Lin Xian shook his head.

Hibernation has side effects?

Sci-fi movies don't mention these...

In their settings, hibernation is all benefit and no harm. You sleep for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years, and nothing bad happens.

After Xu Yun said this, Lin Xian realized this blind spot.

It is said that all medicine has some poison.

What medicine and treatment methods have no side effects at all?

What's more, hibernation is such a complex human engineering feat, it is impossible not to have any side effects.

"I don't know, Teacher Xu."

Lin Xian replied truthfully:

"What other side effects does hibernation have? Are they related to physical functions?"

Xu Yun shook his head.

He held up his index finger and tapped his head.

"The biggest side effect is that prolonged inactivity of brain signals can lead to varying degrees of amnesia."

"In fact, in terms of physical functions, hibernation will not have any side effects. Even if there is some muscle atrophy, it can be recovered through exercise."

"But… damage to brain memory is unavoidable. Current hibernation theory can indeed slow down various physiological reactions in the human body by dozens or hundreds of times, but the principle of brain memory is very complex. It is a fuzzy retrieval model that relies on nerve signal stimulation to maintain."

"I won't tell you too much about the complex stuff, Lin Xian. In short, the longer the hibernation time, the more memory will be lost. Of course, everyone's actual situation will be slightly different, but if the hibernation time exceeds twenty years... there is a high probability that all memories will be lost."

…

Lin Xian suddenly understood.

Although he was a liberal arts student and didn't understand these things.

However, the side effect of amnesia sounded very reasonable, and it was never mentioned in any science fiction works.

Sure enough, science fiction is not science.

Xu Yun stroked his daughter's dry arm and smiled calmly:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if Yiyi forgets me, it doesn't matter if she forgets everything... She will start her new life, it doesn't matter if she remembers her old father."

"But I don't want to forget her... I don't want to forget Yiyi. Yiyi was only lively and energetic for a few years when she was a child, and my memories of her are only this little bit..."

"I can't bear to lose any of these memories."

"Besides, if I have amnesia, does it also mean that emotions will disappear? If I wake up and Yiyi and I become strangers, without any feelings... I feel that this is a very terrifying thing."

Xu Yun looked at Lin Xian and smiled slightly:

"So, I won't hibernate."

"I will preserve the memories of Yiyi until the last second of my life, and I will use the last second of my life to research a better hibernation pod for Yiyi."

"So Lin Xian, if you are still around when Yiyi wakes up in the future... I would appreciate it if you could take care of this child."

Lin Xian waved his hand reflexively!

No, no, no.

He couldn't bear this entrustment!

"Teacher Xu, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic."

Lin Xian comforted:

"No one can predict the development of science and technology. Maybe one day, the side effect of amnesia will be solved. You still need to pay more attention to your health… What father doesn't want to watch his daughter grow up with his own eyes?"

Xu Yun smiled and didn't say much:

"Did you come here specifically for something, Lin Xian?"

Lin Xian nodded.

He took out the invitation and explained his intention.

Saturday night, which is the night after tomorrow.

MX Company will hold a grand celebration banquet and would like to invite Professor Xu Yun to attend.

Lin Xian thought that Xu Yun would definitely decline.

However…

"Okay."

Xu Yun agreed with a smile.

He patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"You helped me so much, I have to come and support you."

"I haven't been so happy and relaxed in a long time... Let's have a couple of drinks that day!"

Unexpectedly smooth…

In the evening, several middle-level leaders of the company took Lin Xian out for dinner and drinks, and they didn't return home until early in the morning.

The next morning, Lin Xian came to the company and reported to Zhao Yingjun that Xu Yun was coming to the celebration banquet.

Zhao Yingjun had an expected smile on her face:

"It was indeed the right decision to send you to deliver the invitation. If we had gone... Professor Xu Yun might not have given us the honor."

"I don't have any honor." Lin Xian replied frankly:

"It's just that Professor Xu Yun is in a good mood these days, so he also wants to relax."

Zhao Yingjun bent down and took out four or five more red invitations from the drawer below:

"Some people can't come to the celebration banquet, so take these extra invitations. If you have any relatives, classmates, or friends, you can invite them to come and have fun."

Lin Xian only took one:

"One is enough for me, I only have one friend in Donghai."

He had told Gao Yang before not to forget each other when they became rich.

Such a luxurious dinner buffet, Gao Yang, the glutton, could not be missing:

"Are only people from our company attending the celebration banquet? Besides Professor Xu Yun."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"This is an internal activity of our company, and I didn't invite anyone else, because I was afraid that everyone would not be able to let go."

"However, this morning... a big shot took the initiative to ask to participate, saying that he wanted to come to the scene to congratulate us."

"Who is it?" Lin Xian asked curiously.

"Someone you know."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"Chu Shanhe."

?

Lin Xian was quite surprised:

"Chu Shanhe is coming? I didn't expect him to take the initiative to congratulate us."

"What are you thinking, Lin Xian? Of course, it's not us."

Zhao Yingjun tucked the broken hair behind her ear:

"Chu Shanhe doesn't like our small business and small achievements. The main purpose of his visit is to congratulate Professor Xu Yun."

"I told you before that Chu Shanhe has been funding Xu Yun alone for so many years. Moreover, he himself is a person who is very enthusiastic about scientific undertakings. I guess he learned that Professor Xu Yun was coming to our celebration banquet, so he thought of congratulating Xu Yun in person."

"But he definitely won't stay here for too long. Chu Shanhe is a very cultivated and magnanimous person. At most, he will give a congratulatory speech, say hello, meet Professor Xu Yun and leave. He won't stay for dinner."

Oh…

I see.

Chu Shanhe came for Professor Xu Yun, so all of this makes sense.

His admiration and respect for scientists are obvious to all. Xu Yun can achieve such achievements, and Chu Shanhe is probably happier than Xu Yun himself.

It has to be said that this MX Company's celebration banquet... can also be regarded as a gathering of heroes.

It was already a great honor to be able to invite Professor Xu Yun.

I didn't even expect Chu Shanhe to come to the scene to celebrate.

"The gold content of our celebration banquet is indeed quite high. The two people with the highest status in Donghai City have come." Lin Xian smiled.

Zhao Yingjun didn't speak, just looked at Lin Xian with a hesitant look.

This made Lin Xian feel very uncomfortable. Was there a fly on his face?

"What's wrong, President Zhao?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled meaningfully and continued:

"What you said is not wrong. The gold content of our celebration banquet is indeed very high."

"Do you remember what I told you when I attended the scientific fundraising dinner last time? Chu Shanhe used to bring his precious daughter to every important banquet, as if he was showing off... for fear that everyone would not know that he had such a beautiful daughter."

"So…"

She looked up at Lin Xian:

"Chu Shanhe is not coming alone this time either."

"He said he would bring his daughter with him..."

"Chu Anqing."
