Starry Sky Technology and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study had once again become the focus of the world's attention because of Neural-Interface Virtual Reality Technology.
Under normal circumstances, as the legal representative of Starry Sky Technology and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou should have at least held a press conference, stood before the cameras to respond to public expectations, and perfunctorily addressed the concerns of people with too much time on their hands regarding this new technology.
However, he was not at a press conference or beneath any spotlight at the moment. Instead, he stood quietly in a hospital room.
This hospital room had a special name: the "Cryogenic Hibernation Ward."
Besides the first person to undergo Cryogenic Hibernation, it housed terminally ill patients who had been transferred here through various means over the past six months.
Compared with the costly ICU, Cryogenic Hibernation was relatively inexpensive.
Other than the somewhat costly Martian Bacteria extract sent from the Moon, the electricity required to keep the hibernation devices running was not particularly expensive.
Of course, this so-called affordability was only relative to other treatment methods.
Beside a "bed" not far from Lu Zhou stood a woman who had also come to visit someone.
She appeared to be in her forties or fifties. She held the hand of a boy around five or six years old, and faint tear tracks that broke the heart could be seen amid the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
The person frozen there was probably her husband. Though the child beside her looked bewildered, he remained sensibly silent.
Noticing Lu Zhou standing nearby, the woman looked surprised, apparently recognizing him.
After hesitating for a moment, she led her son over and cautiously asked,
"Hello, are you... Academician Lu?"
Lu Zhou
