The cryogenic hibernation procedure went quite smoothly.
With the help of the Martian bacteria, Vera passed safely through the dangerous temperature range inside the hibernation pod and successfully reached the optimal temperature for cryogenic hibernation.
Although it was a risky undertaking that had not gone through the full clinical trial approval process, it had undeniably succeeded.
Still, it was too early to celebrate and assume everything was settled. Professor Liu Zuobing and his research team still had a mountain of problems waiting to be dealt with.
In fact, these were also Lu Zhou's problems. After all, both in name and in practice, he was the project's actual academic leader, as well as the director of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which had initiated it.
If they disclosed everything at once, the public would probably find it difficult to accept immediately. After all, even in academia, cryogenic hibernation technology was a cutting-edge and highly controversial subject.
Regardless of whether someone could wake up in the future, whether a person whose heart had stopped beating in the present could be considered alive was still open to debate.
Not to mention all the other moral, ethical, and assorted issues involved.
Following the advice of Academician Zhao Zhongji and the director of 301 Hospital, Lu Zhou discussed the matter with Professor Liu Zuobing and ultimately decided to disclose this controversial human cryogenic hibernation technology in stages, in an orderly sequence.
Although resistance from public opinion would actually be fairly limited for both 301 Hospital and Lu Zhou himself, a relatively gentle approach was still preferable when they had a choice.
Shangjing Medical University.
Following the plan everyone had agreed upon, Professor Liu Zuobing held a lecture on cryobiology there.
Although cryobiology and low-temperature biology were fields so obscure that their popularity was
