Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Two years before Mo Dao chose to retire, Miss Qin Huaishi in this life had also retired.

In the field of biology and life sciences, even in this life, the research directions of the two people do not overlap much.

In her own research field, Miss Qin Huaishi has still made her own achievements,

Perhaps it is not as dazzling as Mo Dao's achievements, but this does not affect Qin Huaishi's pursuit of her life goals in this life.

There may not be any earth-changing results, but Qin Huaishi has no regrets in pursuing her life goals.

In the field of related research, Miss Qin Huaishi in this life is still one of the best.

In 1968, Mo Dao also retired.

Apart from no longer going to school and the laboratory, it doesn't seem to have much impact on their lives.

outside of daily life,

The two of them also walked around while they still had some energy, and looked at various parts of the world together.

Perhaps for Mo Dao, most of these places he visited have already been visited by Miss Qin Huaishi.

But this does not affect Mo Dao and his girl Qin Huaishi.

Of course, it doesn't really matter where you go.

The two of them went to different places and just spent their days together.

They might talk about everyday things, or they might just lean on each other and enjoy a moment of tranquility.

These seemingly ordinary days seem to extend from the long past to the present, and then to the more distant future.

And the remaining ten years of this life,

Probably after Mo Dao fell into the bottomless abyss of ‘sense of futility’ in his long life, he

The first time, it was so easy.

It’s different from my lazy life as a philosophy professor.

That is because the self blurs the existence of the matter of "futility" and pretends that it does not exist.

This time, it is the first time that this abyss-like problem has been fundamentally shaken in a real sense.

He has been able to see a more distant world from the time level. For the first time, he has broken through the barriers of time to some extent.

Miss Qin Huaishi, who spent time with Mo Dao day and night,

Even though Mo Dao didn't hide anything from her, she could still feel some changes in Mo Dao's emotions.

After retiring from research work, Mo Dao's tense nerves seemed to relax a lot and feel a little more at ease.

However, Miss Qin Huaishi didn't say anything more about this.

The two of them just spent their days like this.

…

The rest of Mo Dao's life was much more ordinary.

Without a great scholar in the field of life sciences,

There is also no outstanding researcher in the biological field.

There is only one old couple, who have spent a long time supporting each other and leaning on each other, and continue to live ordinary days without feeling bored.

In this life,

In the remaining ten years, Mo Dao never performed human hibernation again.

He needs human hibernation technology to help him transcend time and affect the countdown that beats tirelessly in front of him.

But in the remaining ten years of this life, Mo Dao doesn't need to hibernate.

There is nothing he wants to look forward to in the future of this life.

The time that would be wasted in hibernation would be better spent now and spent with his wife.

…

Time continues like this, then 69 years, 70 years...

Mo Dao's achievements in the field of life sciences during his lifetime will continue to have a lasting impact even after Mo Dao retires.

And every time people use or mention related achievements, they will inevitably mention Mo Dao's name.

Even if Mo Dao doesn’t appear in public for a long time,

But on the Internet and in reality, one can still hear and see Mo Dao's name from time to time.

71 years.

Mo Dao’s last research results in the field of life sciences,

The new treatment brought about by cracking the mechanism of ALS has finally passed clinical trials.

Begin to be widely promoted and used.

In this era, it is inevitable that there will be more people who are grateful to Mo Dao.

72 years.

The impact of human hibernation technology continues to deepen.

For people in the era before the birth of human hibernation technology,

Human society in this era is most likely a bit strange.

This year,

After more than ten years of phase III clinical trials of human hibernation technology,

Announced that the phase III clinical trial has been completed.

In the same year, human hibernation centers in various places have been basically completed and are in operation.

This year, officials officially announced that the use of human hibernation technology would be gradually opened to ordinary people except terminally ill patients.

In the first phase of opening up the use of human hibernation technology, people over 60 years old are temporarily allowed to apply to human hibernation centers in various places.

This year, the Internet has been particularly lively.

People who have not yet reached the age of sixty may consider whether to enter hibernation after they turn sixty, consume a certain amount of life, and go to a more distant future.

Or discuss when the use of human hibernation technology can be opened to people aged fifty, forty, or even younger.

People in their sixties are either considering whether it is necessary to enter human hibernation.

Or you can occasionally see on the Internet and in real life who has chosen to enter human hibernation.

In this era, entering human hibernation is still a familiar thing. We have heard it countless times, but it is still a special or novel thing for most people.

In the same year, the official also announced this data.

This year, with the continuous progress of life science based on Mo Dao's theory,

the average life expectancy, regardless of gender, is approaching 90 years old.

Looking down at the city, you can see a lot of people over 90 years old,

but it seems that the elderly in this era are much younger than the same age in previous eras.

Finally,

in 1972,

under the influence of the changes in the entire social atmosphere, a plan was announced.

A 100-year plan - it will take 100 years to complete another industrial upgrade and energy technology upgrade.

For this plan that will last for 100 years,

from top to bottom, it was accepted naturally.

At this moment,

the perception of time and the cognition of the entire human society can be said to be quite special compared to the previous human hibernation era.

...

Going down,

time entered 1974.

This year, Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi were both eighty years old.

Even though the impact of life science and technology in this life has greatly improved the quality of life after people get old,

but after he turned eighty, Mo Dao began to be more and more affected by aging.

All the symptoms brought by aging began to climb up his body, and his energy inevitably declined.

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi rarely went too far.

Just continued to spend the rest of this life.

Occasionally, the human hibernation project team sent Mo Dao some recent information, and the same was true for other research in the field of life sciences that Mo Dao had participated in.

When it came to some things in the field of life sciences, they would still consult Mo Dao's opinion.

However, Mo Dao rarely gave any replies and did not interfere in these things.

Only occasionally, in his spare time, he would look through some expectations in the field of life sciences and biological research,

and learn about the research progress in related fields in recent years.

Most of the time,

Mo Dao just spent the last time of this life quietly with Miss Qin Huaishi.

Then,

In this calm and plainness,

time came to the year when Mo Dao was eighty-eight years old.
