Anyway, it was difficult.
What a headache!
Ruan Wenye had even developed a habit of pulling at his hair, and looking at what seemed to be increasingly less of it, he somewhat regretted agreeing to the research collaboration.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay in the office, legs propped up, leisurely sipping tea?
Why make things hard for himself? Despite losing a lot of brain cells, what he got was a sad outcome.
One was no progress at all.
The other was the damaging comparisons—both Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican had performed much better in their research than he had.
Now it was too late for regrets; all he could do was continue with the research, gripping his scalp.
...
Time flew by, and before they knew it, two months had passed.
Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Qican seemed to have gone through years of 996. Zhang Qican appeared to be in better spirits; probably because he was younger, his brain could endure the excessive use.
Ruan Wenye and Huang Zhong, on the other hand, looked like they had aged several years.
Ruan Wenye said with a pained expression to Zhao Yi, "I really regret it—coming to your side...I’ve shaved ten years off my life!"
"Tough, tough!"
With a relaxed smile, Zhao Yi said, "Everyone’s been working hard. Actually, there’s no need for this. You should rest when you need to rest. Health is the most important thing, after all, you’re not like w... *cough cough*."
In fact, Zhao Yi hadn’t expected them to work so hard, pushing themselves into research, working over ten hours a day without a single day off.
He had just established the project team and hadn’t specified working hours, especially for Ruan Wenye’s group, which was doing theoretical research and didn’t even have specific work protocols.
So if they wanted to rest, they could. No "leader" would come over to accuse them of laziness or anything, and a salary deduction was even less likely.
Zhao Yi quickly reminded the three not to overwork themselves. He thought for a moment then said, "How about this? You all take a break, until the experiment starts. We don’t need to research anything in the recent stage."
Ruan Wenye immediately asked, "Is it the photon anti-gravity experiment?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yi nodded, confirming, "At that time, anyone who wants to come see it can."
"Of course I’m going!"
"I’m going, too!"
Zhang Qican said directly, "It would be such a waste not to."
"Alright then, you’ll all come with me when the time comes."
Zhao Yi decided.
During this period, Zhao Yi was not busy. He just reviewed the results of Ruan Wenye and the other two but did not engage in any research himself. Theoretical things can’t be completed by research alone, and he was more looking forward to the photon anti-gravity experiment, as the experiment would add a wealth of conditions.
In the past two months, Zhao Yi had not only kept an eye on the anti-gravity research but also taken out time to go to the medical center laboratories for research on neural signal transmission.
This research made significant progress; through continuous experiments, they had discovered the feedback process between central and tactile nerves.
In the original understanding, nerve signals consisted of numerous nodules of tactile nerves that transmitted to the central nervous system for analysis. However, the research from Zhao Yi’s lab found that after receiving the signals, the central nervous system would react quickly and give a ’receipt.’
The ’receipt’ is accomplished by a ’backpropagation’ of the electric level within the nerve cells.
Zhang Wei even conducted an interview for this discovery and gave a detailed description, "When tactile nerves are activated, they send information to the central nervous system. The transmission process is mainly electrical."
"The central nervous system or sub-central nodes, once they receive the information, will transmit the information back along the path the signal took."
"This is the ’receipt.’"
"The purpose of the ’receipt’ is to make judgments, specifically which tactile nerve sent the message. Only when the nerve excitation reaches the central nervous system and a judgment is made is the entire process of tactile response complete."
"It might sound complicated, but let’s take a simple example to understand—like when some doctors give injections that don’t hurt, and sometimes it’s over before you even realize it."
"That’s because the needle moves so fast that it only just activates the tactile nerves. By the time the central nervous system sends back the ’receipt’ signal, it finds the tactile nerve is no longer excited. Without any interim damage that could keep exciting the tactile nerve, no pain is triggered at the injection site."
Zhang Wei’s explanation was straightforward and easy to understand. If you think about it carefully, it’s almost conceivable. freёwebnoѵel.com
The discovery might not sound like much, and it seemed similar statements existed before, but proving the process was still very complex.
First was detecting the receipt signal because the speed of the central nervous system’s receipt was so fast and it was unclear exactly how it gave a ’receipt,’ requiring continuous experiments and post-analytic findings to confirm in new experiments.
Moreover, the biological level was very important. The groups led by Li Ming and Ai Lixin, conducting nerve cell research, filled the gaps in the biological basis of Zhang Wei’s group. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The work of the two groups combined to complete this achievement.
When the results were published, top international medical journals considered the findings to be a significant advancement in medical research.
Such fundamental research is most important; with a solid foundation, more high-end research can be pursued. Otherwise, without foundational support, even high-end research might lead to various mistakes.
All subjects are the same, be it mathematics, physics, biology, etc. For each kind of research, the foundation is the most important, and it is also the most difficult to study.
