Chapter 35: The Science Maniac Who Got Caught in the Horns
Everyone's pursuits are different.
Now Su Beidou just wants to return to the earth alive and enjoy happiness.
His father, Su Baichuan, hopes that the husband and wife will have a happy life, that his son will grow up healthily, and that he will achieve his life goals.
As for Old Man Su, he hopes that his children and grandchildren will be happy and the world will be peaceful, and then he can let go of everything in his hands and pursue a plain and comfortable life. At his age, at this height, what he wanted to have had had it as early as when he was young, and there was a sense of returning to the basics.
Look at Chen Dafeng again.
Since returning to Earth and being admitted to a nursing home, I have been lying down for two years, and my recovery has been relatively slow, and now I can walk slowly like a normal person.
From time to time, he left his room and walked around the nearby golf course, he didn't have many friends, and there were very few guests who came to visit him, as if he had been forgotten.
In the eyes of the nurses in the rehabilitation and nursing home, he is more laid-back than the elderly.
He would watch the news from the morning, maintain a certain comfortable position, and not come back to his senses until lunchtime, like a weirdo.
He is not handsome in appearance, and his only advantage is that he has been on Mars and has been on Mars for more than ten years.
It's not that there are no nurses who want to take shortcuts, and they beg to climb up to such a nerd who has fallen to the top early, but unfortunately they are all regarded as air by this "blind eye".
Chen Dafeng is very kind to everyone, but he is so cold that he rejects people thousands of miles away.
So until now, I am still alone, as if I don't have the mind to do this at all, and I really live a retirement life.
Judging from the temperament on his face recently, even if Su Beidou stood in front of Chen Dafeng, he would feel that such a cold old Chen was very unfamiliar.
There's not so much nonsense, rarely shows a smile, and more often just stays alone, not knowing what to think, as if he's changed his personality.
Let's talk about why.
may be because Chen Dafeng knows that he doesn't have much time, so he is too lazy to waste his life on socializing.
Today, knowing that Su Beidou successfully boarded the God of War transport ship and began to prepare for returning to Earth, this middle-aged man who witnessed the little guy grow up finally had a little smile.
Su Beidou, who lives on Mars, is one of the few people who makes Chen Dafeng find interesting, and it can also be said to be a research object, so he pays more attention to it.
It's not that he did an experiment on Su Beidou, but just to record the growth of a Martian baby, which can make him happy, the first time someone has done this in human history, it can give Chen Dafeng a sense of achievement.
As early as the age of fourteen, his father suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and after the onset of the disease, he gradually became a monster who only burned all day long.
Later, he cut his wrists in front of Chen Dafeng, closed his eyes and cried and told Chen Dafeng that he would also get this disease, Chen Dafeng never told anyone about it, but he would recall it several times a day.
Knowing that it might be inherited, when I grew up, out of worry, I learned the neurological and genetic branches of medicine.
It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I checked my genome and found that it was over, and one day in the future, there was indeed a high probability that I would get the same disease as my father and grandfather.
It was an accident to enter the God of War Mars Exploration Company by accident.
Chen Dafeng originally planned to be in the limelight for a year or two before he was paralyzed, but he didn't expect to be selected, probably because people didn't believe that he could really successfully send people to Mars, and there were not many competitors at that time, and he had a postdoctoral degree in genetic engineering, and he also understood the field of biology, which was quite advantageous.
Just hid the news that he might get sick at any time, and became the first lander on Mars, no different from normal people, he also made friends and was cheerful and lively.
The research on the nerve branch in medicine has been progressing extremely slowly, and there are occasional knee-jerk convulsions, which are well hidden by Chen Dafeng, knowing that there is little hope of a successful cure, and I have wondered if I will just die on Mars.
Later, God played a joke on him.
Just ten years ago, before Su Beidou was born, Chen Dafeng collected some kind of life sample from the ground during an operation with the team, but the boss at that time felt that he was contaminated by them, and laughed at him fiercely.
Chen Dafeng, who did not believe in evil, was angry and took it back to the laboratory to study it himself.
I also wondered if it was a sample collection, or it was artificially contaminated in the laboratory, and later the experiments on the mice proved that he didn't think too much, and he did find an incredible extraterrestrial lifeform.
No one knew that the guinea pig that he had isolated for research had violated the laws of nature and lived until the day before Chen Dafeng returned to Earth, when he disposed of it with his own hands.
Moreover, the physiological functions of the mouse were still very young at that time, but there was no way to hide it from others and bring it back to Earth, so it was harmless to ensure that there were no mistakes, and then returned to Earth with peace of mind.
According to the normal life expectancy, ordinary mice can only live to about one and a half years old, and they are still young after living for more than ten years, which is obviously abnormal.
A sample is nothing, Chen Dafeng chooses a sample every quarter and injects a strange lifeform into the guinea pig.
After long-term observation, the results are surprisingly consistent, it can indeed delay the aging rate of cells, even if the wound is deliberately made in the mice, it will heal in a very short time.
It's not that I didn't think about reporting the results of the research to the company, but I concealed it out of worry, fearing that all the experimental samples would be forcibly destroyed.
In those years, strange lifeforms have only been collected once, and it is difficult to find them again.
He felt that this was an opportunity for him to regain his health, and it was likely that the entire human race would also benefit from it, extending his life span to three hundred years, or even more than five hundred years.
So far, no one except Chen Dafeng himself knows about this at all.
And he is at the bedside of the sanatorium, and now he has a hamster.
Counting the time, it has been almost two years.
As the symptoms worsened, Chen Dafeng, who had been hesitating for a long time, gradually had an idea in his mind that had been brewing for several years......
***************
The days of waiting are always long, and looking back, they pass quite quickly.
Every time he thinks that he is sailing from planet to planet, Su Beidou always thinks that this feeling is wonderful.
More than four months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the earth has become very large, a wonderful blue planet, covered with white things, this is the living environment he dreamed of, looking forward to breathing freely without wearing a helmet.
As for Mars, except for the blood-stained superconductor mine and the acquaintances in the base, Su Beidou doesn't feel that there is anything worth nostalgic, and he wishes not to return to that ghost place in this life.
After more than four months of suffering, with the change of living environment, I have been sick, my heart has also had problems, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body, and I am still alive until now, which is already worth celebrating, after the increase in muscle density, my weight has skyrocketed by more than three kilograms.
After approaching the earth, it is difficult to dispel the urgency, and I wish I could be down-to-earth immediately......
