The Old Professor was surnamed Lin, and was already past his retirement age. The reason he was still teaching at school was because he had a national science topic at his disposal, and needed to discuss it with the graduate students under him.
This topic was related to the research and development of the Human Brain's potential. Because it required a large number of clinical trials, it also had a close relationship with the hospital.
When he saw Duan Lingfei, the Professor Lin actually took the initiative to greet him. It was clear that he had a rather deep impression of this student who was "seriously" listening to his lecture.
"Your name is Duan Lingfei, right?" Old Professor glanced at Su Xiaoqiao who was beside Duan Lingfei and said, "This must be your target of confession!"
"No, no, no …" Without waiting for Duan Lingfei to speak, Su Xiaoqiao's face reddened, and she quickly waved her hand: "We are only pure friends!"
"Alright, there's no need to explain anymore!" The Old Professor laughed meaningfully, "Why have you come to the hospital?"
"There's something wrong with his head!" Su Xiaoqiao rushed to answer, and then explained to him everything that had happened in the past few days: "Professor, I'll leave Duan Lingfei to you. I still have things to do first!"
With that, he slipped away with a red face, not caring whether the Old Professor agreed or not.
"So it's like that …" Old Professor's face revealed an interested expression, and said to the stunned Duan Lingfei: "Come with me, I'll conduct a detailed examination for you!"
Under the Old Professor's lead, Duan Lingfei arrived at a research room at the back of the hospital. The Old Professor first gathered everyone for a short meeting, then a group of researchers wearing white gowns covered Duan Lingfei with countless of complicated electronic equipment.
The entire inspection continued for an hour, then waited for the test results to finish in another hour. Just as Duan Lingfei was getting impatient waiting for the test results, Old Professor finally came back with the test results in hand. He looked at Duan Lingfei as if he was a virgin that had seen a naked beauty after thirty years.
Duan Lingfei was a little scared by his stare, and asked subconsciously, "Professor, am I alright?"
"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Uh, good news!"
"Follow me." The Old Professor waved at Duan Lingfei before bringing him downstairs to the research room's basement.
After two security checks, and after opening a door that was controlled by a fingerprint lock and an iris, Duan Lingfei was brought to a brightly lit laboratory.
There were dozens of researchers wearing white gowns busy doing their work. The surroundings were filled with high-tech equipment that he had never seen before, the most eye-catching being a glass-enclosed transparent room in the middle of the research room. There were a few little Chimpanzee s inside that room who seemed to be in deep sleep.
"Do you still remember my lesson on the development of Human Brain?" Old Professor suddenly asked.
Duan Lingfei nodded.
"This laboratory focuses on some controversial biochemical technology, such as cloning of human beings, biochemical humans, genetic engineering and other projects. As these projects are controversial in society, we built this underground laboratory and carried it out in secret."
"In the past few years, the research room started to turn the direction of the biochemical technology towards the human body's potential. Thus, a research project called the 'Brain Region Project' appeared."
"Because Human Brain can affect all the functions of the human body, including the facial system, nervous system, viscera system, and even more unknown human potential, such as special abilities, photographic memory, physical abilities, explosive power etc. So the" Brain Region Project "is to use this kind of plan to make humans more perfect and powerful."
"Even to a certain extent, we can create Superman if the plan goes well."
As he said these words, Old Professor's eyes flashed with a fanatical light.
Duan Lingfei subconsciously asked, "Then how are the development results?"
"There's been some progress, but it's still a long way from our vision." Old Professor said as he walked to the side of the glass room and shouted into the microphone, "Qi Qi."
As if hearing his call, one of the sleeping little Chimpanzee suddenly opened his eyes, shook his head and stood up, his eyes filled with confusion.
Old Professor pressed a button on the experiment table in front of him, and dozens of different shaped pieces of wood suddenly rose up from the glass room.
The Old Professor then issued an order, "Qi Qi, make these pieces of wood into the shape of a house."
As if being able to understand a person's speech, the little Chimpanzee nodded her head and started to stack the different shapes of the pieces of wood together. After about three minutes, it really formed a simple house.
The Old Professor immediately ordered, "Qi Qi, attack the house in front of you."
Before his voice had even died away, the little Chimpanzee kicked out, kicking down the wooden house that was piled into a pile of wood.
With a "kacha" sound, the pigeon's egg thick wooden stick was sliced into two.
"Enough." The Old Professor said, at the same time he pressed a button, and green mist suddenly emitted from the glass house. After smelling it, the little Chimpanzee's body swayed, and her eyes slowly squinted.
Duan Lingfei opened his mouth wide, what he saw just now completely stunned him.
"As everyone knows, the Chimpanzee is one of the closest animals to humans. Its IQ can reach as high as five to seven year old human children, and its neural field can be developed to about five percent."
"For the past few years, we have been using the Chimpanzee as an on-the-spot experiment, using magnetic fields, radiation, and drugs to stimulate the brain's development. Out of the 300 plus samples of Chimpanzee, 14 of them have had their brains developed further, such as the one you just saw."
"According to my calculations, the brain region development level of these fourteen Chimpanzee s increased up to 11% and the lowest to 8%. And after their 'evolution', both their intelligence and physical fitness have been greatly increased."
Duan Lingfei nodded. From the astonishing scene that he saw just now, he knew that Old Professor was not spouting big words.
"But what we regret is that the brain development of these fourteen Chimpanzee s isn't stable. It can only last for around two to three months.
"Just as each of us may have experienced this, for a period of time we feel particularly good, energetic, clear-headed, and full of energy every day, but after a period of time we will degenerate to normal levels, which is about the same thing."
