I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 487 Only profitable things can be made bigger and stronger

Feiyun Technology Group headquarters building, inside Liu Fei's office.

Liu Fei was lying comfortably in his boss chair and chatting animatedly with some super-rich people in the virtual world.

In a virtual chat world, a group of super-rich people were surrounding Liu Fei and asking him questions. The core point was whether the new anti-aging drug "Yannian" recently launched by Feiyun Technology could really prolong life.

"Boss Liu, can your 'extending life' really extend my life?"

Lei Bushi looked at Liu Fei and asked with great concern. He was already over sixty years old, so naturally he began to care about maintaining youthful vitality and prolonging his life.

I have been using Feiyun Technology's anti-aging drugs for a long time, and the effects are naturally very good.

But I don't really believe in the new upgraded product 'Yannian'.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, can this 'extending life' really extend life?"

“Does it have any side effects?”

Xiao Ma Ge also asked, saying that they have reached a certain age and they need it, and their parents need it even more.

Now Feiyun Technology’s new drug is advertised to have a certain life-extending effect, which has attracted countless wealthy people.

However, the wealthy have always been very cautious in doing things and have some doubts about the effectiveness of this drug.

Feiyun Technology is currently the world's top biotechnology company and institution, without a doubt.

But they still have some doubts about this drug that can prolong life.

If there really is, then Liu Fei must have better ones in his hands. This is also the main purpose of everyone looking for Liu Fei. They want to see if Liu Fei has better medicines in his hands that can significantly prolong life.

After all, if it were me, I would definitely have some good things hidden in my hands.

These truly high-tech and good products will definitely not be easily disclosed to the public, but will be kept in our own hands.

Liu Fei looked at everyone, seeing the anxious eyes, and said with a smile: "This medicine will definitely work!"

"The life span of our body is determined by the length of our telomeres. The longer the telomeres are, the more times the cells divide and the longer our life span is."

"Normally, our human cells can divide 50 times, and each division can last 2.5 years. This means that our human lifespan can theoretically exceed 120 years. Of course, there may not be one person who can live to this age among hundreds of millions of people."

"In addition to this, the length of life is also closely related to living conditions, medical level, environment, diet, etc."

"Our company's new 'longevity' product can extend the length of telomeres to a certain extent and increase the number of cell divisions by 2 to 5 times, which means it can extend lifespan by about 5 to 10 years."

"Everyone can rest assured about this. My parents are also using the same product."

Liu Fei said with great certainty.

After hearing Liu Fei's words, everyone paused for a moment, thought carefully, and asked again: "Will this product have any side effects? What are its main working principles and mechanisms?"

"It has no side effects. If there were side effects, would I dare to launch this product to the world's dignitaries?"

Liu Fei immediately asked back.

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. If this thing really had any side effects, the powerful people all over the world would really kill Liu Feilai.

After all, the people who use this product are rich and powerful people all over the world.

Moreover, before using it, everyone will order their biotechnology laboratories and biological scientists to conduct a series of related experiments and tests.

When it comes to their own health, the world's wealthy people are all very concerned about it and would never use products that have safety risks.

"If you are not confident or assured, you can wait for a few years to see how other people use it before making a decision."

"You can also look for professional biotechnology laboratories and scientists to conduct relevant experiments and research."

"As for the working mechanism, principle and composition, these are the secrets of my company."

Liu Fei said very confidently.

This product has been selling very well since its launch.

There has been a craze among wealthy people around the world for extending life expectancy by five to ten years.

Although the amount is not much, for rich people, five or ten years of life is very precious, so even if this product is expensive, there are still a large number of super-rich people who are crazy about it.

"Mr. Liu, do you have any better products?"

"Now this product can only extend the life of five or ten years, which is too little."

“Is there a product that can extend lifespan by decades or even hundreds of years?”

Boss Li looked at Liu Fei and asked with a smile.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. In fact, this was the issue that everyone was most concerned about.

To be honest, extending life expectancy by five or ten years does not mean much to everyone. After all, this is only in theory. In reality, the length of life is still affected by many factors.

But if the product can extend its lifespan for decades or even hundreds of years, it would be a different story.

If someone could originally live to be 100 years old, by extending his life by 100 years, he can live to be 200 years old, which is of great significance.

For these super-rich people, they naturally don’t have to worry about other aspects. They have plenty of money to give themselves the best living environment, but if their life span is limited, it will be useless no matter how much money they spend.

"Our company is also currently conducting research, but we have only recently made a breakthrough. The products we are launching on the market now can increase the lifespan by five to ten years. This is an unprecedented major breakthrough."

"I believe that in the future, scientists will be able to develop drugs that can extend lifespan by decades or even hundreds of years."

Liu Fei's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Given the current rate of technological development, these super-rich people have a good chance of living to that time and waiting for the emergence of drugs that can extend lifespan by decades or even hundreds of years.

After all, Feiyun Technology's development speed is really too fast, and its biotechnology, genetic technology, and biopharmaceuticals are unparalleled in the world.

I have never heard of any product that can extend lifespan before, but now Feiyun Technology has developed it.

Although it can only extend the lifespan by five to ten years, which is an insignificant number, it is a good start. I believe that with the in-depth research, more powerful products will be developed slowly.

It is possible to extend it by decades or even hundreds of years.

"Mr. Liu, if your company develops a new product, please inform me as soon as possible. I will pay you whatever amount you want. I can even invest money in your research institute to support this research."

A super-rich man who was already in his eighties couldn't wait to speak.

He is already over 80 years old. In ancient times, he would not have many days left to live. But in modern society, with the help of technology, people in their s are still full of energy and vigor.

Especially with the advent of anti-aging drugs, this 80-year-old man looks like he is in his s, with a rosy and shiny complexion and full of energy.

"Haha, if there is any new progress, I will definitely announce it as soon as possible."

"After all, this kind of product can definitely make a lot of money, and I also want to make more money."

Liu Fei replied with a smile.

For rich people, living to 100 is not enough, but for ordinary people, who have no money and no support, living to 70 is not enough and is torture.

"Mr. Liu!"

"I heard that you discovered a super gold mine on Mars. Now the Mars base has begun mining the gold mine. I wonder if mining on Mars is technically difficult and if the investment is huge?"

Li Xiting is still young and naturally not very interested in extending his life. What he is most interested in now is interstellar mining.

So after everyone finished discussing the life-extending drugs, he immediately asked about mining on Mars.

In recent years, lunar mining has developed in full swing.

Originally, China was the world's largest importer of iron ore, bauxite, copper ore and other mineral resources.

However, after the rapid development of the lunar mining industry in recent years, Shenzhou has become the world's largest exporter of dozens of mineral resources including iron ore, bauxite, copper, rare earths, etc.

The Interstellar Mining Alliance that was formed completely defeated the original three giants of the international mining industry, gained control of the discourse and pricing power of global mineral resources, and even moved the futures trading market to Jiangzhou.

The mines on the moon have become mountains of gold and silver in everyone's hands. Although the price of minerals has dropped a lot compared to before, it is still a money printing machine in everyone's hands.

Li Xiting is also someone who has truly tasted the sweetness.

But Liu Fei is different. He only occupied a small area on the moon and did not wantonly occupy the mineral resources on the moon. Instead, he set his sights on the larger Mars. He began to explore resources on Mars, build a Martian space city, a Martian base, and so on. Now it is time to start harvesting and start mining gold on Mars.

Naturally, everyone is paying close attention to Feiyun Technology's every move.

Although the price of gold has been falling, it is still the most valuable mineral in interstellar mining.

The largest gold mine discovered on the moon with a reserve of more than 20 tons was taken away by the national team. The mined gold became the anchor of Rabbit Coin's move towards international currency, linking Rabbit Coin to gold.

Without the super gold mine discovered on the moon, all of this would be impossible.

Therefore, major interstellar mining companies have been looking for gold mines on the moon, and later discovered several small gold mines. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people, like Feiyun Technology, have discovered gold mines but have not announced them to the outside world, but have quietly mined them and made a fortune.

Hearing Li Xiting's words, everyone immediately became excited.

The interstellar mining industry is definitely a sunrise industry!
Don’t think that interstellar mining is the same as those of the mine owners in the past. You are totally wrong.

Interstellar mining is a truly high-input, high-tech, and high-output industry.

Behind every interstellar mining company are truly wealthy people and bigwigs. Ordinary people simply cannot afford to play with them. Just purchasing an anti-gravity spacecraft is not a cheap thing. Large anti-gravity spacecraft that cost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Secondly, mining on the moon requires equipment, instruments, bases, etc., which all require high technology, and the employees hired are basically knowledgeable and cultured new-age interstellar miners.

And because the investment is large, many aspects require scientific calculation and planning, otherwise you will lose a lot of money.

Since ancient times, resource-based industries have had no worries.

This is true of salt and iron in ancient times and of minerals in modern times.

Even though the prices of various minerals have fallen sharply now, people are not panicking at all. They are still actively running to the moon and grabbing land on the moon.

No matter what, we should occupy the resources first and then mine them slowly.

Occupying a mine is equivalent to occupying a mountain of gold and silver for future generations, which can be used to slowly exploit and consume in the future.

This is much stronger than other assets.

However, the resources on the moon are limited after all, and now they have basically been divided up by everyone.

After hearing Li Xiting's words, everyone naturally thought about going to Mars with Feiyun Technology.

Mars is larger than the Moon and has more abundant resources.

According to the situation on Feiyun Technology's side, Feiyun Technology has already discovered several gold mines on Mars, some of which are even super large gold mines.

In addition, Mars is also extremely rich in various other resources, and many of them are scarce on Earth.

It’s just that Mars and Earth are too far apart, making travel inconvenient.

The closest distance is about 5000 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is even over 4 million kilometers. Such a long distance, plus Mars is not suitable for human survival.

If you want to mine resources on Mars, the initial investment will be huge and the technical content will be quite high.

The investment would be much greater than mining on the moon, and the risks involved would likely be greater.

There is no air on the moon, so building a base city on the moon can basically guarantee safety.

But it’s different on Mars. Mars has super hurricanes, and the construction of a Mars base city requires greater investment, otherwise it will be unsafe.

In addition, Mars is so far away that rescue would be inconvenient if something happened.

There are many factors to consider, and there are many areas where people can invest now, such as lunar mining, virtual world, aircraft manufacturing, etc. These investments are large, and the payback is not so quick, and there is also a shortage of funds on hand.

Therefore, Feiyun Technology has been the only one that has been investing heavily on Mars, building a Martian space city, a Martian base, and even a Martian water plant and a Martian farm on Mars. While conducting relevant research, it also ensures that people on Mars can eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

"It's not technically difficult." Liu Fei smiled and said, "Anti-gravity spacecraft and anti-gravity aircraft have solved 99% of the problems and difficulties. The rest are nothing. It's just a little farther away from the earth."

Liu Fei knew from everyone's expressions that everyone obviously wanted to go to Mars to mine, especially to mine gold.

Only golden gold is the most attractive. This was true in ancient times and it is still true in modern times.

Naturally, I also hope that more and more people will participate in interstellar mining, from the moon to Mars, and then to the entire solar system.

Only the motivation of interests can make everyone take the first step. Otherwise, even if there is an anti-gravity spacecraft, everyone will still prefer to stay on the earth and in their comfort zone. In this case, it will not be easy to truly go into the interstellar universe.

Just like hundreds of years ago, why were Europeans able to enter the Age of Discovery, but the Ming Dynasty in the East could not?

One of the most important points is profit-driven.

The first people in Europe to embark on the great voyages were some impoverished nobles, sailors, ruffians, etc.

They urgently needed to find wealth from the New World to improve their living environment, so they were full of motivation to explore the ocean.

On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people preferred to live and work in peace and contentment. A few pieces of land were enough for them to work on for the rest of their lives, and ordinary people were also forbidden from going to sea.

As for the Ming Dynasty court, they went to sea only to promote national prestige and show their strength.

Often the investment is huge, but the return is very small, and the expenses are not enough to cover the income, so the business will stop after a few attempts.

Comparing the two, this is the fundamental reason why the West was able to usher in the Age of Discovery, while the Ming Dynasty was getting worse and worse.

The development of anything needs to be driven by interests. Only when there are profitable things will people do them, and only then can they gradually make them bigger and stronger.

"In terms of investment, it's not much different from the moon. The main thing is that building a base on Mars requires a larger investment."

"There are super hurricanes on Mars, after all."

"But Mars also has advantages that the moon doesn't have. There are water resources on Mars. At least the water doesn't need to be transported from Earth. This alone can save a lot of shipping costs."

"In addition, the resources on Mars are also very rich. Feiyun Technology has already announced the preliminary exploration results, and the gold reserves are very rich."

"We at Feiyun Technology are currently mining the Mars 'No. 1 Gold Mine', which contains hundreds of thousands of tons of gold reserves. It's just that the mining is not as concentrated as the gold mines on the moon, but it is still much better than the gold mines on Earth."

Liu Fei generously shared the situation of mining on Mars with everyone.

Mining on Mars is nothing. Once everything on Mars is perfect, Liu Fei will prepare to mine asteroids.

At that time, we will change the trajectory of the asteroid, let it fall to Mars, and then mine the valuable resources on the asteroid.

When tens of thousands or even tens of millions of tons of gold are mined at one time, your eyes will turn bloodshot and you will all run to Mars at all costs.

"Boss Liu, is there really no great technical difficulty?"

Someone asked anxiously, "You can't take all the other gold mines on Mars. At least leave some soup for everyone to drink."

"Yes, yes, you have occupied the largest gold mine, you can't occupy other gold mines."

"Boss Liu, how about we form a partnership?"

When the others heard this, they also started to speak.

"Haha, I've never been greedy, nor am I a greedy person."

"I have no particular interest in the mineral resources on the moon, or on Mars."

"And I have always adhered to the principle that we all make money together and we all get rich together. I think everyone knows this."

"There are a lot of gold mines on Mars. If you want to dig, go ahead. Whoever gets there first gets it. It's fair competition."

"And everyone should not always limit their sights to Mars and the Moon, but look at the entire solar system. With anti-gravity spacecraft, although the solar system is large, we can explore it at will."

"The resources in the entire solar system are far, far greater than those in Earth, Mars, and the Moon. The asteroid belt alone contains endless resources. If we could mine asteroids, any asteroid we mine might contain hundreds of millions of tons of steel, tens of thousands of tons of gold, tens of millions of tons of copper, and so on."

"Building a base city on Mars now can also prepare for the subsequent mining of resources from asteroids."

Liu Fei said with a smile.

After hearing Liu Fei's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

If it is really as Liu Fei said, then the resources on Mars or the moon seem to be nothing.

The resources in the asteroid belt are even richer. Any asteroid mined can turn into a mountain of copper or gold.
