Chapter 141 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 141 ...
These days, who doesn't immediately get medication and PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) upon diagnosis if they get HIV? Only those who don't know they have the disease and whose symptoms aren't obvious go to the hospital for testing and medication.
But these people are ultimately a very small minority.
Since the goal is to conquer it, Chi Boyan must conquer it completely. What kind of conquest is this? It is for this reason that he is now conducting a second round of research.
Lin Wei: "It seems you already have a direction?"
Chi Boyan: "Yes." Since drug rejection has occurred, he could change some components of the drug, or wait until the drug in the patient's body completely stops working. But that's too troublesome; he prefers to get it right the first time.
Lin Wei raised an eyebrow. "Then I wish you success ahead of time." She wasn't unaware of his affair with his teacher, but she didn't ask. Instead, Old Wei was cursing and swearing, saying he was no good.
Old Master Wei dislikes Jiang Taoyu, but that doesn't mean he likes Chi Boyan, who ruined people's reputations.
What kind of good person is someone who can use others and then stab them in the back? Even if Jiang Taoyu isn't a good person either, in his eyes, the two of them are birds of a feather.
She only recently learned that he was the disciple of her teacher's junior brother. According to seniority, she entered the sect earlier, so he should call her senior sister.
Thinking of this, Lin Wei joked, "Call me 'Senior Sister' and let me hear it."
Chi Boyan: "Sorry, I've already betrayed my sect." It's more appropriate for her to call him senior brother. At this moment, he was also glad he had betrayed her early. He didn't really want to call her senior sister; as for what else to call her, the name Lin Wei was already quite nice.
The young man, somewhere between a boy and a man, didn't know what love felt like, but he vaguely knew that he felt something special for her, though he had no intention of taking any concrete action.
More than romantic love, ideals and career are what he truly seeks, and he believes she does too.
Although Lin Wei was researching neurotrophic factors, she did take his words to heart: what if the intensity of hyperbaric oxygen and electrode stimulation wasn't enough? What other methods could be used to stimulate nerve activity and reverse the disorder of consciousness?
She couldn't think of anything else, unless she made it herself.
Once the thought arises, it's impossible to shake it off, but because the mind is empty, the thought remains just that—a thought.
In the rehabilitation ward, Zhang Youqing waited for two days but didn't see her. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, wondering if she had given up on the research. She asked the attending physician, but couldn't get an answer.
Just as she was about to go out for dinner, Lin Wei arrived.
Upon seeing her, he immediately recognized her as a family member and explained, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to check on the patient's condition."
"You're going to eat, right? Go ahead." She doesn't need anyone here.
However, Zhang Youqing had finally waited for the person, so how could she leave? She quickly shook her head, "I'm not hungry, it's the same if I eat later." The last time she saw this doctor, he was already very young, but she didn't expect him to be even younger now.
Is she as old as her son? No, I don't think so.
Lin Wei let her be. She performed some routine examinations on the patient, checked the brainwaves, made some records, and was about to leave when Zhang Youqing called her back.
"Doctor, I heard from Dr. Gao that you are researching ways to wake up vegetative patients? Can I ask if you have any ideas on how to do this now?" The doctor asked, looking somewhat anxious.
Lin Wei glanced at the person on the hospital bed, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes, and nodded in acknowledgment, "I am currently researching this disease, and I already have some ideas on how to proceed, but it will take time."
"You know that research is always uncertain. I can't guarantee that we'll succeed. I can only say that even if we succeed, it will take at least several months or even a year." If nerve cell transplantation is effective, and we don't need to consider electrode stimulation, then the process will be much faster.
However, Lin Wei felt it wasn't that simple.
Disappointment flashed in Zhang Youqing's eyes. She knew she was telling the truth, but what she wanted was for someone to give her a definite answer. However, it was clear that Lin Wei didn't want her to fall into disappointment after having hope.
After leaving the rehabilitation department, she fell into deep thought. Neurotrophic factors sound easy to understand, but where should one begin?
In reality, many drugs are neurotrophic factors, such as vitamin B1, methylcobalamin, coenzyme A, etc., but none of them are the neurotrophic factors that Lin Wei wants.
What she wanted were stronger, more effective neurotrophic factors, also known as protein molecules that support neuronal growth, development, and functional integrity.
So after some thought, Lin Wei decided to start with the tissue controlled by this nerve and the protein molecules produced by astrocytes.
With a prototype already in place, what's there to worry about in terms of modification?
Because of this, she subsequently became busy again.
Failure, failure again.
Lin Wei had no idea how many times she had failed, each time failing to meet her standards.
Patience gradually faded.
However, it would be a lie to say that there were no results at all. Although she had no clues about neurotrophic factors, she did have a small idea about neurosensory stimulation.
She wondered if there was something that could connect to brainwaves without direct skin contact, or something that could contact the skin but not damage it no matter how strong the electrical current, yet still affect nerve cells.
Thinking about it that way, she started to want to give it a try.
In addition, since Chi Boyan was already researching nerve cell transplantation, there was no need to rush for her neurotrophic factors, so Lin Wei directly started working on physics.
Isn't this just a physical activity?
She never expected that she would have the opportunity to use physics again after graduating from university, but this time it was no small matter.
She originally intended to make the electrode pads into the shape she wanted, but the more she conceived and designed them, the more functions she added, and in the end, it became a capsule similar to a massage chair.
When she looked at the images she had created, she fell silent. How long would it take her to finish this all by herself? By then, it would be too late.
So she started deleting them one by one, but found that she couldn't bear to; she felt it was a pity to delete any of them. In this respect, she was like all researchers: better to have none than to have bad ones.
Who would be willing to throw away their precious picture and keep a piece of junk?
She couldn't bear to part with it, she really couldn't. Looking at the picture, she felt a pang of heartache. And because of that, she decided not to delete it.
She has money now, so why would she be afraid of not being able to afford the research? At worst, she can just sell it after she finishes the research.
However, one thing is true: while she possesses extensive theoretical knowledge, her understanding of materials science is far less than that of students who actually study physics. Realizing Zhang Mo wasn't around, she directly contacted the friend she'd added before—Han Zhou, right?—and inquired about some physics-related questions.
It's all a matter of materials.
Han Zhou answered all the questions he could, and there was nothing he could do about the ones he couldn't answer. But from the questions Lin Wei asked, it was clear enough that she had a high level of expertise in physics; ordinary people wouldn't ask such questions.
Coincidentally, shortly after she asked him, Zhang Mo, who had been in seclusion for four months, returned. Han Zhou, seeing him, told him about Lin Wei's earlier visit, "She seems to be working on something; it sounds quite interesting."
Zhang Mo looked surprised when he heard this, but instead of asking what she had asked, he went directly to Lin Wei.
"Did you just look for Han Zhou?"
By this time, Lin Wei had already asked Qin Boyuan to buy some things. The fact that he had so many materials at home when watching the high school physics competition showed that they were quite knowledgeable about these things.
After finishing talking to him, she saw Zhang Mo's message and replied, "You're back?"
"Yes, that's right. I need his help with some things."
Zhang Mo: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Lin Wei thought for a moment, then took a picture of the images and materials she had been working on over the past few days and sent them over. "Could you take a look and see if this research is feasible?" She was afraid that she would spend a lot of time only to find that it was still not going to work.
Zhang Mo glanced at it; there was quite a lot of information. "I'll get back to you after I've finished reading it." He needed some time to review it.
Lin Wei: "Okay." It can only be said that knowing some people at this time is still beneficial. Delegating most things to others saves a lot of trouble.
As for favors, she'll repay them if she can, but if she can't, there's nothing she can do.
Zhang Mo had been reviewing the materials she had sent over the past two days, and the more he read, the more he realized that her facility incorporated many theories. Theoretically, the plan was feasible, but in practice, it was quite complex.
However, it was also extremely challenging, so he volunteered to participate.
"I want to join this research."
Lin Wei: "Is everything alright at school? Or are you planning to join online?"
Zhang Mo: "I've already completed all my studies in my junior year, I just didn't choose to pursue further studies." Otherwise, where would those four months have come from?
Even the most tolerant school wouldn't tolerate this much.
Lin Wei: "Okay then, but I don't have many people here. If you have a suitable candidate, you can ask them to come and work part-time. The salary is 10,000 yuan, excluding accommodation. The price is negotiable." She has money now.
With this in mind, she felt that it was time to get the house purchase on track.
