Monday the 13th,

After being continuously exposed to radiation for an entire night, the Zero-gift individual experienced skin and superficial subcutaneous tissue ulceration, partial nail loss, albinism-like lesions in the corneas, abnormal liver function, stem cell mutation, elevated platelet count, and multiple deep vein thrombosis.
Zero once again demonstrated its extraordinary self-healing ability; its stem cell index returned to normal levels within 2 hours, without the use of any thrombolytic drugs; all deep vein thrombosis was cleared, thrombin levels returned to normal, and all symptoms disappeared within 5 hours.
It is worth noting that the pain and psychological trauma caused by the radiation experiment have not subsided, and we have had to use more potent antibiotics and analgesics with more side effects to keep Zero stable.

Tuesday, the 14th
When Subject Zero was fed a curry fried rice meal containing the Σ strain and C12 radioactive material, numerous ulcers, cysts, and polyps were detected in his esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
To control the damage and prevent sudden death from multiple organ failure, we used a tubing-assisted drainage system to remove toxins and collected the excrement for chemical analysis.
Six hours after the experiment, the ulcer cysts completely disappeared, proving that psionic energy can effectively repair multiple injuries to smooth muscle.

·
Wednesday the 15th
A craniotomy was performed on Talented Individual No. 189, and the arachnoid membrane was injected with psionic mutant strains Type-β and Type-γ. Vital signs were stable, but no valid data could be detected.

Six hours into the experiment, Subject 189 remained mired in severe depression and intermittent mania, exhibiting zombie-like attack symptoms; I termed him a psionic zombie.
One theory has been confirmed: the subject's mood can greatly affect the stability of their psionic output.

For example, the Zero Talent has the psychic safety expert Mr. Li Ang by her side, who provides her with emotional value, while the 189 Talent has no long-term emotional guidance. The former's psychic output is obviously much more stable.

Thursday, the 16th
The fusion of Talent No. 189 with the mutant failed, causing his blood oxygen to plummet to 58, resulting in multiple organ failure. He was abandoned and handed over to the Scavenger.

Additional information: At 14:31 PM, No. 189 suddenly tore open the body bag, crawled out of the freezer, and attacked the cleaner.
After causing two deaths, he was shot dead by arriving corporate soldiers. This was a surprise, a surprise of making use of waste; this failed talent still had value.
The head office is very interested in biological weapons; it's a very profitable business.

I had my intern, Bill Crane, collect and freeze fragments from number 189 for further study, to extract as much of their remaining value as possible.

·
Friday the 17th
After two days of rest and recuperation, coupled with the emotional support provided by Mr. Li Ang, Zero was in good spirits, and the experiment could continue.

A DPC25 smart control chip was implanted at the No. 0 temporal lobe brain interface. The memory particles are linked to the neuronal synaptic mediators, and a continuous 12V voltage is applied for stimulation.

The relationship between neuronal signals and psionic energy intensity was monitored, and valid data obtained has been uploaded to the project team's cloud drive.
PS: (Additional Explanation) Zero regained some of her memories and, in her coma, called out the name of her older brother (Jinguji Takatoshi). As always, she was injected with an Alzheimer's disease-simulating strain to erase her memories. However, the strain's effect is becoming increasingly limited because Zero's recovery ability is becoming more and more tenacious.
I am very worried that one day Zero's abilities will break through the limitations of our research institute's restraint facilities, causing unimaginable disaster.
By then, the psionic intensity will reach astronomical levels, causing a cataclysmic psionic burst that our Corporate warriors will be unable to quell, and even the entire Federation army would struggle to suppress it.
To prevent problems before they arise, if there are any signs of the situation getting out of control, the only option is to remove a large portion of the zero frontal lobe to create a living specimen resembling dementia.

If this still cannot be controlled, the only option is to completely dissect and cut it, then soak it in the culture medium.

(Overtime, overtime, I'm working overtime like crazy! You damn Joseph, you old devil! You made me work like a dog when I was in school!) The content in parentheses has been edited and deleted by the author.

All psionic mutant strains were devoured by the Zero-type Talent's immune system, and the trauma from the craniotomy healed itself within 5 hours.
I was stunned, the entire project team was stunned. We couldn't detect the individual's metabolic level. Without a doubt, this was an unprecedented super life form that would bring us the damn sweet Nobel Prize!
Senior researcher Mike Jon believed we were blaspheming a demigod's body. My project team would never tolerate such a charlatan, so I fired him on the spot.
Morality and ethics are roadblocks on the path of psionic development. To succeed, we must use a road roller to crush these damn roadblocks into the asphalt.

In the afternoon, we conducted a puncture test, inserting sterilized stainless steel needles into the fingernail and joint of number zero. We used audio analysis software to examine the relationship between her cries and psionic waveforms, much like zoologists use sonar to study whale communication.

(Psionic security expert Li Ang expressed his concerns, and I told him that taboos are meant to be broken, and if human rights organizations come looking for trouble, they can simply be sent away with enough bribes.)
I told Li Ang that Zero wasn't human, just a lab rat, and that his relationship with Zero was just a charade, a pretense. If this kid dared to keep nagging, I would definitely fire him. But the old man seemed to treat this kid like one of his own, protecting him at every turn, which was really infuriating!
That damned Joseph Bitden, back in college he used his status as a top-tier government-funded expert and doctoral supervisor to make me work like a slave in the lab, spending my whole life there.

He acts like a king at the company, bossing everyone around. I'm so fed up with this! (The content in parentheses has been edited and deleted by the author.)

Sunday the 19th, a day off.
I received an email this afternoon informing me of a major project Dr. Victor was working on using the headquarters' supercomputers: the Terra human gene simulation fusion experiment. The results showed that the unique rarity of Talent Zero was one in 1178 trillion.

Undoubtedly, she is a super life form that appears only once in billions of years. In her presence, even the self-proclaimed ancient and noble Eldar seem as inferior as goblins. She is the golden key to the explosion of psionic technology.
Many senior executives at headquarters want to snatch her away from us. We must deliver convincing results as soon as possible, ideally with a stunning PowerPoint presentation at the next board meeting, in order to keep this cash cow...

(If it weren't for old Peter Joseph's autocratic approach and his decision to delegate tasks to us young people, our internal competitive situation within the company would never be as passive as it is now.)
However, this old man did not trust the students he had personally trained, and was unwilling to share the credit with everyone. He only wanted to reap the rewards himself, winning the Nobel Prize and making a name for himself in history, gaining both fame and fortune.

He got all the benefits, eating the meat himself and not even sharing a drop of broth with his subordinates!

If the employee were to switch to another senior management team, the compensation would be much better! No overtime and various benefits.
If that old guy does the same thing he did at the last meeting, showing absolutely no respect for me and publicly berating me, the project team leader, like he's criticizing an intern,
I will definitely consider Higashiyama Ruriko's invitation and bring the project team to join the ranks of other senior executives! (The content in brackets has been edited and deleted by the author.)

submit,

I am submitting this week's work log to my esteemed mentor, Dr. Joseph H. Dyn, the director of the institute.
Wishing you good health and longevity!
Your prized student, Ryan Elsson, is forever loyal to you!
