1412 The Gap Between Delusion and Reality 2
The shadow of the end of the world is approaching, the shadow of the end of the hospital has taken shape, and Dr. Nguyen Le does not know how many researchers in this hospital have suffered from doomsday syndrome like himself. It should be more than one, but like himself, he hid the condition as much as possible, and the hospital is not ignorant of such a situation, after all, this is a terminal illness, no matter how it is hidden, the impact of the deterioration of the condition will definitely be detected by outsiders, if there is no hospital to clean up the mess in advance and hide the information, rumors about this kind of situation should spread everywhere.
However, in terms of Dr. Nguyen's own experience, if he had not suffered from doomsday syndrome himself, it would have been difficult to detect these conditions that could be concealed by the people involved. Whether it is risk control, information management itself has the purpose of strengthening the ability to resist stress, and in short, researchers who become patients with doomsday syndrome may be treated differently from other ordinary patients.
This feeling of despair and oppression before the complete inability to work can instead dedicate the researcher to intimate trials, which are also converted into hospital information after the researcher's death.
Dr. Hawke's condition can also be seen as somewhat typical.
The hospital is quite dark, and many secrets are carried out under the noses of the ignorant, and these secrets are hidden by larger intimacy, and if you are just a healthy ordinary person, you may feel disgusted by such a living situation, but it is not until you are infected with the "virus" that you can understand that this is a helpless thing.
The worst enemy of any patient with doomsday syndrome, whether ordinary or researcher, is not the sinister human heart. Rather, it is the "virus" itself. The sinister human heart may cause a threat to life, but it may not be, the restrictions and requirements of the environment for everyone are relatively fair, but as long as you adapt, you can be like a fish in water. You can live well. However, the "virus" is different, as long as it is replaced with doomsday syndrome, no matter how outstanding the identity and ability are, they will inevitably suffer the pain of alienation and eventual death. It is equally fair, however, this fairness only makes people feel the fear that has nowhere to vent.
Dr. Nguyen Le has experienced first-hand the pressure of this despair and fear, even when she was a normal person, even if she studied psychology. Nor can I delve into the depths. Now in the face of patients, she can clearly hear the crazy screams of each patient in the depths of their hearts.
This despair, fear, and madness is so contagious that there are very few people who can turn this tremendous pressure into motivation. Dr. Nguyen Le is one of them.
With an efficiency that surprised even herself, she completed and corrected the experimental project "Deepest Night" left behind by Dr. Hawke. She wanted to see what Dr. Hawke had mentioned in his theoretical hypothesis as a possible consequence—the power of the human body that had evolved to this point, which had been accumulated for thousands of years. It is considered a "useless factor" today under certain circumstances. What kind of explosive power will be stimulated to allow the multifactorial structure of "man" to continue to evolve, adapt and ultimately survive.
"Deepest Night" is not to strengthen the immune mechanism through drugs, nor to tinker with the sick human body through drugs, but not to change the body's genes. Rather, from a deeper level, through drug stimulation, the survival and adaptability of the body's complex factor structure is liberated. In order to contribute to large-scale evolution or mutation in a short period of time. This approach is completely outside the realm of psychology, but Dr. Hawke's research has never stopped at psychology, and he is also an expert in biology, a cutting-edge researcher who deeply connects biology and psychology.
As a disciple of Dr. Hawke. Although Dr. Nguyen Le has always been doing pure psychotherapy, his knowledge is certainly not limited to psychology.
Dr. Nguyen Le knows how uncontrollable this way of stimulating the human body with drugs to bring about dramatic change in a short period of time is even more rare. However, the question is not how feasible it is to do this spontaneous change of the human body, but rather that it is the most likely way to find a breakthrough for the time being. Even if the odds are only 1 in 1,000, it's better than doing nothing and having nowhere to start.
Whether it is a hospital or the world, the detection of the activity of the "virus" has proved that the era of mankind is on the verge of life and death, and there is not enough time to find the answer to the "virus" in a more relaxed, safer and more humane way.
No one is sure when the outbreak of the "virus" will be, on what scale, and what the final outcome will be. Just a little imagination can make people feel bitter. And it is this kind of unknown that makes people feel that great difficulties are coming, and it is difficult to face them calmly.
Something must be done -- this idea is an important reason for the restless atmosphere in the hospital today.
Although Dr. Ruan Li did not witness it with his own eyes, he can imagine that there are more people in the same situation who are doing their best, and it can even be said that they are hysterically trying to overcome the hypotheses they put forward and the hypotheses put forward by others, and race against time to seek a chance to survive. Between people, it is possible to compromise and be convinced, but in the face of the "virus", there is no such opportunity.
What are the others, the people they don't know, doing? What do the proponents of the hospital think of the current state of the hospital and the obvious apocalyptic view of the world? Dr. Nguyen Le couldn't help but think of this before the official launch of the "Deepest Night" trial.
But, of course, she didn't get an answer. The world is very vast, but her world is only in the hospital on this isolated island. In this tower that stands on the island, in the experimental chamber where these "Takagawa clones" are stored, in this local area network built based on the color center, and in the data flowing in this local area network that describes the physical and mental states of the "Takakawa clones".
The so-called Takakawa clones used to complete the "Deepest Night" trial were kept in the hands of Dr. Hawke while he was still alive, and the specific provider was unknown, but it was always transferred to him under the name of the hospital and signed by Dr. Ender. Now the remaining 24 bodies have all been handed over to Dr. Ruan Li, and then in the preparation for the trial, they have been successively increased to 34 bodies.
Who created so many "Takakawa clones" and how they blocked their information to this day, there is no need to get to the bottom of it. Because. Judging from the results, if the "Takakawa clone" did not even exist, many of the current experiments would not have been carried out after Takakawa himself died, in other words, even if it was a precautionary measure, the act of creating the "Takakawa clone" would still be correct.
Even if it is emotionally uncomfortable, it may be an ethical blasphemy for Takakawa himself. However, I have to admit it rationally and have to accept it.
Dr. Nguyen Le had mixed feelings, however, she quickly put these distractions aside. On this day, she was the only one in the laboratory, and on the surface, she was the only one who participated in the observation of this "deepest night", as for how many people actually knew. It didn't matter, she had to do her part. Just like the dead Dr. Hawke. Such a terrible opponent as the "virus" cannot be dealt with by oneself. At the same time, Dr. Ruan Li, who has a certain understanding of Dr. Ander's team and the team of lurkers, knows very well that even if researchers from all hospitals are gathered, the progress of research is still hazy. However, this is an opponent that has to be defeated, so even if your own work cannot be a crucial step, it is better to just add bricks. Dr. Nguyen Le is ready for this.
She hoped that a miracle would happen in this experiment.
Dr. Nguyen Li took a deep breath and left the window, the alloy curtain lowered, sealing the entire laboratory. At this point, Dr. Nguyen Le is in isolation, and it is expected that in about a week or so, the trial will come to a result - whether it is a success or a failure - and collect enough data.
"Doomsday Fantasy System Quarantine Confirmation." Dr. Nguyen Le said into the microphone.
"Simulator import, quarantine confirmation." The voice that came back was an electronic girl's voice. Dr. Nguyen Le already knows that the owner of this voice is the "color center".
"The LAN is restarted, all the old information is deleted, new coefficients are imported, and the formula is ......" Dr. Ruan Li hesitated for a moment and said, "The formula enables the Third Amendment, and at the same time activates the relevant records of the Night. ”
"In the restart of the domain, the new coefficient is imported - the setting is completed, and the full formula of the third amendment is imported." The voice of the color center came: "Please confirm the script, Dr. Nguyen Li." ”
"No need to confirm it." Dr. Nguyen Li said: "I don't know what scripts are not scripted at all, it is not my job, if there is a problem, record it and pass it on to the person in charge." ”
"Confirm." The color-center's voice replied in an emotionless voice. After that, all the equipment in the laboratory lit up the indicator lights one by one, and the wind brought by the operation made the laboratory no longer calm, and the thermometer on the side rose by five degrees in less than a minute.
A little depressed, Dr. Ruan Li pulled his neckline, and then simply unbuttoned his chest. She sat down in her chair and pulled out her cigarette.
"Is it okay to smoke?" It was as if she was talking to herself.
"Yes." The color center answered, but Dr. Ruan Li frowned, as if she was not expecting the color center's answer.
"You can smoke?" Dr. Nguyen Li smiled sarcastically, but lit the cigarette neatly. She knew very well that some of the things she was doing at this time were completely contrary to laboratory norms. However, the night is not a normal experiment, and all external factors, including the person who stands here, makes certain movements, smokes, may have an effect, and then lead to different results—but whether such different results are good or bad cannot be judged at all.
The test in the middle of the night, of course, is not the more influence of such external factors, the better, so the whole laboratory is closed. However, it is not necessary to ensure that there are no external factors that affect it, so no matter what Dr. Nguyen Li wants to do during his time in the laboratory, there is no problem. Even if she suddenly opened the experiment chamber and killed a few Takakawa clones, it would only be considered part of the "environmental factor".
Dr. Nguyen Le is very aware of these things, so he does not have the idea of "doing whatever he wants".
"Is the color center still there?" She asked suddenly.
No response.
"Gao Chuan is dead, you have become like this, don't you have resentment in your heart? What do you think when you see these Takakawa clones? Dr. Nguyen Li took a few puffs of his cigarette and suddenly asked.
"There is no idea, because, Takakawa is not dead." The response of the color center, Dr. Ruan Li's fingers paused.
"Didn't there die? It's really a sentimental statement, color, you are really alive. Dr. Nguyen Le said, "However, if you just dwell on the past, you can't see the future clearly. Takakawa is dead, and this test was conducted based on this premise. ”
The color center did not respond. After that, Dr. Nguyen Li said some more things, and there was no lack of deliberately irritating words, but the color center seemed to have completely left.
Dr. Nguyen Li fell silent, twisted the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said into the microphone: "The last self-test, after confirming that it is correct, it will be separated from the color center." ”
"Self-test starts...... The self-test is completed, the confirmation is correct, and the color system center begins to be detached. The voice of the color center sounded, paused, and seemed to add a sentence of its own: "Good luck, Dr. Nguyen Li." ”
Good luck? Dr. Ruan Li smiled, and this time, the laboratory was completely silent. Soon after, the sound of the machine operation became louder and louder, the flashing of the indicator lights became more and more frequent, all the display screens were opened, and the windows and text were constantly opened and disappeared. This data rises from one fixed screen, from the bottom, and then falls from the top to the bottom on another. All data is composed of recognizable data codes and unverifiable garbled characters.
Dr. Nguyen is well aware that as the work progresses, garbled characters will increase in the overall data volume. In a sense, it's the gibberish that is the most valuable thing.
The colorful lights make the whole laboratory weird and mysterious. Dr. Nguyen Li lay quietly in her chair, the blurry light on her face, making her expression blurry.
Suddenly, she coughed a few times, and she seemed to hear something, but there should be no one other than herself in this laboratory.
She turned her gaze slightly, but there was a feeling that someone was flashing from behind. She looked at it suddenly, but found nothing.
Auditory hallucinations and hallucinations? Dr. Ruan Li thought to himself, is the effect of the first tube of inhibitors not enough to suppress the deterioration of the condition? (To be continued......)
