Chapter 400 You don’t meet the requirements, but I still chose you
After Gu Wangnan came, Gu Nan's recovery progress improved by leaps and bounds.
In the second month, she was able to sit in a wheelchair for two hours, hold a pen and write. Although her strokes were choppy, the atrophied muscles were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was April, and the spring weather was in full bloom. The rehabilitation doctor said that breathing more fresh air would be very helpful for Gu Nan's lung function recovery, so Gu Wangnan would push Gu Nan to the lawn every day to take a walk and bask in the sun.
The Tianguang Rehabilitation Research Center covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, and the greening is particularly well done. A Junzi Garden has been built, an artificial lake has been dug in the garden, and there is also a pavilion in the middle of the lake. Staff members often chat and take a rest in the pavilion.
Gu Nan also likes to go there because there is a cultural corridor on the way and he can see a lot of information about the Tianguang Rehabilitation Research Center when passing by.
Tianguang Rehabilitation Research Center is affiliated to the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is a National Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Science. Most researchers in Tianguang are focusing on the nervous system, the only difference being whether their research focuses on structure, development or function.
For example, Yi Jingrong, her main research direction is the development of neural stem cells, cerebral cortex and neural circuits.
She is the main person in charge of the skylight awakening project and the leader of the scientific research team. She was the first person to propose the concept of a targeted simulated awakening system.
Every time Gu Nan passed by there, he would take a look at it. After a few times, he had memorized all the information in the corridor.
Similarly, Gu Nan found that his memory had improved.
She can almost remember ordinary words and images at a glance. She does not need to think for a long time to recall something, because when her brain comes into contact with keywords, it will pick out the corresponding text and mark it out like a computer search engine.
Her brain was more efficient than ever.
Her mind was clearer than ever.
But she didn't mention it to anyone.
She would not reveal everything when she was defenseless, as that would usually only get her into trouble.
She didn't reveal it on her own initiative, but Yi Jingrong seemed to have seen some clues from her test results.
A month later, Yi Jingrong appeared in front of Gu Nan again.
Only this time the location was outside the counseling room in the rehabilitation building.
After Gu Nan was able to speak, she began to receive psychological counseling. Yi Jingrong waited for her at the door on purpose, probably because he thought that her defenses were weakened at this time and there was an opportunity to take advantage of her.
But Yi Jingrong was disappointed. Gu Nan did not trust the psychologist here, and would not open his heart to strangers.
"Shall I push you away?" Yi Jingrong said as he stood behind Gu Nan.
Gu Wangnan took the initiative to give up her seat. Perhaps Yi Jingrong had negotiated with her before Gu Nan came out.
Gu Nan looked back at Gu Wangnan and saw that she was following him not too far away. He said nothing and let Yi Jingrong push him away.
"You don't seem to like me very much." Yi Jingrong said straight to the point, "Is it because of that unpleasant experience?"
Gu Nan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Yi Jingrong seemed to know that Gu Nan would not answer this question, and without waiting for her answer, he continued: "In fact, I don't know as much as you think. You don't have to be hostile to me."
"I'm not a pervert who enjoys torturing others. If possible, I certainly hope you don't have to go through any pain. But I'm sorry, after the system is activated, no one can interfere with your experience in the other world."
Yi Jingrong was well aware of the grudge in Gu Nan's heart and was willing to let go of his attitude, but Gu Nan was not moved at all by these dry words.
"Under normal circumstances, we believe that nerve cells cannot regenerate after death, but research has shown that under a specific stress condition, nerve cells can regenerate."
"New neurons are generally different from original neurons, but their functions are largely the same. They can basically replace original neurons to form new neural circuits and restore brain function in that area."
"We provide patients with a special environment, stimulate them into a stress state, and allow them enough time for their brain functions to recover. Once the recovery is complete, they will wake up. This is the principle of waking you up."
"Sounds simple, right?" Yi Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief. "It's actually quite difficult. Most people's brains stop developing around the age of 18, but some continue to develop until 25. During this period of brain development, the structure and function of brain cells continue to become increasingly complex, especially between the ages of 18 and 25, when this process of complexity is particularly intense. Any biochemical, physiological, and psychological changes can have a significant impact on brain development."
"You're just below the 25-year-old threshold. Logically, your brain state doesn't match the brain state of the 25-35-year-old population I've identified. I didn't initially plan to include you in my list of awakening targets."
The brain is the most sophisticated organ in the human body, and human understanding of the brain is inherently shallow. In order to achieve the best experimental results, we can only try our best to eliminate individual differences in the experimental subjects.
Whether the childhood was healthy, whether the family relationship was harmonious, whether the job was stable, whether the person had established an intimate relationship with the opposite sex or was in the process of maintaining an intimate relationship, hobbies, specialties, likes and dislikes... these will all affect the background generation of the system, and thus affect the awakening effect.
This is a big project, but funds are limited, and the selection of every patient is crucial. Yi Jingrong can only screen the relatively stable population aged 25-35 first.
"You might be wondering, if you don't meet my criteria, why would I choose you?"
Yi Jingrong pushed Gu Nan into the elevator, then blocked the elevator door and waited for Gu Wangnan to come up, "Because you have a good mother."
Gu Nan's expression changed slightly.
Looking up towards the door, Gu Wangnan was slowly moving towards this side, holding on to the wall. Seeing that two people were waiting for her, she smiled embarrassedly and quickened her pace.
Two days ago, Gu Wangnan twisted his waist while pushing Gu Nan along the barrier-free ramp. He bought some plaster to apply on it, but it still hurt.
Even though it hurt, she insisted on accompanying Gu Nan for walks and daily training.
Actually, the car accident that Gu Nan encountered was quite unfair. The accident was caused by two large trucks colliding in the rain, and then a series of private cars rear-ended each other, with some of the cars even being knocked onto the sidewalk. Gu Nan was the unlucky passerby who was caught in the collision.
Gu Wangnan said that three people died and seven people were seriously injured in the accident. Compared with the three people who died on the spot, Gu Nan was lucky. Now that he has woken up, he can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But realistically, the accident involved so many people that she didn't receive much compensation. Besides medical insurance, she didn't have any accident or commercial medical insurance. Gu Wangnan covered most of the high surgical and rehabilitation costs after the accident.
Gu Wangnan personally took care of her for a year and sent her here. He must have done his best.
The fact that Gu Wangnan worked so hard for a child who was not his biological child was beyond description.
"It's useless. It's hard for you to wait for me." Gu Wangnan walked into the elevator and said with a smile.
Yi Jingrong opened the elevator door, pressed the first floor button, and replied with a smile: "Gu Nan just needs physical therapy. I'll arrange one for you too. You'll get better faster."
Gu Wangnan was a little surprised. He didn't understand why this unsociable researcher was so enthusiastic and was about to refuse.
Gu Nan had already agreed before her, "Okay."
