Chapter 49 Hibernation Chamber

"What method?" Lin Xian asked curiously.

"Violent destruction."

The employee of the safe company explained to Lin Xian:
"One of our clients had a similar situation. The financial director was in a car accident, and the company needed to use the official seal in the safe urgently, so they took the entire safe to a scrap processing plant and cut it open with an [oxyacetylene cutting torch]."

"This safe is stamped from solid steel. It cannot be opened with ordinary cutting machines or crowbars, and even explosives cannot open it. It can only be cut open with an [oxyacetylene cutting gun] at high temperature. This is also the last resort."

Ok?
Lin Xian suddenly had an idea:
"What gun did you say?"

"An oxyacetylene cutting torch is a spray gun that burns high-pressure acetylene. It can form an ultra-high temperature jet flame of 3000 degrees Celsius, and then cut the steel by melting it. It is very commonly used in the industrial field."

Say it.

The two staff members picked up the procedure form, asked Lin Xian to sign it, left a note book and contact number, and left.

"Oxyacetylene cutting torch..."

Lin Xian wrote down the name.

The safe with my name on it in the dream... the paint had peeled off and it was rusted in many places. It was undoubtedly made of steel.

In front of the 3000-degree ultra-high temperature gas cutting gun...

Definitely fragile and tofu-like!
……

Lin Xian originally thought that he would soon be able to enter the dream and cut open the safe with his name on it.

But things backfired.

These days have been really busy.

As the press conference was approaching, the workload was heavy every day. Lin Xian and his team members worked overtime until the early morning before going home. He didn’t even have a chance to fall asleep. He hadn’t had a dream for several days.

It's not just him.

Everyone in the company was as busy as ever. All departments were working overtime to catch up with the deadline. Staying up late or even working all night was the norm. Even Zhao Yingjun, who was always delicate, had dark circles under her eyes.

This afternoon.

Lin Xian had just finished a job at hand.

Ding-a-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling--

The cell phone rings.

Lin Xian looked at the caller ID...

"Professor Xu Yun?"

I haven't contacted you for several days. Is there any new news?

Lin Xian picked up the phone.

Answer the phone——

"Lin Xian! Do you have time now?"

On the other end of the phone, Professor Xu Yun's voice was extremely excited and excited:
"I would like to invite you to witness a historic moment!"

Witnessing a historic moment?

Could it be...

Has Professor Xu Yun completely mastered the filling fluid of the hibernation chamber?
Lin Xian looked at the time. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

To be honest, he was very happy for Xu Yun, but he was not very interested in witnessing the results of scientific research.

However... it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and he didn't want to spoil Professor Xu Yun's interest:
"Okay, Mr. Xu, please wait for me for a moment. I will go to Donghai University to find you."

Put down the phone.

Lin Xian arranged work for his subordinates and then went out to take a taxi to Tunghai University.

……

Came to Professor Xu Yun’s laboratory.

The other party excitedly pulled Lin Xian to a sealed cabin:

"Look, this little white mouse here, the entire system has been stable at -60 degrees for 40 hours."

"During these 40 hours, the mouse has been in a deep sleep. Even though it didn't move, didn't eat or excrete, there was absolutely no problem with its vital signs! It was very stable!"

Lin Xian moved closer to the sealed cabin.

The cabin wall was unusually cold, emitting a cool breeze. Lin Xian deliberately stood farther away and leaned his head forward.

He saw that the sealed cabin was filled with light blue liquid, and in the middle of the liquid, curled up a little white mouse covered with various monitoring electrodes and catheters.

This little white mouse was unusually quiet...it was almost as quiet as if it were dead.

But after watching carefully for more than ten seconds, I found that the abdomen sometimes had very weak rise and fall.

It means he is not dead yet.

Professor Xu Yun pointed to the monitoring screen next to him and explained the numbers on it to Lin Xian:

"The heart rate of a normal mouse is about 500-700 beats per minute. This is why they have a short lifespan of only three or four years."

"In the natural animal world, animals with slower heartbeats have longer lifespans. In contrast, the respiratory rate of a normal mouse is about 150 times per minute."

“But look at it now.”

Professor Xu Yun pointed to the two numbers on the monitoring screen:

Monitor heart rate: 21 beats per minute
Respiratory rate: 7 times per minute
"Did you see that, Lin Xian? Both its heartbeat and breathing have slowed down by 20 to 30 times! The efficiency of its various life activities has been reduced by 20 to 30 times. You can simply think that..."

"[In this low-temperature sealed chamber, the aging rate of the mice was slowed down by 20 to 30 times.]"

Lin Xian nodded.

He could understand the concept.

Hibernation in science fiction movies is about people sleeping in a hibernation chamber. Hundreds or thousands of years pass by, and after waking up, they are as normal as ever.

But science fiction is science fiction after all.

Real scientific research must be done step by step.

A sealed cabin like Professor Xu Yun’s is probably just a simplified “first generation hibernation cabin, youth version”, which is far from the concept of true hibernation and can only reduce the efficiency of life activities by 20 to 30 times.

If this equipment can run stably.

So after twenty or thirty years outside, the actual lifespan of the mouse may only increase by one year.

This allowed a little white mouse, which was supposed to only live for three or four years, to successfully "travel" to the future world decades later.

Of course, this is just an experiment on mice.

How long can it last when actually used on humans? How many times can it reduce life activities? These are still unknown.

"The real difficulty of hibernation technology is not in freezing, but in [thawing and waking up]."

Professor Xu Yun patiently explained to Lin Xian:
"Next, here comes the truly historic moment that I invite you to witness."

"We want to wake up this little mouse that hibernated for 60 hours at an ultra-low temperature of -40 degrees Celsius."

Lin Xian didn't understand much, so he just stood there stupidly and watched Professor Xu Yun operate.

Gradually……

The temperature of the sealed cabin slowly rose, and it took about half an hour to slowly rise to about ten degrees.

Then Professor Xu Yun performed another series of complicated operations.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak!"

The little white mouse in the sealed cabin began to get restless, rolling around wildly in the sealed cabin filled with light blue liquid! Its nails kept rubbing against the cabin wall!
"Don't worry. This liquid has a very high dissolved oxygen content. It can carry out normal oxygen exchange after entering the lungs. Of course... it will definitely cause a lot of discomfort."

Professor Xu Yun covered his lungs and looked at Lin Xian:

"It will definitely be uncomfortable, but it can ensure breathing and there is no risk of suffocation. However, I haven't tried it, so it's just speculation at the moment."

Subsequently.

Professor Xu Yun emptied the liquid in the sealed cabin, took out the trembling little white mouse, and tore off all the electrodes on its body.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The little white mouse swung its arms wildly to shake off the liquid in its fur, then jumped out of Professor Xu Yun's hand and jumped up and down in the laboratory like crazy.

“It’s really vibrant.”

Lin Xian sighed:
"It's hard to imagine that I just pretended to be dead for 40 hours, and in a temperature of -60 degrees Celsius..."

Technology is amazing.

If you really put a person in a temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius, he would probably die in no time, frozen to a crisp.

Professor Xu Yun smiled slightly:
"Although there are still many problems to be solved, the successful hibernation and awakening of this little mouse means that this liquid, this hibernation chamber filling liquid, is perfect. The relevant hibernation theory is also absolutely correct."

It can be seen that Xu Yun is genuinely happy, as his vegetative daughter finally has hope.

Lin Xian looked at the jumping little white mouse and asked curiously:
"Teacher Xu."

"You estimate that once the hibernation chamber research is successful..."

“How many years will it take?”
