Chapter 458 Education Crowdfunding, Immortal Cultivation Visa
"This is Gu Chang's...incredible."
This is Old Man Bai’s evaluation after reading “The Examination of the Relationship between Spiritual Roots and Nerves”.
It's really amazing.
If the spiritual root problem is a world problem, then Gu Chang has almost opened up a new solution. The most important thing is that this solution has a great probability of success.
Even though the thesis was not yet complete, the old man could naturally see the extraordinary talent revealed in it.
"Much smarter than you were."
The old man closed his paper, glanced at Zheng Fa, and suddenly complained.
"Teacher, you are right." Zheng Fa didn't take it seriously and smiled proudly.
Tang Lingwu, who was standing next to the two of them, puffed up her cheeks slightly and looked even more indignant than Zheng Fa. She snatched the paper from the old white man's hand and started to find fault with it.
Half an hour later, Tang Lingwu raised her head and said with a slightly frustrated tone: "Amazing..."
Looks deeply shocked.
"It's amazing. It's not easy to come up with this idea. The most difficult part is... his segmentation method. This thing is very spiritual."
The old man nodded and sighed.
Zheng Fa also has this feeling.
The so-called segmentation method is Gu Chang's idea of segmenting human nerves. Human nerves are extremely complex and connected as a whole. How to segment them into small structures and then perform topological changes is a huge problem.
Gu Chang solved the problem based on his intuition. Not only that, he also summed up a set of rules.
This is not a very appropriate analogy. In the math competitions that Tang Lingwu participated in before, the solutions to most geometry problems required drawing auxiliary lines.
Zheng Fa had done some of these before, and some of them could really be described as god-like. He didn’t even look at the answers, and they were completely unexpected. Most candidates would not be able to master them without extensive training.
Human nerves are much more complicated than geometry problems, and topological transformations are not that intuitive, so the difficulty is completely incomparable.
This is not just some divine move from Gu Chang. To be honest, it is at least the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
After seeing this, Tang Lingwu, the former contestant, naturally admitted defeat.
This is also the reason why Zheng Fasi thought about it and decided to accept Gu Chang as his disciple.
Not to mention the contribution of this boy's paper to the Nine Mountains Realm and the modern world.
As for this talent, there is no one else in the Nine Mountains Realm who has it.
This talent is truly valuable to Zheng Fa and the Jiushan Realm.
Not to mention being disabled, even if he was dead, he would see if he could save him.
"Is Gu Chang your eldest disciple now?" The white old man turned around and asked curiously, "Then you have to teach him well."
Zheng Fa suddenly smiled a little cunningly: "Teacher~"
The old man's hair stood up all over his body, and he immediately became alert: "What?"
"He is my disciple, isn't he your disciple's grandson?"
The old man was unmoved: "...Don't try to make connections, just talk about the matter."
"This disciple is so talented, I'm afraid he will be delayed. How about you spend more time on him? Give him some guidance on a daily basis?"
"..."
The old man stared at Zheng Fa in a daze. After a long while, he cursed:
"I haven't even taken care of my own grandson! How can I take care of your apprentice? Do you rely on your parents to teach your apprentice?"
It sounds so ugly to be a parasite, but I rely on crowdfunding.
He didn't have time, and he didn't want to delay Gu Chang's talent.
But he didn't have much time, but he had a lot of people.
Shake people!
Not just old white guys.
He plans to recruit other mathematics experts to this nursing home.
Although we cannot meet in person for guidance, with Zheng Fa as an intermediary, it won't be a big problem to form a teaching advisory group and organize joint lectures between the two sectors.
In this way, Gu Chang relies on Mu Qingyan for his practice and relies on modern times for his research.
Who doesn’t say that he or she has taught well?
To be honest, Zheng Fa felt lucky for Gu Chang - who else could provide him with such a training environment except himself?
If we were to say what the biggest reason why Zheng Fa finally accepted Gu Chang as his disciple was, it was because he had the resources and confidence to not let this genius go to waste.
The old man kept cursing, but there was no anger on his face. On the contrary, he looked quite interested.
Meeting such a talented student did indeed inspire him to become a better teacher.
not to mention……
"Teacher, if we want to solve the spiritual root problem, I'm afraid it will still fall on Gu Chang."
The old man, who had been struggling to practice due to his poor spiritual roots, immediately showed an expression of being controlled when he heard this.
He held it in for a while before he said, "I'll teach you!"
Seeing the expected smile on Zheng Fa's face, the old man Bai said unhappily: "You treat your disciples with all your heart."
Zheng Fa smiled.
On the one hand, his concern for Gu Chang is naturally because such a talent is rare, and Gu Chang's growth will be of great benefit to him.
Investing in talent is definitely not a loss.
Such top talents cannot be overemphasized.
on the other hand……
“Because I also have a caring teacher.”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he understood. The corners of his mouth grinned, but his face was tense, as if he was trying to hold it back, but in the end he couldn't.
He forced himself to smile so hard that his eyebrows and eyes were invisible.
Tang Lingwu watched from the side with pity in her eyes - Zheng Fa's words had coaxed Teacher Bai into this state, and she was afraid that she would be bitten to death.
……
"The data is almost verified."
Tang Lingwu happily took the tablet and went to find Zheng Fa with Teacher Tian.
"An Examination of the Relationship between Spiritual Roots and Nerves" is only half completed, and the biggest missing part is the data.
Both experimental data and data processing are very rough.
On the one hand, Gu Chang’s sample size was too small—only himself.
On the other hand, he processed the data by himself, which was neither detailed nor accurate.
It can only be said to be a qualitative analysis, and it has not yet reached the quantitative level.
"We tested the people in the nursing home and compared their neural structure with their spiritual root composition, and found that the correlation is extremely high." Tang Lingwu pointed to the chart on the tablet.
"There are some data errors in Gu Chang's paper, which is probably because his understanding of neural structure is not so accurate."
"But overall, starting from the neural structure, spiritual roots can be explained."
Zheng Fa nodded and looked at Team Leader Yang who was standing beside him.
"Next, we are going to conduct human experiments." Team Leader Yang also understood what he wanted to ask and simply answered, "The death row prisoners are ready."
Human experiments are necessary. Correlation sometimes does not mean causation. Of course, if we leave this matter to Team Leader Yang, it won’t be a big problem.
"From the current data, although there are some details that need to be improved, the theoretical direction should be good." Teacher Tian continued, "Spiritual roots should be a macroscopic manifestation of the microscopic structure of nerves."
There was some joy in everyone's expression.
There is no need to deny the importance of spiritual roots, and their significance in modern times is even greater.
"The question now is how to transform the spiritual roots."
This is actually more difficult.
To transform the spiritual roots is to transform the neural structure.
The Xuanwei Realm does not understand nerves, so naturally it cannot be relied upon.
In modern times, there is another difficulty.
"There are actually some relevant studies in this area, but they are all very cutting-edge, and some are even just theories."
Teacher Tian seemed to be well prepared and spoke eloquently.
"I asked some medical and biological people in the nursing home and got a general idea of the current situation:"
"Inducing nerve growth probably includes drug therapy, physical therapy, surgical intervention, bioengineering technology, and emerging gene and cell therapies."
"Medications are not to be mentioned. Physical therapy generally uses electrical stimulation and repetitive functional training."
Zheng Fa raised his eyebrows: "Electrical stimulation?"
“Yes, electrical stimulation can stimulate the regeneration of specific synapses.” Teacher Tian also smiled and said, “There are many studies in this area, and they are very effective.”
This way, it becomes much simpler.
Thunder magic is the ace profession of the Nine Mountains Realm.
Electric shock therapy has a particularly bright future in the Nine Mountains Realm.
"Surgery, biological materials, and stem cell therapy are all used quite a lot and have some effects, but the problem is... they are not enough to accomplish neural shaping on this scale."
Teacher Tian said this with a somewhat helpless expression: "I asked those scholars, and they said that the nervous system itself is extremely delicate and we don't understand it well enough, let alone modify it at will."
"And the spiritual roots involve too many and too complicated nerves. Such a large-scale transformation is extremely difficult... They don't even have a clue."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa was not disappointed.
He himself also understood this matter.
The spiritual root issue was fraught with difficulties, but he had anticipated this and even had some plans:
"Teacher Tian, how about the spiritual medicine?"
"Elixir?"
Teacher Tian was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly brightened. He understood what Zheng Fa meant.
In the final analysis, modern biology has encountered a bottleneck in this area, and it is too difficult to make a normal breakthrough in a short period of time.
But they can still rely on immortal methods.
"The vitality provided by the elixir and the fine control of electric current by thunder magic may bring hope."
Teacher Tian nodded at first, then looked bitter, and even a little ashamed:
"Spiritual medicine, speaking of which, our research on spiritual medicine is also progressing slowly." Teacher Tian is in charge of this area, and his expression is very gloomy. "It is much slower than other topics."
This is not meant by Teacher Tian to belittle himself.
The research on elixirs has indeed slowed down a lot.
On the one hand, Zheng Fa naturally paid less attention to this aspect:
It's good to have elixirs, but not having them won't have much impact on the development of the nursing home.
On the other hand, drug development itself is a high-investment, long-cycle process.
The five kinds of magical herbs grown in the nursing home have not been thoroughly studied yet.
They can eat, but the problem is that neither Zheng Fa nor Teacher Tian wants to stop at just eating.
To put it simply, we must at least understand the principles and functions of these elixirs, otherwise these technologies cannot be used in the Nine Mountains Realm at all.
But now, faced with the problem of spiritual roots, the importance of spiritual medicines has reached a new level.
"How about we visit a few more research institutes?"
Tang Lingwu suggested.
"It's okay..."
The results of the two previous national research projects were good, so Zheng Fa naturally had high expectations.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"There is little hope of seeing immediate results in this matter."
"Ok?"
"The best people in this field in China are basically all in nursing homes..." Teacher Tian looked at Zheng Fa and said helplessly, "This is different from mechanical engineering and program development. We really don't have much accumulation in China."
This is definitely not Teacher Tian being pessimistic.
The previous method was very helpful in completing projects, but it would definitely have a significant impact on the development of new technologies.
To put it bluntly, one is an old technology and the other is a new field, and the research paths and methods are very different.
Zheng Fa keenly noticed a word: "Domestic?"
"Well, the cutting-edge research and top scholars in this area are all abroad." Teacher Tian said softly, "Of course, the biggest reason is that we didn't keep up in the early years. Although there has been progress in recent years, it is still not as good as their accumulated technology."
"If you want to continue to rely on yourself, you can, but in terms of time... it's hard to say."
Having said that, Teacher Tian also shut his mouth.
Obviously she also understood that this was not only related to this issue, but also to the next step of the nursing home.
……
In the backyard, Old Man Bai, Tang Mudao, Teacher Tian and Tang Lingwu gathered together, with Team Leader Yang also among them, to discuss this important matter.
"Introducing foreign scholars?" The white old man asked in surprise, "Old Tang, you have been abroad for a long time, what do you think?"
"It's unbelievable." Tang Mudao said without thinking, "Regardless of other things, just the ideas and concepts are completely different."
"Of course, we are not afraid."
I am indeed not afraid.
For Zheng Fa, the reason he stayed in the country was more because of habit and some people.
On the other hand, it is also for the sake of good communication.
But to be honest, he can only be considered half a modern man, so it's not true that he cares too much about these things.
What's more, with his current strength, he looks at these things with even less interest.
We had not considered it before, mainly because there were enough talented people in the country and introducing foreigners would cause some communication barriers - not to mention other things, how they could learn those exercises and understand the meridians was a difficult problem.
Too lazy to bother.
But what Teacher Tian said does make sense.
Moreover, ever since the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit became Daozu Dao Fruit, Zheng Fa had an idea:
The billions of people in the country are naturally his basic base, but the billions of people in the world may also be of some help to the Taoist's Taoist fruit.
For him, preaching the gospel throughout the world is a must.
He looked at Team Leader Yang with some curiosity in his eyes.
"Of course, I'll listen to you, Dean, on this matter." Team Leader Yang immediately understood his look and shook his head, "We've already taken the lead, and the higher-ups actually understand as well."
"Now some people say that this is the first immortal revolution. It is a great fortune for the country to be able to take the lead."
"I still have some confidence."
This is a very beautiful thing to say, and it is indeed insightful.
This is to compare the emergence of Zheng Fa to several industrial revolutions. Each industrial revolution will give birth to a hegemonic country, and this time is no exception.
This kind of change is even more drastic, and the change to the world may be more thorough...
Zheng Fa also understood that from Team Leader Yang's standpoint, he would of course say things in a positive way, but he really didn't care much about those dissenting voices.
After hearing Team Leader Yang's statement, Old Man Bai nodded repeatedly and asked, "Speaking of which, is there no reaction from abroad?"
"We are all so upright."
"Then no one wants the satellite?"
After hearing this, Team Leader Yang had a strange expression on his face: "No."
"It's fine if they don't want the satellite?" The old man asked, "They are not interested in cultivating immortals either?"
"That's interesting." Team Leader Yang shook his head. "They seem to have found out about the director's personality and have been applying for some kind of academic exchange. They probably want to go into the nursing home and take a look."
"Application?" The white old man looked extremely surprised. "So polite?"
Team leader Yang said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the deterrent power of the dean. Let's just say that right now, with the strength of our country, even if they want to be rude, that won't work, right?"
Zheng Fa also knew about this matter.
He was extremely busy before and had no special needs, so he just put these applications aside and ignored them.
Now is the time to consider it.
"What do you think, Team Leader Yang?"
Zheng Fa turned around and asked Team Leader Yang. None of the people in this group had ever been involved in such a thing, so naturally he had to ask the most professional person.
Team leader Yang worked abroad for many years and has the most experience in this area.
Seeing that Zheng Fa trusted her so much, Team Leader Yang was a little happy. She thought for a moment and said:
"Absorbing foreign talents will definitely be useful to you, the dean, but how to absorb them requires consideration."
"Tell me?"
Zheng Fa asked with interest.
"First of all, let's make one thing clear. With the strength of our nursing home, we are not afraid of people with ulterior motives." Team leader Yang unconsciously emphasized the word 'we'.
"Not only that, there is also the Great Dream Talisman." Tang Lingwu interrupted, "These are all trivial matters, no need to worry too much."
"Since there is no risk, let's think about maximizing the benefits." Team Leader Yang nodded and analyzed, "In simple terms, it is about how to attract the best talents."
There is some truth to this.
As I said, Zheng Fa has no shortage of people.
Even due to his limited cultivation level, he couldn't afford to support so many monks.
Even if we take a step back and say that there is a shortage of migrant workers in scientific research, there are plenty of them in the country, so there is no need to go through so much trouble.
When we bring in foreign scholars, we are targeting the top ones.
"so what?"
The old man listened with great interest and asked curiously.
"I was thinking, how about getting a Cultivation Visa?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned. The word sounded a bit strange, but everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.
"The visa conditions are actually very simple. You need to have rich academic achievements and be the best in the academic community." At this point, Team Leader Yang looked at Team Leader Tian and added, "Or you need to have some key technologies, such as the technical patents of pharmaceutical companies."
"This is the only way to get this visa and enter the nursing home to study the way of immortals."
"We are not short of talent in our nursing home, so if it's not the top talent, to be honest, we don't need it."
"Human nature is selfish, so if you have higher requirements, they will be willing to use their best technology... You can even only give a small number of places in a batch and issue visas based on academic status and technical value."
Tang Mudao was stunned and asked blankly, "Why does this sound so familiar?"
"How can we harvest top talents and technologies from various countries at a low cost..." Team Leader Yang said with a smile, "Shouldn't we learn from the country on the top of the mountain?"
This method is simple, but sounds effective.
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said simply: "Let's give it a try! Start with this spiritual root research and introduce talents in medicine and biology. If it works, we can expand the scope of introduction in the future."
Team leader Yang immediately stood up and said to Zheng Fa, "Then I will contact the person and issue the regulations."
Watching her leave, the old man suddenly sighed, "A nursing home account is becoming more and more valuable?"
"..."
"We seem to have created a... Immortal Dynasty?"
