130: Is this Pandora's box, or God's gospel?

The eyes of all the bigwigs, which had just turned frenzied due to the temptation of "Immortality," instantly cooled down.

They had to face an ultimate question that was even more serious and heavy than "Controllable Nuclear Fusion," "photonic chips," or "aerospace fighters"!

Population resources!

Social order!

If the average human lifespan were truly extended to one hundred and fifty or even two hundred years!

Then the entire world's social system would completely collapse!

Pensions, medical insurance, educational resources—everything would become overwhelmed due to the geometric growth of the population!

This is a social crisis even more terrifying than war or plague!

His face, usually full of confidence, was now written with gravity.

"I am not against this technology."

"But we must consider its social consequences!"

"Once this technology is promoted without restriction."

"Then our planet, already overwhelmed, will completely turn into a"

"Living Hell!"

"Exactly!" another bigwig in charge of education echoed: "Educational resources, medical resources, everything will be firmly occupied by those old geezers who 'live too long'!"

"The upward mobility channels for young people will be completely blocked!"

"This will trigger an unprecedented social turmoil!"

For a moment!

Worry!

They were like a group of pathetic mortals who had opened Pandora's box with their own hands!

In the face of such huge temptation, they had to confront the terrifying punishment that followed!

"Ahem."

He slowly picked up the internal communication phone; his wise eyes were filled with inquiry.

"Comrade Lu Chen."

"What are your thoughts?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

So long that everyone thought Lu Chen would not answer.

Only then did Lu Chen's calm voice, filled with philosophical speculation, slowly ring out.

"Leaders."

"Your concerns are valid."

"A technology capable of changing the form of human life should indeed not be promoted so rashly."

"Whether it is Pandora's box or God's gospel"

"Depends on"

"How we use it."

He paused, and a flash of cold rationality flickered in his pitch-black eyes, which were as vast as the universe!

"I believe."

"Before we truly solve the human 'living space' problem."

"This technology should not be promoted without restriction to all"

"Ordinary people!"

"Huh?!"

Everyone was stunned!

"Lu Chen, what do you mean?!"

The voice of the bigwig in charge of medical affairs was full of confusion.

"What I mean is"

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a god-like smile, full of absolute confidence and absolute control.

"This technology should be used on those who need it most"

"People!"

"For example"

He changed the subject, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in his deep eyes!

"Those who are willing to offer all their life and wisdom for the interests of the country and the future of humanity"

"Heroes!"

"And"

A curve full of ambition and dominance curled up at the corner of his mouth!

"Those who are about to accompany us to conquer the vast starry sea"

"Astronauts and explorers!"

"This"

All the bigwigs were completely stunned by Lu Chen's answer, which was full of "pragmatism" and "utilitarianism"!

They knew.

Lu Chen was trying to use this ultimate temptation that could drive people crazy!

To recruit top-tier talent for his space and military endeavors!

"Then"

Those wise eyes were filled with unprecedented approval and trust!

He knew.

This young man's intellect had already far exceeded his age.

He had already learned how to find that perfect balance between "idealism" and "reality"!

"Comrade Lu Chen."

He asked slowly:

"Do you think"

"How should we 'persuade' those top talents who possess this technology?"

"To make them willing to dedicate to our country and this nation"

"Their precious"

"'Immortality'?"
