Reborn Technology Scholar

Qin Yuanqing naturally paid attention to this news.

"Johnson & Johnson and Blue Origin are really powerful companies that dare to use freezing technology for clinical trials. It seems that the power of capital is indeed strong and can break through various obstacles. If the obstacles are not broken, it can only be said that the capital invested

Not enough, and the potential benefits are not big enough!" Qin Yuanqing looked at the news and shook his head.

Hibernation chamber technology is essentially human cryonics technology!

Cryonics, also known as human refrigeration, is an experimental medical science and technology that refrigerated and preserves human bodies or animals at extremely low temperatures. It is hoped that in the future, they can be thawed, resurrected and treated through advanced medical technology.

The world's largest human refrigeration companies have always been the Alcor Life Extension Fund and the American Cryonics Institute of the United States.

Everyone thinks that this technology has just been born, but in fact it is not. The fees for cryonics technology were announced many years ago. The fees range from US$9,000 to US$200,000. The fees depend on different companies, services, countries or

It depends on the region. Even the finance in this area is very complete. Human body cryopreservers do not need to pay the cost in one lump sum. Instead, they can consider paying in the form of life insurance or paying in installments.

The reason why it has not caused much commotion is because cryonics technology has been debated endlessly, whether it is academic, religious, philosophical, moral or ethical, or other aspects.

For example, in terms of philosophy and ethics, many religious people believe that cryonics technology conflicts with religion, mainly because the human soul has left and the technology cannot freeze the human soul. Regarding this part of the worries and considerations, the cryonics company

It is given by people who believe that cryonics is like sleeping or comatose for a long time, and their souls will not leave the body. Cryonics technology is the same as other medical technologies, and it only tries to heal and extend the lives of frozen people.

The company also believes that refrigerated people are just like sick patients. Therefore, the cryonics company believes that there is no conflict between cryonics technology and religion.

However, religious people do not agree with the claims of cryonics companies and other institutions engaged in this research. They believe that birth, old age, illness and death are common for people. If people are frozen and then awakened later, they will be incomplete in the middle, and there is no doubt that life will be

.The beauty of life lies in its shortness and duration.

Not only religious figures are strongly opposed to this technology, but many scholars have also expressed concerns about this technology. They say that this technology is not as beautiful as imagined, and it will exacerbate the solidification of classes. If everyone dreams of going to the future

, Then no one will build the present. Especially when these three percent of people who dream of going to the future control 97% of the social resources and wealth in the world, which will bring

The problem will not only be as simple as the solidification of classes, but may even push the global economy into the lane of reverse growth, eventually leading the global society to a dystopian ending...

It can be said that the birth of this technology has faced great controversy and resistance from the beginning. Except for those rich people who hope that they will not die from diseases with this technology and can wake up and receive treatment in the future, they now

They are rich people. Even in a hundred years, unless something particularly bad happens, they will still be rich when they wake up.

Qin Yuanqing actually admires Johnson & Johnson and Blue Origin for daring to take the lead in tearing off the veil. Of course, he also saw the figure of the human refrigeration company behind this matter. There are no less than 30 human refrigeration companies in the world, but it has always been

They are all working underground and dare not bring it to the table fairly, but they are not willing to do so. After all, this is a large amount of wealth. Once the society recognizes it, they can quickly go public and the market value will skyrocket, and the wealth in their hands will skyrocket.

In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, they had placed various orders for hundreds of wealthy people to undergo human cryonics, and many of them even chose the top package, and this top package cost 100 million US dollars.

cost.

But then Qin Yuanqing frowned. Although the joint research between Johnson & Johnson and Blue Origin has achieved great progress in human cryonics technology, it is obvious that the side effects are still considerable. After all, the monkey obviously had multiple injuries.

.

And there is a problem, that is, this monkey has only been refrigerated for 67 days, but what will happen if the refrigeration time is extended, such as 1 year, 10 years or even 20 years?

Due to many public opinions, China has not carried out research on cryonics technology openly, but in fact, cryonics technology has been researched in a secret base. After all, this technology is necessary in the interstellar era.

Even in terms of human cryonics technology, China has gone further. By studying the genes of turtles, snakes, and related research on hibernating animals, China is actually leading the world in human cryonics technology. By 2027

, a frozen corpse was found in an ice cave in the Kunlun Mountains. Related research on the human body awakened this person. It seemed fine at first. The person was still a person from the Wanli world of the Ming Dynasty. However, within a month, this awakened ancient person

The person died, without any injuries, and died inexplicably.

So the research points to the soul. It is true that metabolism of the human body almost does not occur when refrigerated, but the human soul will not be frozen. Even if it is sleeping, the human soul is still continuing and being eroded by the years, so even if it is awakened

After that, the ancient people were very simple, but in fact their souls were almost eroded by the years, and their souls dissipated soon after they woke up.

It can be said that one of the bottlenecks China currently encounters in hibernation cabin technology is related to the soul, and that is how to ensure the safety of the soul.

Otherwise, the current sleep cabin technology is actually only suitable for short-distance interstellar voyages, such as one or two years, and it is not suitable for longer distances. For example, for 10 years of interstellar voyages, the astronauts may not be able to survive after being awakened.

How long did it take for the astronaut's soul to collapse and die?

But the soul is a very mysterious field. Even though most scholars in the Chinese scientific community believe that the soul exists, there are still some scholars who think that the soul is nonsense because they cannot provide reliable evidence. To be honest, the soul is

existing.

Even though Qin Yuanqing believed that the soul existed, he could not convince everyone of this view.

Sure enough, as soon as the New York Times report came out, the stock prices of Johnson & Johnson and Blue Origin soared, and the confidence of the human refrigeration company was also encouraged. However, it soon put them in the whirlpool of public opinion. For a time, the popularity of the topic was suppressed.

NASA's upcoming manned landing project on Mars.

There are many debates about cryonics and dormancy technology, but the vast majority of ordinary people are opposed to it.

Even if it may provide a possibility of survival for terminally ill patients, the cost of maintaining a refrigeration unit for decades is not an expense that ordinary people can afford no matter how you think about it.

If such technology is destined to only serve the upper class, and the resulting social costs are passed on to "woke people," then the people at the bottom seem to have no reason to support its existence.

A certain Dutch performance art painter even painted a satirical oil painting about this, placing a mummy frozen in an ice coffin on a throne, and a group of servants in suits kneeling down to it, with shackles in their hands leading a group of

Ragged slaves. It is a metaphor for those rich people who try to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future, just like the pharaohs thousands of years ago.

A certain North American science fiction writer even used a poignant style to describe a dystopian society ruled by a group of ice coffins that never wake up, and servants who never want their masters to wake up.

In that dystopian society, people lived in extreme poverty, social development stagnated, and classes were solidified to the point where it was almost impossible for a person to achieve class crossing through his own efforts, because the vast majority of wealth was monopolized in those "eternal life"

into the hands of "their" and their servants.

Although in a sense, these views are one-sided, the problems caused by them have indeed attracted the attention of many knowledgeable people.

The question of whether this technology is unethical has been hotly debated both inside and outside academia.

However, the powerful power of capital has been revealed, and it is constantly throwing money at public opinion to explore the abyssal significance of this technology. It is the "controllable nuclear fusion" of the biological world and an indispensable key for mankind to enter the era of interstellar migration.

, at the same time, faced with ethics and morals and various negative remarks, they talked about science and emphasized that science must be respected, and science is correct... It seems that these people who keep waving flags have become firm supporters of science one by one.

He became the living person of Aristotle and Copernicus in ancient Greece.

All the focus of public opinion was on Johnson & Johnson and Blue Origin. The pros and cons had a fierce debate. They even started to get excited in the debate. The society started a fierce debate. At this time,

NASA launched a BFR rocket. This BFR rocket took the spacecraft on a long journey to Mars. They will make a long journey of 230 days to Mars.

NASA seems to be deliberately keeping a low profile. It just released an announcement on its official website. The result is that although there were media reports, it did not attract any attention at all. All the news focused on cryonics technology, and even led to cloning technology, and Vietnam

More and more wealthy people who were considered dead did not actually die, but spent a high price to have their bodies refrigerated, waiting to be awakened in the future. This incident is like adding fuel to the fire, almost making those opponents explode.

Already.

Damn it, I used to laugh at it, no matter how rich the rich are, it doesn’t mean they will die like us civilians if they get the trick. This is a manifestation of the equality of all living beings. But now I am told that the rich are not really dead, they are

I will laugh at them in the future.
