As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 166 Funny
“The existence of the soul is science, not metaphysics.”

"If human eyes can detect the existence of the soul, then I don't think I would be able to make this great discovery."

A reporter from the BBC in England asked, "Professor, what do you think about the relationship between the soul and the body? Have you observed that the soul has disappeared even though the body has not shown any signs of death?"

Bill was getting more and more used to this role. Seeing that the BBC's questions were so simple yet had a lot of room for maneuver, he knew that the other party was "one of us":
“It has always been said that brain death or vegetative state is because the soul has disappeared for some reason, but this theory has not been experimentally verified.

The correctness of this speculation can be judged by observing whether there is any image of the soul dissipating at the moment of death of a brain-dead patient.

But we haven’t found the right individuals to verify our hypothesis yet.”

“People used to think that brain death was irreversible hypoxic damage to all brain functions, but to some extent, it seems to be related to the soul.

From my personal point of view, I believe that there is a certain correlation between soul death and brain death, but sir, you know, we currently lack evidence.

That’s just my personal opinion.”

In fact, the American approach has already conducted experiments on brain-dead monkeys.

The brain death model was established by slow intermittent intracranial pressure, and then the experimental monkey's brain death state was maintained by respiratory and circulatory support, which was sufficient to maintain its brain death state for up to 24 hours.

Experiments have shown that the souls of monkeys treated in this way appear very randomly when they die.

Some experimental monkeys were physically killed 24 hours after brain death, and their souls could still be observed.

Some experimental monkeys experienced physical death half an hour after brain death, but their souls could not be observed.

The same batch of experimental monkeys all showed such different phenomena, and American scientists have not found a reasonable explanation for this.

As for the experimental results, Bill was not clear, and even if he was, he had no authority to make them public.

For soul experiments, monkeys can be said to be the best research material. This year, companies specializing in breeding experimental monkeys have made a lot of money.

The BBC reporter continued to ask: "There is another question that the public is very concerned about: Does the soul have mass?"

Bill said helplessly: "Our understanding of the soul is very superficial. Whether the soul has mass or not can only be answered by future scientists. Maybe it's me, or maybe it's my successor."

"I guess the soul has mass, but it's not that the soul and the body complement each other. The soul determines the mass of your body, and the body also determines the mass of your soul."

These were not Merlin's original words, but Bill read the subtext from them.

Zheng Li found it very interesting to watch Bill chatting and laughing with the reporters on the stage with a beaming expression on his face.

Because this is completely different from his style of doing things, and you will find it funny to see someone who is completely different from you playing you.

Just like if Andersen could live to this day and saw that Disney hired a black person to play the Little Mermaid, he would probably find it funny.

(There is no discrimination here, I just think Disney’s casting is inappropriate)
The white man from Bill's team in the audience had been infected by Zheng Li through biological weapons.

Zheng Li teleports a modified mosquito to Stockholm.

The spellcasting ability is limited, and it can only teleport small volumes of matter. If it were Zheng Li from the Mage Alliance, he could specifically teleport a clone to Stockholm.

The mosquito's mouthparts have been specially modified and implanted with specific genetic weapons.

Zheng Li used the ocean's biological signal line to control mosquitoes to find the hotel where Bill and his group were staying.

Then the genetic weapons in the mosquitoes were injected into the bodies of white people, and Zheng Li's identities were clearly revealed.

Wherever you go, you will leave traces. Blue Planet’s current information security capabilities cannot withstand the brute force attack of the BioCloud.

After the gene weapon entered the white man's body, the mission of the modified mosquito ended, and it flew to a corner and disappeared without a trace. After the white man was injected with the gene weapon, the gene weapon would transform his brain tissue, and Zheng Li could remotely control him and use certain magic.

However, this method has a significant disadvantage, which is that vitality will be greatly consumed.

Because the transformation of the magic brain is very gentle and takes as long as one month.

This kind of fast-forming material only takes two days to complete the work of the magic brain in a month, which is a huge loss to brain cells and vitality.

Vitality does exist, and the telomere DNA observed by human scientists is actually one of the external manifestations of vitality.

Telomeres are short, multi-repeated non-transcribed sequences and some binding proteins that form a special structure.

Every time a cell divides, the telomeres of each chromosome become shorter.

Zheng Li used the honeycomb magic brain to remotely and temporarily shut down the magic brain in the white man's body.

The closure is also to avoid being sniffed by Wei Teng.

If Zheng Li is now a hacker, then the white man is a completely hacked computer.

Now Zheng Li only logs in occasionally to see what he is doing.

On the Nobel Prize ceremony night two days later, Zheng Li will need to take over this body and give the guests an "unforgettable" night.

After the reporters finished asking questions, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. To the uninformed onlookers, Millen was a rare master scientist.

Bill stood up and bowed in thanks.

“Thank you very much for today’s interview. In the future, I will focus all my energy on soul issues and pay more attention to the relationship between the soul and human diseases.

Uncover more mysteries related to the soul."

Another impact of the confirmation of the soul is that the soul and spirit mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine have theoretical support.

The “Suwen Xuanming Wuqi” states: “The five internal organs store the spirit, the lungs store the soul, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the intention, and the kidneys store the will.”

Some fans of traditional Chinese medicine believe that ancient Chinese people had discovered the existence of the soul, but were unable to directly observe this phenomenon due to limitations in technology.

Taoist cultivation has also become popular. The simple idea is to practice it first, what if it works? Maybe after practicing it, the soul will be stronger and live longer.

The day before the Nobel Prize ceremony, Bill attended the traditional Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine winners' lecture at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

The title of his speech was "The existence of the soul is one of the most important future directions in biology and medicine."

On the day of the awards ceremony, the white man, as the leader of Bill's team, also got a ticket.

After he entered, he sat in the back two rows, ready to observe any suspicious visitors at any time.

“Is security at the Nobel Prize ceremony always this strict?”

"It was not so strict before, but it is a little too strict this time. The last time I participated, the security guards only checked if you had any metal objects or explosive items on you.

This time I had to go through a security checkpoint, and the stop time was exceptionally long.

It’s a bit strange indeed.”
