Chapter 938: Damage
But unfortunately, no similar system panel interface appeared in Xu You’s mind again.
"All this... is like a dream." Xu You sighed in his heart.
Vaguely, Xu You felt that he had never really experienced all of this, and it was just some fantasy in his mind.
Of course, these things really happened, but in order to allow the X-1 super quantum to temporarily unlock some abilities, Xu You had to make a sacrifice.
Before he knew it, Xu You had finished his work for the day and returned home.
Compared with before, Xu You's work efficiency has dropped a lot. In the same amount of time, he has only completed a fraction of the previous work, and the difficulty of the work has also decreased a lot.
This made Xu You feel a little lost, and he no longer had the satisfying feeling of solving the problem with such great ease.
Lu Zhiyao saw through Xu You's mental state and said to him:
"Xuyou, are you feeling okay now?"
"Fortunately, the situation is not as bad as I imagined before. However, the feeling still makes me feel powerless."
In front of Lu Zhiyao, Xu You had to admit this fact.
"Xu You, it's okay. Compared to before, our situation is much better now. You have made so many contributions to the Blue Star civilization, and you don't need to keep working so hard."
If we put aside the fate of the Blue Star civilization, Lu Zhiyao actually hopes that Xu You can relax a little and no longer have to worry so much about the entire Blue Star civilization.
After Xu You thought about it, he finally said with relief:
"Yes, it's good to take a break. We should give others some opportunities. Besides me, there are many excellent scientific researchers on Blue Star. There is really no need for me to be like this and participate in the planning of everything."
Xu You knew that even if he did not appear, the Blue Star civilization would always face the threat of alien civilizations, and there would always be others who would stand up and use their strength to defend the Blue Star.
"Xu You, I actually still miss the time when we were in school. Although our abilities were very limited at that time and we couldn't have any impact on the entire Blue Star civilization, we were really happy at that time. We didn't have to bear such a big responsibility and have such a big psychological pressure. As long as we put our whole body and mind into learning and research, we would be very happy every day."
Recalling those years in school, Xu You also feels very happy.
At that time, Xu You was already well-known in the academic circles of China, and had published his research results in many heavyweight academic journals.
But even so, Xu You's research cannot play any substantive role immediately, and it exists more at the theoretical level.
Thinking of those happy days, Xu You really miss them very much.
"Yaoyao...if we can completely resolve the crisis of Proxima Centauri civilization, I would also like to be able to live the rest of my life more by relying on my true heart. I am really tired of the confrontation between different civilizations."
In fact, Xu You does not like this kind of behavior that aims to destroy the other party's civilization. All of this is just a helpless choice made by creatures in order to survive.
Xu You clearly remembers that his original intention in pursuing science was simply because he liked the process of studying scientific problems.
When Xu You first came into contact with Super Quantum X-1, he boldly chose the more difficult path, making himself stronger in the process of continuous learning.
"Yes, I believe there will be such a day. After the previous battle, our Blue Star civilization has gained the upper hand in the confrontation between the two sides. The current Proxima civilization has been seriously injured. Even if they attack the Blue Star civilization again, they will hardly have a chance to break through our defense circle."
Just like the previous times, Xu You once again gained a lot of comfort from communicating with Lu Zhiyao.
After this, Lu Zhiyao continued:
"Xu You, is it true that your brain will never recover again?"
After thinking for a while, Xu You replied:
"At the moment, it seems that it will be difficult to recover. This time, in order to unlock the power of X-1 super quantum, most of the energy source substances in my brain and body were absorbed. Theoretically speaking, it will take almost infinite time to recover all of these energy source substances."
Although Xu You did not completely deny this possibility, after listening to what Xu You said, Lu Zhiyao also knew that it was almost impossible for Xu You to recover.
After a pause, Xu You continued:
"Of course, over the years, I have used this special state so many times, and the benefits I have gained from it have far exceeded those of a normal few lifetimes. Speaking of which, I don't have any regrets at the moment."
At this time, Lu Zhiyao suddenly remembered something and continued:
"Xu You, do you think my brain waves have the potential to have healing effects? I think my brain waves have many wonderful effects. In addition to destroying the extra-dimensional energy body of the Proxima civilization, there may be some other effects."
Hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Xu You was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Yaoyao, don't think about this. It's impossible. The extent of my brain damage is far beyond your imagination. With your ability, you can't make any changes at all."
Lu Zhiyao was a little surprised by Xu You's attitude. After all, before this, Xu You had never answered her so decisively.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Xu You would be willing to give it a try.
What's more, this time, Xu You directly rejected Lu Zhiyao's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"Xu You, even if we can't cure everything, there's always hope of recovering some of it, right? And even if my brainwaves aren't strong enough, we can still try to use the electromagnetic wave amplification technology like we did last time? Why don't you even want to give it a try?"
Xu You was naturally not someone who was unwilling to try casually, nor did he not believe that this method could help his brain recover.
But Xu You knew that once he agreed with Lu Zhiyao's idea, there would be a great risk that Lu Zhiyao would harm her own body.
Even if the brain waves emitted by Lu Zhiyao's brain could potentially bring about a healing effect, the price to pay if one wants to truly heal Xu You's injured brain would certainly be very high.
What's more, with Xu You's current ability, he doesn't have the confidence to protect Lu Zhiyao very well and allow Lu Zhiyao to complete the treatment of himself without any injury.
Once Lu Zhiyao's brain is damaged, the impact may not only be a decline in mental power, but may even affect her life.
Now Xu You can no longer use his brain's simulation skills to accurately simulate various situations, which requires Xu You to be extremely cautious in doing many things.
This is also the reason why Xu You rejected Lu Zhiyao so resolutely.
"Yaoyao, there's no need to talk about this anymore. What I'm sure of is that we can't do this, so let's not choose to do it."
Seeing that Xu You directly rejected her again, Lu Zhiyao felt a little disappointed.
However, after some thought, Lu Zhiyao immediately understood what Xu You was thinking.
"Xu You, you are not rejecting this plan because you are worried that I will get hurt, right?"
After hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Xu You did not answer for a while, showing an indecisive look.
Xu You had to admit in his heart that Lu Zhiyao had indeed guessed what he was thinking.
This is Lu Zhiyao's unique ability. He can see other people's inner thoughts very accurately, as if he has the ability to read minds.
Seeing that Xu You did not directly answer her question, Lu Zhiyao knew that she must have guessed right.
Although Xu You would not tell her all the truth, he would definitely not lie to her, which made Lu Zhiyao more certain of her guess.
"Since you don't have an answer, I'll find a way to solve this problem myself. I can't just watch you go on like this without making any effort."
Hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Xu You quickly said:
"No, Yaoyao, you must not think of sacrificing yourself to help me recover. Such behavior is futile. Not only will it only be of limited help to me, but it will also cause great harm to you."
"So, I might actually be able to help you?"
Lu Zhiyao was very perceptive and discovered some clues from Xu You's words.
Xu You realized that he had said the wrong thing, but since the words had already come out of his mouth, Xu You could no longer take them back.
In fact, Xu You had already conducted a detailed analysis of Lu Zhiyao's brain waves before he made the transaction with X-1 Super Quantum.
As long as Lu Zhiyao's brain waves can be used correctly, it is indeed possible to achieve the effect that Lu Zhiyao idealizes.
However, the difficulty is extremely great, and with Xu You's current abilities, he has no confidence in achieving such an effect.
"Yaoyao, what I mean is that even if it can help, it is just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, the risks and costs you need to pay are too great. I don't want this to happen."
"It's okay. Even if I want to work towards this goal, I will definitely make protecting my own safety my top priority. You can rest assured about this."
After hearing what Lu Zhiyao said, Xu You was finally not so worried anymore.
…
This episode involving Lu Zhiyao did not have much impact on Xu You's subsequent life.
Lu Zhiyao would often ask Xu You some relevant questions, and Xu You would answer Lu Zhiyao according to what he knew. However, apart from the normal answers, Xu You did not put any other energy into studying these issues.
After all, Xu You didn't want Lu Zhiyao to take this risk from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't want Lu Zhiyao to be too close to the emergence of research results.
On this day, Luo Wenkun, Nie Jie, Lou Song and others came to Xu You's office together.
Xu You was particularly happy to see these old friends and received them warmly.
"Xu You, you're really more enthusiastic now than before. If I went there before, I might have to wait until you finished your research work before you had time to pay attention to us, and you were very cold at that time." Luo Wenkun joked.
Luo Wenkun was of course not really complaining about Xu You, he was just deliberately creating a relaxed atmosphere, because Luo Wenkun knew that Xu You's mood was definitely not as good as before.
"Haha, anyway, my research efficiency has plummeted a long time ago, so it's good to take a break. I spent too much time on research before, and now it's time to experience the life of a normal person."
Xu You smiled when he talked about this, but it was difficult to hide the regret in his heart.
"Okay, Xu You, don't worry about these things. Compared to before, my chess skills have improved a lot. Of course, this is largely due to the inspiration you gave me. In the future, I will replace you as the chess player and control the super-dimensional space fleet of the Blue Star civilization."
There was a hint of arrogance in Nie Jie's words, but Xu You was not angry about it.
"Well, Nie Jie, this is great. I can't beat you in chess right now. Even if you let me win, I'm afraid you will beat me by dozens of points."
In Go, calculation ability is far more important than experience. Even a player with multiple championship experience will find it difficult to play against new players with little experience after he has passed his peak.
"Don't say that, Xu You. No matter who looks down on you now, I will never look down on you. When we have time, we can play a good game against each other. You are the only chess player who scares me besides artificial intelligence."
Lou Song didn't say much, but Xu You also understood very well that Lou Song would definitely fulfill greater responsibilities for the Blue Star civilization after his brain power was damaged.
After some pleasantries, everyone began to discuss some more important issues.
"Xu You, after we destroyed the seventh-level super quantum of the Proxima civilization, we have also been insisting on training our super-dimensional space team. Now our combat power is very strong. Even if we don't rely on you, we can still confront the space fleet of the Proxima civilization head-on."
After Xu You suffered mental damage, Nie Jie took on the responsibility of the Blue Star Civilization's super-dimensional space fleet and performed the role of "chess player" very well.
