Mars.

More than two months after the Gale Crater bacterial crisis.

The medical cabin project, led by Academician Mao Zhengzhi, has finally been completed.

Inside the second Mars City, in the biological sub-laboratory, Mao Zhengzhi waved his hands excitedly at Lü Yongchang in front of him.

"Professor, based on our experiments, this medical pod can cure more than 90% of current human diseases!"

"Apart from diseases caused by specific genetic defects, it can effectively treat almost all bacterial and viral infections, as well as organ lesions and cancers!"

"According to estimates, once medical pods are widely deployed, the average human lifespan will experience a qualitative leap!"

Lu Yongchang turned to look at the streamlined medical pod beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and satisfaction: "What is the expected average lifespan?"

"Conservative estimate: 90 years old!" Mao Zhengzhi said firmly. "If we add regular full-body checkups, the average lifespan could perhaps be increased to over 95 years old."

Lu Yongchang's expression tightened slightly. This was the average lifespan!

Don't underestimate the difference of these twenty years.

Twenty years is the time it takes for most people to acquire basic scientific knowledge.

This means that humanity will have more time to pass on knowledge and learn new skills.

"Zero, notify Mo Zeyang and have him bring Elder Lin here." Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "It's time to wake Elder Lin up."

...

More than ten minutes later.

"Professor Lü!"

The door to the biology lab was pushed open, and Mo Zeyang's excited, expectant voice rang out from afar: "Professor! I've brought Professor Lin!"

Lü Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi both turned their heads to look towards the gate.

Several robotic arms were seen carrying an old-fashioned hibernation pod into the biological sub-laboratory.

As for Mo Zeyang, he stood behind the old-fashioned hibernation pod with an excited expression, waving to Lü Yongchang.

Seeing the bright smile on Mo Zeyang's face, Lü Yongchang also smiled faintly.

After the old-fashioned hibernation pod passed through the gate, Mo Zeyang hurriedly ran to Lü Yongchang's side.

He first glanced at the streamlined hibernation pod next to him, then turned to look at the old-fashioned hibernation pod that resembled a coffin, and the smile on his face was gradually replaced by worry.

"Professor, is it possible for Professor Lin to wake up?"

Mo Zeyang asked softly.

In response to Mo Zeyang's question, Lü Yongchang slowly shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Currently, medical nanorobots can only remove lesions inside the human body. If..."

Lu Yongchang stopped talking and did not continue.

Mo Zeyang fell silent.

He understood the meaning behind Lü Yongchang's words.

It's very simple. If Old Lin's body is already at its limit, even if nanobots are used to remove all the cancer cells in his body, Old Lin still won't last long.

Scenes from before Old Lin went into hibernation kept flashing through his mind. Mo Zeyang's eyes reddened slightly. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Professor, let's give it a try first."

Lu Yongchang naturally sensed Mo Zeyang's mood. He raised his hand, gently patted his shoulder, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Don't worry, we will try our best to wake Old Lin up."

"We, or rather humanity, will never let down such a meritorious person!"

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang winked at Mao Zhengzhi, who was standing to the side: "Brother Mao, let's begin."

...

After all the deep-sea fluid was drained, the hatch of the old-fashioned hibernation pod slowly opened, revealing a pale-faced Lin Hongsheng.

His body, which had been ravaged by lung cancer for a long time, appeared extremely thin.

Because he had not been injected with anti-hibernation hormone, Lin Hongsheng was still in a state of hibernation at this time.

Mao Zhengzhi sighed deeply, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up Lin Hongsheng, who was covered in pale yellow deep-sea liquid, without any disgust.

The moment Mao Zhengzhi picked up the old man, his heart skipped a beat.

light!

So light!

In his mind, it seemed that Old Lin was just a skeleton.

His eyes reddened, and he quickly turned around and placed the old man into the opened medical pod.

"Zero, you take control of the nanobots," Lü Yongchang's voice rang out. "Old Lin is too weak right now, so try to minimize any unnecessary damage."

Zero's holographic image appeared around everyone.

He nodded slightly: "Understood, Professor."

The medical pod door slowly closed.

Under Zero's control, a needle was slowly and firmly inserted into the old man's arm vein.

Subsequently, the silvery-white nanorobots swarmed into the old man's body through the syringe.

A holographic image above the medical pod shows a frail and thin human anatomy.

The silvery-white medical nanorobots gradually dispersed into every corner of the human body through blood vessels.

The laboratory was silent; everyone watched the screen in quiet contemplation.

More than ten minutes later.

"Professor, the full-body examination is complete." Zero's voice broke the silence of the laboratory.

"How is it?!" Before Lü Yongchang could speak, Mo Zeyang, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to ask.

Zero's simulated image glanced at Mo Zeyang and slowly shook its head: "Academician Mo, the situation is not optimistic."

"..." Mo Zeyang looked dazed, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't utter a word.

"What happened?" Lu Yongchang's gentle voice rang out, asking the question on Mo Zeyang's behalf, "What are the chances of a successful treatment?"

“Professor, Academician Lin’s lung cancer has reached the late stage, and the cancer cells have spread throughout his body,” Ling explained softly. “Medical nanorobots can precisely eliminate these cancer cells, but…”

"Old Lin's health is very poor. I cannot guarantee that he will be able to wake up from hibernation after the cancer cells are removed."

Lu Yongchang and everyone else present fell silent.

After a long silence, Lü Yongchang spoke in a dry voice: "Zero, let's remove the cancer cells first."

"receive!"

"The cleaning process will take a long time, estimated to be 4-5 hours."

...

"Why……"

Inside the biological sub-laboratory, Mo Zeyang could be heard sighing repeatedly.

"Don't worry too much." Lu Yongchang patted Mo Zeyang's shoulder with some reluctance. "It's not over yet."

"Perhaps Old Lin has a strong will and pull through?"

Mo Zeyang gave a wry smile, shook his head, and remained silent.

Others might not know, but how could he not know Old Lin's situation?

In his final moments, he essentially exhausted all of Old Lin's vitality.

In this situation, unless a miracle occurs...

"professor."

"The cancer cells have been completely eliminated. Do you wish to initiate the activation process?"

A holographic image appeared in front of the two, and Zero's voice rang out.

Lu Yongchang turned to look at Mo Zeyang and sighed slightly: "How about we don't wake him up yet, and wait until we have better technology later?"
