Chapter 93
Today, the lunar base has attracted global attention and has officially begun construction. Even the construction site is broadcast live 24 hours a day, with more than 50 to 60 million viewers every day. Almost all the indigenous people on the earth are looking forward to it, wanting to see how humans break out of the earth and head into the universe. The first stop now is the mysterious satellite, the moon, which has been with the earth for many years and is full of countless legends.
In addition to further deepening the impression of the infrastructure maniac, Wanxiang Interactive has contributed several black technologies, which has also attracted the attention of many discerning people.
At the beginning, in the impression of most people, Wanxiang Interactive is just a game company. Although it has greatly developed various technologies related to virtual reality by not doing its main business, and has even become the leading medical device manufacturer in China, but in the final analysis, this high-tech company based on virtual networks, in theory, does not seem to have much connection with the development of space into deep space.
However, the above is a stereotype of most people. Whether it is interstellar travel or adapting to the special environment inside the satellite as quickly as possible, the technology of Wanxiang Interaction has played a vital role in it, especially one of the deep sleep cabins, which is said to allow humans to sleep in a hibernation-like state for more than two years. Moreover, due to the slowed physiological functions, the subjects after waking up seem to be much better in all aspects than other control groups.
It doesn't even feel like time has been forced to stop. Instead, it feels more like the body has been more fully stimulated, showing physical fitness and athletic ability far beyond this age.
This is simply a magic tool for rejuvenation, and it has a fatal attraction for all wealthy people at home and abroad.
Just because of this excellent advertising effect, many countries that were originally wary of Wanxiang Interactive's invasion of their domestic markets inexplicably quietly relaxed their control policies, and even began to actively contact Wanxiang Interactive, saying that they could make appropriate concessions on various policies. The only requirement was to open up the sales policy of the deep sleep cabins that were performing exceptionally well during the construction of the Yuexin Base, so that these countries could also introduce a few more units.
As for who is behind these attitudes, it is self-evident.
This deep sleep cabin was originally developed as a single-function device, and its main purpose was to facilitate the daily rest of astronauts and builders of the Moon Core Base. However, unexpectedly, the skill tree was accidentally turned on its side, and the magical effect of rejuvenation was revealed. Moreover, it is backed by the largest engineering project in the country, and the advertising effect is perfect. It can easily be sold at a very high price. If it is still hidden and not sold to the outside world, it would be really unnecessary.
Anyway, this type of sleeping cabin has long been popularized in China, and has been updated two or three generations later. Now that this type of sleeping cabin is exported, it is a way to quickly open up the market with outdated models, and it will not lose money no matter what.
Not only did it not lose money, but it also made a lot of money and reputation. Wanxiang Interactive's international influence was further increased, and it even became the biggest dream of many young foreigners.
Although the rental price of this thing in China is extremely low and most families can easily own one, in foreign countries it costs millions of dollars per unit. Most people can't afford it at all. No one uses this thing for charity, and no one even directly distributes it to remote areas so that children in remote mountainous areas can directly feel the progress and benefits brought by modern technology.
Xue Mi heard that since sleeping pods became popular, the gap between children in mountainous areas and cities has been instantly narrowed thanks to the excellent resources on the platform - both in terms of teaching staff and vision.
The charitable foundation under her name has been providing financial support to women and children in poor areas for a long time, so she felt this even more deeply.
The number of girls dropping out of school and the number of early marriages have decreased significantly compared to previous years. The villagers' concepts have changed a lot under the crazy impact of modern technology. Although there are still some bad habits and customs, young people are becoming less and less willing to accept them.
The young man, who had seen the wider world, simply scoffed at the most effective belief in ghosts and gods that had been passed down from generation to generation to restrain his fellow villagers, and he took it less and less seriously.
Even the most remote mountain villages were inevitably affected by this great change.
Xue Mi is actually looking forward to seeing what the world will be like in a few years.
————
Xue Mi had another dream that day.
In the dream, her mother smiled at her gently, chatted with her, talked with her, and said a lot of things.
Then, the mother stood up, looked in one direction from a distance, and said to her with a smile: "The time has come, you should go back, and don't be afraid, you can successfully pass this level."
Then, Xue Mi suddenly woke up as if she was pushed hard by something.
Her heart also tightened, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand.
Her time was finally coming - she seemed to have a premonition that some kind of fate was about to come.
The next moment, she suddenly felt a strong cramp in her right calf.
She felt her muscles were as hard as rocks, and there seemed to be countless tiny particles of stone stirring up and down in her skin, making her flesh and blood into a mess.
Sure enough, the older you get, the more severe the attacks become and the more painful they are.
Xue Mi was not surprised. Although the pain made beads of sweat drip down her forehead, she just held her breath and waited quietly for this wave to pass.
The first pain lasted for about ten minutes before it gradually eased. Xue Mi took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and immediately called the head of her medical team.
As a top tycoon who pays great attention to health preservation, Xue Mi naturally formed a medical team early on. In addition to the top private doctors with impressive resumes who can provide services to her 24 hours a day, she also invited several famous doctors from major hospitals as external experts who can provide consultation and treatment services at any time.
The largest number of them are experts in genetic diseases.
After receiving the call, the private doctor contacted the relevant agencies immediately, and the helicopter was put into use immediately, and Xue Mi was sent to the treatment cabin that had been prepared long ago.
This is the eighth generation sleeping cabin launched by Wanxiang Interactive. It is still not sold to ordinary users, but is instead sold exclusively to major hospitals. Soon after its launch, it quickly became a very important medical device in major hospitals. Almost every department has to buy several of them. Not only can it greatly improve the treatment effect, it can also very effectively improve the patient's mood.
The treatment cabin that Xue Mi used was specially customized and optimized for possible conditions that might occur in her body. The previous user was Lin Dudu, who reported that the effect was very good. Now, Lin is in high school. Although he still needs to take medicine and receive regular treatment on time, he does not look much different from other children.
Ah, no, there is something special about this kid, that is, apart from being an ordinary high school student, he is also a very famous virtual reality e-sports player. With his extremely gorgeous operations, he easily attracted a large number of fans.
These days, this kid has gone to participate in an international competition again, and he has been away for almost half a month. Fortunately, he has a good brain, and although he often skips classes, his grades in the class are pretty average. And because of his outstanding achievements in the competitive circle, he will most likely be recruited by a prestigious university.
Thinking of Lin Dudu's current condition, Xue Mi's mood instantly stabilized a lot. She thought that with this treatment cabin, although it could not cure her immediately, it could at least effectively delay the progression of the disease and buy her a certain amount of time.
As for the counselor, Xue Mi remembered that great progress had been made and a series of important papers were published last year, which caused a great sensation in the biomedical community.
I heard that when the paper was first published, it caused a lot of doubts, and people suspected that the data was forged. Later, after almost half a year of litigation, the matter was finally settled, proving that the counselor's data was not diluted at all. On the contrary, it was the party that raised the doubts, because their papers had been diluted for years, and they always thought that others were the same as them and could not stand up to verification.
At present, many related gene therapy project teams have achieved gratifying results by adopting new treatment methods. According to the industry, as long as there is one more decisive result, the counselor, her mentor, and the head of the cooperating gene therapy laboratory will most likely win this year's Physiology or Medicine Award.
If this news comes true, the counselor will probably become the second woman in the country to win this award. Xue Mi has said before that if the counselor really wins the award, she will drive her own super yacht and bring a group of people to cheer for the counselor. It's a pity that considering her current physical condition, it will be difficult for her to take a long-distance trip in the short term.
Thinking about the good news one after another in her mind, Xue Mi, who was pushed into the hospital for a series of examinations, finally calmed down a little.
After all, she had done everything she could before this, and now all she had to do was leave it to fate.
The results of the examination were not very good.
The later the disease occurs, the more critical the condition and the worse the treatment effect.
Xue Mi's cousin fell ill very early, so even though the medical level at that time was much worse than it is now, the prognosis was still good, and there were basically no particularly serious consequences afterwards.
In comparison, Lin Dudu's onset of the disease was only three years later than his father's, but his condition was much more serious. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the unexpected black technology such as the game cabin, the child probably would not have survived to adulthood.
Xue Mi's onset of illness was more than 20 years later than Lin Dudu's.
Although she was taken to the hospital immediately after the first attack, the doctor gave Xue Mi several bottles of water as soon as the test results came out, indicating that her muscles had already developed rhabdomyolysis. If she was not treated immediately, she might even suffer from acute renal failure.
Xue Mi had heard of this disease before and knew that it was often caused by excessive exercise, ketoacidosis, and some other metabolic diseases.
I never thought that one day I would be associated with this disease.
Xue Mi was lying on the hospital bed, her eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the huge bottles of intravenous fluid above her head. The assistant was standing beside her at this time, talking to Xue Mi's personal doctor and another expert in the field of genetic diseases. Unfortunately, Xue Mi couldn't hear a word clearly at this time.
She felt for the first time that in the face of death, everyone is equal, no matter if they are billionaires or ordinary working class people, without the slightest difference.
Even if she can hire the best experts, she will still die when the time comes.
Xue Mi sighed deeply, but her mood was unusually calm.
After a moment of trance, she quickly regained her composure, quickly explained the subsequent work arrangements to her assistant, and asked a lawyer to make another amendment to the will.
Xue Mi had prepared her will long ago and made arrangements for her inheritance according to her own wishes.
The largest portion of the estate was divided into several parts, which were left to the charitable foundation under her name and four scientific research institutions. A Honey Award was also established, which is mainly used to reward the most important scientific discoveries and achievements each year. There are up to five award quotas each year. If there are really no achievements worthy of the award, the amount of the award may be zero. The award amount is also quite high. A winner can get a prize of 10 million. Therefore, as soon as it came out, it quickly gained recognition with the high prize money.
After all, who wouldn’t like to receive money from an institution, especially a large amount of money, without any additional requirements?
Xue Mi admitted that her main purpose in setting up this award was to gain fame and reputation. However, vanity is the driving force of human progress. Among the many awards that sound very serious, she added such an award whose name sounds lively and gentle. Xue Mi feels that it is like a small smile she is giving to future humans. Maybe, several years later, someone will seriously ask online why the person who set up the award gave it such a name.
It sounds very inappropriate.
By then, maybe someone would tell her about her beautiful super yacht and her wealthy life experience. Just thinking about it, Xue Mi couldn't help but give a playful smile to the person on the other side of time.
Ah, but now, her body is in so much pain!
Xue Mi gritted her teeth again, but looking at Xiao Tao who was crying loudly and was much more flustered than herself, she could only sigh helplessly and rub the little girl's head.
Xue Mi left a small portion of the remaining inheritance to her aunt's family, Xiao Tao, and her cousin's family. The money was not much, and most of what was left to them were various properties.
Xue Mi has the most industries in this area. Even though the bonus period of rapid development of real estate has passed, commercial real estate with relatively good locations is still a stable source of income that will not be a loss in any era.
The lakeside villa she bought was left to the parents of her best friend Zhang Xuan.
She had not lived in the villa many times herself, and if she gave it directly to Zhang Xuan, she was not sure whether it would have an impact on her best friend's work. In that case, it would be a good idea to give it to Zhang Xuan's parents for their retirement. After all, they only have Zhang Xuan as their daughter, so there would be no unexpected situations.
But even if something unexpected happened, Xue Mi wouldn't be able to do anything about it. After all, if the house was really given away, she would be dead, and there was no need for the dead to worry about the future of the living.
Even though she was facing her own death, Xue Mi was still quite relaxed. She even couldn't help giggling when she thought of her best friend's crazy look. If it weren't for her pale face and several large bottles of IV drip above her head, she wouldn't look like a patient at all.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine, why are you crying like that?" Xue Mi was so annoyed by Xiao Tao's nagging that she finally gave up on the gentle and tactful approach and started complaining directly, "Save some strength for now, otherwise what are you going to do at my funeral?"
Xiaotao was quiet for two seconds, then cried even louder.
My eldest aunt also spat bitterly at the side: "Children just don't know how to talk. God bless you, don't argue with children."
The aunt turned around and scolded Xue Mi again: "What discouraging words are you saying? Your brother and Dudu are recovering well. Isn't the treatment cabin made by your company very effective? Use it quickly. Maybe they will recover in a few days."
The old man's idea was very simple and straightforward. He thought that since Xue Mi had been cured before, she would definitely be able to recover soon.
Xue Mi naturally would not expose the old man's beautiful imagination. She just smiled and said that she would be well soon, and then she would accompany her aunt and uncle on a round-the-world voyage.
My uncle nodded happily and said that he was looking forward to the special experience of catching fish around the world that Xue Mi mentioned.
Several young people were not so optimistic, especially Lin Zhifeng, who was quite familiar with the entire course of his son's illness.
After all, when his son's condition was at its worst, he did not show signs of rhabdomyolysis. Looking at Xue Mi's current situation, it is obviously not optimistic.
Of course, he couldn't say this directly, so he could only sigh and pat Xue Mi's shoulder gently.
Not long after, other friends who heard the news and important subordinates also rushed over, but their faces looked heavy, just like they were attending a funeral. In the end, they were all driven away by the impatient Xue Mi, who said that they were not dead yet. Seeing these people coming to comfort them, he felt even worse.
The only person who knew a little bit was the general manager of Xifeng Media, who directly gave Xue Mi a set of health tools he had carefully selected, including a large thermos cup, a health pot, and a complete set of various health-preserving Chinese medicinal materials. If the doctor had not said that she could not eat or drink anything indiscriminately because she was taking medication, Xue Mi really wanted to try traditional medicine to see if it would be useful for her.
But think about it, what I'm dealing with is metaphysics... Forget it, we are all in the same field, and one of them is particularly unreasonable. The probability of expecting traditional medicine to suppress metaphysics is not very high.
Miaomiao and Song Zhiyan and his wife also came to visit several times. Miaomiao brought a few books for Xue Mi, all of which were chicken soup literature for the fight against serious illness. They were usually funny to read, but at special times, Xue Mi actually found a little comfort in them.
As for the abacus beads, they are much more hateful. They gave Xue Mi a whole collection of art films from all over the world, which more than 80% of ordinary people cannot understand.
The reason given by Abacus Beads is that if you watch more movies of this kind, you will not think that death is a particularly scary thing - because living and having to endure the torture of these movies is actually more terrifying.
Xue Mi only responded to this guy with one word: Get lost!
How could a good girl like Miaomiao only have such a cheap thing? Xue Mi felt very heartbroken every time she thought about it.
Because my heart hurts so much, even the pain in my body doesn’t seem to matter anymore.
After a few days of intravenous drip and a bunch of medicine, Xue Mi's dangerous condition caused by her first attack was finally mostly eliminated. However, the doctor has said that the situation will only get worse with each subsequent attack, and there is no telling when it may be completely out of control.
As for the intervals between each attack, Xue Mi could only spend more time on the Internet, using bioelectric stimulation to slow down the onset of the disease. Apart from this, there was much less that could be done in the hospital than one might have imagined.
Lin Dudu survived for several years by taking medicine. According to the doctor, it is unclear whether Xue Mi can survive more than half a year in this condition.
Half a year, six months, 180 days, it seemed as if a very clear pause suddenly appeared in Xue Mi's life, and the time when this pause appeared was much earlier than she had expected.
Xue Mi knew that this was probably related to her frequent use of her golden finger in recent years.
Every time you use it, its lifespan will be shortened. As time goes by, the oil will naturally run out and its life will not be long.
But she had no choice but to use it. Xue Mi had long known that no matter how frugal she used her time, if she let things take their course and let everything develop along the original trajectory, she would definitely not see the dawn.
If you want to take a gamble, you must promote the development of relevant medical laboratories as soon as possible and advance the projects faster, for which talent is indispensable.
If you want to find the best talents, relying on your own golden fingers is definitely a shortcut.
In the past two years, Xue Mi finally found an efficient way to find big guys and provided a lot of talents to several laboratories and research institutions. Some projects that might have taken years or even decades to successfully complete have made obvious progress under her cheating-like breakthrough, directly accelerating the research of related majors in the country by decades - or perhaps even more.
Xue Mi's method is also very simple. She casts a wide net, catches a lot of fish, and finds out the good ones. Then it is her turn to come on stage and talk a few words, shake hands, and get to know the new employees, so as to better adapt to local conditions and screen out the big guys one by one.
The efficiency was indeed considerable, but the lifespan was used up a little quickly. When Xue Mi realized that although this method was effective, it also had serious side effects, she immediately chose to stop. Unfortunately, her reaction was a little slow, and she burned a little more, and even her life was much shorter than before.
You have to bear the consequences of your own sins.
For a period of time afterwards, Xue Mi did not dare to leave City S, or even stay too far away from medical institutions. After all, who knew when the next illness would occur? If she was not sent to the hospital in time, serious consequences would be very likely.
Although the illness was really terrible, Xue Mi didn't want to die.
Because of the sudden onset of the disease, Xue Mi also learned about the current progress of these institutions. Among them, the new treatment plan developed by the counselor is currently undergoing clinical trials. Xue Mi applied for a place without hesitation and joined this clinical trial with an uncertain life and death.
She personally believes in her counselor, but she doesn't know if she has the luck to wait until the day when the technology finally breaks through.
At the same time, the rich woman invested a large sum of money in the field of aviation transportation.
After all, she might soon be going to space to heal the sick.
