Technological Hegemony

New York, Long Island, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

"Shut down Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory!"

"These unscrupulous scientists must be responsible for the deaths of 3,275 compatriots!"

"Pay back the debt, pay for the murder!"

When Elon Musk came to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, thousands of people holding placards gathered outside the wall. They shouted loudly with tweeters, claiming to arrest all the scientists of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory .

For the sake of safety, the detectives of the local police station isolated the demonstrators from the laboratory, but this did not stop the angry crowd from throwing stones into the courtyard of the laboratory. Musk saw someone taking the opportunity to throw stones at the cold spring. Throwing debris in the courtyard of the Hong Kong University, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Although Xingchen Technology provided the blocking agent in time, more than 3,000 patients who took the gene medicine still died. This incident caused a storm in North America. Not only New York City, but also large-scale demonstrations broke out all over the United States, demanding that the authorities avenge the dead .

The people in North America still have a feeling of shame and indignation towards Xingchen Technology. They promote gene immunotherapy with great fanfare, but in the end they still have to rely on their opponents to help them. This is embarrassing.

It has to be said that Luo Jia's rescue of North America was a wise decision. While bringing great reputation to Star Technology, it also put Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the North American authorities in an embarrassing situation.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that North America is the only opponent of China. Although it seems that Star Technology has suffered a loss by helping North America free of charge, if you listen to how Europe and East Asia outside North America discuss this matter, you will understand Luo Jia's deep consideration in decision-making.

Just overnight, Star Technology's reputation in Europe and East Asia has greatly improved, especially the people in East Asia, generally feel that Star Technology is quite responsible.

We all belong to the Confucian cultural circle, and we are also the most hard-working countries on the earth. The industries complement each other and the people's living habits are similar. If the East Asian countries can join forces, they will be a terrifying force on the earth.

The Tesla brand luxury electric car slowly passed through the demonstrators. After Musk greeted the local police guarding the gate, he was put into the laboratory.

Here, Musk saw a decadent scene. Reinhardt was leading his colleagues to destroy the experimental documents. They placed oil drums in the yard, and then threw the documents into the oil drums and burned them.

Musk frowned, looked at the black smoke rising into the sky, walked up to Reinhardt, and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Are you here to catch me?" Reinhardt turned his head,

After seeing that it was Musk, he asked tentatively.

"How is it possible, I'm not the FBI." Musk shrugged and said: "Besides, I won't let anyone touch you. Before I came to New York, I went to Washington."

Reinhardt was taken aback, looked at Musk in surprise, showed an expression of disbelief, and whispered: "Washington? Could it be that you went..."

"I went to the White House." Musk yawned and said, "In 24 hours, from California to Washington, and from Washington to you, all the way, don't you plan to invite me to sit down and have a drink? Coffee?"

Reinhardt quickly apologized to Musk, solemnly invited him to his office, and asked his assistant to serve Musk's favorite Blue Mountain coffee.

Holding a coffee cup, Musk told Reinhardt what happened not long ago. In the White House, Musk and the President had a 90-minute heart-to-heart discussion.

"I saved you." Musk said bluntly: "For this reason, I had a big fight with the public relations department. Those stupid politicians only know how to please the people blindly and obey the damn mob."

Hearing this, Reinhardt couldn't help but be moved. Musk is different from Dr. Jerryn. He is more high-profile and arrogant. He likes to drive the fastest sports car and date the hottest female stars.

"Immunity activation is only the first step in the life science tetralogy. The road ahead is still long. We still have a chance. Come on, my friend." Musk said to Reinhardt with a smile.

Reinhardt was slightly taken aback, and his brows were furrowed. People who usually engage in genetics and life sciences would not use the term tetralogy. The first step is immune activation, the second step is metabolism activation, and the third step is life extension. Cellular aging.

There are no problems in the three steps of the life science evolution route, but the problem lies in the fourth step, genetic modification.

Genetic modification is equivalent to scientists playing the role of God, making arbitrary modifications to life, and even artificially creating creatures that do not exist in nature, which seriously violates traditional ethics. Listening to Musk, he seems to not care about traditional ethics.

Musk continued to talk eloquently, "Immune activation can allow humans to gain the ability to fight viruses, which is indeed very powerful, but if we can win the second step in life sciences, the control of metabolism, its significance will definitely exceed the immune system."

"The reason why the vast majority of human beings will gain weight from middle age is not because our appetite has increased, but because our metabolic rate has decreased. We eat the same food, but our body's consumption capacity becomes worse, so we hoard more and more food. Fat."

"There is also artificial meat, which grows meat in the laboratory at the speed of cell reproduction. The root of it is to use metabolic technology to accelerate cell division. As long as we can increase the metabolic rate fast enough, we can grow meat without a cow. Under the circumstances, let the whole world get steaks that can never be eaten!"

"Huaxia is a country with many individuals and little land. It is a traditional agricultural country. For land and food, Chinese people have a kind of belief-like worship. They will definitely invest crazy R\u0026D efforts in metabolic technology. Believe me, as Typical farming civilization, they will definitely, as long as we can defeat them in metabolism research, we can deal a fatal blow to them."

"Based on the same principle, metabolic technology can also be used in medical treatment to artificially grow organs in the laboratory. Think about it, if this technology is combined with immune activation technology, how many people will be reborn every year."

Musk's eyes flashed, and he talked about his ideals. In his opinion, immune activation is of course very powerful, but it can be even stronger. The long competition in life sciences has just begun, and it is not certain who will have the last laugh.

In fact, immune activation can't solve all the problems, Ye Wuchen can be cured, because she is suffering from viral heart disease, and if it is a pathological heart disease, immune activation can't do anything.

After all, the immune system exists to kill viruses. Hepatitis B, AIDS, influenza, these viral diseases are the specialization of immune activation therapy. If a person's organs are damaged, or missing arms or legs, he needs to rely on the second stage of life science , metabolism control.

...

The sixth year of Star Technology's founding, in mid-March.

Elon Musk, the new liaison of the White House, took action. He turned the tide and relied on his strong personal influence to convince the White House and Congress to let Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory make up for it. Research.

As compensation, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory announced the lifting of the closure and officially joined the life science research consortium established by Musk. In the past, Cold Spring Harbor was famous for its maverick, and no one would buy it. Lower Cold Spring Harbor chose to compromise.

To put it simply, this racist and weird laboratory was successfully recruited by Musk and became Musk's right-hand man, giving this North American super genius the power to command the world in the field of life sciences.

After all, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is still very good. It ranks first in the world in the field of life sciences and genetic sciences. They did a good job in immune activation. It was only because they were too anxious that they fell short at the last minute. It was purely bad luck. It's not that the strength is bad.

With Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as the main body, Musk frantically gathered the power in the fields of Western life science and genetic science.

Not to mention the major laboratories and university research centers in North America, Oxford, Cambridge, King’s College London, University of Edinburgh, École Polytechnique, Switzerland, University of Zurich, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, University of British Columbia, Canada, The University of Munich in Germany and the University of Melbourne in Australia, these pan-Western scientific research forces, have also gathered under Musk's command.

For some unknown reason, the University of Tokyo, ranked fifteenth in the world in the field of life sciences and genetic research, did not respond to Musk's call, which is quite interesting.

When the time came to late March, Musk finally completed a comeback in the field of Western life sciences.

Unlike his predecessor, Dr. Jay Ryan, everything Musk does clearly has a strong personal style, and his actions are more aggressive. In addition to perfecting immune activation therapy, the research topic of metabolic control has also been discussed by him more than once. mentioned in public.

Musk is also a natural speaker, and his ability to fool the world is by no means inferior to Luo Jia. Although he drives a sports car to become a star, Western values ​​​​like the existence of such a flamboyant personality. Countless people regard Musk as an idol in life.

Under the guidance of the idol Musk, the originally suppressed emotions gradually eased, and the West regained its confidence in life sciences.

Musk's horizontal and vertical alliances in the Western world have brought tremendous pressure on Star Technology. Compared with the scientific research foundation in the West, Star Technology has only established a life science department for less than two years, which obviously does not have an advantage.

Taking the very key sequencing technology in the field of genes as an example, among the top ten gene sequencing companies in the world, Inmena ranked first, and Thermo Fisher ranked second, all of which are North American companies. Third, but the annual sales are only one-tenth of Inmina's, the gap is extremely huge.

In short, when the main opponent of Star Technology was replaced by the high-profile madman Musk, the pressure increased sharply.

Life science is not Musk's field. Everyone knows that besides building electric cars, he is also a space madman.

Also at the end of March, Musk opened his second front against China. Not surprisingly, it is the space field he is most passionate about.

Musk's SpaceX company is currently the well-deserved leader in the field of rocket launches on earth.

Taking advantage of this advantage, Musk proposed a super plan of unprecedented scale, Starlink!
