Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

134: Want to live forever? First, consider whether your contributions to humanity are sufficient.When the terrifying miracle of the “Shennong” project—the ability to extend the lifespan of the entire population by fifty years, enough to drive all of human civilization mad—was clearly presented to the world via the official global live broadcast of Xia Country.

The entire world fell silent.

All the remnants of the Western Alliance who were previously engaged in frantic internal strife over vague “hegemony” and “dignity”!

All the global capital behemoths who were previously scheming against each other for meager commercial interests!

All the politicians from various countries who were previously attacking each other over so-called “faith” and “ideologies”!

At this moment, they all seemed to have their throats fiercely choked by an invisible giant hand!

One by one, their faces were ghastly pale!

Their bodies were icy cold!

Their minds were utterly blank!

Eternal

Eternal life?!

Although it wasn’t true immortality or invincibility!

But that extra fifty, or even one hundred, years of lifespan!

For these “superior people” who already stood at the apex of this planet’s pyramid of power and wealth!

What did it mean?!

It meant they would have more time!

To enjoy their inexhaustible wealth!

To control that supreme power!

To taste the ultimate earthly

pleasure!

This was the ultimate

temptation that no mortal could refuse!

”N-no, impossible—”

”This must be another scam orchestrated by the Xia Country people!”

Western Alliance, White House.

The newly appointed acting commander watched the Xia Country elderly on the screen, who had become vigorous and rejuvenated after injecting the genetic serum!

That face, filled with exhaustion and helplessness, was covered in an unprecedented, as-if-he-had-seen-a-ghost

shock!

And jealousy!

He didn’t believe it!

He wouldn’t believe it even if you killed him!

How could God possibly favor those damned yellow-skinned monkeys so much?!

However—

Before he could recover from this massive self-doubt and rage.

An even more devastating piece of bad news arrived immediately!

”Report, sir!”

A blonde, blue-eyed intelligence officer, his face ashen with despair, stumbled in!

”N-not good!”

”All the billionaires in our Western Alliance have gone mad!”

”What?!”

”Just now!”

”We detected tens of thousands of private jets taking off from every corner of the world!”

”They are rushing frantically toward Jinghai City in Xia Country!”

”According to our preliminary statistics!”

”The owners of these tens of thousands of private jets include nearly ninety percent of our entire Western world’s”

”Super-rich!”

”They even established an ’Immortals’ Alliance’ on Twitter!”

”They are openly pressuring our government!”

”Demanding that we immediately cease all hostile actions against Xia Country!”

”And, at all costs!”

”Acquire for them that ’miracle drug’ that can resurrect the dead!”

”Miracle drug!”

Boom!!!

This sentence was like a black lightning bolt, powerful enough to split the entire hegemony of the Western Alliance!

It struck fiercely upon the heads of all the Western Alliance bigwigs present!

They were completely petrified!

It’s over!

It’s all fucking over!

Their once arrogant and massive empire!

Faced with the temptation of “eternal life” offered by the Xia Country people—a temptation that could drive even gods and demons mad!

They couldn’t put up even the slightest bit of resistance!

They were completely

disintegrated from within!

”A bunch of damned traitors!”

Burns’s hoarse voice was trembling!

”A group of parasites whose souls have been corrupted by money and desire!”

However—

His curses were so pale and powerless.

Because he knew.

Never mind those greedy capitalists.

Even he himself!

Faced with an extra hundred years of lifespan!

He would be utterly incapable of maintaining so-called “reason”!

Meanwhile, at this moment.

Below the headquarters building of Pangu Technology in Jinghai City, Xia Country.

The area was already completely blockaded by super-rich individuals swarming in from all over the world!

Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Maybachs—

All the top-tier luxury cars representing wealth and status!

Were casually abandoned on the roadside like worthless scrap metal!

And those “superior people” who were usually arrogant and powerful throughout the world!

Now looked exactly like the most humble beggars!

Dressed in suits and ties, yet their faces were haggard and pleading!

They frantically surged toward the tightly closed, futuristic alloy gate!

In their hands, they held high stacks of

blank checks!
