Netherlands, Elsevier.
Perhaps many people have never heard of this company, but it is one of the world's leading publishing groups that integrates scientific, technical and medical information products and publishing services.
ScienceDirect, a platform owned by Elsevier, publishes a large number of academic books and journals every year. Most of these journals are included in famous databases such as SCI, SSCI, and EI, and are recognized as high-quality academic journals in the world.
In addition, Elsevier also owns important research tools and databases such as Scopus and Reaxys, providing scientific researchers with a variety of services such as collaborative collaboration, scientific research sharing, and results display.
Of course.
It is most well-known for being responsible for the publication of The Lancet journal.
What is The Lancet journal?
This independent comprehensive medical journal founded by Thomas Wycolley in 1823 is one of the four internationally recognized comprehensive medical journals and has a high reputation in the world of medicine. Widely regarded as the top comprehensive clinical journal.
If you can get a place in a certain issue of "The Lancet", even if it is just a sub-issue, it is not an exaggeration to say that you can get into Peking Union Medical College, West China, and Ruijin Hospital at will, and you will have the upper hand in the professional field. Knife qualification.
At this time in Elsevier, in the office of the editor-in-chief of "The Lancet Neurology", Callum McMana frowned, with strong disbelief in his eyes, and confirmed again : "You are saying that Ruijin Hospital in Longguo cured a case of ALS through invasive equipment?"
"Yes, editor-in-chief, I have confirmed with Ruijin Hospital. Professor Qian Qiuliang from the Department of Neurology personally replied that he is the surgeon in charge and the patient's vital signs are currently stable."
The editor-in-chief responded quickly.
Originally he didn't believe it, but Qian Qiuliang confirmed it many times and guaranteed it with his own reputation, so he had to tell Callum McMana the news.
"Brain machine..."
Callum McMana was lost in thought. He was not sure whether this was a medical device and whether it could be published in "The Lancet Neurology" , but for the sake of human health, he decided to go to the Dragon Kingdom to find out.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "Come with me to the Dragon Kingdom. If this so-called brain-computer interface can really cure ALS, perhaps the building of neurology needs to be torn down and rebuilt."
“Tear down and rebuild?”
The editor was shocked.
"Yeah." Callum McMana nodded slightly, with excitement in his eyes, and explained: "Once it is proven that the brain-computer interface can intervene in the nerve center of the human brain and cure neuropathy, the so-called All inhibitory drugs will become auxiliary means, and brain-computer interface will be the treatment method. "
"Same as heart stents?"
The editor asked.
"Absolutely." Callum McMana nodded in response.
Before the advent of cardiac stent surgery, nitrate drugs were generally used to relieve stenosis and blockage of blood vessels, but these only treated the symptoms and not the root cause, and the blockage would still occur after the drug was effective.
The emergence of cardiac stent surgery is to clean up the tunnel that has collapsed and provide strong support, so that the blood vessels can be restored, which is equivalent to a permanent cure.
No one can say for sure whether the brain-computer interface can become a heart stent, but what is certain is that the emergence of this kind of medical device will be a landmark advancement in the medical field.
After Callum McMana explained, he chose to leave immediately.
However, just as he was about to walk out, an old man in his seventies walked towards him. Although his temples were gray, his eyes were full of energy.
"Editor-in-Chief?"
Callum McMana said hello.
“Where are you going?” Editor-in-Chief Samantha Garvey asked in confusion.
"Dragon Kingdom."
Callum McMana responded.
Samantha Garvey's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked: "Looking at you, is it possible that the brain-computer interface that is being rumored outside can really cure neuropathy?"
"It's possible, so we need to find out." Callum McMana didn't dare to make a conclusion. There were too many academic frauds, and you can only be sure by seeing it with your own eyes.
"That's just right. I'm also very interested in brain-computer interfaces. I'm here to ask you for confirmation. Since you are going to the Dragon Kingdom, I will go with you." Samantha Ga Wei said in a deep voice.
The advent of brain-computer interface has made the global medical community tremble.
The field of neurology is a field that humans have been struggling to explore, and after hundreds of years of research, they are still in the dark.
What is IQ?
Can talent be given artificially?
Does the pineal gland exist?
These various questions about the human brain and how to develop the brain have always been top projects in the field of medical research.
William James Seeds, the man with the highest known IQ in the world, once said that the human brain is like a polar glacier, 95% of which is under the deep sea and cannot be peeked into.
Since the brain-computer interface can intervene in the nerve center, can it develop the brain? This is the biggest concern of the medical community.
Don’t think that developing the brain and improving IQ is far away from ordinary people, but in fact, relevant cases are around you.
For example, regarding educational resources, students from developed areas have an easier time going to college than students from backward areas.
Are students from backward areas stupid?
No!
Students in developed areas are rich in educational resources. Primary school teachers are all students from prestigious schools. The essence of education is actually to develop the brain.
Now that the Pandora’s box of brain-computer interfaces has been opened, not only the editors of The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the British Medical Journal have decided to go there Long Guo wants to find out the truth of the matter.
Longguo currency, which was announced to be linked to the country’s technology, was “gaining lost ground” at an incredible speed at the moment when the “brain-computer interface concept” shocked the medical community.
After Chen Xing clearly refused to use U.S. dollars at the "International Conference on 5G Networks", the relevant departments of Longguo also successively stated that they would use their own currencies for direct trade settlements and no longer need the "middleman" of the U.S. dollar. This also directly led to Longguo's The exchange rate of the national currency fell.
Why does the exchange rate fall?
Very simple.
The U.S. dollar is still the world currency.
Such a high-profile reduction in use and reduction of U.S. debt and U.S. dollar reserves will undoubtedly experience a short-term pain.
Then there is the oil trade. In the past, all countries in the world wanted to buy oil, but they had to pay with the foreign exchange reserves of US dollars. It was impossible for the Longguo currency not to fluctuate.
Half a year has passed, the exchange rate of Longguo currency against the U.S. dollar has dropped by 7.34%, from the original exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar to 6.4 yuan, to the current exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar to 6.87 yuan.
However, the depreciation of the Longguo currency is not a bad thing. It can be beneficial to commodity exports, attract international capital investment, and help reduce domestic prices.
If it were in the past, the national team would definitely take action to stabilize the exchange rate, but now the United States has started to cut interest rates on the U.S. dollar, trying to siphon hot money from around the world to the United States. If it wants to fight, it can only lower the exchange rate and attract international capital.
Why can lowering the exchange rate resist the tide of the US dollar and attract international capital?
Suppose you have 100,000 U.S. dollars. According to the previous exchange rate, it is equivalent to 640,000 RMB. You can buy a 100-square-meter house in the suburbs of a deep city.
As the exchange rate fluctuates, your 100,000 U.S. dollars become more valuable and become 687,000 U.S. dollars. At this time, you buy a suburban house for 640,000 yuan, and you still have 47,000 dollars left, and this 4.7 This is the benefit brought about by exchange rate fluctuations.
The depreciation of the exchange rate of the Dragon Country currency means that the U.S. dollars in the hands of international capital can purchase more Dragon Country goods, which can alleviate the impact of U.S. dollar interest rate hikes to a certain extent.
It’s not that Jewish capital has never thought about speculating on the Dragon National Currency and accelerating the outflow of international capital from the Dragon Kingdom, but the 3 trillion U.S. dollars of foreign exchange reserves and hidden reserves that have not yet been announced are beyond their reach.
If you really believe the 3 trillion U.S. dollars announced to the public, then you are really an honest person.
If you look at the military industry, you will know that before the new equipment is fully displayed, it means that there is more advanced equipment in the military industry. The same is true for foreign exchange reserves. But don’t think that the national think tank will not have any countermeasures. .
But this time.
The national think tank miscalculated.
They did not expect that after Chen Xing completed the Nikkei 225, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones Oil Index, he would do something special again and directly come up with the concept of brain-computer interface, which detonated the dragon of linked technology. National currency foreign exchange market.
……
The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
Two deputy directors and three market analysts gathered in the director's office. As the director, Zhao Ge looked at the beating data on the OLED screen in front of him and said with emotion: "Chen Xing gave us another report." It’s a problem. In half an hour, the exchange rate of Longguo currency has increased by 3%. This is not conducive to the entry of international capital.”
“Do you want to intervene?”
The deputy director on the right asked. .
"Listen to what Aqiang and the others have to say. It is not good to intervene in the market rashly. Besides, the concept of brain-computer interface is too shocking. Now that our Longguo currency is linked to technology, it is really difficult to intervene." Another A deputy director commented.
After the words fell, the three directors all looked at the analyst team in the office.
The three analysts looked at each other. The tall and thin man in the middle pushed up his glasses and replied: "Rush intervention will be counterproductive. Moreover, appreciation of currency exchange rates does not necessarily drive away foreign investment. If the brain-computer interface concept works Well, maybe it will attract a large number of pharmaceutical companies to invest in Longguo."
"I think we can intervene appropriately."
At this time, the tall and thin man wearing a blue shirt, The female analyst with a ponytail paired with dark blue jeans gave the opposite answer.
"I agree with what Brother Qiang said, but I think there can be a better plan."
The female analyst was polite at first, and then expressed her thoughts: "Now Longxing Group, WuXi Group and Ruijin Hospital have come up with a brain-computer interface concept that has caused a sensation in the medical community. Foreign investment is definitely ready to take action. This can be seen just by looking at the currency exchange rate.”
“If we continue to intervene artificially, Will letting the exchange rate fall back to around 6.87 allow international capital to see more considerable profits and let them invest?"
After finishing his words, Zhao Ge and the two deputy bureau chiefs nodded their heads, obviously interested in the woman. Analysts are more sympathetic.
"Also..."
Zhao Ge was about to speak, but was interrupted by the tall, thin man called Brother Qiang, who refuted the female analyst's point of view.
“Yes, depreciation of the exchange rate can attract foreign investment, but don’t forget that our Longguo currency is now linked to high-tech industries. If it does not appreciate at this time, it will instead be devalued through artificial intervention. What will international capital think? "
Just after he finished speaking, he added: "Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"The economy needs intervention, and a market that is left alone will ultimately be a failure. I don’t think it’s a slap in the face for the barbaric market. Moderate intervention is beneficial to the economy.”
“Then what do you mean by moderation? You are just like the retail investors in the downward trend of the stock market. It’s the bottom, it turns out to be the waist!”
"The appropriate amount is around 6.87."
"You are going against the trend. If Wall Street capital goes long on the Dragon National Currency exchange rate at this time, it will get twice the result with half the effort. How will you respond?"
" You are really worrying too much.”
The two of them insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
It is not difficult to see that both of them have their own opinions on market economy and methods.
Zhao Ge and the two directors looked at each other, and finally looked at the young man who had not spoken yet and was listening to the argument between the two.
The young man is about 28 years old, with a fair face and a studentish look on his face, but he is a financial transfer student who has been hand-picked for internship. He is a reserve candidate for the future village chief of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. His name is Yan Shihong.
"I think..." Yan Shihong just started, and the male and female analysts who were still arguing stopped and waited for him to express his opinion.
"The market needs intervention." "Take a look." The female analyst immediately answered and praised: "It must be our Xiao Hong, who has unique insight."
< br>
However, before she was happy for a few seconds, Yan Shihong changed the topic again: "But if it is possible not to intervene, I think I will not intervene."
"Look, look." Male The analyst followed suit and gave a thumbs up: "This is a top student in economics and finance, going against the trend. This is the stupidest way."
"You!"
The female analyst stretched out her index finger and pointed at the male analyst. She was about to refute, but was interrupted by two coughs.
"Ahem."
Zhao Ge coughed twice, looked at Yan Shihong and asked, "Xiao Hong, please continue to tell us how we can resolve this fluctuation."
< br> Yan Shihong nodded and expressed his thoughts: "Both Brother Qiang and Sister Zhao are right. They can cope with the current situation alone, but combined, I think it will be better, so I think the currency appreciation rate should be controlled within Today’s 3% allows Longguocoin’s technological attributes to be recognized by the market.”
“Once the increase exceeds 3%, human intervention is needed to cool it down so that it can attract international capital. Invest next time to promote domestic economic development.”
“Yes!”
Zhao Ge nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, as Yan Shihong said, the current situation is best handled gently, not only to reflect the technological attributes of Longguo currency, but also to attract the attention of international capital.
"What do you think?" Zhao Ge asked.
“No opinion.”
“Me too.”
Two analysts expressed their opinions one after another.
After determining that human intervention was needed, the two deputy bureaus also began to arrange manpower to curb the rise of Longguo currency in the foreign exchange market, and the overall fluctuation was around 3%.
After the two deputy bureaus and three analysts left to guide the work, Zhao Ge looked at the OLED screen and sighed: "Chen Xing, Chen Xing, you are really capable of tossing people. Even my foreign exchange The administration has been mobilized by you."
...
On the other side.
The Village Chief’s Office of the Securities Regulatory Commission.
Xiao Gang did not go home to rest. Instead, he stared at the foreign exchange market and said in surprise: "Someone took action to curb the increase. Who took action?"
Originally, he was busy at work until eight o'clock, and he was just about to get off work. I saw news that Longxing Group and WuXi Group developed a brain-computer interface and cured a patient with ALS.
At first he didn't care, but it wasn't until he asked friends in the medical field that he realized how shocking it was to be cured of ALS.
At the same time, he also learned from his doctor friends that neurologists from well-known hospitals such as Xiehe, West China, and Xiangtan were rushing to Shanghai. This also made Xiao Gang smell something unusual and chose Stay and continue working overtime.
With the changes in the foreign exchange market, he also clearly understood the influence of the concept of brain-computer interface on the medical field.
"Would you like to call Chen Xing?"
Xiao Gang murmured to himself.
He really wanted to hear Chen Xing personally admit that the brain-computer interface was the core technology provided by Longxing Group and had cured a case of ALS.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he still chose not to disturb.
Because according to his understanding, the old chief has personally taken action to talk to Chen Xing about the "Seven Economic Brothers". If he presses so hard, he is afraid that it will cause resentment.
Xiao Gang turned off the screen of his mobile phone, shook his head and said: "That's all, at this point, maybe everyone has rested, so I'd better wait for the old chief to tell the result and then I'll contact him."
With Xiao Gang Different from the calm, Zhao Chenguang, who was far away in Changxi, was a little angry. He slapped the table and complained:
"Grandma's Chen Xing, I just said last time that I have no trump cards, and now I have another one." Zhang Wangzhao is still in the medical field. This is obviously treating me as an outsider. No, Siqiu must be strengthened, and the wealth cannot flow to outsiders. "
The last time Nvidia's Huang Renxun returned to China, He asked Chen Xing if he had any trump cards, and got the answer that he didn't.
Zhao Chenguang is convinced of this answer and believes that Longxing Group needs time to accumulate technology.
After all, in just three years, Longxing Technology Company has spanned to Longxing Group, from fast charging to chips, to information communications and energy, and the trump card is too scary!
But Zhao Chenguang never expected that he would be deceived by Chen Xing, a young boy, and he would develop a brain-computer interface with WuXi Group and cure a case of ALS.
Deep! It’s so unfathomable!
He now seriously doubts that Chen Xing still has hidden black technology that has not been exposed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chenguang lost his composure. He picked up his cell phone, looked through his address book, and made a call.
"Dududu——"
After several busy tones, a sweet voice came out.
"Dad, it's so late, what's going on?"
"Where are you now?"
Zhao Chenguang asked.
"Magic City." Zhao Siqiu responded.
The last time Chen Xing was attacked, Zhao Siqiu returned to the army for retraining. After the devil-like special training, she also learned how to secretly protect targets in a bustling city.
Although Chen Xing only took Jiang Ce to Magic City, in fact, half of the flight to Magic City were pretending to be passengers.
Yes!
Half of it is fake!
Now the country's attention to Chen Xing has gone beyond the academician level.
This is because the Longxing Group’s impact on Longguo’s economy and technology has made the “Centennial Rejuvenation Plan” decades ahead of schedule. If this trend continues, the think tank predicts that it will take less than two years. The winner is about to be decided.
"Oh, how does Chen Xing treat you?"
Zhao Chenguang asked again.
Zhao Siqiu glanced at the Four Seasons Hotel in the distance, where Chen Xing and the deans gathered for dinner, and responded: "It's pretty good. He gave me an unlimited card, and he was very generous. "
"What about him?"
Zhao Chenguang continued to ask.
Zhao Siqiu was very nervous and still didn't realize what Zhao Chenguang wanted to say, so he responded: "I'm also good to him. I'm under 24-hour protection. It's early in the morning and I'm still waiting for him to come out."
“I’m asking about that kind of thing.”
“What kind of thing?”
"Feelings, feelings."
Zhao Chenguang chose to open the skylight and speak frankly. Otherwise, Zhao Siqiu would probably be able to hang out with him for more than ten minutes.
"Oh, feelings." Zhao Siqiu suddenly realized it, and then poured cold water on it and said: "There is no progress, he may not be interested in me."
"Or maybe." He just said After finishing, he thought of something again and continued: "He may like men. I don't think he has ever dated a woman. Dad, do you think this is possible?"
Zhao Chenguang: "..."< br>
Like men?
This shouldn’t be the case!
Isn’t it rumored by the outside world that Chen Xing and Li Zhen really have an unclear relationship?
Is it because my daughter lacks femininity?
Can’t attract him?
When he thought that Chen Xing might have a trump card, and that this guy actually treated him as an outsider and deliberately hid it, he became angry. However, Zhao Chenguang did not show it, but asked patiently: "Then you didn't boldly show your love?"< br>
“I told you.”
“What did he say?”
“He said he wouldn’t consider it in the past two years, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"Still a career maniac." Zhao Chenguang murmured to himself, and then he thought of something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly and said:
"I don't believe it. Normal men can resist temptation, daughter. , I will send you a few shopping links, even if Chen Xing is a stone in the pit, we have to clean him up."
"Send it."
Zhao Siqiu didn't know why. I didn’t think much about it.
As the phone hung up, Zhao Chenguang opened Taobao.com on his mobile phone, entered the words "sexy lingerie" and clicked search.
Next second.
Several breathtaking and passionate product pictures pop up.
Lace, hollow design, looming, even the model pictures have been processed, but no normal man can refuse this instinctive temptation.
“Tsk, city people really know how to play.”
Zhao Chenguang sighed, then he saved a few links and sent them to Zhao Siqiu.
“Didi——”
Hear the new news on WeChat.
Zhao Siqiu, who was still standing guard outside the Four Seasons Hotel, didn't think much and copied the link to Taobao. When she saw the pop-up pictures of the products and models.
The roots of her ears turned red instantly.
Is this really clothes?
Where is it covered?
What's the difference between wearing it and not wearing it?
"I'm not serious, tell mom to go." Zhao Siqiu's cheeks were dyed red. After saving the screenshot, he found his mother's WeChat and sent a voice message: "Mom, look at dad, he asked me to wear this dress Go seduce Chen Xing.”
“Phew——”
The WeChat message was sent successfully.
Touch for about three minutes.
A voice reply popped up in Zhao’s mother’s chat box: “It’s definitely not okay for our baby Qiuqiu to wear such immoral clothes to seduce men, but then again, if it’s to seduce Chen Xing, then it’s okay Mom didn’t say anything.”
