Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 909 Compound No.

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 would be greatly reduced.
So Zhou Rui took the initiative to ask: "You have been looking at me? Is there anything you want to ask?"

Marcus felt that his thoughts were too confusing, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just think you look familiar?"

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

Marcus explained: "'Familiarity' is not only affected by memory, but also by associative ability and geometric sensitivity. For example, people with face blindness will not be able to construct associations even if they have detailed memories."

Although the reason was randomly chosen, the explanation was sound.

Zhou Rui touched his chin and said, "Your thinking is too clear to be someone who has just woken up."

Marcus smiled and said, "I don't feel like an old man. I haven't felt that way for a long time."

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

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

----

Marcus woke up and changed from an Alzheimer's patient to a hyperthymesia contestant.

This news is undoubtedly extremely shocking.

So much so that those doctors who were not qualified to enter the operating room felt that they had wasted all those years of reading medical books after learning about it.

It turns out that studying medicine cannot save the Chinese people!

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

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

Except for some items that require long-term observation, based on Marcus's condition at the time, the consultation results are probably just as he judged.

The signs of "Alzheimer's disease" disappeared, the characteristics of "hyperthymesia" were obvious, and there were no side effects.

His mental activity increased significantly, and all neurological assessments and EEG interpretations pointed to one result: Marcus' brain seemed to have been reborn.

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

Except for the content related to "Compound No. 1", he was involved in all others.

He attended a meeting 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 of ability.

A scientist's experience and cognition will gradually increase over time, but his creativity and thinking ability will gradually decline.

Just imagine how it feels for a 60-year-old top five brain science expert in the world to have the brain power of his 20-year-old peak and possess a peculiar symptom called "hyperthymesia", which allows him to call up his life experiences at any time without missing any memories.

His intelligence, thinking ability, and memory are all at their peak. His experience covers about forty to fifty years, which can be said to be extremely terrifying. Even his ability to control his limbs affected by his nerves is stronger than before.

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

This unexpected treatment has resulted in Marcus’ current outrageous condition, and what it represents is even more significant.

1. Alzheimer's disease has been cured.

2. It is possible to stably create patients with hyperthymesia without any side effects.

No matter which one, as long as the principle is clarified in reverse, it will definitely be a Nobel Prize-level blockbuster achievement, which will raise human understanding of the brain 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 his nerve and brain problems required more external stimulation, it was not appropriate for him to stay in the monotonous ICU for a long time, so Marcus was transferred to a regular single room.

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

"Bed 21 blood drawing"

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

"Sorry, my granddaughter is a light sleeper."

In the past few days, he has been undergoing intensive examinations, including blood draws, punctures, and MRIs. The only thing missing is a "brain biopsy."

However, he understands this very well. If he were a doctor or a pharmaceutical company, he would probably do something even more excessive.

In fact, he is indeed studying himself.

Half an hour after I finished drawing blood, several people in white coats came in. They should be conducting the final ward rounds.

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: Lu Xubo" in the crowd.

I have met this person several times in the past two days, but every time, just like the previous times, I would have an inexplicable feeling of "closeness, trust, and conviction".

Just like his "super memory state" did not fade with time, this feeling seemed to be completely engraved in his mind and could not be reversed.

While he was puzzled by this, he did not particularly resist it, or could not resist it.
Zhang Biao was still in charge of the ward rounds, asking about many progress, and finally told Marcus to rest early today because 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, while others didn’t.

Zhou Rui did not refuse and nodded: "Okay, do you need to go to the communication room?"

"No, just in the corridor."

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

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

Marcus took the initiative and said, "Should I call you Mr. Lu or Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised. He just said calmly: "What is the basis for your judgment?"

Marcus pinched his hand and used the nail of his thumb to pick up the other four fingers in turn. This was a habit he had for many years, and he used it to check the length and cleanliness of his nails at all times.

He had forgotten this habit once, but now he remembered it.

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

"I was already ill when you became famous, but my hyperthymesia still allowed me to retrieve your face and some of your deeds. I couldn't connect the dots at first, but once I figured it out, I realized that this was Master Zhou himself~"

It is not uncommon for Zhou Rui's "second image" disguise to be exposed. This ability only works on strangers, and is effective on acquaintances but not for long.

But this is the first time that someone who didn't know him could figure it out simply through analysis.

Something.

Zhou Rui was 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 have been speculations from the outside world, and I have also checked a lot of information today, I still want to confirm with you in person. Are you the inventor of 'Compound No. 1'?"

After saying this, Marcus stared at Zhou Rui with sharp eyes.

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Yes, Compound No. 1 was made by me."

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

He has not studied "micro-expressions", but he recently discovered a new use of "hypersencia", which is that the mind can remember a "momentary" reaction in great detail.

As long as you replay your subconscious behavior over and over again, and then use the life experience you have accumulated over the past sixty years, you can pretty much judge the other person's "true thoughts."

Just like watching a video of facial expressions over and over again, even without any knowledge of micro-expressions, you can still discover a lot of things based on your instinct.

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

Zhou Rui: "You're too kind. 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 one request of mine first..."

Zhou Rui smiled and shook his head: "I don't really like discussing the results with unknown conditions."

Marcus looked away and looked down the long corridor.

The lights at the end were off, making the corridor seem endless, just like Marcus' thoughts.
Well. Actually, Linto was standing in the darkness, but Marcus' eyes didn't change and he didn't see anything.

Marcus said leisurely:

"I believe you are very clear about my current condition. I have hyperthymesia, my brain has regained its youthfulness, my limb control ability has been enhanced, 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 am going to say next, you will find that the cure for Alzheimer's disease is just a supporting role."

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

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

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

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

"The commercial value behind this. No, commercial value is not enough to describe it. It should be said that it has a huge significance for human progress. It is simply immeasurable!"

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

He believed that no matter whether Master Zhou was a scientist or an entrepreneur, he could not resist this temptation.

And my small request will be agreed to naturally.
"As long as you agree, let me."

Suddenly, Zhou Rui spoke something.

"TDX-42 protein, right?"

Marcus froze and looked at Zhou Rui in shock.

Zhou Rui's smile is unpredictable.

When smart people clash, there are also differences in superiority and inferiority
