Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 510 The end of an era
They knew that Ning Chen often stayed up late to work, and sometimes even went without rest for several months in a row.

Even if it is a machine, it will sooner or later be unable to bear such work intensity for a long time. What's more, Ning Chen is just a flesh and blood body. There will always be a day when he can no longer support his body due to fatigue.

Ning Chen did not express any rejection of the doctors' suggestions, but accepted their advice very readily.

"Well, you are right. I have been too tired over the years. In my current state, I really can't continue working. I should suspend all work and have a good rest."

It was rare for Ning Chen to accept other people's suggestions for him to take a rest so calmly. If it were the previous Ning Chen, he would probably continue to insist on working even if his body was very tired.

Ning Chen's submissive attitude also made the doctors feel relieved. According to their experience, as long as Ning Chen could stop working and recuperate, the situation would gradually improve.

Ning Chen's rest this time was very thorough. He put aside all the work at both Xingchen Technology and Shengzhou University. No matter how important these tasks were, Ning Chen really did not have the energy to deal with them.

This situation also made many people who often came into contact with Ning Chen feel that something was wrong. The fact that Ning Chen could take such a thorough rest was enough to show how serious the current situation was.

However, what disappointed everyone the most was that as Ning Chen officially began his vacation life, his condition did not improve at all, but instead continued to worsen.

Later on, Ning Chen didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only lie in bed every day. He even needed others to serve him three meals a day so that he could barely eat a little.

This situation made everyone feel distressed, but even so, the doctor did not find any other abnormalities, because all the conditions showed that Ning Chen was just overtired due to overwork. Apart from that, Ning Chen did not have any other illness.

However, Ning Chen's actual situation was obviously inconsistent with the medical test results. Normally, this kind of excessive fatigue could be relieved by rest, but Ning Chen's condition became worse after rest, with no signs of improvement at all.

The person who was most worried about this situation was undoubtedly Song Xiyun. Having been with Ning Chen for so many years, Song Xiyun knew that this was the most dangerous moment in Ning Chen's life.

"Doctor, I always feel that this is not normal over-fatigue, but there are deeper reasons! Ning Chen has always been targeted by many bad people, and this time there must be someone behind it..."

Many people also agree with Song Xiyun's statement, but in the absence of any evidence, they can only feel helpless about the situation.

After all, without evidence, it means that the real reason cannot be found. Even if everyone has more doubts about it, it is impossible to really help Ning Chen.

"Teacher Song, we will do our best to help Academician Ning recover. No matter what happens, we will never give up."

Although these words were spoken from the doctor's heart, to Song Xiyun, they sounded so heart-wrenching.

"No... Ning Chen absolutely cannot give up like this! We have been through so many life-and-death disasters, and Ning Chen has never fallen. He absolutely cannot fall this time..."

At this moment, Pierce was also in the ward. Although Pierce was the initiator of this incident, he still did not escape such a scene.

Because Pierce understood that as one of Ning Chen's most important students, if he did not show up in such a situation, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion from others.

Pierce believed that among so many people, no one would really doubt him. After all, within Shengzhou University, everyone knew that the relationship between him and Ning Chen was actually very harmonious, and nothing unpleasant had ever happened.

"Teacher Song, please understand us. You have also checked all the inspection reports about Academician Ning, and we really can't find any problems in them. If there really is a force beyond our capabilities, then we are powerless..."

At this time, Ning Chen said in a weak voice:
"There's no need to discuss this for now. I know my current condition is extremely critical. If I really lose my vital signs one day, remember to freeze my body immediately. When our technology can solve this problem, we can thaw my body..."

Human body freezing technology is also one of the technologies that Xingchen Technology is currently developing. Although this technology has made important progress, it has not undergone any practical verification.

"Academician Ning, we believe that you can overcome these problems! Just continue to rest, your body will gradually recover!"

"Yes, Academician Ning, our cryonics technology is not mature enough after all. If your body suffers structural damage, you may not be able to be revived. We'd better find a way to take care of your body first. The current situation is not that pessimistic."

Faced with everyone's persuasion, Ning Chen just closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

"You don't need to say more. I know my current physical condition best. Cryonics is the only way for me to be resurrected. I am not discussing this with you. This is my order!"

Under Ning Chen's resolute tone, no one could refute Ning Chen's decision, so they all had to acquiesce to Ning Chen's choice.

…………

In the end, after fighting this "feeling of exhaustion" for several months, Ning Chen still couldn't withstand the continued torture and finally lost his vital signs.

Xingchen Technology also strictly followed Ning Chen's requirements before his death and used the latest freezing technology to process Ning Chen's body, ensuring the freshness of Ning Chen's body to the greatest extent.

In this way, when Star Technology has more outstanding medical technology in the future, Ning Chen will have the possibility of being "resurrected" again.

In fact, if a more detailed examination of Ning Chen's body was conducted, it would be possible to find a more accurate cause of Ning Chen's death. However, such an examination would cause more serious trauma to Ning Chen's body, which would be detrimental to the subsequent implementation of human cryopreservation technology.

Moreover, in the past few days, the doctors have not found any possible reasons for Ning Chen's condition other than excessive fatigue, so no one is in favor of conducting such postmortem examinations. The news that Ning Chen had lost his vital signs shocked and saddened everyone around him. After all, Ning Chen's life was so wonderful that no one would have thought that Ning Chen would suddenly pass away at such a young age.

According to Ning Chen's request before his death, this news will not be announced to the public, otherwise it would probably cause serious panic around the world.

But the "Believers in God" organization soon learned that Ning Chen had lost vital signs, and the source of this news was naturally Kim Pierce.

"A few hours ago, Ning Chen had already lost his vital signs and was immediately cryopreserved by Star Technology. This means that our operation this time has been a complete success. And until now, Star Technology has not found the real factor that caused Ning Chen to lose his vital signs..."

After listening to Pierce's story, the members of the "Believers in God" organization immediately celebrated excitedly.

"This is such exciting news! Ning Chen has finally been eliminated by us, and a brand new chapter is about to begin in this world!"

"Mr. Kim Pierce is truly a hero of our organization! You have only been in the organization for a few months, and you have accomplished such an important task. This is something that many of our members cannot do!"

"Ning Chen has disappeared, and Xingchen Technology will no longer be able to dominate the technological field of the entire Blue Star civilization. Next, we, the 'Believers of God', will once again become the organization in charge of Blue Star civilization!"

Over the past few months, Pierce has gained the trust of most members of the organization, so no one has too many doubts about this news from Pierce.

After all, there is a lot of evidence to prove that Ning Chen's physical condition has been gradually deteriorating over the past few days, and there is no way to treat this irreversible physical change.

Of course, in order to ensure that what Pierce said was indeed true, the number one figure in the organization decided to give Pierce a lie test.

"Mr. Kim Pierce, we all believe what you said very much, but because this is a very important matter, we must ensure the authenticity of the matter. If you are willing, please cooperate with us to complete the polygraph process."

"Well, I understand, that's certainly no problem."

Pierce readily accepted the polygraph test, and the final result did not show any discrepancy.

Even under the monitoring of the polygraph, Pierce's words were still exactly the same as before, which was enough to prove that all this was not a lie made up by Pierce, but a real fact.

At this moment, the slight doubts that the few people had about Pierce immediately disappeared.

Everyone in the organization celebrated unbridled, and Pierce, who was surrounded by them, was the undisputed hero of the organization.

However, Pierce was not as excited as the others. Instead, he looked very calm and did not seem to be very happy about Ning Chen's departure from this world.

In fact, this is just a task implanted in Pierce's brain. It is more of a mission for Pierce than a dream for Pierce.

After completing this task, Pierce only felt a sense of relief, as well as a sudden sense of confusion and lack of purpose.

Seeing Pierce's overly calm look, several other members of the organization came over and asked Pierce:

"Pierce, why don't you seem that happy? We finally achieved our goal, why should we be unhappy?"

"Hey, Pierce should have been happy a long time ago. That kind of extreme happiness will not show on his face. Some people will even cry with excitement when they are particularly happy, instead of laughing like us."

The question that Pierce was thinking about was naturally not that simple. After a brief silence, Pierce said to the others:

"In fact, I am a little worried. Although Ning Chen has completely lost his life this time, his body has been frozen after all, and there is indeed a possibility that he will be resurrected later. If that day really comes, then our organization will probably face this powerful enemy again..."

Pierce's words cooled down everyone's excitement, because with the capabilities of Star Technology, this was indeed something that could happen.

"Pierce, if that doesn't work, you can try to find an opportunity to destroy Ning Chen's body. If that happens, no matter how powerful Xingchen Technology is, it will never be able to bring Ning Chen back to life."

Hearing this man's words, Pierce frowned and shook his head.

"No, Ning Chen's body has been protected by Xingchen Technology. No one has the chance to get close to him. This mission will be more difficult than my previous assassination of Ning Chen. I really don't have the ability to complete it."

At some point, the organization's top figure had quietly walked over and heard the conversation between Pierce and others.

"That's right. It is indeed almost impossible to destroy Ning Chen's body at this time. It doesn't matter, Pierce. We will not force members of our organization to carry out such an impossible task. We are already very satisfied with what we have achieved so far..."

After comforting Pierce, the organization's No. 1 continued:
"Pierce, I still hope to learn more about the relevant situation. What level has Xingchen Technology achieved in their human cryonics technology? Can it really guarantee that the human body can maintain cell activity for a long time after losing vital signs?"

This is a very important thing for them, because if Star Technology did not have such powerful human cryonics technology, they would not have to worry about such things at all.
