Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 148. Familiar greetings (8)

[Extra 148. Familiar greetings (8)]

In theory, there is no limit to human lifespan, but the “immortality” technology at that time was just a simple injection of evolutionary substances, supplemented by regular drugs to strengthen the body.

This evolutionary substance is a derivative developed one after another based on Morgana’s research. In just a few years, derivatives have rapidly taken over the market, and people around the world have heard about and are amazed by their efficacy.

Evolutionary substances can increase the number of human cell divisions and reduce and shorten the telomeres of chromosomes. After several courses of treatment, the average human life span will reach 140-170% of the past, or even higher. But there is a price to pay for longevity.

The price is money.

Evolutionary substances are expensive, and subsequent batches of regular medicines are even more expensive, often costing half of ordinary people’s life savings, and not everyone can have them.

Only rich people live longer, this is basically a conclusion.

Even so, many people are flocking to it. The conflicting poles of public opinion have been pulling apart, and being able to obtain evolutionary materials seems to have become a status symbol.

In their greedy desires, rich people would rather live for a long time than see the natural lifespan of human beings limit their lives.

After all, the carrying capacity of human society is limited. With a population of nearly 20 billion, Blue Star’s resources are scarce and almost exhausted. Once so many people are allowed to live forever, the earth’s resources will be consumed rapidly, and eventually greater turmoil or even war will break out.

Therefore, the Planetary Council issued a decree to strictly limit the birth rate.

The law was implemented for nearly fifteen years, during which time it was continuously improved and revised. In order to gain eternal life, most people choose not to have children, and living their own lives well is everything. But some people cannot accept the law and secretly still choose traditional natural fertility methods, which intensifies the polarization of the entire society.

The idea of space immigration first emerged, but a few decades later it was forced to speed up and was officially renamed “Star Project”.

In order to implement the space immigration plan, the Planetary Council believes that extraordinary human life span is essential. Therefore, those in power enacted even stricter laws in the following years – this is the “Prolongation of Birth Act”.

Under the pressure of resource depletion, this decree further deprived ordinary people of their reproductive rights and prohibited the birth of newborns—unless they could afford huge maternity fees.

If someone violates the ban, they will be punished by not being able to inject evolutionary substances, or even being deprived of their freedom for the rest of their lives.

Those in power think very simply, but they are also very realistic. Since population limits resources and scientific and technological development is an inevitable trend, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. First, decrees should be issued to stabilize the situation. When technology matures or other planets are immigrated, new laws will be issued, and then the policy of open reproduction can be continued.

To a lot of people, this is completely unfair.

After all, human laws and rules are formed under specific conditions, and their binding force on individuals in the current period is limited. Most importantly, they forget that there is such a thing as human emotion.

Reproduction and motherly love are inherent in human nature. There will still be people who violate the highest prohibition and would rather give birth to newborns without injecting evolutionary substances without review. Therefore, those who violate the “Birth Continuation Act” are taken away by the secret police of the Planetary Council and subjected to chemical castration and life imprisonment. punishment.

At that time, this kind of thing made headlines frequently, and most people were already accustomed to it.

After all, there are still a majority of people who hope that they will live forever. As for future generations, they have decisively chosen to give up, pretending to be deaf or dumb, or simply turning a blind eye.

In order to pursue immortality technology, major consortiums invested funds wildly, and various projects emerged one after another in the following years. One branch of research focuses on using plant cells to transform human cells. The most famous scholar in this branch is Morgana.

Just a few years ago, Morgana met the leader of the “Shadow Dancer Organization”.

The reason is simple. The organization had secretly found Morgana, hoping to persuade her not to cooperate with the military in research, but to provide them with intelligence and expose a series of shameless intentions of the “Star Project”.

To Morgana at that time, it didn’t matter whether it was another bastard who destroyed one bastard. She simply wanted to preserve her research results so that she could continue her research in the future.

is only one step away. If she gives up research now, all her hard work and everything will be lost.

Trying to create change through danger, but making it difficult to establish power.

Morgana decided to go all out and if they wanted a storm, give them a storm.

And she herself is the embodiment of that storm!

Morgana has already thought of a way out. If the military continues to force her or uses force, then she will use the “Shadow Dancer Organization” to launch her own revenge!

When the military sent someone to take over her research, Morgana did not hesitate at all. She immediately handed over her research results and signed a statement that she was willing to give up her research rights. All research results will be owned solely by the military.

Although Morgana attached two small requirements when signing the handover document, including retaining her own laboratory equipment and related rights to Ross Pharmaceuticals. This should have been rejected, but the military was afraid of accidents, so they agreed.

The handover was unexpectedly calm and smooth, but it made the Planetary Council military a little unsure as to what kind of medicine she was selling.

From the military’s perspective, although there were flaws in this handover, the attitudes of Morgana and Rose Medicine were exciting enough, so the military did not continue to entangle.

As everyone knows, their generosity this time laid a hidden danger for subsequent events.

Because of this, a few years later, it triggered the largest turmoil in the research community.

Morgana kept a secret when handing over the data. She left the editing data of the original genes of the six mother plants. At the same time, she

edited the genes of T 38 and specific plants into the mycovirus, successfully creating a kind of organism that can be modified. brand new virus.

This is the underlying design of the entire genetic research, and Morgana will never give up what belongs to her easily. However, the military did not know at that time that Morgana could change the original data of the research at will, and thought she had really given up completely.

Thanks to Morgana’s additional conditions, after the military took over, Ross Pharmaceuticals and private investors did not suffer any losses, and the company did not go bankrupt. They could still continue to develop their own new projects.

The ending of this incident is a happy one.

Soon, Morgana resigned from Roth Medicine and worked behind the scenes as a consultant to the Rothschild family. Since then, she has rarely appeared in public.

There are rumors that she was secretly assigned to other projects by the military and faded out of people’s sight.

Will the research results of

t 38 be covered in dust?

Will the combination of plants and mold become Morgana’s ideal revenant?

No one knows all this.

A year later, news of the death of Rogge, the head of Ross Medicine, was reported. The information revealed that he died due to an accidental infection with the virus. Such shocking news will of course arouse doubts. At this time, someone thought of Morgana.

The problem is not solved, it is just hidden deeper.
