Chapter 514 Floating City
When An Feng's speech came to an end, he allowed to ask questions.
A famous female student raised her hand and stood up: "Sir, based on the effectiveness of the medical warehouse targeting cells, I want to ask, can it extend lifespan and keep young?"
"It seems that ladies love beauty." An Feng joked, and laughter sounded from the audience.
An Feng continued: "Biotech can keep organisms young and energetic, but - it cannot interfere with nature at present. For example, the decline of brain tissue."
"This is the law of life. Human beings have too shallow understanding of themselves. Technology can restore youth, but it cannot create life like normal men and women. The birth of babies is a brand new life form, and cloning is just a slowdown. This is like a forbidden zone set by God, with constant difficulties."
"Sir, do you think you can live forever?" another person asked.
An Feng said, "This is not what we are currently exploring. But I think that sometimes rebelling against the law and living too long is a torture. You will watch your friends die one by one, your children enter the twilight, and there is no one in the world who can understand and have a common topic with you. After you are 60 years old, you will continue to have a long life span, and your physical and mobile inconveniences will be even more tormenting."
"I don't think it's happy, it's loneliness," he said.
"I think too." An Feng nodded.
Longevity needs to be addressed with two issues: lifespan and aging. While extending lifespan, it is also necessary to slow down the aging of the human body. If it can reach an average of 140 years old, it will only appear at least after the age of 90. Otherwise, the age increase will not be of great significance and will only form a burden.
After An Feng answered some questions, he looked at the audience, and everyone stood up and applauded thunderously.
He nodded slightly and walked off the stage.
...
Regarding the issue of medical warehouses, Royal Institute and An Industry are currently working together. The matter is not like what he said in his speech, "still working hard" - but has already ended. It is currently in clinical practice and the results are good. The cost of each biological treatment is too high.
However, he still can afford it, and he probably has to use it frequently, because there are ladies at home. This kind of magic is an indescribable temptation for them, including Joanna. She has been looking forward to it since she learned about An Feng’s plan. She would rather live only seventy years than aging fifty years (because of the improvement of biological beverages, human lifespan generally extends to one hundred and ten years).
On the way home from the college, An Feng and Fred continued to communicate.
Fred's level of knowledge is equivalent to a college student, or even some areas of interest, and his understanding is deeper. When discussing it with his father, although the content is quite "simple", he has been able to understand it thoroughly. After explaining it a few times, it will be automatically understood.
"It's not difficult, it's a beauty machine specially customized for your mother," said An Feng.
"She will be very happy," Fred said.
An Feng asked: "Have you learned this trick?"
Fred nodded, and An Feng hugged his shoulder and smiled. The parents treated boys very differently. They wanted her to be cautious and not to take advantage of the wild boys outside. However, for the boys, they said: While they are young, enrich their feelings more.
...
After dinner, they watched soap opera in the living room.
An Feng doesn't want to watch soap operas... But the two women in the family have 100% "democratic" voting rights, and no matter how busy they work, they will have family time, even if they sit together and quarrel. Now Alice is talking about some proms, where to play after graduation, etc.
An Feng said just one sentence: "Don't take advantage of others."
"I know." She said. "I'm following a group of bodyguards all day long, and they can't even think about it."
"What?" An Feng looked at her.
"Nothing, Dad!" She smiled, "Dad, our family will go to Cabonia during the summer vacation? I heard that there is an F1 motorboat competition."
"You don't like motorboats," said An Feng.
"I want to go." She leaned over, "Well. Some of my friends wanted to go to the artificial island there for a few days to celebrate graduation."
"Male or female?" An Feng asked.
"All of them are girls of the same age as me," she said.
"I'll give you a check in the evening." He said, and Alice reported to him that it was nothing more than a matter of funding for the event.
"I love you so much." She said with a smile.
...
After both children were on holiday, they set off by yacht.
From the sea to Cabonia, it takes about a hundred kilometers of voyages. There are scenery along the way and it is also a popular route for short-distance yachts. There is a famous man-made scenic spot in the area, which is caused by the need to dig military ports and military bases near Cagliari, and the flattened sand is used to build land.
But it is not ordinary artificial land. In a U-shaped bay area outside Cabonia, a huge artificial island occasionally appears. "Occasionally" it is destined to be a movable sea floating city, able to accommodate 100,000 people, and is often carried by tugboats to move around.
Strictly speaking, it is a movable land-making project based on the sea surface.
Land reclamation is widely popular in countries with small areas and is very low in costs - especially Sardinia, which is not cheap and has restricted development. The cost of land reclamation accounts for only one-third of the land. After completion, the price of land sold is higher than that of land.
Sardinia implements strict management in terms of land reclamation, because land reclamation has advantages and disadvantages. Needless to mention the advantages, the disadvantages will cause offshore pollution, death of marine organisms, damage to seaports, affect natural landscapes, etc. At present, only three areas are allowed to be filled on a large scale by the state.
When the yacht arrives, the artificial islands appear.
From the air, it is round, with a diameter of three kilometers, and is made into a undulating petal shape by the designer. It is divided into two areas: sea and under the sea. The sea is full of sunshine and green buildings; while the cylindrical base under the sea, 80% is composed of transparent glass, diving for more than 20 meters.
People can freely switch between "land" and "undersea" life. There are beaches on the land, a large number of coconut trees, and the entire island is surrounded by green. There is a quiet blue under the sea, and the transparent glass can fully appreciate the world under the sea, and the swimming fish are as if they are living in an aquarium.
There are many cooperations, including Anshi Industry's nuclear energy technology, engineering machines, Green Earth's vegetation technology and protection measures to prevent offshore pollution, as well as government supervision. Finally, they can carefully implement their bold maritime dream city planning on it.
It cost 15 billion US dollars in the whole process, and Anfeng invested 50%. The result is obvious that because of creativity and wealth, choosing a carefully decorated sea city and living and traveling in a dream is a great place to enjoy. The island's real estate attracted countless wealthy people.
This is a huge project, with a diameter of three kilometers, which means an area of 14 square kilometers, comparable to the size of a small city! It can accommodate up to 100,000 people, and there are all kinds of facilities for living and entertainment on the island, such as an enlarged version of a cruise ship - except for the inability to travel from the ocean.
The artificial island has three hidden yacht marinas, and countless yachts and sailboats gather. Now it is time to dock and supply, and tourists are constantly coming. Life on the island will never be boring. It has a gymnasium, theater, cinema, golf course, freshwater swimming pool... It has it in normal cities.
What you spend here will be a futuristic life full of creativity and technology.
It is the second only tourist attraction in Sardinia outside the sky garden. During the peak summer tourist season, tourists come from all over the world. The capacity of 100,000 people seems to be a lot, but every journey is full, and people cannot resist this novel creativity.
...
The yacht stopped at Pier 3 and everyone got off the boat. A synthetic female voice sounded in his ears, and the display screen could be seen everywhere above his head. Intelligent voice controls were spread all over every corner, which could provide entertainment, routes and other types of inquiries, and also call convenient electric transportation.
Such a large island is absolutely not possible without transportation.
After docking, they planned their own time. An Feng did not go with the young people, so he wanted to accompany Joanna to the mall. Since she ascended the throne, the number of times she visited the mall has dropped sharply, only a few times a year. It is inconvenient to make public appearances, but there are fewer people here, so she can still keep a low profile.
Joanna said to Alice: "Leave the yacht to you, don't make a fuss."
"Not promise." She nodded, and hugged Fred's shoulder: "I will take good care of him, and many people want to know the little prince."
"I'm not at ease," said Joanna.
"Don't worry, mom," she said, "and promise not to give him alcohol."
Joanna said: "I hope I don't see anything about you in the newspaper tomorrow."
"Sure." She nodded.
"Stop talking, let's go quickly." An Feng pulled Joanna away and turned around and nodded to the children.
Alice gave him a thumbs up and took Fred in the other direction: "Fred, ask you a question, do you mind being kissed by many girls?"
"Ah?" Fred was stunned.
"I don't guarantee that they will have something else to the little prince... but it doesn't seem to be a loss to the boys, right?" she looked at Fred.
Fred looked back at the direction where his parents left, and felt... it was not very good.
