The sea breeze blows the lush trees of the island, the clear blue water gently laps the shallows, and the petrels chase and play in the air, and even the air is so refreshing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shizushima, an artificial island created by human sand reclamation, welcomed two visitors today.

On the dock, Yuan Mei jumped lightly from the deck, and when she landed on the wooden dock, she jumped forward to unload her strength. After standing firmly, she couldn't help but look around, and the beautiful scenery on the island fell into Yuan Mei's eyes, making her mood soar.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Gu Shiwei, who got off the boat behind Yuan Mei, let out an exclamation, retracted her hair that was blown away by the sea breeze with her hand, and actually started to take a selfie with the personal terminal on her wrist against the island as the background.

"Don't be so narcissistic, there will be time for you to shoot enough in the future. It's not good to delay time and make Dean Zhang wait for a long time. "Yuan Mei knows the narcissistic character of this companion, once the selfie is endless." We're here for internships, not tours. ”

"Ah, just take a picture." Gu Shiwei said and leaned over to Yuan Mei, stretched out her hand to take a group photo with her, and then uploaded the group photo to Tianxun's personal space.

"What should I write in the remarks? Hmm......" Gu Shiwei puffed out her cheeks and thought for a while, "It's called a honeymoon trip with Yuan Xiaohua." ”

"Gu! Poem! Wei!"

"Oops! Let's go, don't make Dean Zhang wait for a long time. ”

"Wait, don't run."

Two young and beautiful young girls chased along the gravel path, scattering a string of silver bells of laughter on the still island.

At the end of the gravel path is a building with white walls and red tiles, which is the famous Thinking Rehabilitation Research Institute.

Ten years ago, mankind invented the world's first implantable thinking program, alphadog. As a mental program, it allows an adult with no prior knowledge of Go to defeat a professional nine-dan player in an official match after three to five months of systematic study. This completely upended people's perception that before that, Go, known as the holy grail of human wisdom, was a game of chess that was easy to learn and difficult to master, and its laurels were only awarded to a small group of talented people. It is said that genius is 99% hard work plus 1% talent, hard work can be possessed by everyone, and talent depends on God. Now, humanity seems to have found a shortcut to bypass the tight barrier between genius and mortal.

This invention completely changed the trajectory of human development. In the following decade, the technology of implantable thinking programs has developed explosively, and various implantable thinking programs have appeared in people's lives.

In this way, human beings suddenly and unexpectedly entered the fourth age - the era of brain dimension.

Even God doesn't know what humans are going to toss themselves into. The inventor of AlphaDog was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after leaving this sentence due to a rejection reaction between the implantable mind program and the subconscious. Soon, similar cases were appearing around the world. This new psychiatric symptom is known as traumatic psychotic disorder, while traditional psychiatric disorders such as autism, mania, anorexia, depression, etc., are referred to as pathological psychotic disorders.

Desire is the driving force of human progress. Although the advent of traumatic mental disorder has discouraged many people from implanting their minds, the temptation to become a genius is too great, and there are still an endless stream of people who take the risk to engage in this dangerous behavior.

It was against this backdrop that Shizushima was built. It is home to a group of scientists and medical scientists who specialize in the treatment and research of traumatic mental disorders.

Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei stood straight at their desks, like soldiers under review. Yuan Mei's eyes were filled with reverence and a hint of curiosity, and Gu Shiwei, who had always jumped out, rarely put away her temperament and pretended to be a good girl. You must know that the lady in front of her is a master in the field of thinking research, and the two budding newcomers who have just stepped out of the school can only bow down to their orders in front of them.

Zhang Qiuqing put down the letter of recommendation in his hand, "Welcome to Jingdao Rehabilitation Center, being able to stand out from more than 100 schools and more than 3,000 competitors is enough to prove that you are all very good talents." I hope that in the past six months in Shizushima, you can see more, ask more, and learn more. I will also try my best to help you, and strive to make you look back on the past six months in the future, and you will feel that the effort is meaningful. ”

The two women hurriedly nodded yes.

"Do you know why I call this a rehab center and not a research institute?"

The two women looked at each other and shook their heads together.

"You come with me."

Zhang Qiuqing walked out of the office with the two of them and walked all the way down the corridor. Along the way, they met a lot of staff wearing work clothes, and what made Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei feel strange was that when these people saw Zhang Qiuqing greeting him, some called Dean Zhang, some called Professor Zhang, and some called Dr. Zhang. Some of them would look at them curiously after greeting them, and at this time, Zhang Qiuqing would introduce the identities of the two women to these people. There were also some people who rushed in a hurry, not only did they not look at the two women, but some even greeted Zhang Qiuqing with a nod, and Zhang Qiuqing seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't care.

Soon after, the trio came to a room. There are many instruments in the room, and a middle-aged man with glasses is busy in front of them. When he saw Zhang Qiuqing and the three of them entering, he stopped what he was doing and stepped forward, "Professor Zhang, these two are new interns." ”

"Yes." Zhang Qiuqing turned his head to the two women and said, "This is Dr. Fa Liangze, and he will take you to study in the next half a year." ”

The two women hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time their eyes stayed on the doctor's glasses for a few more seconds. You must know that with the popularization of new vision correction devices, myopia and presbyopia are on the verge of extinction, and glasses can only be seen in museums.

"I didn't expect both of them to come, Professor, it looks like I have to find a chance to thank you." Fa Liangze seemed to notice that the two women were a little curious about their glasses, and pushed on the glasses with his hand, "The latest product of Apple Nuclear Company, ES multi-functional co-frequency sensing platform. There is no mass production yet, this is an experimental model. It has a visual mirror screen, with functions such as scanning and recording, and supports double C multiple adjustment, which can realize telescopic or microscopic functions as needed. ”

Zhang Qiuqing interrupted Fa Liangze: "Don't show off prohibited products in front of the little girl, how is the patient's condition?" ”

Hearing the word prohibited product, Yuan Mei seemed to understand something. In connection with the same frequency sensing that Dr. Fa Liangze just introduced, I immediately understood that this glasses are controlled by the mind. In other words, the premise of using this glasses is to implant the corresponding control program in the mind. Because of the danger of the mind implant program, all mind implant programs and their ancillary equipment that have not obtained a license are currently contraband and cannot be circulated in the market, and it is not known how Dr. Fa Liangze obtained the glasses.

"SAC1225 and SAC1226 are in stable condition, and it is recommended to try arousal therapy. SAC1224 presents with late symptoms, and the subconscious mind appears to have been assimilated by the implanted program, and retardation therapy is recommended. The situation with SAC1227 is still unclear and continued observation is recommended. Fa Liangze introduced the situation to Zhang Qiuqing while operating on the instrument beside him. The entire wall in front of Fa Liangze suddenly disappeared, replaced by a transparent glass wall. Through the glass, four patients in blue striped hospital gowns can be seen in another room.

"Don't worry, this wall is one-sided, they can't see us." Fa Liangze explained to the two women.

"Remember my question?" Zhang Qiuqing suddenly took over and asked, "Do you know why I want this to be a rehabilitation center instead of a research institute?" ”

Zhang Qiuqing looked at the four patients on the other side of the glass wall: "It's SAC1224 biting his fingers in a daze, his subconscious mind is being implanted and assimilated, and he has slowly lost his understanding of being a human being. In the near future, he will completely lose his personality and become an object, and will have to rely on life support devices to maintain vital signs. Delayed treatment does not stop this process, and his consequences are almost doomed, and the only value is to contribute some experimental data. There is little difference in the future of the other three people, and we have not yet found any proven treatment. Since the establishment of Shizushima, none of the patients on the island have left alive. ”

The air pressure in the room seemed to be low with Zhang Qiuqing's words, and Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei felt a little out of breath.

"Each of them has a family with deep affection, and each of them has a gorgeous and colorful life, and now they don't even have their own names, only cold numbers." Zhang Qiuqing said slowly word by word, and then his tone suddenly became urgent, "They came with the hope of healing, and all we can give is despair!" ”

"If hope is lost, then they are just numbered subjects." Zhang Qiuqing took a deep breath, closed his eyes to calm down, and continued: "The composition of Jingdao is very complicated, there are researchers from the academy like you, and there are also scientific researchers from group companies; There are medical staff from specialized hospitals, as well as official administrative staff. Shizushima was originally established to treat patients who have suffered from mental trauma, but now the treatment has not been able to make effective progress, and some people have turned to Shizushima as a laboratory with countless legal experimental bodies, driven by various interests. In the name of finding a cure, they conduct various experiments on patients. ”

"Human experiments!" Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei were startled, and Yuan Mei stammered: "How is it possible, now that Tianxun is so developed, aren't they afraid of being exposed?" ”

Gu Shiwei was even more angry, her face was flushed with anger, and she even forgot Zhang Qiuqing's identity and status for a while, and asked in a questioning tone: "Yes, Professor Zhang, are you just going to let them do this?" ”

"Mental trauma has been around for too short a time, and there is still a gap in research in this area. So all the current treatments are research and experimental in nature, which is simply unavoidable. Fa Liangze pointed to the room across the glass wall, "Like this ward, which is based on the theory of the silver carp effect, four patients with very different symptoms are placed in an enclosed space, and the brainwaves are amplified by special instruments to stimulate each other, and it is still unknown how effective this treatment will be at present." ”

Fa Liangze walked to the glass wall and stretched out his hand to operate a few times, and a virtual display screen popped up on the transparent glass wall, and the band diagram was used on the display screen to clearly display the brainwave interference phenomenon in the ward. As professionals who graduated from the undergraduate class, Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei can clearly see the experimental process from the schematic diagram.

"The retardation treatment for SAC1224 and the arousal therapy for SAC1225 and SAC1226 are essentially the same as the silver carp treatment, which is not only a treatment plan with unclear efficacy, but also an experimental process to collect various data to prepare for further treatment." Fa Liangze smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's not too much to call these treatments experiments, because they have never cured a single patient. ”

Yuan Mei and Gu Shiwei looked at each other, they had just come out of the academy and had not yet been polluted by society, they felt that all this was unacceptable, but they couldn't find a word to refute it.

The first lesson in Shizushima was unexpectedly heavy.

These two are still children, and Zhang Qiuqing doesn't know whether he is right or wrong to do this. However, the current situation of Shizushima seems to be normal, but in fact, it is already in danger, and there is an undercurrent surging under the calm, and there is no possibility of being alone in Shizushima. In order to prevent them from going astray, the only way to do this is to know the key early. As long as they understand the stakes, plus the protection of themselves and Fa Liangze, it should not be easy for accidents.
