605: Chapter 249: Lu Xuanyu Wakes Up, The Surgery Was Very Successful 605: Chapter 249: Lu Xuanyu Wakes Up, The Surgery Was Very Successful Lu Xuanyu once again hazily opened his eyes and vaguely saw soone with a mask doing sothing beside him.
Upon seeing him wake up, that dical staff imdiately shouted sothing into the intercom, probably “the patient has awakened for the first ti.”
The person bent down, waved at Lu Xuanyu, and said sothing.
It seed to be…
“Can you hear speak?”
It also seed to be “Please look at ” or, “Please look at my finger.”
Was a flashlight pulled out or not…
Lu Xuanyu didn’t rember the last details very clearly.
Sleepiness once again weighed on his spirits.
He sank into darkness again.
When he woke up again, he felt his hand being held.
Lu Xuanyu opened his eyes and saw his wife by his bedside, holding his hand, with what seed to be a halo of sanctity on her face…
Ah, no, that’s not right.
Her face was sweaty, reflecting light.
Upon seeing Lu Xuanyu wake up, his wife’s lips curled upward, but at the sa ti, tears stread down her face.
She pressed Lu Xuanyu’s hand against her forehead, sitting silently.
“What’s going on…” Lu Xuanyu began, “Your forehead is so cold…
why are you sweating so much…”
Lu Xuanyu felt a sense of discord.
A blanket covered him from the chest down, and his exposed hand felt a bit cold.
He was also wearing a long-sleeved hospital gown.
But his wife was wearing short sleeves, with sothing cool like ice patches on her neck and arms.
Despite this, beads of sweat continuously erged from under her skin.
Lu Xuanyu turned his head woodenly and saw that Ms.
Florence beside him was dressed similarly, in a short-sleeved white shirt, with cool patches on so parts of her body.
Lu Xuanyu was sowhat dazed, “This is…”
“Congratulations, Mr.
Lu, the surgery was very successful.” Ms.
Florence smiled and congratulated him, “You are now a standard Benchmark Man.”
Lu Xuanyu was sowhat dazed, feeling very surreal.
He just thought that “the air conditioning is a bit high here.” But in reality, the heater had already heated the room to over thirty degrees.
He and Homo sapiens were now fundantally different.
“This…” he looked at his own arm, not feeling much different from before.
But now he was no longer a human in the traditional sense.
“Incredible…”
Muttering to himself, Lu Xuanyu suddenly realized: “What ti is it now?”
His wife then spoke, “It’s already sumr…”
When Lu Xuanyu arrived in Beiping, it was just entering spring, and there were still remnants of snow on the ground.
The first phase was to “destroy the immune system,” which took a total of twenty-one days.
And this second phase of remodeling had directly progressed to mid-year.
“It’s nearly the height of sumr…” Lu Xuanyu found himself thinking of his holand out of the blue.
The scorching sumr days…
waterlons…
But he quickly realized that the “scorching sumr days” back ho would probably feel like “bone-chilling coldness” to him now.
He struggled to sit up.
At that mont, Ms.
Florence tily handed him so mouthwash, asking, “How do you feel now?”
“Nothing special…
just feeling very tired and weary,” Lu Xuanyu gargled the mouthwash, feeling sothing was off with his body.
Ms.
Florence said, “Having not moved for several months, your muscles are bound to have atrophied and shrunk.
Even with healthcare staff regularly turning and massaging you, it would be the sa.” Ms.
Florence said, “The third stage of the treatnt has already been arranged.”
Upon noticing Lu Xuanyu’s awakening, Ms.
Florence had inford his wife.
His wife insisted on coming in every once in a while to wait, until she could no longer bear it and left.
Ms.
Florence had tried to persuade her, but the patient’s family was adamant, and she had no right to stop them—fortunately, Lu Xuanyu’s immune system had been reset, and isolation protection was not much needed at this stage.
That said, nowadays, there are hardly any pathogens on Earth that can infect a body with a temperature of fifty degrees Celsius.
The first stage “Immune Destruction,” the second stage “Gene Transfer,” and then cos the third stage of the surgery.
This stage includes a “Dietary Supplent Plan,” “Rehabilitation Training,” and follow-up observations, possibly even so fine adjustnts of the genes.
The “Dietary Supplent Plan” needs no further explanation.
In this stage, those who have undergone remodeling surgery have just transford into Benchmark Man.
They need a lot of tal elents to synthesize proteins that Homo sapiens do not have.
For Homo sapiens, these tal elents are toxic and ingesting them would only harm liver function.
Thus, those who have just converted into Benchmark n are essentially in a state of “malnutrition” and require various supplents in addition to their diet.
Rehabilitation training naturally targets the atrophied and degraded body functions of the second stage.
And “Gene Fine-tuning” ans transferring or artificially activating a few genes based on various symptoms exhibited by the patient.
Compared to the “Benchmark Human Remodeling Surgery,” these changes are trivial, basically on the level of the 1990s.
At this stage, the Gene Modification Surgery for Benchmark Humanization of Homo sapiens is still not mature.
In animal experints involving tal-based transformation, Yawgmoth has already avoided all potentially fatal traits.
But those who underwent remodeling at this stage still exhibit so harmless quirks.
So might affect daily life and would require further gene therapy for improvent.
Ms.
Florence told Lu Xuanyu that the third stage of treatnt could be arranged for tomorrow.
The process would still last for several months.
As for today, Lu Xuanyu could relax a bit.
Of course, before that, he still had one last task, which was to take the cognitive test.
After several months, the test seed to have so new types of questions he had never seen before.
Although Lu Xuanyu felt sowhat groggy, he took the test seriously.
Ms.
Florence was waiting nearby.
While taking the test, Lu Xuanyu said, “I rember what Mr.
Xiang told before.
He has a grand vision, saying he wants all humanity to enjoy this gene modification surgery.”
“Yes, that’s right,” Ms.
Florence nodded.
“That’s why our dical center exists.
We will continually work to reduce costs and find ways to make the surgery accessible to all humans.”
“But if this surgery requires staying in the hospital for six months…” Lu Xuanyu shook his head.
“Who could stand that?”
“Well, on one hand, we can hope for public healthcare systems.
Like, include it in health insurance or sothing,” Ms.
Florence said, “the boss even hopes to convince Cuba to carry the banner of internationalism.
It’s impressive for him as a capitalist to maintain a good relationship with that country.”
“Also, there are admittedly so not fully matured Acceleration thods.”
