Chapter 53: The Willpower Test
"What I discovered this time is supposed to be a very small world, right?"
"In terms of the energy transition reaction, it should be like this. This kind of world often only has one or two monsters living in it, which is very dangerous and does not have much research value......"
"Well, even if it's a military training...... Something is better than nothing......"
At this point in the discussion, the senior management of these institutes was slightly silent.
Since the beginning of the new century, it has been more than ten years since the restart of the institute, and their group of enthusiastic young people have gradually reached middle age with the flow of time.
However, the research did not go well.
There is a sense of inhumanity in various brainwave experiments, and even if good confidentiality measures are taken, there is still a lot of pressure from all sides. Perhaps, a certain high-level leader suddenly had a heart attack and gave them a little resistance, and the whole work would have to be delayed for a year and a half.
Or maybe a key talent, because he has been exposed to too many weird things, has too much pressure, and he just picks it up, which is enough for the entire research institute to eat a pot.
The most important thing is that the results of the research are very small, and have neither particularly great economic nor political value, as if they are just for the sake of curiosity.
After all, this thing cannot be directly disclosed like the "moon landing", and it cannot boost the morale of the broad masses of the people, so what is the use?
Speaking of this, everyone sighed.
Today's officials often only have a few years in office, and they all hope to show their skills and make more achievements during their tenure. As for whether there is a tail left for the next one, then it is none of your own business. This has led to them placing more emphasis on the short-term benefits of a project and ignoring the long-term benefits.
Therefore, no one is willing to invest heavily in the "Psychic Research Institute", a very strange, very mysterious, and even a few people die from time to time, but there is no famous research organization.
From the initial ambitious investment, to now, the research funding is getting smaller and smaller every year.
"Even if there is a lack of finances and talents, even the larger idealistic world has not been able to find one...... There is no idealistic world, and we still study a fart? It's better to disband! ”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man was a little angry in his words: "Didn't the recruited supernumerary personnel say that they can discover the world of idealism?" All of them are eating dry meals and taking funds...... Sightseeing? If you hadn't found a few ultra-small ...... I even seriously doubt that they are not gifted at all! ”
He was even more angry that even the old guys who had been working in this area in the past did not support the reopening of the institute and were silent about a large number of secrets.
For more than ten years, no one person's work has been done, and some people simply brought the secret to the coffin. These people all have status, and it is impossible to use force, ask some confidential questions, and people don't bother to deal with you at all.
"It's really strange that such an important research seems to destroy the whole world. Even if that time...... After a large number of deaths, there is no need to be so negative, right? ”
“…… Lao Liu, don't look at me, I was just a peripheral member of the Wutong Society at the time, and I didn't have a sixth sense talent. I don't know anything......"
Another gray-haired old man was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Lao Liu, it's not that I don't support national research. But there are some things that are better to know than not to know, so why do you have to know? That kind of horror, can you really accept it, and what is the point of bringing it to our world? ”
……
Seeing the other party's malicious scrutiny, Fang Yuhao had goosebumps for no reason.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses held a helmet-like thing and carefully wiped the inside and out with a towel, which showed that the other party seemed to have a very serious cleanliness habit.
"Don't be afraid, this is the Transhuman Mind Research Center, which can be said to be an academic research institution, but with a little military background......"
"I'll test your qualifications first and see your talent level...... You go over there and wash your face first, and then you bring this thing with you. ”
Fang Yuhao washed his face by the sink and asked casually, "What does the Mind Research Institute do?" ”
"Of course, it's the study of the human soul, plus the exploration of the idealistic world......"
"You want me to be a soldier?"
The man with glasses rolled his eyes: "I want to be beautiful, this is a secret agency, just rely on you as a new ...... At most, be a supernumerary...... There is only good and no harm, as long as you keep it secret. ”
Just now, he got the news that he would try to incorporate this young man as much as possible, as long as the other party's request was not too excessive......
This helmet is a bit like a brainwave examination instrument in the hospital, Fang Yuhao was a little curious in his heart, and put it on properly.
The man with glasses was on a large square instrument, debugged for a while, and continued: "Okay, the next step is the test of willpower, the longer you stick to it, the better." Willpower is a very crucial thing in the world of spiritualism, and it is related to your ability to resist spiritual attacks. ”
Suddenly, Fang Yuhao's mind tingled.
Several steel needles had pierced some of the acupuncture points in his head!
Immediately afterward, the needles released certain microcurrents, which constantly stimulated his cranial nerves, causing him to have a strange desire for drowsiness.
This desire came strongly, and he held his spirit to prevent himself from falling asleep.
"This is the willpower test?"
Fang Yuhao's heart moved slightly, he thought for a while, and felt that it was better for him to be a little quieter, and he shouldn't go beyond ordinary people too much. After holding on for a while, he suddenly relaxed his vigilance and closed his heavy eyelids directly.
At this moment of falling asleep, he felt ...... The surroundings are clear again!
Yes, he knew that he was sleeping, but his consciousness was awake, and he could even perceive the situation around him, and even the lines on the machine could be seen clearly.
"This is a lucid dream, right?" I remember that when I was in school before, I used to do it when I was vague-minded, and Fang Yuhao was no stranger to this.
"It's amazing, this is a technology that really exists in the world in addition to the system! I didn't expect the current level of technology to be not bad. ”
"Willpower: C+, okay, slightly stronger than the average person." The voice of the man with glasses came to his ears.
With a faint echo, as if from another plane.
"Experience it, this is the state of lucid dreaming, which is equivalent to your sixth sense being forcibly activated. Even with your eyes closed, you can sense what is around you. ”
"Of course, it's very small, it's very draining, you can't sense anything outside the room, and you can't move it......"
