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

Chapter 580 Awakening
On this special day, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao got together again to discuss the surgery on Ning Chen.

Seeing each other already very old, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao both felt very sad, recalling the time when they were fighting against the alien civilization together, as if it was just a few days ago.

"Manager Lu, now is the time to perform surgery on them according to Teacher Song's arrangement. Although our research on mental power is still not perfect, it is at least much more mature than it was decades ago."

"Yes, if we perform the surgery now, there is still a 50% chance that Teacher Song will survive safely. Since the deadline has arrived, let's not delay it any further and choose to respect Teacher Song's ideas."

After some discussion, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao decided to continue with the operation as originally planned. No matter what the final result is, they will try their best to fulfill Song Xiyun's long-cherished wish.

Immediately, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao arranged for the project team staff to take out the frozen bodies of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun and prepare for the operation.

In order to transfer the source of mental power in Song Xiyun's brain to Ning Chen's brain, the bodies of both of them need to be thawed first. However, in order to prevent them from making various movements that may affect the operation during the operation, their bodies still have to be anesthetized.

Under normal circumstances, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, who had revived, both had vital signs, because when they were frozen, they were still in a relatively healthy state, and were not cryogenically frozen after death.

Especially Song Xiyun, before the cryonics procedure, she could be said to be in very good health without any major illness. However, Ning Chen was troubled by the robot's virtual program, so he had to urgently undergo the cryonics procedure to prevent his body from continuing to deteriorate rapidly.

This leaves more than enough time for the operation. Of course, despite this, they will still try to perform the operation quickly and efficiently to avoid any complications.

"Everything is in place for surgery. Let's start the operation now."

Under the orders of Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao, the project team officially started the operation.

After the frozen bodies were restored to normal temperature, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun gradually regained their vital signs and their faces became rosy again. However, due to the effect of the anesthetic, they were unable to open their eyes at this time and fell into a state of coma.

Looking at the two young bodies in front of them, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao both felt mixed emotions. They had to admit that cryonics technology was indeed a very magical technology. It allowed their bodies to remain in their original appearance after decades without showing even the slightest sign of aging.

In this operation, Xingchen Technology will use their latest developed technology, which can ensure that Ning Chen absorbs the mental power source in Song Xiyun's brain to the greatest extent.

As long as the operation can go smoothly, then at least there will be no problem for Ning Chen to recover his normal health, because the mental power source in Song Xiyun's brain is enough to offset the virtual program in Ning Chen's body.

But what worries them most is the health risks that Song Xiyun may face after the operation.

Over the years, the spiritual power source in Song Xiyun's brain has long been highly integrated with Song Xiyun's brain. In the process of separating these spiritual power source substances, it is inevitable that damage will be caused to Song Xiyun's brain.

Although the safety of this operation has been greatly improved after so many years of research, in actual operation, the project team can only ensure Song Xiyun's life safety at a rate of more than 50%. If they want to further improve this safety rate, at least several more years of research will be needed.

However, due to the minimum deadline set by Song Xiyun, they certainly could not continue to delay the operation. If they wanted to know the final result, they could only wait until the operation was over.

As time passed, the mental power source in Song Xiyun's brain was finally successfully removed. According to the instrument's display, the mental power source was removed very intact, with only a small part of it retained for Song Xiyun, and there was no damage to Song Xiyun's brain.

In fact, every normal person has some such mental power source in their brain to a greater or lesser extent, but this kind of mental power source in most people's brains is extremely scarce, almost negligible, and they will not show any obvious perception of unknown dangerous situations.

Only a very small number of people truly possess a strong ability to perceive danger, which was previously often referred to as the "sixth sense". Now this situation can finally be explained by science.

"Professor Xu, Manager Lu, we have been quite successful in extracting Song Xiyun's spiritual power source. So far, we have not detected any abnormal reactions..."

Looking at the data displayed on the testing equipment, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao were both quite satisfied with the current progress of the operation. Everything seemed to be developing towards the best situation.

"Okay, then let's hurry up and transfer these spiritual energy essences into Ning Chen's brain. Be careful when transplanting the spiritual energy essences, and try to ensure that all of these spiritual energy essences can be absorbed by Ning Chen's brain."

After these spiritual energy sources are separated from Song Xiyun's brain, in theory, they will continue to be lost, because their essence is actually a kind of energy, and without any protective measures, they will definitely leak out.

Even if they have used the most powerful technology available to carefully protect these spiritual energy sources, it can only slow down the rate at which they are lost, but there is no guarantee that they can be well preserved.

Therefore, the subsequent mental power source transfer operation must be carried out relatively quickly. In this way, it can ensure that as much mental power source as possible can successfully enter Ning Chen's brain and offset these virtual programs that are constantly eroding Ning Chen's brain.

But during the operation, bad news suddenly came from Song Xiyun.

After losing most of the mental power source in his brain, Song Xiyun seemed unable to adapt to this drastic change. His body kept twitching, his expression became extremely painful, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to seep out of his forehead.

This is obviously a very bad signal for a human body that has just awakened from a cryogenic freezing state, and it also makes Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao extremely anxious.

Although Song Xiyun was ready to die when she proposed this plan, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao would never watch such a thing happen. Instead, they hoped that Ning Chen and Song Xiyun could wake up safely and enjoy the rest of their lives together. After a brief discussion, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao finally made their final decision.

"Since we have successfully extracted the complete source of mental power from Song Xiyun's brain, let's quickly put Song Xiyun back into the cryogenic state." Xu Zhou said.

With the current medical level of Star Technology, it is still difficult to properly deal with the situation Song Xiyun is facing now. Considering various situations comprehensively, immediately freezing Song Xiyun's body again is undoubtedly the best option now.

Although repeated freezing of the human body will cause a certain degree of harm to the body, thanks to Star Technology's continuous research on human freezing technology over the past few decades, the degree of damage is relatively minor.

Anyway, they have successfully extracted the spiritual power source that can heal Ning Chen from Song Xiyun's brain. Now there is not much point in keeping Song Xiyun's body at room temperature.

After freezing Song Xiyun's body again, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao both felt a little melancholy in their hearts.

Obviously, everything went very smoothly when the operation just started, but no one expected that when the operation was about to be completed successfully, a new change occurred on Song Xiyun's side.

I wonder how Ning Chen will feel when he wakes up and finds out what has happened in the past few days.

"Professor Xu, Manager Lu, the operation to transfer Song Xiyun's brain mental power has been successfully completed. Now Ning Chen's brain has successfully absorbed the energy of these mental power sources, but this process still requires a certain amount of adaptation time. After Ning Chen completely absorbs these energies, Ning Chen will be able to recover..."

After learning of the result, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In any case, this at least meant that Song Xiyun's sacrifice was worth it, and their efforts over the years had finally brought about the successful achievement of their basic goals.

However, Song Xiyun is still in an uncertain state of life and death, which is definitely not a perfect result for them. Fortunately, Song Xiyun still retains hope of survival. As long as they can solve this problem next, there is still hope that Song Xiyun can solve the impact of the loss of mental power source in the brain.

As time passed, Ning Chen's brain continued to absorb the powerful energy of Song Xiyun's spiritual power. This very pure and very special energy actually allowed Ning Chen to neutralize the impact of the virtual program.

On the twenty-eighth day after the operation, Ning Chen finally woke up on his own.

Decades later, Ning Chen felt the feeling of life again, which made Ning Chen very uncomfortable. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether it was an illusion or reality.

"Where am I? How much time has passed? Why is my mind so confused?"

After a long period of rest, Ning Chen's brain gradually became clearer. He recalled the last thing he remembered, which was when Ning Chen told Song Xiyun that he was about to enter the human body freezing procedure.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ning Chen knew that he had not aged much. If Ning Chen guessed correctly, his body must have just been thawed not long ago.

"It seems that this cryonics technology is quite successful. I don't feel any abnormal changes in any of my organs due to cryonics... Wait, the discomfort I felt before seems to have disappeared as well?"

Feeling his body more carefully, Ning Chen discovered the difference between his body and before. The negative impact caused by the robot implanting the virtual program in him had miraculously disappeared.

"Could it be that... after so many years of development, we have found a way to deal with this problem? The Blue Star civilization really did not disappoint me. Even if I am not here, others can still continue the research..."

Thinking of this, Ning Chen was very excited. A problem that had always worried Ning Chen was that the technological development of the Blue Star civilization would stagnate when he was away. Now it seems that Ning Chen was too self-indulgent.

At this moment, Ning Chen really wanted to see Song Xiyun and ask Song Xiyun to tell him what had happened in the past few days.

But when Ning Chen noticed the current year and date, he had a feeling as if he was in another world. Ning Chen had never thought that so much time had passed when he woke up. It can be said that the current Blue Star civilization can no longer be confused with the past Blue Star civilization.

At this moment, Ning Chen also understood why there was no one around him after he woke up.

Because so many years have passed, Song Xiyun has long become an old man, but her body still remains very young. If two people meet in this way, Song Xiyun must feel very embarrassed.

However, Ning Chen does not have any feeling of disgust towards Song Xiyun because of this. Even though Song Xiyun has aged beyond recognition, Ning Chen will still treat Song Xiyun in a normal way. After all, when she was undergoing body cryopreservation, Song Xiyun did not choose to give up on Ning Chen because of Ning Chen's bad condition.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said:
"Song Xiyun, I know you must be here, please come out quickly, I really miss you..."

However, after Ning Chen finished saying these words, Ning Chen did not see Song Xiyun appear, but two elderly men walked in from outside the door.

These two people are naturally Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao.
