Chapter 492: Super Frost Resistance
Of course, the little ones sitting in the stroller not far away didn't know how cold the ice water was, and when they saw the splash of ice particles in the sun, they laughed happily.
While laughing, they also slapped the plastic buttons on the front of the stroller, making various sounds of beeping and knocking, but unfortunately they did not seem to inherit their father's "musical talent", and the improvised sound can only be said to be not too unpleasant noise.
For Sesame Cookies, he didn't inherit his talent that was so strong that he was against the sky, Atletico naturally knew the reason, his so-called talents were actually the effects brought by e7u, and the little guys didn't have this thing, so they could only be ordinary people. Originally, he had the opportunity to make them super babies, but at the last moment, he gave up on genetics, and only roughly checked the sesame cookies with conventional genetic diseases.
For the result that the children of geniuses are just ordinary people, Tang Jiayi was a little depressed at first, but fortunately, she was quickly relieved. After all, her professional knowledge allows her to know that all kinds of uncertainties in the transmission of genetic information are the driving force behind today's complex biosphere, and such an unusual number as Atletico Madrid must be sure that it can only be a special miracle produced after countless accidental coincidences, and it is a pity that those special abilities have not been inherited, but it is already a very happy thing that they have not gotten worse.
Besides, with their future net worth, as long as they don't grow angry and resentful, and behave inexplicably, no matter where they go in adulthood, there will be people shouting "Husband marry me!" and "Wife marry me!"
This is very likely to be realized, at least the previous medical examination has proved that the babies at least currently have no annoying known genetic diseases, such as rabbit lip conjoined or something, this is already a good result, and other things Tang Jiayi has long been not forced, after all, the risk of multiple births is extremely high, and it is already very good for them to be able to give birth to them safely and healthily.
Although Siamese babies are more famous, the actual incidence is even lower, only 1 in 200,000, and the reason why they are famous is just the result of everyone's selective attention, in fact, most people will never see a case in reality in their lifetime.
Even if it is relatively more common, with an incidence of about 1 in 1,000 rabbit lips, many people only know about it because the queen of the music world gave birth to a daughter with congenital rabbit lips, just like many people only know about leukemia and rh-negative blood after watching modern urban dramas.
Similarly, because of the relationship with the children of the diva, the popularity of this disease has increased significantly.
Speaking of which, what Atletico Madrid and the two of them are doing now also has a lot to do with a rare disease that has suddenly become a global hot topic.
Since August, a rare letter combination ALS and its full name amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have quickly entered the eyes of billions of people around the world. Of course, the real popularity is ALS and the nickname "ALS", after all, the original name is too obscure.
Motor neuron disease (MND) is a neurological disorder in which the patient's motor neuron cells are unable to control the muscles of the nervous system, manifesting as uncontrollable movements, paralysis, aphasia and other symptoms. Because the condition will lose mobility after deterioration, and even affect spontaneous breathing, most patients usually die three or five years after the onset of the disease, so the incidence and prevalence of this disease are relatively close, according to the statistics of the United States, the incidence is about 2 per 100,000, and the prevalence is 6 per 100,000.
ALS is a type of MND motor neuron disease, the main manifestation is that the body gradually becomes numb and loses consciousness and control from the extremities, just like the process of a person soaking in ice water and gradually losing consciousness in the body: first from the fingers and toes to lose consciousness, and then the palms, soles, soles, arms, and calves, so some people gave him the name "ALS".
Among all the MND, ALS is undoubtedly the most brutal and brings the most pain to patients, even more painful than amputation, hemiplegia and even total paralysis.
The pain of amputation stroke is that he suddenly loses his ability to move, and suddenly becomes a waste person who can't walk, jump, or jump, and can only make a meal to open his mouth, causing many people to accept it and even pray for euthanasia. For ALS patients, they can only helplessly wait for the disease to take away the normal parts of the body little by little, walking, dressing, eating and talking independently, and the ability of an individual to be a human being is gradually deprived, but they are powerless.
This kind of helpless waiting pain is like a stumbling person who falls into a glacier slit and has no choice but to wait for death, so patients with this disease are also called "ALS" on the Internet.
Perhaps it is this helplessness and pain of isolation that is the culprit behind the fact that most patients do not live for five years.
Of course, no money, no good medical conditions, and even no great existence with dreams and interests may also be the reasons for these deaths. After all, there is still a miracle like Hawking in this world who has been fighting against ALS for half a century, and he is still alive.
As the most famous "gradual freezing person", the process of Hawking's "gradual freezing" can be described as very long.
He was diagnosed with the disease as early as 1963, but Hawking was still able to walk on crutches until he married in '65, and only in the 70s did he have to sit in a wheelchair and push it with his own hands and arms. It was also a time of great success for his research career and family, as he became a "Lucas" professor at the University of Cambridge (an honorary position of mathematics and physicist that only one person could obtain at the same time) and a third child.
It was only in 1985 that he gradually lost his ability to speak due to a tracheostomy to treat pneumonia infection, first only acquaintances could understand and translate his words, and then he was completely speechless, and could only type and speak with the help of a speech synthesizer.
At this point, even though he was forced to be fixed to an electric wheelchair because of his total paralysis, Hawking still did not stop thinking, he looked into the depths of the universe, contemplated the nature of time, the structure of black holes, and used the only three fingers left except his eyes to tap on a special keyboard to write famous essays and books, such as the most famous "A Brief History of Time" (1988).
Atletico had been interested in helping the great scientist improve his equipment and swap out his awkward and stiff voice synthesizer and keyboard, but Intel had taken the lead. The latter has been working with Hawking for three years, helping him to design the ACAT (Contextual Awareness Aid Kit) that can use sensors to recognize the posture angle of the eyes and eyebrows, convert them into input codes, plus intelligent prediction technology to further simplify the "typing operation", and even realize blink typing and eyebrow typing.
Recently, Intel has made the tool free and user-friendly, allowing it to be customized to serve more patients with MND and paralyzed mobility, improving the way they communicate with the world.
Intel sponsors various charity and educational public welfare activities all year round, and FB helps people in underdeveloped countries to swipe Facebook for free, Google research balloons to surf the Internet, and send cheap Internet signals to underdeveloped areas...... It has to be said that the awareness and skills of these large foreign companies in maintaining public relations and creating a good image can definitely leave their domestic counterparts behind for decades.
And it's not just big companies that are keen on philanthropy, but also big bosses, especially the rich people in Silicon Valley, who are very keen on philanthropy, with Intel founder Gordon Moore supporting environmental, scientific and nursing causes through the Moore and Moore Foundation, and Microsoft founder Gates III promoting global equality in health and education through the Gates and Sons Foundation......
Although hundreds of thousands of years ago, the wealthy Chinese had already had a sense of return for building bridges and paving roads for the benefit of their hometowns, but because of the lack of corresponding institutional support, this kind of folk charity did not grow well, and finally became a ruthless sneer of "killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without remains".
In fact, foreign tycoons are not all keen on charity, most people just spend tens of thousands of dollars to sell personal favors on occasions such as charity galas, and those who really sign the "charity declaration" like Gates and Moore and promise to donate at least half of their family property after death are only a few, and many of them appear in the Internet industry.
In the end, this declaration became a "naked donation", which was constantly mentioned because of its topical nature, and basically people on the rich list and celebrities from all walks of life were inevitably asked about it. Atletico Madrid is naturally no exception, and their answer is naturally to agree, after all, the so-called "all or most of the inheritance after death, leaving only the living expenses for the children" is quite flexible, until now, the scale of the Jiajing Foundation is not more than one billion, and there is still a long way to go from accepting all the property of the two into Atletico Madrid and Tang Jiayi Charity Foundation.
Atletico Madrid's campaign of pouring ice water over their heads is called the Ice Bucket Challenge, and it is the most popular event in the world throughout the month of August.
The rules are that if you are named, you will either accept being poured a bucket of ice water over your head within 24 hours, or you can donate $100 to the ALS Foundation, and then you can name three friends and invite them to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge, and if the people you name next participate in, you will also need to donate another $100. Former baseball player Pete Fryss started the campaign on Twitter, and it quickly spread among NFL (National Football League) players until it spread outside the sports world, where a large group of tech bigwigs, literary stars, and politicians and activists joined in, as their popularity gradually detonated the event and became the most popular and hot event in the summer of 2014.
Even in China, where Twitter obviously does not exist, there are a bunch of Internet company bosses who have been waiting for cultural and sports stars, waiting for someone to invite him, and then happily pouring the ice water that has been prepared long ago on their heads.
This is also a Suntory thing, the whole society has recognized the rare disease of ALS, and Korean dramas have added a kind of material that has a dramatic conflict that is stronger than leukemia; the ALS Foundation has received huge attention and tens of millions of dollars in donations; and celebrities who have voluntarily poured water on their heads have also received great attention and exposure, and even ordinary people have watched the excitement, and at the same time added a new way to cool off the heat in the hot summer, and it has been constantly deduced by the brain-opening masses of various new games.
The ice-water mixture poured on Atletico Madrid's head is specially made, and the ice cubes are not the kind of transparent squares that come out of the ice machine, but ice beads specially made with plastic molds, so that when pouring down, the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate, which will have the best picture effect.
Of course, no matter how much he tosses, he is still the traditional head watering faction, compared to a certain "Shoushan" Mr. Ice Bucket is simply weak, this "violent philanthropist" sat directly into a large trash can, and then let people transport a cart of ice cubes to pour into it, and also added a side task to the "Ice Bucket Challenge", claiming that if anyone exceeds his 30-minute ice bucket record, he will donate another 1 million, which is very in line with his desperate spirit for charity.
However, after the video went online, some professionals immediately questioned it, claiming that men's balls are the most fragile and inspermable when hot, and aspermious and aspermious when cold, and soaking in ice water for a long time may freeze men's balls, which will be infertile at least and become the first eunuch in the 21st century. and suspected that Mr. Chen was fraudulent, which can be regarded as adding a lot of tidbits to this hot topic.
Atletico only learned about these domestic situations later, and he was not very enthusiastic about this kind of activity, because as a pragmatist, he felt that this kind of activity was too wasteful, and it was too wasteful to make a bucket of ice water in the summer, and it was better to buy vitamin tablets and give them to African children with these electricity and water bills.
However, when he was invited to challenge, he didn't immediately say that I wouldn't play and I would donate money, but he still doused himself with a bucket of water.
As Atletico's head swayed back and forth, the ice particles and water droplets mixed in the hair were thrown out with a bang, just like a dog throwing water after swimming. took off his completely soaked clothes and threw them aside, this guy first repaired a beautiful six-pack abs and at least a cup of muscles in front of the camera, and then took the bathrobe handed by Tang Jiayi and wrapped it around his body.
Although these ice water is indeed close to zero degrees Celsius, it has not been in contact for a long time, and secondly, it has thrown off most of it, and it has not taken much temperature away from him, but Atletico Madrid, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, still shivered, and then said three names to the camera and invited them to challenge the ice bucket.
It's just that unlike others, he didn't carefully select the invitees, but directly invited the top three according to the activity of fans, as for whether his "ice species" can be passed on, it is not something that Atletico has to care about.
