Chapter 1225 The lively hibernators
This time, it was no longer just a small group of people who were shocked.
Especially for people who have been hibernated, they still act like normal people, surfing the Internet and arguing with everyone. The feeling of disobedience is so strong!
There is a hibernator whose online name is [Gan’s God]. If you scroll through her posts online over the past two years, you can still see her previous unfortunate encounters——
Just because he was restless, he jumped down from the six steps and was hit by a pebble on his heel. A few days later, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
She was so frightened by this disaster that she immediately underwent surgery.
But not long after the operation, lymphatic metastasis was detected again, and there was no way to save it.
Netizens can clearly see from her dynamic history her positive sunshine in the past, her failure to recover after being hit by this blow, and finally her calmness and regret in having no choice but to accept her fate and wait for death indifferently.
But late at night two days ago, she suddenly posted a new update——
[Hahahaha, I’m back! ! ! Is anyone online dating? ! A beautiful girl who never grows old! ]
This funny language style formed a huge contrast with the previous heavy and depressive dynamics. At that time, her friends had questions on their heads.
Now, because of the topic "Is hibernation technology real?", she once again came out to make various "violent comments", and her friends finally understood what was going on.
Of course, now netizens also understand——
This girl has completed hibernation surgery, and her body has entered hibernation, which has stopped the progression of malignant melanoma on her body.
Although she may have to live with illusory ideology for many years to come, she is still extremely grateful to be able to continue to live and is full of gratitude for hibernation technology.
It is for this reason that she posted, "Of course it's true, don't you dare to bet! The loser will live broadcast and eat a hundred bitter melons raw!" "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will wake you up and pee 50 times in the middle of the night today!"... …wait for the outrage.
Because she really doesn't want to see hibernation technology being questioned and slandered in any way.
Although she also encountered a lot of attacks because of this, compared to the despair of walking towards death step by step, this online controversy was just a splash, and she didn't take it to heart at all.
Now that the truth has been revealed, a group of people came to apologize, and many people screamed and posted their messages in the comment area asking for online dating.
Because of the virtual world, the form of "online love" is no longer the platonic love that can only be made through phone calls, video chats, and long-distance love.
Whether it is the closeness of emotional connection, the scale of physical intimacy, or the outside world's recognition of online dating, there have been earth-shaking changes!
To sum it up in one sentence: Today’s “online love” is almost different from real love.
A [couple contract] in the virtual world is even more reliable than a declaration in a circle of friends in the real world.
Seeing this, [Oh God] changed his face at the speed of light and changed his name to - [Immortal Unicorn]! She has transformed back into a sunny and cute girl, and it seems she is really planning to find sweet love online.
There are more than one such example - of course, this refers to people who were "originally dying but suddenly underwent hibernation surgery and escaped their fate of death", not people who "started dating online just after surgery"...
These living cases make "hibernation" no longer a distant science fiction concept, but a living fact full of life.
As a result, everyone's enthusiasm and curiosity about this matter have become stronger and stronger.
But no matter how everyone called, Lin You never bubbled up.
So a large number of reporters took action to try to obtain first-hand real information.
But in Xia Jing's key hospitals, you can't just go in for interviews. Without making an appointment in advance, doctors and nurses who are too busy every day don't have time to accept interviews.
The reporters then divided into two groups. One group called to make an appointment, while the other group began to contact the lively "hibernators."
Netizens are also chasing these hibernators and asking questions, and their curiosity is overwhelming.
Some netizens with professional backgrounds in medicine and sociology discussed the impact of this technology.
There are those who exaggerate and those who belittle, each holding his own opinion.
It is said that this is another major social benefit created by Lin You after [brain-controlled prostheses]. In the future, like social security, it will be extended to all citizens, and it can immediately increase the average life expectancy of the people.
And "the average life expectancy of the people has increased" is an iron-clad and unquestionable great achievement!
The derogatory point is that once hibernators appear on a large scale, the cumulative number will become a black hole that continuously swallows up social goods. The initial impact may not be significant, but decades or hundreds of years later, it will cause a huge social burden.
Pros and cons: [Hibernation Warehouse] is about the same size as [Game Warehouse]. The daily cost of maintaining a hibernator is far lower than the cost of maintaining life for terminally ill patients - the latter can make a family instantly bankrupt and return to poverty. The cost of electricity and nutrition would be too much to spend even in 100 years.
The opponent insisted: What about 200 years?
Don’t be fooled by the pros and cons: Then why don’t you talk about the creation of new industries around the needs of hibernators and the positive benefits that will arise from it? Do you know how much can happen in 200 years?
…
The two sides of the debate had a lively conversation.
But because of Lin You's request, all those who underwent hibernation in the first step were terminally ill patients in the hospital. At least no one would think that they should not be saved.
It is precisely because of this that [hibernation technology] was generally regarded as a blessing when it first appeared.
Even the opponents just feel that the number of hibernators must be limited, and this group cannot be allowed to expand indefinitely, otherwise it may cause huge negative impacts in the future.
This is an excellent start for such a sensitive technology.
So Lin You sat quietly on Diaoyutai, watching the discussions and arguments among netizens quietly, without intending to say anything at the end.
Anyway, in two days’ time, when the overseas “Hibernator Quota Auction” begins, the direction of public opinion will inevitably change.
Nowadays, those netizens on the Internet who hold slightly opposing opinions may jump back on the spot and join the opposite camp!
——If the result of limiting the number of hibernators is to make hibernation a privilege of a few powerful people...
It might as well become social security! Let everyone use it fairly!
The problems that arise one or two hundred years from now will be left to future generations to solve!
Isn’t that just believing in the wisdom of future generations?
And if hibernation technology is really so unbelievable that I will live one or two hundred years later, I will have to face the subsequent problems...
Then I’ll accept it even if it costs me something!
It’s not like we haven’t encountered problems left over from history, and we can withstand one more.
