Chapter 223: A Middle-Aged Man New to the Institute
He was helped out of the car, and his black mask was removed.
"Alright, we're here." It was General Ross who spoke: "This is where we studied the helmet. ”
After adjusting to the light for a while, Professor David Huber saw his surroundings clearly.
It is a huge, empty venue like a stadium with a dome closed. In this huge space that resembles a football stadium, there are countless rooms with transparent glass on all sides.
A man in a white coat or a black suit was moving from room to room.
There are quite a few scientific instruments in each room, and many people are fiddling with something in front of them.
After handing over all his personal belongings, being carefully and thoroughly examined, and being taken to a room with frosted glass walls, where he was showered and put on a new set of clothes and a lab coat, Professor David Huber finally entered the research base.
In fact, the circle of top scientists is not large, and it is normal for some global scientific research conferences to have only thirty or forty people present, and many scientists usually bow their heads and do not look up, and even if they have not seen them, they will often hear their names, see them in scientific research journals, and even have some email exchanges.
Therefore, Professor David Huber unsurprisingly discovered that most of the other people in white coats he knew, Professor Kevin Flynn, an authority on electronics, Dr. Hambani, the pioneer of human organs, and Dr. Simon, a famous psychologist...... There are all kinds of scientific research fields, and they are all leaders in this field.
Some of them knew him well and greeted him cordially as they passed by.
It seems that the helmet that General Ross said may indeed be true, otherwise so many top scientists would not all gather here, and the government is very handy and determined this time......
So, Professor David Huber looked at General Ross next to him: "I want to ask, how far has the current research been?" And what am I responsible for researching? ”
"In terms of progress, there haven't been many breakthroughs." General Ross was polite: "But you are a famous neuroscientist and an authority in the field of brain waves, and you are responsible for the research of brain waves and brain nerves of course helmet users, but you can rest assured, we have prepared the experimental assistants and related scientific research instruments for you, and you will understand when you go." ”
At this moment, a tall white woman with brown hair trotted over and whispered something in General Ross's ear.
"I see." General Ross nodded, and looked back at Professor David Huber, "I'm sorry, Professor, I still have some business to attend to, Dr. Banner will take you to the lab and explain the situation." ”
Dr. Banner is also a researcher, with a rather athletic build, and although he has not seen him before, Professor David Huber has also heard of his name, and he is a well-known scientist in the field of high-energy radiation.
"In fact, we've been working on this helmet for more than 20 hours, but we haven't found anything else, except for a few more useless electronic components, it's not much different from a normal motorcycle helmet, but its users are assured that this helmet will indeed allow them to sleep in the virtual reality world......"
After listening to it for a while, Professor David Huber was puzzled: "This is the fundamental truth, although I am not very proficient in electronics, but since there are no virtual reality-related components, how do they enter the virtual reality world?" There has to be a vehicle that can affect the brain, right? ”
"Yes, we are full of doubts about this." Dr. Banner said: "However, since the helmet is only sold in China, and only to Chinese people who have Chinese nationality and have Chinese ID cards, we can only find a way to disassemble and study the helmet, and then we can only find a way to do it on the current seventeen Chinese test subjects." ”
"That'...... Could it be that these Chinese people have deceived us? Professor David Huber, though middle-aged, is still very active in his thinking: "It's like ...... Just like before we deceived the Soviet Union with the planetary project, wanting to drag us down with this so-called virtual reality helmet? ”
"Of course there is." Dr. Banner had a serious face: "There are seventeen Chinese test subjects in the first batch of transport, with a wide range of ages, ranging from twenty to fifty-eight years old, and engaged in a variety of occupations, most of which are randomly selected, and they don't look like spies to deceive people......"
"And the CIA is not a vegetarian, they have an experienced interrogation verification system: high-end polygraph equipment, facial expression experts, interrogation experts, psychological warfare experts, background investigators...... Even if one or two have been professionally trained by the Chinese government and are lucky enough to pass the interrogation verification, it is impossible for all seventeen of them to be able, right? ”
"And it is said that the second batch of more than 80 experimental samples is already on the way, and will soon be sent through special channels, and I heard that there are a few of them that are our field spies lurking in China...... These more than 80 people can't all be spies sent by Huaguo, right? ”
As the words fell, Dr. Banner stopped and pointed to a glass room next to him: "Okay, Professor David Huber, this is your lab, and the project you are currently in charge of is very simple, which is to verify whether they are indeed asleep, entering the so-called virtual reality world, and after entering the virtual reality world, their brain wave changes, ......etc."
"Okay, I see!" After listening to his words, Professor David Huber nodded and watched Dr. Banner leave.
The glass room was large, seventy or eighty square meters, and it was filled with high-end instruments, some of which were even a little more high-end than those in his laboratory.
There were several other people in the room, two assistants in their twenties, also in white coats, with the "Research Assistant" sign on their chests, two sturdy and capable agents in black suits, and one in his mid-forties, somewhat chubby, with small eyes and yellow skin...... Chinese.
Presumably he was one of the first batch of seventeen Chinese experimenters.
Although he is Chinese, this chubby Chinese is very fluent in English: "...... Are you sure you're going to help me get a green card and provide me with political asylum? ”
Agent A: "Yes, as long as you cooperate with the experiment, that's not a problem. ”
"I still have a wife and two children at home, are they ......?"
Agent A: "Don't worry, we'll arrange for them to be brought to the United States, you just need to cooperate with the rest of the experiment." ”
"Are you sure the Chinese government won't send someone to assassinate me? Are my wives and children dead at their hands? ”
Agent A: "Rest assured, we have enough strength to protect you, your wife and children are safe now, and you'll be able to see them soon after the experiment is over." ”
"Actually...... In fact, I still have a junior, which is ...... It's a lover, she gave birth to a son for me, can you take them too? Of course, don't let her meet my wife. ”
Agent A: "No problem, as long as you cooperate with the experiment, we'll help arrange this." ”
