NO.164 Cryonics center opened

Early in the morning, Nicolas Gaunt slowly opened his eyes from the precious Hestens bed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He looked at the date a little -- today was the third day, the third day of his advanced liver cancer diagnosis.

Just three days ago, when he was working in the office of the Empire State Building in New York, he suddenly felt a heart-rending pain in his abdomen.

Doctors told him that he would not live more than three months.

He was a director of a furniture company, and when he was younger, he co-founded a company with a friend that owned a third of the company, but the company has since risen to the point where he is now worth more than half a billion dollars.

Perhaps for those giant conglomerates, this money can only be regarded as a small part, but for ordinary people, this is a wealth that cannot be spent in ten lifetimes.

Originally, people like him should have bought a coastal villa in Miami, a retirement paradise, and enjoyed the sea breeze on weekdays and the joy of children and grandchildren around their knees.

However, at this moment, he can only lie alone in a high-end apartment in Manhattan.

He was a lifelong heavy drinker, his wife had died ten years earlier, his son had been killed in a three-year car accident, and now he was over 60 years old, with no relatives except for a younger brother and two nephews.

Originally, he also thought that it might be a good choice to leave the inheritance to his younger brother, but just yesterday, after his brother learned that he had cancer, his younger brother came to visit him with two nephews and talked about the inheritance.

It was at that time that he, who had already been stagnant in his heart, shuddered deeply after seeing the eyes of his two nephews in their thirties!

Because he saw that the eyes of the two of them looking at him were full of greed and bloodlust! It's like two ferocious hungry wolves, waiting for their long-standing wildebeest to die, and then come forward to gnaw at their own bones! Suck your own guts!

This kind of look made Nicholas shudder......

For the first time, he found that he was unwilling to die in his heart, giving his huge family property to a few people who were almost irrelevant, and he didn't want to lie in that cold coffin and slowly rot!

He wants to live, he wants to continue to enjoy life! I want to replace my wife and son and live their lives together!

Shakespeare said: When you are dizzy, you must spin more, and the sorrow that you can't live can be cured by the sorrow of others.

Nicholas's eyes gradually burst into the light of survival, he noticed a variety of information, and noticed that in that mysterious country in China, a drug called T-1 has been born to treat cancer, but unfortunately, although that drug can cure his cancer, but it cannot repair his already necrotic liver, his own cirrhosis, has reached the point of no cure, it is this damaged liver, is the culprit of his own life.

However, this was not a reason to give up hope, Nicholas sat up sharply, called his assistant, and asked him to apply for a visa and passport to China, while he himself put on reading glasses and wanted to look online to see what other hospitals had any hope of curing his disease.

"Click!"

With a heavy mouse click, the moment he opened the browser, Nicholas looked at the screen with a squinted eye - he saw that there was an interesting message in the promotion center on the homepage of Google.

'Prelude to humanity's eternal life?' The 'Cryogenic Sleep Elixir' was born, and humans can be frozen in vivo! ”

This paragraph of the title has risen to the first place in the hot search!

Nicholas subconsciously clicked on this title, and suddenly an unfamiliar but unique logo appeared on the screen, which was a round ball, which was divided into four irregular pieces by two blank arcs, each with a different color, a total of red, yellow, blue, and green.

This is a company logo.

Nicholas didn't care about this, he continued to scroll down, this article clearly explained the title of the article, to the effect that biological cells themselves have a strong vitality, even if they encounter extremely low temperatures, they will only temporarily enter a dormant state instead of dying directly, but the water in the cells will produce swelling crystals, bursting the cells, and this crystallization phenomenon is the culprit that causes the body to be damaged and died.

And this unknown company called Stellar Biotechnology has invented a new drug, which can make the water in the body not freeze at a very low temperature after injection, but become a glass state, which perfectly bypasses the ice crystal damage caused by the water after the cell is frozen, and reaches the point where the cells are perfectly dormant!

That is to say, human beings injected with this agent can also be in a state of cryodormancy, in which the human body can go through hundreds of thousands of years without dying, but in a half-immortal dormant state, once the temperature rises again, it can be revived again!

Human beings have long had two assumptions, if a person has a terminal illness that cannot be cured by modern technology, he can actually choose not to die directly, but choose to freeze himself, and wait until the day when technology develops to cure the terminal illness dozens of hundreds of years later.

There is another idea, that is, interstellar colonization often takes hundreds of years or even thousands of years, but the lifespan of human beings cannot reach that level, so if the spacecraft is set as a goal, the pilot is all frozen, and then thawed after thousands of years to reach the destination, for the pilot, they just have a dream, and when they wake up, they will arrive at the destination.

These two ideas have long been a household name, but they have not been realized due to technical reasons, but today, this technology that can truly freeze living people has appeared!

Nicholas took a deep breath and couldn't help but thump inside himself, yes, that's right! That's what you want, no matter what it costs, this antifreeze must be obtained! Only this medicine can save your own life!

He endured his excitement and continued to look down, only to see that the article continued, the company's new drug had just passed the certification of the US FDA a few days ago, and it was 100% successful in clinical practice, and because it was a nanodrug, there was no chemical reaction, so there was no toxic side effects, and it only took three to four days after thawing, the drug would be excreted with the body's water cycle.

Finally, the article said that the stellar biotechnology company has built a huge cryonics center in India, which can allow more than a million people to sleep at low temperatures.

And this cryonics center, which has been officially opened, has a price of one million dollars, whether it is thawed in a few years or hundreds of years, no matter how many years it has been frozen, the cost is one million dollars.

This kind of price may have excluded 90% of the world's people, but those 10% people are enough for the company to make a lot of money.

Taking a deep breath, Nicholas did not immediately make the impulsive decision to go to India, but smoked another cigarette and forced himself to calm down while calling a friend of his own, who works at the FDA.

As you get older, you will always become more calm and sophisticated, and it is difficult for anything to affect your emotions, especially this kind of life-related issues.

Soon, my friend confirmed the authenticity of the Google article, and the day before yesterday, the FDA did pass the drug called "Human Cryogenic Sleep Anti-Freezing Nanodrug", and the company that invented the drug was indeed Stellar Biotechnology.

After confirming all this, Nicholas called the assistant again, and then told the other party that after applying for a visa to China, he also needed to apply for a visa to India. (To be continued.) )
