Chapter 691: Deep down, she's crazy (two chapters combined)
While waiting for 001, another private message came from the other end.
"Young friend, I am the head of the Medicine Sect. My disciple has already told me about the world you inhabit. The world is vast and full of wonders! I never expected my disciple to have such an opportunity! However, everyone has their own destiny, and I will not interfere in the friendships and opportunities of my disciples. But the Blackwater River is, after all, a treasure that has brought us the Medicine Sect to prosperity. For our sect, the Blackwater River is of paramount importance. I cannot help but be excited to hear news of the Blackwater River! I know the Blackwater River is special, and I also know from my disciple that you cannot use it. Therefore, our Medicine Sect would like to make a deal with you. You provide us with Blackwater, and we can provide you with pills. You can take all kinds of pills. Although demonic stones are not common here, they are everywhere in the Demon Realm, which has also affected our continent. In our cultivation world, only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage can one increase their lifespan, because the Rejuvenation Pill required to break through to the Nascent Soul stage can completely remove demonic energy. The Blackwater is of little use to you, but it is a necessary item on our path of cultivation. I hope you will consider this! Thank you very much!"
It turned out to be a message from the sect leader of the Medicine Sect. Gu Yin saw that 001 hadn't replied yet, so she replied: "I need the Rejuvenation Pill and Rejuvenation Herb. I can agree to your request, but I can't make the decision right now. I need other people's consent first. Also, my position in this world is similar to that of the Medicine Elder of your sect. The Blackwater River doesn't belong to me. If I want to use it, I must come up with a sufficiently important reason. So you have to give me the Rejuvenation Pill and Rejuvenation Herb first. I need to study how to make it. No one here knows about my opportunity with your sect's disciples. Once someone finds out, my safety will be threatened. So if you trust me, then do as I say."
Gu Yin had just sent the message when 001 replied.
"Well? Why is your master still saying that?"
00 shook its head: "Master isn't here. I heard from the other divine messengers that Master seems to have gone on a mission. Several of the mission worlds Master worked on before crashed, and she has to go back to fix them." Luckily, Master didn't take the new system with her, otherwise it would be extremely anxious!
Gu Yin hadn't expected the newly appointed supreme god to be so busy: "Do you know when your master will be back?"
001 shook his head: "I don't know. The difficulty of the task, as well as the requirements of the person involved, all need to be considered. According to past experience, the task can only be considered a successful closed loop if the master lives through the person's entire life."
Gu Yin blinked: "Then what should we do? I'm in a real hurry here. Look at these messages, the people over there seem to be in a similar hurry too. But we're just using water, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
001 looked through the private message history, and after reading it, she pondered for a moment: "It should be fine, right?"
Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "Then can I agree to their request?"
001 was a little hesitant: "I think, I should be able to."
Before 001 could hesitate any longer, Gu Yin immediately replied: "I agree to the deal, but you need to give me the container for the black liquid. We don't have a suitable container here."
In less than two minutes, the transaction was completed, and a private message arrived: "The herbs and pills have been given to you. The jade bottle is the container for the black water, which can hold a thousand bushels of black water. I'll give you the extra jade bottle, young friend. I also have a prescription for making Rejuvenating Pills. I hope you can use it!"
One thousand dou is equivalent to 10 cubic meters today. This bottle is only the size of a disposable cup, yet it can hold so much. It truly has a treasure trove inside!
Gu Yin put everything into the Sumeru Mustard Seed, leaving only the prescription.
Gu Yin was stunned when she saw the medicinal herbs on the prescription.
"Another private message has arrived," 001 reminded Gu Yin.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin opened the bottle and said, "I forgot to tell you, fellow Daoist, that the bottle I gave you contained medicinal seeds. You just need to plant those seeds next to the Black Water, and in less than half a month, you will achieve the desired medicinal effect."
Gu Yin quickly took out the bottle and turned it over; sure enough, several packets of medicinal seeds fell out.
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Five-hundred-year-old ginseng, five-hundred-year-old lingzhi, five-hundred-year-old snow lotus... all of them are over five hundred years old. Where am I supposed to get them? Fortunately, the people from the Medicine Sect are quite thoughtful! Some of the medicinal herbs I picked from the lakeside should be useful. Let's do the experiments on these first and then we'll talk about the others!"
After Gu Yin came out, she studied their prescription and took out a Rejuvenating Pill to research. The sect leader gave her a bottle, and Gu Yin just checked; there were at least 10 pills inside! She didn't feel bad about wasting any!
While Gu Yin was working herself to the bone in the lab, the outside world was in an uproar over the release of the implanted chip!
Many people online didn't believe it, but because it was officially endorsed, quite a few people did. Moreover, the official team even had the two volunteers from before come on stage to demonstrate, which further increased their trust!
When people found out that Gu Yin was the one who created this thing, the internet was in an uproar.
"I know she's good at biomedicine, but that's something used in computer science, physics, optics, and other disciplines. How could she possibly know it?!"
"Are there no barriers to genius?"
"As far as I know, when she was in high school, she was better at math, physics, chemistry, and computer science than biology. There was a rumor that she wasn't actually taking biology classes, but was instead auditing classes in other departments, and that her second major was computer science, so..."
"So, she really is a genius! It's no wonder she could do it! Besides, this was announced by the government, so they must have investigated the facts before making this announcement; they wouldn't do something reckless. After all, Zhou Guyin isn't an ordinary citizen. If she were to embarrass herself, our country would be endlessly ridiculed in the world of science! Now I just want to ask, when will holographic movies and holographic games be released?!"
"I, I, I want to ask, since this chip connects to the human nervous system to absorb the images fed back by the chip and thus transmit light and shadow, then, then, is there any hope for people in a vegetative state? In most cases, the nerves in the brain of people in a vegetative state are still awake, they just can't open their eyes. If we use this technology to stimulate them, can we know what the patient is thinking at the moment from the computer? Can we also stimulate the patient and make them wake up?!"
"Aaaaaah!! Your idea upstairs is absolutely terrifying!!! I'm getting goosebumps! If it were really possible, wouldn't we be worried that future technology would control human minds? Replacing a person's brain neurons—when that person wakes up, is it the real person or just a string of data? Who knows??"
The two questions above have been praised by the authorities, which has caused another uproar among netizens. This means that it is possible to stimulate the patient to wake up, but it is also possible that the person who wakes up is not the patient!
The official team immediately announced another press conference, this time focusing on how to use chips safely.
After this news spread abroad, it caused a stir overseas. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was inundated with calls and had to send a message informing them that a press conference would be held the following afternoon, and that interested overseas journalists with connections in the international community could apply to come.
If Gu Yin had explained this on the spot, the credibility would have been much higher. However, when the higher-ups learned that Gu Yin had made a breakthrough in radiation drug research, they immediately told her to focus on her experiments and not worry about the bloodshed outside!
Gu Yin decided to ignore it. She was really busy right now and didn't have time to pay attention to those people's doubts. Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, she had professionals around, so she wasn't afraid of them causing a scene.
Li Li also received a call from the doctor in Gangcheng.
"Ali, have you heard of that technology from the mainland?"
Li Li happened to be at the hospital for a check-up at the time. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's true, Dr. Wang. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"We do have this plan, but it all feels fake. Foreign technology is so advanced, yet they can't achieve this level. It's not that I look down on our country, but our technology is indeed lagging behind by more than a little bit!"
Li Li hung up the phone, took a few pictures of his eyes, sent them directly to the other party's email, and then called back.
"Dr. Wang, actually, besides those two volunteers who underwent surgery, I also had surgery, and I felt great afterward. Except for a slight difference in the feel of my eyes, there's no difference from real eyes, and they're even better than real eyes. This is because the chip can provide feedback on anything it scans and that has been recorded online! It's even more powerful than a scanner!" Actually, there are still drawbacks. They can't use this function continuously because it can affect the brain. The amount of information is too large, and if the brain capacity is insufficient, it can cause dizziness and poor memory. Gu Yin had already explained this when the implant was made.
Dr. Wang had already seen Li Li's photo: "I'll buy a ticket right now! I need to see you!!!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Li smiled. The dean was right; he didn't need to go there himself, the people there would come over on their own!
Three days later, at the Qingda laboratory, Gu Yin took the previous medicinal materials and made a new medicine according to the prescription. If the Rejuvenating Pill could cure the disease completely, then this medicine might cure half of it. Gu Yin couldn't be sure yet, but she was certain that it was much better than the targeted drug!
After preparing the medicine, Gu Yin went to the experimental area.
Cheng Dong was also in the lab; he had recently started a new research project. Seeing Gu Yin come out of his lab, he stood up and asked, "Any progress?"
He was also present when someone from above asked Gu Yin to attend the press conference, so Cheng Dong knew what Gu Yin was busy with.
Gu Yin nodded: "I'll go first to feed the medicine to the white mouse."
"Is this a new research project for you? Aren't you going to write an application?" Gu Yin used to need to apply through Cheng Dong, but she doesn't need to anymore. However, Cheng Dong was afraid that she might forget, so he mentioned it.
Gu Yin remained expressionless: "I'm already writing it, I'll submit it as soon as it's finished."
In fact, she had no intention of applying, because she was worried that the drug would change genes—no, not just worried, but 99% likely to change them. This topic had already been stopped by the authorities. If she submitted an application now, the experiment would definitely be halted. So she had to take it slow and see if her experiment could achieve what she wanted. If it could, then her application would be fine. If not, then the experiment would be stopped forever and buried forever, and she would never mention it again!
Gu Yin had to admit that she was actually quite crazy at heart, but this madness did not affect her patriotism! If this experiment was feasible, it would be a research topic she would dedicate her life to!
