Chapter 946: Using Technology to Kidnap the World
Zhang Heping previously restricted the use of Shouyuan 120 medicine outside Heping Hospital due to concerns about its confidentiality and monopoly.

Now, I hear that Elder Hua is going to take two doses of Lifespan 120 potion to Shanghai to unite some people and make some things happen.

Although Zhang Heping guessed who he was going to see and the deeper meaning behind it, he still advised: "Secretary Chen can deliver the medicine. You don't have to go!"

Old Hua's tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly, and he smiled, "It's better if I go; some things need to be said face to face."

“It’s good to be open about it, so that there won’t be any shady dealings.” Zhang Heping nodded slightly and then said, “Elder Hua, we still have the Lifespan 160 potion unused, and the Lifespan 200 potion is under development.”

"It's okay to give me two 120-year lifespan potions. There's no need to put yourself in such a difficult position."

"What's there to complain about!" Old Hua stood up with a smile, his earlier fatigue gone. "Heping, what do you think about the medicine and medical staff? Can you arrange that today?"

Zhang Heping also stood up and said casually, "I'll arrange for bodyguards to take you and the medicine to Shencheng. We can pick a few medical staff from the Shencheng Beauty Department. They're all idle anyway."

"As for how you go to the Magic City, I don't care."

After finishing his speech, Zhang Heping spoke to his wife Tang Xin, who was still unwrapping her birthday presents in the living room, and then took Hua Lao to the Big Health Medical Research Institute at the foot of the mountain.

Before parting, Hua asked Zhang Heping to discuss the Nobel Peace Prize with the foreigners a couple of days later, but Zhang Heping changed the subject.

In the end, Zhang Heping only agreed to Hua Lao's idea of ​​sending a few experts to attend the meeting.

Grandma Zheng and Grandpa Li originally wanted to accompany him to Shanghai, but Grandpa Hua disagreed and told them to stay on Hong Kong Island with Director Wang to keep an eye on Zhang Heping's situation.

For the next three days, Zhang Heping did not go out. He just asked his concubine Chen Shuting to arrange people to entertain the experts from various countries who arrived in Hong Kong Island one after another.

Some foreign experts even rushed over from the Gobi Desert in the northwest of the mainland just to discuss with Zhang Heping in person the relevant issues about the principle of star gate transmission.

As of July 6, the mainland has still not responded to the suspension of the 6th Peace Prize Awards Ceremony.

However, on this day, Zhang Heping attended the global science and technology exchange conference organized by the Heping Group.

Due to the large number of participants and for safety reasons, this exchange meeting was divided into a main venue and a branch venue.

The main venue is located in Studio 1 in the Media Building east of the Peace College. It has a full set of satellite and network live broadcast equipment, and the venue is large enough with 880 seats for spectators, which can accommodate 600 foreign experts.

The branch venue was set up in the stadium west of the Peace College. The number of people who registered online for the conference reached 3, but the actual number of attendees was less than 8.

The main thing is that going to the branch venue is just watching the live broadcast, so it is better to lie on the bed in the hotel, watch the live broadcast on the Internet with your mobile phone, and leave messages on the screen.

During the morning meeting, Zhang Heping briefly explained the theme of this exchange meeting, which was to make the Peace Prize a more open and international award.

To this end, the Peace Group plans to look for Peace Prize Trust Fund investment projects overseas and recruit a group of paper review experts.

Compared to these changes, most people are concerned about why the 6th Peace Prize was not awarded. Will future Peace Prize winners still be awarded a life-saving medicine advance card?

Zhang Heping did not answer the question of why the 6th Peace Prize was not awarded, but he answered other questions one by one.

Because Zhang Heping avoided answering the reason for the suspension of the 6th Peace Prize, it instead attracted in-depth investigation from various countries.

The afternoon meeting was simple and we focused on discussing issues related to the paper on the principle of stargate transmission.

After an afternoon and a night of fermentation, the news that the Peace Prize Trust Fund managed by the Shenzhen branch of Peace Investment had suffered a forced share swap and lost more than 20 billion magnesium yuan was first revealed by the magnesium media.

The next day, when many foreign investors were considering whether to suspend investment in mainland projects or withdraw their capital, the investment promotion team of Ou Mei had already flooded the phones of Peace Group, Peace Investment, and Stepmother Investment Company, hoping that the Peace Prize Trust Fund would consider investing in their countries.

On the other hand, Zhang Heping seemed to be indifferent and was still discussing future space development issues with experts from various countries.

They talked about the existing peaceful space technology, the feasibility of applying controlled nuclear fusion technology on spacecraft, and then talked about the construction of space-based computing power network, etc.

That night, the 6th Peace Prize Award Ceremony was not held, but Zhang Heping discussed with experts from various countries at the evening meeting how to maintain the long-term and healthy operation of the Peace Prize.

On July 8, Zhang Heping still had not received any news from the capital, so he no longer had any hope.

At the science and technology exchange meeting that day, Zhang Heping answered many questions about silicon chips, quantum chips, and photonic chips.

It is no exaggeration to say that the technical questions Zhang Heping answered that day directly promoted foreign research on various types of chips by at least ten years!

It was not until Zhang Heping made this move that Mrs. Zheng, Mr. Li, Director Wang and others came to Zhang Heping, hoping that he would be more restrained and not talk too much about cutting-edge technology to the outside world.

Unfortunately, on the next day, July 9, Zhang Heping continued to do as he pleased and discussed mechanics, materials, and chemistry again.

Aerospace, physics, chemistry, and mechanical intelligence have all been discussed, and various countries are suddenly looking forward to the meeting tomorrow, July 10th!

Because the biological and medical aspects of the Peace Prize have not yet been discussed.

You should know that the greatest advantage of the Peace Group is not the hundreds of billions of magnesium in cash flow in their accounts, but their monopoly on the 120-year lifespan potion!

They haven't even started testing the 160-year lifespan potion yet, and the 200-year lifespan potion, whose research and development progress is unknown!

Hua Lao, far away in the capital, did not believe that Zhang Heping had monopolized the Lifespan 120 potion.

In his opinion, Zhang Heping sold the Shouyuan 120 potion to foreigners at a high price of 120 billion RMB, firstly to make up for the loss of free drug trials in China, and secondly to enhance the international credit of RMB.

If it weren't for the trouble with Power Grid Corporation, Zhang Heping would not have stopped the automated production line of Shouyuan 120 pharmaceutical at Shenzhen Peace College.

On the evening of the 9th, after receiving the compensation agreement for the Peace Prize Trust Fund regarding the power grid company incident, Mr. Hua took a private plane to Shenzhen.

The next morning, he rushed to the entrance of the media building and, together with Old Mrs. Zheng, Old Mr. Li and others, stopped Zhang Heping who was about to go in for a meeting.

"I know you're upset!" In front of countless passersby, Old Hua handed a brown paper bag to Zhang Heping and said, "We'll have to wait for the investigation before we can make a decision about those people."

"This is your compensation. If you think it's okay, have Manager Zhou sign and stamp it!"

The Manager Zhou mentioned by Mr. Hua is the general manager of Heping Investment's Shenzhen branch.

He handed Zhang Heping a brown paper bag, and Zhang Heping's eyes twitched involuntarily after glancing at it. Zhang Heping took out four agreements from the bag, glanced at them briefly, and couldn't help but click his tongue, "10% of the tobacco company's shares and profit-sharing rights, that's a piece of lucrative meat, how could they be willing to give it up?"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not!" Old Hua said confidently, because although Zhang Heping had invested 300 billion magnesium in the power grid, it was still a long way off before he could receive dividends.

Tobacco companies are different. Not only do they pay dividends every year, but their annual profits are also constantly increasing.

Given the single nature of tobacco companies, it would have been impossible to distribute dividends, and all profits should have been handed over.

However, they were in the wrong in the matter of Power Grid Shares.

In addition, this dividend is given to the Peace Prize Trust Fund for the distribution of the Peace Prize and reinvestment.

Strictly speaking, not a penny belongs to Peace Group, which only has indirect management rights.

"Please give it to Zhou Shan! I have a meeting to attend!" Zhang Heping put the agreement back into the brown paper bag and then handed it to Hua Lao.

Zhang Heping wasn't interested in the money; what he wanted was the outcome of the investigation. But Hua Lao didn't bring it; he only said that they still had to wait for the investigation.

"Heping!" Old Lady Zheng grabbed Zhang Heping's arm and said solemnly, "Don't tell anyone about the technology behind the longevity potion and regeneration repair fluid today!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded lightly and walked towards the media building.

The smile on Hua Lao's face disappeared. He thought that when Zhang Heping got the agreement, he would let the matter of the power grid shares go, but he did not expect the other party to be so indifferent.

Grandma Zheng, however, saw things clearly. She shook her head and said to Grandpa Hua, "The money that the Peace Charity Foundation donates every year is much more than this 10% dividend!"

"Besides, this is just a dividend right, not real equity."

"I wonder if he listened!" Elder Li said with a hint of worry. "If he reveals the technology behind the 120-year lifespan potion during the live broadcast, RMB won't be so popular anymore!"

Director Wang, who was standing nearby, pulled out his phone and switched directly to the live broadcast of the World Internet Forum. He then said, "You still don't understand peace well enough."

"I called Vice President Deng last night and asked him about the technologies that Heping has been promoting for the past few days. They are all outdated and have not yet been fully developed abroad."

"This brat caused such a fuss by suspending the 6th Peace Prize, and even wasted so much time attending meetings. He definitely has ulterior motives!"

Old Hua, Old Li, and Old Lady Zheng pondered Director Wang's words and Zhang Heping's behavior over the past few days, and some doubts inevitably arose in their hearts.

"Heping has started speaking!" Director Wang said, raising the phone a little higher and trying to turn up the volume, but unfortunately it was already the loudest.

Studio 1 of the Media Building is the main venue for the Global Science and Technology Exchange Conference.

"The topic of our meeting today is the feasibility of converting brain waves into mental power!"

As soon as Zhang Heping said this, the uproar in the main venue was transmitted through the mobile phone, and the uproar in the branch venue could be heard from a long distance away!

"I know you want to ask about the 120 Lifespan Potion and the Regeneration and Repair Fluid." Zhang Heping sat in the middle of the first row of podiums, looking at the camera with a smile, and said:
"It's the same explanation again. The production technology for the 120-year lifespan potion cannot be made public yet. The main reason is that they are worried about certain forces raising blood slaves."

"The regeneration and repair fluid is harmful to the environment. I believe the Magnesium State should have discovered this harm. After all, it's been several months since you stole the regeneration bacteria from the Shenzhen Peace Academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly blond man at the podium turned on the microphone and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Zhang, we in the Magnesium Country would never do such a thing. Please trust us."

"It doesn't matter who it is!" Zhang Heping said calmly, "I just wanted to warn the person who stole the regeneration bacteria in front of everyone."

"After using the regenerative bacteria, you must sterilize the wastewater with high temperature and not discharge it directly into the sewer."

"Otherwise, you might actually find a few Ninja Turtles in your sewers in the future!"

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still in the comics and have not yet appeared on TV, so many people present did not understand the meme. However, many young people watching the live broadcast outside did understand it and filled the screen with explanations.

"Okay, let's get back to the point!" Zhang Heping looked at the camera seriously and said, "Today I'm going to discuss the topic of converting brain waves into mental power. This isn't the previous research on superpowers and mutants."

"I opened a special section on mental power on the World Internet Forum and uploaded some of my humble opinions on brain waves and mental power."

"Can mental power become a new discipline? What impact will it have on us humans in the future? Please watch an advertisement first."

After he finished speaking, the animated video that Zhang Bei and his team had previously made to promote the virtual dream game was projected onto the white screen behind Zhang Heping.

At the same time, people who are watching the live broadcast see clearer animated video inserts instead of the blurry picture on the screen.

This video ad, with sound effects, was actually aired on TV in advance to build momentum, so many people have seen it.

After the animation video finished playing, Zhang Heping appeared in the middle of the live broadcast screen again, and he said:

"Virtual dream games use mental power to transmit game scenes to game helmets and game cabins, and then transmit them to the gamer's brain."

"Some people might think this is science fiction and impossible. But think about it: 1000 years ago, who would have imagined we could sit down and hold a live conference like this, and have people thousands of miles away see it?"

"I saw a lot of people looking at their phones. They were probably browsing the spiritual power section on the World Internet Forum."

"When you read that content, did you ever think about how you felt when you read the paper on the principles of stargate transmission?"

"Stargates and mental power are things that most people find difficult to understand, but is it really impossible to develop them?"

"Mr. Zhang, I've looked at the articles you've posted about mental power, and they're all very superficial introductions." A brown-haired, big-nosed foreign male expert stood up and asked, taking the microphone, "Excuse me, do you have any more in-depth research?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping said without hesitation, "But I want to use this information to exchange for some secret research materials from other countries!"

"Ever since I read the information about the Magnesium Star Gate, I've discovered that this world isn't as simple as it seems."

"If all nations are willing to share their secret research, I believe that peaceful space programs can be realized one by one in my lifetime!"

A white-skinned man stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, with all due respect, instead of exchanging your mental power for this little bit of information, you might as well exchange it for the technology related to the longevity potion!"
