Shang Jianyao was stunned for a moment and said:
"What's the use of this?"
He didn't even know what to do with himself.
Du Heng pointed to the ground:
"look."
"I don't see it!" Shang Jianyao responded reflexively, looking down at the soles of his feet.
Those floor tiles have been blurred at some point, revealing the situation of the next layer.
There and this floor are just upside down, the ceiling is the ground and the floor is the ceiling.
There is another self under Shang Jianyao, he is like a shadow, his feet extend out from under Shang Jianyao's feet, the whole person hangs upside down but there is no sign of cerebral congestion.
This business Jianyao held the small speaker that appeared, looked at Xiaochong who was playing a game not far away, and said happily:
"I won't lose to you in this game now."
Xiaochong grumbled and replied:
"Wait and try."
The Shang Jianyao in front of Du Heng turned his attention to the surroundings again.
Every wall here is completely blurred, and the scenes of different businessmen meeting Yao and different Du Heng are printed out.
There are the reckless Shang Jianyao exchanging experiences with the rebellious high school student Du Shaochong, and the calm and rational Shang Jianyao asking about the awakening of scientist Du Heng. There are nine scenes in all.
After taking his eyes away from himself, who was attaching importance to feelings and comforting the experimental subject Du Shaochong, Shang Jianyao lowered his head again and glanced at himself below.
"Ten..." He was puzzled and shocked.
He immediately looked at Du Heng, who was opposite, and blurted out:
"I only have ten personalities, why do I have eleven myself now
"Who am I?"
This "I" refers to him in the current room.
Du Heng smiled:
"I and you are in a collective state."
"Oh..." Shang Jianyao gave an expression of "I see, but I still don't understand".
His mind jumped and turned uncontrollably to another matter:
"When did Xiaochong get you back?"
Du Heng smiled and replied:
"Thanks to you.
"When you opened the liquid nitrogen tank at the Hom Reproductive Medical Center, and brought the white gas into the 'sea of origin', when it solidified with Xiaochong's gap, he returned."
As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, the lights of the machines in the room brightened at the same time, flickering faster and faster.
"This is?" Shang Jianyao's face was staggered with lights, red, yellow and blue.
Du Heng sighed slightly and said:
"'Siming' they started."
Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:
"What are they doing and what role do I play?"
He was obsessed with the latter question.
Du Heng replied quite calmly:
"What they need is for you to open that door, for multiples of you and multiples of me to be in contact at the same time.
"Only in this way can they accurately locate the room where our two collective states are located, and then bypass the barrier from multiple entrances and invade here, making it difficult for me to defend."
"I don't understand." Shang Jianyao shook his head honestly.
Then, he kindly suggested:
"Either you are busy first, and I will explain in detail later."
Du Heng glanced at the rapidly flashing, sometimes bright and sometimes dim machine lights, smiled and said:
"There's still a little time, just to communicate."
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao was not polite.
…
In the whirlpool-shaped building, the experimental area filled with instruments like a high-level computer room.
Jiang Baimian retracted his thoughts and planned to take the time to study the situation of the "host" and whether the surrounding "space capsules" could still be used.
At this moment, she saw the signal lights on the "host" light up at the same time, flashing rapidly, as if something important was happening.
Jiang Baimian pondered for a while, turned around without hesitation, and ran to the place where he came in.
There was something unusual, and she had to quickly communicate with the "outside" Shang Jianyao.
Fortunately for her, there is no other exit here, only one way.
…
In the "labyrinth", the room full of machines and all the walls are blurred.
Du Heng showed an expression of memory and sighed:
"This thing has to start with humans starting to study consciousness and study natural superpowers."
"If it's a long story, it's a long story short." Shang Jianyao still understands that the current scene is short.
Du Heng pointed at him and smiled:
"You, none of the students I taught in the past dared to speak to me like this. Even Wu Meng, the most talented in scientific research, would only imitate me and read books such as "The Tao Te Ching" and "Three Profound Notes". But not asking for much.”
"Wu Meng is your student?" Shang Jianyao was shocked.
"I helped him get the name of Wu Meng." Du Heng shook his head. "That's another matter. Let's get back to the point."
Wu Meng himself is from the Red River.
"Hmm." Shang Jianyao kept his mouth shut and nodded frequently.
Du Heng once again showed the look of memory:
"I have shown a special place since I was a child, and I was receiving observation and research while reading, which also caused me to be autistic and rebellious in high school for a period of time, so that my ability has not become stronger.
"Later I figured out that instead of letting others study me, it's better for me to study myself, so I worked hard to study and became a famous brain scientist and superpower researcher.
"When various countries set up nine future-oriented research institutes, I was invited to become the chief scientist and president of the eight academies."
"No wonder Olei knows you." Shang Jianyao finally couldn't help but interject.
They are both chief scientists in their respective fields.
"We've met several times, and Maximian has encountered a bottleneck in artificial intelligence. He wants to find some inspiration from us and the Sixth Institute." Du Heng replied simply, "I won't say much about the research, anyway, you are also I don't understand, your companion named Jiang Baimian is still there."
He looked dazed and said:
"On that day, Oke, Richard, Lin Sui, Mono, Duffy Tiel, Sylvie, and I took two experimental volunteers into the core area, intending to try our research results."
"Are those two volunteers Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue?" Shang Jianyao asked.
"Yes." Du Heng nodded, "The machine we built is half from our own research, and half from the results of exchanges between the Sixth Institute. Well, the Sixth Institute is the 'Eternal Life' project team.
"That machine can create a virtual reality space, like a big game of holographic projection.
"We connected the brains of Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue, and planned to use a special method to stimulate their claustrum and thalamus to awaken their remaining consciousness. The current body and that machine have a new consciousness and live in a virtual world.
"In order to prevent the sudden death of the body, we have prepared a lot of biochips and memories, and the structure of those biochips will be affected by the corresponding, amplified brain waves, changing to a certain extent to adapt to different humans.
"The level of those people in the Sixth Academy is really good."
While Shang Jianyao was in high spirits, he asked worriedly:
"Is it really too late?"
The machines around the room were flickering more and more intensely, and it seemed that "Si Ming" and other Zhi Sui would come in at any time.
"Once I'm old, it's endless when I recall the past." Du Heng laughed at himself, "Don't worry, I split up more than ten personalities, and I have been operating here for a long time, so there is no problem in blocking them for a while."
Shang Jianyao put his worries behind him:
"The experiment failed?"
"In a sense, it was actually a success, and it was a success that exceeded expectations." Du Heng said with a slight sigh, "We initially took Li Hui as the subject of the experiment, but we can see that his brain waves gradually returned to normal. The direction mutated, but his thalamic region suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
"The corresponding place becomes a strange black hole, and the vortex draws our consciousness out of the body and sucks it in.
"Most of the people in the second research area died in this storm, and only a few survived in a special way, and several cities related to us also suffered the same disaster, some of which were more serious, and the whole situation was completely destroyed in an instant. The city died, and some were relatively good, but only partially, but the remaining human beings have basically become 'intentional ones'."
"Taicheng." Shang Jianyao pointed out where the previous situation happened.
Du Heng's expression changed slightly, he sighed and said:
"Although I was rebellious in high school, the experience of studying in Taicheng is still a very good memory for me."
He didn't talk much about this topic, and continued to recall:
"I was the first to wake up and found myself without a body, but my consciousness was still there, floating in the 'darkness'.
"After spending a little time checking and researching, I have an initial guess:
"The mystery of human consciousness involves things at a higher level, or the model must be established in a higher dimension. Our research results are lacking. Although we successfully awakened Li Hui's consciousness, it also opens the door to a higher dimension. The 'door', produced a series of chain reactions, causing the catastrophe of the destruction of the old world.
"I don't know if that 'door' is because it sucked billions of human consciousness and obtained enough energy, or something else, dragged our machine-made virtual reality to a higher dimension, forming a A 'dark world' overlapping with dust.
"And our consciousness relies on the biological chip attached to that machine, sojourns in this world and survives."
"An advanced version of the 'Eternal Life' plan?" Shang Jianyao has always been obsessed with mechanical monks.
Du Heng nodded:
"That's it.
"And then I was amazed to find that with this 'dark world' I could project my power into every part of the ashes, as long as I could locate...
"Here, we are like the legendary gods.
"At this time, Li Hui, Jiang Xiaoyue, Zhao Danlin, Oke, Lin Sui, Yu Huatong, Wenster, and Brian also woke up.
"Because I was the dean, the chief scientist, and knew more about the 'darkness' than they did, so they all chose to follow my orders at the time, and with the help of that machine and our power, they built such a second research facility. The city is modeled after the district, and they call it the 'New World'.
"The main body of the 'new world' is our spiritual power, which is essentially a space of consciousness higher than reality.
"In the process of building the 'New World', I took the authority over that machine and gave them the corresponding power."
