Chapter II
"How do you want to get into our experimental project?"
"You know, if my illness gets better, it may be ten years, and if it gets worse, it won't be for two years." Ke Qinghe's hand kept turning the paper cup in his hand, "I also want to live a few more years and see what life will be in the future." ”
"As far as I know, your wife is just pregnant."
"yes."
"Aren't you going to stay with her, then?"
"Huh." His tone began to fade, "Actually, I suspect that the child is not mine. ”
The man in white overalls paused the file in his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Actually, it is not difficult to enter hibernation, but the difficult thing is the cost of later maintenance." ”
"Costs aren't a problem." Ke Qinghe was unfazed, "I promise that there will be enough funds in place." ”
The staff, setting aside the file, took out an envelope and handed it to him.
"This is our agreement, because it is a pilot phase, and you are also willing to participate in the trial, so we do not take any risk responsibility."
Ke Qinghe took out the agreement in the envelope, a few simple columns, expressing the various possibilities that may appear in the experimental stage.
"Sign it and get started?"
"Yes."
He quickly signed his name in the lower right corner with a handprint.
The staff sealed the envelope and locked it in the safe.
Ke Qinghe tilted his head, and there were already about three or four letters in the safe.
"Is anyone already in attendance?" He asked.
The staff took their seats: "Sorry, these are all confidential. ”
"Okay then." Ke Qinghe leaned back in his chair, and the water in the cup had no temperature. "When does that start?"
"We will first do a full body examination for you to make sure that there are no mental illnesses, and then we can conduct a preliminary test to make sure that your body can be frozen, and our experiment will officially begin."
"Yes." Ke Qinghe didn't hesitate, "Then you don't refuse a seriously ill patient like me?" ”
The staff smiled slightly, clasped their hands together and said: "Actually, since the launch of this project, the most popular ones are like you." They all have the same idea, and they all want to go through hibernation and see in the future. ”
"Huh." Ke Qinghe sneered, "Okay." ”
The staff stretched out his hand and pressed the button on the side of the table, and when he leaned forward, Ke Qinghe noticed that the work card on his body was written "D.LUO".
"Luo?" He asked, "Dr. Luo?" Dr. Luo? ”
"Just call me Dr. Luo."
"Okay." Ke Qinghe shook his head, "Your tech company also needs a doctor?" ”
"Because the project requires it."
At this moment, a lady dressed as a nurse walked in outside the door and politely greeted them all.
"Mr. Ke, please come with me to do a check-up now." The nurse's voice is very gentle, which is the type that Ke Qinghe likes.
"Okay." He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked with the nurse to the examination room.
After following the elevator down a few floors, they entered the examination room.
"Mr. Ke, when was the last time you had a meal?" The nurse pulls out the notebook and begins to take notes.
"Hmm...... It's about half past eight in the morning. ”
The nurse glanced at her watch: "It's been more than five hours." ”
"Well, it's been five hours." Ke Qinghe pretended to be angry, "I'm hungry, and you don't provide anything to eat?" ”
The nurse smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry Mr. Ke, our examination cannot be carried out after meals, if you are hungry, we can deliver meals to you first, and you can choose other times to check." ”
Ke Qinghe hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm joking." ”
The nurse smiled and continued to record for him: "Does Mr. Ke's family have any genetic history?" ”
"Nope." He replied affirmatively, "All retribution is upon me." ”
With that, he laughed again.
The nurse recorded his height, weight, and then disinfected his arm and drew blood. When you're done, invite him to sit in a recliner.
"Good chairs." Ke Qinghe took off his coat and lay down inside, "It's more comfortable than my massage chair." ”
The little nurse smiled and glued the data cable for him, head, chest, arms and feet.
"What is this for?"
"I'll give you a nervous system analysis."
"Oh."
The little nurse turned on the device, walked to the door and carefully picked up his coat.
"Mr. Ke, I'll help you take your clothes to the lounge outside."
"Okay." Ke Qinghe lay on a comfortable chair.
The nurse walked out of the room, the quiet examination room, melodious music sounded, and the comfortable environment, Ke Qinghe slowly closed his eyes and began to enjoy the atmosphere of the examination room.
His phone kept vibrating to indicate that there was a new message, and in the pocket of his coat, it was muted.
As a piece of music ended, the nurse returned to the room and put down all the data cables for him.
"Already?" Ke Qinghe opened his eyes and asked.
"Yes." The nurse helped him up and took him to the break room outside.
The lounge is sunny at this time, and it is very comfortable to sit on the sofa by the window and enjoy the warm daylight.
The nurse placed his coat beside him, and a light meal was already set up on the table.
"Mr. Ke, I'm sorry to wait for a long time, you can eat first, then take a rest and wait for the test results."
"Okay."
Ke Qinghe happened to be hungry and ate unceremoniously. I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, but this meal is quite in line with his taste.
After eating, the nurse served him a cup of coffee.
"The service is good." Ke Qinghe said with a smile, in fact, if you think about it, you should also get such a service with the money you invested.
"Mr. Ke, you can rest first." The nurse turned on the TV on the wall, "You can watch your favorite TV show." ”
"Okay, I'll do it myself." Ke Qinghe took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, which showed many unread messages and missed calls.
His face darkened.
"Mr. Ke, I'll go out first, please call me if you need to."
Ke Qinghe didn't look up, he waved his hand, signaling that she could go.
The nurse walked out of the door and gently closed the door. He was the only one in the entire lounge.
Ke Qinghe looked at the unread information on his phone, sighed, clicked on the blue sign, and the message jumped into view.
"Qinghe, why didn't you reply to me?"
"If you're in doubt, why don't you come with me for a paternity test?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Ke Qinghe looked at the phone silently, looking at the avatar, his fingers stayed on the screen and did not move.
He never thought about what he was going to say, but chose to put down his phone.
In a moment, he took out a pill box from his coat pocket, which contained various pills and pills, he took them out one by one, put them in the palm of his hand, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice, and passed them with the coffee on the table.
I don't know how long it was, when the nurse returned to the room, Ke Qinghe was lying on the sofa on his side and slept soundly. The sun on his back made his whole body warm.
"Mr. Ke?" The nurse gently woke him up.
Ke Qinghe rubbed his eyes, sat up from the sofa, and stretched: "What time is it?" ”
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon." The nurse said and poured him a glass of water.
Ke Qinghe drank all the water in the cup: "How is it?" Is the report out? ”
"Yes." The nurse opened the report, "May I ask Mr. Ke, have you been taking any medication lately?" ”
Ke Qinghe was stunned: "Does it have any effect?" ”
"Yes." The nurse said, "Because we don't know the effect of the drug during the experimental phase, we recommend that it is better not to take the drug before the experiment." ”
"Will you die if you don't take medicine?"
The nurse smiled: "Dormancy and death are two different things. ”
Ke Qinghe stretched out his finger, realizing that he had said something wrong, and quickly shook his finger and retracted what he had just said: "I mean, will you die during dormancy if you take medicine?" ”
"We can't say for sure yet." The nurse was still smiling, "But some drugs can make you drowsy, which may affect the time you wake up." ”
Ke Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief: "This, it's nothing." ”
The nurse wrote on the report: "We recommend that you stop taking the medication for at least 24 hours before taking the first stage of testing. ”
"24 hours?" Ke Qinghe's voice was a little louder, and he quickly relaxed, "I haven't taken medicine for a day today, counting the time last night, it should be almost 24 hours, that is, I can do it tomorrow, right?" ”
The nurse nodded, "Yes." ”
The nurse handed him the report: "The results of the examination are normal, please sign for sure." ”
Ke Qinghe just glanced at it lightly, a row of green signs, and then hastily signed his name: "Okay, right?" ”
"Yes." The nurse put away the report, "I'll give you an appointment for tomorrow morning's lab now." ”
"Hmm."
The nurse took out her mobile phone and called up the schedule: "Nine o'clock in the morning, is it convenient?" ”
"Earlier, eight o'clock." Ke Qinghe said.
"Okay." The nurse recorded it for him, "Then tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you will go to the nurse's desk on the third floor on time, and someone will take you to the laboratory." ”
"Okay." Ke Qinghe took his coat, it was time to get out of here.
The nurse took him down the elevator and took him to the door of the company.
Ke Qinghe looked at this and couldn't help but ask: "Are you a technology company or a hospital?" ”
The nurse smiled and replied, "We are a futuristic technology experiment jointly developed by Choose Network Technology and GL Hospital. ”
"So what do you do?"
"We want to use modern technology and medical projects to synthesize and popularize scientific and technological life for more people."
"Huh." Ke Qinghe said with a smile, "With all due respect, your project is very expensive, and I don't think the people's demand is much." ”
The nurse smiled and said nothing, sent him to the door, and smiled goodbye to him.
Ke Qinghe drove his own sports car, driving on the road that had not yet started the rush hour. The afternoon sun had already slanted down, shining on the building's glass, casting a harsh light. The elevated highway is surrounded by high-rise buildings under construction, occupying all the land of the city, and itself is wrapped in the iron sheet of the car.
