Chapter 61: Things Ferment (Please Read!)
While driving, Lin Jia listened to Chen Yuanguang retelling to him everything he had just experienced in there. Although he had signed a confidentiality agreement, in Chen Yuanguang's mind the confidentiality agreement was for outsiders and Lin Jia was not included.
After listening, the unique push-back feeling of a sports car reminded Chen Yuanguang that Lin Jia had just stepped on the accelerator. Lin Jia opened the window to enjoy the feeling of the autumn breeze blowing in from outside the window, and then laughed out loud.
Chen Yuanguang shouted loudly: "Lin Jia, are you crazy?"
Lin Jia regained her composure after rolling down the car window, with a faint smile on her face, totally different from her usual aloof queen image. "With the investment and endorsement from SDIC, the future development of Light Armor Technology can be said to be smooth sailing.
Whether it is obtaining medical license or subsequent operation and listing, it can be said to be easy.
Anyway, it will be included in the export control catalogue, and the investment from Sequoia and Morgan is of no value to Light Armor Technology. I am happy, but also a little uneasy.
Now they are saying that it can be used for civilian purposes. They are saying this verbally now, but what about the future?
From a conspiracy theory perspective, the reason we say it can be used for civilian purposes now is because it is still in the laboratory stage and it will take time to be put into use, and no human experiments have even started.
They need you to be motivated enough to continue to advance the research of this project, so they will say that civilian use is fine.
After the real results are achieved, especially if it is a technical direction that can be further explored, from short-term hibernation to long-term hibernation and then to human cryopreservation, will it still be allowed for civilian use?
And since the human body can hibernate, is it possible to live forever? If immortality is impossible, how about extending your lifespan? Will you be assigned a similar research topic, and will you lose your freedom while receiving treatment?
I am very uneasy about the future, Yuanguang, you are growing too fast, beyond my cognitive boundaries, and I cannot predict what will happen in the future."
Lin Jia reached over to the passenger seat and held Chen Yuanguang's hand. Chen Yuanguang felt a chill and then comforted him, "Don't think too much."
Lin Jia smiled bitterly: "Yuan Guang, you are not the kind of person who thinks that they would harm me. They are also made up of people, and people have desires. It is difficult for you to grasp everyone's thoughts.
Not to mention the things I just said, there are many high-sounding reasons to achieve them. We all need to think carefully about what we should do if similar things happen in the future. "
Lin Jia's position and background determine her thoughts. As the beneficiary of the demolition, Chen Yuanguang's ideas are more left-wing. If Lin Jia were to go to the future, she would definitely be scared by the future where AI controls everything.
But Chen Yuanguang thinks this kind of future is not bad.
“I’m not that naive. It will take time for what you said to happen, and clinical trials will also take time. We have plenty of time to test and make some preparations.
Besides, I have a certain reputation, so the extreme situation you mentioned is unlikely to happen."
Chen Yuanguang thought that what Lin Jia said made sense and that the future she was worried about might happen. This was a consolation to prevent Lin Jia from worrying too much.
Chen Yuanguang was also thinking that the subtext of the phrase "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" is that the responsibility you need to bear corresponds to the power.
For example, being able to get up early is an ability, and bringing breakfast to your roommates is a responsibility. Then the corresponding powers are that you can decide what they eat, the price of their breakfast, and even whether there is breakfast available for purchase.
Many people only know the first sentence but not the subtext. As a former online writer with a wide range of interests, Chen Yuanguang is very clear about the subtext. He is thinking about how he can fight for the corresponding power. On the way back to the residence, the car fell into an unspeakable silence. Only the roar of the engine sounded in the car. Both of them were thinking about what to do.
"Sequoia Capital China and JPMorgan Chase China executives are missing," the New York Times tweeted on the third day.
"According to insiders, the two cases of missing executives of multinational giants in China are both related to the first round of financing of a Chinese startup. Guangjia Technology, a biopharmaceutical company founded by Mr. Lai Te Chen, held a first round of financing promotion meeting on Friday. At the promotion meeting, JPMorgan Chase and Sequoia Capital reached a preliminary investment intention. After the promotion meeting, the two lost contact.
It is reported that the two's disappearance is highly related to this round of financing, because the technology that Guangjia Technology is researching is human hibernation technology, and there are preliminary results. China believes that this technology needs to be highly confidential and tries to block all possible leaks. Tomorrow, China's technology export ban list will be updated, and human hibernation technology will be included in the list for the first time.
The author believes that this kind of post-event investigation is of no help in optimizing the business environment."
After the New York Times reported the incident, various media outlets quickly followed up and the global public opinion machine quickly started to operate, trying to create an atmosphere that would affect normal foreign investment.
The translation was quickly reposted on social media.
Naturally, there is nothing good to say. Most people accuse us of double standards.
They flock to negative news like flies smelling something.
After the same news was reposted in the evening, the public opinions on Weibo were naturally different:
"Well done. This advanced technology cannot be allowed out. Human hibernation sounds amazing."
"Who said China doesn't have original technology? Now it has it, right? JPMorgan Chase and Sequoia Capital are both vying to invest!"
"The potential of human hibernation technology is huge, especially in the space age. It is almost a necessary prerequisite technology. China has once again taken the lead in this regard. Thumbs up (emoji)!"
"This is a big leap. Did Guang Shen jump from biomedicine to bio-equipment? It's amazing that he can produce top-notch results with such a wide range of research directions."
The topic was quickly blocked on Weibo, related Weibo posts could no longer be searched, and human hibernation was removed from the hot searches.
Don't want to be too high-profile.
As for the outside world, they have no control over it, but a lot of information has been concealed by both parties intentionally or unintentionally.
They have absolutely no idea how to wage a public opinion war. I don't know whether they don't know how or don't want to, or maybe the organization responsible for waging a public opinion war is deliberately pretending not to know how.
The New York Times maliciously concealed information that was unfavorable to itself.
