Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 344 - 225: The Pride of the Whole World

Chapter 344: Chapter 225: The Pride of the Whole World

On the afternoon of October 11 at 2 PM, Multimedia Classroom No. 6 at Normal University in Magic City.

Forty-two top scientists from around the world gathered together, among them, thirteen were Nobel Prize laureates!

However, the Multimedia Classroom wasn’t occupied by just the forty-two scientific luminaries. In the front-row corner, next to Haraldson, the chief scientist from Germany, stood Tang Tang, known as the most beautiful “campus belle” since the founding of Normal University.

Next to the door of the Multimedia Classroom, three breathtakingly beautiful women stood as well. Each had a beauty that could score over ninety-six points, among them Liang Bing, the manager of the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden and responsible for managing all the top scientists of the Longevity Club, even had a heaven-defying beauty score of ninety-eight points.

Standing beside Liang Bing was her personal secretary Xia Xue, and Qiu Shui, who was about to set off to expand her markets in Dubai.

At this moment, the collective gaze of everyone, including the forty-two top scientists and the four stunning beauties, was entirely focused on the young figure on the stage.

The youth, with a pair of golden sunglasses perched on his nose, was elegant and cultured. He was dressed in a tailored suit, a light blue bow tie around his neck, and a top-tier wristwatch on his left wrist that seemed to reflect a faint light under the room’s illumination.

Sweeping his gaze across the room, the young man’s steady and forceful voice echoed throughout the classroom.

“Ladies and gentlemen, in primitive societies, due to human vulnerability against natural disasters, diseases, and wild beast attacks, the average human lifespan was 15 years. Before the Common Era, it was only 20 years, and it was only 25 years in ancient times. Even by the turn of the century, the average human lifespan was no more than 40 years.”

In the Multimedia Classroom, the forty-two people seated were all top-notch powerhouses, and the four women on the sides were equally of peerless beauty.

Despite the impressive assembly surrounding him, the young man on the stage did not lose his luster in the slightest.

His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, his bronze skin displayed a healthy physique, and beneath the golden glasses, those dazzling black eyes seemed as if they could see through past and future lives, stern like cold stars when he was somber.

“In 1700, the average human lifespan was 35 years, and by 1800 it was 37 years. It can be seen that between 1700 and 1800, there was little growth in human lifespan because although humans could avoid wild beasts and other disasters by then, due to the low level of technology, difficult lives, and the lack of effective treatments for diseases.

It wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that human lifespan saw a leap, rising from 40 to 61 years! By 1985, the global average human lifespan had reached 62 years.”

The young man with the straight nose had a profile that was sharply defined, cutting a silhouette of both angularity and softness. His voice was steady and solemn—and as he spoke softly, he instantly attracted the gaze of everyone present.

At the side of the wheelchair-bound elder, Tang Tang, Magic City Normal University’s number one “campus belle,” had her starry eyes wide open as she stared unblinkingly at the handsome young man on the stage, her eyes filled with disbelief.

In the Multimedia Classroom, most of the forty-two top scientists had already put on translation earpieces to make sure they could comprehend the young man’s words. It was at this moment that Tang Tang suddenly felt her mobile phone vibrate in her pocket.

She was shocked and immediately took the phone out of her pocket. She was relieved that her phone was always set to vibrate because she didn’t dare to imagine the horror that would have ensued had her ringtone gone off in such a solemn and serious occasion.

Luckily, Tang Tang stood in the most secluded corner, so her slight movement went unnoticed. When she took out her mobile phone, she discovered that the notification was because someone had replied to her earlier social media post.

She opened her phone, went to the social media app, and found that under the photo she had just posted, there was an additional comment!

The photo shared in her post captured the profile of a Caucasian middle-aged man standing by her side. Previously, Tang Tang thought the man looked familiar but couldn’t recall his identity at the moment, so she had asked her social media circle for answers. Now, beneath the photo, the comments had revealed who he was!

“Isn’t that Fleming? The top-tier big shot who was rated as one of the six greatest scientists in the world by scientific journals!”

In a sudden realization, Tang Tang’s gaze involuntarily swept over the Caucasian middle-aged man beside her. Her face turned slightly red, and her eyes were filled with intense admiration and excitement.

The man before her was indeed one of the six greatest scientists in the world today, on the same ultimate level as Einstein, Galileo, and Newton!

It wasn’t from magazines or newspapers at the roadside stands where she had seen him, but in her high school textbooks where she had come across his portrait!

No wonder she had always felt he looked familiar—it turned out he was a big shot included in school textbooks!

When her phone vibrated again, the middle-aged man nearest to her gave Tang Tang a faint glance. His light blue eyes held not a trace of emotion, yet, just that one look from him made Tang Tang feel as if her blood was running in reverse.

Her breathing became rapid in an instant, and she felt as if the world was spinning around her.

After a moment, when Tang Tang came back to her senses, she immediately turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket. Then she sneakily cast another glance at the ultimate big shot beside her. She saw the middle-aged man concentrating fully on the direction of the podium and let out a small sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart!

At that moment, as Tang Tang relaxed her mind and refocused her gaze on the podium, she saw that the handsome young man who was the center of everyone’s attention in the front row was now looking at her. He blinked at her gently, a faint smile seeming to play at the corners of his eyes!

Then, taking a deep breath, the young man, now looking exceptionally serious, said aloud:

“At the beginning of the 20th century, human life expectancy made a leap from 40 years to 61 years. In 1985, the average global life expectancy reached 62 years. The average life expectancy of the world’s population is set to grow at roughly one year for every five years henceforth.

From 1995 to 2000, the average global life expectancy reached 63.9 years; from 2000 to 2005, it reached 65.5 years.

From 2005 to 2010, the average global life expectancy reached 66.8 years; and from 2010 to 2015, it reached 68.1 years.

From 2015 to 2020, the average global life expectancy reached 69.3 years.

If there are no accidents, following the normal developmental trajectory of humankind, from 2020 to 2025, the average global human life expectancy will surpass 70 years—this is the situation that would occur without major external interventions!

However, this history will be rewritten today by all of us seated here!”

As his calm words fell, Chu Mo, with slightly uplifted head and piercing eyes, swept his gaze over the entire audience. His gaze did not linger on any individual, yet everyone could feel his expectation and eagerness!

After a deep breath, with a gleam in his eyes, Chu Mo spoke with a resonant voice:

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

“Within the next year, the Longevity Club will sequentially invest one trillion in funding; over the next ten years, the total investment will be no less than five trillion, dedicated to researching the mysteries of human lifespan. I hope that within ten years, the average human lifespan can increase from the current seventy years to eighty, ninety, or even a hundred years!

This is not a dream, nor is it an unattainable wish. With our combined efforts, I am fully confident that, in the not-too-distant future, all the people of the world will take pride in what we have achieved!”
