I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 429 - 288: Advancing and Lifespan_2
Chapter 429: Chapter 288: Advancing and Lifespan_2

I swear, I’ll never get distracted again.
With a pleasant mood, even when singing in the recording studio, Ward Owen’s performance was much better.
When Harrison Clark returned to the chairman’s office, Rainer and Chris Owen
had been waiting for a long time.
Before talking business, Chris Owen said somewhat apologetically, “Mr. Clark, my good-for-nothing son has been bothering you lately. I’ll teach him a lesson when I get home.”
Harrison Clark waved his hand, “It’s alright, he meant well. But I told him to focus on singing from now on, it’s better for him.”
Chris Owen still didn’t give up, “Is his ability to manage a company really that
bad?”
Harrison Clark’s heart clenched.
This old handsome guy hasn’t given up yet!
He actually still wants to pull Ward Owen back to lead the Whale Group, this guy is too stubborn.
Now that the Whale Group is also an important partner for him, whether for the sake of civilization or for himself, he has to resolutely eliminate Chris Owen’s suicidal thoughts.
Harrison Clark sighed deeply, “Mr. Owen, it’s not that I want to criticize you. You’re still in such great shape that you can lead the Whale Group for decades.
Why are you in such a hurry to find a successor?
“Besides, Ward Owen is truly talented in singing. He could even make a name in history. Since he likes it and he’s capable of it, if you really want to do what’s best for him and be responsible to the society, you should let him fly. With my guidance, he will soar as high as he can. The music world needs him, and so does the art of music.”
If it was in the past, Chris Owen would definitely sneer at a young man like
Harrison Clark talking to him like this. freewebnøvel.com
But Harrison Clark has now proven his accomplishments in art, and his words
have weight in the music industry.
His judgment is authoritative.
After a long period of contemplation, Chris Owen gradually became convinced,
“Is he really that talented?”
Harrison Clark nodded, resolute, “Yes. Besides, the reason why I chose Whale Group as a partner was not because of the company itself, but because of you, Mr. Owen. So as long as you’re in power for one day, don’t bring up the matter of letting Ward Owen take over.”
Chris Owen reluctantly accepted, “Alright, it’s just that he’s my only son, and I’m always worried that if one day my health suddenly fails, I won’t have time to prepare him well enough.”
This was Chris Owen’s contradiction. He had a strong sense of social responsibility, but he also had his own selfishness.
No one can escape this trap.
Speaking without intention, the listener is moved.
Out of the blue, Harrison Clark recalled that aside from Chris Owen being lucky to get cancer-specific drugs in the previous timeline, he had been diagnosed with various incurable diseases at around seventy years old in many other timelines, becoming a terrible example of human tragedy.
Poor Mr. Owen couldn’t save himself with all his money.
What if he gets something other than cancer, like amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis?
What to do?
The cure for ALS will not be found until around 2100, and Chris Owen certainly won’t be able to wait that long.
Would the Whale Group, which made huge contributions in the previous timeline, suffer another devastating blow?
Rainer began to discuss the main issue, “Harrison Clark, what exactly are these ultra-pure carbon monomers, unlimited cycle batteries, and microwave power transmission you proposed in the United States?”
Harrison Clark raised his hand, “Wait a minute, I have some new ideas. Maybe… I need to add a few medical-related projects. Don’t bother me for now, let me think carefully.”
Both Rainer and Chris were puzzled, but considering the unconventional thinking patterns of their colleague, they quickly left the room, thinking that he might have some amazing ideas. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Harrison Clark really began to support his chin with one hand, carefully
pondering.
He had always focused on energy and materials as the main attack direction, breaking through difficult positions point by point, and using the two major pillar industries to drive other industries to move forward in collaboration. Both steady and aggressive, his outstanding achievements could be seen with the naked eye.
The facts proved that his strategy was completely correct.The past success has a considerable degree of deception, so much so that Harrison Clark’s thinking has been unconsciously limited within it.
That’s fine, I’ll keep doing this, and I can be meritorious and blameless. In psychology, this is the comfort zone that everyone will unconsciously fall into.
The difficulty of actively controlling one’s thinking to break out of the comfort zone is essentially no different from confronting life and death.
Harrison Clark, despite his strength, is still human and has fallen into the comfort zone.
This time, because of Star, he thought of going a step further in the direction of artificial intelligence, taking out the complete framework of the quantum computer programming concept in advance, actively pushing it forward to ensure the preconditions for the birth of Star.
Now, seeing the essence of human terminators like Chris Owen, and thinking back to the temporarily rejected medical master Lamont-Nigel Ramsey who pledged allegiance to himself, his thinking was opened up again.
He realized.
Lengthening the lives of people like Chris Owen undoubtedly has a positive effect on civilization.
For example, himself, Rainer, Carrie Thomas, and Eilen Elvin who once awakened in the later years…
Without mentioning the Quark Therapy Device, if I had a molecular or even amino acid macromolecule treatment device, I wouldn’t have died prematurely from overwork and could have lived over 200 years, lingering for another hundred years and doing so much more. What else could I do?
If other people could also live for more than a hundred years in good mental health, what would the times be like?
in primitive society, the average human lifespan was 15 years, and living was an endless challenge in the face of threats from natural disasters, diseases, and animal attacks.
Before 1700 AD, the average human lifespan was only 20 years.
By 1700 AD, the average human lifespan was 35 years.
By 1800 AD, the average human lifespan was 37 years.
When the history of civilization entered the twentieth century, human lifespan underwent explosive growth, with the average lifespan rising rapidly from 40 to 61 years.
Between 2015 and 2020, the global average lifespan was 69.3 years.
Upon closer observation, it is not hard to find that, with the rapid progress of technology, the fundamental factor for the rapid growth of human lifespan after breaking through 60 years old lies in the improvement of health conditions, the innovation of medical technology, and other preconditions.
This is an inevitable part of historical development and the need for civilization to advance.
However, the extension of life is one of the preconditions for the progress of science and technology. They complement and assist each other.
The three words “live long” are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The essential meaning is that longevity is conducive to the continuous accumulation of knowledge in the individual.
Numerous more superior individual intelligences gathered together form a vast collective intelligence that serves as a guiding light on the path to advancing civilization.
Leaving aside previous eras, the twentieth century saw scholars’ achievements explode, usually between the ages of thirty and sixty.
Except for a few exceptional talents who transcended their times and maintained their long-term health, the research level and inspiration of most scholars declined sharply after they entered old age and passed the age of sixty. As people age, their physiological functions continue to decline, various diseases quietly appear and become permanent. It not only torments the body but also harms the mind and thinking, scholars engaged in creative work suffer the most.
The continuous decline of the body, the increasing unknown fear of death, and the growing reluctance to let go of life cause scholars’ originally sharp thinking to become dull, and their once-perfect memory to fade away.
It takes immense willpower to be great enough to still lead and guide a research project forward before death, and in one’s dying words, explain the thoughts that can guide successors in continuing their work, emitting the last ray of light in their life.
Ultimately, few people can do this.
Those who can lead the times when they are young are even rarer and can be counted on one’s fingers.
Most scholars have painstakingly studied their entire lives, going through the stages of entry, proficiency, mastery, integration, and achievement, but by the time they reach their sixties or seventies, they are already half-buried in the ground.
Old people, unwilling to accept the fact as they may be, have to face the damage caused by slow thinking and memory decline, watching their precious lifelong knowledge slip through their fingers.
This objective law will greatly hinder the speed of human progress. In the many timelines Harrison Clark created in the past, except for the irregularities of the twenty-first century, almost every time there was an overall technological explosion, there was to some extent a step forward in biotechnology and medical technology, or an awakening of the overall genetic level of the race, bringing about better gene traits for delaying aging..
