Chapter 1038 Time Machine

in the same ward.

In the open dormant cabin, there was already a thin girl in a hospital gown made of special material. The pale silver sheet with the texture of tinfoil was covering her body, setting off the pitiful face, exuding a kind of tranquility similar to Sleeping Beauty.

Standing beside this special "sick bed", Lu Zhou handed a stack of messy documents to her.

"...This is a household registration document, which needs your signature."

Vera tilted her head: "Hukou?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said: "Well, you are a Fields Medal winner. Although we are not an immigrant country, this has never been a problem for talents. I have contacted Dean Goddard of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and asked He explained the situation. Now that your job has been transferred from Princeton to Jinling University, I am sorry to change your job without authorization, but after all, you have to stay here for a long time, and it may not be convenient to use a work visa all the time.”

The visa issue may be small or small, and it may be big or big. Although it is not obvious that there is any trouble now, if it is not solved properly, it will be a hidden danger in a few decades.

What's more, it's not difficult for Lu Zhou to solve one account.

Not to mention that both Jinling University and Jinling Institute for Advanced Study have quotas for the introduction of foreign talents, but there is no such supporting policy. Scholars at the Fields Medal level are rushing to be placed in any domestic university.

The Russians are also one of the fifty-six ethnic groups, and there is no problem that they cannot be integrated. And I believe that the future society will be more tolerant of issues of race, skin color, and cultural differences. After she wakes up at that time, she should be able to successfully integrate into the society here.

Even if he knew that most of the plans could not keep up with the changes, and all the preparations made now might not be effective in a century, Lu Zhou still arranged all these things for her.

Seeing that Lu Zhou blinked, Vera didn't say anything, picked up the pen obediently, and obediently signed the document.

Seeing that she did not resist, Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"...I don't need to apply for an ID card now. I'll make it up for you when you wake up. Here's the letter of consent for the treatment and--don't you even look at it?"

Looking at Vera, who signed all the documents without looking at them, Lu Zhou, who was going to explain to her one by one what each document was, didn't know what to say for a while. .

To Lu Zhou's surprise, Vera just blinked and showed a gentle smile.

"I believe you."

Saying that, she returned the pen in her hand to Lu Zhou's.

"So...the business should be done now, right?"

After taking the pen and stuffing it into his arms, Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"...Well, it's all here."

"By the way, my savings... Although it's not much, can I send it to my father for me? In this case, I don't need a will or something, right?"

Looking at the little girl lying on the hospital bed, Lu Zhou opened his mouth subconsciously, ready to say something, but he still held back.

He had planned to tell her that it was the one who wanted to end her life when she was comatose. But thinking that he was about to say goodbye to this era, he finally held back.

It is not something to be happy in itself, and it will not leave any traces in this world at all.

If it is not necessary, it is better not to carry it into the future.

After annihilating those unnecessary words into silence, Lu Zhou nodded lightly and continued.

"Okay, I'll help you...Is there anything else?"

Time is running out.

The extract of X-0172 bacterial pheromone takes about half an hour to work. In order to let her not spend the last half hour of this era in the uneasy waiting, the nurses in the hospital have already brought the agreement. Inoculated her with the key to a hundred years later...

Lu Zhou didn't dare to look at the time, but it was estimated that it was too soon.

Vera: "Actually... not anymore, but you said so, I want to make one last request, maybe a little willful... Is it okay?"

Lu Zhou: "...you say it."

Seeing that Lu Zhou agreed, her cheeks gradually stained with a blush.

"Remember one Christmas? The one you spent in your Princeton cottage..."

Although she didn't know why she suddenly talked about such a distant thing, Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"I remember, what happened?"

"That morning, before I put the wet towel on your head, I actually..."

Biting her lower lip lightly, her expression seemed to be hesitant, whether to tell the secret.

But maybe she thought that if she didn't say it now, she might not have that opportunity in the future. After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind and plucked up the courage to say.

"Actually, I... At that time, I stole a kiss from you."

Lu Zhou: "???"

When she said this, Vera kept secretly looking at Lu Zhou's face, observing his reaction.

She seemed to be taken aback by his unexpected expression, and she also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly added in a low voice.

"Don't, don't think about it... Of course, it's the forehead."

Lu Zhou: "..."

No wonder...

The morning he woke up from the hangover, he felt something warm and moist on his forehead, but the towel on his head was cold. Although it seemed strange at the time, he didn't take it too seriously.

Now that Vera suddenly mentioned this matter, he finally understood what happened at that time...

"Maybe, at that time, I really admired and relied on you more, so I secretly did such a thing..."

"Sometimes I also worry about whether it is love or not, and what is the result I really expect."

"So... I really thank you for allowing me to think about this issue calmly and distinguish the difference between dependence and liking."

Lu Zhou nodded: "Then... can you tell the difference now?"

A smile appeared on Vera's face.

"Well, sure enough... I like it."

Although it is already known, but hearing her say this sentence, Lu Zhou's heartbeat can't help but accelerate half a beat.

Without explaining what that willful request was, she gently closed her eyes and raised her chin slightly.

"If you can...don't let me say it."

Looking at the lightly trembling eyelashes, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and finally stretched out his right hand to gently brush away the thin bangs, leaned over and touched her forehead gently.

A faint scent of jasmine blossomed on the tip of the nose, and the good smell made Lu Zhou a little lost for a while.

And Vera, who was lying in the dormant cabin, reacted more directly. From the white neck to the earlobe, the entire face was dyed red in an instant.

Those eyes opened.

In the eyes as clear as the surface of the lake, layers of ripples and the reflection of a certain person swayed.

There was a bit of overwhelmed excitement and shyness in her voice, her chest heaving up and down quickly, and she whispered with a blushing face.

"I feel...I may not be able to freeze."

Standing up straight again, Lu Zhou was silent for a while and said: "The physical freezing is the last step. Before that, you will fall asleep and not even feel cold. Then wake up again..."

The throat moved slightly.

Even though he had made all the psychological preparations, even though he had completely calmed down, he suddenly couldn't speak for the second half of the sentence for some reason.

However, someone picked it up for him.

"Then...is there a new world over there?"

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes...for you, it's just a blink of an eye."

No matter how much time has passed outside, it is only a moment for those who are sleeping.

The waiting process is not very long.

Maybe it's just one time closing and opening one time, and the hundred years have passed.

Gently shaking her gradually heavy head, Vera tried her best to widen her eyes and stared at him intently, as if she wanted to completely engrave this last picture in her mind.

"But I don't want to close it. If I don't blink, can I not go to the future..."

"Please don't be willful..."

"But I... still want to be self-willed once... I will try my best not to blink..."

"Feel sorry……"

The voice gradually disappeared.

Instead, there is even breathing and a peaceful sleeping face.

Standing silently beside the dormant cabin, Lu Zhou stared at the beautiful and peaceful face, and did not speak for a long time. It wasn't until Professor Liu Zuobing, who was standing beside him, reminded him softly that he realized that everything was over.

"She's already asleep."

"The pheromone released by the X-0172 bacteria is protecting the host cells from dormancy... The inoculation was successful."

"You should be happy for her."

Standing beside Wang Peng, he didn't say anything, just patted Lu Zhou's shoulder lightly, conveying this silent comfort in a man's way.

Lu Zhou took a deep breath, stretched out his trembling right hand, and closed her eyes.

"……let's start."

Without saying anything superfluous, Professor Liu Zuobing nodded silently.

"OK."

...

The hibernation work has already started.

Stepping back to the side, Lu Zhou quietly looked at the busy laboratory and the "time machine" that had already started running, without saying a word.

Standing aside and looking at Lu Zhou, Academician Zhao Zhongjun coughed lightly and tried to comfort him.

"Be optimistic, we are in an era of explosive development, and even controllable fusion technology is available. Maybe we can kill cancer in seventy years at most... Heh, but at that time you are probably old enough. already."

Standing behind Academician Zhao, the nurse who was taking care of Vera during this time raised her cuff and wiped the corner of her eyes.

"For Ms. Vera... age doesn't matter, she's real..."

"Don't talk!"

After being reprimanded by the academician, the little nurse closed her mouth and stopped talking.

This is impossible, regardless of age.

To be honest, compared to the frozen patient, Academician Zhao Zhongjun was really worried about Lu Zhou.

Most of the people who are good at learning are single-minded, and it is not entirely because of talent that ordinary people can't do university studies, but more because their hearts are impetuous, and they can't stand the loneliness that sees no light before dawn.

Although he is an outsider who has no position to say this, if Lu Zhou really intends to wait for seventy years, even if he does not intend to leave offspring...

Standing next to the console, he directed the researchers to complete the start-up procedure of the dormant capsule. Looking at the dormant capsule that was gradually covered with frost, Professor Liu Zuobing suddenly thought of something and said.

"By the way...are we going to make this public?"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, thinking about what his father had said to him before, and said.

"Let's make it public."

"She's a Fields Medal winner...whether or not, it's impossible to be cold. If we don't tell the truth, people who are hostile to us will think we are doing something shady."

"Besides, there's nothing to hide."
