396: Congratulations, Mr. Cai Shi, on your new lease on life!

With the existence of the brainwave synchronization voice transmission system, Cai Shi could easily communicate with the people around him.

With a shift of his thought, the words he wanted to say in his mind appeared on the computer screen.

"My name is Cai Shi, and I am 47 years old. I used to work for the Dingdong shopping platform."

"However, five years ago, I was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis."

"If it weren't for the Brain-Computer Interface Technology you, Mr. Su, researched, I probably wouldn't have lasted much longer."

Listening to Cai Shi's heartfelt thanks, Su Yu slowly let a slight smile curve his lips.

He continued to press the question.

"Mr. Cai, do you still remember who this person next to me is?"

As he spoke, Su Yu pointed towards Cai Shi's wife.

Cai Shi's voice trembled slightly, and the excitement in his heart momentarily rendered him speechless.

"She is, she is..."

Even separated by the insurmountable physical distance between a human and a chip, everyone could clearly feel Cai Shi's deep affection and reluctance to part at this moment.

"She is my beloved!"

The simple six words were spoken with resounding force!

Everyone held their breath, daring not to speak and ruin this hard-won moment.

Upon hearing these words, Cai Shi's wife, whose body had been tense, suddenly relaxed, all the strength instantly draining from her.

She collapsed limply, leaning on her son next to her, tears streaming down her face.

"Old Cai, is that you? Is it really you?"

Her trembling voice carried a hint of disbelief. It was as if everything before her was a dream—and dreams are always so real and beautiful!

Yet, inevitably, they are destined to shatter and disappear one day.

Cai Shi likewise felt intense love radiating from his wife.

"It's me! It really is me! I didn't die! Mr. Su's plan succeeded!!!"

"I'm alive again!!"

Cai Shi was so excited that his voice wavered slightly.

Su Yu felt reluctant to interrupt the couple's exchange.

He knew that after such a long separation, the two of them must have endless things to say.

But the experiment was not over yet; now was not the time.

He still needed to conduct a comprehensive examination of the newly resurrected Cai Shi to see if he fully retained all his previous memories.

Therefore, he pointed his hand toward the young man standing next to Cai Shi's wife.

"Mr. Cai, I am very sorry to interrupt your reunion with your beloved."

"I know that for both of you, your emotions must be hard to settle right now."

"Please, don't get too excited. After today, you will have infinite time to be with your family again! But before that, Mr. Cai, you need to answer a few more questions to confirm and test your current condition."

Cai Shi's wife reluctantly shifted her gaze toward her son.

Su Yu asked, opening his mouth.

"Mr. Cai, do you recognize this person?"

Cai Shi worked hard to calm his emotions.

"Of course I recognize him! He is my son, Cai Yong!"

Su Yu continued his inquiries.

As he asked the questions, his stylus rapidly checked off boxes on the tablet.

"Mr. Cai, what clothes were you wearing on your first day of primary school?"

"A gray long-sleeved jacket and a pair of sweatpants. For shoes, I wore a pair of cloth shoes my mother stitched for me."

"Mr. Cai, when was the first time in your life that you earned money?"

"It was in the fourth grade of primary school, when I sold my math homework for twenty cents."

"Mr. Cai, what is the most memorable incident from your high school years?"

"It was when I wrote a love letter to the class beauty, and a classmate handed it over to the teacher."

... In this manner, Su Yu asked more than a dozen consecutive questions spanning different age groups.

After receiving definite answers that perfectly matched the memories transmitted earlier, Su Yu finally stopped questioning.

For the first time, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

There were no issues! All the answers were various choices Cai Shi had made himself in the past.

It could be confirmed that no accidents occurred during this memory transfer.

Although Cai Shi's heart stopped beating at the last moment, the final transfer was still completed.

Success!

"Mr. Cai Shi, congratulations on your rebirth!"

Seeing the scene before him, Su Yu finally shed all his worries and completely relaxed with a sense of relief.

Following this congratulation, Cai Shi's wife and son simultaneously burst into tears.

In the live broadcast room, the tension that had gripped global viewers completely dissipated at this moment.

"It succeeded!!! It really succeeded!!"

"Amazing people of Huaxia! They have created another world miracle!"

"This is too incredible! How can a person's thoughts and spirit be completely contained within a tiny chip?"

"He won! In the end, Su Yu still won this time!"

"No matter who you vote for! This time, I definitely have to vote for Su Yu. Mr. Su is the one who truly pushed the milestone of human technology!"

"My god, does this mean that as long as this Mr. Cai Shi's chip doesn't fail, he can live forever?!"

"Then what about Mr. Cai Shi's original body now?"

Su Yu had just raised his head when he saw this comment pop up.

He simply pressed the remote control in his hand, allowing the previously sealed space capsule to be revealed to everyone once more.

Inside the space capsule, Cai Shi's body remained motionless, still in a reclining position.

His brow was slightly furrowed, and he looked like a frozen statue.

His face was deathly pale, like paper, completely devoid of color.

Just one look was enough to know that this was an empty shell. The real Cai Shi had completely entered the chip world.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Cai Shi's body?"

The experimenter looked at Cai Shi lying silently in the space capsule, hesitated for a moment, unsure how to proceed.

Su Yu then opened his mouth and asked Cai Shi.

"Mr. Cai. The Brain-Computer Interface experiment has now been successfully completed. From now on, you no longer need to rely on your physical body to survive."

"Look, your body?"

Cai Shi also saw his former self lying in the space capsule.

After staring blankly for a while, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Donate it to the hospital responsible for researching amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. I hope I can use this useless body to do something useful."

Despite his rebirth, Cai Shi still hadn't forgotten the pain he suffered while he was sick!

He was fortunate.

But there were still countless patients in the world who were suffering from the same illness as he once did.

They were still enduring the painful torment brought by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Unable to live, yet unable to die.

If he could use his body to help doctors further conquer amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, then his suffering through everything would not have been in vain!
