……

call! !

An unprecedented heat wave is coming!

Lin Xian felt the temperature of his face rising rapidly, and tiny beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead!

"So hot!"

Lin Xian barely opened his eyes...

The loud chirping of cicadas hit my eardrums, and the scorching sun shone vertically, and my shadows timidly huddled under my feet.

Look up to the sky.

A scorching sun occupied half of the sky, so dazzling that people could not look directly at it, and fleeting black spots appeared on their retinas.

Lin Xian lowered his head and rubbed his eyes:

"It's been a long time since I last had a daytime dream. I'm still a little uncomfortable with this temperature."

He estimated that the current temperature might have exceeded 40 degrees. Compared with the harsh winter in the real world... it was like heaven and hell.

He quickly ran to the shade of the tree and felt a little cooler.

Squinting his eyes, he looked at the electronic sign next to him. The time displayed was -

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

【13:33】

"Half past one, it's still early."

Lin Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He couldn't wait to go to the library to enjoy the air conditioning.

Maybe it was because it was too hot at noon.

There was no one to be seen in this square which was usually bustling with people.

He walked along the shade of the trees to the bus stop and got on the bus to the library.

In this 23-year dream.

Lin Xian rarely comes here.

He can only play in his dreamland for 3 or 4 hours a day. Time is so precious, why not play something more interesting? Or do something big? How can he waste precious computer time in the library?

He came here only a few times, and his purpose was to figure out why the level of technology in dreams had not developed at all.

Lin Xian realized this very unreasonable phenomenon when he was in junior high school. During that time, he thought of many ways and made a lot of efforts to find the truth in his dreams.

After searching a lot of information, I found that almost all reports, history books, commentators, and news focused on social issues.

say what:
"The deformed education system is doomed to fail to screen out true geniuses!"

"Students are unable to learn useful knowledge in school, resulting in the burying of talents."

"The scientific community is in a period of transition, and young people are very profit-driven and unwilling to work in the low-paying scientific research industry."

"There are problems in the academic world itself! There are too many academic cliques, and the academic circles are self-contained. The truly talented scholars will be excluded!"

……

Lin Xian asked many passers-by, and they all said the same thing over and over again, complaining about all kinds of injustices and believing that the reason why science and technology had not developed for hundreds of years or even regressed was all due to the defects of various systems.

Regarding this statement... Lin Xian didn’t quite believe it at the time.

He does not think that the development of science and technology must rely on these things. True geniuses will not be bound by the education system. It is impossible that no genius scientist has appeared in these 600 years?

But no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, this was how the dream was set up, and he couldn't find any other supporting evidence, so Lin Xian could only accept it silently.

After all... considering that dreams are fake, there is no need to be so serious about such details.

"But now it seems that things are definitely not that simple."

Lin Xian shook his head.

After Professor Xu Yun finishes the dream verification... he will make a comeback and get to the bottom of this issue.

……

On the first floor of the library, there is an electronic reading room where readers can look up information and check the location of books.

Lin Xian opened the browser and typed in the search bar: "Has the hibernation chamber been successfully developed?"

Hey.

Press the Enter key.

squeak……

squeak……

squeak……

The host computer made a tired sound and the display page refreshed slowly.

The computer is a bit slow, a common problem with public computers.

Lin Xian took a glance and saw that there were 7 antivirus software in the lower right corner, one after another, which was shocking.

After a dozen seconds, the search was completed and many results came out.

The first result showed a line of bold black words:

[To this day, the hibernation capsule has not been successfully developed. ]

Ok.

As expected, the dream world was not successfully developed.

This result is not surprising at all. With the level of technological development in the dream being no different from that in 2022, it would be a miracle if they could invent a hibernation capsule.

Lin Xian clicked on the first result——

This is a long article, and although it looks like it was put together by a marketing account, it still contains some useful information:

[Due to the slow development and even regression of human science and technology after the 21st century... countries around the world started late in researching hibernation technology.

If we talk about the beginning of hibernation technology really entering people's vision and turning from science fiction into a reality, it should be in 2477 AD, when American scientist Dr. Michelson successfully developed a high-dissolved oxygen liquid that can maintain human body activity for a long time and hinder the formation of cellular ice crystals. This liquid was later confirmed to be used as a filling liquid for hibernation chambers.

Since then, mankind has seen hope for the first time to conquer the hibernation chamber. Countries around the world have devoted a lot of manpower and material resources to establish special research institutes and devote themselves to studying hibernation chamber-related technologies.

But things went against our wishes. In the following 100 years, there were no breakthroughs in hibernation-related technologies, and humans still have a long way to go before they can realize their dream of hibernation across time and space.

Therefore, Dr. Michelson's research ignited the fire of hibernation technology, but it also became the swan song of hibernation technology. In order to commemorate this great pioneer, later scholars honored Dr. Michelson as——

The father of hibernation. 】

……

"There really is a hibernation father."

Lin Xian felt that there seemed to be something to his crow's mouth.

But it turned out to be just as he thought.

In 2624 AD, although the hibernation chamber was still a long way off, the hibernation chamber filling fluid had indeed been developed.

"Dr. Michelson, on behalf of Professor Xu Yun, thank you."

Lin Xian bowed to the computer screen, which was considered as obtaining Dr. Michelson's authorization.

"Then next, we just need to find Dr. Michelson's relevant papers, academic reports, and the like."

Lin Xian closed the webpage and opened the library's book management system.

Search for the word "hibernation" in it.

Many book search results pop up, followed by detailed information about the floor, area, and shelf number.

These books are varied.

There are science fiction novels, comics, academic journals, and news reports.

Lin Xian checked one by one and soon found his target——

"A Brief Analysis and Outlook of Hibernation Technology" by Bill Michelson

"You are the one."

Lin Xian looked at the notes at the back:
Book display location: 3th shelf No. 67, Area C, Scientific Works, 7rd floor.

Lin Xian got up and went to the third floor.

Soon, the works of Mr. Michelson were found on the corresponding bookshelf.

"A Brief Analysis and Outlook of Hibernation Technology"

Lin Xian looked at the title on the cover:

"Brief analysis... You'd better write it in a simpler way, at least so that I can understand the key points..."

This book looks a bit old, but the inside is still very new. I guess no one has ever read it.

Lin Xian found a seat by the window, sat down and began to read.

His memory was limited, and there wasn't much he could take out of his dream, so he could only try his best to focus on the important things and avoid the trivial ones, and bring back some key information for Professor Xu Yun.

Look through the first few pages.

He felt the good intentions of this big boss Michelson.

It can be seen that Michelson really wants everyone to understand the principles and application process of hibernation technology. He used a lot of easy-to-understand words to explain the technical terms and chemical phenomena, which made it not so difficult for Lin Xian to understand.

The book says...

The principle of human hibernation is to reduce the efficiency of all physiological activities and cellular activities to the lowest level, as close to a stop state as possible, but it can never really stop.

The best solution is low-temperature freezing.

In order to achieve a good cryogenic hibernation effect, the human body must be frozen to below minus 120 degrees Celsius.

However, this is where the contradiction arises.

Human cells contain a large amount of water, which will freeze below 0 degrees Celsius. The ice crystals (Note 1) formed during the freezing process have a devastating effect on cell structures. They can directly pierce the cell membrane, kill the cell, and make it inactive.

Note 1: Ice crystals refer to the snowflake-like spike-like structures formed when water freezes, which can easily pierce cells.

Although the flash freezing technology allows ice crystals to condense into ice directly before they have time to form, it protects the cell structure from being destroyed.

But a second problem arises.

It is true that the human body can be frozen quickly, but what about thawing it?

When thawing, there is no doubt that the temperature will slowly rise and approach zero degrees Celsius. In this process, ice crystals will inevitably form and the cell structure will inevitably be destroyed.

A body with all cells destroyed, brain cells, nerve cells, body cells, hemoglobin cells all ruptured and lost their activity... This is no different from complete death, and there is absolutely no possibility of waking up.

"Uh-huh……"

Lin Xian watched with great interest.

At least so far, this part of the principle is still completely understandable.

"So, how do we solve the problem of [Ice Crystal]?"

Wow.

Lin Xian turned the book to the next page.
