Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Hearing Hong Qiming's words, Lu Yongchang sighed slightly.

It's so embarrassing to be stuck at this point in time.

If the mice can be released from the cage in advance, or the election meeting can be held in advance...

But there are no ifs in the world.

Time can only flow forward, never backward.

"Yongchang, is there anything you can do?"

Hong Qiming hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice.

"You should know that Albert has been coveting this position for a long time."

"If something happens to the Chairman, I guess the parliament will..."

Lu Yongchang frowned and reached out to gently rub his eyebrows: "There is a way."

"During this period, Mao Zhengzhi and I have been studying technology in this area."

Hong Qiming's eyes suddenly lit up, and his breathing became faster.

"Technology for longevity?"

"How long can your life be extended?"

Looking at Hong Qiming's expectant eyes, Lu Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Failed?" Hong Qiming's face darkened.

"To be precise, I don't know." Lu Yongchang sighed again.

"I won't go into details about the process. In short, we inserted part of the Proxima Centauri gene into E. coli."

"And these E. coli can secrete a special protein we call longevity enzyme, which can repair the lost telomere material of the chromosome."

"This will allow humans to break through the original life span limit."

Hong Qiming: "???"

His eyes were full of confusion, and he said awkwardly: "Um...can you put it more simply?"

"Theoretically, we have succeeded." Lu Yongchang shrugged, "According to preliminary calculations, the longest human life span will be extended to 600-800 years."

"Fuck...fuck?!" Hong Qiming trembled and exclaimed in a low voice, "So long?"

In his expectation, increasing the maximum life span by fifty years was already the limit.

But he never expected that Lu Yongchang's scientific research results would actually increase the maximum life span of human beings to a terrifying level!

While being astonished, Hong Qiming's eyes flashed with joy: "Then, wouldn't the chairman of the assembly be saved?!"

Lu Yongchang shook his head again: "It's not that simple."

"Um?"

Lu Yongchang looked directly into Hong Qiming's confused eyes and explained: "Currently, we have not conducted any animal experiments, and all data only exist in theory."

Hong Qiming's expression dimmed instantly.

He knew what it meant.

Without the support of experiments, all this would be like a mirror, and no one knows whether this so-called longevity enzyme can play a corresponding role.

"Professor, Councilor Hong, the chairman has woken up."

Zero's avatar appeared next to the two of them and said softly.

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang looked solemn, winked at Hong Qiming and walked towards the room of the chairman of the council.

Hong Qiming was not a fool and immediately understood what Lu Yongchang meant.

He slowed down a bit and followed Lu Yongchang into the room.

…

inside the room.

The door of a two-meter-long medical cabin slowly opened.

The white-haired congressman huddled up in the huge medical cabin.

Perhaps because of his posture, the congressman's long body looked particularly thin.

Lu Yongchang glanced at the various data displayed on the holographic projection, and his heart became a little heavier again.

It's almost time to wake up.

But he is probably on his deathbed.

Not to mention the election meeting in a month, it’s hard to hold on even for a week!

"cough……"

A faint cough came from the medical cabin.

"President, how do you feel?" Hong Qiming quickly stepped forward, squatted in front of the medical cabin, gently held the congressman's withered and thin right hand with bulging veins, and asked in a low voice.

The congressman's eyelids trembled slightly when he heard the voice, and he opened them with difficulty.

His cloudy eyes glanced at Hong Qiming beside him.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, the Chairman's movements seemed particularly slow.

He didn't even notice Lu Yongchang standing a few steps away.

After a pause, the old man nodded slightly: "Qiming..."

"I'm fine, help me out."

"There are still some tasks to be assigned to you..."

Seeing the old man's frail appearance, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of unbearability.

"President."

he shouted in a low voice.

The old man paused slightly.

Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Lu Yongchang.

Seeing Lu Yongchang, the old man's eyes lit up slightly, but soon dimmed again.

"Yongchang, why are you here?"

"It's a joke for you. It seems like my body won't survive until the end." The old man smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "I guess I will leave you with another mess."

Lu Yongchang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the trembling movements of the chairman of the council.

"No need to comfort me."

"I know my own body well."

"Hong Qiming is a good candidate, but he currently lacks ability."

"I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress those old foxes after I die."

"When the time comes, I hope you can help him then."

After speaking, the old man looked at Lu Yongchang expectantly.

Lu Yongchang pursed his lips hard.

At this moment, he made a choice in his heart.

He shook his head slowly.

"Sir, I refuse."

"I'm not very good at parliamentary stuff."

"You should teach Councillor Hong in person!"

The old man sat in the medical cabin, staring at Lu Yongchang blankly.

Obviously, he did not expect Lu Yongchang to reject his request.

Without giving the old man a chance to speak again, he reached out and dragged the holographic projection beside him, adjusting its position.

"Chairman, now, let me introduce you to the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences."

"Longevity enzyme!"

...

Ten minutes later.

The old man sat in the medical cabin, looking at Lu Yongchang with a slightly hurried breath.

"Are you serious?"

Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly.

"Absolutely true."

"Although I cannot increase your lifespan to more than 600 years, I believe that as long as the experiment is successful, you can at least witness the birth of the second chairman of the council."

A blush flashed across the old man's withered cheeks.

The dry hands that supported the wall of the medical cabin trembled slightly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old man exclaimed repeatedly.

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and quickly opened them again.

"Yongchang, start the experiment."

At this moment, the old man's eyes were extremely firm!

"Speaker, are you sure?"

Lv Yongchang licked his dry lips gently and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "At present, the longevity enzyme has not undergone any biological tests, and I can't judge its..."

"Okay."

The old man raised his hand and interrupted Lu Yongchang's words: "I have thought about it."

"Whether it is for the stability of the human union or for the future of mankind..."

"If my old bones can still contribute the last bit of light,"

"I will die without regrets."
