【Chapter 137: A Gift】

"Here, I can make a bold prediction that in the future, 89% of people will have the opportunity to blow out the candle flame for their 150th birthday." Ren Hong looked at the crowd with a smile and said.

squeak.

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was not calm. If the front is just shock, then at this moment, everyone does not know how to describe the mood at this time, but one thing is very clear in their thinking, that is... people living in the present will live to be 150 years old?

"Is this true?" Someone off the court couldn't help yelling, and everyone looked at Ren Hong on the stage unanimously. This news is too explosive, comparable to a nuclear bomb. Everyone feels that they are dreaming. Hope Can get the other party's affirmative reply again.

Must be true.

Almost everyone has this idea.

Ren Hong saw that someone interrupted his speech in the middle, but he was not annoyed by it. Instead, he smiled and answered affirmatively in the direction of the source of the voice: "Yes, and the cost is very low, just occupying an ordinary person's life. A very insignificant part of wealth."

Ren Hong's words made the ordinary viewers who watched the video breathe even more quickly. Before that, they were shocked but also subconsciously believed that the 150-year-old life may only be enjoyed by the rich, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. For a moment, Ren Hong's words undoubtedly rekindled their shattered hopes.

Ren Hong's image metaphor: "The cost of replicating a 'kidney' from this device consists of DNA sample analysis, the required biomass content, the power consumption of the device, and the cost of the device itself. In other words, manufacturing a kidney The overall cost of a kidney averages between $800 and $1,000."

There is no doubt that everyone, whether they were there or watching the live broadcast, went from amazement to excitement at this moment. Before today, or a few hours ago, they would never have imagined that something like this would happen in a few hours.

In the blink of an eye, when you know that your lifespan can be doubled, even ordinary people can enjoy it, what kind of experience is this? No one said anything specific, and didn't know how to say it.

next moment. The audience burst into thunderous applause, and even the audience watching the live broadcast stared at the screen and applauded vigorously, and even roared excitedly in front of the computer. At the scene, the violent applause directly interrupted Ren Hong's words. It was unable to continue talking normally, and in desperation, he had to stop first.

At this moment,

Everyone in the audience stood up from their chairs, and they all clapped hard, clapping from the bottom of their hearts. When the audience's eyes went to the young people on the stage. This moment is all about respect and no lack of gratitude.

Because this young man will double the lifespan of the entire human race.

"This is a gift from God!" said a foreign scholar who was trying to applaud excitedly, his emotions hard to hide.

"I'm so glad we're living in this era. It's a blessing for all of humanity!!!" said another, a journalist.

But the thunderous applause at the scene directly covered up their voices.

On the stage, Ren Hong nodded lightly with a smile, and looked at everyone off the field who looked at him with a compliment. For a long time, the applause still did not retreat, but Ren Hong's voice sounded again, and the applause finally came to an end.

Ren Hong said: "I think every large medical institution and every urban area should have at least one such device, obviously. This great invention will benefit the entire human race."

There is no doubt that everyone present can conclude from this sentence that Ren Hong is now commercializing and promoting his products. To be precise, the whole process from the beginning to the present is in a sense. , all for commercial promotion. However, no one was uncomfortable with it, nor was there any dissatisfaction.

The birth of this emerging biotechnology is enough to affect the entire human civilization, and almost no one with a little common sense will question this. And it has the potential to change the current medical system of the entire world. Even another subversion. The most intuitive thing is that in the past, patients could only keep "repairing" their damaged body functions. But after the birth of this technology, it has become a reality to frequently replace "components". The rapid growth and low cost make it possible for everyone to consume and save more lives, which has an inestimable influence on the entire human society.

Moreover, the birth of this technology will completely say goodbye to the illegal profession of human organ trafficking, when this technological achievement is popularized in the world. Organs that were originally more precious than real gold would be unprofitable, and this gray industry would be self-defeating, thus indirectly cracking the vicious behavior of some organizations and individuals engaged in illegal population plunder.

After this series of foreshadowing and elaboration, Ren Hong finally talked about the key points that everyone cares about,

"About the commercialization of this technology and this equipment." Ren Hong said: "The company has decided to launch the finished product in the market three months later, and appointments can also be made after today. The normal service life of each equipment is It is about 5 years, and the working hours can reach 22 hours a day.”

what is the price? When many people heard Ren Hong say this, they were thinking about this question in their hearts, but everyone's thoughts were basically the same. This magical device with the "power of the creator" will definitely not be cheap.

"...The price of the dumping is: $120 million. And maintenance costs are in the $30 million range for five years."

$120 million! ! !

$120 million for a piece of equipment? This is not unusually expensive, but the scene became calm again after an unexpected exclamation. Thinking about it carefully, no one thinks that 120 million US dollars is very expensive compared to the capabilities it has, plus the total maintenance cost. $130 million, but how many people in need can one device help in a year? Moreover, such equipment can be fully profitable to the outside world, and 5 years is enough to recover the cost and make a fortune, because the cost of helping a person is not high, but the external price can be increased within a reasonable range.

Ren Hong was talking about the actual sky-high price, but the people present did not have any surprises. Instead, they were calm and even surprised, because this technology is like having the "power of the creator", which can hardly be measured by price.

Finally, it is time for reporters to ask questions.

I saw a female reporter from a domestic newspaper sitting in the front row of the wing stood up and said, "Mr. Ren, I have two questions I hope you can answer."

"Please say it!" Ren Hong waved his hand in a please gesture and nodded lightly to him.

"Can you reveal how high your IQ is?"

"Break up the watch!"

"I suspect you are an alien!"

"I don't know if you were equally suspicious of Tesla and Einstein."

Ren Hong nodded at the reporter with a light smile, and answered her two questions very quickly and easily. The answers to the two questions showed unparalleled confidence, even arrogant to the level of Einstein and Tesla. No one dared to do this except him.
