In a trance, Menjie felt that he was looking in the mirror.
At first, this mirror was like what he had seen countless times in the bathroom. The mirror was covered with water vapor. Except for an extremely abstract outline, nothing could be seen clearly.
Gradually, as the water vapor dissipated, his figure gradually became concrete.
It became clearer and clearer.
Until the young and handsome face was fully revealed.
Menjie shuddered.
Because he knew clearly that he was not taking a bath.
At this moment, he was lying upright in a cramped space, surrounded by cold instruments, but his body did not feel any strangeness.
He could feel that his body temperature had returned to the level that he was once extremely familiar with and even accustomed to.
He widened his eyes and realized that the "mirror" that reflected his face was actually the inside of the top cover of the hibernation capsule.
"Could it be... 20 years have passed?"
He recalled the scene before hibernation, as if it was just yesterday.
At that time, Chen Youran stated that within the 5 years of his dormancy, he would be able to develop a new reagent that would extend the dormancy time to 15 years, which means that he could sleep for up to 20 years.
Menjie pinched his thigh and touched the instrument beside him.
One side was painful, and the other side was cold.
"I'm not dreaming!"
At this time, he was not wearing VR glasses, ruling out the possibility of entering the virtual world.
However, he still doubted that 20 years would pass so quickly! He couldn't wait to crawl out and see this future world!
Just as he was about to get up, the inner surface of the top cover that originally reflected his face turned into a screen.
A line of words appeared on it: The 5-year dormancy period has arrived. As a volunteer participating in the experiment, you can choose to continue dormancy for 5 years, or you can choose to end the experiment. Please note that when this technology is officially launched to the public, you will no longer have such a right.
Yes/No.
Two options appeared prominently on the screen, one shining green and the other red.
Menjie couldn't help but be stunned.
"Only 5 years have passed? Uncle Chen didn't figure out the 15-year hibernation technology?"
He thought for a few seconds and clicked "No".
He didn't believe Chen Youran would break his promise and wanted to go out to find out.
The words on the screen gradually faded and disappeared.
Then another line of words flashed: Your hibernation state is about to be released. Please wait patiently for 30 seconds until all the equipment is removed and you hear the prompt sound before you get up and leave. Please be sure to wear VR glasses and follow their instructions to go to your destination. In order to help you understand what has happened in the world in the past five years and help you better reintegrate into this society, from today, you can enjoy unlimited access to the I2SPO database for ten days, where you can get more information than the public Internet. "
This time, no options appeared. Obviously, this was just a simple notification.
30 seconds passed very slowly.
When the countdown ended, Menjie couldn't help holding his breath.
The top cover of the hibernation chamber slowly moved toward his left hand.
The instruments and equipment that were originally closely connected to his body also shrank and stacked to the four corners of the hibernation chamber like the tide receding.
The mirror in the field of vision gradually disappeared, replaced by the bottom of the hibernation chamber above him.
A wave of heat also came with the opening of the top cover.
Rather than a heat wave, it is better to say that Normal air outside, but after 5 years of low temperature, even if the body temperature has returned to normal, it still needs a little adaptation. Moreover, compared with the scorching heat outside, the air in the hibernation hall is already quite comfortable. Menjie quickly rebuilt his cognition of this world in his mind, and then he carefully supported his body with both hands and sat up. After a while, he dared to use the strength of his hands and knees at the same time, slowly stood up, until he was completely standing in the hibernation capsule, enough to rely on his feet to counteract the eternal gravity of the earth.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
In the precautions before hibernation, he learned that the body is very fragile when hibernation is just completed, and it is not allowed to exercise vigorously, otherwise it is easy to cause muscle strain or even fracture.
Menjie looked around and was shocked by the scale of the hibernation hall again.
Hundreds of thousands of hibernation capsules are still quietly placed at this moment. Except for himself, he did not see the second person who got up.
Everyone's sleep time is different. If the 5-year cycle is accurate to the minute, then the time of waking up will naturally be different.
What's more, maybe someone will choose to continue hibernation?
However, Menjie knew very clearly that someone fell asleep earlier than him, and logically, he should wake up earlier.
Thinking of this, he picked up the VR glasses and carefully walked along the special escalator on the side of his hibernation capsule to the passage on this floor.
At this moment, he finally felt that he had returned to the real world.
He wanted to see his father's hibernation capsule.
He knew that it was next to his hibernation capsule, and he didn't even need the route guidance of VR glasses.
After two steps, Menjie came to his father's hibernation capsule.
The top cover was still closed.
"What's the situation? My dad is still sleeping? He went in earlier than me. If it's over in 5 years, he should come out earlier than me! Could it be that only my experiment failed, and he has entered the 15-year cycle? "In any case, there are too many doubts about this matter! Staring blankly at his father's hibernation capsule, Menjie felt absurd. He was not sure whether he should cry or laugh. However, this look, combined with the appearance of the hibernation capsule, really looks too much like a funeral! ...... At this time, the VR glasses sounded a reminder: "Please wear glasses and follow the instructions to proceed to the next step. "
Menjie frowned and had to put on his glasses.
A clear path indicator line appeared in his field of vision, leading from where he was standing to the main entrance of the dormant hall.
During the process, he had to walk down the stairs, go to the ground, and make several turns.
"It's better to wear glasses to see clearly, otherwise, such a big place, without a single road sign or sign, is like being in a giant cemetery, and it's three-dimensional, and the light is quite dim, which is really a bit creepy..."
Slowly walking towards the gate along the route in the glasses, Menjie always felt that there was something in his mind, which should be very important, but he couldn't remember it at the moment. Every time he thought about it carefully, that thing slipped away.
It's like the experiment done in physics class, letting two charges of the same polarity approach each other, but once they enter the mutually exclusive distance If they were separated, there was no way to make them fit further. As his activities increased, he felt that his body functions were recovering rapidly, and the feeling of blood boiling and overwhelming filled his body. He even wanted to shout loudly. As he returned to his best condition, he also found the inspiration he had been looking for but had not found. In front of him, the door of the dormant hall slowly opened. The direction in the VR glasses extended straight forward to the other side of the IHC building complex. Menjie raised his mouth slightly, walked forward through the door, and then stood still, as if confirming the direction of the next step. He silently calculated the closing speed of the door behind him. Just one second before the gap in the door was about to disappear, he suddenly took off the VR glasses, turned around and stuffed it back through the gap!
