Chapter 486: Worthington's 'New Discovery'
Professor Worthington felt that he was really talented, and he never was ashamed of his talent.
Otherwise, he would not have been selected by the White House to become the head of the zombie virus cracking research team. Although because of decision-making mistakes and Wen Ming's framing, he lost his identity as the person in charge, and even went to prison.
But the result?
"You're not going to let me help you save the world?"
In the secret institute set up by the White House in the United States, Professor Worthington is completely free of his former command, not because he treats other colleagues as friends, but because he does not want to suffer another failure before proving himself.
If there had been other experts at the institute who were willing to say good things about him, maybe he wouldn't have been sent to prison.
No one knew that Professor Worthington's mental activity had always been frequent, and that he looked down on the other experts in this institute.
"What's the biggest difference between zombies and humans?"
Speaking to his colleagues at the research conference, Professor Worthington said: "They don't feel physical pain, and even if they cut off their hands, they will attack their targets as they did before." ”
"They don't feel the cold and heat, the zombie island is very close to the magnetic North Pole, the weather there is very cold, the zombie tower that imprisons them, in the past, the temperature has always been around minus 20 degrees, but in that harsh environment, none of them are frozen to death, and none of them will shout that they are cold."
"They don't feel hungry, they don't even need to eat, and when they're not active, it's like an animal hibernating, and their body's energy needs are very low. According to the research data of Zombie Island, it has been confirmed that zombies can remain in that state for up to a year. That is, they will not starve to death for a year. ”
"They can't speak, they only know how to roar, and they don't communicate even with each other......
After talking about the characteristics of the zombies, Professor Worthington asked, "What do you think can be found in these victory traits?" ”
No one answered, because before the other experts could answer, Professor Worthington answered his own question himself.
"There's something wrong with their brains."
Professor Worthington was pleased with the other experts, who listened to his explanation like idiots, and continued: "Everything that a normal human can feel is the nervous tissue of the whole body, which conveys all kinds of touch, including the sensation of body organs, to the human brain. The human brain then processes and analyzes it. ”
"It's like a computer, if you don't have a CPU, you can't handle anything. Naturally, it doesn't consume a single bit of energy when it can't be turned on. ”
"Animal hibernation is simply sleeping, because when sleeping, the human brain activity becomes very small, and the body is no longer active. In this way, the animals do not need to eat and survive the winter on the energy of their own fat layer. ”
After a pause, Professor Worthington continued: "So I think that one of the most important effects of the zombie virus that can turn humans into zombies is the effect of the zombie virus on the human brain. If we can solve the impact of the zombie virus on the human brain, we can make the zombie back into a human being, or, based on this principle, create a drug that can really resist the zombie virus, so that the zombie virus cannot affect the brain of a normal person. ”
"At that time, we will be able to save the human world."
After Professor Worthington finished speaking, he added in his heart: It is not us who saved the world, but I who saved the world.
Other experts are not amazed by this assertion, because they are not stupid, they can be called experts in related fields, and they are organized by the White House, and they can naturally understand these issues.
Moreover, some academic journals have also published similar paper reports.
An expert raised his own question, saying: "The brain is indeed equivalent to the human CPU, and a computer without a CPU cannot be turned on at all, but why is the body able to move a zombie with a broken CPU?" ”
"The activity ability of zombies is not weaker than that of normal humans, which is equivalent to a computer without a CPU, which can not only boot up, but also play the same function as the memory module, graphics card, hard disk and other components on the computer."
"So I think the key point of the problem is not the brain of the zombie, or the zombie virus itself."
Worthington was silent, his face was so calm that no one could see the anger in his heart, so the expert continued.
"It's like a virus in a computer, you can use it, but you can't use it as usual. Hackers who create viruses can take control of their computers completely. Achieve what they want to achieve. ”
"In this case, the only thing we need to do is to completely kill the computer virus and restore our computer to its original state. Instead of repairing the computer's CPU, even if we replace the computer's CPU, as long as the virus is still there, the computer will still be controlled by hackers. ”
This assertion was agreed by the vast majority of people present, and the root cause of the problem, that is, the zombie virus itself, is the current research direction of research institutions in countries and major enterprises around the world.
Professor Worthington's statement does not involve the zombie virus itself, so it is difficult for them to agree.
Taking a deep breath slowly, Worthington forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and he thought about what he would have done in this situation before.
The experts who do not agree with them are expelled, and the remaining experts are forcibly allowed to conduct various experiments and research according to their own research directions.
But what will be the result?
These people will do their best to slow down their research, and even make their own small reports, so that they will once again lose the opportunity to save the world and become the savior.
Thinking of this, Professor Worthington actually laughed, and then began to explain to these experts whom he looked down on at all.
"You should know about Alzheimer's disease, because there is a problem with the brain, so people with this disease will have severe memory loss and will not be able to handle things properly."
"They don't know the people closest to them, they forget that they've just eaten, they can't find where their home is. They don't know how to drive, they can't go to public transportation on their own, they can't handle relationships, work ...... normal."
Professor Worthington paused and raised his voice: "However, their bodily functions are completely normal. They can walk, sit, lie down and even run, and they are exactly like people who are not sick. ”
"Don't you think zombies are very similar to people with Alzheimer's disease? However, the symptoms caused by the zombie virus are more severe than those caused by Alzheimer's disease, and there is no difference between them in terms of mechanistic manifestation. ”
This is the first time other experts have heard this statement, and some agree with it, so they are very serious about listening to Professor Worthington's next insight.
Worthington noticed the expressions of the other experts, sneered in his heart, and continued: "Why do I need so many orangutans, because the brains of orangutans are very similar to humans, and they can even be said to be exactly the same. ”
"Why do you need the same brain as a human? Because orangutans, which have a lower level of intelligence than humans, will be more severe when they have Alzheimer's disease than humans when they have this disease. ”
"In other words, as long as we solve Alzheimer's disease, we will be able to prevent humans from being turned into zombies by the zombie virus."
Professor Worthington was very proud of his summary and thoughts, and he was able to come up with ideas that none of these experts could come up with, just because he had been analyzing Wen Ming.
Wen Ming bought a lot of orangutans, and Wen Ming was interested in all the research institutes that study Alzheimer's disease. Even, during this period, three research institutes for the study of Alzheimer's disease were acquired.
Only this, Professor Worthington felt that he had found Wen Ming's research direction, and he wanted to plagiarize this research direction, and he had to produce research results one step faster than Wen Ming.
But just when Professor Worthington was very proud, the expert who had raised the question before said: "Professor Worthington, you still can't save those zombies with this kind of statement." At most, it allows us to find a vaccine against the zombie virus. ”
Hearing this, Worthington felt that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Do you want to go crazy?
