Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

If we talk about the first clinical trial of human hibernation technology,

Researchers on the entire human hibernation project are already nervous enough.

Now, the level of tension will not be much different, or even worse.

A group of researchers were so busy.

Mo Dao was lying flat in the hibernation cabin that had not yet been closed. There was nothing he needed to do.

The mood is quite calm.

Although this hibernation attempt also has a very special meaning for him,

But after a long life, Mo Dao was completely able to accept the failure of this attempt.

…

"Academician Mo, we are going to inject you with 544 compound now."

Unlike several previous clinical trials, Mo Dao did not enter an anesthetized state in advance during human hibernation this time.

From the perspective of the entire hibernation process, anesthesia in advance is actually unnecessary.

After the human body enters hibernation, it will also lose its perception of the outside world.

The only purpose of anesthesia in advance is to avoid some physical pain or suffering during the use of 544 compound.

In the previous communication, Mo Dao had cut off the anesthesia step in his hibernation process.

It can also be regarded as providing some data that has never been available before for the study of human hibernation technology.

"Academician Mo, if you feel particularly uncomfortable in any way, you can communicate with us in time."

Before officially using the 544 compound, the researchers confirmed with Mo Dao.

Mo Dao nodded and responded without saying anything else.

Just let the researchers operate the human hibernation process.

Somewhat cautiously, the researchers used a pre-complex of hibernating substances for Mo Dao.

Then he straightened up again and stepped back.

The 544 compound used this time can probably synthesize the 545 compound in the human body that can maintain a hibernation state for three months.

Mo Dao intuitively felt the feeling of his body at this moment.

Because of the intravenous injection, the first feeling was a bit cold.

Then, the reaction speed of 544 complex in the body is very fast.

The feeling that followed was a bit indescribable.

It can be said to be pain, pain all over the body, but not to the point of excruciating pain, more of an discomfort.

"Academician Mo, how do you feel?"

"It's a little uncomfortable, but it's bearable."

Although Mo Dao was lying flat in the hibernation cabin at the moment, his body was covered with life monitoring instruments,

But Mo Dao's subjective feelings are still very important information.

While staring closely at the beating values, a group of researchers also asked Mo Dao,

Then, there was a relatively long period of silence,

In the entire laboratory, there seemed to be only the sounds of various instruments.

"Academician Mo, you should completely enter hibernation in thirty hours..."

Mo Dao nodded,

In the short time he had been here, he had already felt that his body was gradually becoming a little sluggish.

It's like there is a delay in the body receiving instructions from the brain.

However, my thinking is still clear for the time being.

In fact, Mo Dao didn't need the researcher next to him to say anything.

Comparing his own feelings, he could almost simultaneously present in his mind a series of reactions taking place in his body due to hibernating substances.

From theory to technical level,

In this life, it may be difficult for anyone to catch up with Mo Dao in terms of understanding of hibernation technology and hibernation mechanisms.

Time, in the process of completely entering the hibernation state,

It seemed that it was a little blurred. It seemed that a long time had passed, and then it seemed that it was just a moment of trance.

Mo Dao's brain gradually began to feel a little drowsy.

Although it takes about thirty hours for the entire body to completely enter hibernation,

But this does not mean that the hibernator's consciousness will not be completely unconscious until the entire body has completely entered hibernation.

Before Mo Dao lost consciousness, he took one last look at the countdown in front of him.

Before he lost consciousness,

The countdown just skipped "11,563,003"

"...Academician Mo has entered hibernation."

…

What is the perception of a person in hibernation?

Regarding the descriptions of volunteers who have experienced the first clinical trial and the second clinical trial,

It’s basically the same as experiencing anesthesia during surgery.

During that period of time, the brain seemed to be shut down directly, with no consciousness and no sense of the passage of time.

It was as if he had just entered hibernation one second and woke up directly the next, without feeling anything in between.

I don’t know if it’s because Mo Dao is special.

Or maybe it’s because there was no anesthesia before hibernation this time.

During the hibernation process, Mo Dao's consciousness was groggy, but he could vaguely feel the passage of time.

This feeling of time passing is also confusing,

It's like a dream at night, it seems to be infinitely long, and it seems to only last a moment.

Of course, these are descriptions of how people feel after waking up.

In the hibernation state, consciousness is drowsy, so it is naturally impossible to have this kind of cognition.

…

"...Academician Mo, can you hear me?"

"……able."

1960, September.

This was the first sentence Mo Dao heard,

Opening his mouth, with a hoarse voice, Mo Dao answered.

Mo Dao had realized that he had woken up from hibernation.

However, my thinking is still a little groggy at this moment.

"Academician Mo, the three-month hibernation time has ended, and it is now three months later."

"Half an hour ago, we just used a medicine for you to block the continued synthesis of hibernation substances. You will probably need a period of training before your body can slowly recover."

The hibernation cabin has been reopened, the researcher standing next to the hibernation cabin said to Modao Xu.

Mo Dao nodded and said no more.

His thoughts have become clearer again as his body gradually and completely emerges from hibernation.

It seemed like a trance, like a nap, spanned three months. This feeling was somewhat special.

In addition, the side effects of waking up after hibernation have not faded away.

My body feels a little uncomfortable at this moment, as if Mo Dao has come to the end of his life. After a period of relaxation, his body gradually feels heavier.

The limbs were also quite sluggish, and it took a long time to move.

"Academician Mo, do you feel anything particularly uncomfortable in your body?"

"Fortunately, it's a little uncomfortable, but it's acceptable. It should be the normal feeling after waking up from hibernation."

With the help of several researchers nearby, Mo Dao gradually stood up from the hibernation cabin.

As for when I open my eyes again, I will still see the scene in the laboratory instead of starting over again.

Mo Dao's mood was relatively peaceful.

This is expected.

According to theoretical expectations, even if human hibernation technology fails to meet his expectations, it will not end his life prematurely.

After standing up, Mo Dao naturally saw another person in the laboratory.

His wife, Qin Huaishi.

The two of them were not in a hurry to talk at this time.

Looking at each other and smiling, Miss Qin Huaishi walked to Mo Dao's side and went to the medical room next to Mo Dao.

After waking up from hibernation, Mo Dao still had to rest for a few days before he could gradually resume his daily activities.

at last,

For Mo Dao, the most important thing about this attempt to hibernate the human body is naturally the countdown.

After lying on the hospital bed to recuperate,

Mo Dao concentrated his attention and looked in front of him again.

The countdown appears again.

"11,519,923"

The countdown will jump down once every minute.

The numbers at this moment were different from the last ones Mo Dao saw before entering hibernation.

But at the same time,

It is also different from the natural flow downwards under normal circumstances.

But for Mo Dao, this was enough.
