Chapter 111: A New Use for Human Clones

In truth, the concept of “escape velocity of humanity’s lifespan” had always existed in the medical profession.

Like so: With current medical and health technology, some diseases could be prevented or treated, thus prolonging lifespans;

Then, with a longer lifespan, humans could research and develop more advanced technology, again extending their healthy lifespans;

So on and so forth...

Ultimately, medical and healthcare technology could delay aging and buy enough time for human beings to come up with faster and better technology and escape death.

According to the prediction of Professor de Grey from the University of Cambridge, humans would attain this “lifespan escape velocity” that would help them evade death in 25 to 30 years.

Chen Chen launched the mankind anti-aging project according to this theory. Through his methods of extending life, he had attracted this group of oligarchs with immense sums of money and power, persuading them into joining him.

The names of Chen Chen’s invitations were financial groups that had been meticulously selected. Most of these families had formidable connections, with interests in various industries. Truly, they had all sorts of means at their disposal.

However, there was only one thing they had in common, which was they were not involved or had never been involved in the field of biomedicine.

Due to this, Chen Chen’s growth would not damage their interests, so further cooperation was possible.

Plus, this was just the first step.

Following this, Chen Chen would secretly expand his forces. On the surface, he would continually develop the company with the help of these eleven plutocrats, eventually turning himself into a ma.s.sive plutocrat that could influence the world as well.

At the same time, he would use the mankind anti-aging plan to keep attracting more financial groups and expand his power.

When Chen Chen’s influence had reached a certain level, he could begin to manipulate the political strategies of the Federation. Thus, his mankind anti-aging project could swiftly be popularized to the public.

It was like a s...o...b..ll. At first, it was just a fist-sized ma.s.s of snow at the top of the mountain, but as it continued rolling down the slope, its volume would swell and become heavier. By the time it reached the foot of the mountain, its mighty force was enough to swallow an entire village...

In Chen Chen’s plan, G.o.d’s Forbidden Zone organization would grow stronger as things progressed to the later stages until it became a frightening interest group that not even the Federation could budge.

“Sir G.o.dfather, three other families have joined us. They are the Foster family, the Alexander family, and the Rodriguez family.”

Just as Chen Chen was pondering the future, Little X’s voice came from the speaker. “Their entry fee is being credited into our account in the form of thousands of cash flows. Moreover, they’ve each sent the elders of their families, hoping that we can set up the backup cloning and age-reversal treatment procedures as soon as possible.”

“Are those collateral relatives?” Chen Chen posed this question.

“Yes, they must still be testing us.”

“Then, tell them that collateral relatives would still need to be paid for. Ten million USD will get ten years of service for one person. Beyond ten years, they have to pay again.”

“Understood.”

After a pause, Chen Chen asked again, “What about Lil w.a.n.g and Lil Zhang? Are they with my parents by now?”

“Yes, both of them have become the chauffeurs of your parents and they live at your place. The other three are still in discussions regarding the purchase of the properties next to your parents’ place.”

“Ask them to hurry up.”

Chen Chen thought about it. “Still, there’s no need to inform my parents about those three. Let them provide protection in secret. It’s just that there are no female bodyguards, so it’s a little tricky in regards to my mother. Looks like I’ll have to think of something...”

Although Chen Chen had not revealed himself completely at this point, he had shown himself to many different forces. The first thing anyone with a normal IQ would do is to perform a thorough background check on him.

Furthermore, he was not a big shot whose personal data was protected. Through him, anyone could easily locate his parents.

Although the influence of this group of global financial oligarchs had been reduced to a very low level in Mainland China, it would still be a piece of cake for them to deal with a few ordinary folks. Therefore, protecting his parents must be on Chen Chen’s agenda.

To provide his parents with a secure environment, Chen Chen sent back the five people who had accompanied him other than Cheng Cao. Two of them were a.s.signed to Chen Chen’s parents as bodyguards hired by him. The other three remained hidden while providing protection.

The five of them were equipped with Chen Chen’s combat suits and cloaking devices as well as their battle-capable G.o.d chips. In a place like China, this should be enough to protect two ordinary elderly people.

At this point, other than the group of mercenaries who had recently joined and who were still not to be trusted for now, there was only Cheng Cao left by Chen Chen’s side.

“We’re still understaffed...”

Chen Chen sighed and flipped through the piles of material around him, hoping to find some kind of inspiration.

However, as he looked through the information on human cloning, his expression flickered as if he thought of something.

“Little X, send me a CT image of the cloned fetus now,” Chen Chen suddenly commanded.

At his words, the computer before him lit up automatically. At the same time, two images appeared on the screen. It was the front and side images of a fetus curled up.

Chen Chen grabbed the mouse and gently moved the scroll wheel. Immediately, the two images zoomed in at the same time as if this was X-ray vision. The images penetrated directly into the fetus, displaying the structure of the fetus’ cross-section.

Chen Chen’s gaze was aimed at the position of the fetus’ head.

There, because of the targeted serotonin, the clone’s brain had completely shrunk, forming a black cavity in the skull.

Even so, for some reason, the optic nerve connected to the fetus’ eyeb.a.l.l.s had not shrunk. Moreover, the same was true for the nerve connecting the auditory senses.

When Chen Chen saw this, he suddenly looked up and asked, “Little X, after your clone, G.o.d is implanted into the human body. How does it sense human perception?”

“It’s simplest in terms of touch.”

Little X explained, “Human skin has sensitive nerve cells, so when it feels the pressure of touch, it’ll send out a tiny electrical signal. This signal will be transmitted to the brain through the spinal cord and G.o.d, being in the spinal cord, will also receive this signal.

“It’s a bit more troublesome with vision and hearing. It becomes necessary to actively emit current to intercept the signals produced by the host’s visual and auditory nerves. Then, these signals are restored as video and audio information.”

“In other words, as long as the visual and auditory nerves are intact, the chip can rely on the nerves to perceive the vision and hearing of humans?”

Chen Chen became thoughtful. “Then what if these human clones, which have no consciousness, are implanted with G.o.d chips? Can you control them to act like ordinary people?”

“Hmm, I think so...”

Little X was uncertain. “Theoretically it should be fully feasible, but the specific outcome will need to be verified through actual implementation.”

“Very well. Tell Hannibal and the rest to focus fully on researching hormone regulation technology. If there’s a shortage of personnel, I can send them more people.”

Chen Chen had made up his mind. “But, I have one request — we must come up with the optimum regulation method within a year so that these clones can grow up quickly!”
