Meaning

Because of the neural interface virtual reality technology, Star Sky Technology and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study were at the center of attention all over the world.

Lu Zhou, as the head of both Star Sky Technology and the Institute for Advanced Study, should have been standing in front of cameras, hosting a press conference, telling people about this new technology.

However, instead of being at a press conference and under the spotlight, he was quietly standing in a medical ward.

This ward had a special name. It was called the "Frozen Dormancy Ward".

Terminally-ill patients from all over the world had been transferred here.

The cost of cryosleep was relatively low compared to being in an ICU.

Other than the expensive Martian bacteria extract, the cost of keeping the dormant device running was not high.

Of course, this was only cheap compared to other forms of treatment.
