Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Star Sky Technology and Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, thanks to neural access virtual reality technology, have once again become the focus of the world's attention.

As a general rule, the Ark, a corporation of Star Sky Technology and Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, should stand in front of the camera even if it does not hold a press conference at this time to respond to the expectations of the public, and spread the fear of this new technology among those who are full of nothing to do.

But at this moment, instead of being at the press conference or under some spotlight, he stood quietly in a room.

This ward has a special name, and its name is Frozen Sleeping.

In addition to the first frozen person, he has been lying here for six months in a variety of ways, progressively transferring terminally ill patients.

The cost of frozen dormancy is relatively low compared to costly ICUs.

Except for the slightly more expensive extraction of Mars bacteria from the Moon, the electricity to keep the dormant device running is not expensive.

Of course, it's not expensive, it's just relative to other treatments.

Right next to the “bed” not far from the ark, stands a woman who is also visiting here.

Depending on her age, the woman was about forty or fifty years old, and her right hand held a boy about fifty or six years old, and the fishtail pattern at the corner of her eye revealed heartbreaking tears.

Want to freeze in there, probably her husband. The child standing next to him was silent, knowledgeable though he could understand.

Noting that the same boat was standing here, the woman's face was shocked and seemed to recognize him.

After a moment of hesitation, she walked up with her son's hand and asked carefully.

“Hello, are you… Master Lu? ”

The ark was silent for a while and nodded.

“Yes.”

“… thank you. ”

Looking at the woman thanking herself, the ark shook her head, saying.

“I'm not a doctor, you don't have to thank me. ”

“It was the doctor who told us that you saved him… and saved us. ”

Seeing as if she had something to say, the Ark did not speak, just looked at her and waited quietly for her to continue.

“We are... actually out of money,” the woman's face showed a bitter look, seemed to recall something that had happened a while ago, crushing and thinking, "To cure the child's father, we sold the house and spent almost all of our savings, but we couldn't survive. Just a few months ago, the child's father told me not to treat him if he couldn't, save some for the child, but how could I...”

Lips and shoulders trembled and the woman's voice swallowed a little. Seems to be drinking a bitter drink, she took a deep breath and finally squeezed a slight smile on her face.

“It feels so much better to say… Anyway, thank you… thank you so much! ”

“… anyway, just as long as he's alive. ”

“I'm going to take Happy home to school, which is probably the last time I'm going to see him. The doctor said the hospital over there will definitely cure him, I'll believe it... I wish he was safe there in the future, I hope he can smoke less, don't work so hard, remember to eat breakfast on time, don't miss me too much..."

Seems to realize that she is nagging some boring trivial things about strangers, and she has an embarrassing look on her face, tearing off her son's hand, and covering up her awkward remarks.

“… say thank you to your uncle. ”

The little boy blinked his naive big eyes, stared at the ark and said frighteningly.

“Thank you, uncle. ”

Rarely did younger children call themselves uncles, and the ark suddenly laughed and rubbed his hair with his hands.

“I have nothing to be thankful for, you really should be thanking someone beside you, and remember to take care of her for your father. ”

The boy looked up at the ark and said, "Where's my father? Can he still wake up? ”

“… it's up to you. ”

Watching the boy nodded as if he didn't understand the location, the ark gave him an encouraging look and then retracted his right hand.

The mother and son said goodbye to him and turned away.

However, as she walked to the door, the woman suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to the ark, then quickly left with her son.

Far away, in the corridor outside the department, came the sound of a mother and son conversation.

“Mom... who is that uncle? ”

“Is a scientist. ”

“Scientist? Well, I want to be a scientist too...”

The sound grew farther away, disappearing together at the end of the corridor as the footsteps moved farther away.

The heavily mooded ark sighed softly and retracted its gaze from the door.

He doesn't really like places like wards.

Just standing here, he can read that unspeakable sadness from this heavy air.

After waiting quietly for a long time, the sound of footsteps finally came from behind.

Looking back at the doctor who appeared at the door, he said.

“What are the test results? ”

“… here. ”

After receiving the medical report from the doctor, the ark took a quick glance and a glimmer of disappointment appeared on his face.

While it was clear to him from the outset that it was mostly a luxury to expect people in the cryo-dormant compartment to sleep while connecting to virtual reality through unconsciously disseminated EEG waves, his mood fell to the bottom when the report presented itself to him.

Unless you thaw half the brain.

But this is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

Looking at the ark that solidified its gaze on the report, the doctor asked, "Do you want me to read it for you? ”

“… no need.” I took a deep breath with my nose, and the ark stacked the medical report in my pocket, "I've got the general picture and I'm in trouble for you. ”

“Where,” the doctor laughed, "by the time we should thank you, that cryo-dormant technique, and the neuro-accessible mechanical prosthetic, has saved the lives of younger families. ”

“Really?”

There was no positive response to that sentence, just an unavoidable response. The ark moved its gaze away from the doctor's face and looked at the dormant compartment not far away.

The frost that reflects on the glass is like a thin mist, separated not only by space, but also by time.

The doctor's expression on his face was a bit unfortunate and he sighed softly.

“Do you need a moment alone? ”

“… hmm. ”

The doctor nodded, not saying anything, and turned away from the door.

With the doctor's departure, there was only one man left in the entire department.

Looking at the stable operating dormant compartment, the ark was silent for a while and suddenly opened its mouth.

“I came to see you. ”

“The next topic is the unification of algebra and geometry… I've actually got some ideas. ”

The throat twisted and the ark shook its head with a smile after what it had intended to say.

“Forget it...”

“Even if I read my thoughts to you now, you wouldn't hear me. ”

“I'd better leave this suspension in a century. ”

“When you get there, you'll see my paper. As my proudest doorman, I believe that with your wisdom, even if no one tells you, you can understand what I'm trying to say. ”

He stayed in the ward for a long time until the shifting nurse routinely checked the operation of the dormant compartment before turning around and leaving.

……

After leaving the hospital, the ark boarded Wang Peng's car at the door.

The cigarette butt was extinguished and Wang Peng skillfully started the car.

“To where? ”

“Airport.”

“Back to Jinling? ”

“Mmm.”

I was going to stay in Shanghai for two days, while visiting an old friend here, but suddenly I was not in the mood, so I went back to shut down.

Most of his old friends knew, anyway, that he was not the kind of person who liked proactive contact, and no one would blame him if he didn't go through the door.

The car went on the highway and neither of them had much communication along the way.

It seemed that the atmosphere was a little dull, and Wang Peng spoke voluntarily.

“Seems to be talking about you online, and that virtual reality technology. ”

“Mmm.”

“Don't you seem very interested? ”

“Interested, just not in the mood right now. ”

At this point, the phone rang.

Remove the phone, sweep the name on the call display, the ark couldn't help but wrinkle its eyebrows.

Normally, he doesn't mind talking to someone he doesn't know very well, but now he's really not in the mood. Besides, when he was in the hospital, he hung up on me once, and I didn't expect to hear from him again.

As if to see the expression on his face, the telephone ringtone was instantly cut off and there was no sign of any further calls.

Wang Peng looked in the rear view mirror and asked.

“Are you okay if I don't take it? ”

“It's okay," he threw his phone aside, and the ark said casually, "it's not an important role anyway. ”
