With the technical data retrieved from Elysium, coupled with the help of Little X, Chen Chen finally succeeded in coming up with a way for the Medpod 3000 to access the network a few days later.

Even so, Chen Chen later learned that, even if the Medpod 3000 was decoded and connected to the network, it was still useless. This was because this machine was only responsible for the end operation. The data calculation and username verification required for the treatment had to be obtained from the cloud database.

In other words, the Medpod 3000 platform had a dedicated external database, where the user's disease would be a.n.a.lyzed and the optimal solution calculated. Then, the solution would be transmitted back to the platform and finally, the platform would start the treatment.

As an a.n.a.logy, the Medpod 3000 was like an online game client on a computer. To run the game, the client itself was not enough. One must be connected to the Internet and logged into one's account.

Still, after Little X had obtained the database of the Medpod 3000's server, all of these problems were solved.

Currently, a Black Knight was lying in the Medpod 3000. As the scanner in the platform spun around, the Medpod 3000 scanned everything within the Black Knight's body.

“Warning, the user's brainwaves can't be detected. The user is brain-dead and cannot be treated!”

When the Medpod 3000 finished inspecting the Black Knight, it sent such a message to Little X who was acting as the cloud server.

Without Chen Chen saying anything, Little X sent an order for forced treatment to the Medpod 3000.

Therefore, the Medpod 3000 was forced to begin its procedure. A group of invisible nanorobots was released. They burrowed into the Black Knight's body and began to repair the Black Knight's physical injuries on a cellular level.

The Black Knight's injuries included muscle strain and multiple capillary tears, all of which were trivial injuries. These nanorobots only moved around for a while before coming out of the Black Knight's body.

At the same time, the Black Knight's internal injuries that had been caused by training were completely healed.

“There are no safety risks.”

Upon seeing this result, Little X said, “The internal wounds in A0012 have been successfully repaired. However, I've realized that when the Medpod 3000 is repairing the human body, there's a loss of nanorobots. Some nanorobots will be damaged during their work and thus leave themselves behind in the body. Still, because they are so small, these nanorobots in the human body will be excreted within a week.”

“That's normal. It's fine as long as it's harmless.”

Chen Chen nodded. After that, he took off his clothes methodically, lay upon the platform, and wordlessly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Little X controlled the Medpod 3000 to start operating. The scanner began to scan Chen Chen's body for internal injuries, hidden cancer cells, and other diseases.

“Sir G.o.dfather, you have moderate anemia and there are slight injuries in your knee joints and cervical joints. There are many signs of damage to the blood vessels in the nasal cavity. The brain once suffered from slight bleeding, but no compression injury has occurred.

“Besides, the cells in your body are seriously damaged. Many of them have been damaged by rays.”

“So, my body has so many problems, huh?”

Chen Chen suddenly understood that his cell damage and anemia were all caused by crystalline while the injuries at his joints had occurred during his training.

As for the cerebral hemorrhage… Was it caused by prolonged usage of NZT-48 or his excessive use of “Field”?

Chen Chen was rather uncertain.

Nonetheless, it did not matter what the reason was. The Medpod 3000 could fix everything for him.

With this in mind, the Medpod 3000 started to function again. Chen Chen only felt a scorching sensation slowly permeate through his body and quickly circulate in his body.

Unlike those ordinary people who used the Medpod 3000 in the movie, Chen Chen sensed that the Medpod 3000 took a long time to repair his body. The burning sensation only gradually faded after ten minutes.

This was followed by a peculiar feeling of comfort.

Chen Chen suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He stretched his waist vigorously and there was a crackling sound all over his body.

“Sir G.o.dfather, how does it feel when your body is optimized to a perfect state?”

Little X asked.

“It's like my body is floating as if I've just recovered from a serious illness.”

Chen Chen got off the Medpod 3000 platform and found that his voice had become clearer. The machine had even healed the strain within his vocal cords.

Was this the power of nanotechnology?

This magical technology could restore human beings to the peak state of their bodies at any time. In addition to certain health-preserving techniques, it was not impossible to extend the human lifespan to more than two hundred years.

“Even so, there are still some flaws in the Medpod 3000's nanotechnology.”

Little X suddenly spoke, “According to the data, the Medpod 3000 cannot repair brain nerve cells because of the special nature of human consciousness. That's to say, minor ailments such as cerebral hemorrhage can be treated but if the brain suffers any trauma, no repair work can be done.”

“That's to be expected. After all, how human consciousness is formed is still a mystery.”

Chen Chen nodded. “If the brain dies and the consciousness disappears, even if the brain nerve cells are repaired, the consciousness probably won't return.

“Plus, the movie's ending also mentioned this problem. To reboot Elysium, the protagonist Max is willing to choose brain death. The story has also told the audience that brain death cannot be reversed by the Medpod 3000.”

At this point, Chen Chen sighed inwardly. The essence of a person was their consciousness and consciousness was the product of the brain.

Scientific research had found that human emotions were also influenced by the hormones secreted by the body but even if the secreted hormones were lost, at most that person would become somewhat emotionally apathetic.

Thus, strictly speaking, as long as technology allowed the human brain to be taken out, then one could claim that this brain was the person himself. No matter how much s.p.a.ce their body took up, it was just a replaceable sh.e.l.l.

Consequently, in Chen Chen's view, no matter what strategies and technologies there were to optimize the human body, one's lifespan could only be extended to a certain point, for the human brain would eventually die.

To pursue a longer life, Chen Chen would have to embark on an unprecedented path.

The consciousness-transporting computer technology in Transcendence?

The consciousness-replacement technique in Detective Pikachu?

Chen Chen considered these before shaking his head.

The consciousness replacement in Detective Pikachu was only temporary and required the support of a device. Once the device was taken off, this replacement was terminated. It was not Chen Chen's style at all.

On the other hand, after finis.h.i.+ng the movie Transcendence, Chen Chen could not determine whether the consciousness in the computer was the protagonist himself or was it just a computer program that simulated the protagonist's thinking?

If it was the latter, it meant that the actual protagonist had died, so this technology was pointless to Chen Chen.

After all, what Chen Chen sought was the preservation of consciousness. The cessation of consciousness was equivalent to the death of a person. Even if an intelligent program that contained your very thoughts and memories was replicated in a computer, it was useless.
