Xiang Shan looked at the thing that looked like a USB flash drive, but with "MagicRealismCarnival" engraved on the side, reached out and took it, and looked at it over and over again.

He thought it was suspicious.

"I don't seem to have smoked an old hat like mine...... Or have you ever smoked this kind of high-end gadget? He laughed at himself, "What is this?" ”

"That's it...... A collection of some kind of surreal jokes, very postmodern spam. The taste is relatively light. ”

- Gan, it sounds more like tobacco......

Xiang Shan said: "Now the knights like this thing?" ”

He asked the single killer king in the private chat channel: [What would you do if you saw Cui Ji and they were snorting spam messages? 】

Jadel was startled, immediately sat up straight, ripped the USB flash drive from his data interface, and said righteously: [Two little rabbits, Saussure Divine Domain has not been completely constructed, and they are embarrassed to brush up on spam information? Of course, I thought about it when I was off the Internet! 】

Xiang Shan's face became even more weird.

What kind of e-tobacco is this?

And is your style really convincing?

Xiang Shan always thought this thing was weird. He took the junk message in his hand and said, "Everybody uses this thing?" ”

"Huh? No, of course not. People who lack the language realm cannot resist the massive amount of memories that pour into the brain, and it is very easy to get lost in it. Bai Man said: "If the internal strength is low, there is no way to use it." However, short-term relaxation should be possible. ”

"Ah, this, if it's the first time you brush it, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

Xiang Shan had no choice but to ask.

It doesn't sound very safe. He didn't really want to brush this. However, since this thing exists, there must be people who want to use their brains in it. He had to know what it was.

"Huh?"

"I used to ...... Basically, I don't touch anything that is at risk of addiction......" Xiang Yamate swiped twice in the air.

He refused all tobacco products, and alcohol was limited to light tasting.

Bai Man's posture was almost embarrassed: "Ah, this...... I'm sorry, I'm ...... This should be something that the Dyson principle does not prohibit. It's as if no one thinks 'sugar addiction' is a very serious thing. Everyone consumes a certain amount of sugar every day, and excess sugar is also harmful. But there are basically no prohibitions...... That ......"

It's like "accidentally handing a cigar to a non-smoking boss and explaining that it's a popular social etiquette."

Xiang Shan looked at the USB flash drive-like object in his hand and inserted it into his data port. He didn't run it right away, but checked the properties.

Belch......

One...... How so? A lot of short videos, text, and images are aggregated into a single file in a number of very complex formats. This is a new format that was born to facilitate direct reading by the brain.

If you convert it to ancient formats like MP4, MP3, AVI, JPG, etc., it should be hundreds of terabytes in size.

Xiang Shan said: "Is there any trick to brushing this?" ”

"Open up the senses and buffers, suppress the activity of the hippocampus, and do not use the superficial mind to retrieve the content that is perceived." Bai Man said: "Ah, I mean, you don't have to be like this for the sake of etiquette......"

Xiang Shan quickly understood what this thing was.

This thing is just like his name, "spam". Countless pieces of information, which have no meaning and are merely meant to stimulate the human senses, have been preserved in this complex form.

The human memory mechanism is divided into several layers. In order for an external stimulus to enter the human mind, it must first pass through the sensory organs—the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and skin. These sensory organs form a kind of "sensory cache". It's like "the voice I just heard is still echoing in my ears." These "sensory caches" are mixed up and go into the brain's "buffers". It's a physiological structure that actually exists.

Sensory caches are processed into short-term memory within the buffer. These short-term memories fade into oblivion.

After deep processing of the brain, including the hippocampus, short-term memory becomes long-term memory. Long-term memory is often lifelong in life. It does get forgotten, but it's also easy to recall. 168

Ah, but long-term memory can also be modified by the brain. When a person recalls an incident from the past years later, his memory tends to be skewed as well.

But that's another level.

In addition, although short-term memory fades easily, the human brain can also delay this fading without converting it into long-term memory – a process known as "rehearsal". If there is a piece of information in short-term memory that will come in handy in the near future, the brain will keep rehearsing the situation in which that information will come in handy until it actually comes in handy.

The most classic example is "remembering the phone number". If someone gives you a phone number, you need to dial it quickly, or record it, and your brain will rehearse it until the "relevant memory" of the phone number completes the task. After that, the short-term memory of the phone number fades quickly.

The brain is also doing everything possible to prevent an overload of information from pouring into memory, causing stress on information processing.

"Spamming" is to block the brain's retrieval of short-term memory through a special technique to avoid the conversion of massive junk information into long-term memory.

Many times, when a person is exposed to outside information, they don't need to convert it into long-term memories in order to have fun. For example, one does not need to memorize the melody and lyrics of a song to appreciate the beauty of the music. After he saw the funny video, he didn't need to memorize the video to death before he could appreciate the joke.

"Pleasure" arises, before long-term memory arises.

The junk information "used" by these knights is all capable of directly stimulating the human senses.

This spam can be a direct experience. And the chivalrous man who has achieved internal success can almost completely block the process of these garbage information flowing into long-term memory. That's why they can enjoy this kind of thing.

To do this, it is necessary to have Saussure's divine domain to complete the reconstruction of "sensory information" and "language processing" - and this step requires at least the internal skills of the compilation or assembly realm.

"I probably understand the reason...... Xiang Shan was a little weird: "This thing can be stored in your own prosthetic body, right?" The volume is not too big, so why do you have to make it like this...... What does a long USB flash drive look like? ”

Is it just for Cos e-cigarettes?

Bai Man was shocked: "This ...... Normal people don't keep this thing in their bodies, do they? It's too easy to indulge. Even if it's a chivalrous person, after swiping it thousands of times, it will spam information into the brain. In that case, the internal strength will be affected. ”

Information addiction is a very serious "addiction to the heart".

Humans feel "uneasy" in an unfamiliar environment. Because he didn't know if there was anything in the unfamiliar environment that threatened his life. Because of this, instinct will push him to explore his surroundings, gain more knowledge, eliminate the "unknown", and gain "peace of mind".

Not only humans, but many higher animals have this instinct. Many animals actively explore their surroundings.

For people, "the whole world" can be regarded as a "strange external environment". Since the time of ignorance, human beings have been using various ways to eliminate the "unknown" and gain "peace of mind".

Some people will explore the outside world, while others will make up stories to comfort themselves.

The human spirit is "thirsty for information". However, the instinct of the human flesh has not yet learned to "sift through information". So, whether the message makes sense or not, it creates a sense of "I've learned" and "I know more" – and that's the worst form of addiction.

It's certainly not too hard to resist this temptation. However, if this thing were placed in a memory directly connected to human consciousness, it would be possible for every human consciousness to trigger it......

Few are able to defend against it.

Memories are stored in the brain. This process causes subtle changes to the brain. And the internal power itself also involves the self-adjustment of the brain. A large amount of junk information will hinder internal power at the physiological level.

Bai Man remembered that in the early days, there were chivalrous people who made this kind of mistake and suffered setbacks because they were addicted to spam. Even because their minds are full of meaningless memories, it is more difficult for those chivalrous people to improve their internal skills than ordinary people.

However, it must also be admitted that this illusion of "eliminating the unknown" can greatly alleviate anxiety without damaging the ability to think logically.

While chemicals like methamphetamine are more effective at "boosting morale," they're just too nerve-wracking.

Therefore, many knights will choose "spam" to relieve pre-war anxiety.

"Wow, that's interesting." Xiang Shan casually swept it, then pulled it out and kicked it into the tool grid on his waist - according to his understanding, this thing was equivalent to a cigarette handed to you. According to etiquette, it is best to have it on your ears or in your pocket. He glanced at Bai Man and said, "Brother Bai Man, you came to me not just to hand over this cigarette...... I mean this spam, right? Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

"Worthy of ...... I mean, you can see it. ”

Bai Man beckoned to the mountain. The two walked out into the depths of the cave. In the depths of the cavern, there is a prosthetic body that is half buried in the ground. The prosthesis is two meters above the surface and has no head. Several drones are doing the final searches.

Bai Man said: "Please also ask the unknown hero to accept this prosthetic body." Your martial arts should be higher than mine. This prosthetic body equipped with Tao Daxia's stellar mimic, in your hands, may be able to play a greater role. ”
