After Zhang Yuan completed the data analysis, he sent the reports one by one to outside researchers. These young doctors were astonished because the other side was sending out a report almost every ten minutes!
They couldn't match the speed of reading these reports and verifying the results, compared to how quickly the reports were produced. What's the point of working if one person can complete all this data analysis alone!
"It's truly incredible, did everyone see it? Research output at this speed, without taking short breaks, without generating boredom, and showing no fatigue... it's a miracle!"
"Unless it's necessary, everyone, please do not disturb Professor Zhang. Just record everything you observe."
These young doctors were eagerly observing, the most advanced "technological masterpiece" in the history of the New Human Civilization.
"No wonder those professors are so enthusiastic..."
"Actually, I also kind of want to become like this... even if it means giving up some of the current human desires."
"I want it too!"
"I... I need to think about it."
This young doctor felt very conflicted because he was in a sweet romance and really liked his partner.
He was a bit afraid that after transformation, he would suddenly lose desire for this aspect and no longer like his partner.
This dislike is indeed possible because the NT new human love mechanism leans more towards intellectual resonance rather than physical attraction. Of course, he could set certain thought modules to trigger a degree of physical desire... but psychologically, it feels a bit awkward.
"Dr. Ding, what are you contemplating? Could it be that you are giving up the transformation for your new girlfriend? It's like picking up sesame seeds and dropping a watermelon. There are only double-digit slots for transformation per year."
"Understandable, understandable, Dr. Ding probably can't overcome his physiological desires."
"A girlfriend this pretty shouldn't be given up."
Several colleagues joked, making the young doctor blush, not knowing how to retort.
Just at that moment, a piece of information popped up on the screen. The staff's attention was immediately drawn to another matter.
After a while, after discussions, one worker typed: "Professor Zhang, sorry to bother you, but the other 8 experimenters have gradually awakened. Their condition is not as good as yours... They are currently in a state with triple thought speed, but a series of risks have already emerged, so we haven't continued the experiment."
"Do you have any good suggestions for this?"
"Can we conduct a data analysis on this?"
Zhang Yuan paused his work. Of course, he wasn't very happy to be interrupted.
He thought that he should finish the parallel multi-process work quickly so that he wouldn't be interrupted so abruptly.
He also recorded his "not very happy" feeling because any emotional fluctuation is a good reference for humans.
Zhang Yuan typed a string of words: "What problems have occurred?"
"One experimenter had large emotional fluctuations; a few others showed tendencies of withdrawal and refused to communicate. Also, one of them, for some reason, showed disorientation when thought speed reached twice that of an ordinary person."
"Send the data over, and I'll handle the anomalies. Since I'm free anyway, I hope they can recover sooner."
Zhang Yuan furrowed his brows, continually pondering in his mind.
Such circumstances were expected. Before the experiment, Zhang Yuan's modification method was self-designed, whereas the others needed to be designed on their behalf.
Due to differences in personal memory and character modules, some subtle differences are inevitable. So, Zhang Yuan could currently accelerate two hundred times, while others could only reach the triple level.
The young female doctor, with a complex expression, transmitted the materials. Having just graduated a few months ago, she felt both scared and intrigued by this unknown state.
About half an hour passed, and a large amount of data stream appeared on the screen, at a speed that was incredibly fast. This was all data output by Professor Zhang, which would require at least three hundred assistants to keep up with.
"This is the future form of humanity, hahaha! Probably, problems like these could be solved in one night now. In the past, it might have taken several months!"
A young expert nearby once again fell into a state of fervor.
"But... will the public really accept it?" the female colleague asked, "From a philosophical point of view, has the past Professor Zhang... already died?"
She turned to look at the hibernation chamber, where Zhang Yuan's body was frozen, having lost self-awareness, and was now in a vegetative state.
The new Zhang Yuan had already been uploaded into the computer, completing the first step of thought transformation.
The difference is too significant between the past and the present. No matter how intelligent the past Zhang Yuan was, he never transcended, remaining within the human domain, but now... she truly felt it crossed that line markedly. Regular humans could never catch up.
"Don't worry so much! Maybe, after a nap, the past you has already died once?"
"Not everyone needs to accept it; don't we have an Alliance? Adding a new species is actually acceptable..."
The supporter whispered, "Those who don't accept the transformation remain traditional humans; those who do become NT new humans. To make a qualitative change, we always need to forsake some population..."
"Do you think it's possible for everyone to accept change? With a billion people."
The woman understood her colleague's meaning; the Alliance is still the original Alliance, but in the future, humanity may split into two...
In summary, past humans and future humans can still coexist.
But for some reason, she shivered unconsciously... Was this a worry about a stronger species, or... a primal fear of humans facing a higher-order organism?
Is the meaning of human existence really to create a stronger species?
Unclear, but since this step has been taken, regardless of confusion or anxiety, the way forward must go on, and there's no turning back.
Perhaps... she thought for a while and couldn't figure out anything, so she could only continue her work.
The night quickly passed...
When Yamamoto Ichiro and other scientific experts returned to work, they were greeted with the realization that Zhang Yuan had already completed the majority of data analysis work. All they needed to do was execute these things.
Of course, due to safety regulations, Zhang Yuan currently only had the authority to organize data and couldn't operate laboratory instruments.
"Haha, Old Zhang, you've really surprised me!"
"In 8 hours, you completed 1600 hours of work, without tiring or fatigue... Such efficiency is insanely high! You're simply a perfect tool person!"
"In the past, it might have taken the lab a week to organize this."
Yamamoto was naturally enthusiastic about this but also shook his head decisively and sighed.
Yes, the human mission ends here.
"Tool person?" a professor rudely remarked, "If the experiment is successful, I think more political rights should be given to NT new humans!"
"Such a new species can only lead itself. Why should humans lead NT new humans? It's like monkeys leading humans. Over time, humans naturally resist."
Someone quickly reassured everyone: "Alright, alright, let's not talk politics. This is sensitive content. Let's only discuss science here."
Yamamoto asked, "How do you feel tonight? Several experimenters had significant emotional fluctuations!"
"Not too boring, data organization work gives a small sense of accomplishment. Because it involves unknown knowledge, it brings me joy," Zhang Yuan replied, "During which I didn't seem to realize I needed a break... I think I can rest a bit now."
"By the way, I also wrote some emotional reports during the process."
Zhang Yuan stretched in the virtual world, then enjoyed a Golden Spicy Chicken Roasted Rice Bun. Food wasn't necessary but was a form of entertainment.
"The greater sense of accomplishment is in exploring and discovering more unknown things. If we encountered a civilization unknown to us, unlike anything encountered before, it might trigger even more interest."
