: "In this way, wouldn't the design of the hull need to be overthrown and started over?"

"Boss, the overall performance of a dual power system or a four power system will be much better than a single power system. If you want to meet your design requirements, I still recommend multiple power systems." Zhou Xiaozhi replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing fell silent immediately.

This point proposed by Zhou Xiaozhi has already been emphasized before implementing the design, but if it is a multi-power system, the overall cost of the spacecraft will increase by more than 25%.

If this spacecraft is mass-produced in the future, the cost will be an astronomical figure, and Zhou Xing has been unable to make a decision.

Zhou Xing sighed and decided: "Let's do the calculation again! Or make a new design."

"Okay, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.

Zhou Xing nodded, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi, "By the way, what did you just say?"

"Boss, there were a lot of hackers who invaded our official website before, and I solved them." Zhou Xiaozhi asked Zhou Xing for credit.

"Well, why did they invade our official website?" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and quickly asked: "By the way, how is the market survey going? How many people participated?"

"Boss, 7.9 million questionnaires have been collected, and the number of participants is increasing by 10 per second." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing nodded, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi, "Huh? What is their general 'endurance expectation' for the price of life-prolonging gene technology?"

“老板，27.22%的人选择：5%；49.37%的人选择：10；15.71%的人选择：20%；7.7%的人选择：30%，从现在的趋势来看，民众普遍能接受：个人财富10%的‘售价’。”周小智回复周兴道。

Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help showing a smile on his face. So many people participated in this survey. Next, with the influence of this 'market research', people's ability to accept the 'market price' of life extension genes will be much better!

"Very good. Announce this data to the public in real time to prepare for the upcoming press conference." Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction.

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded happily.

"Boss, do you need me to push harder? Let more people know the news." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked.

Zhou Xing thought for a moment, nodded and confessed: "Yes, but you have to be careful, don't let others find your trace."

"Understood, Xiaozhi will be very careful, no one can find me." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, and said a little proudly.

Immediately, the human Internet, game websites, film and television websites, news websites, mobile networks, ..., the topic of discussing Shining Star Group's life-extending genetic technology suddenly increased, and quickly attracted those "marginal people" who hadn't noticed the "news" together. To the topic of life extension gene technology.

In less than a day, the Shining Star Group's market survey on the "price" of life-prolonging gene technology's questionnaire immediately became a well-known event for all mankind.

At the same time, as Zhou Xiaozhi said, no country or force would have discovered its existence, even those top hackers who invaded the Shining Star Group’s official website. No one would have known Zhou Xiaozhi’s actions The presence.

Moreover, Zhou Xing's reputation in the human world is too great. He has dabbled in many fields, but in the computer field, artificial intelligence is his special research direction. He created a guideline that can lead the development of artificial intelligence when he was in college. Sexual paper: 'Binomial Criterion and Variables', and then he wrote a set of 'Wise Language'.

The top hackers made a big move to invade the official website of Shining Star Group and suddenly encountered large-scale "failure". Apart from accepting their fate and admiring Zhou Xing's ability, no one would have thought that their opponent was someone else.

The news about the Shining Star Group's market adjustment of the price of life-prolonging gene products spread wildly all over the world. The situation changed suddenly, and the world's political situation suddenly became delicate.

The political attitudes of more and more countries have become clearer, and the move to leave the United States and enter China has suddenly become clearer. However, the result will not become clear until Shining Star Group officially announces a breakthrough in life-prolonging genetic technology.

The trend of the world's major stock markets suddenly became dangerous, as if a global economic crisis was about to come, the stock market led by the United States suddenly dropped sharply as a whole, and countless funds fled and evacuated frantically.

Once Shining Star Group confirms and announces the gene product that prolongs human life by 5 times, it will be the greatest day for the entire human society. Countless people are willing to lose their fortunes for it. No matter the enemy or not, no one can give up this invention.

Now the eyes of the world are focused on Shining Star Group, waiting for its next move.
