Ten thousand I am across the heavens

If we can use hibernation technology to travel to the more distant future, it is quite likely that mature longevity technology will be born.

According to Lanno's estimation, with the current speed of technological development, it may be too late to cultivate organs in vitro, but hibernation technology will most likely be developed in time. Although this is a hibernation technology with considerable side effects, if you want to prolong your life and see a more distant future, you must be a guinea pig.

However, Lan Nuo still underestimated the resistance of the times to technological development. If he still retained relatively complete memory, and even had detailed records of the detailed parameters of many technologies, then there might still be some hope.

But the brain of a carbon-based creature cannot handle such complex knowledge. His memory is temporarily kept by an unknown woman. He can only explore many technologies bit by bit, which takes a considerable amount of extra time.

At the same time, the ability of the local indigenous people also limits the development of national strength. Although adults are much better than children in all aspects, adults who have already formed fixed thinking in terms of learning ability cannot compare with children.

Even though they received education in night schools, their acceptance of modern knowledge was quite limited. The effect of sending them abroad as governors of colonies was very worrying, and the development speed of the colonies was quite unsatisfactory.

Of course, there are also a few talented guys here. Lan Nuo silently recorded the names of these talents. If he fails this time, he must remember to promote these talents when the next round begins.

Adults' poor ability to accept new knowledge means that they have to wait until a new generation of children grows up before they can promote technological development at a higher rate.

The weak control over the colonies also made Lanno's utilization of global manpower and material resources much less efficient than expected. There was even an incident where the governor of a colony thought that the emperor was far away and prepared to seek independence. Although the expeditionary force soon taught the governor a lesson, the manpower, material resources and time wasted during this period were difficult to make up for.

Year after year passed, the empire became more prosperous, the dawn of the electric age had appeared, and many years had passed. Lan Nuo was now over 60 years old. Although he still looked strong and had few wrinkles on his face, he knew that even if he ate regularly, worked regularly, and exercised regularly, and took care of his body like a very sophisticated machine, his body was still aging irreversibly, and the speed of aging was getting faster and faster.

Xu He, who looked much older than him, attended the launch ceremony of the first electronic computer with him. Although it was a behemoth the size of two basketball courts, and although the computing speed of this behemoth was not as fast as that of a feature phone in the early 21st century, for that era, this machine was still an absolute miracle.

The scientists in their prime cheered in delight at the sight of this machine that could quickly calculate answers to problems that were difficult to calculate with human power, but only Xu He shook his head indifferently.

When he and Lan Nuo came to the empty lounge, he smiled sarcastically and said, "Computer! What a great invention! I have never seen a more sophisticated and wonderful machine. It is as beautiful as a work of art. But just 500 miles away from the imperial capital, there are still people using gas lamps.

Another 500 miles away, there are no villages with electricity.

A thousand miles further away, many people may never have seen a train in their entire lives.

But they are still like parts of the empire, tirelessly producing one excellent product after another for the empire.

The crops they produce feed the workers in factories and craftsmen in workshops.

The factory produced every steel plate and every rivet on this huge machine. Even the tens of thousands of vacuum glass tubes on this machine were blown out one by one by the craftsmen in the workshop.

  As for me, I have been learning mathematics with you since I was very young, so I am very sensitive to numbers. The wealth spent on building a machine like this is enough to buy an entire province!

He is indeed extremely great, and he will surely do great deeds in the future and be remembered by countless people, but why are you in such a hurry? Why can't you take it a little slower? If you take it a little slower, we don't need to use all the wealth of a province to build him. If you take it a little slower, maybe a county will be enough. If you take it a little slower, the finances of a county will be enough to support him in a few years.

But why are you unwilling to wait? After watching for so many years, I have come to understand that you say you are different from me, but when you really sit in this position, there is actually no difference.

I heard that in ancient times, when the emperors were old, they would seek out strange people from the folks to try to refine the elixir of immortality. They would even become stupid for the sake of sitting on the throne and living forever.

I thought you were different at first, but now it seems there is no difference. The only difference between you and them is that you have been planning your elixir since you were young, but your plan is more ambitious. The only difference between you and them is that their elixir can never be truly refined, while you have a glimmer of hope.

That's why you are so anxious, and that's why you watch the people in the border areas who have never seen an electrical appliance in their lives, but still build an observatory, a computer, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant, a wonder that should not belong to this era.

Because you are afraid of death, and because you are so afraid that you will die, you cannot create an elixir that can extend your life.

  Oh! That's right, you and I both have human nature, why should I expect you to be any different from others? Who am I to question your actions?

All I can say is... congratulations, the computer has been successfully run, and you are one step closer to your elixir."

After saying that, Xu He left without looking back. Lan Nuo knew that this guy must be feeling very bad at this moment, but he had no way to comfort him. Because in terms of purpose, his purpose was indeed immortality, and in terms of what he did, it was indeed no different from those emperors who refined elixirs of immortality. Lan Nuo knew very well that after Lan Nuo gave Xu He freedom, the former emperor actually worshipped Lan Nuo as an idol for quite a long time, and what Lan Nuo did now might have disappointed his admirers in some way.

But even though he was disappointed, Xu He had no position to refute Lan Nuo, because if he put himself in Lan Nuo's shoes, Xu He knew he couldn't do better.

Even if he could go back to the past with all his knowledge and lead the development of the empire himself, more than 40 years would not be enough for the empire to develop to its current level. He did not have the ability, so he had no right to blame capable people for not wanting to do what he envisioned.

Lan Nuo had no way of telling him that he could go back in time and return to the past at will. After all, such a truth was even more cruel to people living in this world.

Lan Nuo watched the former emperor, the former child, leave, and did not stop him, but she did not do nothing either. Over the years, Lan Nuo did at least one thing, which was to try her best to understand Xu He, not only him, but also many other people. Every scientist who participated in the ceremony before was one of the people she understood.

Lan Nuo did not expect to push the entire era forward to an era that would allow him to live forever by his own strength. In fact, that was impossible. Even if he could repeat the process for many rounds, the memories he could bring back each time were limited. The knowledge his brain could handle was limited in itself. It was impossible to expect him to remember every detail of all industrial systems. This kind of thing could only be done after the human body was modified and an inorganic chip was implanted in the brain.

Therefore, Lan Nuo is trying to understand the personality of everyone around him, how to guide their potential, and how to motivate them to contribute to the development of the times.

Some people like money, so give them enough material rewards; some people are interested in it, so guide them as early as possible; some people are competitive and want to be the first in everything, so send them among many scientists and let them grow in the competition.

Of course, some people also need to do the opposite. For example, those who like money may be very smart, but in the future world line, they may not use their intelligence in the direction of scientific research. If they find that they can make money more easily in the financial market or other fields, they may lose their chance to participate in the field of scientific research early on.

So we should do the opposite, that is, for some young people who are eager for money and have the potential to become scientists, we should keep them as poor as possible before they get involved in scientific research. What is the best thing to do? What to go bankrupt?

This information is actually as important as the important industrial data he obtained. If this round fails, he must choose to bring back the previous save point as important experience when restarting the second round.

Although the startup of the computer is of great significance, it can only provide limited help to the longevity technology in a short period of time. Lan Nuo is more about collecting data in this process, and observing the work reports of engineers while they are building this project. Summarizing the troubles that may be encountered in the process of each work, these precautions will also be taken away by him. In this way, when executing similar projects in the future, as long as this precaution is handed over to the executor of the project, when encountering troubles, all problems can be solved. This also means that Lan Nuo does not need to carry a huge amount of information back every time. After all, it is just this computer. All the technical details involved are enough for an ordinary person to learn for ten years. If you really want to bring all the technical details back, you still have to work hard many times. What Lan Nuo should do is to let the right people come to the right positions. Mobilizing the power of the masses is their usual style.

After the birth of computers, the speed of technological development gradually began to slow down. The extremely high cost of computers themselves is actually very telling. Today's empire is not actually an industrial country, because there is only a small industrialized area, and there is only one industrial city in the country, the imperial capital. Other areas provide raw materials for the imperial capital. After the computer, the various large-scale scientific research equipment consumed a sharp increase in manpower and material resources, and the industrial scale required for industrial upgrading is also getting larger and larger.

After skipping classes to improve my top-notch skills to the current level, if I want to continue improving I can only make up for what I owed bit by bit.

Lan Nuo watched his body getting older day by day, and finally he could do nothing about it. Twenty years passed, and when Lan Nuo was 80 years old, the immature hibernation technology was finally born.

Lan Nuo also became the first clinical trial participant of hibernation technology. Before hibernation, he carefully sorted out the memories he needed to keep to ensure that he would not forget these memories in case of any accidents after hibernation.

As the temperature in the hibernation chamber slowly dropped to about fifteen degrees Celsius, the drugs that induced hibernation and the corresponding electrical stimulation were also stimulated synchronously. Lan Nuo was now bald, and the electrodes on his head regularly stimulated his cerebral cortex. The strong sleepiness made him slowly close his eyes, and under the dual effects of drugs and electromagnetic poles, he fell into a deep sleep.

His heart rate also gradually dropped to three times per minute. Although the aging process in the mountainous area did not stop, the aging rate had been restricted to less than one-tenth of the original rate.

The empire developed steadily under the leadership of the successor he personally selected. Lan Nuo also promised that after he woke up, he would not take over the throne again, but would wake up as a scientific researcher.

The human heart is unpredictable. If he does not make such a guarantee, no matter how trustworthy the successor he chooses is, he estimates that he will never wake up.

Fifty years later, Lan Nuo finally woke up again. In the chaos, he felt that his body had become much stiffer. Although the metabolism in the hibernation state is less than 10% of that in the normal state, the medical staff lacked nursing experience when the hibernation technology was just born. At first, they thought that the hibernators only needed to lie in the hibernation chamber. Later, they found that long-term inactivity would not only cause muscle atrophy, but also bedsores on the body, which was actually no different from those patients paralyzed in bed. Therefore, during the hibernation process, someone must regularly help turn over, adjust body posture, and even help move the body to ensure that the joints and muscles still maintain a certain degree of activity.

After Lan Nuo was awakened, he realized that it was not because of any breakthrough in medical technology, but that his life was in danger and had entered a stage that was difficult to maintain. That was why he had to be awakened to prevent him from dying inexplicably. This was also the end of the clinical trial, and by initiating the awakening program, it was confirmed that the hibernation technology was indeed effective.
