Although Li Lechen already knew that people in the future could live for hundreds of years, it was still hard for people to accept the idea of constantly replacing organs, especially those taken from living people.
Just thinking about it, the health assistant clearly caught on. According to her program settings, it was necessary to eliminate this kind of thinking from consumers. So she explained: "Don't worry, these medical resources are not conscious. They are just a bunch of meat put together. In nature, they are no different from 7D printed fruits and vegetables."
I stopped thinking about it because I knew that if I thought too much, I would be brainwashed again. The brainwashing process was to make me accept that these genetically modified people were unconscious and that their organs were transplanted into my body. It was similar to eating an apple or breaking a tree branch.
But in fact, even without using your brain, you can tell with your eyes that this group of genetically modified humans who can walk, line up, and eat cannot possibly be just a lump of flesh.
"I'd like to know, what happens to the medical resources that have had parts of their organs removed?" Li Lechen asked in turn.
The health assistant paused, her tone somewhat somber: "I don't recommend you know the answer. Under normal circumstances, we would carry out humanitarian destruction. After all, even if only a small part of an organ is removed, the function of the remaining organs will be affected. If we were to transplant those affected organs back to consumers, it would be deceiving them. At least for individuals like you, we will not reuse medical resources."
"So how do you handle them?"
Li Lechen reiterated this question, making it clear that he wanted to know.
Having already known so much, Li Lechen wasn't afraid to learn something even more disgusting. He had already imagined these genetically modified humans being cut into pieces and kept in some dark place with oxygen tanks, only to be cut a few more times when needed, until they couldn't be cut any more, and then cremated or something like that.
The health assistant remained silent and did not answer the question.
Li Lechen was somewhat annoyed: "If you can't even answer this kind of question, your medical technology is questionable."
"Of course not!" the health assistant quickly denied. "I was just afraid you wouldn't be able to accept this result."
However, the health assistant quickly understood and smiled again, saying, "But someone as wealthy as you naturally doesn't need to drink recycled water."
Recycled water? How did things suddenly change from genetically modified humans to recycled water? Li Lechen didn't understand the connection between the two.
"I can show you around the medical waste treatment plant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene shifted, and he was in another place.
It really does feel like a garbage disposal station, with huge metal boxes connected to an assembly line on one side and a pipe on the other.
Just as Li Lechen was about to ask what would be on the assembly line, he suddenly saw a head being slowly brought over from the assembly line.
Immediately afterwards, arms, thighs, and seemingly hollowed-out torsos were sent piece by piece from the assembly line into that huge metal box.
The machine vibrated slightly, indicating that something was being done inside.
Circulating water... Li Lechen remembered what the health assistant had said before, could it be...?
Looking at the pipe at the other end, clear water was indeed flowing out...
"The human body is 70% water, and we cannot waste this medical waste. Turning waste into drinking water is the ideal way."
Li Lechen couldn't help but gag. Although he had never drunk the recycled water from the future world, it was still water, and the thought that it was made from corpses made him unable to drink a single drop.
Most importantly, just a few days ago he was still trying to sell his special vitamin C effervescent tablets, and right now the dorm supervisor should still have a big box of ingredients he bought online, all for detoxifying the circulating water. Isn't circulating water supposed to be purified from urine? Urine and corpses are completely different things.
"This is the only option we have," the health assistant continued, trying to persuade them. "With such a severe water shortage, we can't afford to waste such valuable medical waste. Without enough recycled water, many people in the contaminated areas and even the quarantine zones will die."
Li Lechen understood that if only the top-tier tycoons who could afford to consume natural resources remained, they would not be happy without the sense of superiority derived from comparison.
"What about the remaining 30%? It can't just disappear into thin air, can it?" Li Lechen asked.
“Of course not,” the health assistant said. “Besides being turned into recycled water, the remaining medical waste will become 7D printing materials, which will be used to print fruits, vegetables and food.”
"vomit--"
This time, Li Lechen really vomited.
In other words, most people in the future will not only drink water made from corpses, but their food will also be derived from corpses. Even if those are just elements, it's still truly disgusting.
“Dear Wind Chaser, if you feel unwell, I will arrange a check-up for you right away,” the health assistant suggested with concern. “In addition, your personal medical record has been created and can be used at any time according to your needs.”
By this point, Li Lechen naturally knew what the so-called "medical records" were. No wonder they needed to collect his blood...
In the lecture hall.
"...Due to the shortage of donors and the body's own rejection response, the development of organ transplantation technology has been extremely difficult. The application of cloning technology can undoubtedly effectively solve these problems. This is because cloning one's own organs can avoid rejection, which will bring hope to many patients..."
On the podium, Hu Shuo was giving a lecture. Considering that they were all high school students, the so-called health knowledge lecture would not be about eye hygiene or personal health like it was for elementary school students. If he didn't talk about some cutting-edge topics, he was afraid no one would listen.
Although, there weren't many people listening at the moment.
Li Lechen felt unwell after seeing some rather unexpected things at the hospital, and he had just gagged a few times, causing Lin Kun and Luo Li, who were sitting next to him, to look at him with surprise.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Kun couldn't help but ask.
"Could she be pregnant?" Luo Li said, half-jokingly.
Li Lechen rolled his eyes at Luo Li and said, "Don't you guys think the air in this lecture hall is very stuffy?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Kun frowned, looked around, and sniffed, saying, "It's probably because the air conditioner is on and the doors and windows are closed."
Luo Li, however, didn't seem to care: "This large lecture hall might not be used even once every three months. The air conditioning ducts must be full of bacteria. Right now, with so many of us sitting here, all of us with our lungs, it's a natural air purifier."
That being said, it's really hard to swallow.
Looking at the time, there were still twenty minutes left before the lecture ended. Li Lechen then considered whether he should talk to Huo Jiujian and Lai Haoren.
