Anyway, it was difficult.
What a headache!
Ruan Wenye had even developed a habit of pulling at his hair, and looking at what seed to be increasingly less of it, he sowhat 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 outco.
One was no progress at all.
The other was the damaging comparisons—both Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican had perford 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.
...
Ti flew by, and before they knew it, two months had passed.
Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Qican seed 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 co 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 mont then said, "How about this? You all take a break, until the experint starts. We don’t need to research anything in the recent stage."
Ruan Wenye imdiately asked, "Is it the photon anti-gravity experint?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yi nodded, confirming, "At that ti, anyone who wants to co 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 co with when the ti cos."
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 experint, as the experint 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 ti to go to the dical center laboratories for research on neural signal transmission.
This research made significant progress; through continuous experints, they had discovered the feedback process between central and tactile nerves.
In the original understanding, nerve signals consisted of nurous 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 judgnts, specifically which tactile nerve sent the ssage. Only when the nerve excitation reaches the central nervous system and a judgnt 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 so doctors give injections that don’t hurt, and sotis 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 ti 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.
The discovery might not sound like much, and it seed similar statents 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 experints and post-analytic findings to confirm in new experints.
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.
The work of the two groups combined to complete this achievent.
When the results were published, top international dical journals considered the findings to be a significant advancent in dical research.
Such fundantal 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 sa, 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.
