I am a great scientist

Chapter 405 Prelude to Change ([-])
HSD-White House meeting room, high-ranking government officials gathered, and President Reluth sat at the chairman of the conference table.

Overnight, President Reluth's hair turned gray. He seemed to have not slept for a few days, and his face was pale and haggard.

Shining Star Group is about to release a life extension gene product. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world.

Being able to extend the lifespan of human beings to [-] years old, the whole world is crazy, and no one can resist this temptation.

The technology to prolong human life was mastered by the Shining Star Group, and the United States suddenly fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

How many people can the Shining Star Group's life extension gene products satisfy?When will it be announced and how much will it cost?How many people's lives can be extended by the number of products... Countless people around the world are crazy about it.

President Reluth stared at the silent group of think tank experts, and asked helplessly, "Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak?"

The experts of the think tank were sweating wildly on their foreheads, and no one dared to look at them.

In order to resist the pressure from the Shining Star Group and to save the bad economy, the government debt has swelled to 30 trillion yuan.

Afterwards, affected by the invasion of alien creatures, Shining Star Group successively released flying cars, photonic computers,...etc., high-tech products that subvert human society,...Under the bad environment, global capital flocked to the world full of vitality. ', causing the global currency cycle ecology of the US Federal Reserve to suffer huge damage.

With the passage of time, the monetary system of the United States Federal Reserve has been damaged to the point that it cannot be repaired and cannot be saved.

If the Shining Star Group publicly announces a successful breakthrough in life-extending gene technology, then the monetary system of the United States Federation will suffer the most severe challenge in history, and even collapse as a whole.

"Mr. President, after the news from Shining Star Group, our currency index has fallen by 5.5%. This downward trend has no tendency to ease, and the situation is extremely dangerous." Finance Minister Northam looked pale and looked at Rilu President Sri Lanka, reported in despair.

In just one trading day, the drop reached -5.5%, which is a very terrifying thing for the US dollar, a world currency.

There is an old adage in the foreign exchange market: "buy expectations, sell facts".

The foreign exchange market's reaction to news does not depend on whether they are "good" or "bad", but whether they are "better" or "worse" than expected. The expected information is already contained in the existing In market exchange rates, the exchange rate changes only based on unexpected information.

The currency has fallen sharply. Obviously, countless investors around the world are not optimistic about the future of the US Federal Reserve and have begun to sell a large number of US dollar assets.

Once this trend cannot be curbed, the entire United States Federation will go bankrupt due to this currency devaluation, the country will be violently turbulent, and even the federal system will disintegrate.

"Mr. President, I propose to end it, maybe there is still room for redemption." Another senior official followed up.

Hearing this, President Reluth's complexion changed drastically, he stared at the speaker, and roared hysterically, "Bloom, do you know what you're talking about?"

Bloom looked at President Reluth and said sadly: "Mr. President, we don't have a 'Shining Star Group', let alone a 'Genius Scientist', otherwise, we have already lost."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene turned dark.

Yes.

Otherwise, as Bloom said, the game is indeed over.

Because Shining Star Group has released advanced technologies one after another, leading the world into the fifth industrial revolution, and the development of human civilization and technology has stepped onto a new level, virtual networks, photonic computers, life extension genes, flying cars,..., all walks of life There have been earth-shaking changes.

However, what is there compared to the US Federation?
In addition to the 'rich' foundation and the identity of the maintainer of the 'old order', the United States Federation has not had any technology industry that can lead the world. On the contrary, because of the relationship of Shining Star Group, all high-tech industries have collectively fallen, and the Internet industry has been suppressed. The virtual network is replaced, the automobile industry is suppressed by the flying car industry, and the electronic semiconductor is crushed by the photonic computer. . . .

Thinking of the current predicament of the United States Federation, the faces of everyone at the scene were extremely ugly.

It's not that everyone at the scene didn't have this idea, but no one dared to say it.

Because of the Shining Star Group's relationship, regardless of the economy, technology, population, or international influence... In terms of the comprehensive potential of war, the United States Federation has been thrown away.

Under extreme circumstances, nuclear war may completely destroy all mankind. As long as they are not crazy, no one can take this risk.

The vice president looked at President Reluth and said conservatively: "Mr. President, Bloom's suggestion, I think we need to seriously consider it."

Hearing this, President Reluth's complexion changed drastically, his eyes swept around everyone's faces, and he asked in a voice, "Do you all think so? Do you know what this means?"

"Mr. President, we have ten times the unemployment rate we had five years ago, a staggering 2231 fatalities from shootings this month, an all-time high and worsening need for economic relief,  … .” The Minister of Finance suddenly reported the state of the country’s economy to President Reluth.

President Reluth's face was pale. Once the previous monetary policy could not be continued, the serious economic consequences would be exposed immediately.

The monetary system of the United States has brought huge benefits to the country. The finance is highly developed. More than 50% of the citizens generally have zero deposits. They pursue the model of pursuing the quality of life and consuming in advance. Once they are unemployed, their citizens will become homeless. Coupled with the proliferation of guns, once a major economic crisis breaks out in the country, the consequences will be extremely dire.

"Mr. President, we still have a chance!" The Minister of Finance looked at President Reluth and persuaded him.

Hearing this, President Reluth looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, this kind of self-deception was too much for him to say.

"Shut up!" President Rilus yelled angrily.

After finishing the drink, President Reluth glanced around the faces of the senior officials and experts. What he saw were numb and sluggish faces. If people can stand up, is there any hope for the future of the United States Federation?

"Knock, knock..." There was a sudden knock on the door.

The dull meeting room suddenly shook, and everyone looked towards the closed door.

Now a major meeting related to the fate of the country is going on. At this time, someone knocked on the door, it must be a very urgent matter.

A general who was sitting by the door stood up and walked over to open the door.

The door of the meeting opened, and Carina, the secretary of President Rilus, came into view. She reported anxiously: "Mr. President, gentlemen, the Shining Star Group suddenly held a press conference to announce the status of life-extending genetic technology."

President Reluth suddenly stood up, and asked in a voice: "What! When did it happen?"

"I just received the news that the live broadcast is going on now." Kailina Hui reported.

President Reluth panicked and ordered to Karina: "Why is it so sudden! Turn on the TV."

"Mr. President, the market research on longevity gene products has been brewing for [-] days. The global media are hunkered down at the Shining Star Group's headquarters. The announcement is not sudden now." Bloom looked at President Reluth and explained.

President Reluth gave him a cold look, and his eyes finally fell on the TV set that Karina turned on.

The large LCD screen of more than 100 inches shows a solemn and solemn meeting place, long tables laid with blue long cloth, empty seats, and a group of bright nebulae in the center of the background board, which is the giant star of Shining Star Group. At the bottom of the logo, there is a huge line that reads: Press Conference of the Human Life Extension Project.

In the conference room, everyone gasped for breath, staring at the large LCD screen with extremely complicated expressions.

President Reluth's heart was cold for a while, and his expression was numb.

The host and the publisher are all officially on the table, and the press conference has not officially started yet.

--------

Shining Star Group-headquarters building, press conference venue, reporters from media from all over the world gathered. They all looked like they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes were red, and their spirits were high.

It has been called for a long time, and this day has finally come. Will the human life expectancy of a hundred years be rewritten on this day?
Everyone looked helplessly at the end of the red carpet, anxiously waiting for that familiar 'figure'.

"Come, come!" Among the crowd, countless excited voices sounded in unison.

There was a "crash", and there was a commotion in the press seats, and then, "click, click" the sound of pressing the shutter resounded throughout the venue, and the reporters frantically pressed the cameras in their hands to record the most important moment in the human world.

Under the flashing fluorescent lights, Zhou Xing was wearing a very formal black suit, and with a bright smile on his face, he walked slowly towards the chairman of the conference table.

Walking to the seat, Zhou Xing unbuttoned a suit and sat down.

With a solemn and excited smile, Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Thank you for participating in this press conference. It may be a bit rushed, but I think everyone's eyes can't wait."

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience all had bright eyes and nodded like garlic.

Yes!Yes!They are the most excited and concerned about the Shining Star Group when there is a disturbance. However, the market survey of the Shining Star Group lasted too long, and they are living like years!
Zhou Xing put a smile on his face, looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, let's get to the point now."

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the venue was silent, and the sound of needle dropping could be heard.
The reporters held their breaths, and countless fiery eyes stared at Zhou Xing.

With a solemn face, Zhou Xing announced loudly: "Now I announce that the 10-year-long human life extension gene project has been a complete success, and the upper limit of human life expectancy will be increased by 5 times."

"Papa papa..." Fierce applause broke out suddenly.

There was a "crash", the huge sound wave seemed to blow the ceiling of the venue, and the reporters stood up one by one excitedly, clapping their hands frantically, venting their inner excitement hysterically.

"Did it really work? Great, great!"

"Mr. Zhou, you are my idol, you are the best in the world!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for mankind!"

"It's amazing! Mr. Zhou, you are really amazing."

"Haha! It's great, it's great that we can live to be five hundred years old!"

"..."

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the solemn and solemn press conference turned into a sea of ​​joy. Some reporters wept with joy, some embraced each other, some laughed and shouted strangely...the scene became a mess, surrounded by huge crowds. The news was flooded, and the reporters forgot their job responsibilities, and celebrated ecstatically one by one.

Those reporters who wanted to flock to Zhou Xing to express their gratitude were isolated by the robot guards who maintained order and could not succeed.

Zhou Xing sat on the stage, watched with a smile on his face, understood their feelings very well, and waved to celebrate with them.

The joyful laughter lasted nearly 10 minutes
Zhou Xing coughed dryly twice, and the noisy and joyous venue suddenly fell silent.

Everyone knew that Zhou Xing had something to say, so they all stopped celebrating.

The venue gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at Zhou Xing nervously. They realized a serious problem.

Although the life-prolonging gene project was a success, it was unknown how long it would be before the technology was promoted to the market, and everyone at the scene became uneasy.

Zhou Xing smiled happily, and continued to speak: "I am very happy to announce this news to everyone. A hundred years is a very short life span. Although genetic technology can extend human life to five hundred years, if we can't make good use of these extra time, then it still doesn’t make any sense.”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, not understanding why Zhou Xing suddenly said such a thing, shouldn't the next step be to announce the information and price of the longevity gene product?

Seeing this, Zhou Xing smiled mysteriously, and understood their thoughts from the expressions of everyone.

"Did you take the questionnaire about the longevity gene project?" Zhou Xing asked with a smile as he scanned the audience.

"It's done!" There was a chorus, and the sound shook the sky.

Everyone at the scene was taken aback, and answered Zhou Xing's question with one voice.
