Chapter 1769

The Alps are covered with snow all year round.

A valley, shrouded in mist, out of sight.

Medieval castles symbolize tradition and power. But antiquity is only deliberately left, as an evidence of the passage of time and the continuity of the family.

Inside the castle, it is comparable to a luxury top seven-star hotel.

In the bedroom on the third floor, the curtains are tight.

A skinny "man" lay on a gray velvet sheet.

His hair is sparse, but it is neatly combed, giving people a sense of organization.

His face was pale and frightening. But the face is full of scars, some old scars, a small amount of blisters and fresh ulcers.

The angle of the lips is very strange, the upper lip is very warped, the gums are atrophic, and the four canine teeth are sharp and sharp, a large section longer than the other teeth.

Black silk pajamas. The old man holds the sheets in his hands. His finger joints are stiff. It is not so much a human hand as an animal.

It's just not that hairy.

There is a drip rack at the head of the bed with a bag of whole blood hanging on it.

Domestic whole blood was phased out more than ten years ago and became component blood. If Zheng Ren were here, he would be curious to recall the last time he saw whole blood.

A young man sat at the head of the bed. He was so similar to the old man lying on the bed, but there were no blisters and ulcers on his face; The teeth are not as sharp as the old man's four teeth.

And he is full of vitality, in sharp contrast to the dying old man in bed.

"Father, Massachusetts, Hopkins, Mayo's response is not optimistic." The young man held some paper in his hand. His fingers were deformed and fell on the white paper. It was so eye-catching.

"All useless things." The old man shook his head. "With an investment of three billion dollars a year, there has been no progress in research. It has been more than 100 years, but there has been no good news."

He paused, sighed and said, "forget it, I'm used to it."

Young humanist: "I will urge them again."

"It's no use. You try not to go out. The damn ultraviolet light is really a headache." The old man said, "I estimate that I will soon end my mission and meet my ancestors. You will take over everything next. You have performed well in the past 50 years and are the right person. Unfortunately, it is not easy to run a big family."

"Father, you should keep an optimistic attitude." Looking at the young, in fact, age is a mystery. The young man didn't go on with the words of the family patriarch, but raised the paper in his hand and said, "recently, the third tenured professor of Massachusetts General Hospital has a candidate. Their suggestion is to let the new tenured professor diagnose and treat you."

"Who are those old-fashioned little guys looking for? Henry? No, Henry is in London, and Henry has come to see him. He can't help it at all." The old man guessed only one name, and he remained silent.

The family's special constitution is like this. When it brings him unlimited benefits, it will also have some disadvantages.

But these benefits definitely do not include immortality.

His body endured many years, and finally he couldn't endure it.

Although the family has been acquiring, establishing and participating in hospitals all over the world for hundreds of years. The blood bank of the whole European and American continent was almost open to them, but blood transfusion and oral blood could not keep him alive for another 100 years.

"Money can buy blood, but not life." The old man said a proverb from his hometown, but was interrupted by the young man, "father, modern science and technology progress is very fast. You should keep your confidence."

"Confidence?" The old man's voice was a little vague and his expression was a little dull, far less vivid than the young people sitting next to him.

"That's a very interesting young man, not yet thirty."

"Those little guys in Massachusetts are finally willing to lower their arrogant heads and admit that someone is better than them?" After the old man said a few words, his energy was overdrawn, and his voice became more and more vague.

The young man picked up a cup beside him. The cup was full of bright red liquid. It smelled like blood full of vitality.

The old man drank the red liquid in the cup, but he didn't recover quickly as before, just a little better.

"Very interesting young man, Dr. mehar nominated him as this year's Nobel Prize in medicine, and I refuse." Young humanist: "according to the rules you made ten years after the end of World War II, surgery is not good for our health. Basic research can find and solve problems, which is a kind of guidance."

After drinking the bright red and bloody liquid, the old man closed his eyes and didn't speak.

His deformed fingers trembled more and more, his eyes closed slowly, but his eyelids moved constantly.

Nearly three minutes later, he took a breath and said, "what does that little guy Mehal think?"

"He has his own opinion that the clinical operation cannot win the Nobel Prize, but as you said, the investment of billions of dollars a year has lasted for hundreds of years, but he still can't see hope." Young humanist: "he is old and wants to challenge our authority at the last moment of his life."

"That's impossible. If he wants to die, I can fulfill his wish right away." The old man said.

"But this little guy is very interesting. Here is his information." The young man handed over some white papers.

But the old man didn't answer.

His eyes were half closed and half open, and his eyes turned quickly and slowly.

The vitality of life passed slowly in his body, and now the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry.

It seems that when a gust of wind blows, the candle of life will be blown out.

The young man didn't speak or move, so he was deadlocked.

"Why do you insist?" After a long time, the old man's voice sounded like a bat in the night cave.

"Father, I haven't finished yet." The young man smiled and said, "this young man is helping the Royal Academy of Sciences solve the problem of turbulence. Even the president of the Academy of Sciences went to see the king."

"Turbulence? A meaningless study."

"For us, but for those poor people, it's another situation." The young man said, "this Chinese young man has been appointed by Massachusetts General Hospital, which proves that he has become one of the most popular in the medical industry. I insist on my suggestion and ask him to show you."

"It's useless."

"It's always good to try." Young humanist: "lifelong Professor, you are qualified to enter this ancient castle."

"I am old and tired. Living in this world is very painful every day. Now I have begun to look forward to seeing my ancestors, but what I hope to do has not been achieved."

"The consultation..."

"You see, you will be the patriarch in half a year. Now I have to respect your opinion." The old man murmured.

The young man bowed away.
