Chapter 62: Psychic Index
At the end of the underground square, there is a huge monitoring room, where all the leading teachers of all the high schools in Hulin District are concentrated, and the commotion of the students can be seen clearly.
"This year, the quality of our graduates in Hulin District is quite good, and their fighting spirit is very high!"
The surveillance camera followed Ning Xueshi and Yan Feirou to the Jiufang formation, which happened to make the conflict between Meng Chao and Jin Zhanpeng clear.
Many of the city's key top students have just suffered a secret loss here in Jianshe Middle School, which makes the leading teachers feel uncomfortable.
Now seeing the students of Jianzhong High School returning home in front of the district key, the leading teachers of the city key can't help but smile.
"What's this student's name, Meng Chao? Keep an eye on it later. "They whispered, no, they talked loudly.
The leading teacher of Jianshe Middle School, whose face was so black that ink was dripping, glared in the direction of Yan Demon.
Yan Mo's face was expressionless, but he covered his mouth with his palm, and the corners of his mouth turned up very covertly.
"When the time comes, the brain cell activator should have had an effect, and after three minutes, the retest begins."
The examiner walked over to the console.
"All candidates, please take your seat, pay attention to your feet, your respective school name and student number, please choose one of the three sitting postures, sit in place, relax your breathing, and enter a state of deep meditation."
A cold mechanical sound sounded above the students' heads, "After one minute, candidates who are still standing, walking or making sounds will be considered as violating the discipline of the examination room, and will be warned for the first time and expelled directly from the examination room for the second time!" ”
For a time, thousands of candidates in the huge underground square were silent.
Meng Chao sat down cross-legged, chose the "dead wood stake", one of the "nine major piles", and gradually entered a meditative state with even breathing.
He imagined himself as a stump left behind by felling, suffering from the sun and rain, but in the excruciating pain, bursting with new life, a cluster of small shoots grew from the wound.
The laughter of a moment ago was forgotten, and the mottled nightmare resurfaced.
But this time, there was no confusion and fear in his heart, only firm belief and indomitable courage.
Overhead, the sound of precision machinery in motion.
Rows of metal shelves slowly fall.
A helmet is also attached to the shelf with a hose and delivered to the top of each candidate's head.
Meng Chao grabbed the helmet in his hand, feeling soft and warm to the touch, much like a crystal clear gel, engraved with mysterious and complex runes on the outside, and the spiritual energy slowly flowed between the lines, bringing a mysterious and unpredictable sense of the future.
The hollow interior is covered with dense protrusions, which look like echinoderms and living metal, a little numb.
"This is SuperBrain?"
Meng Chao looked at it carefully.
Integrating nanochips, monster biochemical brains and quantum algorithms, the latest model of Superbrain has unprecedented computing power.
What's more, it can seamlessly connect with the human brain through the bionic nerve and directly input information into the human brain.
Genetic martial arts, psionic technology, and super brain technology are the three pillars of Dragon City's battle in the Otherworld.
Meng Chao put the superbrain on his head.
The gel-like active casing gently adjusts to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
The echinoderm-like dense protrusions gently fit the acupuncture points of the head and cervical vertebrae, and the bioelectric current is transmitted crispy and numb, perfectly connecting the human brain nerves and the superbrain crystal clusters.
Meng Chao's eyes were obscured by the superbrain, but the optic nerve received direct information input from the superbrain.
A fluffy ball of light appeared in front of him, and a line of small words appeared in the ball of light: "In the 55th year of the new era, the second round of the entrance test for first-class colleges and universities in Longcheng is about to start in one minute." ”
Not only the optic nerve, but also the olfactory, auditory, and tactile nerves.
Meng Chao was obviously sitting cross-legged, but he gradually felt that he was standing.
There were bursts of gunpowder smoke and bloody smell in his nose, and he heard the gust of wind in his ears, and the ghost cried wolf.
It was as if he had come from the safety and comfort of an underground plaza to a new world, into hell.
……
In the monitoring room, the leading teachers of various schools are watching the examiner implant scenes into the superbrain host.
The scenes were extremely terrifying, and they were amazed.
"How can the difficulty of the psychic test be increased so much this year, although it is a virtual test, but through the implantation of completely realistic information by the superbrain, the fear and pain felt by the children are 100%, how can this be endured?"
"No, not 100%, but 120%, the impact that candidates will endure in the virtual world this year will be more terrifying than reality!"
“120%? This is the Red Dragon Army's criteria for selecting elite special forces, and this year's college entrance examination is too exaggerated, right? ”
"It's not an exaggeration, you all know the recent discovery of the Red Dragon Army's 'Mist Investigation Brigade', right? The war is really about to escalate, and if these children can't even pass the test of the virtual world, there is no need to send them to the depths of the fog to feed the monsters. ”
When it came to the discovery in the depths of the fog, all the leading teachers were silent.
I could only watch the examiner throw hideous monsters into the virtual world.
Soon, the scene was implanted.
The psychic test begins.
Mist, ruins, blood moons, monsters are rampant!
The candidates' eyes changed abruptly, and they all found themselves from the underground square to a strange battlefield.
The surrounding classmates, the leading teacher, and everything familiar have all disappeared.
Alone and alone, they trampled on the rotten corpses, exploring in fear between the severed limbs and the ruins.
"Whoa!"
The Blood Moon drenched the mist into a steaming blood mist, and monsters appeared with a sinister smile in the blood mist.
The psychic test does not focus on combat skills, but only on mental endurance.
Therefore, the Education Bureau did not choose super beasts with powerful attacks but majestic or even gorgeous appearances, but those nightmare creatures that seem to be a mixture of reptiles, arthropods, echinoderms and deep-sea fish, making people unable to eat for three days at a glance.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"Oh my god!"
In the face of a deformed and twisted frog that looks like a skinned frog, and a monster that will spew out its internal organs at any time, many candidates from ordinary middle schools who are not usually qualified to receive virtual training are frightened at the first time.
The better ones turned around and ran, and the worse ones stood in place shivering, only to be pounced on by the deformed monster, and watched as half of their bodies fell into the monster's bloody mouth.
The monster chewed and smiled at them with cloudy eyes.
These candidates couldn't hold back any longer, rolled their eyes, and fainted to the ground.
"Xiaohe Middle School, 5501342 candidate Ren Fei, has a spiritual index of less than 40%...... If it is lower than 30%, it is warned, and the candidate's mental index is still declining, and it has been below the warning line for more than 60 seconds, and it is judged that the mental test has failed, and he is forced to withdraw from the virtual examination room. ”
The mental state of each candidate is displayed on the large screen, and various values are constantly beating, as long as they are higher or lower than the warning line, the values are immediately red, and a special alarm is issued.
In the examination room, a candidate foamed at the mouth and had convulsions.
He was immediately forced to withdraw from the virtual world, and the superbrain instead transmitted a relatively gentle bioelectric current to his cranial nerves, massaging the cerebral cortex to ensure mental stability.
Several white coats rushed over and carried the candidate, who was on the verge of mental breakdown, out of the examination room for treatment.
The leading teacher of Xiaohe Middle School sighed, but he was helpless.
Fifty years ago, when humans unlocked their genes and unleashed the extreme potential of their brains, scientists and transcendents have discovered that otherworldly psionic energy has a hundredfold greater impact on the human spiritual world than on Earth.
Introducing overloaded psionic energy into the body and impacting brain cells can release explosive power and extraordinary powers, but it will also synthesize a substance called "superenkephalin" in large quantities.
There are two enkephalins in the human brain, namely methionine enkephalin and leucine enkephalin, which are morphine-like neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, which can raise the pain threshold, maintain mental stability, and even correlate with emotional areas of the human brain.
So far, scientists have not fully understood its structure and mechanism of action, only that it can control psionic energy, form bioelectricity, stimulate the deepest layers of human cells, and increase the energy supply efficiency of mitochondria by a hundredfold.
The large secretion of ultraenkephalin is the key to human beings moving from "mortal" to "superhuman".
But everything is too much, just like drinking too much water will cause "water poisoning", if the human brain secretes excessive amounts of superenkephalins for a long time, it is also possible to "superenphalins poisoning".
In this case, excessive hyperenkephalins will in turn erode the human brain, pollute the human spirit, distort the human will, and make human beings deformed, degenerate, alienated, and become crazy monsters step by step.
After decades of exploration, the Transcendental Tower threw out the concept of "Mind Index", emphasizing that human beings must control "superenphalins" and maintain their sanity at all times, whether they are cultivating or fighting.
The benchmark for the Psychic Index is 100%, which represents the normal secretion of hyperenkephalins.
When strongly stimulated by the outside world and seeing extremely terrifying, mysterious, weird, and unknown things, the human brain's self-defense mechanism will begin to secrete a large amount of hyperenkephalins.
At this time, the psychic index will fluctuate between 90% and 110%.
If the mental index is less than 1, humans will have negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, etc.
With a psychic index greater than 1, humans will become brave, fearless and even bloodthirsty.
Whether it is fear or bravery, as long as it is not excessive, it is necessary and beneficial.
Needless to say, even if you are afraid, you can help people be vigilant, instantly assess the comparison of enemy and enemy strength, and decisively choose to evacuate when it is time to evacuate.
Many people often have a "blank brain" when they are extremely afraid, but in fact, it is the body that automatically transfers all the energy from the brain to the muscles, and uses instinct to escape.
But the terrifying creatures and mysterious phenomena of the other world have greatly exceeded the limits of human brain cognition.
In order to tap their potential, transcendent people often secrete too much superenkephalins.
It is easy for the Mind Index to break through the "safe zone" of 80% to 120%, which is too high or too low.
When the mental index is below 80%, the negative effects of fear will gradually overwhelm the positive effects, and the superenkephalin will change from a good medicine that activates the potential to a poison that erodes the brain, making humans be engulfed by unknown fears, such as falling into a quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.
The more fearful you are, the more you secrete hyperenkephalins, fall into hyperenkephalin poisoning, and then the more you fear a vicious circle.
When the psychic index drops below 30%, it is almost impossible to break free on its own, and an excess of superenphalins will attract a psionic frenzy and completely swallow up the human spiritual world.
When the psychic index drops to 0, there are only two results, crazy, or brain dead.
