"Dreams are the things that humans are most likely to forget."
Chen Chen whispered as he walked, "I once read a research paper on dreams. It said that within 5 minutes of waking up from sleep, about 50% of the content of the dream will be forgotten. Within the next 15 minutes, more than 90% of the details of the dream will be forgotten.”
"So, dreams may indeed be a kind of 'counter-information' that exists in reality."
Chen Chen continued, "Of course, the counter-information here has nothing to do with the antimemetic effect. The reason why dreams are easily forgotten is actually because there is a type of 'MCH neuron' in the brain, which can secrete a ' "Melanin-accumulating hormones', these neurons and secreted hormones map to the hippocampus, the area of the brain that primarily controls memory."
"In experiments, activating these neurons inhibits memory, and these MCH neurons that inhibit memory are only active during the 'rapid eye movement' period, which is a characteristic of human dreaming. In other words, the brain happens to inhibit memory formation during the stage of sleep that produces dreams."
“Because dreaming mainly occurs in the rapid eye movement period, and this stage is the period when MCH neurons are active, it will prevent the hippocampus from storing dream memories. This is why dreams that humans have often disappear after waking up. The reason for forgetting..."
After hearing Chen Chen's explanation, Xiao
"Well… "
Chen Chen shook his head, "We can start from this aspect and try to create a dream-like meme to achieve the same effect as an antimeme. This can be regarded as a research direction."
"All right."
Little Keep it simple.”
Chen Chen nodded, and this policy was tentatively decided, "Very good, but it's better to do it as quickly as possible."
As he said that, Chen Chen frowned slightly.
"Are you worried about the Federation's quantum computing?"
Little
Chen Chen suddenly stopped when he heard this. He frowned, and finally said what was in his mind. "For some reason, I have always felt inexplicable uneasiness since I merged with the T virus and became a non-human."
"At first, I thought it was just an illusion, or the discomfort of transforming into a non-human being. But now a month has passed, but this uneasiness has not diminished at all. Instead, it has become more and more intense. Even taking NZT-48 cannot alleviate it. …”
Little "
Hearing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but nodded, "It seems that all this is not my illusion... When I fused the T virus, there were indeed hidden dangers that I didn't discover."
"Dream… "
But at this moment, Little At that time, the dream was mentioned again. If this is a subconscious suggestion, does it mean that the source of uneasiness in your heart is related to the dream? "
Chen Chen's pupils shrank.
He suddenly recalled that he had indeed had a very terrifying dream when he was fusing the T virus, but when he woke up, he had forgotten all about it. The only thing he could remember was the dream. itself…
For a person like Chen Chen whose willpower and self-discipline are terrifying, this is almost impossible to happen.
Then, the only explanation is that there was something in that dream that was enough to make my subconscious feel ominous.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen suddenly realized that he was almost certain that the source of his uneasiness must be something in the dream!
"That ominousness does not come from the T virus itself."
Chen Chen suddenly murmured, "After all, I have been undergoing blood tests every day recently. If there are any subsequent problems with the T virus, they will definitely be discovered. But, if there is not a problem with the T virus and my body, what could it be?"
"Do you need hypnosis to retrieve that dream?"
Little X asked, "Perhaps hypnosis can help you recall everything in your dream."
Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "You can try..."
With that said, Chen Chen left the park and stood on the roadside. Within half a minute, a commercial vehicle stopped in front of Chen Chen. Chen Chen opened the door and got in.
"Don't go back to the Spire Experimental Base."
Chen Chen shook his head, "Go to the Faraday cage built in the industrial park and put me in it."
"you… "
Little X hesitated, "Do you suspect that this is a memetic effect?"
"no."
Chen Chen shook his head. Just when Xiao X breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Chen suddenly said, "I suspect this is an antimemetic effect."
"ah… "
Little X whispered, "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
Chen Chen shook his head and said nothing more.
Dreams, antimemes…
Perhaps it was really because my subconscious mind was constantly warning me that I was able to overturn the key factor of antimemetics and dreams.
For ordinary people, this is of course a very outrageous thing. How can the subconscious mind be so intelligent? But if you take NZT-48, all this is not impossible...
After all, this drug has never let me down.
Chen Chen thought silently.
However, if this is really the case, then all this is very scary. Is he actually infected with an antimeme without knowing it
But where did this antimeme come from? "Killing City" plane
No, it's impossible!
If it was spread from the "Killing City" plane, doesn't it mean that the USB flash drive does not have the power to block the memetic effect? Then it would have been impossible for him to get rid of the entanglement of the memetic effect of "crash sound".
Therefore, these two causal relationships are in conflict.
So, since it did not spread from the "Killing City" plane, where did this antimeme come from
The commercial vehicle drove quickly on the flat road and soon left the Life Sciences City and headed towards the industrial park.
In the vehicle, Chen Chen fell into deep contemplation.
