Chapter 1036 - Everything Is Possible
1036 Everything Is Possible
301 Hospital.
Inside a clinical medical research center was a 100 square meter laboratory, and sitting in the middle of the laboratory was a large piece of medical equipment that was around 2 meters tall and 3 meters wide.
On the outside, this piece of equipment looked like a CT scanner, the only difference was that, instead of having a simple bed in which the patient lay on, the device had a space-coffin-like bed.
This equipment was sent from the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study cryobiology laboratory to Beijing by air, and it took the cryobiology laboratory researchers three days to assemble the equipment.
Standing next to Professor Liu Zuobing was Zhao Zhongji, who once led a team of international experts in taking care of Lu Zhou, as well as cancer experts and staff members from the 301 Hospital.
For the people from the 301 Hospital, whether they were academician experts or a nurse, their understanding of cryobiology only came from reading papers in journals.
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study had never disclosed their research in this area. Hence the reason why this machine looked so strange to them.
Zhao Zhongji looked at the science-fiction-like machine for a long time and suddenly sighed.
“Freezing the patient in order to cure an incurable disease in the future... If this thing really works, it will change the entire medical field.”
For most people, if they were put under freezing cold temperatures, they would be on the verge of death within a few hours.
Not to mention the long-term freezing dormancy would take years.
The incurable disease would be cured by doctors of the future.
If there was unlimited time, any problem was solvable.
Just like how a hundred years ago the medical community had yet to master effective antibacterial drugs like penicillin, but now someone with pulmonary tuberculosis wouldn’t even have to stay overnight in the hospital.
If a patient was sent a century into the future, perhaps their terminal illness wouldn’t be a problem anymore, and perhaps a common prescription medicine prescribed by a family doctor would cure the illness.
Lu Zhou looked at the machine and said, “Maybe, but this wasn’t actually intended for medical use.”
Zhao Zhongji looked at Lu Zhou.
“Then what was it for?”
Lu Zhou: “For interstellar travel on the scale of light-years.”
Academician Zhao Zhongji was dumbfounded. The staff of the 301 Hospital was also shocked.
Interstellar scale...
Even though the Moon Palace was now a reality, this still sounded like something out of a science fiction movie...
“I’ve realized the field of aerospace really creates so many amazing technologies...” Academician Zhao Zhongji sighed and said, “Regardless, on behalf of patients with incurable illnesses, I have to thank you.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “It is too early to thank me, this might not work. Also, its ethics and morality will be questioned by society.”
This technology was far from being widely available. They hadn’t even gone through clinical trials, nor was it an approved piece of aerospace equipment.
However, people were selfish.
Lu Zhou was no exception.
Zhao Zhongji looked at Lu Zhou and went silent. He suddenly spoke confidently.
“I think this is a good thing.”
Lu Zhou looked at him and said, “Why?”
Zhao Zhongji said, “Controllable fusion has shut down half the coal mines, and hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs, do you regret doing this?”
“No, I talked about this on CTV.” Lu Zhou calmly said, “Maybe I indirectly caused some people to lose their jobs, but I also provided them a better life, a clean energy society with blue skies.
“Those people that complain about me are only enraged because they can no longer profit from the hard work of the people. This is China, we do things for the better good. Their complaints aren’t worth considering.”
“If you know that’s true, then why worry?” Academician Zhao Zhongji smiled and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder as he said, “Our society will eventually adapt to these novel technologies. You gave people a chance at a new life. I’m sure whether it’s the patients’ relatives or people from the future, they would like to thank you.”
“... Maybe.”
Lu Zhou wasn’t very interested in discussing this issue, but Academician Zhao Zhongji did reduce some of his concerns.
Thinking about it from another perspective, due to the current population growth trend, the aging of the population was an inevitable problem.
Perhaps those terminally-ill patients that could only consume valuable social resources could contribute to society in the future?
Maybe Lu Zhou was overthinking things.
If time could solve everything, then he shouldn’t worry.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Liu Zuobing and spoke in a calm voice.
“How long is it going to take?”
Professor Liu Zuobing was from the army general hospital, and he spoke with the mannerisms of a soldier.
He nodded seriously and spoke solemnly.
“The machine has already been assembled. The X-0172 bacteria samples have arrived from the Jinling sample library. If you want, we can begin now.”
“How long is the freezing process going to take?”
“Thirty minutes.”
Lu Zhou went silent for a while and spoke.
“Let’s begin soon.
“In twenty minutes.”
Professor Liu Zuobing nodded.
“No problem.”
