在一片黑暗中，嗅觉首先恢复了工作，他闻见了一种未曾经历的气味，融合了某种清香与极为轻微的塑料的味道。

随后是听觉，隐约有人在呼喊他，尽管可以听出来那些话语是中文普通话，但听起来却十分蹩脚，像是一个已经在中国定居了十几年却还在努力学习中文的老外在喊你。

紧接着是触觉，他的身体感觉十分轻盈，虽然是躺着，但却觉得没有躺在任何实质的物体上，一种舒服而有力的力量托举着他。他手腕附近的汗毛因为某种类似静电的力而短暂地竖了起来，很快又恢复了正常。

最后是视觉，在努力睁开眼的过程里，他看见了极为轻柔的白光，这种白光不仅不刺眼，好像还对人的视力恢复有帮助。男人得以看清了自己所处的环境——一个三面都是白墙，或者看起来是白墙的房间。他头顶的白光在他眼睛全都睁开以后就消失了，取而代之的是一种透明的玻璃质感，玻璃的外面不出意外应该是土星的星环和围绕星环建造的星星都市圈。男人得以知道自己实实在在完成了这次冬眠，跨越了大概两百年时光去到了未来。

”程先生，您感觉怎么样？“身旁一个金发碧眼但容貌更接近亚洲面孔的男性终于获得了男人的注意力，他的普通话实在和男人那个时代的普通话相去甚远，男人用了好一会儿才理解他每一个字的发音。

男人废了一些劲才让喉头动了起来，”我觉得——“，随后他就卡痰了。

他所处的舱室比较像男人开始冬眠那个时代里科幻电影里外星飞船的医疗仓，从男人脸庞的一侧，一个碗状的白色容器缓缓浮了上来，男人对着这个”碗“吐了很多痰，终于觉得嗓子里清爽了起来。

”我觉得很舒服，现在是什么时代？我在哪里？“男人坐了起来，他的冬眠舱自然地打开了舱门，从他的后背处，一个白色的靠背自然漂浮起来起到了支撑作用。

”现在是公历2203年，太阳历46e+325年，土星历2193年。您所处的位置是土星环基地1号。您刚从冬眠中醒来，冬眠的开始时间是公历2022年。“

男人稍微回忆起了更多内容，也想起了自己冬眠的原因，”我的癌症，治好了吗？“

应该就是他的冬眠医生，或者是管理师，或者是随便什么岗位的男人点了点头，”是的，我们已经突破了许多肢体再生技术的瓶颈，您的癌症已经痊愈了。我们信守了与程昱院士的承诺，他是一位伟人，没有他的程氏度规张量就没有我们现在的深空FTL航行。我们也遵循了他的遗愿，将他的骨灰撒在了地日拉格朗日L2点处。他的纪念碑现在依然在那里。“

听到了这个消息，男人的眼神暗淡了下来，良久没有说话。

这个时代的人类可能缺乏更加细腻的情感知觉，医生自顾自接着说道：”另外，尽管这个时代已经基本没有冬眠者。作为最后一批冬眠者之一，您需要了解，您的冬眠年限并不能作为您的实际年龄依据。您在本时代的法定年龄依然是冬眠以前的33周岁。您在冬眠前签订的人道主义捐赠协议明确了我们不能对您的身体功能进行本时代的技术干预，我们仅通过精确杀灭的方式消灭了您身上的癌细胞，但它们对您器官造成的伤害依然客观存在。请问您是否依然想要履行您在冬眠前签署的捐赠协议？“

医生的话让男人想起，他冬眠的真正原因。

在杭州的西湖边，她答应了他的追求，却又立刻在接吻之后昏了过去。医生的诊断抢在了一天的结束以前到来，所有还没来得及实现的美好愿望都在ICU门口与眼泪混合在了一起。在绝望中他想到了许久未曾联络的父亲，父亲替他出面找到了更好的医院和更好的大夫。

在所有参与配型的人员中，他并不是最合适的，但却是唯一一个癌症晚期。

程教授动用了更多能量，让他得以参与到一个极为前沿的实验项目之中。但她的消息，成为了他昏睡过去之前最后的记挂。

”她，还在吗？“他鼓起了勇气问出这句话。

”噢朱女士是吗，她也参与了冬眠项目。她预计会在土星时间明天这个时候醒来，她现在在地球二号基地。如果您希望继续进行移植，我们会遵从您的意愿，在唤醒她的同时完成手术。她的身体状况依然不太乐观，她所患的是这个时代依然极为少有的无法依靠技术彻底根除的疾病。“

医生说着，对着一旁的墙上比划了什么，白色的墙面开始变化出一个太空基地的图像，在基地的后面，地球依然是男人熟悉的那个样子。

”我愿意履行协议，并自愿放弃我的生命。“男人坚定地说出了这句话。

”好的，您将成为最后一位主动进行生命捐赠的人类，而朱女士也将成为最后一位接受生命捐赠的人类。人类感谢你们。“

男人好像解脱了，他平躺了下来，在闭上眼休息以前，他还说了一句话。

”我还想做一件事情。“

公历2203年，她从同样的冬眠舱醒来，感觉身体前所未有的轻松。她似乎对这个时代的一切适应得都很快，连她的医生都发出少有的赞叹。

半天后，她好奇那个一直放在房间里的蓝色小盒子是做什么用的。

”噢，那是一个您那个时代得了奖的发现，我没有记错的话应该叫EPR相干，您那个时代更时髦的说法是量子纠缠。我们在开发零点能之后就不太需要相关的技术了。您的捐赠者最后的遗愿是取下他身上的一对粒子，在完成捐赠后进行EPR相干。我们现在虽然不太使用这种技术了，但实现起来没有什么难度。我们从程先生身上取下了一对碳正离子与碳负离子，现在它们就是相干状态。程先生选择在捐赠后冰冻了他的遗体，因此这对粒子理论上会伴随着您永久存在。这个盒子上的显示按键会指示您身上的碳负离子此时在身体所处的位置。“

医生说着拿过了盒子，轻点了上面的显示按钮。

从盒子里投射的全息投影充斥了整个房间，上面显示着一个被高亮出来的粒子被簇拥在其他粒子之间。

医生缩小了一点比例尺，退到人体器官尺度。

那个被纠缠的粒子正好位于她心脏的位置。

In the darkness, the sense of smell returned to work first, and he smelled something he had never experienced before, a combination of something delicate and a very slight smell of plastic.

Then came the hearing. Someone was calling him vaguely. Although the words were in Mandarin Chinese, they sounded very lame, like a foreigner who has lived in China for more than ten years but is still trying to learn Chinese calling you.

Immediately followed by touch, his body felt very light. Although he was lying down, he felt that he was not lying on any substantial object, and a comfortable and powerful force lifted him up. The hairs near his wrists stood up briefly due to some kind of static-like force, but soon returned to normal.

The last was vision. In the process of trying to open his eyes, he saw a very soft white light. This white light was not only not dazzling, but also seemed to be helpful for vision recovery. The man was able to see his environment—a room with white walls on three sides, or what appeared to be white walls. The white light above his head disappeared after all his eyes were opened, replaced by a transparent glass texture. The outside of the glass should be Saturn's rings and the star metropolis built around them. The man was able to know that he had actually completed this hibernation, and had crossed about two hundred years to the future.

"Mr. Cheng, how do you feel?" A blond, blue-eyed man with an Asian face next to him finally got the man's attention. His Mandarin was far from the Mandarin of the man's era, and it took him a while to use it. Only then did he understand the pronunciation of every word.

It took some effort for the man to get his throat moving, "I think—", and then he got stuck.

The cabin he was in was more like the medical cabin of the alien spacecraft in the sci-fi movie when the man started hibernating. From the side of the man's face, a bowl-shaped white container slowly floated up, and the man vomited at the "bowl". A lot of phlegm, and finally felt refreshed in the throat.

"I feel very comfortable, what time is it now? Where am I?" The man sat up, his hibernation pod opened naturally, and from his back, a white backrest naturally floated up to play a supporting role .

"It's Gregorian year 2203, solar year 46e+325, Saturn year 2193. Your location is Saturn's ring base 1. You have just woken up from hibernation, which begins in Gregorian 2022."

The man recalled a little more content, and also remembered the reason for his hibernation, "Is my cancer cured?"

It should be his hibernation doctor, or a manager, or a man in any position who nodded, "Yes, we have broken through the bottleneck of many limb regeneration technologies, and your cancer has been cured. We have fulfilled our promise with Academician Cheng , he is a great man, without his Cheng metric tensor, there would be no deep space FTL voyage we are now. We also followed his last wish and scattered his ashes in the Earth Lagrang L2 o'clock on Sunday. His monument is still there."

Hearing this news, the man's eyes dimmed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Humans in this era may lack more delicate emotional perception, and the doctor continued: "In addition, although there are basically no hibernators in this era. As one of the last batch of hibernators, you need to understand that your hibernation years do not add up to the basis of your actual age. Your legal age in this era is still 33 years old before hibernation. The humanitarian donation agreement you signed before hibernation made it clear that we cannot carry out technical intervention in this era on your bodily function. The cancer cells in your body are eliminated by precise killing, but the damage they cause to your organs is still objective. Do you still want to fulfill the donation agreement you signed before hibernation?"

The doctor's words reminded the man of the real reason for his hibernation.

By the West Lake in Hangzhou, she agreed to his yearning words, but immediately passed out after the kiss. The doctor's diagnosis arrived before the end of the day, and all the good wishes that had not yet been realized were mixed with tears at the door of the ICU. In desperation, he thought of his father, whom he had not contacted for a long time, who came forward to find a better hospital and a better doctor for her.

Of all the people involved in the match, he was not the most suitable, but the only one with advanced cancer.

Professor Cheng used more energy to allow him to participate in a very cutting-edge experimental project. But her news became his last memory before he fell asleep.

"Is she still there?" he mustered the courage to ask.

"Oh Ms. Zhu, she is also involved in the hibernation project. She is expected to wake up at this time tomorrow, Saturn time, and she is now at base two on Earth. If you wish to proceed with the transplant, we will follow your wishes and wake up She completed the operation at the same time. Her physical condition is still not optimistic, and she suffers from a disease that is still very rare in this era and cannot be completely eradicated by technology.”

As the doctor said, he drew something on the wall beside him. The white wall began to transform into an image of a space base. Behind the base, the earth was still the familiar look of men.

"I am willing to fulfill the agreement and voluntarily give up my life." The man said this sentence firmly.

"Okay, you will be the last human being to take the initiative to donate life, and Ms. Zhu will also be the last human being to accept the donation of life. Humanity thanks you."

The man seemed to be relieved, he lay down on his back, and before closing his eyes to rest, he said a word.

"I want to do one more thing."

In the year 2203 of the Gregorian calendar, she woke up from the same hibernation cabin, feeling more relaxed than ever before. She seemed to adapt quickly to everything in this era, and even her doctor gave a rare admiration.

After half a day, she wondered what the little blue box that had been in the room was for.

"Oh, that was a prize-winning discovery of your era, EPR coherence if I remember correctly, quantum entanglement was a more fashionable term in your era. We don't need the technology much after we've developed zero-point energy. Your donor's last wish is to remove a pair of particles from him and perform EPR coherence after the donation. We don't use this technology very much now, but it is not difficult to achieve. We took it from Mr. Cheng and created a pair of carbanion+ and carbanion-, and now they are coherent. Mr. Cheng chose to freeze his body after donation, so the pair of particles will theoretically stay with you forever. The display button on this box will indicate to you The carbanion ions on the body are where the body is at this time."

The doctor said that he took the box and tapped the display button on it.

Holographic projections cast from the box fill the room, showing a highlighted particle huddled among other particles.

The doctor reduced the scale a little, back to the scale of human organs.

That entangled particle was exactly where her heart was.
