I participated in the development of EVA

The journal editor, who was in charge of the review, came forward to explain the situation to everyone.

The people on the review panel are either associate professors or professors.

Although Dr. Ito is the protagonist of this review, she is only at the expert level and is still far from the level of associate professor. Of course, this was the situation before. Now, as long as the results of the Hyacinth Project are verified, according to the standards before the second impact, she will be qualified to be selected as an associate professor. Even becoming a full professor will only take a few years.

Even if you spend a little more time on it, you can win the highest award in medicine.

Everyone present was a scholar, and after a few simple polite remarks, they got down to business.

Along with the review team came a dozen vegetative volunteers.

Dr. Ito and his team members studied the cases of each volunteer. Most of these people became vegetative due to various reasons after the second impact. Only two cases were patients before the second impact. They did not need to wake up all the patients, or even save any of them. As long as they could prove the authenticity of the paper, it would be fine.

However, it only proves the therapeutic effect, and the greatest achievement is to bring Dr. Ito one step closer to becoming an associate professor.

The review team members not only observed, but also participated in the treatment process.

It's just that they don't understand this treatment method and can only lend a helping hand and offer whatever help they can. They are scholars and doctors, and those participating in the research are their patients. Their families have entrusted their lives to them, so they naturally want to avoid secondary harm to the patients during the experiment as much as possible.

Of course, in addition to their own duties, they also want to observe and learn.

If the treatment method is really as exaggerated as described in the paper, no... as long as it can have one tenth of the effect, it would be worth their while to humble themselves and learn it.

Besides this——

"Doctor Ito, is this the neural connection device mentioned in your paper?"

"Ah."

Dr. Ito simply responded without saying much. Although she was excited at the moment, her mind was clear. She knew that these colleagues came here with other tasks besides reviewing the manuscript.

Scientists are also human beings, and as long as they are human beings, they cannot live in seclusion from the world.

These scholars are no different from her, except that they serve different people.

Seeing that Dr. Ito was unwilling to say more, everyone did not continue to ask questions, but their eyes remained on the neural connection device. However, the device was completely wrapped in a metal shell, and even the power cord could not be seen. In this situation, no matter how powerful a person was, he would not be able to observe any useful information with the naked eye.

As for the high-end appearance?

Not to mention the people present, even ordinary people can convert a van worth several thousand yuan into a luxury car as long as they are willing to spend money.

What is truly secret is the internal structure.

After some diagnosis, Dr. Ito selected a patient with the mildest symptoms from the dozen cases. Of course, this mild symptom refers to the case that is easiest to awaken in the Hyacinth Project. In fact, this patient's condition is no different from that of the other patients. They have been in a coma for more than three years and have no signs of waking up at all.

What was pushed into the laboratory was not a bed, but a device that looked like a fish tank. At this moment, the patient was immersed in orange liquid with a ventilator.

Everyone was a little confused, and then they recognized that it was lcl.

Three years ago, in order to ease the situation, Seele announced some data related to LCL, of course, mixed with some other research results not involving EVA. However, these data did not attract much attention. People who knew about it just regarded it as a special nutrient solution. It was the Hyacinth Project paper that really let everyone present know the existence of LCL.

Of course, people's understanding of LCL is still that it is a kind of medicinal liquid, so it did not cause any commotion, but a scholar asked a question out of curiosity.

"Is this the drug called LCL? Since it needs to be absorbed by the patient, why not use it by intravenous injection?"

"LCL is special."

Dr. Ito explained simply, seemingly to conceal information, but in fact...

Ever since the use of LCL was discovered, people have been accustomed to the simple and crude way of using it by soaking people in it. Until now when she was reminded, she realized that LCL can actually be used through traditional medical methods such as intravenous injection. She responded so simply to hide her embarrassment.

Otherwise, she would definitely explain that LCL needs to be electrolyzed before it can be absorbed through breathing.

No matter how the medical leaders around him thought about it, they couldn't understand why LCL, a special auxiliary drug, had to be used in this way.

Although they had doubts in their hearts, Dr. Ito didn't want to explain and there was nothing they could do, so they just thought that the other party was keeping it a secret.

Of course, no one asked further questions. Another reason was that everyone was more concerned about the official appearance of the protagonist, the neural connection device.

The patient's condition does not require LCL to promote nerve repair. The reason for arranging LCL is that LCL can provide the body with the nutrients it needs for a long time and in a stable manner, and to prevent the patient from suffering from incontinence due to eating and drinking during the experiment, which would force the treatment to be terminated and pave the way for subsequent treatment.

The project team members were being watched by many academic leaders, so they were inevitably a little nervous. It originally only took a dozen minutes to connect the equipment, but now it took a full half an hour to complete.

When Dr. Ito saw this, she frowned but didn't say anything because she was also nervous at the moment.

The attending physician in charge of this treatment also arrived. No... rather than calling him an attending physician, it would be more appropriate to call him a cocoon breaker.

The treatment process is more like using magical power to break the patient's cage than medical treatment.

The attending physician lay in a medical cabin that looked somewhat sci-fi, and waited nervously for the experiment to begin. Of course, her nervousness at the moment was not because of the experiment itself, but because this experiment was different from the past. This time it was related to their future reputation. Although they were only unknown members in the project research and development, they could still gain a lot of benefits from it.

The most obvious benefit is that your mentor will soon be transformed from an expert into a professor. With the identity of a professor's disciple, his status in the academic world will naturally rise in the future.

This is like a person who works hard in an electronics factory from dawn to dusk and suddenly becomes a household subject to demolition.

291. Stuck on the last mission, clear the level 5 times with different destinies, difficulty

"start up--"

Under the command of Dr. Ito, although the team had some problems due to nervousness, it did not affect the treatment.

After the neural connection device was activated, there was no sound, and only the additional indicator light was flashing.

At this moment, the review team all held their breath and looked at the display screen with serious expressions.

There was nothing extraordinary on it. It only showed the physical indicators of both the patient and the attending physician. After the equipment was started, the patient's brain became active at this moment. The review team was shocked at first, and then frowned. All the equipment on the scene was made by Dr. Ito, and they couldn't tell whether the other party was faking it.

Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, no one spoke. They just stood aside and watched quietly, ready to speak after the treatment was over.

This wait lasted two hours.

The attending physician pushed open the medical cabin with a tired look on his face and stood up with the help of others.

There is no physical damage, the fatigue mainly comes from the mental aspect.

Everyone looked at each other, and the person with the highest status in the review team stood up and asked Dr. Ito.

"Dr. Ito, are there any specific requirements for the attending physician for this type of treatment?"

Dr. Ito had long anticipated that the treatment would be questioned as fraudulent, and he had made plans to involve the other party, so he was not surprised at this time.

"No."

Without waiting for the other person to speak, he took the initiative to speak.

"Professor Lemon, if you want to try it, you can do so anytime."

After pondering for a moment and going over the contents of the paper in his mind, Professor Lemon spoke again.

"Will my attempts not cause any harm to the patient?"

"will not."

After hearing this answer, he still hesitated. The paper mentioned a confusing concept of "mind incubation", so he had some concerns in his heart.

He glanced at the journal editor next to him.

The journal editor's scalp tingled, and without Professor Lemon saying anything, he stepped forward.

"Let me observe on behalf of Professor Lemon."

Dr. Ito doesn't care, it would be the same no matter who it is.

Neural connection devices are a black technology that has original data and design drawings, and a group of scholars have been studying for two years but still can't figure it out. It's not something that others can understand after experiencing it once or twice. Of course, apart from this, as long as they are normal adults, even if they are a little older, and don't have diseases such as dementia, they will not encounter any danger when participating in the experiment.

Arriving at the medical bay, the journal editor felt a little nervous.

"What am I going to do now?"

"Just lie down in it."

"Didn't the attending physician wear special attire just now??? Don't I need to change??!"

The reason why the assistant wears special clothing is to reduce the load of liquid breathing on the body. Now the journal editor is just trying it out and naturally will not use LCL for liquid breathing.

"You'll need to wear that outfit for prolonged medical treatment."

The journal editor nodded with a unhappy look on his face, then lay down in the medical cabin, and immediately felt that the surroundings were a little damp.

His expression became strange. Could it be that the attending physician was incontinent?

wrong……

The amount of incontinence cannot be that great.

The inside of the medical cabin is not just damp in a small area, but most of it is damp.

Before he could figure out the secret, he heard Dr. Ito's voice.

"You will be connected to the patient's consciousness in a moment. Don't panic and don't do anything, otherwise it will affect the subsequent treatment."

He responded subconsciously.

"Ah."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the medical cabin closed. The sound of the machinery running and the complete darkness around made him nervous, but the darkness was soon dispelled by the dim light.

Before he could ask himself through the headset what to do, he felt a strange aura lingering in his heart.

Then I felt dizzy again.

His vision distorted slightly, and he found himself in the city, his body driving a car through the city streets.

where is this?

Now...what's going on?

Doctor Ito's voice rang in my ears again.

"You have connected with the patient's consciousness. Well, you can understand it as being in the patient's dream now."

He was a little surprised.

"Dream?"

This situation is not mentioned in the paper.

The Hyacinth Project involves too many new concepts and theories, and many of them seem far-fetched for modern science, especially those related to neural connection devices. In order to avoid his submission being thrown into the trash as waste paper, Dr. Ito naturally had to simplify the more magical things in his submission.

Dr. Ito calmly gave a brief account of the situation.

"Strictly speaking, this is not a real dream. It's just that the situation is similar. I call it a dream just to make it easier for you to understand."

This explanation is given to the journal editor and also to the rest of the review team.

The rest of the review team looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Enter the patient's dream?

Some of them couldn't believe it, but they had to accept it when such an outrageous thing happened before their eyes.

As for the journal editor's collusion with Dr. Ito?

If the other party really had that kind of ability, they wouldn't be here.

"Don't do anything."

Dr. Ito opened his mouth again to give a warning.

The journal editor was so shocked that his mouth went dry and he responded woodenly.

"it is good……"

This was definitely not because the patient was flirting with a beautiful woman in the car. Although there was no physical feedback, this extremely realistic first-person perspective still made him dry his mouth. It was not because he recognized the scene before him... It was the old world that was familiar yet strange. Yes! It was the world that had not yet experienced the second impact.

It took a long time for him to calm down, and an idea flashed through his mind.

This is the inner world of a person, no, is it... a vegetative person?

Feels... so ordinary...

There is no bizarre scene, what appears before your eyes is a simple and plain scene.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked uncertainly.

"The patient cannot wake up because he is still living in a dream?"

"Correct."

After a pause, Dr. Ito spoke again.

"Okay, let's stop here for now."

"Do not--"
