Meanwhile, Charlie was led by Kathleen to take the elevator to the first floor of the building, and they then passed the three defense centers on the first floor before taking a special elevator to the freezing center on the fifth floor underground.
Since Jordan had prepared this freezing center to preserve his own body and the freezing center was designed to last for three hundred years, the security here was no less than the defense facility for the president to hide in the doomsday plan.
Although the freezing center was nearly a hundred meters deep underground, there was a complete strategic reserve here. Even if the United States was truly hit by a nuclear attack, this place would still be safe and sound.
According to the design scale, this freezing center could freeze at least a hundred bodies. However, at present, aside from experimental remains, only Merlin was actually being frozen here.
After Charlie had arrived at the freezing center, he found that this place was like a scene from a science fiction movie. The entire space was filled with a variety of equipment, and there were a large number of special pipes for the transmission of air, oxygen, and liquid nitrogen.
In addition, the biggest visual impact was the hundreds of huge stainless steel tanks which stood in the entire freezing center. Each of the tanks was at least four or five meters high. When one looked up from below, one would even feel a sense of insignificance.
These tanks were the ‘freezers’ especially used to freeze the human body.
Kathleen had transferred all the scientific research experts and staff of the freezing center out in advance for the sake of confidentiality. Therefore, only Charlie and a few of them were in the freezing center, making it seem very deserted. In addition, this kind of place was originally a cold storage for storing human bodies at ultra-low temperatures, so it felt a little gloomier.
At this time, Kathleen then said to Charlie from the side, “Mr. Wade, according to the current standard of human body freezing technology, after a person dies, he will go through a fifty-hour program to cool down, and his temperature will be gradually lowered before being placed into the freezing tank to freeze in order to prevent the cells from producing ice crystals during the rapid cooling, thus damaging the cells.”
Having said that, Kathleen continued, “However, the technology of freezing and thawing is only half conquered at present. The safe freezing process is no longer a problem, but thawing is still a huge problem that cannot be solved. So far, there has not been a single case of successful thawing around the world...”
