at this time.

Xingyuan Technology Underground Security Base.

In the president's office, Niu Geng was looking at the virtual projection in front of him, his expression more solemn than usual.

Because the picture displayed in the projection is exactly the real-time environmental situation of Jingzhou City.

Although Jingzhou City is located in a geographical location where no strong earthquake occurred, it was still hit by tornadoes and heavy snow and hail.

The whole city became devastated.

As a person who once lived in this city, Niu Geng's mood can be imagined. He is indeed extremely disappointed.

Although he had long known that after the fire weather satellite lost its function, the disaster faced by the earth and planet would be more serious than originally predicted.

But knowing and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things.

Only after Niu Geng saw what the city had become like in person did he truly understand the bitterness.

Abandoning your original home and choosing to survive hundreds of meters underground will bring great psychological pressure no matter how you look at it.

For some reason, although Niu Geng and Xingyuan Technology are equivalent to the great savior of human civilization this time, helping mankind to survive safely in this disaster and have a new safe and comfortable place to live, Niu Geng's mood is different. Not happy.

In fact, from Niu Geng's heart, he is more inclined to eliminate disasters and ensure the normal living conditions of human beings on the ground.

However, how things develop is completely out of his control.

The Earth-Star disaster was completely beyond its scope of solution, and in the end it could only use the power of Xingling to devise such a plan.

At the same time, Xing Ling, who was standing next to Niu Geng, seemed to notice something strange about Niu Geng.

So he quickly asked: "Master, there is nothing we can do about this. It's great that you can do this. Although the city is destroyed, at least humans are still alive and have a chance to rebuild their homes."

Regarding Xing Ling's comfort, Niu Geng also understood the reason behind it, but it was just that he couldn't get over the psychological hurdle in a short time. He believed that he would adapt to this situation in the future.

Then Niu Geng seemed to have thought of something again. After his expression returned to normal, he asked Xing Ling, "By the way, did this large-scale disaster on the ground have any impact on our intelligent robots?"

Niu Geng knew that although all human beings had moved from the ground to the underground and had not suffered any losses in this disaster, most of the intelligent robots produced by the company had remained on the ground and were still engaged in related labor.

Provide certain resources for the underground security base.

Therefore, in the face of this large-scale disaster, it is very likely that the robot will be damaged.

Even if they can repair each other, at least they will no longer be able to work in a short period of time, which will inevitably affect some efficiency.

In response, Xing Ling seemed to have guessed that Niu Geng would pay attention to this matter, and insisted on making preparations in advance. After hearing this sentence, he directly answered:

"Don't worry, Master. Before the disaster, I had ordered the intelligent robots to hide in a safe place and wait. They have not suffered much damage so far. They can be revived and work again after the disaster passes."

"very good."

In fact, before asking this question, Niu Geng had basically guessed the result. After all, he was very confident about Xing Ling's ability. It was impossible to imagine such a big thing with the computing speed of advanced artificial intelligence.

But in addition, Niu Geng also has another very big ambition hidden in his heart.

That is to one day lead mankind back to the ground.

Although in some respects, living in an underground safety base is much safer than on the ground. Even if it is hit by an asteroid, it will not have an impact on the underground safety base, which can effectively ensure the safety of human life.

But no matter what, after all, human beings have survived on the ground for thousands of years and have a special kind of deep emotion in them, so if possible, I believe most people are still willing to return to the ground.

However, if you want to return to the ground, you must ensure that the climate and environmental temperature on the ground return to a suitable state, and you don't know how many years this process will take.

Although disasters such as super tornadoes and earthquakes are caused by the use of fire weather satellites, they will not last too long.

But by then, most of the Earth's stars would have been covered in ice and snow, and the climate would be too cold for humans to survive, so it was basically impossible to return to the ground in a short time.

It was also driven by this idea that Niu Geng particularly wanted to know how many years would it take for the environment on the ground to improve, or how many years would it take for humans to return to the ground.

And to know this result, the only person who can rely on is still Xing Ling.

In desperation, Niu Geng had no choice but to continue asking Xing Ling: "Xing Ling, can you recalculate the climate and environmental temperature on the ground and calculate how many years it will take for it to return to a suitable range for humans?"

Although Xing Ling was very reluctant to undermine Niu Geng's confidence and put his master in a dull state under his own self-awareness.

But facing Niu Geng's inquiry, she had no choice but to reply, so in the end Xing Ling told Niu Geng the answer.

"Master, the duration of the Ice Age climate is generally relatively long. What's more important is that although the use of the Fire Satellite bought time for mankind this time, it also caused most of the ozone layer to be damaged. This damage is irreversible. .”

"I'm afraid it will take a long, long time for the self-climate adjustment system of the Earth and the planet to be restored."

"Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for humans in recent eras to see this day."

I have to say that this answer does make people feel very cruel, but Niu Geng also knows that Xing Ling will never deceive him, so he can only be forced to accept it in this case.

But just when Niu Geng was about to put this matter behind him for the time being and concentrate on the rest of his life, Xing Ling next to him seemed to not want to see Niu Geng in this state, so he suddenly added something.

"The master actually allows humans to return to the ground. There is no way at all."

What! ?

"You said there is a way to return to the ground early, tell me quickly."

Originally Niu Geng had given up on this matter and no longer thought about it too much, but unexpectedly Xing Ling's words gave him hope.

The whole person suddenly became very excited, and without any hesitation, he immediately asked Xing Ling.

What's more important is that he doesn't think Xing Ling's words are false, or that he just wants to make him happy. Since Xing Ling dares to say this, there must be a real way to get humans back to the ground early.

After all, the fact that humans were able to survive this disaster unharmed was all due to Xing Ling's contribution.

Then Xing Ling stopped hesitating too much and answered immediately:

"Although there is no way to recover from the glacial climate on the ground in a short period of time, with the current physique of human beings, if they survive in this temperature environment, they will only die. Therefore, as long as the physique of human beings can be generally strengthened and can withstand the severe cold outside, they can live normally. .”

"But it's very difficult to do this. The complexity is even more difficult than developing drugs to treat cancer."

After listening to Xing Ling's explanation, Niu Geng immediately understood what she meant.

In general, since there is no way for humans to change the ground climate temperature, we should start with humans themselves. As long as special drugs can be developed, the human body can be strengthened so that humans can live a normal life in a low-temperature environment without being damaged. You can freely enter and leave the safe city on the ground and underground.

I have to say that this is indeed a good approach.

But as Xing Ling said, there are huge difficulties. After all, this is different from drugs to treat cancer. If you want to improve the human body, there are so many things involved. Even if there are any mistakes in the process, May cause damage to the body.

This situation is very dangerous.

But no matter what, now that he has hope, Niu Geng will never give up easily, and he must complete this project no matter what.

What's more, there are indeed huge difficulties in developing genetic medicines that can change human physique, but you must know that Niu Geng still has some optimization points in his trump card.

I believe that as long as a sufficient number of optimization points are used, it is entirely possible to develop this kind of genetic medicine.

It's just that Niu Geng has no optimization points for his inventory these days. All of them are being used during the development of the Huozhong weather satellite. It will take a long time to wait for the new fund settlement date to arrive.

Therefore, in this situation, Niu Geng can only conduct preliminary research first, and wait until the fund settlement cycle arrives to obtain enough optimization points to speed up the progress of research and development.

Niu Geng believed that with the current strength of Xingyuan Technology and the huge support of optimization points, it might be possible to develop the genetic medicine mentioned by Xing Ling.

By then, it will definitely be able to improve human physique. While strengthening their bodies, their life span will also be correspondingly increased. By then, human civilization will be able to develop towards the level of second-level civilization.

After thinking about this clearly, Niu Geng's determination became more and more firm in his heart, and he immediately issued a new order to Xing Ling without any delay.

"Xing Ling went to find Gu Wenyu for me. I want her to be responsible for the research and development project of genetic medicine. I believe that with the strength of our Xingyuan Technology, we will be able to successfully develop this medicine, no matter how many years it takes. time."

In fact, by this time, the reason why Niu Geng was so determined to develop genetic medicine was not just to bring humans back to the ground.

Because human genes determine the limit of lifespan, if genetic medicine can be developed, its lifespan will be improved. This is the most important thing.

With Niu Geng's current status and power, he is almost at the top of the world, so the only pursuit left is probably life.

After all, no matter who he is, once he has such a large resource, he will cherish his life more and more, and he is not willing to regret it for the rest of his life before he fully enjoys the benefits this world has brought to him.

After hearing Niu Geng's order, Xing Ling basically understood that his master had already made up his mind to carry out this project.

Although she didn't know what kind of impact her proposal would have on the company in the future, and what kind of human civilization it would become, she was unable to change it at the moment and could only follow Niu Geng's footsteps step by step.

But what is certain is that no matter what changes occur in the future, she will always stand firmly in front of Niu Geng and give everything for her master.

So Xing Ling didn't delay too much. After responding to Niu Geng, he directly connected with Gu Wenyu at the research center.

"It's master, I'll do it right away."

The reason why Niu Geng asked Gu Wenyu to be the person in charge of the genetic medicine project was because Gu Wenyu was an authoritative expert and professor in the relevant field.

In addition, she was previously responsible for the research of anti-cancer drugs for Xingyuan Biotech, so she is currently the most experienced person in the company.

If you leave it to him to take charge, Niu Geng will feel more at ease.

Since Xingyuan Technology's underground security base is more intelligent and technological than Longfor Park, Gu Wenyu arrived at Niu Geng's office safely in a very short time after learning about the situation.

After pushing the door open and entering, he walked straight to Niu Geng's desk and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Niu, I don't know if you called me over because you have something to explain."

Since Xingyuan Biotech developed the Pfaff Injection, it has been basically difficult to see cancer patients in human society today, which is equivalent to completely eliminating this disease, which has benefited many patients and families.

So under this situation, Gu Wenyu and her team also began to research specific drugs for other diseases.

Perhaps because of the successful experience and confidence of the Pfaff injection last time, even without the help of Niu Geng's optimization points, their efficiency is very fast. Currently, they have made progressive breakthroughs in the field of drugs for many major diseases, so that Xingyuan Biotech’s drugs have also increased in number.

Because of this, he seemed a little confused about Niu Geng's sudden summons, not knowing what kind of things were planned for him.

Since Niu Geng had made up his mind to develop genetic medicine and teach Gu Wenyu to be responsible, there was no need to be secretive in front of him, so he went straight to the point and told her the details of the matter.

"It's like this. The company plans to open a new project. What I mean is to ask you to be the person in charge of this project."

"Mr. Niu, I don't know what kind of research project it is."

After Gu Wenyu heard Niu Geng's words, he did not agree immediately, but asked about its specific content.

"The company is preparing to develop a drug that can improve human genes to help strengthen the system of all mankind in preparation for returning to the ground. I wonder if you have the confidence to take on this task."

Genetic medicine!

Gu Wenyu obviously did not expect that the task assigned by Niu Geng would be in the field of genes. He was so shocked that he couldn't help shouting in excitement.

Because as an expert in related fields, she knows very well what genes actually represent. If there is a problem during the research process or the operation is improper, the disaster it can bring to human beings is definitely no weaker than the natural disasters on the ground, so we must be extremely cautious. .
