Star of Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 148
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Civilization Star God Tribulation!
Theoretically, there is no limit to the lifespan of human beings, but the “immortality” technology at that time was nothing more than simply injecting evolutionary substances, supplemented by regular drugs to strengthen the body.
This evolutionary substance is a derivative developed successively on the basis of Morgana’s research. In just a few years, derivatives have quickly occupied the market, and the public around the world has heard about its efficacy and is amazed by it.
Evolutionary substances can increase the number of human cell divisions and shorten the telomeres of chromosomes. After using several courses of treatment, the average human life span will reach 140-170% of the past, or even higher. But longevity comes at a price.
The price is money.
Evolutionary substances are expensive, and the follow-up regular medicines are even more expensive. They often cost half of the savings of ordinary people, and they are not available to everyone.
Only rich people can live longer, which is basically a conclusion.
Even so, many people flock to it. The contradictory poles of public opinion have been pulling, and being able to obtain evolutionary substances seems to have become a status symbol.
Under the greedy desire, the rich 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 resources of the earth will be consumed at an extremely high speed, and eventually greater turmoil and even war will break out.
Therefore, the Planetary Council issued a decree to strictly limit the birth rate.
The decree has been implemented for nearly fifteen years, during which it has been continuously improved and revised. In order to obtain eternal life, most people choose not to have children, and living their lives well is everything. But some people cannot accept the decree, they still secretly choose the traditional natural birth method, which exacerbates the contradiction of polarization in the whole society.
The idea of space immigration was just beginning to emerge, and after several decades, it was forced to speed up and officially changed its name to “Star Project”.
In order to implement the space immigration program, the Planetary Council believes that human beings have an extraordinary lifespan. As a result, those in power enacted a more stringent decree in the ensuing years—the “Birth Continuation Act.”
Under the pressure of resource depletion, this decree further deprives ordinary people of their reproductive rights and does not allow newborns to be born—unless they can afford the huge childbearing fees.
If someone violates the prohibition, they will be punished by not being able to inject evolutionary substances, or even deprived of freedom for the rest of their lives.
Those in power think very simple, but they are also very realistic. Since the population limits resources, and technological development is an inevitable trend, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. First, promulgate laws to stabilize the situation. Wait until the technology matures or immigrates to other planets, and then promulgate new laws, and then the policy of openness and reproduction can be continued.
To a lot of people, this is totally unfair.
After all, human laws and rules are formed under specific conditions, and the 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 maternal love are due to human nature. There will still be people who violate the supreme prohibition and would rather give birth to newborn babies without injecting evolutionary substances without review, so 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, such things frequently made headlines, and most people have already seen it.
After all, there are still a large number of people who want to live forever. As for future generations, they decisively choose to give up, pretending to be deaf and dumb, or simply turning a blind eye.
In order to pursue eternal life technology, major consortiums invested crazily, and various projects emerged one after another in the following years. One of the research directions is to use plant cells to transform human cells. The most famous scholar in this branch is Morgana.
Just a few years ago, Morgana got acquainted with 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 information to expose a series of shameless intentions of the “Star Project”.
For Morgana at that time, it didn’t matter whether it was another **** who destroyed one bastard. She just wants to keep her research results so that she can continue her research in the future.
It was only one step away. If she gave up her research now, all her hard work and everything would be gone.
It is difficult to establish power in order to control change in danger.
Morgana decides to go all in, and if they want a storm, give them a storm.
And she herself is the incarnation of that storm!
Morgana has already figured out a way out, if the military continues to force her or use 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, and immediately handed over her research results, and signed a statement willing to give up her research rights, and all research results belonged to 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 it agreed.
The handover was unexpectedly calm and smooth, but the Planetary Council military was a little uncertain about what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.
From the military’s point of view, although this handover was flawed, the attitudes of Morgana and Ross Medicine were already exciting enough, so the military did not continue to pester them.
As everyone knows, their generosity this time planted a hidden danger for the subsequent incident.
Because of this, a few years later, it triggered the biggest turmoil in the research world.
Morgana kept a hand 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 tn38 and specific plants to the mold virus, and successfully created a kind that can transform organisms. 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 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 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the military took over, Ross Medicine and private investors did not have any losses, and the company did not go bankrupt. They can still continue to develop their own new projects.
The outcome of this event is a happy one.
Soon, Morgana resigned from Roths Medicine and worked behind the scenes of the project in the name of a consultant to the Rothschild family, and has rarely appeared in public since then.
It was rumored that she was secretly dispatched by the military to other projects and faded out of people’s sight.
Will the research results of tn38 be dusted?
Will the combined species of plants and molds become the ghosts of Morgana’s ideals?
All this, no one knows.
A year later, news of Rogge’s death came out, and the information revealed that he died of an accidental virus infection. Such shocking news will of course attract doubts. At this time, someone thought of Morgana.
The problem wasn’t solved, it just got deeper.
