Chapter 17 Improvement of NZT48 (Part 2)
What is really magical is our brain. NZT-48 also makes the brain that accounts for 80% to 90% of the unconscious part use.
But from the perspective of numbers, using NZT-48 seems to only increase the brain's operation efficiency by seven or eight times, but in fact, why are people who use NZT-48 so perverted? You can master a science and learn a language in a few days, so that people don't have to worry about memory anymore. Even if you have seen it, you will remember it.
The reason is very simple. The human body needs to be manipulated by the brain. In the use of 10% to 20%, a large part of it is dominating our body, completing various complex activities in life and internal adjustments in the body, and truly occupying memory and thinking behaviors. When the proportion of the conscious part used by the brain increases, it no longer needs to dominate the computing power of the brain to the body, and the increased part is added to memory, thinking and senses, so it shows such a perverted aspect.
The human brain is a super huge parallel computing system. All synapses and all proteins on each synapse can move at the same time instantly. There are only a few nanometers of distances between proteins. The current can run hundreds of billions of times in one second at this distance. The order of magnitude of the human brain's computing speed is indescribable, with about 1 followed by 27 zeros to 30 zeros. You should know that 4 billion times are only 4 followed by 9 zeros, which is about 20 orders of magnitude.
Such a huge computing system is not a good thing to operate in full.
Normally, the human brain is 2% of the body's total weight, but it requires 25% of the oxygen used throughout the body, compared to 12% of the kidneys and 7% of the heart. The nerve signals can be delivered in nerves or muscle fibers at a speed of up to 200 miles per hour.
While taking NZT-48 overclocking, the brain's oxygen consumption rose sharply, and the energy required was increased several times.
What is terrifying is that it is difficult to stop this overclocking state independently. Some of them are like the mental terminology that moves around, and they will change with the environment anytime, anywhere, sound couplets, meaning couplets, moods, excessive consciousness activities. Therefore, people who use NZT-48 will feel very excited, full of energy, comfortable mood, and have the feeling that they can accomplish everything.
The side effect of NZT-48 is not that it contains any substances that are harmful to the human body, but precisely because it increases the power of the human brain too much. The brain in an overclocked state is not something that ordinary people can bear. The energy consumed by the body, the oxygen consumed by the brain, dead brain cells, etc. every day are far beyond the normal range. If the body does not have any problems in the long run, it is really strange to collapse.
Wei Ran discovered something very gratifying by monitoring Eddie Mora's body throughout the process. Eddie Mora gradually adapted to the overclocking state. His synaptic mutation became stronger and gradually completely controlled the overclocking state. In other words, he could turn on the overclocking state anytime and anywhere, or turn off the overclocking state anytime and anywhere, as simple as blinking his eyes, and he didn't even realize this. If he didn't have to turn on the overclocking state at all times, the side effects of NZT-48 would be minimal.
The brain is adaptable to a very strong brain and has the ability to recover after injury. When a brain is damaged, the remaining neural tissue can sometimes replace or compensate for the function of the lost part. The brain's ability to recover from loss of function does not indicate that the damaged part has no function. This ability is the ability to shuffle and rewire the brain. Young and children's brains are quite adaptable, and the function of a damaged area of a young brain can be replaced by the remaining brain tissue.
Through research, Wei Ran found that Eddie Mora's phenomenon is not an exception. Every user of NZT-48 mutates during use. The overclocking state activated by NZT-48 damages the brain's synapses, and the synapses after the damage will become stronger and tougher after restoration. In this cycle, they gradually adapt to the overclocking state and finally achieve complete control of NZT-48.
But why is Eddie Mora successful? Because many people died because of overwhelmed physically before they waited until the mutation was over. Or they stopped taking medication, and their bodies became weaker due to the rapid change in their state and could not proceed with the next mutation. Another reason is that the brain is over 35 years old, and the synaptic resilience ability cannot keep up with the mutation. The first batch of upper-level people from NZT-48 users basically exceeded this age line.
Wei Ran summarized the basic conditions for successful mutation using NZT-48: First, the body is strong enough, without any disease, and can withstand the physical burden caused by long-term use of NZT-48. Second, one-time mutation, long-term medication, cannot be stopped, once it stops, the mutation fails and cannot be performed again. Third, the age of the brain needs to be between eighteen and thirty-five years old. At this time, the age of the brain will not be mutated and distorted due to immature development of the brain, nor will the mutation fail due to weak synaptic recovery ability. Fourth, luck, a large part of it is also necessary to be lucky,
I have to say that Eddie Mora's success was lucky. His age was 32 years old. His brain did not overuse because of his laziness and did not work hard, and he was still very young. In the original plot, the unknown person was not afraid to take NZT-48 as a Superman pill, and he never stopped eating it. Now he insisted on taking the medicine at Wei Ran's request. Obviously, his luck was also good, and he succeeded.
Wei Ran never pinned his hopes on his illusory luck, so he reset the NZT-48 based on the components contained in NZT-48. The improved NZT-48 is much more effective than before, extending the time required for synaptic mutation and reducing the chance of failure to the lowest point.
Wei Ran succeeded and became an existence like Eddie Mora, completely controlling the use rate of the brain. However, it was not without a price. Wei Ran's body became very weak because it took too long. In other words, it was like being addicted to wine and sex for many years. It was hollowed out and could only recover slowly.
The evolution of NZT-48 is not completely without disadvantages, because synaptic mutations do not require taking drugs. The overclocking evolution of the brain becomes a lifelong thing. Although the overclocking state no longer exists at all times, it is also used intermittently every day. As long as the brain is turned on to think about things and recall things, the effort will be overclocked.
As long as it is in the overclocking state, the energy consumption will inevitably intensify. Compared with the past, the burden on the body has become smaller, but the burden is always a burden or a burden over the years. When the body is young, it may be able to withstand it. Once you enter middle-aged and old age and your body gradually goes downhill, this state will deteriorate sharply. Wei Ran calculated that even if the mutation succeeds, it will be difficult for him to live beyond 65 years old. Unless you empty your head, try not to think about anything, and live happily without heart and soul, but this is obviously impossible.
Wei Ran is now in a very embarrassing situation. On the one hand, the body is delayed the brain mutation time for too long because of research and improvement of NZT-48, causing the body to be hollowed out. On the other hand, there is a burden of overclocking. No matter how Wei Ran rests and exercises, the effect is minimal and it is difficult for the body to recover.
So now Wei Ran urgently needs a method that can quickly improve physical fitness. This method is difficult to find in conventional planes. The next step is to travel to the super value plane.
Wei Ran has two choices, one is the technological plane, which uses the power of science to help himself, and the other is the martial arts plane, which uses the power of martial arts to improve physical fitness. Wei Ran prefers the latter one.
Basically, every boy has a dream of martial arts from childhood to adulthood, longing to fly around, enjoy the life of revenge, drinking big gulf, eating meat, seeing unfairness, drawing swords to help, rob the rich and help the poor, stealing fragrance and jade to be a hero or becoming a villain. Wei Ran first discovered that he had time-traveling superpowers, but Wei Ran had always been more rational than emotional in life, anyway, the martial arts plane will have to go sooner or later, and it would be nothing to play for a while. Wei Ran also has another reason for using martial arts plane. Using martial arts to improve physical fitness is a natural evolution at the level of life, and using technology to improve it feels like a seedling to grow. However, the speed of improving physical fitness in science and technology is exactly what Wei Ran needs at present. On the other hand, martial arts plane needs to be practiced, and I don’t know how long it will take.
Because the time flow rate of the "Never End" plane is the same as other ectopic planes, since Wei Ran decided to develop the "Never End" plane, he naturally had to arrange everything before leaving. His next journey through time may not be the same as the previous planes, and he is not sure how long it will take.
The improved NZT-48 can enable people who meet the conditions to successfully complete brain mutations. No, compared to mutation, the word "evolution" is more accurate. Although the brain still has the disadvantage of burdening the body after evolution, these cannot conceal its great bright spots at all. This is not only a potion for the evolution of the brain, but also a potion for humans all over the world to evolve, and can even complete a big leap forward in the history of human evolution.
Of course, Wei Ran had to take such an important thing into his own hands. Eddie Mora, who worked with Wei Ran to study and improve NZT-48, also mastered the technology of the improved NZT-48. However, without Wei Ran's permission, he said that he would not dare to spread anything. After all, no matter how his brain evolved, it always belongs to the scope of normal people. In his opinion, Wei Ran's superpowers are not like what normal people should have.
Wei Ran studied a drug with severely weakened efficacy and minimal side effects based on NZT-48, named Brain awakening agent. It is a liquid drug that can be taken orally or injected. The amount of a small bottle can increase the utilization rate of the human brain by about 0.01%, and the time lasts for one day. Although it is 0.01%, it enhances the user's memory and thinking ability by 2 times. Wei Ran developed Brain awakening agent to make money and make a lot of money.
Although the currency of the world in the "Never End" plane can be used with the main plane, Wei Ran does not intend to use the money from the plane to go to the main plane to consume it. The previous few times brought out a few hundred million US dollars from the plane to the main plane. These funds were only needed in the early stage, and the US dollar was a large reserve of 1.00 million US dollars. The amount of US dollars was not too obvious. However, if Wei Ran unscrupulously used the currency of the two worlds, it would always be discovered, and becoming a wanted criminal in the main plane was also something that Wei Ran could not allow.
However, currency cannot be universal, material things are OK, and using expensive things to transfer funds is a very good way. For example, collecting bricks and stones and jades in the "Never End" plane, and selling them in the main plane.
