Star Technology and Jinling Institute of higher learning, because of the neural access virtual reality technology, has once again become the focus of attention all over the world.

Generally speaking, as a legal person of Star Technology and Jinling Institute of higher learning, Lu Zhou should stand in front of the camera to respond to the public's expectations even if he doesn't call the opening press conference, and then perfunctorily deal with the concerns of some people who are full of nothing to do about the new technology.

But at the moment, he is not in the press conference, or where the spotlight, but quietly standing in a ward.

This ward has a special name. Its name is "cryodormancy Department".

In addition to the first freezer, he was also the terminally ill patient who had been transferred here in various ways for half a year.

Compared with the expensive ICU, the cost of freezing dormancy is relatively low.

Apart from the slightly more expensive Martian bacteria extract from the moon, the cost of electricity to keep the dormant device running is not expensive.

Of course, it's not expensive, and it's only relative to other treatments.

Just beside the "bed" not far from the land boat, stood a woman who was also visiting here.

Look at the age, the woman is about forty or fifty years old. Her right hand is holding a boy of about five or six years old. The fishtail pattern on the corner of her eyes can be seen with heartbreaking tears.

It was probably her husband who wanted to freeze there. The child standing next to him, though ignorant, was very sensible and silent.

Noticing the same boat standing here, the woman's face showed a touch of surprise and seemed to recognize his identity.

After a moment of hesitation, she took her son's hand and came forward, carefully asking.

"Hello, are you Academician Lu? "

The boat was silent for a while and nodded.

"Yes."

“…… Thank you. "

Looking at the woman who thanked him with gratitude, Lu Zhou shook his head and said.

"I'm not a doctor, you don't have to thank me."

"The doctor told us that you saved him And saved us. "

See what she seems to want to say, the boat didn't talk, just looked at her, quietly waiting for her to continue to say.

"We In fact, there is no money, "said the woman, with a bitter expression on her face, as if she had recalled what happened not long ago. She said," in order to cure the child's father, we sold the house and spent almost all our savings, but we still can't bear it. Just a few months ago, my father told me that if I couldn't do it, I'd better leave some for my child, but how could I... "

The lips and shoulders trembled, and the woman's voice choked. It seemed that she was drinking a cup of bitter wine. She took a deep breath and finally squeezed out a reluctant smile on her face.

"It's much better to say it Anyway, thank you Thank you very much! "

“…… Anyway, it's good that he's alive. "

"I'm going to take Lele back to my hometown for school. It's probably the last time I've come to see him. The doctor said that the hospital there must be able to cure him. Let me believe it If only he could be safe in the future, I hope he could smoke less and work less. Remember to eat breakfast on time and don't miss me too much... "

It seems that she realized that she had nagged some boring trivia to strangers, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face, pulling her son's hand to cover up her embarrassment.

“…… Say thank you to my uncle. "

The little boy blinked his big innocent eyes, stared at the boat and said timidly.

"Thank you, uncle."

Rarely did not care about the child called his uncle, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled, reached out and rubbed his hair.

"I have nothing to thank. The person you really should thank is beside you. Please take care of her for your father."

The boy looked up at the boat and said, "where's my father? Can he still wake up? "

“…… It's up to you. "

Looking at the boy's confused nod, Lu Zhou gives him an encouraging look, and then takes back his right hand.

The mother and son said goodbye to him and turned away.

However, when she got to the door, the woman suddenly stopped, turned around and watched the boat bow deeply, then led her son away quickly.

Far away, in the corridor outside the Department, there was a voice of mother and son talking.

"Mom Who is that uncle? "

"It's a scientist."

"Scientists? Well, I also want to be a scientist... "

The sound gradually far away, along with the step sound gradually far away, disappeared in the end of the corridor together.

The heavy hearted boat sighed softly and took back its sight from the door.

He doesn't like the ward very much.

Just standing here, he could read the unspeakable sadness from the heavy air.After waiting for a long time in silence, footsteps finally came from behind.

Looking back at the doctor who appeared at the door, he said.

"How was the test result?"

“…… Here. "

Taking the physical examination report from the doctor, Lu Zhou glanced at it in a hurry, and a trace of disappointment soon appeared on his face.

Although he knew from the beginning that it was an extravagant hope to hope that people in the frozen sleeping cabin could sleep and connect the virtual reality network through the brain waves sent out by the unconscious, his mood fell to the bottom when the report was presented to him.

Unless you defrost half the brain.

But there is no doubt that it is quite dangerous.

Looking at the land boat with its eyes fixed on the report, the doctor asked, "can I help you with your interpretation?"

“…… No more. " Taking a deep breath with his nose, Lu Zhou folded the physical examination report and stuffed it into his pocket. "I've got the general information, and it's causing you trouble."

"No," said the doctor with a smile, "we should thank you for the cryodormancy technology, as well as the neural access mechanical prosthesis, which has saved many young families and lives."

"Is it?"

There was no positive response to this sentence, just dropped a noncommittal response, and the boat looked away from the doctor's face to the sleeping cabin not far away.

The frost reflected on the glass is like a layer of mist as thin as light yarn, which separates not only space but also time.

The expression on the doctor's face was a little regretful, he sighed and said softly.

"Would you like to be alone for a moment?"

“…… Well. "

The doctor nodded, said nothing, and turned away from the door.

As the doctor left, there was only one person left in the Department.

Looking at the stable sleeping cabin, the boat was silent for a while, and suddenly opened its mouth.

"I came to see you."

"The next topic is the great unity of algebra and Geometry As a matter of fact, I have some ideas. "

The Adam's Apple moved. Lu Zhou intended to say something, but he finally shook his head with a smile.

"Forget it..."

"Even if I read you my thoughts now, you can't hear me."

"I'll keep this suspense for a century."

"When you get there, you can see my paper. As my most proud student, I believe that with your intelligence, even if no one tells you, you can understand what I want to say. "

After staying in the ward for a long time, Lu zhoucai turned around and left until the nurses on duty came to check the operation of the sleeping cabin.

……

After leaving the hospital, Lu Zhou got on Wang Peng's car at the door.

Put out the cigarette end, Wang Peng skillfully started the car.

"Where to?"

"Airport."

"Back to Jinling?"

"Well."

Originally, I was going to stay in Beijing for two days. By the way, I visited my old friends here, but I suddenly lost my mood. I'd better go back and shut up.

Anyway, most of his old friends also know that he is not the kind of person who likes to actively contact feelings, and no one will blame him for not visiting.

The car drove on the road, there was no communication between the two people along the way.

It seems that the atmosphere is a little dreary. Wang Peng takes the initiative to say something.

"It seems that you are being talked about online, and that virtual reality technology."

"Well."

"You don't seem very interested?"

"I'm interested, but I'm not in the mood now."

At this time, the phone rang.

Take out the mobile phone, scan the name on the caller ID, and Lu Zhou frowns.

If it's normal, he doesn't mind talking with people he doesn't know very well, but he's not in that mood now. What's more, when he was in the hospital just now, he hung up the phone once, but now he has called again.

As if seeing the expression on his face, the phone ring was cut off instantly, and there was no sign of calling again.

Wang Peng looked in the rearview mirror and asked.

"Is it OK if you don't pick it up?"

"It's OK," Lu said casually, throwing his mobile phone aside. "It's not an important role anyway."
