526, behind the terrible chip

Although Huang Liang still didn't quite understand why he didn't use the ancient method of acupuncture instead of more advanced equipment, he didn't ask anything more and just began to give Dickinson needles as instructed by the professor.

More than sixty silver needles were stuck in Dickinson's back, down his spine, like the mane of a wild boar. Dickinson lay there motionless with his eyes closed, not knowing whether to enjoy or endure the discomfort.

Situ Yuli brought a number of delicate small clips to clamp the tail of the silver needle, and the thin metal wire on the clip connected to an instrument. Then, she attached sensors to Dickinson's head, similar to the kind of EEGs that are commonly used in hospitals. The sensor is connected to another instrument.

When the power was on, the two instruments buzzed quietly, but it was noticeable in the quiet of the laboratory underneath. Many patterns with different color blocks and curves appeared on the black screen, and Huang Liang judged that one of them should be a brain wave map, and the others could not be understood.

Then it was time for Huang Liang to use a silver needle to prick the spare connector on the chip in Dickinson's neck. It was a test of his hands and his judgment as a doctor.

He had already read the enlarged chip structure diagram that Mei Yiqiu had given him, and had firmly memorized the location of the interface in his mind. Fortunately, he can self-hypnotize, relying on the subconscious to reinforce this memory.

He touched Dickinson's neck, feeling the lump on the back of his neck to determine the exact location and actual size of the chip. By comparing it with the chip map that had been strengthened in his subconscious, he saw the chip as if he were looking through it.

This is an essential skill for a surgeon. A good surgeon, all the musculature, blood vessels, nerves and bones of the human body are in his brain, even if each patient is different in height, short, fat and thin, he can see everything as if wearing a fluoroscopy, and cut the scalpel exactly where he wants to cut.

But to be on the safe side, he conducted a small-scale realistic simulation of his dreams. In the past, when he was still Zhao Pengcheng, he often simulated surgery in his brain. This is still the method taught to him by his mentor when he was in school, when analyzing the medical record before surgery, he made a complete simulation in his mind to simulate the worst possible situation, which can reduce the probability of surgical failure, and once he encounters an emergency, he can also deal with it calmly.

Later, he developed the ability to dream lucidly, and began to simulate in dreams. This effect is much better than relying on pure imagination in the brain.

Today's simulation, however, gave him a wonderful experience that he had never experienced before.

He hypnotized himself, reproduced a scene in his dream that was exactly the same as what he saw, and then administered a needle prick. Since there is a diagram of the chip structure in the dream, and the diagram is superimposed on the hard block on the back of Dickinson's neck, you can clearly see the interfaces.

He pricked the needle in. It stands to reason that he was only dreaming at this time, but when he withdrew from the dream, he found that the silver needle in his hand had been pierced into Dickinson's neck, and Mei Yiqiu was looking at him very nervously, holding his pipe in his hand, and stopped a centimeter away from his mouth, not moving.

Huang Liang didn't know that he had inadvertently mastered the art of real-life dreaming. It is not difficult to make a real-life dream, such as sleepwalking for ordinary people. But it is very difficult to consciously control a real-life dream, influence the real world through subconscious dreams, and use the subconscious to control the development of the two worlds in the direction you want while feeding back what happens in the real world to the dream in real time and keeping it in sync.

Even among the Awakened, this is an extremely advanced technique, and it is difficult to master without the guidance of a master. The former alliance was also wary of this ability to control dreams, because the impact on the real world was too great, which was completely different from you hypnotizing a person and doing something to her in your dreams.

Huang Liang was stunned for a moment, but then understood what was happening. He remembered some of the things Aoki had told him about mental power and dreams, which were too profound for him, and Aoki didn't explain it clearly, only told him that he would understand it when the time came. Now that he understands, it's a matter of course. However, the progress was still beyond his own expectations, and if Aoki was there, I don't know if it would have been unexpected.

He glanced at Mei Yiqiu and asked, "Is that right?" ”

Mei Yiqiu put the pipe in her mouth, took a sip, and said, "Yes, yes!" ”

Huang Liang wanted to ask if he had made a mistake, but after asking, he felt that it was ridiculous, and people couldn't see the chips in the meat, how could they know that it was wrong? However, the professor's answer is even more ridiculous, what does it mean to be good? Does it mean that he is in a good place, or that he has a good technique?

He smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to insert the needle.

Huang Liang has always been cautious, and he shouldn't have revealed his mental ability in front of people, but today Mei Yiqiu told him so many secrets, and bluntly said that he was a person who could be trusted, which made his nerves that had been tense a little relaxed. He didn't think it was like a temptation or a hoax, and it was just a hypnosis, a trick that many doctors do. As for his housekeeping skills, the scalpel condensed with mental power in his dream, he won't show it.

He re-entered his previous reality dream state. It's a rare experience, and if you don't grasp it at this time, you don't know how long it will take to get into such a state after missing it. He had a hunch that this was an opportunity for his spiritual power to break through again, but as for what realm he had reached after the breakthrough, he didn't know.

The person with the strongest mental power he had ever seen was Aoki, and the old lady he met on Sea Cucumber Street. Sometimes, he is also like trying to see how big a dream he can create when his mental power is fully released.

When he plunged the silver needle into the back of Dickinson's neck again, he found that he could incorporate more into the dream. As long as he wants, he can use this laboratory as a testing ground for real-life dreams. For a moment, he almost lost his mind, and was about to do it, as if a voice in the depths of his mind, in the depths of his dreams, was urging him to do so. But he finally restrained himself, he couldn't hypnotize Mei Yiqiu and Situ Yuli!

After a few times, he was able to touch the chip interface with the silver needle very steadily. He took seven silver needles and pierced them with a very fast stroke, and in his consciousness, the tips of the silver needles were aimed at the seven small holes in the chip structure diagram.

He gently twisted his hand a few times, allowing the tip of the needle to contact the core hole a little deeper, making sure the current could pass through, and then let go of his hand. At this time, the benefits of silver needles are reflected, because the needles are soft, not easy to break, thin and light, and will not fall off if pierced shallow.

Huang Liang took another seven needles and stuck them in Dickinson's seven pairs of cervical nerves, which was relatively easy, as long as he was careful not to hurt the nerves.

Then, he brought the professor a thin guidewire made of unknown metal, about the thickness of a hair, that he had prepared. He wound the guidewire around the tail of the silver needle, and connected the silver needle from the chip to the silver needle in the neck, and paired them in pairs, so that it was equivalent to connecting Dickinson's remaining seven pairs of cervical nerves with the chip.

This is a very delicate job, and it can only be done by a steady hand like Huang Liang.

When the last guidewire was successfully connected, he heard Situ Yuli's surprised voice:

"Signal found!"

"Are you sure it's the signal from the chip?" Mei Yiqiu asked.

"It was determined that the signal was maintained in the KU band, which was very different from the L band we used in the experiment." Situ Yuli said.

"KU band? It's suitable for communication, but I'm afraid it's not something that one or two satellites can cover. The professor looked at the ceiling with his pipe in his mouth, "How about fluctuating spectrum analysis?" ,”

"Same as Mr. Dickinson's brain waves."

"Okay, then let's see which satellites in the sky are supporting the chips. If you follow the vine, you might be able to find Lab 19 or someone else. Mei Yiqiu took the pipe off his mouth and picked up a walk-com next to him, "Prepare to monitor satellite data, with a focus on the KU band." ”

"Okay, Professor." Mei Ziqing's voice came from the intercom.

"Now turn off the radio shield and give it a test signal." The professor turned his head to Situ Yuli and said, then shouted into the intercom, "Pay attention to capturing satellite feedback, we only have one chance, once the other party notices, it will not be transmitting feedback signals." ”

"Understood!"

……

"Professor...... It seems a bit ...... Odd! Mei Ziqing said on the other end of the intercom.

"What's wrong?"

"Above the area where we are located, there are theoretically 132 satellites that can receive signals from the chip, and there are 27 communication satellites in the KU band. But...... Feedback messages are sent back to our test signals...... 129 pieces! This means ......"

"It means that in addition to our own quantum satellites, almost all satellites, whether civilian or military, are providing signal support for chips!"

Mei Yiqiu picked up the pipe again, but her eyes looked into the very empty distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Wait a minute, Professor...... There seem to be two signals. Situ Yuli said suddenly.

"What?" The professor turned around in surprise.

"In addition to the signal in the KU band that has been transmitting, the long-wave signal of 70KHz has just been discovered, which was sent by the chip when the satellite feedback signal was received."

"It's weird, it takes a long antenna to transmit long waves, how does this chip do it?"

"Maybe it's using the nerves of the human body. If you use nerves as antennas, you can convert brainwave signals into long-wave transmissions. ”

Mei Yiqiu nodded, and then said to herself, "But why are there two signals? It stands to reason that you don't need to! Moreover, long waves only propagate on the surface of the earth and cannot be received by satellites. The information on both sides cannot be communicated, can it be said that there are two ...... behind the chip"8)
