Chapter 42: The Time Scale
"Memory repulsion theory?" It seems that for this term, Qian Yan has never heard of it before.
I saw Aunt Bai nodding and said, "Yes, Yan'er, let me ask you, what is the scale of existence in our world?" That is, with what is used to record? ”
Qian Yan thought for a moment and replied, "Time." ”
"Yes, what about our lives?"
"It's still time." Qian Yan replied.
After hearing this, Aunt Bai nodded again and said: "Yes, whether it is the world, history, or life, or even everything, it is time to prove its existence, even if it is a plant, a plastic bag will disappear with time, and only time can prove that all this once existed." ”
"But what does that mean?" Qian Yan was still puzzled.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai explained: "This is enough to show the importance of time, time is the scale of all things, and it is naturally the scale of memory, when we are awake, our brains are moving all the time, producing memories, even if the Shunzi in the dream is tortured a little sluggish, even numb, but he still produces memories, that is, the fragments in the cave shown by the brainwave imager, can you understand this?" ”
Qian Yan nodded.
Aunt Bai continued: "Our brains can only produce one kind of memory at the same time, that is, the memories we have personally experienced, and the memories we have from childhood to adulthood are all a complete line, and it is in order. ”
"Hmm." Qian Yan agreed with Aunt Bai's statement.
"But when you impose another memory on yourself that doesn't belong to you, our original memory will reject the new memory in order to protect its integrity and rationality." Aunt Bai said.
"Why is that?" Qian Yan didn't understand it again when she heard this.
I saw Aunt Bai patiently explain: "Because the transmitted memories have not been experienced by the recipient, that is to say, they have not been scaled with a specific time, and their own memories have not been processed by the brain. ”
"But in his dream, Quan Zhendong was able to transmit his martial arts memories to Gou Shun." Qian Yan objected.
Aunt Bai listened, shook her head, and said: "In the dream, when they used the machine to transmit, Gou Shun was sitting there at that time, and Gou Shun's brain spent a certain amount of time processing during the transmission, which is equivalent to a learning process, but the memory transmitted back by time and space has to be directly inserted into the original memory of Shunzi out of thin air, and the nature of the two is completely different. ”
Qian Yan nodded with understanding and said, "Aunt Bai, I seem to understand, but since the original memories are repulsive, why do those memories that have been teleported back appear in dreams?" ”
"Yan'er, let me ask you a question."
"Aunt Bai, you say."
"Do you remember what you dreamed about last night?"
Qian Yan shook her head.
"What about the day before yesterday?"
Qian Yan shook her head again.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, we will not produce memories when we sleep, although we will dream, but soon forget after waking up, because it is only some traces in the subconscious, not memories, and the brain at this time is basically in a dormant state." ”
"However, there are some dreams that I still remember." Qian Yan said again.
"Those are just special cases, that's because those dreams are too special, or too scary, or too excited, under this strong stimulation, the dormant brain in the dream will be temporarily activated, so you can remember some and produce some memories, but the general situation is that when you sleep, the brain is basically dormant and does not produce memories." Aunt Bai explained.
"And then?" Qian Yan asked.
"Then, when sleeping, the original memory time scale will be in a kind of idle period, and at this time, the transmitted memory will take advantage of the void to activate the dormant brain, so as to complete the memory of another time scale in sleep." Aunt Bai replied.
"But it's amazing." Qian Yan said with emotion.
Aunt Bai listened, nodded and said: "Although it is unbelievable, it is completely reasonable, because Gou Shun is experiencing another scale of memory in his sleep, not dreaming, so he can clearly remember those dreams after waking up, and every detail in the dream, no, it is every memory fragment, and the details of these fragments, if it is a dream, he will forget it when he wakes up." ”
"But Quan Zhendong transmitted his martial arts to Gou Shun in the last fragment of the dream, why did Gou Shun have martial arts before he dreamed of it?"
I saw Aunt Bai think about it and said: "If I'm not mistaken, Junzi said that in the dream, Quan Zhendong also passed on muscle memory to him, this kind of muscle memory does not need to be processed by the brain, just like when you are riding a bicycle, suddenly a small flying insect flies towards your eyes, you will immediately close your eyes, this action, in fact, did not go through the brain thinking, because when you close your eyes after thinking through the brain, the insect has already flown into your eyes, this is muscle memory." ”
Seeing that Qianyan was a little confused, Aunt Bai explained again: "When Junzi started to stop Zhao Chengxiang, in fact, the memory had been transmitted, and the muscle memory had already reached Junzi's body, so she had special abilities, but she didn't know the specific martial arts routines, and the memories of the fragments of the incident were waiting for him to fall asleep." ”
After hearing this, Qian Yan got up from the chair and began to pace around the room, although she asked a lot of questions, and Aunt Bai also explained a lot, but she felt like a mess in her head now, with countless question marks floating.
Qian Yan brushed her thoughts and asked again: "Aunt Bai, there is another question, we have also mentioned it before, that is, why did Gou Shun know to stop Zhao Chengxiang when he had not dreamed that Xia Rushi would die?" And what was that voice in his head? ”
"It may come from a strong consciousness, this consciousness is accompanied by memory fragments, Gou Shun said that Quan Zhendong asked him to change the fate of Xia Rushi and An Ran in the dream, and Gou Shun in the dream should also have this desire, so there is a strong consciousness, we take Gou Shun's memory when he is awake as a part, and then the memory when he is asleep as a part, assuming that there is an invisible boundary in the middle, then it may be because this consciousness is too strong, so it breaks through this boundary, so as to jump into Junzi's mind, which affects his behavior, is similar to our sixth sense, but his feeling is much stronger, I can only explain it this way. ”
Qian Yan listened, nodded, and then sighed and said: "Hey, I originally thought that after Gou Shun finished dreaming about all the fragments, the truth would be revealed, but I didn't expect it to bring more questions now, Aunt Bai, now my mind is full of questions, but I don't know how to express it." ”
I saw that Aunt Bai also sighed and said: "Yes, it may be that we have received too much information today, or it may be because our current understanding is too limited, in short, this matter seems to be complicated, and it needs to be considered in the long run, and it is useless to rush for a while." ”
"Aunt Bai, do you think Gou Shun will continue to have that kind of dream?" Don't ask.
Aunt Bai shook her head and said, "Judging from the display of the brainwave imager and our observations, those dream fragments should be finished, I think it shouldn't be, whether it will be or not, we still need to try again tomorrow." ”
After hearing this, Qian Yan nodded, and said, "Okay, it's not too early today, I'll send Gou Shun back to rest first." ”
After Qian Yan sent Gou Shun back to the house, she found that Gou Shun was looking at her.
"Gou Shun, what do you see me doing?" Qian Yan asked a little puzzled.
"The dream is over, there will be no more fragments." Gou Shun said expressionlessly.
"Maybe."
"No, maybe, it should be, I can feel it." Gou Shun raised his voice slightly.
"Oh." In fact, Qian Yan also agreed with this statement.
"Can you let me go?" Gou Shun asked.
"But there are still many things that are not clear, such as who is Quan Zhendong? Who is his master? Why send your memories back? Don't you want to figure this out? ”
"That's your business, I don't care and I don't want to figure it out, I just want to get out now." Gou Shun's tone was a little indifferent.
"What are you going out for?"
"You know."
"To change the fate of Xia Rushi and An Ran?" Qian Yan asked.
Gou Shun nodded.
"Gou Shun, I'm afraid this won't work, before you figure out what happened, I'm afraid the research center won't let you go, not to mention that you have such a high level of martial arts now, if something happens outside, no one can bear the consequences." Qian Yan said sincerely.
After hearing this, Gou Shun's expression was obviously a little impatient, only to see him frowning, and said a little unhappily: "Aunt Bai also said just now, with the current level of technology, some things are difficult to figure out, and when you figure it out, I'm afraid Xia Rushi has already been killed by Zhao Chengxiang." ”
Seeing that Qian Yan didn't speak, Gou Shun continued: "And An Ran, if it is really like what Aunt Bai said, everything in the parallel world is the same, and we have not had a substantial impact on An Ran now, then she will be admitted to the Department of Ecology of Beijing University, and she will go to Qingping Mountain to investigate, and she will pick that flower, and she will fall off the cliff, if it were not for me, she would be eaten by a tiger." ”
Obviously, when it came to Enron, Gou Shun's expression became even more excited, and in addition to anxiety, there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction with waiting for the research center.
After hearing this, Qian Yan didn't know how to answer for a while.
Gou Shun, and continued: "Qianyan, we have been in contact for a long time, almost three months, am I the kind of person who will cause trouble casually?" Am I at risk? ”
"When I first came in, maybe not, but now you, I don't know, think about it, you didn't know what was going on at the beginning, you would go to hold Xia Rushi hostage, now that you know so much, and your personality has changed so much, it is more likely that something uncontrollable will happen." Qian Yan expressed her opinion.
"No, after knowing this, I will definitely think about it before acting, Qianyan, you must believe me." The more Gou Shun spoke, the more anxious he became.
"I believe you're useless, it doesn't matter if I let you go or not, there will be a decision from above."
"Do you want to watch Xia Rushi and An Ran die?" Gou Shun almost shouted this sentence.
Seeing this, Qian Yan hurriedly comforted: "Gou Shun, don't be excited, we will find a way to help Xia Rushi and An Ran." ”
"Figured out? You can't contact Xia Rushi alone, what can you do, forget it, you can't do it. Apparently Gou Shun didn't believe them.
Qian Yan didn't want to stimulate Gou Shun anymore, he hoped that Gou Shun could calm down, so he sighed and said, "Gou Shun, I'm tired, I want to go back to rest." ”
Qian Yan said, ignored Gou Shun, turned around and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, Gou Shun grabbed her arm.
Qian Yan turned her head, stared at Gou Shun's eyes, and seemed to be a little haggard and said, "Gou Shun, what are you going to do?" ”
The two looked at each other for ten seconds, and Gou Shun put down Qian Yan's arm.
