Lu Chengen: "Are you done? There have been some new developments with Hibernation Technology that you might be interested in. If you have time, let's have a video conference."
Song He: "I'm free."
He was just about to create a video conference room when another new message arrived.
Lou Jinghui: "Mathematics Night has concluded. Boss, are you done? I haven't reported on the Infant Incubation Pod's progress in a while. Will you come to the lab sometime, or should I give you an online report?"
Song He finished setting up a video conference room and simply pulled Lu Chengen and Lou Jinghui into it, turning it into a three-way meeting.
The three men's oversized faces appeared on the screen, and they all froze for a moment.

After their moment of stunned silence, the three of them burst into laughter at the same time, finding the scene hilarious.
"Professor Lu, you go first!" Song He stopped laughing. "How is Hibernation Technology progressing?"
"We conducted hibernation experiments on macaques, dogs, and young goats. All three species successfully survived three repeated cycles of hibernation and thawing!"
As Lu Chengen spoke, he displayed photographs to the camera.
The first set consisted of more than a dozen photos. Bright-eyed monkeys were strapped to operating tables, given anesthetics, connected to Extracorporeal Circulation Equipment, and subjected to blood replacement. Then their chests and skulls were surgically opened, exposing their internal organs and Brain Tissue.
The eviscerated monkeys were rapidly frozen and stored in Liquid Nitrogen. An hour later, they were warmed and thawed, their cryoprotectant and blood were replaced, and they underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation and suturing. The monkeys were successfully revived, their eyes filled
