"Dr. Shen, I want to ask you a question."
In the base of Tianji Bureau in the Mobei Desert, in the still-busy ES laboratory, Gu Jun was knocking on the sidelines of Dr. Shen. This morning, Master Tong went to pick up the assessment team so he was not there. He finally found a chance to talk to Dr. Shen.
"What? Excuse me." Dr. Shen was still so kind.
"I know that the ES community has been doing research on 'lucid dreaming'." Gu Jun asked, and Wu Shiyu was listening beside him, "I want to ask if there are any experiments and training related to dreams, so that our mental power, superpower Can perception be improved?"
Dr. Shen pushed the glasses on his nose, and replied earnestly: "Lucid dreaming is a big field. But I didn't arrange this kind of project for you this special training, because you need real sleep after mental training to let your brain Rest the cortex well. Otherwise, it will be harmful. If our research can continue, we will gradually let you try lucid dreaming."
"Then..." Gu Jun was thinking about what to ask. Whenever he thought of that poster this month, he always felt a strange and uneasy feeling.
"Listen to the voice of the dream with your heart", this sentence stuck in his throat like a fishbone.
Wu Shiyu looked at him and grinned helplessly. She was really cowardly and asked directly: "Dr. Shen, is it possible to receive any information from the dream? It doesn't have to be sent by humans, like a signal from the universe?"
Gu Jun glanced at her, and said to her silently in his heart: You deserve a beating, can you hear that? Can you hear it
Obviously, Wu Shiyu didn't hear it, and probably pretended not to hear it.
"Shiyu, Ah Jun." Dr. Shen sighed with a smile, "I understand that you are trying to improve your mental power and figure out ES, but what. Existing medicine has very limited understanding of the human brain. Psychiatry Neurology and neurology are all weaknesses. Let alone dreams and extrasensory perception, we can't even clarify the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease."
Although the current job is being studied by others, Gu Jun is also a medical student, so he couldn't help but nodded.
Alzheimer's disease is commonly known as senile dementia, a neurodegenerative disease, the most common type of dementia in old age. However, since the first reported case at the beginning of the 20th century, the global medical community has been studying this disease for hundreds of years, and countless large pharmaceutical companies and large laboratories have done countless studies.
Its pathogenesis is still uncertain, from genetics, parasites, prions, abnormal metabolism... β-amyloid protein waterfall hypothesis, tau protein theory... low education, high blood pressure, high blood sugar... I have tried everything, Just can't determine the cause.
As soon as Gu Jun thought about it, he felt a little cold, because this is actually a very terrifying thing.
Is Alzheimer's disease contagious? This is still an unknown, and there are research hypotheses in this area, and there is a certain possibility.
Even if there is, Alzheimer's disease is not explosively contagious, for the time being...
Otherwise, for humans on Earth, this may be a hemoptysis.
"So Master Tong and I are also crossing the river by feeling the stones." Dr. Shen said again, encouraging the two of them: "Don't be impatient, haste makes waste. With your current mental strength, it should be enough for this assessment gone."
"No, Dr. Shen, you don't understand at all." Wu Shiyu said softly.
Gu Jun shrugged his shoulders to her, don't ask, it seems that Dr. Shen doesn't know.
This morning, the two did not train, but spent in quiet meditation, and Dr. Shen asked them to recharge their batteries.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the assessment team arrived at the base.
Dr. Shen led three members of the problem team and a group of experimenters at the gate of the medical building to welcome Master Tong and the other party.
When Gu Jun saw a group of people striding forward, he immediately noticed the group of more than 30 people wearing the same uniform.
That was their opponent this time, the "Inspector Squad".
According to Dr. Shen's previous introduction and the internal information of the Tianji Bureau, this is an old mobile task force belonging to the headquarters, with about 30 regular members, all of whom are highly intelligent and proficient in psychology. , The evaluation department draws.
Because the position of the inspector team is to provide technical support such as psychology, S-value test, and psychoanalysis. When there is a large-scale mission that requires several mobile task forces and hundreds or thousands of colleagues from the Operation Department to be dispatched at the same time, the inspector team will join as an auxiliary team.
But this time, according to Lord Tong, these inspectors are here to play games.
Gu Jun glanced at them. There are more than thirty people, both men and women, all over 30 years old, and they are very bright and handsome in the unique uniform of the team. - To improve cohesion, some MTFs can have their own uniforms, but not problem squads.
Everyone's eyes were calm and confident, and when they saw him looking at him, they all nodded their heads.
Master Tong and several leaders of the assessment team stopped to point and talk, but from the surrounding entourage, Gu Jun saw two old acquaintances.
One is Professor Qin, and the other is Yao Shinian, the former commander-in-chief of the emergency response team of Gurong Village, whom he knew before entering the Banyan Tree Cave.
"Professor Qin, Commander Yao." Gu Jun didn't care about that much, and went up to greet the two acquaintances.
"Ah Jun, I haven't had a chance to talk to you since the last mission." Yao Shinian's gray hair and slightly haggard old face is much older than the Commander Yao in Gu Jun's memory, "You just completed the mission. I sent you here for special training again, thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing." Gu Jun dared to say hard work in front of these two old people.
He has already seen that Professor Qin is also aging a lot, and his brows are a little wrinkled, not as calm as when he saw him off a month ago.
"Professor Qin, is Dongzhou okay?" His heart sank, with a bad feeling.
"It's not very good." Professor Qin sighed suddenly, full of exhaustion, "Ah Jun, in the past week, the number of people who committed suicide by jumping from buildings in Dongzhou has increased by five times, and the psychiatry and neurology departments of the hospital are full of patients. Patients. A new type of neurodegenerative disease has appeared, and no effective treatment has been found, and the pathogenesis is still unclear, and it seems to be related to a contagious nightmare."
Gu Jun felt cold all over his body, his eyes opened slightly, and the Alzheimer's disease that he was worried about in the morning emerged in his heart...
Contagious nightmare? What is the pathogenesis
For some reason, he remembered the sentence on the wall newspaper, "Listen to the voice of dreams with your heart".
