Chapter 1039 Cryotherapy Rights Protection Fund for Terminal Illness

The freezing hibernation procedure was carried out quite successfully.

With the help of Martian bacteria, Vera, who was lying in the dormant cabin, smoothly passed the dangerous temperature zone and successfully reached the optimal temperature for freezing dormancy.

It was a risky venture that didn't go through the full clinical trial approval process, but it was a real success.

However, it is still too early to start rejoicing that everything is going well. There are still piles of troubles waiting for Professor Liu Zuobing and his research team.

In fact, this is also Lu Zhou's trouble. After all, whether in name or in fact, he is the real academic leader of this project and the dean of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study who initiated this project.

It may be difficult for the public to immediately accept this information directly and at one time. After all, even in academia, cryo-dormancy technology is a very cutting-edge and controversial topic.

Whether or not he can wake up in the future, whether a person whose heartbeat stops at the moment can be called alive is a matter to be discussed.

Not to mention, some of the other moral, ethical, and various issues involved.

According to the suggestion of Academician Zhao Zhongjie and the President of 301 Hospital, Lu Zhou finally decided to disclose the controversial technology of human cryonics hibernation in batches and order after consulting with Professor Liu Zuobing.

Although the resistance of public opinion is actually quite small whether it is for the 301 hospital or for Lu Zhou himself, it is better to take a relatively mild approach when there is a choice.

...

Shanghai Medical University.

According to the script negotiated by a group of people, Professor Liu Zuobing gave a lecture on cryobiology here.

Although cryobiology and cryobiology are just like their names, it is a subject that is too cold to be cold, but many people still signed up for this lecture.

In particular, many foreign friends have even rushed over from Europe and North America by plane.

As far as this unpopular research direction is concerned, there are only two research units known to be ahead in the world. One is the "low temperature dormancy chamber" project invested by NASA, and jointly developed by aerospace companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Space-X. The other is a project by the cryobiology laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Since these two projects are linked to the aerospace industry, China, which currently has the upper hand in the space race, is generally regarded as more promising to be the first to master this technology.

Now, the cryobiology laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which has not published a paper for a whole year, suddenly held this lecture in Beijing, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

After all, by convention, Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has projects under the name of Academician Lu, which are generally key or even core research projects of the institute, not major research progress or sufficiently prominent stage results, and generally do not say anything.

Now that the wind has suddenly been released, many people have vaguely noticed an unusual taste, and naturally they will not easily miss it...

Cafe near medical university.

Lu Zhou, who ordered a cappuccino, walked to a secluded corner and sat down.

Because there is no obvious difference between the clothes and the students around here, from the time he entered the door to the time he ordered a cup of coffee and sat down, no one noticed his identity and did not cause any commotion.

But when Senior Sister came in, her mature and gentle yet powerful temperament and her beautiful appearance and clothes attracted many boys and even little girls who had not yet stepped out of the campus.

"I really want to disturb you from listening to the lecture." Sitting opposite Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan said in a slightly apologetic voice, "It doesn't matter, right?"

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "It's okay, I don't understand it well anyway. Chemistry is better. I've studied it, but cryobiology is still far from my professional field... What's the matter?"

"Nothing?" Staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, she took a small sip of coffee while biting the straw, and said helplessly, "I just feel... your chemistry is not bad, a little... too modest."

In fact, what she really wanted to say was that she wanted to hit someone, which was just a relatively euphemistic expression.

However, Lu Zhou obviously did not understand that meaning.

He thought he was complimenting himself, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

This is probably one of the few times he has laughed these days.

"Overwhelmed... By the way, did the thing I asked you to do come to fruition?"

"There is a result, otherwise I would dare to invite a busy man like you out," teasing Lu Zhou casually, Chen Yushan took out a stack of documents from her carry-on bag and put it on the table, "According to the distinguished academician Lu According to your instructions, I have registered a capital of 100 million yuan for you to protect the rights and interests of terminally ill cryotherapy."

“The foundation will be run by specialized professional managers, and the main investment areas will be concentrated in food production, mining production, consumer sectors and other sectors with lower risks that are suitable for long-term holding… and the medical industry. At the same time, 20% of the annual income will be It is used to pay staff salaries, facility maintenance and other necessary expenses, and the rest will continue to be deposited in the fund pool to ensure that the funds can form a virtuous circle.”

"At the same time, after the unfreezing date of the agreement arrives, the foundation will pay the awakened person a one-time payment of the same currency as the purchasing power of the principal to pay for treatment and basic living expenses."

"The purchase threshold is set at one million, and the appraiser will assess whether the purchaser's motivation meets the purchase criteria based on fixed assets, occupation, social relations and current health conditions to ensure that the technology is used in the right place... The basic situation is In this way, the specific details can be modified again.”

In short, this is equivalent to a pension insurance with a period of 50 years or even longer, one-time payment and one-time cash in the future, and only "diagnosed as terminally ill", not " Those who intentionally self-harm" are eligible to purchase.

As for why this fund was set up...

Because Lu Zhou knew very well what the consequences might be if he didn't do this.

The consequences of misusing this technology are of course dire, but trying to prevent it from being born, or to turn it into the power of a few people, is in a sense more dire than the former.

Of course, there are always positive and negative sides of logic. Think on the positive side. As Academician Zhao Jiong said, the birth of this technology can give those who cannot live because of disease a choice whether to start in the new world. The chance of a new life is always a good thing.

"thanks."

Gently brushing the long hair around her ear, Chen Yushan continued: "You're welcome, by the way, how is Ms. Vera Puyouyi's condition? You already..."

Lu Zhou nodded.

"It's dormant."

The air was quiet for about ten seconds.

Looking at the busy traffic outside the window, Chen Yushan sighed softly.

"The trip may be a little long, but ... it should be the best option for her."

Lu Zhou nodded silently and did not speak.

Not knowing how to comfort him, Chen Yushan was silent for a while, then suddenly changed into a cheerful tone and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, what's next? Are you planning to go back to Jinling?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Go home for the summer vacation, wait until school starts to return to school."

The matter in Shangjing is almost finished. After the lecture here, he plans to go back home. After August is completely over, Jinda will go back to the new school year.

One is that he really needs to rest for a while, to accompany his family, and at the same time to relax his tense nerves.

The second is to avoid the limelight.

It is almost foreseeable that after the news of freezing dormancy is released, the sensational effect will definitely push him to the forefront of public opinion. If he stayed in Shangjing or Jinling at this time, I was afraid that he would not think about living in peace one day.

Seemingly amused by this sentence, Chen Yushan teased: "You still have summer vacation?"

Lu Zhou: "Why not? Professor... is also a teacher, why not have summer vacation?"

Chen Yushan bent the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have it, you can have it. But Riemann guesses that such a difficult topic has been solved by you, and you should really rest."

Lu Zhou glanced at her unexpectedly and said, "You already know?"

As soon as she heard the unexpected tone in this sentence, Chen Yushan couldn't help rolling her eyes and complaining.

"How could I not know! I pay attention to the news every day, okay? Don't talk about me like a primitive person. And I saw you on the cover of Renren Daily. Speaking of which, I really want to interview you. Yes, how does it feel to be on the cover of Renren Daily?"

On the cover of Renren Daily?

When he heard this sentence, Lu Zhou's face suddenly showed an unexpected expression.

However, it was just a little surprise.

After all, he doesn't know how many times he's been on places like Renren Daily and CCTV.

Holding the straw and fiddling with the ice cubes in the glass, Chen Yushan, who was sitting opposite, sighed softly.

"Hey, I used to feel that you are very good at math, but I didn't expect you to be so good..."

Lu Zhouhan said: "...Did you just find out now?"

"You don't have to find out now to be able to express your emotions," Chen Yushan rolled her eyes suddenly, and said on a whim, "Do you think there will be a director who will make your story into a movie? It's like "Beautiful Mind" "That kind of. Speaking of which, when I was shopping on Amazon some time ago, I saw someone selling your biography on it..."

The smile on Lu Zhou's face suddenly stopped, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"...what personal biography?"

"Accurately speaking, it's not your personal biography, it's kind of like a memoir. I remember the name seems to be "Professor Lu in My Eyes". The author is a Brazilian math professor who is said to be a young student teaching at the University of Sao Paulo. A famous mathematician—"

When he heard that this guy was from Brazil, Lu Zhou almost spit out a sip of coffee.

"Is his name Hardy?!"

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was a little unstable, Chen Yushan hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "Huh? Have you seen it? When did you buy it secretly?"

Lu Zhou: "..."

MMP!

Sure enough, that idiot did it!

Lu Zhou can't wait to travel back to six or seven years ago, grab the resume from his past self, and stuff it into the shredder.

Letting this guy become one of his eldest disciples is simply the shame of his life.

"But he does seem to claim to be the student you brought in Princeton... Then, are all the things he said true?" Looking at Lu Zhou curiously, Chen Yushan asked in an uncertain tone.

Lu Zhou said with a stern face: "Don't believe a word of what that guy with his mouth full of trains wrote."

Chen Yushan sighed regretfully: "...Okay. Actually, I think some of what he wrote is quite interesting."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Although he was very curious about what "interesting" meant by "interesting", he felt that it was better not to know too much out of a good mood.
