Chapter VII System
"What is Professor Wu's condition now?" Wu Xin asked as soon as he entered the laboratory, followed by Mo Yuan.
"From 14:30, I have been in a coma. Researcher A replied.
Mo Yuan thought about something thoughtfully.
"Have you tried the wake-up program?" Wu Xin asked, although, she knew the answer.
"Yes, three standard wake-up procedures and one emergency wake-up procedure have been performed, and Professor Wu is still in a coma. ”
Mo Yuan looked at Wu Tian lying on the sofa, he looked much thinner than on TV, and he wore a device similar to headphones on his head, the same as the one he wore when he entered the experience system before. "Was that what I was like then? as if I was asleep. Mo Yuan thought and asked a question, he knew that this question was simple for those researchers, but this was the beginning of his series of questions. "Excuse me, what's the difference between dreaming in sleep and being in a coma?" asked Mo Yuan.
"To put it simply, the state in which an animal's physiological activity is low due to the functional activity of the brain, and the state in which it can be fully awakened by appropriate stimulation is called sleep. Dream is a subjective experience, which is the imaginary images, sounds, thoughts or feelings produced by a person during certain stages of sleep. Coma is a state of deep loss of consciousness, unable to be awakened, and unresponsive to light and sound. Wu Xin mechanically answered Mo Yuan's question while checking Wu Tian's monitoring data.
Mo Yuan knew that Wu Xin was just answering his question in passing, and still continued, "Ah, I know, REM sleep, I will dream at this stage. ”
"Actually, dreams can also occur in non-REM sleep stages, but REM sleep, that is, the dreams during 'REM sleep', which you call 'REM sleep', are rich in details and easy to remember, and easy to recall after waking up, while dreams during non-REM sleep are more abstract and not easy to remember, and they are impossible to detect after waking up. Wu Xin continued to answer Mo Yuan's questions mechanically, and at the same time, checked the latest setting change of the system.
Mo Yuan looked up at the ceiling of the laboratory, the light was evenly sprinkled on everyone present, every corner, the temperature and humidity of the air were comfortable, although it was a little dull, but there was no tense atmosphere, everyone was doing their work step by step, if there was not such a big living person lying there motionless, who would have expected that there would be an experimental accident here. "Perhaps, this is not the first time such an incident has happened," Mo Yuan speculated.
"Has Professor Wu been personally involved in the experiment?" asked Mo Yuan.
"Yes, we have advised him many times to involve other researchers or volunteers," Researcher A replied, "but he didn't agree. ”
"It's to prevent accidents from hurting other ......," Mo Yuan said halfway through.
"I will be the first to experience all kinds of exciting wonders and wonders in this world, all kinds of unexpected situations. That's what Professor Wu said. When Wu Xin said this, there was a little helplessness and pity in his eyes, looking at his father who was lying there sleeping, his eyes were slightly misty, and then they became bright again.
"What is the relationship between time in the empirical system and time in the real world?" Mo Yuan asked seriously.
"The time in the experience system is consistent with the customer's local time. Wu Xin replied, thought about it, and continued to add, "In order to avoid the problems that may be caused by similar time differences, we set the time in the experience system, and the time in the 'hour, minute, second' part is consistent with the customer's local time. ”
"That is to say, if I want to experience the life of the people in ancient times, such as the Song Dynasty, when I enter the experience system, the date, for example, will be set to July 21, 1110, which is very different from my current date, but in the 'hours, minutes, seconds' part is the same as my current one. I'm not wrong about my understanding, right?" Mo Yuan asked.
"Yes, you understand it correctly, Mr. Writer. Wu Xin's words couldn't tell whether they were praise or slight ridicule.
As a self-proclaimed second-rate writer, Mo Yuan didn't care about this, and continued to ask: "Professor Wu should have had a similar situation before, I noticed that everyone in the laboratory is not particularly nervous, but methodically checking the relevant records, data and settings, so how long does it usually take to get out of a coma?"
"The longest one, three days. Researcher A replied.
"This is my business card, and although you have my customer profile with my contact information on it, I feel the need to hand you the business card personally. Ling Zun's situation, I am very worried, as his old friend, I very much hope to be the first to know the news of his improvement, I have not talked to him for a long time. Mo Yuan said solemnly, handed the business card to Wu Xin, Wu Xin took the business card with both hands, and said, "After Jia Yan wakes up, he will notify you as soon as possible." ”
"Well, this is the designated area of the staff, I really don't want to stay for a long time, and I should leave first. ”
"Okay, I'll take you to the exit of Area A, you still haven't done a psychological assessment, go and do it, though, I don't think your psychological evaluation is a big problem. Wu Xin smiled.
"I hope so. ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three days later.
"Hello, are you Mr. Mo Yuan?"
"Well, Miss Wu, hello, I haven't received a call from you for so long, presumably, Ling Zun has long been out of a coma and has recovered his health, and the work of scientists is so busy, you don't have time to contact me. ”
"Jia Yan did get out of the coma, but he was never able to regain consciousness and entered the so-called 'vegetative state'. Before, I have been busy dealing with various problems, and today, I have time to tell you. ”
"Vegetative?" Mo Yuan was secretly surprised in his heart, this experience system could cause this kind of damage, but fortunately it didn't happen to him, "Where is Ling Zun now?" Mo Yuan asked.
"The laboratory, where there is the best equipment, and at the same time, he is still connected to the experience system and cannot be forcibly moved. ”
"I'm not a professional, but I'd love to visit him. I don't know if it's possible?"
"Yes, Mr. Writer. It's past eight o'clock, can you get to the entrance of Zone A at ten o'clock? I'll lead you in. ”
"Okay, I'll be there at ten. ”
