Chapter 2 Top Advantage
Half a year later, in the courtyard of a villa in the town, three babies wearing only diapers competed on the grass to see who could climb faster. A little baby with black hair takes the lead and climbs in front, and this little guy is our little Leo.
The little baby crawling in the middle, with chestnut hair and snow-white smooth skin, was staring at Leo in front of him with big blue eyes, and speeding up in the hope that he could surpass Leo faster.
Behind them was a little baby with blonde hair and dark blue eyes, his eyes at this time showed an anxious look, and his mouth shouted: "Slow down, I can't keep up, ouch!" Accidentally, he didn't control his body and fell on a big horse, this little baby was Leo's younger brother Mason.
Leo was the first to reach the finish line, shouting, "Haha, I won again, ouch", and he stood up happily, but he still couldn't control his big head, and fell on the grass again.
Leo looked at the second baby who reached the finish line and said, "Anna, you are climbing faster and faster, and you are about to catch up with me." ”
"It's not that you're not as fast as you, and when I'm faster than you, I want your snacks for the day," Anna said angrily.
"Then let's wait until you win against me first, next time we won't climb, next time we will run," Leo said with a grin.
"You're fooling, it's up to you to do everything, you learn to climb before us, you have to compete with us, when you learn to run first, you have to compete with us to run, no, I can't listen to you, next time I will climb, I will definitely win!" Anna said unhappily, and crawled to Mason, to get back the confidence she had lost from Leo in Mason.
"Okay, listen to you, but you have to give me this snack first," he said, standing up, and with great difficulty walked to the little girl who was sitting quietly on the other side of the grass.
The little girl has long black hair, typical oriental women's facial features, willow leaf curved eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes are clear and transparent, black eyes are as deep as Tan, and red and white lips are as sweet and lovely as cherries. The little girl looked to be four or five years old, sitting quietly in a chair and reading the book in her hand.
Leo walked over to the girl and said, "Sister Lan, I won Anna again, give me her morning snacks." The girl looked up at Leo and said, "You bully Anna again, and cheat on her snacks, you say that she is about to surpass you every time, but you are faster than her every time, this time I will give you half, she will have no strength if she doesn't eat snacks in the morning." After saying that, he took out a bag and gave half of it to Leo, who did not show displeasure, but said with a wicked smile: "If she doesn't think she can surpass me, she won't play with me next time, so how can I still eat her snacks?
In fact, the snack they are talking about is a special nutritional supplement suitable for children under the age of three, because their heads are large, and the energy provided by the body to the brain is not enough for the brain to function properly. Therefore, it is necessary to provide more energy to the body, so babies under the age of three rely on this snack to provide energy. Leo had cheated many snacks from both Mason and Anna, but he said he had earned them.
Once, Leo tricked Mason into all the snacks for the day, and in the end, Mason didn't even have the strength to sit, and it was Merilin who found out that Mason was wrong, and only then did he know that Leo did it. Merrylin not only took back all the snacks Mason had lost, but also gave the rest of Leo himself to Mason. So after that time, Leo learned the truth that he couldn't dry up and fish, so he no longer deceived Mason alone, he cheated two if he wanted to cheat, and only half of it was won if he won, so that no adult would take care of it.
In the past six months, Merelin's Christmas premonition has really become a reality, and every day Leo and Mason, two naughty ghosts, have turned over everything they can get at home and tinkered with. Once she was slotting milk all over her body, and another time she was pouring flour on the ground and then pouring water on it, but soon both of them ended up stuck to the floor and couldn't move, so they had to wait for her to come to her rescue.
In fact, these were Leo's ideas, but he always dragged Mason with him, so every time Merilin could only help them clean up, but did not punish them. In the past six months, Merielin has sent several videos of Leo to China, and when the Li family saw Leo's eccentric appearance, they were also relieved.
During this period, Merilin and the others moved to the side of Anna and Xiaolan's house, because the doctor said, "They are all slower in physical development, so it is easy to observe together." In addition to these two villas, there are two other houses next to each other, and there are eight of them in total.
The youngest is Mason who is just one year old, and the eldest is Robert who is more than 7 years old this year, and they all have a common feature that their heads are disproportionate to their bodies. The body is the same as their actual age, but the head is at least 3 or 4 years earlier than the body, and they are relatively special among the children in the whole town, so usually other children are not willing to play with them, it is better to put them together and play together.
Dr. Lucas was a professor of cell biology at Harvard Medical School when he was recruited to participate in the brain development program. At first, he was the main person in charge of the project, and later the U.S. military stepped in and carried out military management of the entire project, and the main person in charge was changed to a military biologist. Due to the divergence in the direction of the development of the project, Dr. Lucas was gradually marginalized and was only responsible for part of the research. But he was very confident in his research direction, so he secretly conducted his own experiments with his friends in the military, Greon and Merelin.
In fact, there are about 14 billion ~ 15 billion brain cells in a normal human brain, but less than 10% are exploited, and most of the rest are dormant. The focus of military biologists is to wake up brain cells in a dormant state through drugs during the child's developmental stage, and then keep the brain cells active through continuous drug stimulation. As a result, the early brain development effect of children who receive military drugs is very significant, and the intelligence can surpass that of ordinary adults at the age of three, the degree of brain development can reach about 20% at the age of six, and the peak can reach up to 30% at the age of nine. But after the age of nine, because the body's energy is not enough to supply the needs of the brain, the activity of brain cells will decrease, and as we age, the degree of brain development will stay at about 20% in the best case, and even then the people who are developed are not only described as geniuses, with an IQ of up to 500, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are superhuman.
But Dr. Lucas believes there is a better solution, arguing that there are several problems with the military's theory that have not been solved or simply ignored. First, the number of brain cells that are awakened, and the stimulation of brain cells with the most effective drugs at present can only reach 30%, and even if it is stimulated, it will not be able to wake up. Second, although the weight of the human brain only accounts for 2% of the weight of the human body, it consumes about 25% of the oxygen and energy in the human blood.
Dr. Lucas thinks that it is unreasonable for normal people to develop about 10% of the brain, and if only 10% is developed, then the remaining 90% can be dispensed with, the answer is, of course, no. Even a little damage to the human brain will cause irreversible consequences, which means that the human brain cells are not only 10%, but 100%, but the active part that can be controlled only accounts for 10%, so what Dr. Lucas needs to do is not to make the inactive 90% active all at once, but to gradually get in touch with the 90% through the 10% and control them.
At present, the biggest problem is the problem of energy supply, and the normal development of the human body is carried out in an all-round way, and energy is needed for every part. But the brain develops first, and it gets the most energy at the beginning, but as the body grows, the body will compete with the brain for more energy, and the energy required by the brain will be reduced, so the brain activity of children who have been modified by the military will decline after the age of 9.
And what Dr. Lucas did first was to expand the brain capacity, so that the development of the brain has always been before the body, so that the whole human body can form a top advantage of the brain. This means that the brain always gets the most energy first, and then lets the brain control the development of the body. Under the control of the brain, a body that can provide more energy to the brain will develop, so that the brain activity level will continue to increase, and eventually become a real superman.
So Dr. Lucas is very interested in the brain's ability to dominate the body, and all eight of these children have this condition, and these children are developing the same as Dr. Lucas expected, which also proves that his hypothesis is correct, maybe these little ones will really become superhuman when they grow up.
At this stage, the intellectual development of Leo and the others is still secondary, mainly to train them to control their own body, and the daily intake of brain energy is very important, so snacks cannot be missing. This is the happiest thing for Leo and them, these snacks are nutritious and delicious, and they don't leave their hands every day.
Leo, Anna, and Mason play on the grass every day, except for a certain amount of body control training, and the three of them are inseparable every day, and this time Xiaolan is reading a book or practicing the gymnastics that was tailored for them.
This set of gymnastics was completed by Grein and Dr. Grace and Dr. Grace based on Chinese Tai Chi, combined with the breathing method of yoga, and added some other physical techniques. It takes 30-60 minutes to do this set of gymnastics, it can exercise every muscle and bone of the body evenly, this set of gymnastics is for the best special forces in the town to do, and he can't do it perfectly. Because this requires the brain to control the body to achieve incomparably precision, which can not only improve the quality of the body, let the body develop in a balanced manner, but also improve the brain's ability to control the body.
So the doctor asked Ran and their older children to do it at least twice a day. Leo and the three of them watched quietly every time they saw Xiaolan doing exercises, because when Xiaolan was doing this exercise, the whole person had a feeling of being integrated into nature, which could make several people who watched Xiaolan do exercises calm and peaceful.
According to the arrangement of the military, the three of them will start teaching their mother tongue in a few months, and this mother tongue teaching is not only to learn one, but to learn English, Chinese, Russian, French, and German together, so that they can master these five as naturally and fluently as their mother tongue. Of course, it is very easy for children trained by the military, because their brains develop much faster in the early stage, their intelligence is super high, and their receptivity is also strong, and they can basically reach the level of using these five languages as their mother tongue before the age of three.
But Leo and they can't, before the age of three, the brain activity can reach 12%, even if it is fast, because their brains are expanding their capacity in the early stage, so learning is much slower. Like Xiaolan, she is already studying very seriously, she is more than 4 years old this year, and she always confuses these five languages.
When studying other courses together, they always receive some slightly mocking glances, although they can't say it, but they are always far away from them in action, Xiaolan and they are also very helpless, so they can only get together a few of them. According to Dr. Lucas's prediction, this gap will get smaller and smaller, and by the age of 12 or so, they will be the same as them, and as they grow older, Xiaolan will not only surpass those children trained by the military, but also pull further and further.
But he never told Xiaolan these words, because he didn't know exactly when he would catch up, and if he told them, it might limit their development, and no one knew to what extent in the future, but the doctor knew that their future would be unimaginable.
