Chapter 824 The Secret of the Body (4)

December 23rd, tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Press ctrl + d to quickly collect """

On this day, the workers were basically on holiday. Except for Catherine's Eden and the university and students who paid a lot of money to continue working, there was no one else here.

But here, some facilities have already started operating, and the hive is now brightly lit.

"Kate, are you here?"

When Catherine first came in, she saw Jenny in a white coat.

"Um……"

Catherine asked Kane, who had come with her, to sit outside, while she went to the third floor of the laboratory with him.

Although there was no air conditioning inside, it seemed to be relatively warm, and Catherine relaxed a lot.

"We will do a routine examination first, and then we will do tests one by one. I will draw some blood later..."

Jenny asked Catherine to take off all her clothes first, and then she was naked like this.

"Come here first."

The first thing to measure was the height and weight, and then Jenny made a guest appearance as a dentist.

"Well...the teeth are very good, so good that it makes people jealous, and they are so white that they make people jealous..."

Jenny looked at the other person's teeth, and then started to look at Catherine's pupils.

"Come over here and test your eyesight."

After finishing these tests, Jenny took out the last measurement data.

"Kate, look."

"Well...it's the same..."

Indeed, in these projects, almost all the data is exactly the same.

"Well, so we're going to do more in-depth tests next...Kate, let's take the blood first."

Jenny took another blood draw from Catherine.

This time, Catherine also noticed that the venous blood that was drawn out was dark red at first, but after entering the test tube, the color became lighter, but because it was sealed, nothing happened after that.

"The situation is the same as last time...you and Elsa haven't done anything these days, right?"

Catherine nodded.

"Well, in this case, it can be completely concluded that it is a matter of your body."

"But what's going on?"

So strange.

"So I'm checking."

"By the way, open your mouth."

Catherine opened her mouth as instructed, and then Jenny used a wooden stick to scrape some secretion on the inside of Catherine's cheek.

"alright……"

Then Jenny took the sample, placed it on the glass slide, covered it, and then fiddled with the scanning electron microscope.

This thing is expensive. This machine alone costs up to 8 million US dollars... just one machine.

After putting it on, Jenny began to adjust it, and judging from her movements, she looked very skillful.

"I've been playing with this thing for the past six months..." Jenny looked excited: "I haven't thought about owning a scanning electron microscope of my own."

"Hey……"

Compared with the extravagant Catherine, Jenny, as a "rich third generation", has saved an unknown amount. It can indeed be described as a reference.

"Huh...alright."

Soon, Catherine saw a round object.

"cell?"

"Yes, your cells."

"————?"

At this moment, Jenny was stunned for a moment.

Because just under the microscope, the cell she observed suddenly began to shrink and age at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then died.

The whole process is completed within ten seconds.

"This...this...is unbelievable...oh, my God..."

Jenny was obviously stunned by the scene in front of her.

But soon, Jenny thought of something again, and then she looked at the blood next to her.

"There is no problem for the time being...but..."

A total of three tubes of blood were drawn here. Jenny opened one tube of blood. Soon, the blood became as bright red as arterial blood, and then... the blood solidified.

"Exactly the same as your cells..."

She was thinking.

"This is really strange...Kate, are you an alien?"

Seeing Jenny's eyes, Catherine felt numb all over.

"This is impossible..."

Did the aliens really turn themselves into aliens?

Somewhat ridiculous.

"Well... maybe we should do a CT scan..."

Jenny said this.

"ct..."

Catherine didn't react...

"ct...?!"

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

"You know?" Jenny raised her eyebrows.

"You said CT? Really CT?" Catherine remembered that there was obviously no CT at this time...?

Jenny nodded and answered Catherine's doubts: "Last year, I saw Hounsfield's announcement about CT machines, and then I used our funds to sponsor the other party and asked them to help us get it too.

A CT machine..."

In 1967, British electronic engineer Hounsfield began work on developing a new technology. He first studied pattern recognition, and then made a simple scanning device that could enhance the x-ray source, later known as CT, for

Conducted experimental scan measurements on people's heads. Later, he used this device to measure the whole body and achieved the same effect.

In September 1971, Hounsfield cooperated with a neuroradiologist, installed the device he designed and manufactured in a hospital outside London, and began to examine the head. On October 4, the hospital used it to examine

The first patient was found. The patient was lying on his back while fully awake.

The x-ray tube is installed above the patient and rotates around the examination site. At the same time, a counter is installed below the patient, so that the amount of x-ray absorption by various parts of the human body is reflected on the counter, and then processed by an electronic computer to make the

The image was displayed on the screen. The experiment was very successful.

After Jenny saw this experiment, she became interested in this kind of machine, and then used a huge amount of money to sponsor the other party, and asked Hounsfield to agree to help Jenny get a whole-body CT machine, and this

This is the one currently in Jenny's laboratory.

"It probably cost about 20 million, and I finally got this big guy..." Jenny patted the machine next to her that was not favored by Catherine.

"I misjudged you..." Catherine took back her previous comment about Jenny's "frugality".

The other party was obviously spending money like water...20 million was thrown away without blinking an eye...

"Come on, Kate, let's do a CT scan~"

Jenny smiled and said to Catherine.

"Um……"

Then, the examination of Catherine's body continued.

After it was over, Jenny looked at the pictures without saying a word.

"Kate, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Jenny asked.

"Good news..."

Catherine said suspiciously.

"The good news is... Judging from these pictures, you should be a very healthy and normal human being, unlikely to be an alien... Well, perfect..."

Catherine also saw the pictures one after another, but she looked at Jenny with suspicious eyes because she had no idea what the pictures in the pictures meant. Maybe she could only recognize her own organs at most...

…

"Where's the bad news?"

Catherine asked again.

"The bad news is that your body is too normal... it's a bit scary to be normal, and it's not an alien..."

Jenny seems to have some resentment towards aliens...?

"Are there any more tests to be done next?"

"Next, I want to do an examination on the digestive system." Jenny said.

"Digestive system?"

"Well, I have prepared a gastroscopy. I want to see the process of your digestion of food. I think this may have some enlightenment for me."

"Jenny..."

"Um……?"

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Catherine's face: "Jenny, are you treating me as a guinea pig...?"

Why do they look more and more alike?

"Uh - is it possible? Is there...? Oh hehehe~"

Jenny let out a strange laugh, seeming to be covering up something...

(Oops, it seems that some of them are too involved...) Catherine is naturally not able to know what Jenny is thinking.

But looking at the other person's appearance, Catherine narrowed her eyes and looked at him.

"Well, let's not talk about this, maybe we should do some other tests... let's do this, Kate, you take this with you first, and then start doing exercises, and I will test it next to you."

Jenny took out something like a watch strap and explained: "This is something to detect your pulse. I want to test your pulse when you exercise, and then see how your body recovers after exercise.

Catherine nodded, it seemed like things were normal.

At this time, Jenny suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Catherine asked

"Is it sinus bradycardia...?"

Jenny said this suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

It doesn't sound like a good term...

"No... Well, you should do the test first..."

Next, under Jenny's surveillance, Catherine was doing a very silly thing: walking up and down on a wooden box, while Jenny was monitoring the people next to her.

"Well...the heartbeat started to speed up...well, everything is normal..."

Jenny kept Catherine sitting and exercising for half an hour.

"During exercise, the heart rate remains at an average of around 70. Maybe we should change to a larger, energy-consuming exercise...?"

Seeing that Catherine was not even sweating, Jenny was thinking.

"Are you sure you want to continue?"

Catherine rolled her eyes.

"If you have a chance... Let's do all the tests we can do today. After all, it's so rare..."

Are you playing for fun...?

Catherine felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, Jenny looked at the values on the machine and frowned again.

"It shouldn't be sinus bradycardia...it's really strange..."
