Chapter 725

"Mm, go ahead and do it, but before you go, decide where you'll be buried."

"The situation we're facing right now is touch-and-go; let's talk about these things after we make it out."

"Don't forget, this time we're looking for the Snake-Browed Bronze Fish!"

"These two things don't conflict. The purpose of the archaeological team is exploration and development. Maybe taking this thing out will help us find the secret of immortality."

"Isn't this related to genes?"

"Nice idea. Just remember to keep that in mind in your next life."

The crowd buzzed with chatter, and at this moment the people inside the venue turned and asked Zhang Lin directly.

"Mr. Zhang, can what this fatty just said actually work? If we take this thing..."

Zhang Lin didn't let him finish, just waved his hand and said: "Just daydream. It's not realistic. Besides, the genes of these sea monkeys have basically already mutated."

"You won't find anything suitable on them, which means you can't extract the kind of immortality genes you're thinking of."

"And at this level of genetic mutation, if you just casually run experiments, it could easily trigger other reactions."

Zhang Lin didn't continue to elaborate. He believed these people, after letting their imaginations run wild, would arrive at a relatively imprecise answer on their own.

But basically, the direction should be correct.

Wang Canghai back then was conducting cross-species research—from monkeys all the way to the end of things.

It must have caused small-scale chaos at the time, but with Wang Canghai's status, and more importantly, the support of his powerful backing—

No matter which emperor or ruler, or the monarch of some small nation backed him, any chaos caused by his research could be quelled immediately.

Although that's possible now too, if this thing falls into the eyes of an ambitious person, there will definitely be no good outcome!

Take the Wang family, for example. They're probably obsessed with immortality too.

While the seabed squad was resting, Zhang Lin didn't open another book either. He knew that the books from before today probably couldn't be discussed anymore.

Because he knew the things the seabed squad would face didn't end there.

The second archaeological team was also at the threshold of breakthrough, and all of this might come one after another.

Even if he opened a book now, these people's attention would be drawn to the livestreams from those two sides.

The seabed squad was already approaching Wang Canghai's main tomb, and the second archaeological team was about to find the Ancient City of Jingjue.

Everything that followed would need Zhang Lin to narrate.

Seizing the moment, Zhang Lin said directly: "Are you simply interested in immortality? Or do you think immortality is a good thing?"

Everyone was stunned by the question. He hadn't asked it on a sudden whim.

Whether it was Wang Canghai's undersea tomb now, or Tiangong in the clouds later—

Everything involved the question of immortality. Zhang Lin felt it necessary to say this, or rather, to use a question to let these people understand that immortality is actually not a good thing!

Because immortality may not bring you anything; rather, you lose far more than you gain.

And he wasn't just saying this for the people at the New Moon Restaurant. The key was that among the viewers in the livestream, there were surely people with this kind of mindset.

Some even came specifically to watch the undersea livestream.

Precisely because of this, everything that had happened before had been deliberately orchestrated by these people.

So under this premise, Zhang Lincai Society would ask this question.

And after hearing this, no one knew how to answer.

They instinctively thought, isn't immortality a good thing?

At this moment, someone spoke the words in their heart.

"Mr. Zhang, isn't living forever a good thing? Otherwise, why have emperors throughout the ages pursued it so relentlessly?"

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly and said: "That's because they didn't want to lose the power in their hands."

"They lived differently from normal people. They could ignore their family, friends, everything. Actually, if you think about it, Wang Canghai makes it clear."

"I can't predict exactly what kind of person he was, but look at what he did. I think the barrage in the livestream must be constantly criticizing this very thing."

"Under this premise, such a person has already lost his humanity. His only purpose in living was to control more power, control more people, control their thoughts. This can be compared to the Queen of Jingjue."

"Every emperor may have thought about immortality, especially the monarchs of small nations. But ordinary people, especially in that era, didn't even dare to think about it."
