Dewitt: "Freeze first, then thaw; thaw first, then freeze?"
Tang Jiang: "That's right. The later the freezing takes place, the more mature the technology will be, the greater the odds of preserving the human body intact, and the higher the success rate of thawing. So this is a possibility for achieving immortality."
Dewitt: "How did you come to understand all this?"
Tang Jiang: "I've been working for Song He recently, and I've also read quite a bit about medicine. I've read papers on human cryonics."

Tang Jiang: "I don't know. He just reads papers from morning to night. Since he's been reading papers in this field, he must have some ideas, but I don't know whether he'll turn those ideas into action. If you're willing to be frozen, I can persuade Song He to work on the technology!"
Dewitt: "All right. I'll look into it further. This is quite interesting."
Dewitt: "Speaking of Song He, when are you going to stop working for him and seriously return to mathematical research?"
Tang Jiang: "Sorry, Teacher, but he's paying me far too much!"
"Slave of Money! You're hopeless!" Dewitt grumbled as he ended the conversation.
Song He switched out of the chat interface, found Lu Chengen's number in his contacts, and called him.
The moment the call connected, he asked bluntly, "What projects is the Chenghuang Institute working on lately?"
"Too many! The three research institutes currently have more than six thousand researchers at work, and they've launched over seventy R&D projects simultaneously. There are three main directions!" Lu Chengen answered swiftly, clearly a capable institute leader.
"The first direction is developing new antibiotics. Apparently, a super bacteria resistant to Song He Su has already appeared. The second
