This time, Zhou Mi heard it clearly, and F001's words also clearly expressed his purpose and reason for coming here.

He came here because he was to be infected with the SW18 virus as a test subject.

He wouldn't have come if it weren't for the SW18 virus infection.

is that so?

F001 nodded when he met Zhou Mi's gaze.

"But why?" Zhou Mi couldn't help but ask.

"Even if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else. There's nothing strange about that. Besides, I am indeed more suitable; at least I have an advantage in appearance, don't I?"

F001 tried to sound nonchalant. But he knew all too well that there was always a problem with becoming a test subject.

It seems that most of those who became test subjects either possessed the so-called spirit of sacrificing for ideals, or simply couldn't survive.

However, I don't seem to fall into either of those categories.

But Zhou Mi's eyes were resolute; she wanted to know why.

"Or is it..." Zhou Mi began to speculate, "that if you don't agree, Li Lechen can destroy you?"

"this......"

F001 really has a hard time answering this hypothesis.

When he was still considered a "medical resource," Li Lechen only needed to go to the hospital for a checkup and have an organ transplant, and he would only face death.

But what about now?

It's really hard to say whether Li Lechen can directly decide his own life or death.

However, he can directly decide whether or not he can travel from the future to the present. Because F001 can only come through a portal, and the power to open or not open the portal rests with Li Lechen.

However, F001 quickly understood what Zhou Mi was worried about, so she hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, even if I really get infected with the SW18 virus, I won't die. I can go back to 4020, when medical technology was very advanced."

"Since future medical technology is so advanced, why not just bring vaccines and effective drugs from the future?"

"Because there are no vaccines or effective treatments."

"Then why not just send the virus over for research?"

“Well…” F001 thought for a moment, “Perhaps studying the virus directly is different from studying people infected with the virus. It’s also possible that hospitals don’t study the virus at all, because they only know how to treat illnesses.”

"Is that even possible?"

Zhou Mi found the idea that they could only treat diseases and not research viruses very strange.

"The future will all be about artificial intelligence, and everything will be pre-programmed, so there will be almost no one to do innovative research."

This is something F001 figured out on his own over this period of time, because he felt that the people around him weren't very smart. Even those who claimed to have an IQ of 150 seemed to have an inflated sense of intelligence. In comparison, his Zhou Mi was far, far smarter.

Thinking this, F001's gaze towards Zhou Mi suddenly became intense.

Zhou Mi was startled by the intense gaze and instinctively moved back a little: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Realizing that his behavior was a bit too extreme, F001 took a deep breath, regained his composure, and continued to talk about his mission: "The reason I came here is to get infected with the SW18 virus and return to the future. I don't know what treatment measures the hospital will take. If it can be treated with injections and medications, then you guys will be saved."

F001 was clearly stating his mission, even emphasizing how beneficial his trip would be to the era. After all, Zhou Mi was a person of this era; benefiting the era meant benefiting Zhou Mi.

F001 did indeed think that way. He even worried that if he completed this mission and caused the SW18 virus to run out of effective treatment, ultimately resulting in the deaths of 80 million people, would Zhou Mi be implicated?

If Zhou Mi were to perish in this disaster, F001 would feel like he was the culprit!

Thinking about this made him even more determined to become a test subject, to complete the experiment, and even to find a specific drug and vaccine to treat the SW18 virus.

Only in this way can Zhou Mi live a good life.

Therefore, F001's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

But Zhou Mi thought differently after hearing these words: "Besides injections and medication, are there other treatments for the flu? Could it be surgery?"

"It's surgery." F001 said seriously.

In fact, at Aier Hospital, surgery is the most common treatment method, and there are no other treatment methods besides surgery.

Anyway, if there's a problem, just replace that part.

This treatment method is called "removing the fuel from under the cauldron," and it's said to be the most convenient, efficient, and least likely to relapse treatment. Crucially, it also requires the least mental effort.

That's right, it's simply about replacing whatever part is problematic. So there's no need for doctors to see patients; all that's needed is artificial intelligence to detect the problem, identify the lesion, and then cut or replace it.

Of course, I've heard of drug treatment as well, but that's usually for people who really can't afford surgery. In those cases, the procedure is set up by artificial intelligence, and a conclusion is selected based on the principle of maximum similarity, and then an existing drug is matched.

However, because many medications are no longer available, it is very likely that even if the illness is diagnosed, the complete set of medications cannot be prescribed.

So, people without money can only take half-finished medicines that are missing this or that, and whether they can be cured depends entirely on luck.
