2074 Hope
Dr. Ander examined the contents of Takakawa's notes intently and eagerly, closing them from time to time, pondering silently, and then opening the notes again to flip through the parts he had already read, trying to dig deeper into the content. "Gao Chuan" uses the style of an adventure story to record his experience in the apocalyptic fantasy, because of his own mental problems, as well as the absurdity and bizarre events he experienced, most of the stories are full of conscious factors, like the whims and babbling of a mentally ill person, the use of words and sentences is cumbersome and cumbersome, and the background of the near end is even darker and heavier. It's not a likable story, but aside from the embellishments, it gives a sense of the truth that he himself and what happened to him.
The content of the story in this notebook is closely related to what has happened in the isolated island hospital, not only the story of "Takakawa" himself, but also the story of more patients with doomsday syndrome.
Dr. Ender did not read this notebook for amusement, not to relieve the stresses of life, and as a result, the shortcomings of the story itself, which were enough to make the average reader resist, were in his eyes the strengths. Those dizzying narratives made him feel more aware of the evolution of the state of "Gao Chuan" and even other patients with doomsday syndrome.
There are many questions that "Takakawa" himself has asked in the content of the story, with the help of the first-person protagonist "I" and the third-person protagonist "Takakawa", and he has also given many guesses. And these questions and answers also have a high reference value for Dr. Ender.
Dr. Ander has a fairly clear understanding that the "I" and "Takakawa" mentioned in this notebook are not portrayals of the real Takakawa himself, but a decorative corner of his mental activity. There are at least three "Takakawa" embodied in the entire note: Takakawa himself, who is the author of this note, the "I" that Takakawa brings into it, and the "Takakawa" who is fabricated from the perspective of a third party. These three Takakawas all represent the mental state and thinking veins of "Takakawa" in different personality consciousness activities, and are a manifestation of their id, ego and superego.
Perhaps the content of this notebook will only be limited to the surface of the story, but Dr. Ander, who is also a patient with doomsday syndrome, can feel more deeply what "Takakawa" wants to say with the help of this notebook - those things that even he can't understand, or can no longer understand.
Even Dr. Ander sometimes feels that if he hadn't been infected with doomsday syndrome himself, he might not be able to resonate with his notes. He could also imagine why other researchers, such as Dr. Nguyen Le and her mentor, who had become eccentric after contracting Doomsday Syndrome, had done the unbelievable act that was not just a kind of madness that knew it was going to be imminent.
However, all people with doomsday syndrome must face the grim fact that when they seem to understand doomsday syndrome better than they used to, they are already in a desperate situation.
Dr. Ander felt that this notebook had allowed him to break through the limitations of his vision and thinking, and seemed to have the ability to do more, but he did not have a more specific and detailed outline to really explain what he could do. He was distressed by this, and a heavier pain and despair gradually permeated his heart. As a human being, if you don't have the tools and the idea to do everything, you can't do anything, even if you have the motivation and ability to do things.
In such distress, Dr. Ender's mind, which had never been able to concentrate on one thing, suddenly had such an idea. He suddenly realized that what he really needed might not be directly related to the content of the note, and he should jump out of the appearance of the content of the story and start directly from the existence of the notebook.
Why was "Takakawa" able to write this notebook? Why is this the content? What is the relationship between his experience in the apocalyptic vision, his mental changes in this wonderful activity, and the physical changes in the process? Dr. Ender couldn't stop his thoughts from swelling, but he could still force himself to close the notes and stop paying attention to the contents, even if he hadn't read them all.
Dr. Ander had long had the idea of "downloading" the personality information from the LCL into the "artificial new body" due to the theoretical concept of the "Human Completion Project", and specifically, the Takakawa clone was also the result of some empirical evidence of this theoretical concept, but it was necessary to overcome many hurdles to fully turn the theory into reality. Ensuring that the end result is controllable is even more difficult. However, the existence of "Gao Chuan's Diary" made him feel that another part of the difficulties had been crossed.
"There is still hope, there must be hope...... Dr. Ender told himself, trying to convince himself that the "hope" he wanted to believe in was also the reason why "Takakawa" never gave up.
When Dr. Ender closed the note again, he had a violent urge to immediately return to the color center and operate on those circulating LCLs, although the specific methods were still very vague, and the theory was full of loopholes, and it seemed that he could never fill them, but that impulse made him feel that even if he didn't prepare in advance, as long as he got to that place, he would naturally be able to do what he wanted to do: by manipulating the personality information in the LCL, Reverse turns a part of the LCL back to the human state, and in the process, the human completion plan is applied to create a "perfect person" that only exists in theory, and the best experimental object of this reverse experiment is undoubtedly still "Gao Chuan".
Dr. Ander couldn't tell why he had such an impulse, but the origin of this idea was logical to him, not inexplicable, and he had already laid the groundwork for it when he tried to complete the theory of "human completion plan". Even if you don't become a doomsday syndrome patient, you will do it yourself, but it is only a matter of time before you become a doomsday syndrome patient - now, you can no longer wait for the theory to be perfected.
The more Dr. Ender realized that he could do this, the stronger the urge to do it. He stood up and paced back and forth around the table, feeling as excited and dizzy as if he had been drugged, making him want to leave the place immediately with Takakawa's legacy. There was nothing in the darkness, only tables and chairs, and lights, and such a humble environment was no longer enough for him to calm his increasingly agitated emotions. However, on the other hand, he also realized that his state was not normal, and this was not the thinking and mindset that a serious and serious researcher should have. However, just like being addicted to drugs, even if reason feels that it is not good, it cannot stop the impulse that is like an instinctive reaction.
He felt that his brain was spinning faster and faster, that so much of what he knew was being stitched together like never before, almost the truth, and all the pressure was forcing himself to believe that he really had the pulse of the final victory.
"Takakawa...... It has to be Takakawa......" he muttered to himself, even if he didn't have a specific idea, and he wasn't sure what he should do first and then on the spot, he still couldn't stop him from muttering like this, "It must be like this, Super Takakawa." Only by downloading and reconstructing Gao Chuan's information first to verify the feasibility of the human completion plan can we reverse the essence of the doomsday syndrome from the reconstructed Gao Chuan and reverse analyze the 'virus'...... Yes, it must be so. Without Takakawa, all theories would lack the carrier of practice. ”
- Super Takakawa Plan, yes, this is the Super Takakawa Plan, and the birth of Super Takakawa must be used to prove the existing theories in the past, find out the right parts, and eliminate the wrong parts. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
The urge to do so was so strong that Dr. Ander couldn't help but imagine the benefits that the success of the Super Takagawa project would bring to the research, and he couldn't count the benefits, but felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Even, he felt that as long as he completed the "Super Takakawa" that only existed in his mind now, he would be able to make better special drugs from subsequent research, and even an effective serum for the individual patient with "Takakawa", a patient with doomsday syndrome. In the future, the results achieved in the case of "Takakawa" will be able to reach its audience. Only in this way can the looming crisis be truly resolved, or at least suspended.
As if he thought of it himself, and as if he was reminded by some psychedelic voice, he further realized that there were some clues of disharmony in the past performance of the color center, and as long as it was linked to Dorothy, a missing patient, more possibilities could be generated, and in these conceivable possibilities, Dorothy became the same existence as the color center, and the possibility of joining forces with the color center to promote the birth of "Super Takakawa" was even more inexplicably convincing to himself.
Although there is no evidence, this logic exists, and the possibility exists. Although there are other possibilities, the more Dr. Ender thinks about it, the more he believes that the "Super Takakawa Project" can be successful, and feels that he has been pushed long before he realizes it, and he just "didn't know it yet" in the past.
- It was the Chroma Center that concealed this plan.
The voice that came from the heart echoed in Dr. Ender's head.
Dr. Ander felt even more irritated, he felt that he had made a mistake, and he had never considered the "conscious violation of the operation by the color center". In the past, in my eyes, the color center was like a supercomputer used for daily research, but now in retrospect, the color center is not such a simple thing - in essence, in terms of self-awareness, it is completely different from those supercomputers that I knew in the past, and why do I realize it now?
It's as if there is a hazy power that blinds everyone's past knowledge.
Dr. Ender continues to search for the cause, knowing full well that his current self is different from his past self, not only in his identity as a patient with doomsday syndrome, but also in his own environment. He stopped abruptly, looking away from the cover of the note and casting his gaze toward the darkness that stretched as far as the eye could see. All the factors that led him to this darkness came by such a coincidence, as if he was destined to enter this darkness, from this point of view, the reason why he was able to think of things that he had never thought of before was because of the darkness that existed in the tower? And when you leave this darkness, these thoughts will disappear from you?
No, what's even more puzzling is why it's so dark inside the tower? Is there anything else in it besides tables, chairs and lights?
Dr. Ender has a sense of urgency and ambivalence. He wanted to leave this place at once and return to the Chromology Center, but he also wanted to stay and see if there was anything else enlightening in the darkness.
Dr. Ender was aware of the fact that his situation was very unusual, but he also felt that he had no more or better options. I have to accept such a strange, incomprehensible, and mysterious situation in order to continue to move forward in such a desperate situation.
Now is no longer the time to question, all incomprehensible, doubtful thoughts must be suppressed, Dr. Ender firmly believes and cautions himself so. In the absence of any evidence and uncertainty about what is "right", you have to act, no, you should say, you have to act. In such a maddening desperate situation, even if you do something wrong, it is better than doing nothing.
Dr. Ender relented, convinced himself, took the cards, papers, and notes again, and stepped into the darkness ahead again, fearful and conflicted.
The silent darkness made his thoughts run wild, he couldn't help but imagine more good or bad things, and his mind reached the peak of his life, and then he gradually understood which direction he was going to take—it was a faint intuition, like a strange whisper in his ear, but it made him feel that by doing so, he would definitely gain something. And so he did.
After walking in the dark for a while, even with his own heartbeat and pulse as a reference, Dr. Ender finally saw a light in front of him, as if it was the exit. This sudden light did not stop his steps, and even the frequency of his steps did not change.
Dr. Ender walked straight to the light. He had a strong emotion, as if there was a new world ahead of him. 2210
