Chapter 196: Progress in Scientific Research
"You didn't lock her up?" Alice asked first, remembering that they had been careful to lock the two mutants when they first caught them.
"There's no need, she knows she has the virus and is cooperating with me to be quarantined. Dr. Neville explained.
"Does she know where she is?" Also, what about the male? You have two "patients". Shen Chao asked.
"The male patient still shows no signs of regaining his intelligence, and I have used the same treatment for them, but it seems to be working only for this woman at the moment. Dr. Neville said, bringing up his previous footage from the monitor next to him.
The video is divided into many segments, in which the woman progresses through various stages of treatment until the latest videos show that she is beginning to speak.
In the video, during Dr. Neville's test, his female patient first reacts to his words, and then begins to pick up his words intermittently.
"Doctor, wouldn't you mind explaining what was going on?" Shen Chao looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little surreal, although he was not completely sure, but it seemed that this female patient seemed to have recovered some of the human intelligence.
"It's a surprise to me, until the other day, I was still trying to recover her memories step by step, but today ......," Dr. Neville began to speak.
"Wait, Doctor. From the beginning, we don't know where you have been in their treatment. Shen Chao interrupted after listening to a few words.
Dr. Neville was a little too excited right now. It doesn't seem to take into account that a few of them don't know at all what stage of his own realism is going on.
"Okay. You know I treated them a month ago, recovering her and another patient to human signs, right? Dr. Neville paused, thought for a moment, and confirmed.
"That's right, you were excited to be on the island all day. Castel's deep, unchanging voice joined in, and they both knew how excited Dr. Neville was at the time.
"That's it, I knew then that since I could turn them back into humans, there must be a way to restore their memories, or even some of them. For example, Dr. Neville used ......" to mention a lot of technical vocabulary that his three listeners couldn't understand what he was talking about.
"I tried several medications, 6 combination therapies. Neuroplastic therapy and hyperoxia were the most effective, and I was able to restore some of her memory. Dr. Neville said, gesturing to the female patient.
"But that's not enough. You know, until the last time we crossed out, Leah had only recovered a fraction of her memories and still couldn't speak, and her memories were only enough for her to overcome the urge to attack me. ”
"But 4 hours ago, I injected her with a 50CC of suspected blood orchid substance extract...... Dr. Neville said, referring to the blood orchid they had just brought back.
"Wait, Doctor, what did you say?" Didn't you say before that you would need to do a detailed lab test before you could start researching the Blood Orchid? Also, What is a "suspected" blood orchid substance? Shen Chao didn't understand when he heard this.
This is the sadness that the profession is not right, and the professionals will explain to you in detail that you can't understand what the other party is saying.
"Oh. Of course. I did a careful examination, and I performed a detailed dissection of the carcasses of several pythons we had brought, and found in them a compound that I had not seen before.
I haven't found the same substance on the flowers of the blood orchid, but it seems that these pythons have escaped the Haflik limit because of this compound, so I need to see what part of the effect is produced. More importantly, whether it is effective for the human body. ”…,
Dr. Neville explained. The compound he found was very similar to the one he had found on the blood orchid, but it was still a little different under the electron microscope.
"And what exactly did you do, Doctor?" Shen Chao still didn't understand, and directly asked what Dr. Neville had done.
"Oh, I isolated some of this compound from the tissues of those two pythons. Then she was injected with a portion of it. And that's what it looks like. Dr. Neville said, gesturing to the female patient in the interrogation room.
"So, after that, it only took a few hours for this patient to recover a lot of memory? Shen Chao guessed cautiously on the side.
"Yes, of course, when I gave her an assessment an hour ago. She still had a lot of things she couldn't remember. But she remembered that she was human, and she remembered how she was infected. And understand that I am being treated in isolation. ”
"But how did this happen? Shen Chao still didn't understand. Isn't the role of blood orchid only to prolong life?
"It's complicated, and I can only guess a lot of the specific principles now. But one thing is certain, the effect of blood orchid includes more than just prolonging life. Dr. Neville affirmed.
"How do you know?" ”
"Remember those pythons?" I checked last night, and in the records that we have, there is no species of python that has the ability to communicate in complex ways through guò sounds. Therefore, it is likely that those pythons experienced an increase in intelligence after eating the blood orchid. Dr. Neville gave examples they had seen at the time.
"According to my speculation, when the blood orchid is eaten by animals, it will gradually become something else in the food chain, a substance that can stimulate the cranial nerves to repair and reorganize themselves. ”
"Among the specific benefits of this new compound are longevity and brain power. Dr. Neville finally made Shen Chao understand when he said this.
"Now, I'll go in and test her again, and see what stage her memory has come to ......," said Dr. Neville, walking toward the interrogation room.
Shen Chao also finally understood what Dr. Neville meant, it turned out that the special compound carried by the blood orchid itself would become something new in the food chain, and Dr. Neville was testing the effect of this new substance.
Two minutes later, Dr. Neville, who had two isolation doors through Guò, entered the interrogation room. The reason it took so long was because he still had some of those things in there.
"Hey, Leah. Dr. Neville greeted as he entered the interrogation room.
"Hello, Dr. Neville. The female patient shrank back after seeing Dr. Neville and greeted, I don't know why, Shen Chao felt that this was like a little girl's posture. It doesn't look like a grown woman.
"How's the breakfast?" Dr. Neville continued to ask after putting down the toolbox full of things.
"Very well......" replied the female patient. Shen Chao noticed that she looked at the toolbox that Dr. Neville had brought, and there was some fear in her eyes.
"Is there anything you'd like to say, Leah?" Dr. Neville seemed to notice this, and asked with concern.
"Doctor, what's in there?" The female patient asked uneasily, gesturing at his toolbox, a subtle hint of fear in his voice.
"Don't be afraid, Leah, I'm not here to give you an injection. Dr. Neville explained, as if he had guessed what she was afraid of.
"Oh, that's great. The female patient slapped her hands twice when she said this, and she didn't look like an adult woman anymore.
"I'm going to do some tests on you today, okay?" Dr. Neville said as he began to take something out of his toolbox. …,
"Okay, doctor" The female patient didn't seem to resist hearing the test.
Dr. Neville took out a number of things and began to test her intelligence, mainly her cognitive and memory and logical thinking skills, using tools ranging from lighters to educational toys.
His female patient was also quite cooperative, and very efficiently completed the challenge given to her by Dr. Neville. Shun lì's Tong guò arranged for her to be given an intelligence test. After a while, Dr. Neville left the interrogation room and returned to the outside room.
"What's going on, how many memories has she recovered?" That's what Alice asked.
"It's complicated, she remembers a lot of her memories as an adult, but her main memory is before she was 10 years old. The personality is also like a child...... "Dr. Neville began to explain the progress of the treatment of this patient.
It turned out that there was a big fault line in the memory of this female patient, and it was her childhood memories that were currently dominant. She didn't know her age, but she remembered her parents and her childhood address.
"What do you want to do, Doctor?" Shen Chao asked how Dr. Neville was going to arrange for this patient, who had not fully recovered.
"In the past month, her multiple blood tests have not found KV virus, so she will never become a mutant again for no reason, and I am ready to further treat her to see if I can restore more of her memory." ”
"Do you want her to get out of quarantine?" Shen Chao asked the most important question, he had never thought that Dr. Neville would make such great progress so quickly.
"Let me observe for another two weeks, and it should be even better." And it's best to have a psychiatrist for him then......" Dr. Neville said as he looked at the female patient inside, who was playing with the toys he had brought in.
"Okay, I'll think about it. And I will arrange for you to have two more drones to assist you in your security work. Shen Chao opened the universal tool as he spoke, and began to set it up.
Due to the fact that many of Dr. Neville's real bodies are more dangerous, he has already arranged for two drones to be responsible for the security here, but looking at the current situation, he needs to be further sent to support.
"And, Doctor, you have to take care of your rest these days. Our next crossing is about to begin, and you'll need to get in shape. Shen Chao said and turned off the universal tool, and the two drones had already rushed towards the real building. (To be continued.)
