I Have A Super USB Drive
/ I Have A Super USB Drive Chapter 487 – Blacklight Foundation
When everyone was indescribably shocked, Yu Qi felt his body suddenly loosened and he started to fall headfirst at free fall!
The ceiling of the venue was a full five or six meters above the ground. Once he dropped headfirst, he would die or at least become disabled. Yu Qi instantly let out a scream. It was not only him, but all the people who had been pressed to the ceiling also dropped down like dumplings. The entire venue was filled with one scream after another for a time.
Still, just as Yu Qi instinctively closed his eyes, when he was about to make close contact with the ground, the expected impact did not happen…
Yu Qi slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that he was frozen in mid-air again, no more than one meter away from the ground.
Immediately, an invisible force pushed him and Yu Qi's body suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees and became upright once more. His feet stepped on the ground again.
“Phew…”
He returned to his seat, bewildered. Yu Qi was now totally pale. He looked around in cold sweat but saw that other people had regained their freedom of movement just like him. At this time, everyone looked at the man on the ceiling as if he was a ghost.
If they could explain what happened before as a magic trick, then everything they had experienced just now was no magic trick…
Hold on!
Suddenly, Yu Qi seemed to realize something. The group of people called out the man's name just now, which meant that except for himself and a few others, everyone who came to the meeting knew who this man was.
His name was Chen Chen?
Huh?
Hearing this familiar name, Yu Qi pondered a little dazedly, then he seemed to recall something and quickly raised his head!
This man was Chen Chen!
At this moment, Yu Qi finally understood why the foremost leaders of the four continents had gathered here and why a non-politician appeared in such an important venue, and why he would stand here as the speaker…
There was only one reason and that was that he was the founder of Blacklight Biotechnology — a legend who could crush the Northern American government, carry out arms trade with the Earth Federation as an individual, and even use his own developed technology to affect the entire human society!
Chen Chen!
However, in his memory, Chen Chen was a young man, but now the person standing on the stage looked like a patient who was so thin that he was unrecognizable, that calling him terminally ill would not be an exaggeration?
At this moment, a famous online picture flashed in Yu Qi's mind. In the picture, there was an old man with white beard and hair, and a few lines of text accompanying it:
'A person who does scientific research is wise, contented, and knows how to live. The secret he has learned is, scientific research in the morning, scientific research at noon, and scientific research at night; you see, he is almost 30 years old now, and he is still in good spirits…'
Regardless of Yu Qi's inner thoughts, at this moment the thin, unrecognizable man spread his arms, slowly floated down from the ceiling, and then stood firmly on the ground. “Everyone, now do you still think all this is a magic trick?”
Everyone wiped off their sweat silently and there was silence in the audience.
“The 'Weeping Angel' incident isn't the first memetic incident that occurred on Earth.”
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Chen continued to speak. His voice gradually became low and reverberated through the meeting room at a low pitch. “I believe all of you remember the 'This Man' incident that happened in Northern America and the 'Three Statues' incident two years ago. Those two were similarly memetic incidents, but were detected and calmly resolved by us Blacklight Biotechnology, which allowed our human civilization to avoid the corresponding crisis.”
“What!”
Several high-level officials in Northern America immediately slammed on the table. Among them, Nancy stood up angrily. “You were responsible for the three statues that disappeared two years ago?”
“Sorry.”
Chen Chen nodded slightly and smiled apologetically. “If human civilization needs a person who hides in the dark and allows progress by carrying heavy burdens, then all these sins will be borne by Blacklight Biotechnology.”
“You…”
Nancy wanted to say something but was stopped by the high-ranking official beside him.
“So, your Blackwatch Corporation has the technology to control memes?”
The president of Northern America looked at Chen Chen solemnly. “Please answer us truthfully on this.”
“Yes, but only superficially.”
Chen Chen stared at her and nodded calmly.
As he said this, the expressions of all the people present changed even more and the eyes of everyone looking at Chen Chen were instantly full of complexities.
Whether it was this angel statue incident or the last This Man incident, everyone understood that memes were far more dangerous and unstable than nuclear weapons. After all, nuclear weapons could only destroy human civilization at best, but memes could even destroy the foundation of what they knew…
Therefore, Chen Chen, who claimed to have acquired memetic technology, was instantly upgraded from being an ordinary person to being on an equal footing with the four continents.
“Memetic technology is a long way from being thoroughly studied by human civilization.”
At this time, Chen Chen said frankly, “And the reason I know this is because I'm only a successor. I inherited the legacy of the man who disappeared from this world, so I was able to build the famous Blacklight Biotechnology and finally now stand in front of you.”
Hearing this sentence, everyone's expressions flickered and they considered the truthfulness of Chen Chen's words.
“I believe that with your intelligence, you should've already noticed that something was wrong. What is the purpose of the Earth Federation's existence? Isn't it to unite the power of all mankind? But why should we unite when there's no foreign enemy?”
Chen Chen stood on the stage and spoke slowly, “Also, the quantum computer Adam is the legacy left by 'that person' to us. What's his purpose and why did he leave this machine that can predict the future?
“If these two things are no big deal, then the existence of the Earth Federation United Front is even more suspicious…”
Hearing Chen Chen's rhetorical questions, Yu Qi could not help recalling the United Front's classification for various incidents. One of them was the so-called “abnormal event”.
It turned out that the Earth Federation United Front and the quantum computer Adam existed for the sake of catastrophic disasters such as memes?
After Chen Chen said so many things that only truly high-level figures could know, Yu Qi's heart was overcome with shock. All his previous suspicions had collapsed at this time and were completely exposed under the light of day…
At this moment, the eyes of the leaders of the four continents also flashed distractedly. Since Chen Chen was able to speak of the secret of the “blank” and at the same time had learned all this from nothing, in addition to his current achievements, everyone had already believed at least half of his words.
“If you're the successor to the 'non-existent person', what are you going to do now?”
At this moment, the president of the North Sea Continent suddenly spoke. He took a deep look at Chen Chen. “And what do you want by inviting us here today?”
“I don't need anything because it's not me who is in need, but human civilization.”
Chen Chen said with a faint smile, “I think the reason you didn't dissolve the Earth Federation is that you've found some clues. I have to say that the situation of humanity is very precarious now…
“'That person' told me that this world is far crueler than we thought. In the vast universe, the earth is like an island in the ocean and human civilization is a castle built by children with fine sand. It's exquisite but fragile. If any big wave hits, this civilization that mankind is so proud of will completely collapse with barely a splash.
“In addition, he also mentioned a theory called the 'Great Filter of Civilization' — if the planet is said to be a whole, then a planet with life is a human being with a soul. But we just don't get that the emergence of civilization isn't a pleasant surprise for the planet, but is like cancer cells instead. Civilization develops at the cost of harming the planet itself…
“So every civilization that develops from a corresponding ecosystem needs to withstand this resistance from the planet's immune system. As long as the civilization isn't destroyed, this kind of resistance will continue…”
Chen Chen continued to speak solemnly. “Our human perceptions have always been wrong. From the time we experienced World War II until now, almost no large-scale disaster has occurred. This gives us the illusion that the world is very safe, but if you look at history, you'll find that this kind of 'security' is just an accidental phenomenon. The history of human civilization has always been based on countless natural and man-made disasters. So 'that person' united all humankind to create the Earth Federation for responding to crises that originate from the planet or even the depths of the universe…
“This was what 'he' told me.”
As he spoke, Chen Chen stood in front of everyone, spreading his arms. “As the successor of 'that person', I must inherit his will. Therefore, I hope that the entire human race can unite or at least that everyone here can join forces and work together, to deal with any crisis that may arise at any time in the future. This is the purpose of my trip…”
A true “union”?
Hearing Chen Chen's words, everyone did not reply immediately but bowed their heads in thought.
“If we agree, what do we have to contribute, and what can we get from it?”
The President of Northern America suddenly asked.
“I'll share the legacy I received from 'that person'.”
Chen Chen replied without hesitation, “In this legacy, in addition to the technologies that I've released by now, there are more secret technologies that haven't been announced.”
With that, Chen Chen suddenly waved his hand and dozens of paper sheets flew toward the leaders of the continents. These people picked up the papers in their hands and looked at them. Everyone looked astounded…
In this material, although there were only a few catalogs, it contained all the things that humans had dreamed of, but were hard to obtain!
Super AI technology, normal-temperature superconductor, stellarator reactor, super tokamak reactor, mini hadron collider, nuclear-powered spacecraft, fully automatic medical device…
The densely packed catalog dazzled all of them because everyone present knew that every item in here was enough to trigger a new industrial revolution!
At this moment, everyone's world was turned upside down!
“In addition to the commercial use of these technologies, I can take them out and share them with everyone.”
Chen Chen spread out his hands and faced the crowd with an enticing tone. “The fully automatic medical device can cure all human diseases so far, and at the same time, greatly extend the human lifespan by more than three hundred years…
“The normal-temperature superconductor discards the need for low-temperature superconductors to maintain ultrlow temperatures of negative one hundred degrees. It can maintain superconductivity at room temperature, which is enough to overturn the entire industrial system…
“A mature super tokamak reactor has a maximum Q-value of over 10,000. Once completed, human civilization will enter the age of unlimited energy and humans will formally evolve into a trans-planetary species…
“There are more inheritances that I can share with all of your continents.”
Chen Chen continued. “And what you need to contribute is very simple and that's to protect all humankind with me wholeheartedly. I hope that everyone can work with me to establish a special organization dedicated to protecting human civilization. This organization will have the highest authority, becoming a legal armed department independent of the Federation's governments. Plus, it'll have the same privileges as the Earth Federation United Army. It can operate in any region of the world without being obstructed by the law…”
When they heard Chen Chen's request, everyone came back to their senses. Among them, the elegant man beside Yu Qi thought for a while and then chuckled slightly. “If you can lead the entire human civilization to resist the damage caused by the planet, what's wrong with giving you permission?”
“On the condition that you cannot interfere in the internal affairs of all continents, let alone use this organization for war.”
The President of Northern America added.
“Of course.”
Chen Chen nodded and solemnly said, “Please be rest assured, my ambition isn't in authority, but in immortality, which should be evident from my first technology.”
“In that case, what is the structure of this organization?”
The president of the North Sea Continent was a little curious and said, “And how do you plan to establish this institution, and what is its function?”
“For the structure of the organization, I'll allow each of you to send one person to join the highest council of the organization. One, they'll be responsible for controlling the organization and two, they'll be in charge of supervision. Moreover, the identity of this person should be top secret.”
Chen Chen said without having to think, “The decision-makers of this supreme council have the right to vote and can effectively make suggestions to the organization.”
“As for the name of this institution, we can call it — Blacklight Foundation.”
