Hearing Hong Qiming's words, Lu Yongchang sighed slightly.

It's so embarrassing to be stuck at this time.

If the mice can be released from the cage in advance, or the election meeting can be held in advance...

But there are no ifs in the world.

Time can only flow forward and never go backwards.

"Yongchang, is there anything you can do?"

Hong Qiming hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice.

"You should know that Albert has been coveting this position for a long time."

"If something happens to the Chairman, I guess the parliament will..."

Lu Yongchang frowned and reached out to gently rub his eyebrows: "There is a way."

"During this period, Mao Zhengzhi and I have been studying technology in this area."

Hong Qiming's eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing became faster.

"Life-span technology?"

"How long can life be extended?"

Looking at Hong Qiming's expectant eyes, Lu Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Failed?" Hong Qiming's face darkened.

"To be precise, I don't know." Lu Yongchang sighed again.

"I won't go into details about the process. In short, we inserted part of the Proxima Centauri gene into E. coli."

"And these E. coli can secrete a special protein we call longevity enzyme, which can repair the lost telomere material of the chromosome."

"This will allow humans to break through the original life span limit."

Hong Qiming: "???"

His eyes were full of confusion, and he said awkwardly: "Um...can you put it more simply?"

"Theoretically, we have succeeded." Lu Yongchang shrugged, "According to preliminary calculations, the maximum life span of humans will be extended to 600-800 years."

"Fuck...fuck?!" Hong Qiming trembled and exclaimed in a low voice, "So long?"

In his expectation, increasing the maximum life span by fifty years was already the limit.

But he never expected that Lu Yongchang's scientific research results would actually increase the maximum life span of human beings to a terrifying level!

While being astonished, Hong Qiming's eyes flashed with joy: "Then, wouldn't the Chairman of the Council be saved?!"

Lu Yongchang shook his head again: "It's not that simple."

"Um?"

Lu Yongchang looked directly into Hong Qiming's confused eyes and explained: "Currently, we have not conducted any animal experiments, and all data only exist in theory."

Hong Qiming's expression instantly dimmed a bit.

He knows what this sentence means.

Without the support of experiments, all this is like a mirror, and no one knows whether this so-called longevity enzyme can play a corresponding role.

"Professor, Councilor Hong, the Council Chairman has woken up."

Zero's avatar appeared next to the two of them and said softly.

After hearing this, Lu Yongchang looked solemn, winked at Hong Qiming, and then walked towards the room of the chairman of the council.

Hong Qiming was not a fool and immediately understood what Lu Yongchang meant.

He slowed down a bit and followed Lu Yongchang into the room.

…

inside the room.

The door of a two-meter-long medical cabin slowly opened.

The white-haired congressman curled up in the huge medical cabin.

Perhaps because of his posture, the congressman's long body looks particularly thin.

Lu Yongchang glanced at the various data displayed on the holographic projection, and his heart became a little heavy again.

It's almost time to wake up.

But he is probably on his deathbed.

Not to mention the election meeting in a month, it’s hard to hold on even for a week!

"cough……"

A faint coughing sound came from the medical cabin.

"Senior Congressman, how do you feel?" Hong Qiming stepped forward quickly, squatted in front of the medical cabin, gently held the congressman's withered and thin right hand with bulging veins, and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing the voice, the congressman's eyelids trembled slightly and he opened them with difficulty.

His cloudy eyes glanced at Hong Qiming beside him.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, the chairman's movements seemed particularly slow.

He didn't even notice Lu Yongchang standing a few steps away.

After a pause, the old man nodded slightly: "Qiming..."

"I'm fine, help me out."

"There are still some tasks to be assigned to you..."

Seeing the old man's frail appearance, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of unbearability.

"President."

he shouted in a low voice.

The old man paused slightly.

Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Lu Yongchang.

Seeing Lu Yongchang, the old man's eyes lit up slightly, but soon dimmed again.

"Yongchang, why are you here?"

"It's a joke for you. It seems like my body won't survive until the end." The old man smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "I guess I will leave you with another mess."

Lu Yongchang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the trembling movements of the chairman of the council.

"No need to comfort me."

"I know my own body well."

"Hong Qiming is a good candidate, but he currently lacks ability."

"I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress those old foxes after I die."

"When the time comes, I hope you can help him then."

After speaking, the old man looked at Lu Yongchang expectantly.

Lu Yongchang pursed his lips hard.

At this moment, he made a choice in his heart.

He shook his head slowly.

"Speaker, I refuse."

"I'm not very good at parliamentary matters."

"It's up to you to teach Congressman Hong yourself!"

The old man sat blankly in the medical cabin, staring blankly at Lu Yongchang.

Obviously, he did not expect Lu Yongchang to reject his request.

Without giving the old man a chance to speak again, he reached out and dragged the holographic projection on the side, adjusting its position.

"Senior Councilor, now, let me introduce to you the latest research results of the Academy of Sciences."

"Eternal Life Enzyme!"

…

Ten minutes later.

The old man was sitting in the medical cabin, breathing slightly and looking at Lu Yongchang.

"What you said is true?"

Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly.
