Chapter 136: The Arctic Ocean
"These numbers, I feel like latitude and longitude."
In the middle of the night, the sky was still dark, and in the conference room with a serious atmosphere, Gu Jun said his thoughts to everyone.
When he was a child, he had seen many of his parents' charts, which always had coordinates like this, and he felt that the place in his dreams was a desert island hanging alone in the sea. He remembered that the Seabird went to various places in the sea for scientific research, went to Longkan, and also went to many places, and the target of the search was the desert island?
"I feel like it's the location of that desert island in my dreams." He said.
Chart latitude and longitude? Yao Shinian, Professor Qin and others all changed their expressions, and Gu Jun's "feeling" could not be treated normally.
Until then, the research team had been biased towards these numbers as a kind of countdown, as the order in which they appeared was from large to small.
"I'll immediately ask everyone to focus in this direction and check this weft carefully." Yao Shinian nodded, "The idea of latitude and longitude has been mentioned before, but it is only 74, 31, 12, which is at most a latitude, not enough to form a location. ”
To have a detailed coordinate as here in the Department of Medicine, two lines are required to be accurate to degrees, minutes, and seconds: longitude XX ° XX′ XX 〃 and latitude XX ° XX′ XX 〃
If it is such a large range as "Dongzhou City", the latitude and longitude should be from degrees to degrees: XX°XX′- XX°XX′, XX°XX′- XX°XX′
And you have to figure out whether it is east or west, north or south.
However, the standard format is that positive degrees indicate east and north longitudes, and negative degrees indicate west and south latitudes, with latitude first.
The current set of numbers, if it means "74°31′12 north latitude", this latitude is in the Arctic Ocean......
But without longitude, there is no way to locate a specific location.
In previous research, they had used military satellites to find this entire line of latitude, and there were countless Icelands on it.
"Ah Jun, why do you feel there is no longitude?" Yao Shinian asked.
Gu Jun thought about this question, and a flash of inspiration loomed, "Could it be that Uncle Dog still needs the nightmare disease epidemic to continue to expand before he can tell the longitude?" Uncle Dog said these numbers, does he also need to accumulate strength? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone's faces turned a little colder, and Professor Qin said in a deep voice: "Each group of numbers appears only after at least a thousand patients, and the further you go, the more patients are separated by ......."
Gu Jun's heart sank suddenly, if it was really the latitude and longitude coordinates, how many patients would it take for Uncle Dog to say the other three sets of numbers?
But why does Uncle Dog want to call someone over when he wants to call someone over? Why?
All kinds of problems are hidden under the fog of obscurity, and the clues that may arise take time to give.
It's just that everyone who is busy and lacks sleep now has a deep tiredness, especially Professor Qin and Yao Shinian, the two old men in the sixtieth year, whose swollen and black eye bags are worrying, I really don't know how long I can work at such a high intensity.
After this meeting, Gu Jun was quarantined again after more than a month.
He temporarily lived in a special isolation room in the Psychology Building, and was routinely cut off from communication, and he had to be connected to the line first if he wanted to contact Professor Qin and Tongye. It's not that people can't believe him, it's to prevent him from having an uncontrollable situation of delirium and madness.
Gu Jun lay on the bed in the isolation room, and in a thousand moods, let himself rest and sleep.
……
Three days passed, and the medical department became even busier.
In the middle of the night on the day when Gu Jun was suspected of becoming ill, some patients who were arranged to sleep due to the experiment continued to dream about the nightmare, and the content of the dream was still the same.
The four patients who underwent leukotomy also fell asleep in order to test the effect of the surgery.
However, the mental state of Yang Jianming, a terminal patient, did not improve after the operation, and no one knew whether he fell asleep or dreamed. The next morning, 18 hours after surgery, Yang Jianming died of multiple organ failure.
In the middle stage, Mai Lei still has nightmares, and his condition has not changed.
However, Chen Wenwei and Zou Xinyue, the two early patients, did not have that nightmare again for three consecutive days!
This is a case that has made the research centers everywhere rejoice, and it seems to prove that in the early stages of the patient's illness, by destroying the prefrontal lobe of the patient's brain, it is indeed possible to sever the patient's psychic connection with the mysterious existence on the other side.
Although Chen Wenwei and his wife still have symptoms similar to multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's syndrome, compared with the early stage patients who did not undergo surgery, the progression of their condition slowed down abruptly in three days.
The parapsychology research team on Tongye's side had a hypothesis, "Their souls are not being devoured continuously, it's like the faucet is turned off." However, the lost spirit and atrophied nerves will not be recovered immediately, and it is likely that they will never recover. ”
Another bad situation is that the sequelae of leukotomy are like a shadow, Chen Wenwei and Zou Xinyue both show a severe headache with a tearing sensation that is different from before, and their temperament has also changed significantly, on the one hand, they appear quiet, on the other hand, they are very weird.
Even so, now doctors have at least one chance to treat MSA.
However, there is currently no specific treatment for MSA, which is mainly for autonomic disorders and Parkinsonism.
The average time for MSA patients to progress from the first symptom to the preoperative condition like Chen Wenwei is 2 years, and it only takes 5-7 days for nightmares.
The average time from onset to death of MSA is 9 years, and now it seems that it can last at least another year and a half with the situation of two people after surgery.
"It's a major breakthrough." Professor Qin said to Gu Jun with some relief, "The surgery is effective, which shows that this disease can be treated." ”
It can be cured, and that's what they want.
The Ministry of Medicine is already arranging for a second group of patients to undergo surgery, and the sooner the onset of the disease, the better, but it is still necessary to find a surgical method that can be widely used.
Song Yilong, who collapsed in the first operation, is still in a coma in the intensive care unit after the operation, and such a situation cannot happen again.
Gu Jun spent the past three days in the isolation room, patiently listening to the news that came one by one, and rested to his heart's content. He hadn't had that dream since that day, and there was no clinical manifestation of the disease, which made Tongye and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
New patients are still emerging, but new numbers are yet to be seen.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Gu Jun walked out of the isolation room and ended this isolation.
It's just that he was still in the corridor, and he saw that Tang Zhifeng, the leader of the psychological group who came to take him away, all had heavy faces, and they had a different sadness than before.
"Team Leader Tang, what's wrong?" Gu Jun's heart suddenly protruded, three days were like a lifetime away, did someone have an accident......
At this moment, Peyani's diary flashed through his mind like a ghost.
