Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"Although we have conducted animal experiments on hibernation technology before, it is still uncertain whether it will have undiscovered side effects on humans."

In fact, there is no need to do these instructions before starting the experiment.

Before this volunteer agreed to participate in the human hibernation experiment, and during the period of preparation until now,

The researchers on the human hibernation project must have repeated this to him countless times.

However, Mo Dao gave it to the volunteer and repeated it again.

"In addition, this hibernation. We will wake you up three months after the first hibernation to determine the results of this clinical experiment, and then we will let you re-enter the long-term hibernation state."

"The process from hibernation to awakening will cause damage to your body functions and directly shorten your remaining lifespan."

If you want to go to the future through hibernation and wait for technological breakthroughs to cure your terminal illness.

Participating in clinical trials is actually not a good choice at this moment.

Clinical trials require waking up once midway, rather than going straight into the future.

This is certainly not a good thing for volunteers.

"...I know. Anyway, I don't have a few years to live. Instead of waiting for death slowly at home, I might as well go all out. If I succeed, I can live a few more years. If I fail... I won't lose a few years anyway." , just think of it as a contribution to scientific experiments, and maybe you can leave your name in history.”

"...It's fair to lose some life span. This is the first person to hibernate in the human body."

The volunteer answered Mo Dao with a smile, as if he had thought clearly during this period.

Then he paused again, looked at Mo Dao and others, and said with certainty,

"Besides, I believe in you, Academician Mo."

When Mo Dao heard this, he nodded and said nothing more.

After the exchange between Modao and the volunteer ended,

The first clinical experiment of human hibernation technology has also officially begun.

…

Before the first clinical trial of human hibernation technology on volunteers,

The entire research team has made a lot of preparations.

While recruiting volunteers, the procedures for clinical trials of human hibernation technology have been determined.

After the volunteers are identified, the preliminary preparations for the clinical trial and the formal clinical trial are carried out step by step according to the planned process.

A few days before the official experiment started,

The volunteers began fasting with the assistance of medical staff.

Only infusion is used to ensure the energy required for physical activities.

Ensure that volunteers are in an absolutely fasting state before starting the human hibernation experiment.

This step is mainly to avoid the serious impact of residual food in the stomach on the hibernating body.

When clinical trials officially begin,

Just like the previous animal experiments,

The research team also did not let the volunteers directly enter hibernation in an awake state.

Anesthesia was also given first.

This step is mainly to ensure the stability of the experiment.

And the possibility of great pain if you use 544 complex.

…

"At 3 p.m. Beijing time, the first clinical trial of human hibernation technology begins."

From a process perspective, clinical trials are basically similar to previous animal experiments.

After the volunteer was anesthetized, a respiratory support system was added.

Ensure the volunteers' vital signs during the period from anesthesia to hibernation.

at the same time,

More life monitoring equipment was connected to this volunteer.

To ensure all-round and complete monitoring of volunteers’ physical condition throughout the clinical trial.

At the same time, the volunteer was also placed in the hibernation cabin, but the hibernation cabin was not yet closed and activated.

However, although the experimental process is the same,

But for the researchers who participated in the experiment, the psychological pressure was different.

Before the first clinical trial is completed, no one can say whether 544 Complex and 545 Complex will cause serious adverse reactions in the human body.

Will there be situations that have never occurred in previous animal experiments?

In addition, whether the volunteers' own diseases will have an impact on the experiment itself.

In theory, they do not interfere with each other, but in fact no one can be completely sure. After all, the mechanism of the disease in the volunteers is not fully understood.

But this kind of experiment is inevitable. In the future application of human hibernation technology, there will definitely be a large number of people suffering from diseases that cannot be treated at this stage.

From a human perspective, it is still possible for this volunteer to enter hibernation and not wake up.

From the perspective of research experiments, if the first volunteer experiment fails, it will be a serious blow to the entire human hibernation project.

Maybe the research of the past twenty years will have to be started all over again.

How could a group of researchers not be under psychological pressure in this situation?

Mo Dao's mood was still calm at the moment.

In fact, the most suitable candidate for this kind of clinical experiment is Mo Dao himself.

However, it was difficult for the entire research team and even the higher-ups to agree with Mo Dao's risking his own life.

Theoretically, the human experimental results of 544 and 545 compounds are actually within a broad range of expectations.

After three o'clock that afternoon,

A researcher who performs specific manipulations,

The 544 compound, which was calculated to be able to maintain the hibernation state for more than three months, was injected into the volunteers.

When all the researchers around looked at the volunteer nervously and intently,

Mo Dao's eyes also fell on the volunteer. In his mind, there seemed to be a picture of the human body mechanism model changing after being exposed to the external variable of compound 544.

In a very short time,

It was in the body of this volunteer that the 545 complex, which was synthesized in the human body through the reaction of the 544 complex, was born for the first time.

Then, like a beginning, more 545 compounds began to be born,

This process is not like an 'explosion', but more like a more even and continuous process.

"...The body metabolism of the volunteers slowed down, and the heart rate continued to decrease..."

Reactions at the macro level are beginning to show.

And just as the researchers couldn't help but lift their minds,

The 545 compound was not affected by the nervousness of the researchers at this moment, and gradually began to work.

And as reflected in this volunteer,

That is, its basic physiological activities gradually slow down, and its metabolic rate gradually slows down.

The body is moving towards hibernation.

This process also lasts nearly thirty hours on the human body before it is completely completed.

Within these thirty hours,

None of the researchers had ever left the laboratory, only occasionally taking turns to close their eyes and rest.

finally,

"At eleven o'clock in the evening, capital time, those confirmed to undergo human hibernation experiments will enter hibernation."

The researchers, whose nerves had been tense, after confirming this information,

I couldn't help it for a moment, and the fatigue accumulated all day and night suddenly came to me.

However, they continued to hold on and continued to pay attention to the unfinished process of the human hibernation experiment.

The specific operators have naturally been rotated during these thirty hours.

After confirming that the volunteers have entered hibernation,

With the help of a large number of instruments and equipment, the next step begins.

"...Blood replacement completed."

According to the experimental procedure, after entering the hibernation state, before closing the hibernation cabin,

All blood in the body will be pumped out and replaced with a liquid specially prepared by the research team.

The main function is to cooperate with the use of hibernation cabins and reduce the external impact on the human body during hibernation.

"...Start to close the hibernation cabin."

"The hibernation cabin is closed."
