159: Don't worry! We haven't finished the experiment yet.

Perhaps encouraged by Jarvis, the monkey's nimble eyes flickered slightly, and it placed its hands on the operating table.

With a slight push,

its whole body sat up.

Immediately after,

the monkey tried to stand up again, but it only managed to stand upright for three seconds before dropping back onto all fours.

Standing upright for only three seconds did not mean the monkey couldn't stand.

Quite the opposite.

This was important proof that the monkey could stand again after its head transplant.

It is well-known that monkeys typically walk on all fours; being able to stand upright on two legs for three seconds was already a remarkable achievement.

Immediately after,

the monkey began to try walking.

Although its steps were a bit erratic and wobbly at first, it quickly mastered the trick.

The monkey's walking on the ground gradually became stable.

It was as happy as a monkey, running around and jumping lively in the operating room.

No.

It was a monkey after all... Melon XII watched the monkey, and tears unknowingly streamed from his wrinkled eyes.

No one could understand the monkey's feelings better than him.

A monkey on the verge of dying from old age had a body transplant and lived a second life.

The excitement was inexpressible.

Melon XII felt that this monkey was a true reflection of himself.

"It really... it really succeeded."

"The Longevity Foundation can really give me a new head."

He shouted excitedly in his heart.

Although he tried hard to control himself, he still triggered the hospital's monitoring equipment, and another piercing alarm sounded.

However,

because the doctors had been warned, they did not convene a large expert consultation this time due to the alarm.

Instead, they sent a professional Nurse to understand the situation.

After learning that Melon XII was fine, she left on her own... After a wave of excitement, Melon XII gradually calmed down.

Successfully performing the head transplant was only half the battle.

The other half depended on the monkey's recovery.

If the recovery was poor after the head transplant, it would undoubtedly accelerate his own death.

Therefore... Melon XII had to be patient.

Because life is only once, he had to be cautious, extremely cautious.

During this month,

Melon XII would appear in the live stream every day on time to observe the monkey's recovery.

On the first day, the monkey could walk upright.

On the second day, the monkey regained its ability to jump and could perform a small amount of strenuous activity, but not much. Because once the monkey performed strenuous activity, it would become breathless.

On the third day:

The monkey's complexion was much rosier, and its appetite also increased. Everything was developing in a good direction... Fourth day... Fifth day... Thirtieth day.

A month had passed, and the monkey's recovery was good, with no signs of rejection.

Various physiological indicators of its body slowly returned to normal.

Looking at the monkey's appearance now, it was impossible to tell that this was a 20-year-old monkey.

The average lifespan of monkeys is different from that of humans.

The average human lifespan is 78 years, but the average lifespan of monkeys is around 20 years.

Therefore... a 20-year-old monkey was already considered to have one foot in the grave.

To enable such an old monkey to stand up again and show no signs of aging,

this technology was truly amazing.

It had to be said.

Melon XII was moved.

That once extinguished heart began to beat again; he wanted to get a new body for himself and stand up again.

"Dear Old K."

"Are you in the live stream?"

"I want to ask, if I want to get a new body, how should I proceed?"

Lu Xingye had not yet begun to answer.

Jarvis answered.

"Mr. Mellon."

"Please don't rush."

"To allow you to understand our Longevity Foundation more fully, please patiently watch our experiment to the end."

"The first round of head transplant surgery has been perfectly completed."

"Next, we will proceed with the Longevity Drug experiment."

After speaking, Jarvis smiled faintly, and his clown's comically long mouth also twitched, looking unusually terrifying.

"Alright... alright..."

Melon XII clenched his hands, and a sharp glint burst from his eyes, clearly already a bit impatient... At this moment,

the Longevity Drug experiment was divided into A and B groups.

Both A and B groups used identical samples, with Group A taking the Longevity Drug and Group B remaining unchanged, meaning no medication.

Then, the changes in the biological characteristics of these two groups of samples were observed.

This is called a control group experiment.

This experiment also used aged monkeys as experimental samples.

To rule out the randomness of the experiment, each group had ten monkeys.

"Mellon."

"This is our Longevity Foundation's second product — the Longevity Drug."

"Whether human or animal, as long as the Longevity Drug is taken, lifespan will increase to a certain extent. The specific increase in lifespan is related to the drug's concentration; higher concentrations increase lifespan more, and lower concentrations increase lifespan less."

"However..."

"Generally speaking, the Longevity Drug can extend lifespan by 5 to 20 years."

..."Both Group A and Group B consisted of aged monkeys, around 15 years old, who normally could only perform simple activities and were very frail."

"We will now inject Group A monkeys with the Longevity Drug. Please pay close attention to the monkeys' changes."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Jarvis picked up the syringe and injected the Longevity Drug into each of the ten monkeys in Group A.

This Longevity Drug was a semi-finished drug temporarily manufactured by Zhao Yinyun.

Not only could it not achieve the effect of eternal life, but the increased lifespan was also greatly reduced.

The only benefit was that the Longevity Drug was harmless.

In other words, there were no side effects... Meanwhile,

on the other side,

Melon XII was already numb with shock.

Longevity Drug?

The Longevity Foundation actually had a Longevity Drug?

Seeing the streamer's confident demeanor, Melon XII felt that this Longevity Drug was likely real.

But... who the hell can tell me what kind of organization the Longevity Foundation is?

How can they even invent something like a Longevity Drug... Assuming everything the Foundation said was true,

then I would... The more Melon XII thought about it, the more excited he became, and then he triggered the hospital's alarm again.

He wished he could join the Longevity Foundation immediately and get a brand new body for himself.

The days of lying in a sickbed all the time,

he had had enough of it.

He urgently wanted to stand up, to live his second life.

For this, he would spare no expense... Although Melon XII was very anxious internally, the experiment was not yet finished.

The Foundation paid him no mind at all.

He could only continue to wait.

About five minutes later, Jarvis finally injected all ten monkeys in Group A with the Longevity Drug.

Currently, there wasn't much difference between the monkeys in Group A and Group B. They were all frail, listless, and even had difficulty standing.

The reason why the monkeys in Group A had not yet changed

was because the Longevity Drug had just been injected and had not yet taken effect.

The Longevity Drug would take effect approximately one hour after injection.
