At the beginning of August, the construction of the forest pyramid in the valley of Changbai Mountain finally began, and everyone in the base had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The drawings of the pyramid, Zhou reporters and the others have already prepared, it is completely a miniature version of the pyramid of Khufu, and Zhu Yan and Chen Lan only need to build it as it is.

The foundation had been dug a few days earlier, and it was dug up to a depth of more than 20 meters, which was more than the height of the above-ground part of the pyramid. This amount of work is very huge, even if Zhu Yan and Chen Lan go all out, and all the people in the base are involved, it will take more than a week to get it done. But this is essential work, and without digging into the rock layers, it is impossible to withstand the terrifying weight of this pyramid.

On the contrary, the construction work after that was more worry-free, Zhu Yan only needed to let those boulders fly up on their own and land in the right place. The surface of the stone he had sharpened with his sword qi was as smooth as a mirror, and it was already tightly closed without any adhesive, and with Chen Lan's help, the speed of construction was extremely fast.

In this way, in just a week, the forest pyramid has gradually taken shape, and as long as the passages and secret rooms inside are perfected, it will be completed.

The above-ground part of the pyramid is divided into two levels, imitating the tombs of kings and queens in the pyramid of Khufu, with the upper floor serving as a spiritual healing room for the future, and the lower floor storing important materials such as elixirs and potions. However, some modifications have been made to the original design of the underground part, and there are also two floors, each with four quiet rooms, each with an entrance to connect with the underground tunnel. Each ashram is small in size, less than 10 square meters in size, separated by thick stone walls. In this way, the space can be used reasonably, and the problem of insufficient support and easy collapse caused by too large space can be prevented.

The outer wall of the pyramid does not have many windows, only some small windows for ventilation, which has the advantage of maximizing the efficiency of the collection of energy information. As for the lighting in the tower, it is usually enough to directly install a few electric lights to illuminate it, and it doesn't matter whether it is bright or dark when cultivating.

These details are not in a hurry to be perfected, and it is not too late to solve them in the cultivation process in the future, and everyone in the base is most concerned about how powerful the function of this pyramid is.

On the night when the pyramid was built, there was no time to even open up the ventilation windows, so Mr. and Mrs. Chen and Mr. Zhang couldn't wait to sit in. They meditated for several hours in the spiritual healing room, the medicinal herb room, and the underground meditation room, and when they came out the next day, they couldn't help but look happy when they saw all the smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that the cultivation effect of this pyramid was not ordinarily good.

This also once again verifies the effect of pyramid-shaped buildings on the convergence of heaven and earth. For everyone in the base, no matter what the scientific principle of the pyramid effect is, whether it is metaphysical or superstitious, as long as its function is real, it is enough.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and during the time when Zhu Yan and Chen Lan were building the pyramids, reporters Zhou and Liu also made breakthroughs in translating the clay tablets obtained in the ancient underground villages.

This clay tablet is engraved with cuneiform characters that record ancient cultivation exercises, and the images that have been passed on to experts have translated almost two-thirds of the text, but the remaining one-third of the text has never appeared in other texts, which adds a lot of difficulty to the translation of the entire practice.

Since considering that the cultivation of exercises is directly related to the safety of cultivation, Zhu Yan and several division commanders decided to slow it down, and let Zhou Reporter and the others slowly verify and verify it, and they were not sure enough that they could not practice the exercises on this clay tablet for the time being.

Having said that, but Reporter Zhou and the others were very concerned about the translation of this exercise, because they understood that what was most lacking in the base now was actually the theory of cultivation, and this exercise was undoubtedly very important for mortal cultivators like them. Therefore, in the past few days, they have been working hard, and they are still thinking about the symbols on this clay tablet even when they eat and sleep.

They consulted a large number of materials, especially the symbols similar to these cuneiform characters in ancient scripts, tried to incorporate them into the text one by one, repeatedly figured out the context and semantics before and after, and finally came up with a general meaning.

Although this meaning is a bit strange, through the examination of relevant research data, they believe that there is at least an 80% probability that it is correct, so they reported the news to Zhu Yan and Chen Lan after the pyramid was completed, hoping that they would test whether this meaning was correct through practice.

At first, when Zhu Yan and the others saw the content of these texts, they were indeed a little hard to believe, because they had almost never heard of such a refining method. However, when the reporters took out the relevant research materials that week, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan read them carefully, they felt that this cultivation method was very likely to be correct.

The translated text says that the most important thing for ordinary people to cultivate is to open their minds, and the most important thing to open their minds is to fake their deaths. The so-called suspended animation is to let yourself have no breathing, no heartbeat, and no consciousness. Suspended animation can be achieved by controlling breathing, and the practitioner stops breathing for as long as possible, so that the brain stops running, and as long as this requirement is fulfilled repeatedly, the spiritual aperture will awaken and the ability will be activated.

At first glance, this cultivation theory is really scary, and to put it bluntly, it just makes people hold their breath until they fake their death. According to modern science, this will lead to a severe shortage of oxygen supply to the brain, which will lead to the mass death of brain cells, and even more severely, people will become idiots or even die outright.

But if you think about it, how can anyone hold their breath and screen themselves as idiots or dead? People have a subconscious of self-protection, and people's breathing is controlled by autonomic nerves, once a person's consciousness is blurred, the autonomic nerve automatically takes over the respiratory physiology, and the breath-holding will be automatically lifted, so theoretically people will not hold their breath into suspended animation.

However, if it is really as described in this exercise, it is not absolutely impossible to let your breath down little by little through a set of operations until it is almost none. In Indian yoga and Chinese Taoism, there is a similar exercise, called fake death and burial, it is said that there is a yoga master who buried himself in the ground for three months, and after coming out, there was nothing at all, which surprised everyone.

Ancient Indian yoga, Chinese Taoism, etc., have a close relationship with underground civilizations, so what this practice describes is likely to be true. But why does fake death open the spiritual aperture?

Reporter Zhou is obviously prepared, the information in front of him is a research report on the special function of a university president on the treasure island, the university president is called Li Sijin, he used a brain wave detector to study children's finger literacy function, and also invited some people with special functions to participate in the test. It was found that whenever the ability of a person with special functions appeared, the brain wave detector would show alpha waves, that is, the brain was in a state of hypoxia at this time, without any consciousness, which is the so-called state of suspended animation.

Li Sishuo has done many such experiments, and the results are the same each time, so he made a bold conclusion: the generation of specific functions is based on the state of suspended animation of the brain. This means that as long as the brain is in suspended animation, it is possible for a person to have specific functions.

The most similar phenomenon in medicine is near-death experience, when the patient's brain is in suspended animation due to fever or mechanical damage, he may have some strange non-sensory perception, which is later proven to be correct.

In addition, there is also congenital scholar's syndrome or acquired scholar's syndrome. A person has a congenital brain defect or an acquired brain injury that causes necrosis of brain tissue in a certain area, and as a result, he acquires some inexplicable ability, such as the ability to acquire a foreign language or dialect, the ability to create some kind of art, and so on. These abilities were not acquired by him through his own learning, but rather as the life experience of another person that he had accidentally received.

In 2005, the journal Neurology reported on a case of "accidental genius" caused by a sudden cerebral hemorrhage: before the onset of the disease, the patient had no interest in making art and did not show any talent. But within a few weeks of his sudden subarachnoid hemorrhage, he began to "fill his notebooks with poems, paint exaggeratedly and expressively, and devote almost all of his time to painting and sculpting." ”

Coincidentally, according to the Melbourne Daily News, a 21-year-old Australian college boy woke up from a 17-month car accident coma and spoke fluent Chinese and became the star of a Chinese community TV channel. But what exactly led to the creation of these geniuses, the medical and scientific communities have been exploring the mysteries, but no convincing explanation has been found so far.

One of the materials brought by the reporter Zhou is a report from the "Jiangnan Times", which records the Bruce of the University of California. A study by Dr. Miller reported that there is a button in the human brain that "activates" genius. Dr. Miller's study of 72 patients with brain injuries for various reasons found that once a person had an injury to the right lower temporal part of the brain, it was possible to become a genius in a certain field. This "genius button" is located in a special area under the right temporal side of the human brain, but it is usually oppressed by some neurons and cannot be released. However, when these neurons are damaged or necrotic for various reasons, then the person's creative talents are unleashed to the fullest.

Dmitry Medvedev, director of the Moscow Brain Institute, further confirmed Miller's conclusions, arguing that neurons called "error detectors" exist, that they are a "preventive mechanism" inside the brain and have some kind of function of suppressing genius. It doesn't make people's daily behaviors deviate from the norm, and whenever a new idea comes to people's heads, the "error detector" interferes with the constraints, but if the mechanism goes wrong, those extraordinary ideas and genius theories will continue to emerge. Either, however, this does not explain where the genius and artistic creativity that transcend personal life experience come from.

These materials may be able to prove that there may really be some mysterious password valve in the human brain, which may be the seal of God, which restricts people's ability to receive Yuan Qi information. Once this valve is opened, people can receive endless memory information scattered in space by other life forms, and then the most ordinary person will immediately become a genius. The opening and closing of this mysterious valve is controlled by neurons in the brain that are normally physiologically active, and the valve only opens when these neurons are damaged or temporarily inhibited.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't Zhu Yan's own Tianyan opened because of excessive fever and brain damage caused by external blows? And the suspended death breathing mentioned by this cultivation method is not exactly the temporary inhibition of brain neurons due to the lack of oxygen in the brain?

Moreover, the appearance of human abilities in life is often related to brain damage or feigned death, and these abilities are often unique to cultivators. Therefore, it is very likely that this translation of the clay tablet cultivation method is correct, and once it is proved to be correct, it will not only have a great impact on the existing cultivation system, but will also have an extremely far-reaching impact on the process of human civilization.

As a result, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan, who were so excited, decided almost without thinking about it that they would immediately devote themselves to the revision and improvement of this exercise, and to promote it as soon as possible.
