…
call! !
An unprecedented heat wave is coming!
Lin Xian felt the temperature on his face soar rapidly, and small beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead!
"So hot!"
Lin Xian reluctantly opened his eyes...
The loud chirping of cicadas hit the eardrums, and the scorching sun shone vertically, causing the shadows to shrink timidly into a ball at their feet.
Look up to the sky.
A scorching sun occupies half of the sky. It is so dazzling that it is impossible to look straight at it, and fleeting black spots have appeared on the retina.
Lin Xian lowered his head and rubbed his eyes:
"It's been a long time since I've been daydreaming. I'm still a little uncomfortable with this temperature."
He estimated that the current temperature may have exceeded 40 degrees. Compared with the cold winter in the real world...it is really a world of ice and fire.
He quickly ran to the shade of a tree and felt cooler.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the electronic notice board next to him. The time displayed——
【August 28, 2624】
【13:33】
"It's half past one, it's still early."
Lin Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and couldn't help but want to go to the library to turn on the air conditioner.
Maybe it's because it's too hot at noon.
Not a single person could be seen in this usually bustling square.
He walked along the shade of the trees to the bus stop and got on the bus to the library.
In this 23-year dream.
Lin Xian rarely comes here.
He only has 3 or 4 hours a day to play in his dreams. Time is so precious, why not play more interesting things? Or do something big? How can you waste precious computer time in the library?
The only time he came here was to figure out why there was no development in technology in the dream.
Lin Xian realized this very unreasonable phenomenon when he was in junior high school. During that time, he thought of many ways and made a lot of efforts to find out the truth in his dreams.
As a result, a lot of information was consulted, and almost all reports, history books, commentators, and news focused on social issues.
say what:
"A deformed education system is destined to fail to screen out real geniuses!"
"Students are unable to learn useful knowledge in school, resulting in talent being buried."
“The scientific community is in stasis, and young people are highly profit-seeking and unwilling to engage in scientific research industries with lower salaries.”
"There is also a problem in academia itself! There are too many academic cliques, the academic circle is stuck in its ways, and truly talented scholars will be squeezed out!"
…
Lin also asked many passers-by, and everyone kept saying the same thing over and over again, complaining about various injustices and believing that the reason why science and technology has not developed or even regressed for hundreds of years is all due to the flaws of various systems.
Lin Xian didn't quite believe this statement at the time.
He doesn't think that the development of science and technology must rely on these things. Real geniuses will not be constrained by the education system. It can't be that no genius scientist has appeared in the past 600 years, right?
But he refused to accept it. This was how it was set in the dream. At the same time, there was no other supporting information, so Lin Xian could only accept it silently.
After all... considering that the dream was false at the time, there was no need to be realistic in such details.
"But looking at it now, things are definitely not that simple."
Lin Xian shook his head.
After Professor Xu Yun and the matter of verifying the dream are over... he will make a comeback to find out the truth about this issue.
…
On the first floor of the library, there is an electronic reading room where readers can check information and book locations.
Lin Xian opened the browser and typed in the column [Has the hibernation chamber been successfully developed now? 】
clatter.
Press the Enter key.
squeak……
squeak……
squeak……
The host made a tired sound, and the display page refreshed slowly.
The computer has some glitches, a common problem with public computers.
Lin Xian glanced at it and saw that there were seven anti-virus software programs in the lower right corner, one after another, the sky was dark and the ground was dark and shocking.
After more than ten seconds, it was completed and a lot of results came out.
The first result highlighted a line of bold black text——
[To this day, the hibernation cabin has still not been successfully developed. 】
Um.
Sure enough, the dream world was not successfully developed.
This result is not surprising at all.
Based on the level of technological development in the dream and in 2022, it would be crazy to invent a hibernation cabin.
Lin Xian clicked on the first result——
This is a long article. Although it looks like it was put together by a marketing account, it still contains some useful information:
[Due to the slow development or even regression of human science and technology after the 21st century... research on hibernation technology in various countries around the world started late.
To talk about the beginning of hibernation technology truly entering people's horizons and turning from science fiction to reality, it must be in 2477 AD. The American scientist Dr. Michelson successfully developed a device that can maintain human body activity for a long time and hinder--\u003e\u003e
A liquid with high dissolved oxygen formed from cell ice crystals. This liquid was later proven to be useful as a filling fluid for hibernating chambers.
Since then, for the first time, mankind has seen the hope of conquering hibernation cabins. Countries all over the world have devoted a lot of manpower and material resources to establish special research institutes and devote themselves to researching hibernation cabin-related technologies.
But contrary to expectations, in the next hundred years or so, there has been no breakthrough in hibernation-related technologies. Humanity still has a long way to go before the dream of hibernating across time and space.
Therefore, Dr. Michelson's research ignited the fire of hibernation technology, but also became the swan song of hibernation technology. In order to commemorate this great pioneer, later generations of scholars honored Dr. Michelson as——
The father of hibernation. 】
…
"There really is a father of hibernation."
Lin Xian felt as if there was something in his crow's mouth.
But it was exactly what he thought.
In 2624 AD, although the hibernation cabin was still far away, the hibernation cabin filling fluid was indeed developed.
"Dr. Michelson, on behalf of Professor Xu Yun, thank you."
Lin Xian bowed to the computer screen and finally received Dr. Michelson's authorization.
"Then next, just find Dr. Michelson's relevant papers, academic reports and the like."
Lin Xian closed the web page and opened the library's book management system.
There are two words "hibernation" in it.
Many book results pop up, followed by detailed placement floors, areas, and bookshelf numbers.
The books are diverse.
There are science fiction novels, comics, academic journals, and news reports.
Lin Xian checked one by one and quickly found his target——
"A Brief Analysis and Prospects of Hibernation Technology" by Bill Michelson
"You are the one."
Lin Xian looked at the notes at the back:
Book display location: 7th floor of bookshelf No. 67, area C, scientific works on the 3rd floor.
Lin Xian got up and headed to the third floor.
Soon, I found Brother Michelson's works on the corresponding bookshelf.
""Brief Analysis and Prospects of Hibernation Technology""
Lin Xian looked at the title on the cover:
"Brief analysis... You'd better write it simply, at least let me understand the key points..."
This book looks a bit old, but the inside is still very new. It must have never been read by anyone.
Lin Xian found a seat by the window and sat down and started reading.
His memory was limited and he couldn't bring much out of the dream, so he could only try to avoid the important things and get some key information back to Professor Xu Yun.
Look at the first few pages.
He felt the good intentions of this big man Michelson.
It can be seen that Boss Michelson really wants everyone to understand the principles and application process of hibernation technology. He used a lot of easy-to-understand words to explain proper nouns and chemical phenomena, which made it not difficult for Lin Xian to understand.
The book says...
The principle of hibernation in the human body is to reduce the efficiency of all physiological activities and cell activities to the lowest level and to be infinitely close to stopping, but it can never really stop.
The best solution is cryogenic freezing.
To achieve a good cryo-hibernation effect, the human body must be frozen to below minus 120 degrees Celsius.
However, the contradiction arises here.
Human cells contain a large amount of water. Water will freeze below 0 degrees Celsius, and the [ice crystals] formed during the freezing process (Note 1) have devastating effects on cell structures and will directly pierce the cell membrane and kill them. cells, making them inactive.
Note 1: Ice crystals refer to the snowflake-like spike-shaped structures formed during the freezing process of water, which can easily pierce cells.
Although the instant freezing technology allows ice crystals to condense directly into ice before they have time to form, protecting the cell structure from being destroyed.
But the second problem arises.
When freezing a human body, it is true that it can be frozen quickly, but what about when it is thawed?
When thawing, there will undoubtedly be a process where the temperature slowly rises to close to zero degrees Celsius. During this process, [ice crystals] will still inevitably form, and the cell structure will still inevitably be destroyed.
In a body where all the cells in the body are destroyed, brain cells, nerve cells, body cells, and red blood representative cells all rupture and lose activity... This is no different from complete death, and there is absolutely no possibility of waking up.
"Uh-huh……"
Lin Xian watched with gusto.
At least so far, this part of the principle is still completely understandable.
"So, how to solve the [ice crystal] problem?"
Wow.
Lin Xian turned the book to the next page. 39288539.
