Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The animal experiment of 544 compound was put on the agenda immediately after the birth of 544 compound.

The entire human hibernation project research team has been working hard and waiting for this for a long time.

Naturally, we want to promote the experiment of human hibernation project as soon as possible and proceed as soon as possible.

It took about less than two months,

In the past few years, in the process of researching and synthesizing hibernation substances, we have completed the design and manufacture of supporting equipment for the human hibernation project.

After making some minor adjustments and inspections,

After all preparations are done,

Animal experiments began.

It was the beginning of the 59th year of the Gregorian calendar, the eve of the Spring Festival of that year.

The human hibernation project has launched the first batch of hibernation experiments on the 544 complex, facing multiple types of animal individuals at the same time.

Looking at the entire experimental process purely from a humane perspective,

It's rather cruel.

But research and progress in medical research, biology, and life sciences are also inseparable from this kind of cruelty.

It is always better than using 544 compound directly on people.

The specific operation and execution of this animal experiment,

Naturally, there is no need for Mo Dao to personally use 544 compound on experimental animals.

However, at the beginning of the laboratory, Modao was still present with several other first-level professors and academicians in the research team.

The specific experimental operations are carried out by a few middle-aged key researchers in the research team, who can be considered outstanding figures outside.

…

The main target of animal experiments is naturally a close relative of humans, a specially bred experimental monkey.

Before the experiment began, the experimental monkeys were anesthetized in advance.

A large number of physical sign monitoring instruments were used to monitor various changes in the experimental monkeys during the experiment.

At the same time, the experimental monkeys have also been placed in supporting equipment for human hibernation experiments in advance.

In a transparent cabin similar to an ice coffin,

Naturally, this 'ice coffin' was temporarily named the 'hibernation cabin'.

In addition to the various supporting instruments and equipment of the hibernating cabin, the whole thing is quite a huge thing, occupying about half the space of a normal room.

"...let's begin."

"At 3:32 pm Capital Time, the experiment begins."

Simply record the start time of the experiment,

The first use of hibernating substances in animals,

The first implementation of the hibernation plan has begun.

Researchers used injections to

For experimental animals, one dose of 544 complex was administered.

Then,

The entire experiment has entered the observation stage.

The specific operators retreated to the side, and Mo Dao and several academicians nearby did not communicate with each other anymore.

Just pay attention to the data changes detected by various instruments in real time.

At the beginning, the most intuitive change is,

"The experimental target's heart rate continues to weaken."

"The 545 complex should have been synthesized in animals."

The instruments in the experimental hibernation cabin automatically extracted a biological sample.

During the course of the experiment, the research team also paid close attention to testing the inspection materials.

"...The test results confirm that the 545 complex has been produced in large quantities in the animal body."

and then,

Gradually there are some more microscopic changes,

The physiological metabolism levels of experimental animals began to gradually decrease.

At lower levels, cellular activity begins to weaken.

545 complex, which is the hibernation substance predicted by theory, plays a role.

Let the creatures that use hibernation substances begin to move closer to this extreme hibernation state.

This process does not go quickly;

Even said,

Relatively slow.

From the use of 544 complex to the emergence of large amounts of 545 complex in animals,

Then it completely enters a borderline state of ultra-low metabolism and almost complete stagnation of physiological activities.

Entering the hibernation state expected by theory,

It took more than 30 hours in total.

Within 30 hours, none of the researchers, including Mo Dao, left the laboratory.

I just took turns sitting on the seat next to me and took a short rest for two to three hours.

"...confirm that the experimental target has entered hibernation and close the hibernation chamber."

After a series of inspections,

This hibernation chamber is enclosed.

Different from the traditional hibernation cabin concept,

The hibernation chamber of the human hibernation project team only plays an auxiliary role in the hibernation state.

Mainly to ensure that after the human body or animal enters hibernation state,

The body in hibernation is not affected or damaged by the outside world.

The temperature of the hibernation chamber is indeed below zero, but it is not as extremely low as imagined in traditional hibernation projects.

The main thing to ensure is a constant environment.

Creatures in hibernating state can be said to be very fragile.

Exposed to a natural environment, there is a high probability that hibernation will become permanent sleep.

The relationship between 545 complex and hibernation chamber,

Basically, it goes into hibernation first and then gets 'frozen'.

Entering hibernation does not mean that organisms have completely lost all physiological activities.

Only at the microscopic level, this kind of activity has become extremely slow and very weak.

…

After the hibernation cabin is closed,

After observing the data observed by various instruments and equipment for a while,

After confirming that all data are basically within theoretical expectations,

This time the animal experiment has come to an end for the time being.

This is a hibernation experiment,

Naturally, it is impossible for the experimental target to wake up just after entering hibernation.

According to the research team’s plan,

This hibernation experiment will take two months.

Two months later, another key step in the hibernation plan, hibernation awakening, will be implemented.

After confirming that this phase of the experiment has been successfully completed,

All the researchers at the scene raised their hands and applauded, and there was a round of applause.

"...I really wish that hibernation technology could be used on me now, so that I can be frozen until two months later and see the experimental results directly."

Beside Mo Dao, an academician raised his hands to applaud and said with a smile,

"Then if this is possible, we don't need to do any more animal experiments."

The person next to him smiled and added another sentence, and everyone laughed.

Mo Dao did not participate in the chat among several people.

His eyes were mostly focused on the hibernation cabin that was already in operation.

…

During the two months when the experimental animals entered hibernation and stabilized in hibernation,

The entire research team on the human hibernation project has not completely stopped.

In addition to the laboratory responsible for hibernation experiments,

Other research teams are also further determining plans for awakening from hibernation.

Hibernation time is directly related to the 544 compound used, or the amount of 545 compound in the body.

However, other technical means are also needed for assistance.

To ensure that targets in hibernation can be awakened on time.

Furthermore,

During these two months,

After the Spring Festival of that year,

The human hibernation project team has also officially applied to conduct clinical experiments on human hibernation technology.

This step of application takes a little longer than usual.

The human hibernation plan itself requires many things to be considered.

When it really starts to affect people, there are even more things to consider.

Social ethics issues, changes in social trends of thought,

Has this era arrived when we can accept the birth of human hibernation technology?

These issues must be considered,

In other words, consideration of these issues has been ongoing.

but,

final,

The superiors still agreed to conduct clinical experiments on human hibernation technology.

It is just a requirement that animal experiments must be completed satisfactorily before they are allowed to proceed.

Under the coordination of the authorities,

The human hibernation project research team began clinical trials and recruited volunteers.
