"Let's talk about Cereus first."
"Let's talk about Cereus first."
Huo Shaoheng brought her to the cave where the submarine was placed.
Last night, Gu Nianzhi had followed Huo Shaoheng here, and her world had turned upside down.
She thought of the holographic portrait of her father she had seen yesterday, and the fluorescent "Cereus" above the submarine in the video.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the submarine for a long time.
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and led her into the submarine again.
The details that she hadn't noticed yesterday gradually appeared before Gu Nianzhi's eyes.
The deep corridor was covered with a thick carpet, and the dome of the corridor was painted with interesting cats and dogs. It was like a children's paradise.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and thought bitterly, had she ever been here when she was young?
A long time ago, was there a chubby little girl who ran here and there with her little feet tapping and giggling?
Was there a tall and handsome man standing at the end of the hallway, looking at her with a face full of love …?
Gu Nianzhi was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was like an irrelevant bystander. She stood at the side and watched the scene of a loving father and a loving daughter.
At that moment, she was so envious. She was so envious of this carefree little girl who was pampered and pampered by her parents.
Although this little girl should be her, when she was young, right?
But in the blink of an eye, her mind was occupied by the overwhelming blue seawater …
Her head hurt like needles. Her vision was blurry, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.
Huo Shaoheng noticed her condition in time.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Huo Shaoheng reached out and gently placed his arm on her shoulder to steady her. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you still not feeling well? Why don't we go back and rest for two days? "
After this mission, Huo Shaoheng asked General Ji for a month's vacation. He planned to spend it all with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth and shook her head. "I'm fine. I probably didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little dizzy."
"Let's go back." Huo Shaoheng didn't allow any explanation. He picked Gu Nianzhi up again and walked out of the submarine.
Chen Lie saw that they had just gone in and come out again. Gu Nianzhi's face was pale as she lay in Huo Shaoheng's arms. He asked in surprise, "Is the nitrogen inside still not cleared? No, we've been in there many times. "
"It shouldn't be nitrogen." Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi's tightly shut face and gave Chen Lie a look. "Check her again."
Chen Lie understood and quickly carried the medical kit. He followed Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng to the suite on the third floor.
Yin Shixiong was outside preparing to transport Gu Xiangwen and his wife's bodies back to the Imperial Capital for burial. Xiao Ye had already moved out of the suite and moved into a standard room on the second floor.
Therefore, only Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi, and Chen Lie came in.
Chen Lie took out another set of equipment and carefully examined Gu Nianzhi's condition.
"No fever."
"Heartbeat, pulse, and blood pressure are normal."
Chen Lie looked at the data in the instrument and muttered to himself. He frowned and said, "… There's no problem?"
"Could it be that you really didn't sleep well?" Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly. "Then rest first."
In order not to disturb Gu Nianzhi's sleep, Huo Shaoheng pulled down the curtains on the French windows. The bedroom was suddenly pitch-black.
The soundproof glass was also very effective.
The sound of the waves outside could not be heard inside the house.
The surroundings were abnormally quiet.
Gu Nianzhi fell into a deep sleep.
She was indeed very tired.
She didn't wake up until the next morning. She had slept for a full 12 hours.
Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie came in to check on her several times. They only left after confirming that she was fine.
Chen Lie's equipment had been placed in the room to observe her condition.
That night, Gu Nianzhi's other physical data were normal. Only her brain data was abnormal.
Looking at the data report printed out by his equipment, Chen Lie came to look for Huo Shaoheng.
"Major General Huo, take a look at this." Chen Lie placed Gu Nianzhi's brain data report in front of Huo Shaoheng. "This time, Nianzhi was too shocked. I found that the damaged cells in her hippocampus have begun to metabolize."
The hippocampus was a key part of the human brain that was responsible for memory. It usually appeared in pairs.
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. He took the data report from Chen Lie. "You mean, it's possible that she regained her memory before she was 12 years old?"
Chen Lie shook his head regretfully and said, "On the contrary, that part of her memory is in the process of being permanently lost."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
He looked down at Chen Lie's report. "Speak human language."
Chen Lie glared at Huo Shaoheng, but he still accepted his fate and explained, "We've carefully studied Nianzhi's physical condition before."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I remember."
"… Ever since she was rescued by you when she was 12 years old, I realized that the hippocampus in her brain was very developed." Chen Lie paused and didn't continue. Instead, he drew a circle on the data report, meaning that the hippocampus in Gu Nianzhi's brain was twice the size of an ordinary person's.
People with a developed hippocampus had a very good memory.
"Nianzhi has a photographic memory, mainly because the hippocampus in her brain is very developed." Chen Lie pointed at the data report. "But because she once suffered a huge shock, a part of the hippocampus in her brain was severely damaged. It was like a hard disk that was broken."
"I told you, this is why she can't remember her memories before she was 12 years old."
Huo Shaoheng looked up and looked at Chen Lie coldly. "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Chen Lie spread out his hands and said helplessly, "Let me finish. Previously, this part of the area was damaged. I used to think that as long as it was active again, Nianzhi would be able to recover her memories before she was 12 years old. "
"But after this major stimulation, that part of her hippocampus was indeed stimulated to become active again. However, it's like a hard disk that has a problem. When you reactivate this hard disk, you don't use data repair, but hard disk formatting. "
Huo Shaoheng frowned even more. "What do you mean? If her brain is really like a hard disk that has a problem, why isn't it data repair? Why does it have to be hard disk formatted? "
"Because her brain chose to format itself." Chen Lie didn't understand why either. "I can only tell from the data I've observed that the part of her hippocampus that was originally in a damaged state is starting to become active. It's all relying on new cells. The cells that were previously damaged have all been metabolized."
"To be precise, it's the huge stimulation of the past few days that has accelerated the metabolism of that part of the hippocampus."
"When all the metabolism is completed, that part of her damaged hippocampus is equivalent to a hard disk formatting completed. The old information is completely overwritten, and new memory cells are in a new state."
Chen Lie finished speaking and clicked his tongue. "Her memory is already heaven-defying. This time, it's even more heaven-defying. I don't even know how high her IQ will reach in the future."
Huo Shaoheng wasn't worried about this. He casually placed a hand on the data report and said nonchalantly, "It's just a good memory. No matter how high her IQ is, without the corresponding EQ, she'll at most be like you. How good can she be?"
"Hey! Don't hit me in the face! "Chen Lie blushed." How am I not good?! How is my EQ not high?! Just because I'm single, you're mocking me like this! "
He suddenly thought of Ye Zitan, and his words stopped abruptly.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and understood what he was thinking.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the data report and said, "Then you mean that her dizziness now is a side effect of the damaged part of the hippocampus restarting its metabolism?"
"You can say that, but it still depends on her own reaction." Chen Lie sat in front of Huo Shaoheng resentfully. "When she wakes up, ask her if there's anything different in her brain. Or you can give her a test to see if her reaction has changed. "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head and refused. "I'm not interested in the change in her IQ. I just want to know if she'll recover her memory."
"No," Chen Lie said firmly. "As the damaged part of her hippocampus reactivates, new cells replace the original cells, and that part of her previous memory will be lost forever."
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Lie comforted him, "What are you still worried about? Anyway, her parents have already been found. This time, it's really her parents. I've already done a DNA test. Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter is real. "
They wanted Gu Nianzhi to recover her memory because they wanted to find out her background.
Now that her background had been revealed, it didn't matter whether she recovered her memory or not.
Huo Shaoheng still had an indescribable worry. "Is it really okay?"
"No problem, look for me if there's a problem!" Chen Lie thumped his chest loudly.
Gu Nianzhi woke up at that moment and called out from the bedroom, "Is Brother Chen outside?"
She woke up and called out to Chen Lie, not Huo Shaoheng.
Chen Lie was very pleased to see Huo Shaoheng trying his best to act nonchalant.
He stood up with a smile and said loudly, "I'm here, and so is Major General Huo!"
Gu Nianzhi seemed to be startled and said, "I'm still a little uncomfortable. Can Brother Chen come in and help me check?"
"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll be right there. "Chen Lie ran in happily.
…
"Brother Chen, close the door." Gu Nianzhi sat on the bed, her messy long hair draped over her body, and there were traces of sweat on her forehead.
Chen Lie gently closed the door and walked to Gu Nianzhi's bed to sit down. He asked in confusion, "Nianzhi, what do you want to say to me?"
It was obvious that Gu Nianzhi only wanted to tell him and not Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her forehead and pursed her lips. She said softly, "Brother Chen, I've been having a dream since yesterday."
"What did you dream of?" Chen Lie was excited.
Could the newborn hippocampal cells promote the production of dreams?
Or was it that the hippocampal cells intersected during metabolism, so that part of the old memories were still retained?!
Any one of these theses could win a Nobel Prize!
Gu Nianzhi put down her hand and saw Chen Lie's round eyes shining with excitement behind his glasses. She couldn't help but be speechless.
After a while, she said, "Don't think too much. There's actually nothing much. I just dreamed of the sea over and over again. The blue sea, the sea that was like a cradle. "
The color of the sea was too rich and bright. It wasn't the blue-green sea here, but the sea that reflected the blue-purple electric light she had seen in the Caribbean blue hole.
She added, "… It seems that the surrounding situation is also very similar to the Caribbean blue hole."
Chen Lie was extremely disappointed when he heard this.
Since the dream was a scene that Gu Nianzhi had seen after she was 12 years old, it had nothing to do with the "hippocampal memory intersecting theory" that he had just come up with.
"This should be the aftereffect of your stress stimulation," Chen Lie explained listlessly. Chen Lie explained listlessly, "Because the electric shock you received in the Blue Hole in the Caribbean Sea was roughly the same as the stimulation you received this time, so you will have selective associations. It's not a big problem. You'll be fine after some rest. "
Gu Nianzhi also felt that this should be the reason.
But there was one thing that she didn't tell Chen Lie, and she didn't know who to tell.
Because in her dream, the perspective of the overwhelming seawater was very strange.
Sometimes, it seemed like she had personally experienced the scene, but sometimes, it was from a bystander's perspective.
And the time was very short. Every time it happened, it was fleeting.
Like a light bulb that was constantly being switched on and off, the colorful blue-purple seawater flashed in and out of her dream quickly, making her exhausted and dizzy.
