A Novel Phenomenon

He wanted to investigate thoroughly, what exactly was going on?
If this antidote could restore people's eyesight, had no side effects, and didn't require surgery, etc...
That would also be a good thing!
He led the way, following protocol, to inquire with the two remaining nearsighted staff members in the Treatment Team.
According to the descriptions of these two treatment staff members, they appeared to have no problems at all.
There was no obvious pain throughout their bodies; even their reddened eyes felt no pain.
One even explicitly stated that he felt extremely good, especially his eyes, which felt incredibly comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring, with no discomfort whatsoever.
The answers from the two remaining nearsighted staff members made the Treatment Team leader's heart beat even more joyfully.
Although, at this stage, the symptom of red eyes had appeared.
But, overall, no particularly unfavorable symptoms had emerged.
This made the Treatment Team leader feel that everything was still within controllable limits.
Moreover, the changes caused by this antidote were clearly heading in a good direction.
While this leader was examining the other two nearsighted staff members, the assistant he had assigned had already delivered the experimental tools to the first researcher who discovered the phenomenon.
And after conducting the experiment, it was found that this experimental staff member's eyesight had completely recovered, and was even significantly better than his original eyesight.
However, this was considered the first verified case and was not very convincing.
To make this phenomenon more convincing, the assistant directly sought out the leader.
The leader was very surprised to see this assistant.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be helping?"
The assistant replied very calmly.
"Leader, I've already finished helping, and I've measured that experimental staff member's eyesight. It has indeed recovered, and his eyesight is significantly better than his original, like optimized glasses."
The leader looked at the assistant with doubt.
"Optimized? Are you sure?"
At this point, the assistant was not very certain, so he hesitated slightly, looking at the leader.
"I... I'm not entirely sure yet. This is just my speculation. After all, without solid experimental data to support it, I dare not make arbitrary conclusions."
"Meaning, as long as there's more monitoring data, a conclusion can be made?"
"Yes!"
The leader looked at the assistant, understanding in his heart, and said.
"So, you came to me because you want to know if there are similar experimental staff members to collect more data?"
"Yes!"
"Then go!"
A sudden remark made the assistant feel extremely surprised.
Just like that, no further questions?
Although many questions still lingered in his mind, the assistant still followed the leader's steps.
And, following the leader's steps, he also stopped.
After stopping, the leader did not look at the assistant, but directly turned his back to the assistant and said.
"Alright, we're here. These two experimental staff members are the nearsighted people you were looking for. You can start the experiment and collect data now."
Facing the leader with his back turned, unable to see his expression, the assistant's mood was truly a bit unsettled.
He didn't know what the leader's expression was like, unable to grasp the leader's emotions, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Even though the leader had given him orders again, it still couldn't resolve the pressure in his heart.
After all, the leader had his back to him, and his voice showed no difference.
But, the assistant just couldn't grasp the leader's mood.
Was he happy?
Or unhappy?
He couldn't fully understand.
However, for the task the leader had assigned, the assistant still proceeded step by step.
For him, if he didn't know the leader's specific mood right now.
Then, he should work hard!
That way, at least externally, he couldn't be faulted for anything.
Moreover, this job was also what he longed for, being able to complete his own work while collecting data.
This was truly a perfect job!
Because of the efficient equipment, the assistant quickly finished collecting the data.
Through data comparison, the eyesight of these two nearsighted staff members had also completely recovered.
In fact, in terms of vision, there was even a significant improvement.
The eyesight of the first person, based on the original nearsighted data, increased by about 50%.
The other two, however, increased by approximately 30% and 80% respectively.
The degree of improvement varied for each person.
But, everyone showed improvement.
However, even though these three people showed improvement, it didn't represent much.
The sample size was too small!
It couldn't represent anything substantial.
But, these measured data still needed to be reported to the Data Team.
Even though this data was only collected from three people.
The Treatment Team's report of this data also surprised the members of the Data Team.
After all, the Data Team researchers had not seen similar increases in their monitoring data.
When the Treatment Team researchers transmitted this news and data, it even made the Data Team researchers doubt themselves.
These Data Team members were all wondering why their Data Team hadn't received related data.
In fact, the Data Team's machines could test eyesight.
So, as soon as this abnormal eyesight news came out, the Data Team members began to suspect that their machines were broken.
Otherwise... how could they not have measured it?
Of course, this matter was only known to the Data Team members.
The Data Team members did not conceal this news; it's just that no one had inquired too much.
Therefore... many research teams automatically assumed that although the Data Team could monitor data trends and changes, etc...
The Data Team's data was incomplete!
Because of this news, all of the Data Team's machines underwent a complete overhaul.
However, this overhaul found no problems whatsoever; no abnormal data appeared, and they consistently showed normal operation.
This made the researchers even more puzzled.
If the Treatment Team had already provided news confirming the experimental staff's eyesight was indeed abnormal, then what was wrong with these machines?
In fact, after checking the machines and finding no problems, the Data Team also connected with the Treatment Team to see specifically where the error occurred that led to such a situation.
The Data Team even specifically sent people to test the eyesight of those three experimental staff members.
After testing with machines, their eyesight appeared normal.
However, the data from the Data Team still showed that these three people were still nearsighted.
This forced the researchers from the Data Team and the Treatment Team to pull out the very old method of eyesight testing.
The Data Team and the Treatment Team each sent two people to test these three individuals twice, and their eyesight was still normal.
This forced the Data Team to confront this reality.
It seemed that the Data Team's machines might truly be broken and needed someone to fix them!
After all, the most primitive method, one person pointing, one person speaking, couldn't possibly be wrong!
Moreover, the three experimental staff members all got the results correct, without a single mistake.
Even when it came to the very last row...
Currently, the entire N City Research Institute was in a state of... maintaining clinical trials...
However, clinical trials were currently showing errors.
Whether it was a machine problem or a human problem still required investigation.
And the experimental staff members were all in normal condition, except for their reddened eyes and some not-so-important, slightly abnormal data; there were no major problems.
So... the problem needed to be investigated first!
And the researchers from the Data Team and the Treatment Team were not very good at this aspect.
Therefore... the Materials Team researchers once again had work to do!
The Materials Team researchers were very interested in the situation described by the Data Team.
After all, such a situation had never occurred before.
This could be considered a novel phenomenon!
Which was also why the Materials Team researchers were in a very good mood.
The Materials Team researchers, after developing the new paint, had been somewhat idle.
Every day, they were either gradually optimizing the paint or conducting other interesting experiments.
