Half an hour later.
"Professor, the pulmonary tube construction is complete."
Zero's voice rang out in the quiet laboratory, and all the researchers' eyes turned to the experimental table.
A long white duct protruded from the tip of the sleeping white mouse's nose.
Lu Yongchang perked up and turned to Mao Zhengzhi, saying, "Brother Mao, quick, let's get an X-ray to see the results."
A few minutes later.
In the X-ray image on the computer screen, the mouse's lungs were filled with tiny, dense ducts.
“Unbelievable…” Mao Zhengzhi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
"How's the production of these nanobots?" Suddenly, as if realizing something, he abruptly turned to look at Lü Yongchang and said in a very urgent tone, "Also, how do you supply power? Can they operate for extended periods?"
"Um, production volume... that's a bit hard to estimate."
"Under zero control, it can self-replicate, requiring only the necessary materials and sufficient electricity."
"The power supply methods are wireless power supply and bio-energy power supply. Wireless power supply is used externally, while glucose fuel cells are used internally."
Mao Zhengzhi gasped sharply.
Self-replicating!
This output is indeed difficult to estimate!
One begets two, two begets four, four begets eight...
Given enough resources and time, this thing could easily deplete Earth's resources!
"What are you planning to do?" Lu Yongchang frowned and asked in a low voice, "I'm telling you in advance, this thing is very dangerous, so don't use it carelessly."
"It's fine if there's zero control, but if something goes wrong, this thing could cause a disaster."
"Moreover, I plan to use it on the latest starship."
Upon hearing this, Mao Zhengzhi fell silent.
Used on the latest starships...
Then these nanorobots can indeed be considered top-secret technology.
only……
Recalling the scene that had just crossed his mind, Mao Zhengzhi asked somewhat unwillingly, "If we reduce its performance a bit, can it be used for civilian purposes?"
"For example... removing the ability to self-replicate."
Lu Yongchang frowned: "Tell me what you're planning to do first."
Mao Zhengzhi pointed to the hibernation pod design drawing on the holographic projection next to him: "It's similar to a hibernation pod, like a medical pod in a science fiction movie."
"With the help of specialized nanorobots, many diseases can be treated using medical pods."
"Regular full-body checkups, early removal of cancerous tissue, targeted drugs for diseased tissue, precise elimination of bacteria and viruses... there are so many applications!"
"Once this technology matures, the average human lifespan could be increased to at least 90 years or more!"
Looking at Mao Zhengzhi, who was in front of him with an excited expression, Lü Yongchang fell silent.
Since his rebirth, he hadn't paid much attention to this kind of thing.
His sense of urgency regarding the solar crisis led him to subconsciously push forward with essential technologies, thus neglecting the application scenarios of these technologies.
He took a deep breath and patted Mao Zhengzhi's shoulder forcefully.
"The medical pod project will be handled by your laboratory."
"Regarding nanorobots, I will make certain cuts and modifications to them."
...
Two weeks later.
The hibernating mouse, which was immersed in deep-sea liquid, was still in good health.
This also symbolizes a formal breakthrough in the basic technology of hibernation pods!
While the gorilla experiments were beginning, the design work for the first human hibernation pod also commenced.
...
"Cough cough cough!!"
"Academician Lin, please take a rest!"
Inside the quantum computing sub-lab, a researcher stood hunched over beside an elderly man with gray hair, gently patting his back as he earnestly advised, "Your health is already like this, it's not too late to rest for a while before finishing this architecture diagram!"
The old man coughed weakly twice more.
A muffled voice came from inside the oxygen mask: "No..."
"I can just sit and rest."
"Please lie down for a while!" The researcher felt as if a giant hand was gripping his heart as he looked at the increasingly dim light in the old man's eyes. "It's just a little bit more left, please lie down for a while before continuing!"
As he spoke, the researcher pointed to a makeshift bed that had been laid out to the side: "Look, the bed is right behind you. Let me help you over there to rest for a while."
The old man waved his hand weakly again, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and said, "I... I dare not lie down."
"I'm afraid that if I lie down, I'll never be able to get up again!"
As he spoke, the old man reached out and gently tapped the keyboard again.
"How is Elder Lin?!" Just as the researcher was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do, Mo Zeyang's voice came from the side.
"Academician Mo!" The researcher, as if he had found a pillar of support, quickly ran to Mo Zeyang's side: "Academician Mo, Elder Lin still refuses to rest!"
Mo Zeyang walked quickly to Academician Lin Hongsheng's side.
The moment he saw the old man's expression, his heart skipped a beat.
His face was haggard, his lips were pale and trembling, but his eyes still shone with an amazing light!
"Old Lin! You need to rest!" Mo Zeyang said in a deep voice, "Your body won't be able to take it like this!"
"Little Mo, you've arrived..." Hearing Mo Zeyang's voice, the old man's lips trembled. "I told them not to bother you, but they wouldn't listen!"
"Old Lin!" The old man's tone made Mo Zeyang's heart tighten.
"Xiao Mo, don't stop me." The old man took a deep breath and coughed a few more times. "I know my own body."
