270: Chapter 270 Dongfang Chen's Problem

“Alright, activate the device first,” Oriental Chen said.

“Understood!” Niu Xingwang replied.

The device was simple, resembling a portable, old-fashioned radio.

Niu Xingwang pulled out the antenna, turned the knob, and the indicator light came on.

On the front of the control device was a small screen displaying a few words:

“Connecting, please wait….”

This device was connecting to the Supercomputing Center.

Of course, even if the device wasn't connected to the Supercomputing Center, the nano-robot agent could still be injected. However, without the computational support of the Supercomputing Center, this device would not issue any commands to the nano-robots.

Within a few seconds, the message on the screen changed:

“Connection successful.”

This device did not support direct display of diagnostic results. After the nano-robots entered the body, the device would send monitoring data directly to the Supercomputing Center, which would then issue commands back to the device after processing. The entire communication process was silent, requiring no manual intervention.

In this situation, only Oriental Chen could see the test results.

“It’s ready, inject the agent,” Oriental Chen said.

“Understood!” Niu Xingwang replied.

At this moment, his forehead was covered in sweat due to nervousness and anxiety.

“Inject it!” Niu Xingwang said to the nurse beside him, handing over the agent.

The nurse nodded, took the agent, removed the protective cap, and skillfully injected it.

Success or failure depended on this one action.

Although Niu Xingwang trusted Oriental Chen immensely, anyone in his situation would be anxious.

Trust was one thing, but the stakes were too high to lose. It was impossible not to be nervous.

In contrast, the nurse was much more relaxed.

After the agent was injected, Oriental Chen began receiving data.

A comprehensive examination of the human body would take approximately 15 minutes. These fifteen minutes felt longer than a century to Niu Xingwang.

As time passed, the diagnostic results became clearer, and Oriental Chen’s brow furrowed deeper.

Optic nerve system damage, brain damage, liver failure, kidney failure….

If these were considered normal symptoms, then the following issues were somewhat unsettling.

“Detected significant rejection in the kidneys, heart, and left lung, determined to be transplanted organs.”

“Detected excessive body radiation, determined to have undergone radioactive treatment.”

….

Each test result was shocking.

From the results, it was clear that there were significant human factors involved.

Looking at these test results, Oriental Chen had only one feeling: this young man must have experienced unimaginable pain and hardship.

“Xiao Lin, formulate a treatment plan based on the test results,” Oriental Chen commanded.

“Apologies, Commander, a treatment plan cannot be formulated at this time,” Xiao Lin replied.

“Why?” Oriental Chen asked.

“From the test results, the subject has undergone severe radiation exposure, and the stem cell DNA is severely damaged and currently irreparable,” Xiao Lin answered.

All cells that make up human organs and tissues differentiate from stem cells. If stem cell DNA is damaged, the human body will lose its ability to repair itself.

“Tell me the treatment methods, ignoring the existing conditions of the base,” Oriental Chen said.

“Understood, Commander. If the existing conditions of the base are not considered, the following treatment plans can be provided:”

“Plan 1: Ex-vivo organ cultivation and transplantation. Requires at least 5th Order gene programming technology to be unlocked. However, due to the subject’s impaired cell regeneration function, the transplanted organs will inevitably fail.”

“Plan 2: Gene Therapy Device. Requires at least 8th Order gene programming technology to be unlocked. The subject is completely immersed in a culture solution, and artificial ex-vivo stem cells are used to repair the target. The disadvantage is a longer treatment cycle, at least seven days.”

“Plan 3: Rebirth. Requires at least 9th Order gene programming technology to be unlocked. A new body is cultivated based on the subject’s DNA, and the neural network is copied 1:1 into the new body.”

Xiao Lin provided three treatment plans in one breath, each more incredible than the last. And each treatment plan revolved around one crucial technology: Gene Programming.

Oriental Chen had always regarded Gene Programming as Pandora’s Box, believing this technology to be anti-human, anti-civilization, and even anti-biological. He never expected that after just over a month, reality would teach him a harsh lesson.

This time, he had truly encountered a problem.

Death is inevitable for all, a common topic that no one can avoid.

To die is normal; not to die is abnormal.

But this sentence can only be applied to others.

We can calmly tell others, “Let go, let go. This is the destiny of fate, and no one can avoid it.”

But when it truly happens to oneself, it’s a different story.

No one wants to die. Even with just a glimmer of hope, they will do anything, at any cost.
