In the closed base of the Tidi Wangsa Mountain Range, Mo Xiantong, Ye Yaozi and others that Qi Yiming originally brought were basically on the periphery, and the real core underground building complex, only Qi Yiming himself had the permission to enter.

Qi Yiming was happy and excited after receiving the information about the upgrade of the base, but after taking stock for a long time and making many thoughts, when he came to the underground barracks in the base, Qi Yiming was shrouded in worry again.

His concern came from a base announcement just now: "Open the Lv2 base, reward the hero unit *1, randomly selected - you have obtained the 'Touch of the Heart' Yuri." ”

Anyone who has played Red Alert basically doesn't know what kind of character Yuri is in. Fanatical and insidious, there may be endless intrigues and tricks in the bald skull. He is like a two-five boy with a backbone in the back of his head, he doesn't know what Lu Dao's loyalty is, even if he is subordinate to the Soviet army, he constantly makes trouble. first lurked under Prime Minister Romanov, acting as if he was loyal, and made great contributions to the Soviet invasion of the Allied forces. Without his mind control, the Soviets would not have been able to invade the United States so easily. But then he took control of the Romanovs, and then tried to rule the entire world with the power of the Soviet Union.

In Yuri's revenge, the villain repeatedly used black technology to test the allies, and almost succeeded. It's nice to have a top-of-the-line superweapon technology, but if this benefit is still a potential danger, Qi Yiming is secretly determined to execute Yuri as soon as he finds a problem.

"Will Yuri, the hero unit, be as loyal to me as any other normal unit?" Qi Yiming still asked hesitantly.

The base master system immediately displays a line of text: "All base production units will be subject to the base master and will not be able to do any direct or indirect damage to the master controller." ”

Qi Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "That's good, now let's meet this 'hero'." He bites the word hero very hard, and his feelings are still a little complicated.

Out of the base's underground barracks came a bald man with a small head. On the slowly descending ladder, Qi Yiming could see the person's appearance clearly. Perhaps because of his Asian ethnicity, Yuri, the hero, retains his iconic and rigid old-fashioned Soviet military uniform and his large bald head that can be used as a light bulb, but his facial features are less Caucasian, more of a white and Asian-American mixed-race. He has brown pupils, similar to many Chinese, and although his face has some features of high cheekbones and high eyebrow bones, he still has the appearance of an Asian. Even his handful of goatee was no longer a dull yellow, but a slightly brownish black.

Seeing Qi Yiming coming with a few Red Alert soldiers, Yuri bowed slightly and said in a very low and hoarse tone, "It's my supreme honor to meet you, Commander. ”

Although Qi Yiming felt a little uncomfortable, he still pretended to be friendly and said, "Hello, Yuri." ”

Yuri raised his head and showed a rather mysterious smile, Qi Yiming guessed that this guy would not be smiling properly, and all his expressions looked sinister.

"The thoughts of the world are my thoughts, and my thoughts are your thoughts—your thoughts will rule the world, my master." Yuri was very respectful, but Qi Yiming could still find the kind of divine light that belonged to a madman from his eyes that seemed to be dull.

If it weren't for the belief that the base had control over such a dangerous character, it would be impossible for Qi Yiming to be in the same room with such a guy.

Qi Yiming thought of his specialty and the newly unlocked "Mind Control Technique Lv1" and asked, "Yuri, tell me, what is our Mind Control Technique Lv 1 all about?" ”

Yuri looked very confident and excited about what he did, and said, "The mind control technique is one of the most powerful of the super technologies in the Red Police base. It's actually divided into three phases, and we're in the first phase now. By building the Psychic Beacon Tower, we can influence the human mind within a radius of a hundred kilometers. It's just that the number of Psychic Beacon Towers to build at this stage is limited, and we can build Psychic Beacon Towers that affect up to 16 million square kilometers of land. ”

Qi Yiming was keenly aware of one of the words Yuri used, and said, "Influence, not control?" If it is to influence other people's thinking, then to what extent. ”

"My master, please don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. The Mind Control Technique is divided into three phases, and the first stage not only has a limited range of control and quantity of Mind Beacon Towers built, but also has a limited depth of influence. Let me first explain the principle of mind control techniques, the human brain is a Pandora's box full of electrical charge signals that we are just beginning to recognize. Most of the brains are 'receivers', but some of the more developed ones are able to freely choose to send and receive, and this is my psychic beacon. And through the reverse study of my brain, we were able to obtain the technology of creating the Psychic Beacon Tower. And the thing that is similar to the brain waves I emit by special means is called Mega brain waves, which can sweep over a very large area like a tidal wave and affect the radiation crowd.

It's just a pity that the Mega brainwave will inevitably be weakened in a wide range of transmission, so it can't directly control a person's mind and actions like I do now. But when our technique matures, well, I mean when the mind control technology rises to Lv3, then each Mind Beacon Tower is equivalent to a super strengthened me, which can arbitrarily change the thoughts and actions of the people who are radiated.

Now our weakest version of the Mega brainwave, although it cannot be controlled, is also very useful, and it is a relatively mild means - it will implant a relatively simple belief in people's subconscious in a special form, and people will naturally not be aware of it, and they will follow the implanted consciousness as a matter of course. Such a consciousness can be 'Yuri is a good person', 'love Comrade Qi Yiming', 'trust in the state apparatus', etc., which are mainly more subjective consciousness. However, things that violate objective common sense, such as implanting 'ice cubes are hot', '**** is painful', etc., cannot be done. ”

Qi Yiming quickly accepted Yuri's explanation, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he asked again: "I noticed that the few words you use are relatively shallow in subjective judgment, or not so intense. Loving and trusting something, it doesn't feel so safe. Why wouldn't it be 'allegiance', 'complete play of obedience' and the like? ”

Yuri smirked and explained, "Under the influence of Lv1's Mega brainwave, people can identify with or accept certain metaphysical or conscious concepts, but the so-called allegiance and obedience are beyond the scope of feasibility. I have to say, my master, you are a wise and sensitive master of mind. There is a difference in this, and if the word allegiance is embodied in mind control, it will be a very extreme thing, and perhaps by the standards of a normal person, total allegiance to an object will be a stifling of human nature. Even if you do a lot of things that are harmful to you or you don't like them, it will not affect the choices of the affected individual.

But a low level of identity and trust is a different story, and the affected individual will have enough affection for the target and will subconsciously make their own identification with the other person's actions. But in the face of serious conflicts, rational trade-offs are still made.

Hehe, let me make an analogy. My master, join you in announcing to the people through the Psychic Beacon Tower that they recognize you as their leader, and the people under Lv1 will be happy to accept your rule, the people under Lv2 will be willing to do most of what you have to do, and the people under Lv3 will accept all your assignments. For example, if you ask someone to commit suicide, only someone under the influence of Lv3 will not hesitate to do so. If you ask a man to give half of his fortune as a tax, people at Lv3 and Lv2 will be willing; And if you ask one person to vote for you, hehe, then all of them will do it......"

Qi Yiming's eyes lit up and said, "You mean that I can give an idea or an entity, and then all the people will agree with it and support him, right?" ”

Yuri smiled even more: "That's right, this is the role of mind control Lv1, everyone under your rule will be happy to be ruled by you, and agree with all your measures that do no superficial harm to them." Or, as you think now, if you go to run for something, all the votes will be cast for you. ”

Qi Yiming's face was cold: "Are you reading my heart?" ”

Yuri shook his head and said, "No, my master, I don't have the ability to read minds, and even if I do, I can't use it on you, because it's forbidden, and I'm not allowed to do anything against you." ”

Qi Yiming nodded, and his heart was also relieved.

Then he asked, "If a person leaves the radiation rhetorical question of the Psychic Beacon Tower, will he continue to have this sense of identity?" ”

Yuri replied, "It depends on the time of impact. If a person lives under the Psychic Beacon Tower for five to ten years, the consciousness you instill will slowly settle in the subconscious, even if he later leaves the radiation range. And if what you indoctrinate is what he identifies with, the process will only go faster. On the contrary, if the person is originally resistant or even disgusted, the time for consciousness to stabilize will be extended to a longer time. ”

Yuri then added: "Actually, the primary mind control is very shallow, and mind control is not only achieved by relying on Mega brain waves. Even without my ability, we can accomplish this kind of thing through the continuous rendering and deepening of impressions by news and public opinion, and through the strengthening of some symbolic memory. The former method of influencing Mega brainwaves, which I call hard brainwashing, has a fast effect but is not very stable; The latter is what I call soft brainwashing, which is slow to work but once formed, it is easier to follow for a long time. ”

Qi Yiming sighed, and suddenly asked, "So what if we combine these two ways together?" ”

Two seemingly completely different men looked at each other and smiled at this moment.
