Chapter 69: Dreams
It was also the imbalance of his mentality that he took out time to relax. After all, since he got the Heart of Truth, there has been almost no leisurely time like this, and he doesn't have to think about anything.
Through the adjustment during this period of time, Ning Yuan slowly adjusted his mentality, at least he was able to face and understand himself calmly.
And in the sea of consciousness, the seventeen thoughts seem to be much purer, in his senses, it is as if a thick layer of dust has been wiped away, more clear and clear, every wisp of thought is clearly reflected in it, and he firmly controls it.
"Good night, Lily!" Seeing the lights of Lily's apartment turn on, Ning Yuan whispered to the girl who could no longer hear, although after tomorrow, she will forget her acquaintance with Ning Yuan in the past few days...... Like the other girls, he was their passer-by, and they were his passers-by.
After starting the car and turning on the automatic driving, Ning Yuan groped his chin, "How else to say that men and women are matched, and they are not tired of working, and they really talk about love with beautiful girls, and talking about love is indeed very relaxing!" Of course, this does not rule out the resentment that Ning Yuan didn't even have a girlfriend before he crossed over, although he also liked a certain girl in college, but in fact, Ning Yuan was a single dog after graduation, and now it can be regarded as a dream come true.
After returning to the hotel, Ning Yuan called him from a US president, and then learned what he wanted to know from the other party.
Three days later, in a secret laboratory of the US military, Ning Yuan was accompanied by several high-level officials of the base in military uniforms, visiting the experiments behind the glass opposite.
"Yes, sir, implanted thoughts are dangerous, both for the implanter and the implanted." The person in charge of receiving Ning Yuan's "high-level" was the person in charge of this base, and Raphael Marx looked with some pity at the man behind the glass wall who was constantly going crazy, but was bound by his restraints, drooling, and glaring angrily.
"It has been 20 years since the invention of Lianmeng technology, and the military has not given up on the research of this technology in addition to the conventional combat training role." An old man in a white lab coat next to Raphael said.
"A lot of people believe that this technology is enough to change the world. In fact, the situation is similar now. The old man continued, "Think about it, when we can manipulate a person's mind, then we can control a person's soul, and we will become gods. The old man seemed a little fanatical.
Ning Yuan looked at the prisoner in the glass wall who was mentally broken because of the implantation of thoughts, and Ning Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. When he came, he was mentally prepared, but he still underestimated the difficulty and danger of mind implantation.
In fact, the military, as a technology developer, has been researching this area for a long time, and it is not only Damme Cobb who thought of ideological implantation. In the movie, Daum's wife, Mel, is so immersed in the dream that she is reluctant to wake up because she has entered the dream too deeply. As a last resort, Daum can only find the totem hidden by his wife, implant in it the idea that this is not the real world, and then commit suicide to return to the real world, trying to make her realize that this is a dream. Although he succeeded in convincing Mel that it was a dream and was willing to return to reality with him, the tragedy was that the mind was planted too deeply, and even though Mel woke up to the real world, he still believed that it was also a dream.
So Mel blamed Daum for suicide in order to make Daum commit suicide, so the tragic Daum was only wanted by the United States at the beginning of the movie.
From this aspect, we can already understand the horror of implanting thoughts.
And unlike the two "civil sciences" of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, as a laboratory of the military, this kind of ideological implantation experiment has a complete set of experiments and has obtained a lot of precious data. And at the price, it is these people who have a complete nervous breakdown.
"It's a pity that up to now, we can only do some simple thought implantation, and the number of implantation should not be too much, and the implanted thought can not contradict itself, if it is too complicated, the good point of the personality split, the bad complete collapse of consciousness, and even the death of consciousness, forever sleeping." As the director of the experiment, Dr. Allen said.
"What if they were to believe in a god, then?" Ning Yuan asked curiously.
Dr. Allen pushed his glasses, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although it is impossible to completely brainwash a person's outlook on life and values, it is still possible to change the preference for a specific thing. ”
"We once planted the mind of a man who loved meat, and now he is a vegetarian through and through, and we have converted a committed Muslim to Jesus." Dr. Allen said proudly.
Ning Yuan nodded, and what he said was that the military, as a technology developer, could be worse than those in the civilian sector in the application of Lianmeng technology, after all, as an institution under the jurisdiction of the state, they have the support of all aspects of the state, and there are countless experimental products to do experiments.
"Can you make me feel it, I mean let me try to dream and dream?" Ning Yuan was a little curious if this technique would have an effect on him, after all, at his point, the consciousness that condensed seventeen conscious thoughts was already very strong, and he could even clearly grasp every strand of his thoughts, not to mention the subconscious that was difficult for ordinary people to grasp.
Raphael and Dr. Allen looked at each other, "Alright, Chief Claude, please." ”
Soon, under the leadership of the two, Ning Yuan came to a laboratory that looked like a science fiction movie.
"This is the newly developed United Dream Machine, Dream Maker No. 10." Alan pointed to a large machine similar to the Dream Link in the movie, which looked even more advanced than the one they used by Daum in the movie.
After a while, a shrewd-looking man appeared in front of the trio, he was the best dream maker in the base, a profession that only people with strong logical thinking and imagination could hold, because they often had to construct the general environment of the dream in a short period of time.
Soon several more experimenters came, one of them carefully opened the protective lock of the United Dream Machine, and carefully pressed a kind of medicine bottle called Somnacin by Dr. Allen into the middle stand, with a crisp dripping sound, a series of contents were displayed on the LED on the side, and the experimenter began to set the dosage of Somnacin. This special thing stimulates the brain and makes it easy for people to fall asleep and dream.
Dr. Allen explained to Ning Yuan about the dream machine and the dream element, and with Ning Yuan's permission, the dream maker first tied the portable intravenous syringe to Ning Yuan's hand, who was already lying on the bed, and then tied this thing himself, which would connect the brain waves of the two people through the dream machine, and then Ning Yuan could enter the dream of the dream maker.
"Good night, Mr. Claude!" Dr. Allen gently pressed the button of the Dream Machine.
As the fluctuations of consciousness gradually slowed down, Ning Yuan felt as if he had entered the state of waking up every morning, and after an unknown amount of time, in this state, it seemed that he could not perceive the flow of time at all.
By the time he came to his senses, he was already sitting in a café with soothing blues in his ears, and Gene the Dream Maker was putting sugar cubes in his coffee. Faintly, however, he seemed to feel his sleeping body, as if his consciousness and body were separated into two parts, one immersed in a dream, the other connected to the main body.
"Is this a dream?" Looking at this ordinary but empty café, Ning Yuan asked curiously.
"Yes, Mr. Claude!" Jean shrugged his shoulders and stirred the coffee slowly. "You've taken me by surprise, though."
"Why?" Ning Yuan asked.
"You know I'm a dreamer, I can even copy half of New York in ten minutes, but now it's clearly failing!" Jean pointed to the outside of the coffee shop, where it was a pile of patches of color, as if there weren't enough pixels.
Looking at this world that seemed to have only one coffee shop, Ning Yuan was a little confused. Fortunately, Jean went on to explain: "In the case of this dream, you are the owner of the dream, and I am just a designer. I can temporarily control this dream through the dream machine, then modify it, and finally return control of the dream to the owner of the dream......"
Jean Mi continued, but Ning Yuan already knew what the other party wanted to say, "You failed?" ”
Jean seemed to be a talkative young man, he drank the coffee in his hand, and said slowly: "Of course, I originally wanted to build a scene of an alien invasion of tentacle monsters, but I found that it could not affect your dreams at all, you see no matter how many times I tried, in the end, there was only such an empty café." ”
Ning Yuan was naturally familiar with this café, this was the place he often went to school, just now before he was injected into the dream Su to fall asleep, he happened to see someone outside the laboratory carrying coffee walking by. So maybe that's why the dream scene is here. And the strength of one's own consciousness is not something that an ordinary person can influence, so the other party cannot modify the environment in the dream.
"You're strong-willed, you know, Mr. Claude! Before that, I could only see it in the elite of those special forces. Jean appreciated, where could he have thought that Ning Yuan was a spell caster who was proficient in meditation and relied on mental power and magic to eat.
