Chapter 7: Enticement
I am merely following orders to ensure your, um... your physical health; as for the rest, I do not know!" Sam looked at the professor and shrugged helplessly: "In a while, someone will bring you... uh... food, and you can have a hearty meal here.
"Professor, we had no choice but to invite you in this manner, as we are conducting a secret experiment, a great project that benefits humanity." The voice was evidently somewhat agitated
What exactly is this place? Every time I wake up, I find myself in a strange location, without any assistants or familiar items. Have I been kidnapped? What use is this old body of mine? I am not a millionaire or a billionaire. What on earth is going on?" The professor gazed at the expensive furniture, unable to comprehend.
After listening to the professor's words, the ungraspable silence lingered for a moment, then gently sighed: "I apologize once again for the unjust treatment you have received. If you were to see our research institution and the strong research team, I am confident that you would change your initial intention"
"Have you resolved the issue of rejection reactions? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. So far, this topic has only remained in the theoretical experimental stage. To my knowledge, no country has been able to overcome this challenge. Only the Yamei Group has mentioned a similar concept in their development direction for the next five years, proposing to bypass rejection reactions by using somatic cell cloning for organs, but they are still in the exploratory phase. It is absolutely impossible for you to resolve rejection reactions now." Professor Liang sat up, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.
Professor Liang shook his head and no longer paid him any attention, as it seemed that no useful information could be extracted from the mouth of this 'half-baked Chinese speaker'
"Where am I?" Professor Liang asked the doctor with a puzzled expression in English
"Who ... ..." Teacher Liang Jianguo suddenly sat up from the bed, straining to support his weak body, and was laboriously searching for the source of the sound
Professor, please listen to me before making a decision; it is not too late. We have resolved the issue of organ transplant rejection, allowing for allogeneic organ transplants without concern for rejection. Through a newly developed biopharmaceutical, we can permanently address rejection issues. As long as patients take the medication continuously for one year post-surgery, they will not suffer from rejection for the rest of their lives. Over the past two years, we have had many cases survive, including more than ten cases of heart and kidney transplants, with a success rate of ninety-five percent, and no adverse reactions post-surgery. Currently, we are undertaking the most challenging aspect of this trial, which is brain transplantation. Although we have experience with other organ transplants, unfortunately, we are not neurosurgeons and cannot put this into practice. If this trial is successful, we will announce the results to the world. We can make it benefit humanity, allowing those whose organs have failed or been accidentally damaged to gain a new lease on life, potentially saving millions of lives. Theoretically, we could also indefinitely extend human lifespan. Do you not think this is a great achievement?
We are merely a group of unassuming researchers striving for the human ideal of 'immortality.' I regret to inform you that I cannot disclose any information regarding our identities without the authorization of the person in charge.
Professor Liang took a deep breath, striving to calm himself: "Who exactly are you? My stance is very clear; I will not yield to anyone or any force. Do not think that wealth can buy anything from me. Perhaps if you invite me openly, I would be pleased to discuss these topics with you.
Professor Liang Jianguo found himself lying on a hospital bed in an unfamiliar room when he woke up again
Haha, there is nothing impossible in this world. In fact, we have achieved it. For the future of humanity, we are secretly conducting this world-shocking research. As long as you can help us complete the final step, this will be an achievement comparable to that of the Creator; God gave life to humanity, and we have extended human life. This achievement is unparalleled and unimaginable. Additionally, after collaborating with us, you will receive 10 million US dollars and the right to enjoy the research results preferentially, which includes a completely healthy heart replacement at no cost to you.
The half-hearted individual left after Professor Liang completed the medical examination
No..." The professor's expression was calm, and his tone was incredibly firm
An intravenous infusion tube is inserted into the wrist, and someone is using an injection of glucose to sustain their life
Professor, there is no need to waste your effort. I am the person in charge here, my name is Roer, and I am currently communicating with you through the intercom system in the room. I would like to discuss some matters regarding our collaboration.
Hmph, shameless kidnapper, I can clearly tell you that I will serve no one and no organization other than the government of the People's Republic of China, absolutely not...'' the professor said coldly
Who are you? Why have you brought me here? This is kidnapping! Professor Liang struggled to sit up and asked a series of questions with some agitation
After a long silence, the other party coldly said: "Professor, you will regret it."
"Professor Liang, let us have a good talk." A voice emerged from the corner, interrupting the professor's contemplation, and it was spoken in English
Why have you brought me here? The professor has been in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness these days, but he can feel himself constantly moving, not knowing how many planes and ships he has taken, nearly exhausting this old body to the point of breaking down
Professor Liang leaned back on the bed and glanced around. The room was not large, approximately 30 square meters, with very simple furnishings: a bed, a set of exquisite mahogany tables and chairs, and a thick carpet on the floor. There were no windows on the walls, making it impossible to see the outside scenery or discern whether it was day or night.
Professor Liang, we can converse in Chinese. I am learning Chinese, and you should know that it is truly not easy to meet a Chinese person! The doctor continued in his broken Chinese, saying: "I cannot say where this place is, but you are our esteemed guest. Call me Sam, it is a pleasure to meet you"
"No... no matter what, I refuse." Professor Liang's face was filled with determination
A Caucasian man resembling a doctor is busy at the bedside, tall and thin, approximately 40 years old, with messy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a large nose, though his nose is somewhat oversized, which makes it look awkward. He is referred to as a doctor simply because he is wearing a white coat and is currently examining him.
"Whatever the cooperation is, I will not agree to it, because I will not compromise with those who have kidnapped me," Professor Liang weakly lay back on the bed, turned over with his face to the wall, and closed his eyes as he replied.
