Chapter 1075 Reluctant to Leave
Hypnosis, of course it can hypnotize!
Many people overlook one thing: if Zhang Heping can easily construct a vast virtual dream in a biological brain and a regenerative brain, can't he also construct a false dream in the human brain and directly affect the subconscious of others?
The answer is obviously yes, but Zhang Heping has never shown it or revealed it to anyone.
Otherwise, how will he promote brain-computer interface devices in the future?
Look at the current state of affairs: existing brain-computer interface devices only demonstrate the ability to continuously influence the subconscious of brain-computer interface users, thereby achieving a hypnotic effect, which has already made many people wary.
If he tells Hua Lao and the others that he can use strong hypnosis, how can they get along in the future?
On the other hand, while Hua Lao and his group were wary of Zhang Heping's ability to effectively hypnotize others, they were using the brain-computer interface device that Zhang Heping had given them to continuously instill what they considered to be correct ideas into those brain-computer interface users, which was quite reminiscent of the saying "the magistrate can set fires, but the common people cannot light lamps."
Zhang Heping glanced at his watch, then stood up to end the meeting. "I'm going to give a lecture. You guys can discuss whether or not to hypnotize these Americans. I'll find an excuse to send them to the library later."
After Zhang Heping left, the office fell silent again.
After a while, Vice President Qian and Vice President Deng took their leave one after another. Only then did Elder Hua instruct the guard, Xiao Qin, to close the door and prevent others from approaching.
Under Director Wang's furrowed brows, Old Hua picked up his phone, which was lying on the table to his right, turned up the volume, and spoke into the video chat that was always on:
"As you all heard, I asked very directly at the end, and since Consultant Zhang didn't answer directly, there was nothing I could do."
Judging from this posture, and combined with what just happened, it's obvious that Elder Hua is testing Zhang Heping on behalf of the person on the other end of the video call.
"We'll have to trouble Mr. Hua to follow up on this matter again. Until we figure out whether Consultant Zhang's brain-computer interface has a powerful hypnotic function, we'll have to be on high alert every day." The voice on the other end of the video call rang out on the phone.
Although Director Wang was furious at those people's suspicions, he refrained from doing so at this meeting due to discipline.
It wasn't until Mr. Hua exchanged a few polite words and hung up the video call that Director Wang complained, "If you're so afraid of this and that, you might as well not use it at all!"
"Peace didn't beg them to use it!" Director Wang turned his head to the other side, refusing to look at Elder Hua. "They were the ones who practically begged for the brain-computer interface, and not only did they not pay a single penny, they deliberately found fault!"
"Alright, it's just a perfunctory gesture!" Old Hua said with a wry smile, "I placed the phone on the raised texture of the table, revealing the screen's light, and pointed the microphone at Heping. Even Vice Dean Qian and Vice Dean Deng noticed something was wrong and didn't say a word the whole time. How could Heping not have noticed?"
Director Wang retorted, "Even if the brain-computer interface device developed by Heping has a powerful hypnotic function, does that mean they won't use it?"
"We gave them the whole set of equipment, but none of them knew how to verify it themselves, making us ask them instead. They're just causing us trouble!"
Old Hua picked up his teacup and said with a hint of helplessness, "Only after we've dealt with this matter can we talk to them about Zhaodi and Pandi's promotions."
"With December fast approaching, if the employment issue for these two sisters isn't resolved soon, the medical staff at Heping Hospital will collapse from exhaustion and go on strike!"
……
Today, those who came to listen to Zhang Heping talk about space locking technology included not only 103 Americans, but also teachers and students from major universities in Guangdong Province.
Just as Zhang Heping entered the indoor stadium and began greeting the audience, representatives from the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission, various health bureaus, and hospitals, accompanied by relevant personnel from the Shenzhen Municipal Health Bureau, arrived at the entrance of Heping Hospital.
The director of the Health Commission frowned as he looked at the two long lines of people outside the hospital. "I heard that there are people queuing up all day long to get the Longevity 120 injection, even during typhoon days."
"It's not that exaggerated!" A Shenzhen health bureau official explained with a laugh, "During the typhoon, the injections were conducted simultaneously at the hospital and the restaurant across the street; there was no queue outside!"
"Since you can get vaccinated at the hotel across the street during a typhoon, why don't you get vaccinated there after the weather clears up?" The director of the Health Commission asked casually, but his eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Zhang Zhaodi to his side and behind.
A Shenzhen health bureau official said with a forced smile, "During the typhoon, the restaurants across the street didn't have much business. After communicating with the restaurant manager, we were able to use their space for free."
"At that time, in order to ensure the safety of those elderly people and patients, we added bricks and stones as ballast in the luggage compartment under the buses that transported them. Then we went to various hotels and guesthouses to pick up people, one truckload at a time, and brought them here for injections. Then we sent them back one truckload at a time."
The director of the Health Commission clearly didn't want to hear this answer, while the head of the Shenzhen Municipal Health Bureau was eager to take credit and didn't pay any attention to the other party's expression.
The group stood at the door for a while before the acting dean, Wang Shouren, and two male doctors came out to greet them.
"I'm sorry, leaders, I just had an operation and didn't see the message that you were coming to inspect!" Wang Shouren stepped forward quickly and extended his right hand to the old man at the head of the group.
These people hadn't informed Heping Hospital beforehand, and given Heping Hospital's special background and operations, the director of the Health Commission couldn't be too arrogant. He smiled and extended his right hand, saying, "We didn't inform Director Wang beforehand; please don't be offended by our abrupt arrival!"
"Director Zeng, you're too kind. We're actually very happy to have you here to guide our work!" Dean Wang said, smiling at the other familiar members of his entourage. "The leaders who visited last time were a great help to us!"
"Without the large number of medical staff coordinated by our leaders, our hospital's doctors and nurses would have collapsed from exhaustion on the job!"
"Distinguished leaders, this way please!"
"Dean Wang, it's not a long-term solution to keep the Lifespan 120 medication being administered at your hospital!" the director of Guancheng Hospital remarked to the crowd.
"Let's go inside and talk! Let's go inside and talk!" Dean Wang of Peace Hospital did not give a direct answer to this matter.
Wang Shouren had mentioned to Zhang Heping about distributing the Shouyuan 120 medication to other hospitals for injection, but Zhang Heping only said "I know" and then there was no further news.
As time passed, Wang Shouren heard some rumors and roughly understood the reason behind it. That's why he stopped asking Zhang Heping about the dispersed injection and instead started borrowing people from other hospitals.
In fact, when he was borrowing people, he made it sound very nice, telling those medical staff to go to Heping Hospital first to familiarize themselves with the Shouyuan 120 drug injection procedure, in order to prepare for future decentralized injections and save training time.
That statement alone didn't get him many medical staff. It wasn't until he dispersed the cancer patients without beds to other hospitals, allowing them to receive rehabilitation treatment for those cancer patients who had been injected with the Life-Generating 120 drug, that the other hospitals started to earn money. That's how the five-shift medical injection team came to be.
"Dean Li!"
"Thank you, Dean Xie!"
"Dean Tang!"
"Director Qin!"
The nurses who had been temporarily transferred here greeted their respective hospital leaders as they passed by, their enthusiasm overflowing, as if they were seeing family.
Unfortunately, few of the nurses were remembered by these leaders.
Wang Shouren led these people upstairs for a tour, and then it was lunchtime.
Secretary Chen, who is in charge of the production of the Lifespan 120 drug, was specially invited over, and unsurprisingly, the conversation turned to the pilot program in Guangdong Province for the decentralized injection of the Lifespan 120 drug!
Because the dining location was on the second floor of the Peace Hotel, and there were many American spies nearby, and given that Zhang Zhaodi's matter had not been resolved, Secretary Chen tried to make an excuse.
"Secretary Chen!" Director Zeng from the Health Commission leaned closer and whispered, "I remember you said before that you might add production lines before the New Year."
"It's already November. If we don't start the pilot program for decentralized injections soon, we might make mistakes in the rush once your production ramps up!"
Secretary Chen glanced at Zhang Zhaodi, who was sitting at another table, and chuckled softly, "Who does Director Zeng want to promote this dispersed injection program?"
Director Zeng was a sensible man. Following Secretary Chen's gaze, he lowered his voice even further and said, "We also want Comrade Zhang Zhaodi to do this job, but someone has been holding back her transfer application."
"How many times have you submitted your application? How many times this month?" Secretary Chen withdrew her gaze, picked up the small wine glass in front of her, and said calmly, "If your department isn't good enough, can't you switch to another department?"
"As long as this is piloted in Guangdong Province first, you'll have plenty of work to do, and you'll naturally receive a lot of credit. What do you say?"
Director Zeng raised his glass with both hands, clinked it against Secretary Chen's, and said, seemingly gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Secretary Chen. I will report this to the leadership later..."
"Hey! Don't mention me!" Secretary Chen hurriedly pressed down on the other person's wine glass, saying sternly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not wanting to eat with you again!"
"I won't say! I won't say! I promise I won't say!" Director Zeng chuckled, holding his wine glass. He lowered the rim and clinked it against Secretary Chen's glass before downing it in one gulp.
Secretary Chen obliged and drank it, but after finishing his glass, he stood up, poured more wine, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry about today! Many experts and professors from other departments have come to the academy, and I have to go back and keep an eye on things; this glass is just a small token of my apology. Please enjoy yourselves!"
"Secretary Chen, you're too kind. We are honored that you could take the time to come. Don't you all agree?" Director Zeng hurriedly stood up, took the wine glass that Secretary Chen had filled, and then looked at the others.
The others were all seasoned veterans of officialdom, so they dared not remain seated and all raised their glasses.
After everyone had finished a drink and escorted Secretary Chen outside the restaurant, they sat down again.
Immediately afterwards, Director Zeng picked up his wine glass, walked over to Zhang Zhaodi's table, and started talking about how many vegetative patients Zhang Zhaodi had successfully revived at the Shenzhen Brain-Computer Intervention Research Center, which she had previously managed...
Having received a tip from Secretary Chen, Director Zeng dared not urge Zhang Zhaodi to drink, and instead reminded the others to drink less, citing the need to work in the afternoon.
Compared to the obstacles faced by her elder sister, Cheung Chiu-ti, in her transfer, Cheung Pan-ti's work on Hong Kong Island has been much simpler recently.
During her time back on Hong Kong Island, she was accompanied by a female bodyguard posing as her secretary. She would review past files at the Department of Justice, sit in the conference room and listen to meetings. If she didn't understand something, she would ask others. No one seemed to give her any trouble.
……
When Zhang Heping was explaining the principles of space-locking technology in the morning, the American experts who came to listen all said they couldn't understand Chinese and hoped that Zhang Heping would speak in English.
Then, Zhang Heping arranged for someone to send the 100 Americans who couldn't understand Chinese to the library, where Li Tong and several teachers from D School taught them Chinese in a virtual learning dream.
As for the remaining three American experts, since they hadn't left, Zhang Heping assumed they could understand Chinese and then continued with his public lecture.
When Zhang Heping gave his first public lecture on space locking technology, he had already recorded a video.
However, he spoke rather casually back then, so it couldn't be used as an instructional video.
In addition, in order to attract the Americans to open up the research project on the levitation hammer, those videos were not made public.
This time, a video was also recorded. Zhang Heping did not want to give the 100 American experts a lecture again, so he planned to give them a CD after the lecture so that they could take it back to the United States to study and ask the experts sent from the mainland if they had any questions.
So Zhang Heping gave a lecture in the morning, and in the afternoon he had representatives of teachers and students from the School of Foreign Languages go to the library with the Americans to experience the virtual learning dream.
What should have been a half-day lesson was stretched out into a week by him, who crammed in numerous proofs, formulas, and data models.
On the evening of November 19, Zhang Heping had a box of CDs delivered to the Peace Hotel and asked the front desk to give them to the American experts.
The following morning, those Americans were unable to enter the World Advanced Technology Research Institute.
Meanwhile, He Zheng led a team of experts who had gone to the United States to study the levitation hammer to the Peace Hotel, asking when these Americans would return to the United States to continue their research on the levitation hammer.
"Professor Zhu!" The head of the US expert team stepped forward, shook hands with the head of the mainland expert team, and said sincerely, "Space locking technology is a completely new technology. Although my two colleagues and I have been attending classes these past few days, there are many technical terms and sentences that we don't understand."
"Could you help us talk to Dean Zhang and ask if we can stay and continue our studies for a while longer?"
"Professor Smith, if you have any questions, you can ask us first!" Professor Zhu, the head of the mainland expert team, smiled and said, "Even if I can't answer them, you can consult Dean Zhang online through video calls in the laboratory later."
"In addition, I heard that Dean Zhang copied the videos of the open classes over the past few days onto CDs and sent them to you. You can take the CDs back and study them at your own pace."
"We've got the discs," Professor Smith, head of the US expert team, said with difficulty. "But as you can see, many of my colleagues don't understand Chinese."
"However, they have recently made great progress in learning Chinese through virtual learning dreams. If they continue to use brain-computer interfaces for learning, I think they will soon be able to learn Chinese and understand the video lessons on CDs."
What this American guy really wanted to do was stay and continue exploring the virtual learning dream world to access the information inside.
For the first seven afternoons, while the 100 Americans were learning Chinese, the other three Americans were freely wandering around in a virtual learning dream and discovered some interesting things.
If it weren't for the forgetful nature of virtual dreams, they probably could have copied a lot of technological data that was currently ahead of the United States.
Before Professor Zhu came here, he had been reminded by Vice Dean Qian, so he had a clear understanding of this American's thoughts.
"Professor Smith, let me put it this way!" Professor Zhu smiled at the other person, "I can teach your colleagues Chinese; as for space-locking technology, we can go to the United States to learn it together."
"It's not possible for you to re-enter the virtual learning dream and view the relevant materials inside for the time being!"
"Unless there is a major breakthrough in the levitation hammer research project that would allow Dean Zhang to invite you over again."
