I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

“Hmm…”

Lin Chen's consciousness seemed to have returned to his body, but he felt that he was in a strange place. It was pitch black all around him, with no light at all.

He wanted to reach out his hand, but he had no "concept" of hands at all, as if he had never had hands.

Just floating in mid-air, with no sense of the passage of time and unable to move.

For Lin Chen, in this space, one minute seemed like more than ten years.

This feeling can completely drive a normal person to collapse.

Even Lin Chen couldn't help but frown. After all, the world was changing at a rapid pace, and he couldn't stay in this dark space for too long:

"Hasn't my consciousness returned to my body? How did I suddenly come here? How much time has passed?"

Suddenly, Lin Chen had an idea:

"chip!"

"bite!"

A light blue light was projected in front of Lin Chen's eyes. Although it still could not illuminate the darkness, it made him feel much better.

"It is detected that the subject's brain waves are lower than the normal frequency. Various organs will fail as a result. Should we forcibly stimulate the body's functions, secrete hormones, and stimulate the operation of various organs? Please note that this behavior will cause a greater burden on the body. Please make a careful decision!"

Below normal frequency, falling into coma, organ failure...isn't this a vegetative state?

Lin Chen's expression darkened. He didn't expect that even after getting rid of the female tree, his reincarnated body almost couldn't wake up. If the chip hadn't returned, he would probably have continued to be in a coma.

Even if I can wake up now, but Su Mu is distracted...

Countless thoughts surged in his mind, but he still quickly gave instructions:

"Stimulate the body's functions and force the body to wake up."

"yes."

"Obtaining the subject's authority, taking over the body's control, and eliminating the abnormal state..."

As the mechanical sound of the chip rang out, a strange wave suddenly appeared in the dark space.

Soon, the darkness in front of my eyes faded away like a tide, all kinds of noisy sounds suddenly rang in my ears, waves of severe pain surged into my mind, and the scene in front of me became blurred in the intersection of darkness and light... The ethereal and strange feeling completely dissipated, and all kinds of information brought by the body's perception flooded into my heart at this moment.

The first thing Lin Chen smelled was a strong smell of disinfectant, then he felt a soft and comfortable bed under him instead of the cold ground, and he heard loud shouting next to his ears... It seemed that he had been transferred to the hospital.

As the light came into view, the scene was blurry at first, then slowly became clear, and finally what appeared was a blank ceiling.

"Achen, you finally woke up!"

Following the voice, Lin Chen saw a young man who was older than himself and slightly bald. It was his senior brother Fang Zhengyang, who was looking at him excitedly.

Glancing at the surroundings, he saw all kinds of top-notch medical equipment. However, what concerned Lin Chen more was that even the windows of this ward were made of top-notch bulletproof glass, and the walls seemed to be specially made to withstand the bombardment of ordinary shells. The doctors in front of him were all tall and strong, with calluses on their hands and bulging waists... It seemed that the hospital here was not open to the public.

"Su Mu is like this, and so is my senior brother." After the medical staff checked and confirmed that there was no problem, Lin Chen looked at Fang Zhengyang and said, "Among the five disciples of the master, I am not the only one who does not know about this kind of incident, right?"

The hospital here is obviously extraordinary. After the incident in the supernatural branch, it was transferred here. This senior brother can stay here and wait for him to wake up, which shows that he has already known about such things and his status is not low.

Fang Changqing has five disciples, and he was the last one to be accepted as his last disciple. Su Mu is the second to last. Judging from the fact that Fang Zhengyang appeared here, it seems that he is the only one who knew about this last.

"I originally wanted to tell you about this after you graduated with your doctorate, but who would have thought that you would be involved." Fang Zhengyang smiled bitterly, "And in order to deal with this matter, the Tianhai City Supernatural Research Institute branch suffered heavy losses..."

"Hmm?" After handing the chip to Su Mu, Lin Chen really didn't know what happened afterwards. He only knew that Su Mu seemed to be seriously injured, but he was not very clear about other specific circumstances. "How many casualties are there?"

"Except for the special forces, almost all of the frontline personnel responsible for handling this incident were wiped out. Even though the incident was successfully handled later, the Tianhai City Supernatural Research Institute branch suffered unprecedented damage. At least most of the personnel in the command hall and in the institute at that time have become vegetative, with only a few people waking up."

"If it weren't for the different composition of the [Supernatural Research Institute] and the [Human Civilization Supernatural Disaster Headquarters], we are composed of scientists from various fields, and most of us are conducting experiments in major universities, institutions and secret bases in Tianhai City, instead of working together like the latter, I'm afraid we would have been completely wiped out in this attack."

"No one would have thought that a supernatural event that had only just occurred and had not yet been classified would be able to bypass our civilization's existing defenses and directly affect the command center, causing such heavy casualties..."

Having said that, Fang Zhengyang couldn't help sighing, with a lingering look of fear on his face.

If he had not been conducting an experimental analysis on a mutated creature at Tianhai University at that time and had avoided this disaster, he would probably be lying in the ward as a vegetable.

Such a heavy loss?

That person is dead, so doesn't that mean the position above is vacant? Then doesn't that mean I can have more responsibilities?

After hearing these words, the first thought that came to Lin Chen’s mind was this.

cough!

Please forgive me for being a little unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is how the world is. Everyone has their own job. If the person at the top doesn't die, how can the person below have a chance to climb up?

Even if he has Fang Changqing's support, three to five years would be considered fast for him to climb up. Even if his mentor allows him to have the right to conduct independent research, the old people who have been in the institute for a long time will not listen to a young man like you because of the lack of funding, laboratories, venues, personnel and other aspects. They might even hinder his research out of jealousy.

He can't take action because of this. After all, there is a limit to how you fight because of human relationships. Otherwise, if you completely break the rules, the entire system will target you.

But it’s different now. Most of the people are gone, so the research institute must recruit more people to fill the gap. That’s an opportunity for me to make progress.

Of course, there is no problem at the Supernatural Research Institute, but Lin Chen did not forget that there is also the [Headquarters for Human Civilization to Response to Supernatural Disasters] which is also responsible for such incidents and may take this opportunity to profit.

But that is the external struggle of the institute, and the resistance is always smaller than that within.

"So, isn't this an opportunity? Since everyone is dead, I have to look forward. When I get to a high position, I can eliminate dissidents... No, I want to investigate those people who dare to embezzle and corrupt those who don't listen to me!"

Fang Zhengyang naturally didn't know that Lin Chen had thought so much in an instant. He thought that he was mourning in his heart and was afraid, so when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Lin Chen saw something and asked directly.

"This..." Fang Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "In order to deal with this supernatural incident, Su Mu is in a very bad state, he..."

"Dead?" Lin Chen glanced at Fang Zhengyang, and the calmness on his face surprised the latter.

Then he quickly replied:

"In order to solve this incident, he perished together with the source of the supernatural monster. Although he activated the escape pod system in time, half of his body was completely blown away, and even his heart stopped beating..."

"That means you are not dead, otherwise you wouldn't talk so much nonsense." Lin Chen said lightly.

"Yes..." Fang Zhengyang couldn't help but choke. He didn't know why, but every time he communicated with his junior fellow apprentice, he felt like he was standing naked in front of him, with all his secrets seen through. He couldn't help but say awkwardly, "Yes, the instructor said that as long as most of the nerve cells in the brain can be preserved, Su Mu can be resurrected, but this may cause him to lose a lot of his memories, causing him to forget us..."

With the chip, memory is not a problem, but with only a brain left, as long as there are nerve cells in it, a person can be resurrected...

Sci-fi weapons created by studying supernatural things... [Bio-printer] and [Cloning Chamber]?

However, these clones should not have real souls, because the souls of living beings in this world are all the pollen of the Soul-Returning Tree, which is the most essential thing for living beings in this world, equivalent to the true spirit. Even in real time and space, it cannot be cloned at will.

"In that case, where is he?" Lin Chen asked.

"He is in a laboratory somewhere now. I will take you there when you are better..."

"That's perfect..."

After a brief exchange, Fang Zhengyang left the ward, leaving Lin Chen alone to rest.

He pinched his brows. After killing the female tree, there seemed to be something extra in his mind, or perhaps something gave birth to an organ that the human body should not have.

He still had no idea what the function of this organ was, but it was obviously not a bad thing.

But that’s not important right now…

"call……"

After the door was closed, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.

Since the start of the East China Sea War, he can be said to have been in a life-and-death battle all the time. Even after reincarnating into this new world, he almost died at the hands of this fake person. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, so naturally he had to relax.

He doesn't need any entertainment. As long as he can empty his mind and have a good rest, he will naturally recover soon.

call--

A gust of wind blew, bringing a slight chill. Lin Chen turned his head and saw that the window sill in the room had been opened at some point, and the evening breeze blew into the room.

It was still night. Did I sleep for a while, or a day and a night?

This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind. After thinking about it, he got out of bed and planned to close the window.

After all, he still has a mortal body. In such a weak condition, it is easy for him to get sick if the wind blows, which would be bad.

But just when he came to the window and was about to close it, he looked out inadvertently and was stunned.

Outside the window, there seemed to be a vast forest.

There are countless towering ancient trees, verdant weeds growing horizontally, and dense vines spreading... When the wind blows, countless tree shadows sway, and there are faint sounds of insects. You can also see tiny fireflies everywhere, giving people the feeling that this place is like a jungle on a summer night.

But the problem is, it’s… winter now.

And this special hospital is located on the outskirts of Tianhai City, which he can understand, but is it necessary to be stationed in such a dense jungle?

Although this place is not as good as the subtropical rainforest, it is much better than the forest developed by humans... Is there such a place in the suburbs of Tianhai City?

When Lin Chen saw this scene, he inexplicably felt uneasy.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. What the ancients said is not without reason.

And it's not just the jungle that's weird, there's also...

Lin Chen looked up at the sky, and saw that at this moment, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sky was extremely blue, like a dark abyss, with a depth that was rarely seen in normal times.

But this is not the most special thing. The most special thing is that tonight should be a moonlit night with sparse stars, but strangely, in the corner of the east, there is a star that is exceptionally bright.

The brightness exceeded the stars that humans usually see. There was even a clear halo around them like the moon, which made the night sky look pale.

"Why are these stars so bright?"

Since Lin Chen was not an astronomer before he traveled through time, and he was reincarnated into this new world in the field of biology, he really didn't understand much about astronomical phenomena.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this was normal or abnormal.

What he didn't know was that at the moment when this star shone brightly, not only him, but scholars in many areas of this blue planet also noticed this phenomenon. Among them, those who knew the inside story looked at this scene with an indescribable heaviness on their faces.

"But no matter what happens, just keep climbing."

Lin Chen thought for a while and gave up looking for the answer. He closed the window and prepared to have a good rest before dealing with his subordinates' matters tomorrow.

It's not his fault that he is so careless or stupid, but this phenomenon that concerns the whole world is not something that he, a person with little influence, can influence now.

Even if you know it, so what? It will be of no use except causing anxiety.

After all, you have no people, no interests, and no power, so even if you know, it will be useless. You don't really think that with that little information gap and storing some food at home, you can resist this kind of global disaster, right?

So instead of thinking too much, it is better to deal with the current situation and climb up, the higher the better.

As long as you climb high enough, you will be told these things without having to ask, and you don’t have to deal with them, the people below will help you solve them.

Therefore, why so many people want to climb up since ancient times? It is not just because of greed, but also to enhance their ability to deal with risks so as not to become a chess piece that knows nothing and can be abandoned at any time.

As for giving up competition, leaving your fate to others, and wanting to live a happy and stable life... I can only say that unless your relatives help you pay the price, it is simply impossible in this cruel world. (End of this chapter)
