Chapter 1 The vacuum is not empty
"Dididi!"
"It has been detected that the current user's brainwave frequency has reached a critical point of will, for the sake of your physical health, please end the meditation immediately and exit the vacuum-sensing mind amplification chamber within ten seconds. Thank you for your cooperation. ”
Xin Silence was disturbed by a pleasant female voice, and suddenly withdrew from the artistic conception of Xuan Zhi Xuan, and then felt a weakness in his brain, a little dizzy.
He shook his head and forced his eyelids open, the narrow space around him was dark, and a display screen was projected in front of him, and a soft light shone into his eyes, listing his current body data.
Heart rate: 58 beats per minute;
Body temperature: 36.9 degrees Celsius;
Respiration: 9 breaths/min;
Brain frequency: 87 Hz;
Meditation duration: 180 minutes 02 seconds;
Xin Lonely couldn't help but sigh softly, except for a slight increase in the duration of meditation, the other data was not much different from the past.
At this time, the whole space shook slightly, the body was slowly pushed up from the lying state, and soon returned to the upright state under the action of gravity, the closed hatch slid open, and the magnetic field lines used to bind the body disappeared.
As far as the eye can see, this is a spacious and bright hall, quiet and serene, clean and dusty, and the floor is clean enough to be used as a mirror. On both sides of the hall against the wall, there are white metal columns, more than three meters high and more than one and a half meters in diameter, whose roots are connected to the ground to connect to the energy source.
Most of the pods were lying flat, and a green circle of light flashed outside the pod, indicating that someone in the pod was meditating.
"The business of the martial arts hall is really getting better day by day, it's already late at night, and there are still so many people paying to use the induction cabin, it seems that this month's turnover is going to increase again." Xin Xiao thought to himself, as he turned around and reached out to touch the wall next to the induction pod, and in an instant he passed the fingerprint verification, and the wall immediately slid open to reveal a locker, which contained his personal belongings.
Xin Lin took out his wrist-type mobile phone and put it on, as well as his coat, and at this time, there was a string of slight footsteps behind him, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was Du Xuanming, the waiter in the induction cabin.
Sure enough, a second later, Du Xuanming's voice sounded: "Senior Xin, have you broken the record again?" How much time is extended? ”
Xin Xiao was a little helpless, he knew what record Du Xuanming was talking about, so he pulled the zipper of the clothes on his chest with a snort, turned around and said, "It's 4 seconds more than the previous record." ”
"Isn't that more than three hours!"
Du Xuanming exclaimed, and then reacted that this was the hall of the induction cabin, and he was not allowed to make noise, so he hurriedly lowered his voice. He was just over nineteen years old, half a head shorter than Xin Lian, and his slightly young and immature face let people know that he was a college student working part-time in the martial arts hall. He looked at Xin Lone, who had a slender figure and well-proportioned limbs, and the strong muscle outlines faintly showing under his clothes, his eyes showed a little envy, and he thought to himself when he would be able to exercise his body like this.
Xin Lin didn't have a little joy, and said lightly: "What if it's more than three hours, it's not that you haven't sensed vacuum energy and can't become a Force Warrior." ”
The smile on Du Xuanming's face suddenly froze.
It is now the 31st century AD, and with the development of science and technology, mankind has confirmed that the vacuum contains a huge amount of background energy, and it still exists at absolute zero nine centuries ago. In earlier times, people did not know enough about vacuum energy, and could only speculate on its existence through extremely one-sided observational data, so it was once called dark energy or vacuum zero energy and negative energy sea.
In fact, the vacuum is not empty, whether it is dark energy, vacuum zero-point energy or negative energy state of the sea, their essence is vacuum energy.
Vacuum energy is the origin of the universe, it is the energy that drives all cosmic movements, and the original driving force that promotes the expansion of cosmic space, the passage of time, and the rotation of celestial bodies. It is the background and carrier of the universe, just as water is to fish, air is to people, the most universal existence, but the most difficult to detect. In fact, even up to now, human beings have not been able to directly observe vacuum energy through scientific means, even though vacuum energy accounts for 68.3% of the total mass energy of the universe and is ubiquitous in the universe.
Nearly a century has passed since the existence of vacuum energy was confirmed, and scientists were shocked to find that a very small number of human beings can directly sense the existence of vacuum energy without relying on any scientific instruments, and can also store vacuum energy in the body, absorb and strengthen themselves, and obtain unimaginable power!
Since vacuum energy is the primordial power of all cosmic motion, this supernatural power is simply named the Force, and those who possess it are called Force warriors.
Studies have found that those who can spontaneously sense the energy of the vacuum are all mentally strong and strong-willed, and only one in hundreds of millions of people can appear.
Most of the strong spirit comes from a strong body, which has triggered a fitness frenzy in human society, countless gyms have sprung up everywhere, a large amount of capital investment, and a huge industry scale has developed in a very short period of time.
Later, scientists combined the technology of alien civilizations, and spent decades to develop the vacuum induction thinking amplification cabin, with a variety of meditation techniques, which can greatly improve people's sensitivity to vacuum energy, and help more and more people sense vacuum energy.
Over the centuries, the number of people who perceive vacuum energy has increased dramatically, and fitness has now become a part of the daily lives of federal citizens.
The early gyms have been eliminated and replaced by regular martial arts gyms, which not only provide the most basic fitness services, but also have special personnel to guide the Force in cultivation, teach various martial arts fighting skills, and rent out expensive auxiliary equipment that ordinary people can't afford, such as the vacuum induction mind amplification cabin, which is the most important and popular practice equipment.
As the name suggests, the function of the induction cabin is to stimulate the brain through weak currents, accelerate the frequency of brain waves, enhance the effect of meditation, and improve the sensitivity of human beings to vacuum energy, but the induction cabin can not be used unlimitedly, according to the strength of each person's spiritual will, the use of the induction cabin for a long time.
The stronger the mental will, the longer the induction chamber will be used, and the easier it is to sense the vacuum energy.
Once the use of the induction chamber exceeds the critical point of will, it will cause almost irreversible damage to the brain, not only can it no longer sense vacuum energy, but also have a serious impact on human intelligence.
Normal adults use the induction chamber for no more than thirty minutes, and after a long period of meditation and cultivation, those with the best qualifications can reach about an hour, and this strength of spiritual will is enough to sense vacuum energy.
Xin Lin began to practice meditation at the age of fifteen, and when he was eighteen years old, he was able to hold on to the induction chamber for an hour, which can be described as a genius, and everyone who knew Xin Lin at the time believed that he would soon become a Force Warrior, but seven years later, he still did not sense the vacuum energy from his freshman year to his seventh year of graduation.
When meditating, Xin Lin always had a very strong feeling, as if he was about to sense the vacuum energy at any time, even if he broke through in the next second, he would not be surprised.
However, there seems to be an indescribable membrane separating the silence from the vacuum energy, this membrane is formless, like a shadow over his heart, seemingly fragile, can be blown through in one breath, but it is like an appendage, lingering, blocking him for seven years.
"It's really a day!"
Xin Lin had cursed like this countless times, but he was numb, but he didn't give up, insisting on the habit he had cultivated for many years, mechanically meditating every day, and now he has returned to his normal mind.
Ten years of unremitting efforts, coupled with the assistance of various external objects, Xin Lone's physical fitness has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, the muscles are strong, but they do not look bulky and bloated at all, coupled with a height advantage of nearly one meter nine, making the body well-proportioned and the limbs slender, although the appearance is not very handsome, but the facial features are angular, quite attractive, coupled with the resolute temperament revealed in the eyes, the whole person is like an uncarved jade.
The record of ordinary people's meditation time in the induction capsule has long been broken by Xin Silence. Over the years, records have been broken and now Xin Silence can meditate in the induction pod for more than three hours, longer than many full-fledged Force warriors!
It's a pity that no matter how long the record is, it can't make him a Force Warrior, Xin Silent is silent, and his face is not good-looking.
Du Xuanming was very clear about Xin Lone's situation, and could only comfort: "With Senior Xin's spiritual will and hard work, sooner or later I will succeed, if I can't even do you, then I don't have to count on it." ”
Xin Lin smiled, he had heard this kind of thing a lot, how could outsiders understand his persistence for so many years?
If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.
In this era, despite the increased probability, the percentage of Force Warriors is still very low, about one out of a thousand people becomes the Force Warrior, so don't the remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine people have to live? The Earth Federation is not only supported by Force warriors, there is no other way out if you can't cultivate, and if you do it well, you can still get ahead.
Most of the citizens of the Federation have this mentality, although they envy the Force Warriors for their many privileges, high social status, easy to make money, great strength, longer lifespan than ordinary people, etc., everyone has tried to cultivate, but when they encounter setbacks, or after understanding the difficulties of cultivation, it doesn't take long to give up this path and put their hope in the next generation.
The people of the interstellar age lacked almost nothing in terms of materiality, except perseverance.
And Xin Lonely is a rare person with great perseverance.
Therefore, although Xin Lin has been in a difficult situation in the past few years, and his strange situation is occasionally joked about by his classmates and friends, he has never been ridiculed, but many people admire his perseverance very much, and the title of "waste wood" will not fall on his head.
Xin Lin saw Du Xuanming's expression a little embarrassed, knowing that he had misunderstood, thinking that he had touched his sore spot, but in fact, he didn't care at all, but he didn't want to explain more, and asked, "Senior brother, what's the matter with me?" ”
"Oh," Du Xuanming remembered the matter and hurriedly said, "Manager Fei asks you to come to his office after the meditation." ”
Xin Lonely frowned slightly, looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already more than one o'clock in the night, and suddenly felt a little bad.
