You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

“I stood on the cusp and held on tightly, while the sun and the moon spun.

I really want to live another five hundred years! "

This song not only sings about a classic TV series, but also expresses the voices of many people: a life of less than a hundred years is really too short. I want to live for five hundred years!

Well, maybe five hundred years isn’t enough. It would be best if I could live for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even forever.

This is also the dream of everyone from ancient times to the present!
Throughout the ages, so many emperors and generals have made elixirs and taken medicines in pursuit of immortality. Even though they knew that so many people before them had died prematurely from making elixirs and taking medicines, they could not stop their urge because of the dream of immortality!

Under the modern scientific system, people know that immortality is just a fantasy, but they still pursue it tirelessly, and even come up with the idea of ​​uploading consciousness to computers and the cloud to achieve immortality, and then continue to experiment with it. Virtual online games and brains in a jar in science fiction films are manifestations of such plans.

The most famous one is "The Matrix" trilogy. People's consciousness is in the virtual world, and their bodies are placed in a nutrient tank. The imagination is extremely big.

The consciousness control and brain-computer interfaces currently being developed in various countries are the practical extensions of such fantastic plans.

People are also looking forward to the day when our science and technology will be able to reach the point of uploading consciousness. When consciousness is immortal, the dream of immortality will naturally be fulfilled.

There are also crazy plans that believe that flesh and blood are weak and that machines can ascend to heaven. The entire human body would be transformed into machines, leaving only the brain, and then the brain would be provided with nutrients, in order to achieve longevity or even immortality.

Genetic drugs are also being developed, as well as other things like blood transfusions, heart transplants, etc.

It can be seen that "immortality" will not disappear no matter how advanced technology and civilization are. It has always been there and will always be there, unless mankind perishes or achieves "immortality".

But no matter which plan or fantasy it is, everyone believes that it is impossible to do it at this stage, and it will not be possible in the foreseeable future of one hundred years, two hundred years, or even five hundred years.

No one expected that at this critical moment, the "life potion" would arrive. The state made an official announcement and held a grand press conference to tell everyone that there is now a potion that can improve physical fitness in all aspects.

Isn’t this definitely a genetic medicine and longevity medicine?

Without any disease or disaster, your physical fitness will be greatly improved, and your life span will naturally increase!
As a result, countless people have discussed this, and the vast majority of people are optimistic about it. After all, such a sci-fi thing as "life potion" has come out. Isn't it normal to extend life by two, three, or even five hundred years?

Even if I think it is impossible, I dare not say it with certainty. After all, the "life potion" itself is an impossible thing.

If you have improved your physical fitness in all aspects, is there any problem in living for 500 years?
No problem, that makes sense!

This topic has become more and more popular as time goes by.

After the press conference, people who had participated in the clinical trials in the past few years came forward to talk about the "life potion", and the secret that had been keeping in their hearts and made them feel uncomfortable.

Normal people, patients with minor illnesses, patients with serious illnesses, critically ill patients, cancer patients...

They were everywhere in the country, of all ethnic groups, men and women, old and young, all of them came out to tell their stories, using their own personal experiences to talk about how good the "life potion" was in front of the media. Especially the elderly, they said that after taking the "life potion", they used to walk with a slight tremor, but now they can walk up to the fifth floor in one breath, their originally white hair has turned black, and their dry skin like chicken skin has become rosy...

The emergence of these has confirmed that the "life potion" is indeed very good and powerful, and it has also let people know that rejuvenation is possible.

In that case, what’s wrong with living 500 years longer?
Isn't it natural?

Until the very end, when the officials saw that the "life potion" was about to become an elixir of life and an immortality potion, and that the flesh and blood of people who took the life potion would also have the effect of prolonging life, and other weird remarks were becoming more and more intense, they quickly came out to refute the rumors, saying that the "life potion" was not a longevity potion and could not make people live for 500 years, but it could only improve people's physical condition. Only then did this kind of "longevity theory" die down a lot.

Damn, we’re almost getting Tang Monk’s flesh, don’t you know that there are a lot of vampires and Uncle Ba who love to be human in other countries?

Even so, this topic remains popular and has developed various versions in various hidden corners.

Conspiracy theorists, or ordinary people, cannot get rid of their vulgar tastes and always like to make blind guesses. Even after the official rumor has been refuted, they still continue to talk about longevity.

They said that the "life potion" that was announced was just the basic version, and there must be an advanced version or even a special edition.

The advanced version is the kind of medicine that can turn you into a real superman after taking it. This argument is very popular abroad. Some of the people are fooled by the media, and more of it is the instigation and smear campaign by those in power in order to attack us and demonize us.

Things like unifying the world, slaughtering the globe, enslaving all humanity... and so on, the more horrifying it is.

The view that special editions are available is prevalent both at home and abroad, because of historical reasons and more importantly because of human nature.

These different versions of the argument completely ignored the official rumor-busting, and no one could refute it. Even as the relevant departments, hospital medical staff, soldiers in the team, and those active in the relevant departments around us began to take the same "life potion" as everyone else, it could not be offset.

As the main promoter of the "Human Fitness Improvement Plan", Zhao Mo was not moved at all by these controversial arguments. Like the people above him, he had known that this would be the result.

Human nature is like this, what can we do about it?

However, when he went to Wudaokou again, Mr. Zhou Zuojian, who was about to retire, pushed open the door of his office, coughed, and asked embarrassedly: "Do you have a more effective medicine? One injection can make people rejuvenate silently?" Zhao Mo was still almost defeated.

"I never thought that you would come to me and ask this!"

Zhao Mo looked at him speechlessly.

Zhou Zuojian smiled awkwardly and explained, "You are the amazing Professor Zhao, so it's normal for you to be able to create a rejuvenation needle~"

Zhao Mo looked up at the ceiling of the office, then said, "For a moment I didn't know whether you were praising me or teasing me. I am magical, but I am still a human being, not a future person, let alone a god."

"I'm praising you, of course I'm praising you!"

Zhou Zuojian said quickly, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.

He originally wanted to look for Li Yu, but after thinking about it, he realized that the source was still with Zhao Mo, so he came here.

Zhao Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't praise me like that. My little heart can't handle it."

Zhou Zuojian's mouth twitched, and he asked unwillingly, "Is there anything that can prolong life?"

"..."

Zhao Mo was speechless again, and then he patiently asked, "How long do you mean by extending life? One year? Two years? Or how many years?"

Zhou Zuojian thought for a moment and replied, "At least fifty to one hundred years~"

Zhao Mo looked at him seriously and said, "No, I have already taken out everything I can. These are things that improve physical fitness, but they cannot extend life. The things you mentioned about rejuvenation and extending life span are in the future, in myths and legends, not with me."

"Okay~"

Zhou Zuojian smacked his lips with a look of regret and then left.

Zhao Mo thought to himself: "Fortunately I told the higher-ups early on, otherwise everyone would come to me like this old man, and I would be so annoyed!"

Even so, Zhao Mo was repeatedly asked these two questions by many people in the following period of time. He was too lazy to answer some insignificant people. But when some elderly seniors asked him occasionally when they met him, he couldn't help but answer.

With no other options, he had to let "Xiaowu" come forward and post a comment using his account. While liking the "Human Quality Improvement Plan", he commented that longevity, superman and other fantasy are not in the present, but in the future and myths, and then encouraged everyone to actively participate in science.
After that, no one from Zhao Mo came to ask him about this matter again.

As for the Internet, it is still spreading and "Xiaowu" can be detected on the Internet, but it can no longer affect him.

A week later, the human fitness improvement program officially began.

The medicines that had been stockpiled long ago were allocated from the central warehouse to all parts of the country on a large scale, and then notifications were issued from top to bottom, arranging for the people across the country to take them. The principle of voluntariness was upheld because they were at one's own expense.

Yes, at your own expense, voluntary, not forced.

The cost is not expensive because it is included in the medical insurance plan. Those with medical insurance pay RMB 1,000 per cycle, which lasts three months and the dosage is 100 ml.

Considering the price based on this amount, it is still a bit expensive.

Many people hesitated after seeing this plan, and some people on the Internet said that who knows whether it is a guinea pig, like the previous national vaccination, so they did not buy it at the first time.

But more people still made an appointment as soon as possible. They believed in the country and believed in Zhao Mo!
Dr. Li Yu from the Wudaokou Active Substance Research Group was introduced at the press conference, but both official news and the majority of self-media have intentionally or unintentionally pointed out in their publicity that Dr. Li Yu is a student of Academician Zhao Mo.

Everyone understood it at a glance. Oh, it turns out that this good thing was created by Academician Zhao Mo. No wonder!

Even if I had my doubts about it, after seeing the promotion saying that this "life potion" had no side effects, I was tempted to make an appointment.

If it is useful, it will change your life.

If it doesn't work, that's fine. It won't cause any harm anyway. Maybe you can even take this opportunity to ask for compensation. Why not?

In just seven days, nearly 500 million people in the country completed the purchase.

The remaining 700 million people who did not purchase were either minors, the elderly, or people living in rural areas, who were delayed in completing the purchase for various reasons.

The health department has calculated that it is expected that more than 90% of the population in the country will be covered within one month, and 100% coverage will be achieved within two months. However, 100% coverage requires a lot of effort and active work~ (End of this chapter)
