Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1861 Billions of Years

Lan Nuo's plan itself is not difficult to understand. In essence, it is to accumulate the knowledge he has learned through reincarnation again and again, and then use almost unlimited time to achieve a perfect ending within a timeline selected by himself.

Some extremely difficult games do require multiple playthroughs to unlock special endings, but Lanno's is a bit too difficult. Those that require multiple playthroughs to unlock special endings only require two or three playthroughs at most. Few players can endure the same plot and process four or five times.

However, what Lan Nuo has to do is to use thousands of reincarnations to achieve a perfect ending. That is to say, it may take a total of millions of years for Lan Nuo to achieve immortality on a timeline that he has carefully selected.

However, this is indeed the optimal solution in theory. Various information from the future did play a considerable role in his second round.

Especially in the initial stage, it made him much faster. The partial memory lost in this body made him forget a lot of detailed data about metal smelting, chemical production, etc., as well as a lot of problems that might be encountered in the production process and their solutions.

But now she has come back with the experience of the childbirth process of those people in her previous life. All kinds of troubles that might be encountered have been recorded, so the start will be much faster.

Not only that, Lan Nuo also specifically memorized which people had talents in which areas, and let those who were good at or liked to do certain things work in the corresponding positions, which would undoubtedly greatly improve work efficiency.

Those who have talents in various aspects but were buried due to their experiences in their early years have now all been promoted in advance and placed in positions that best suit them.

Although changes in their life experiences will affect their future development to a certain extent, this impact is actually still within a controllable range. Most of the time, they still shine after being promoted, and even do better than in their original historical line.

Lanno's second round progresses faster. With the advent of the colonial era, his influence on the selection of talents has become even greater. All the previous incompetent colonial governors have been replaced with capable and more loyal ones, which makes the time for him to mobilize global manpower slightly earlier.

The development of the times and the advancement of technology are like an exponential function. If each time point is slightly advanced, the speed of development will be much faster than before.

Although this improvement can only be calculated in days in the second round, the accumulation of time and time again may eventually be enough to advance the progress of technology by several years or even more. What will happen in the future may really exceed many people's expectations if it continues to cycle over and over again.

This time, after returning to the colonial era, the world's human and material resources were utilized one step ahead of time. When Lan Nuo just reached the age of seventy, he relied on his experience to develop the human hibernation technology from his previous life. After the relevant technology was developed, he corrected the mistakes made in the previous care.

After all, the human body is a system of dynamic balance. Unless the temperature is close to absolute zero, which makes the human body fall into a state of near-time stillness, otherwise falling into hibernation is actually no different from sleeping. Someone still needs to help move the body to ensure the health of muscles and body tissues.

Lan Nuo originally thought that he would be skinny after waking up this time, because no matter how he helped with the care, without being able to eat directly, even if the consumption was very low, his muscles would gradually atrophy, and he would probably need long-term rehabilitation training after waking up.

But I didn't expect that when I woke up, my body was not as weak as I imagined, and I was not lying in a cold room, but soaking in warm liquid.

He was somewhat familiar with this feeling. In some sci-fi worlds, he had come into contact with this kind of liquid, which could perfectly replace air, allowing humans to breathe in this liquid with their lungs.

The density of the liquid is just right, allowing him to float in it, neither floating on the surface nor sinking underwater.

With a little perception, he guessed what the person who designed this device was thinking.

If he followed the plan he had drawn up before, then it would take at least one adult man two hours a day to take care of a dormant person, which was too expensive.

Although caring for a living person may seem easy, that’s because most people are not paralyzed and can cooperate with doctors and nurses to sit up or turn over on their own.

If you actually meet a paralyzed person, you will find that the human body is actually quite heavy, and women are simply unable to do this kind of work.

After nursing for a while, someone thought, if a person can be suspended in the liquid, the buoyancy can offset the weight. Wouldn't it be convenient for the person inside to move freely? In this way, it will be much easier to move the body during nursing.

The first person to make such a suggestion was actually considering whether the hibernation chamber should be placed in space. In a zero-gravity environment, it would undoubtedly be much easier to manipulate the human body to perform various postures and activities.

However, the aerospace industry was still a theoretical technology in this era. Even artificial satellites could not be launched in a short period of time, let alone building a space station in space.

So a relatively lower-cost but more practical solution was born, using buoyancy to offset gravity. After the person was suspended, they soon found that many of the problems they had encountered before were solved.

People who are paralyzed and bedridden for a long time will develop bedsores, largely because they cannot change their posture and are compressed in the same position for a long time, which leads to lesions such as tissue necrosis. Necrotic tissue loses its resistance and is more susceptible to infection, which leads to adverse consequences.

In this way, being suspended in liquid directly solves the problem of long-term compression in a single location.

  Initially, this solution went through a long period of clinical trials and encountered many problems, such as how to maintain the balance of osmotic pressure between the skin and the liquid, and how to ensure the health of the skin when it is not exposed to air for a long time. How can people breathe in the liquid?

Finally, after repeated experiments, a suitable liquid was configured that could allow a person to be suspended in the liquid. The originally complex nursing work could then be easily completed by a robotic arm. Over the years, the hibernation technology has gradually matured, and the new technology has been applied to Lan Nuo himself.

He woke up this time hoping to see a breakthrough in in vitro organ cultivation technology. However, although more scientists were trained this time and the national strength developed faster, he fell into hibernation earlier. He also accumulated more time for development, but it was difficult to achieve perfection after all. At this time, his students before hibernation were already in their fifties, and their faces were obviously aged, but they still acted like students when facing him.

"Teacher, our in vitro organ cultivation technology has been clinically tested and has achieved initial success. We have extracted a portion of the bone marrow stem cells that were frozen when we were young, and induced a large number of embryonic stem cells through cloning technology, and then cultivated organs on the artificial skeleton.

However, so far only the heart, liver, kidney, skin and intestines have been successfully cultivated.

The skeleton of the pancreas is still in the process of being made, and it may take several years to be completed, but your physical condition is becoming increasingly grim. The older you are, the higher the risk in organ transplantation.

The existing organs that can be cultivated can only extend your lifespan to a certain extent, because we have not been able to cultivate the most important lungs. The lifespan of the human body is like a bucket. Many times it does not depend on the longest board, but on the shortest one.

The structure of the lungs is too complicated. The alveoli inside are a difficult problem that we have not been able to overcome for a long time during in vitro culture. It may be difficult to make any breakthroughs in the short term in the future. So this time we wake you up, please make the decision yourself.

Should the existing organ be transplanted? After an organ transplant, a long period of adaptation and observation is required, during which time it is impossible to enter a dormant state again.

And we estimate that even with an organ transplant, your life span would only be extended by another ten years at most.

If you choose to continue hibernation, you should be able to survive for about fifty years in hibernation.

Although I cannot accurately predict the future development of science and technology, I think 50 years should be enough time for the technology of in vitro organ cultivation to mature, and most of the body's organs except the nervous system should be able to be cultivated.

But one thing is certain, the worse your physical condition and the older your body is, the greater the risk of surgery. If you wait until you wake up in the future and the technology matures before undergoing surgery, although it can theoretically prolong your life, it is very likely that the operation will fail directly because of your poor physical condition.

So what's next? We think it's up to you to decide."

Lan Nuo nodded and said, "I understand. Let's prepare to replace my organs now! By the way, take me to see your organ cultivation base before the operation. Although I have been pursuing immortality from the beginning to the end, there are some bottom lines that I must not cross. The same is true for you. I hope you will not let me down."

Lan Nuo's words made his students look dignified and respectful at the same time. Because everyone knew that there was actually a way that Lan Nuo could survive without facing all kinds of risks.

After all, it is more difficult to cultivate organs outside the body. After all, it is too difficult to imitate the various environments inside the human body relying on existing technology. But if these organs grow naturally, it will be another matter.

For example, if during cloning, instead of simply taking embryonic stem cells, one chooses to take a more radical approach and directly clone humans, then raise these clones, and when they are close to adulthood, directly take away their healthy organs to replace the aging organs of the original gene, then this is completely doable even with the technological conditions of this era.

These organs are exactly the same as the body's own genes and grow naturally. There will be no rejection reaction when transplanted into the body, and there is no need to worry about any complications caused by immature technology.

Today, although the technology for cultivating these organs in vitro is mature, there are still some problems compared to natural organs. But if they are cut from real people, they are definitely much better than artificially cultivated ones.

But this is undoubtedly equivalent to murder. At least so far, they have not been able to simply prevent the brain from developing during embryonic development and ensure the normal development of other organs in the body.

In other words, the organ donors created in this way are all living people, and when they are close to adulthood, they already have their own thoughts. Forcibly taking their organs is no different from killing people.

Lan Nuo would not allow the birth of such technology that would defile intelligent civilization. This was one of the reasons why his students admired him so much. When he saw that he was only one step away from immortality, he still chose to give up decisively. Most people would ask themselves if they did not have such determination.

Perhaps this is why no one dared to harm Lan Nuo even though he had been dormant for so many years, because no one could find any fault with him, whether in terms of achievements or morality.

Even if someone has ulterior motives or ambitions, they dare not plot against him. Instead, they must do everything possible to ensure his survival. Otherwise, they will be suspected of murdering Lan Nuo, which will be a disaster. Even if Lan Nuo has no soldiers left, people all over the world will drown him alive with their saliva.

In the second episode, Lan Nuo chose to perform organ transplantation when the technology was not yet mature, which made many people feel relieved. This means that this person, who has reached the level of a saint in terms of both ability and character, will eventually be defeated by time and will truly die in the next 20 to 30 years.

Even though Lan Nuo had given up all his positions of power, his mere existence was enough to overwhelm any ambitious person. After all, this person could deprive any ruler of his status with just one word, without any legal support, because this guy could represent the law itself.

Lan Nuo would not really do such a thing. Instead, he had been deliberately downplaying his influence. He chose to wake up now because he expected that his reincarnation would still fail, so he was ready to wake up. In this era of more advanced technology, he wanted to record more knowledge and bring it back.
