Chapter 115: Visit Requests from Various Countries

Hearing these words, Luo Lao's expression did not change at all; he calmly said:

"Mr. President, you have made a wise decision. Specific matters will be handled by our foreign affairs department."

After saying that, Luo Lao unilaterally cut off the video call, not even giving Weier a chance to say another word.

This feeling of being completely ignored made Weier's chest feel tight, as if he were about to vomit blood.

But in the end he could only slump helplessly in his chair, awaiting judgment.

…

With Yingjiang Guo's historic compromise, the first batch of stripped-down combat enhancement modules, as well as a much larger quantity of therapeutic eternal essence liquid,

began to flow into the international market as "trade goods."

Of course, obtaining them comes at a huge cost.

Some countries exchanged the operating rights to their ports for the next ten years; some offered their most advanced technical data; Middle Eastern tycoons even paid with ship after ship of oil.

For a time, the world's resources, wealth, and top-tier technology surged toward Yanhuang Guo like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

And within Yanhuang Guo, earth-shaking changes were also taking place.

As the therapeutic eternal essence liquid priced under 100,000 quickly spread nationwide, a peculiar social phenomenon emerged.

Hospitals in major cities, once overcrowded and with appointments hard to come by, became deserted—so empty one could say they were completely vacant.

Except for the occasional patient needing emergency surgery due to an accident,

the formerly busiest departments—internal medicine, oncology, chronic disease—almost entirely lost their purpose.

After all, what illness cannot be solved by a single dose of eternal essence liquid?

The eradication of disease and a qualitative leap in national physical fitness should have been great news.

Yet the chain reaction it triggered was equally violent.

Millions of doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical sales representatives, and R&D staff across the country collectively faced unemployment within a single month.

A once enormous medical industry that provided countless jobs collapsed in the face of more advanced technology.

Voices of concern began to appear in society.

"What do we do now? I studied medicine for eight years, and now you tell me the doctor profession is disappearing?"

"I just bought a school district house with a thirty-year mortgage; now the pharmaceutical company is laying off staff, and I don't know how I'll pay next month's mortgage."

"The government should think of a solution—so many people unemployed will cause serious problems!"

Anxiety online quickly caught the attention of the higher-ups.

In the capital, a meeting room; the atmosphere was not as solemn as outsiders imagined.

"The problem is coming faster than we expected, but it remains within controllable limits."

Zhang Yunfeng reported the latest social dynamics data.

Luo Lao nodded:

"The old cycle has been broken; a new cycle must be built. This is growing pain, and also opportunity."

He looked at Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin, what does our bioengineering field lack most right now?"

Qin Hao immediately replied:

"High-quality professional talent; although the production line's automation level is high,

the core raw material blending, fine-tuning of gene sequences, and R&D of subsequent functional medicines all require a large number of researchers with deep biological and medical backgrounds."

Luo Lao nodded, having already made a decision in his mind.

"Issue my orders."

He looked at the department heads present, his voice resonant and forceful:

"First, under national leadership, jointly with major biotech companies, establish a National Medical Personnel Transition Center.

All laid-off medical staff can participate in free three-month transition training.

The training content will be our latest biological genetic engineering technology."

"Second, all personnel who complete training and pass assessment will be guaranteed 100% employment by the state.

They will be assigned to newly built biological industrial parks nationwide, becoming the cornerstone of the new medical system. Salaries will only be higher, never lower!"

"Third, immediately launch the National Health Security Plan. We will select a batch of outstanding individuals from these transition personnel to form a Community Health Advisory Team.

Their work will no longer be treating illness, but providing each family with health counseling, genetic risk screening, and scientific lifestyle guidance.

Their salaries will be directly disbursed by the national treasury!"

…

A series of policies were issued swiftly and decisively, like a shot of adrenaline, instantly steadying everyone's hearts.

Those medical staff who had been anxious about their futures, upon seeing the state's generous conditions and clear future plans, turned all anxiety into excitement and anticipation.

They threw away their stethoscopes, laid down their scalpels, and resolutely stepped into the transition training center.

Here, they will shift from healers of the old era's diseases to guardians of the new era's life!

Just as domestic society stabilized and everyone assumed life would continue healthily and happily,

Half a month later, the National News Center spokesperson Han Ge appeared again before the global camera.

This time, he brought news that would drive all Yanhuang descendants utterly mad.

"Fellow compatriots, hello. Here, I am honored to announce that after our researchers' day-and-night efforts, mass production is now possible."

Boom!

As these words were spoken, the entire Yanhuang Guo, regardless of age or gender, felt as if their brains had been struck by a wave of happiness, instantly going blank.

Han Ge's tone also carried a hint of excitement:

"After deliberation, we will officially open pre-orders for domestic citizens, each unit priced uniformly at 500,000, with subsequent prices gradually decreasing.

It can extend lifespan to 150 years; considering the medicine's powerful effect, we recommend prioritizing purchase for elderly family members."

Foreign market, temporarily not open.

This news instantly stirred up a huge wave.

In a high-end office building, a department manager named Li Zhe, upon seeing the news, suddenly stood up from his seat, knocking over his chair.

He completely ignored the shocked gazes of his coworkers, trembling as he took out his phone and dialed home.

"Mom, have you seen the news? The longevity drug is already available for purchase, only 500,000!"

"I have money, I have 600,000 in my card, I'll order it right away; you must wait, wait to hold a grandson!"

On the other end of the phone came the old man's choked voice:

"Son, how much does it cost? Don't spend it, Dad has broken even in this lifetime..."

"Not enough! Not enough! You've worked hard for me all your life and haven't enjoyed happiness yet! This money I spend is worth it."

Li Zhe, on the phone, tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.

Elsewhere, in an ordinary working-class family.

The couple watched TV in silence for a long time.

The wife spoke:

"My mom is seventy-two this year, she's quite old. Honey, let's take out the down payment we prepared for our son's wedding home first?"

The man hesitated not at all, nodding heavily:

"Of course. If we lose the house we can earn it back, but if we lose Mom, she's truly gone."

Similar scenes keep unfolding in every corner of Yanhuang Guo.

Five hundred thousand is a huge sum for many families.

But in the face of decades, or even longer, of healthy lifespan, it seems utterly insignificant.

"Filial piety,"

This ancient belief, rooted in the bloodline, at this moment burst forth with the greatest power.

Meanwhile, abroad was a scene of wailing and despair.

"Why! How can they buy lifespan while we can only watch?"

"What are our superiors doing? Is this the beautiful future you promised us?"

"I'm willing to pay ten times, a hundred times the price! Please, sell me one!"

The high-ranking officials of countries worldwide only felt their scalps about to explode.

The public's anger, the tycoons' pressure, and their own deep-seated longing for longevity—like three great mountains—pressed down on them until they could barely breathe.

They knew they could wait no longer.

Thus, on the day after Yanhuang Guo announced the opening of pre-orders for the longevity elixir...

Yingjiang Guo, Island Country, Great Britain, Gaul rooster...

Almost at the same time, they submitted a request for a state visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Yanhuang Guo.

Their purpose was only one.

Come buy the medicine!
