Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

In the crowd, Zhou Rui and Marcus looked at each other for a moment, and the old man stared at him straight.

Could "brain wave resonance" be detected? Then this ability will be greatly reduced.

So Zhou Rui took the initiative to say: "You have been looking at me? Do you have anything to ask?"

Some of his thoughts were too inexplicable, Marcus shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just feel that you look familiar?"

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Do patients with hyperthymesia also have the problem of 'familiar'? Shouldn't they just recall the correct answer directly?"

Marcus explained: "'Familiar' is not only affected by memory, but also includes associative ability and geometric sensitivity. For example, patients with prosopagnosia cannot construct associations even if they have detailed memories."

Although the reason was found at random, the explanation was correct.

Zhou Rui touched his chin: "Your thinking is not as clear as a person who has just woken up."

Marcus smiled and said: "It's not like an old man. I haven't had this feeling for a long time."

Zhou Rui nodded, turned to Zhang Biao and said: "Director Zhang, please proceed with the next step of examination and evaluation, as comprehensive as possible."

Zhang Biao's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I will definitely study it well... I mean take good care of Teacher Ma."

Marcus woke up, and from an Alzheimer's patient, he became a hyperthymesia athlete.

This news was undoubtedly extremely shocking.

So much so that those doctors who were not qualified to enter the operating room felt that they had read medical books for so many years.

Sure enough, studying medicine can't save the Chinese!

What is this equivalent to? It's equivalent to a vegetative person who immediately carried Bolt on his back and beat the world record after being cured.

A group of experts from Zhongshan Hospital immediately gave Marcus a series of detailed evaluations.

In addition to some projects that require long-term observation, based on Marcus's condition at this time, the consultation results are probably just as he judged.

The signs of "Alzheimer's disease" disappeared, and the characteristics of "hyperthymesia" were obvious, without side effects.

The activity of thinking increased significantly, and all kinds of neurological identification and EEG interpretation pointed to one result: Marcus' brain was like a new life.

The law stipulates that the person has the right to know the consultation site and all medical test results, so Marcus is both a patient and a half doctor.

Except for the content related to "Compound No. 1", he was excluded, and all others participated.

He met with a group of experts, studied himself, and said more than the doctor in charge during the consultation.

And this old man showed an incredible level.

The experience and cognition of a scientific worker gradually increase over time, but his creativity and thinking ability will gradually decline.

Ask a 60-year-old top brain science expert ranked in the top five in the world, who has obtained the peak brain power when he was 20 years old, and has a peculiar symptom such as "hyperthymesia", can call up a lifetime of experience at any time, and does not miss any memory. What would it feel like?

Intelligence, thinking ability, and memory are all at their peak, and experience covers about 40 to 50 years. It can be said to be extremely terrifying, and even the limb control ability affected by nerves is stronger than before.

To describe it in a joking way during the consultation, if Marcus was a "level 10 boss" before the illness, he is now at least level 15.

This treatment accident has created Marcus's current outrageous state, and what it represents is even more heavyweight.

1. Alzheimer's disease has been cured.

2. It can stably create hyperthymesia patients, and there is no side effect version.

No matter which one, as long as the reverse principle is clarified, it is definitely a Nobel Prize-level blockbuster achievement, which will make human cognition of the brain rise to more than one level.

Two days later, at night, in the inpatient department of Zhongshan Hospital

Because his physical condition continued to be good, and problems related to nerves and brain required more external stimulation, it was not appropriate to stay in the monotonous ICU for a long time, so Marcus was transferred to a regular single ward.

At this time, his granddaughter was lying on his bed, sleeping, and he was holding a pen and paper, writing and drawing on the low table.

"Blood draw for bed 21"

The nurse came in with a cart, and Marcus smiled and made a "hush" gesture, then stood up and actively cooperated.

"Sorry, my granddaughter is a light sleeper."

These days, he has been doing a lot of tests, including blood draws, punctures, and MRIs. The only thing missing is a "brain tissue biopsy."

But he understands this very well. If he were a doctor or a pharmaceutical company, he would probably do more.

In fact, he is indeed studying himself.

Half an hour after cooperating with the blood draw, several white coats came in. It should be the last round of rounds.

My granddaughter Mia was forced to wake up, tidied her clothes, and returned the bed to the real patient.

Marcus found the figure of "Technical Consultant: Lv Xubo" in the crowd.

I have seen this person several times in the past two days, but every time, as before, there will be an inexplicable feeling of "closeness, trust, and conviction".

Just like his "super memory state" has not faded with time, this feeling seems to have been completely engraved in his mind and cannot be reversed.

While he was puzzled by this, he did not particularly resist, or could not resist.

Zhang Biao was still in charge of the ward rounds, asking about many progress, and finally told Marcus to rest early today, as there would be a consultation tomorrow morning.

Hmm. It feels so strange.

When leaving, Marcus suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, can I talk to you privately?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Rui. Some of them knew who he was, but some didn't.

Zhou Rui didn't refuse and nodded: "Sure, do you need to go to the communication room?"

"No, just in the corridor."

A few minutes later, the other doctors left, and only Zhou Rui and Marcus were left in the corridor.

There were no chairs here, but Zhou Rui brought two out from the nurse's office, and the two sat against the wall.

Marcus took the initiative to say: "Should I call you Mr. Lu or Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised. He just said calmly: "What do you base your judgment on?"

Marcus pinched his hand, and the nail of his thumb passed over the other four fingers in turn. This was his habit for many years, used to check the length and cleanliness of the nails at all times.

He once forgot this habit, but now he remembered it.

"A lot, such as other people's attitudes towards you, such as your own demeanor and aura, and yesterday when the dean came to check on you, he called your last name wrong. Zhang Biao's reaction was not doubt but nervousness."

"I was already ill when you became famous, but hyperthymesia still allowed me to retrieve your face and some deeds. At first, I couldn't connect them together, but once I figured it out, I found that this was Master Zhou himself~"

It is not uncommon for Zhou Rui's "second image" disguise to be exposed. This ability is originally good for strangers, and effective but not long-lasting for acquaintances.

But it is the first time that a person who didn't know him originally broke it just through analysis.

Something.

Zhou Rui became more and more curious about what this person wanted to say: "So Marcus, why did you want to talk to me alone?"

Marcus said solemnly: "Although there are speculations from the outside world, I have also checked a lot of information today, but I still want to confirm with you in person. Are you the inventor of 'Compound No. 1'?"

After speaking, Marcus stared at Zhou Rui with sharp eyes.

Zhou Rui smiled: "Yes, Compound No. 1 is from me."

Marcus judged Zhou Rui's expression and concluded that the other party was not lying.

He had not studied "micro-expressions", but he recently discovered a new use of "hypermia", that is, the mind can remember "a moment" reaction, and it is very detailed.

As long as the subconscious behavior is replayed repeatedly, supplemented by the life experience accumulated in the past sixty years, the other party's "real thoughts" can be roughly judged.

Just like watching a certain expression video repeatedly, even without micro-expression knowledge, many things can be discovered by instinct.

Marcus pursed his lips: "It's really such a big span. What a genius!"

Zhou Rui: "You're flattering me. I'm not a genius, I just work harder. So why do you ask this question?"

Marcus pondered for a moment and said: "I have some important information to reveal to you, but I need you to agree to a request first..."

Zhou Rui smiled and shook his head: "I don't like it very much. Talking about the results with unknown conditions."

Marcus looked away and looked at the long corridor.

The lights at the end were off, making the corridor seem endless, just like Marcus's thoughts.

Well. Actually, Linto was standing in the dark, but Marcus' eyes did not change, and he saw nothing.

Marcus said leisurely:

"I believe you are very clear about my current condition. I have hyperthymesia, my brain has regained its youth, my limb control ability has been strengthened, and my nervous system has been strengthened."

Zhou Rui: "You may have missed a cure for 'Alzheimer's disease.'"

"Yes, there is also Alzheimer's disease. This is indeed amazing, but Mr. Zhou, compared with what I will say next, you will find that the cure for Alzheimer's disease is just a supporting role."

Marcus' eyes sparkled, and a strong excitement and curiosity emerged.

"Hypermia + brain rejuvenation + nervous system strengthening, these three may not be accidental, nor will they be isolated cases, but can be replicated."

"A certain substance that remains in my body works together with the 'Compound No. 1' that strengthens the whole body's compensatory mechanism, and together they have created a miracle in me. I will temporarily call it 'Compound No. 2'."

"No one can refuse this temptation. For young people, this is creating geniuses. For the elderly, this is rejuvenation in the sense of thinking, surpassing their peak. They will give everything in exchange for such an opportunity, especially scientific researchers!"

"The commercial value behind this. No, the commercial value is not enough to describe it. It should be said that it is of great significance to human progress, which is simply immeasurable!"

Marcus looked directly at Zhou Rui: "And I, Mr. Zhou, have confirmed the source of the second substance through memory combing"

He believed that whether this Master Zhou was a scientist or an entrepreneur, he could not refuse this temptation.

And his small request would be agreed to naturally.

"As long as you agree, let me."

Suddenly, Zhou Rui spoke a word.

"TDX-42 protein, right?"

Marcus froze and looked at Zhou Rui in shock.

Zhou Rui's smile was unpredictable.

Even when smart people clash, there are differences in their superiority
