1195 Treaty of Boupen

In media reports or books and magazines, scientific progress is just a phrase, it is bland and unremarkable.

In fact, what drives scientific progress is countless amounts of money.

Not every scientific research can get a positive response. In many cases, this is not possible because the research direction is wrong or the supporting technology is limited. In the end, the funds invested become an accumulation of technology.

Accumulation is not success, it is just the necessary reserves for success. From the perspective of investors and returns, it is at least a loss in the short term.

The more cutting-edge the technology, the more so.

The more people demand something, the more people will research it, the more money will be invested, and the more people will pour into this industry.

If there is anything that is a common vision for all mankind, it must be the longevity of life.

Whether they are poor people or high-ranking people in society, they all desire to live longer.

From the beginning of human civilization, the pursuit of immortality seems to have been engraved in people's genes.

Or to put it conversely, there is an instinctive desire for immortality in the genes of humans and even organisms.

Every year, a large number of rich people and dignitaries transfer a large amount of money from some secret accounts to some cutting-edge medical research. When people cannot obtain immortality through theology, they instinctively turn their attention to medical treatment.

Perhaps medical treatment cannot make humans truly immortal, but it can help people live as long as possible.

A few years ago, a science fiction movie called "The Many-Faced Man" was released. In the story, aliens can use advanced technology to swap brains with humans and hide among humans.

This movie has also brought great inspiration to medicine. Human aging and death are based on the aging of organs. So if people are replaced with all new organs, will humans not die?

Therefore, the subject of organ transplantation has been continuously promoted with the financial support of various wealthy and political figures, both overt and covert, and people have begun to gain from animals.

However, the success rate is still relatively low, and there are always some problems that are affecting the progress of these topics, such as the issue of rejection.

People are always trying to solve these problems. Some scientists believe that perhaps within ten to twenty years, organ transplantation will mature and within fifty years, it will be successfully implemented in clinical practice.

Fifty years... is too long. Mr. Wycliffe cannot wait fifty years.

After a new consultation, Mr. Wycliffe left his attending physician alone.

"I feel like my heart is getting weaker and weaker recently..." Mr. Wycliffe's face turned a little blue, and his expression was ugly.

The doctor nodded, "This is an inevitable process. Some people will be faster, some people will be slower. We can't accurately judge a specific time, but your situation is indeed very bad."

Mr. Wycliffe stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the children running on the lawn in the sunshine, with a trace of jealousy on his face.

"The surgery you are talking about...does it mean a heart transplant?"

The doctor did not hide it, "If your condition reaches the point where surgery is necessary, it means that it is difficult to control even taking medicine, and you only have two choices."

"Attempting surgery may have less than a 5 percent chance of success, or giving up all treatment and facing death."

Heart failure is not like other things. If something is cut, it will be cut. If the heart stops beating, it is meaningless to say anything.

Even if there is no good way to intervene, replacing a healthy heart seems to be the only way.

Mr. Wycliffe was silent for a while, "I don't plan to give up my life, I have an idea..."

For the sake of money, the doctor was patient and said, "Please speak, I'm listening."

He turned to look at the doctor, his eyes a little threatening, "Why don't we conduct experiments directly on humans? This should be applied to humans more quickly than research on animals!"

This is so true. No matter how well we study animals, even if the success rate is 100%, there will still be many problems when it comes to humans.

So why not study it in humans from the beginning?

The doctor laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Wycliffe, I can understand your concerns about your current health, but the question you asked..."

He shook his head, "We haven't fully mastered these technologies yet. If they are used clinically rashly, it will cause the death of a large number of experimental personnel, and it goes against ethics."

Mr. Wycliffe raised his hand to stop the doctor from continuing, "I don't care about morality or whether others will die. I only care about the probability that I will survive if necessary."

"You can talk to the higher-ups of the hospital, those who are responsible for researching these, and I can find a way to provide you with some suitable places to conduct research."

"There are people in this world who should have died long ago but are still alive. This may be the reason why they can survive!"

The doctor nodded and did not continue to argue. He had a vague feeling that maybe this matter could be successful.

The progress of science always requires someone to pay, especially the progress of medical science.

"I will convey it, Mr. Wycliffe..."

Looking at the doctor's leaving figure, Mr. Wycliffe had only reluctance in his eyes. He was unwilling to leave this world early. At this time, he began to seriously think about how to get a sum of money.

Even if the hospital here doesn't agree with his proposal, he can still find some people to do these studies. In a year or two, he can still wait, and he can always find a way through continuous trying.

And all of this requires money.

Money is becoming more and more important and critical!

Lynch has no sympathy for Mr. Wycliffe's anxiety. First of all, he is not sick. Secondly, he is still very young. It is not entirely true that he still has a lot of time to squander.

The current average life expectancy of people in the Federation is only over sixty years old. This is despite the very high level of medical care. It seems that Lynch will soon be twenty-five years old, still a young man.

In fact, for an average age, he has already lived half his life.

Humans are really a pitiful race. God has given humans wisdom and allowed human society to have a brilliant culture, but it has also cruelly limited human lifespan.

The short life force bears too much pain. It would be great if human beings could live longer, or if humans were not allowed to develop egos and personalities.

A mediocre life is like those monkeys, who come and leave in a daze, without worries or sorrows.

As Mr. President’s pen fell on the agreement, the Treaty of Bupen was completely concluded.

Countless flash lights lit up, and Mr. President stood in the middle of twenty-four diplomats, ministers, officials and other diplomats.

This organization will completely change the current disorder in international trade and make everything orderly, which is what everyone hopes for.

In fact, for small countries, they may not understand the strategic intentions of the federal government, nor do they understand the significance of international financial war. All they want is orders.

Orders can help them get out of the current economic difficulties, and some people want industrial assistance or other assistance.

No matter what their purpose is, at this moment, everyone is closely united.

Mr. President smiled happily, showing his slightly yellowed teeth.

His dentist told him that it was not yellow teeth, but that he was too old and that the layer on the surface of the teeth had been destroyed, exposing the deeper dentin.

These teeth are easily stained, so they look a little yellow. In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to oral hygiene, and there is nothing he can do about it.

This moment will be important and unforgettable for him. He actually doesn't have much ambition. Being able to enter the history books because of a treaty is an unexpected gain.

This may be one of the biggest good news for this old man who is actually still somewhat conservative.

After the filming, it was time to answer questions from reporters. Today was very lively because there were so many big shots sitting together. This may be the first time in history that an international event has brought together so many countries.

Every reporter wants to stand up and speak. For them, these precious materials may also become "history", and they will also become "fragments of history", known to countless people later.

"The girl in the front row looks nice..." Mr. President said softly to Mr. Trueman next to him with a smile.

Mr. Trueman looked at the young girl and replied in the same low voice, "This is not one of our people."

The President felt a little regretful and pointed to the person next to the blond girl, a brown-haired woman who looked to be in her thirties.

"Thank you Mr. President for choosing me. I am a reporter from... and my question is..."

A very conscientious reporter, the questions he raises are actually a supplement to the press release.

For a major political event like this, some important media organizations have already received the press release before reporters ask questions. They know what to ask and what not to ask.

Only those who do not break the rules can coexist with the entire ecological environment.

And those who break the rules will be kicked out of the circle.

The president's subordinates listened carefully to the female reporter's questions, and then conquered all the reporters with their humorous answers.

People applauded Mr. President’s speech and marveled at Mr. President’s wisdom.

In fact, some people know very well that these are standard answers, and they already have the answer before the question is asked.

Another stupid question...

While many reporters were thinking about it, they still honestly recorded Mr. President's answers in their notebooks. These are all content to be published.

Immediately afterwards, people raised their hands again...
