Although Tao Enhai calls it a "diagnosis," he can only take it one step at a ti, purely speculating on possible "treatnt thods" for Xiang Shan based purely on theory.
Because...
"Your special cognitive disorder could totally be nad after you." Tao Enhai rcilessly teased, "Xiang Shan Syndro, it’s exactly ’Xiang Shan Syndro.’ From the surgery left by the Eighth Martial God, it was already technology that previous people hadn’t reached, and its theoretical foundation wasn’t clear. The fusion of the Ninth Martial God was even more of a ss. For an average person to reach your level is extrely difficult. I reckon there won’t be a second case like yours. Maybe when cognitive science fundantally advances, soone might encounter a similar mishap on their journey of exploration. But from a dical perspective, that would be another story."
He even clapped his hands: "Rare, truly rare; unique, absolutely unique. In hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution, there’s only one case like this."
Xiang Shan sighed: "Should I use a high dose of Restoring Enzy? Just wash it all back?"
"ntal illnesses that don’t affect the ability to take care of oneself are generally not recomnded to be treated recklessly," Tao Enhai said. "Besides, ’main personality treating personality dissociation at the risk of mutual destruction’—what kind of lunatic cos up with such a ntal illness treatnt plan?"
Niyaguti also reminded: "Don’t forget, your brain contains a large number of artificial neural circuits. These inorganic man-made objects are not affected by Restoring Enzy."
The treatnt options provided by Tao Enhai include only "dication intervention," "physical therapy," and "ditation training adjustnts."
Tao Enhai chose so commonly used dications, which were available in the base. Inner martial artists, on their path of cultivation, could occasionally need them as well. Xiang Shan directly received a batch.
The "Fierce Ghost" called out from behind Xiang Shan: [Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this a bit of a coincidence, huh? How do they have everything? You better make sure, are these dications the ones on the list? Better conduct a careful test...]
Xiang Shan imagined himself taking a deep breath, then roared in his mind: [Goodbye, you idiot*]
Then, he injected the dication into the chamber ant for feedstock. This small chamber is one of the few "life-support systems" for a fully prosthetic body Benchmark Man. This life-support system is connected to a network of pipelines, which are laid along several larger blood vessels in the brain, allowing so nutrients and potions to quickly enter the brain, very conveniently.
Since the bulk of the Benchmark man’s energy consumption is provided by electricity, the primary nutritional requirent is for cellular tabolism and self-repair after injury. Inner martial artists need to adjust their neural networks frequently, requiring a slightly larger amount, but still just "so."
A small finger-sized piece of compressed nutrition is enough to provide ample supplent to the brain.
According to Xiang Shan’s thinking, dications that have a ntal effect generally act quickly.
Xiang Shan quietly waited by the wall. Heroes passing by glanced at him occasionally whispering.
The "Fierce Ghost" just coldly stared at Xiang Shan.
Xiang Shan sighed and went back to find Tao Enhai.
"Doctor Tao, isn’t this dication effective?" Xiang Shan said. "I feel the symptoms haven’t eased..."
"It was never going to completely resolve the symptoms," Tao Enhai said. "Although you can use system records to find the part of the brain that is activated when that ’Fierce Ghost’ appears. This involves multiple advanced thought activities, including ’emotion regulation.’ If I directly used dication to silence this part, it might solve your symptoms. But you would lose your ability to act."
Although the brain does have certain subdivision, and specific areas correlate to specific functions, these divisions are oversimplified. So advanced thought activities result from large-scale coordination across the neural network. Many brain areas, when completing their tasks, also require cooperation from other parts of the neural network.
Using the thod "silence a part of the brain" and then observing "what function humanity lost" is indeed an important research thod. But this does not an "that silent brain area is only related to that specific thought function." Such "functional loss" may be the result of "another unknown cognitive ability loss."
When it cos to each small fragnt of brain area functionality, it’s hard to say that it’s "one specific function to one specific area."
"Your situation is too complex. The inherent human neural network, artificial neural circuits, and computer-simulated consciousness are mixed together, the boundaries between each beginning to blur," Tao Enhai said. "And now, we also lack the conditions that would allow you to rest peacefully. Especially at this juncture... unimportant tasks, Niyaguti will try not to trouble you. But this mont of global satellite network failure is a precious strategic window. We will eventually need your help."
Niyaguti’s plan is first to gain an advantage on the ground. Then, at the right ti, take the space elevator with a decisive stroke. And to ensure the space elevator isn’t directly destroyed by the fleet, before implenting the plan, the Righteous Army must possess a certain amount of space combat force.
Xiang Shan tapped his head: "I thought I could just get rid of that... tch."
Tao Enhai transmitted a part of the information to Xiang Shan: "Oh, and don’t forget this."
Xiang Shan was taken aback: "This is, uh... docuntation for adjusting the brain temperature control system paraters?"
"To inhibit local brain activity, the thod with higher spatial resolution is by cooling specific brain areas," Tao Enhai said. "It requires less than dication thods, and the process is more controllable. You can decide to what extent to inhibit based on the temperature-rate relationship of biochemical reactions within neural cells. Also, this process is more reversible. Really, when you need it, it can be restored in a few seconds — for example, when you find yourself maxing out your inner strength or external strength."
Xiang Shan nodded: "Ha, simple and crude, I like it."
Tao Enhai shook his head, sternly warning: "These are ultimately only adjuncts. ditation Training is the focus..."
If Xiang Shan had a face, it would have collapsed: "Damn, is it the ’making peace with oneself’ approach? I really don’t want that! That kind of Xiang Shan is just too off-putting..."
"Not reconciliation, but adjusting your mindset, at least to achieve ’control,’" Tao Enhai said. "You don’t want a hallucination to take up brain resources during a fight, do you?"
Xiang Shan sighed: "Then I hope it can be quick. I’m really fed up with this. Really."
