Because they didn't understand how to operate the instruments, they didn't recklessly move those instruments. After looking at it carefully, he didn't find any other clues, so he left this room first and went to other rooms to have a look.

I looked at more than ten rooms in a row, all of which were laboratories. It's just that some study animals, some study worms, some study plants, and some study soil and bacteria.

While everyone was looking at these laboratories, they were talking about it, guessing what kind of monster was behind it?

Wang Xiaotian did not participate in the discussion, he remembered another thing in his heart.

In the dream, the brain-shaped monster had said that it had been ambushed by an enemy and had arrived in a lifeboat, and that the exact time of its arrival was unknown.

However, it later said that it took tens of thousands of years of research to transform the underworld into its current state. Then, because there were too many monsters underground, it guided the monsters to the surface.

As a result, the monsters that came to the ground, because of the interference of the devil's whispering, all turned into irrational walking corpses. Then the monsters on the ground suddenly became empty.

Assuming that the brain-type monster is not lying, when the monster on the ground suddenly becomes empty, it should be the first beast tide. It was probably not long before the beginning of the new era.

It can be inferred from this that the time when the mastermind behind the scenes guided the monster to the ground should be at the end of the old era, when the war was in a stalemate, and human beings were too busy to take care of themselves, or at the beginning of the new era, when the human homeland was destroyed and it was difficult to survive.

Otherwise, if there are so many strange animals in any country, the country will definitely do its best to find out the cause. The secrets of the underworld should have been exposed a long time ago!

From the first beast tide to the present, it has only been more than a thousand years. This period of time is the stage when the timeline of the underworld and the outer world coincides.

Compare the changes in the beast tide creatures, and the tens of thousands of years it took to transform the underground world according to the brain-type creatures, and you can find that the time scale spoken by the brain-type creatures is completely different from the outside world!

The time scale it expresses is much faster than the outside world!

In the past, Wang Xiaotian was very puzzled that the interval between the two beast tides was about a hundred years. How can there be so many monsters in a hundred years?

If the speed of time in the underworld is much faster than that of the outside world, then it makes sense.

But!

But!!

Wang Xiaotian couldn't understand how it was possible to change the speed of time? This has seriously deviated from scientific common sense.

Ye Jianjian saw Wang Xiaotian's constipated expression and asked, "Xiaotian, where are you uncomfortable?"

Wang Xiaotian straightened out his thoughts and said his thoughts. Everyone was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, Dugu Ying suddenly said to Wang Xiaotian: "I'm stupid, I can't understand the timeline, time flow rate, etc. ”

"However, I believe in a dead reason, seeing is believing. What you said, what you have transformed the underground world, and what brain-type monsters have been, are all experienced by you in your dreams. Perhaps, those are all fake?"

Ding Sicong said: "If what Xiao Tian said in the dream realm is fake, then how to explain the things in front of you? Who made these instruments? What is the language of those symbols on them? Why do those monsters appear in the instruments?"

Dugu Ying couldn't explain it, scratched his head, and said: "I didn't say that what Xiao Tian said was false, maybe the tens of thousands of years he heard in his dream was not what we understood at all?"

Tuoba Qing said: "No. According to what Brother Xiaotian said, his communication with that monster was not through words at all, but directly through brain waves, and there should be no translation errors. ”

Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "If that monster is from an alien planet, maybe it measures time differently than we do." I listen to the fourth sister...... Ms. Hyun Young said that we calculate time by the interval between sunrises for one day and one night. ”

"With us, a day and a night are 24 hours. On other planets, the interval between sunrises can be more than 100 hours or just a few hours. If we are all calculated in days, then a day of more than 100 hours must have a different speed of time than a day of several hours. ”

Everyone felt that it made sense and nodded their heads.

Only Wang Xiaotian felt that Moli's explanation was not the same thing as his own problem. It's just that he hasn't thought about how to express it yet.

At this time, Cheng Yunshi suddenly looked at everyone and said slowly: "Have you heard the story of Huangliang Yimeng?"

The crowd was amazed and puzzled.

Cheng Yunshi said: "This story is that a scholar who was rushing to take the exam came to a hotel to stay, and the owner of the hotel was cooking small rice, because millet is yellow, so it is also called Huang Liang." ”

The scholar walked for a long time, and was a little tired, so he told the innkeeper that the meal was ready for him to eat. Then he fell asleep on the table. In the dream, he dreamed that he was a Jinshi and married a beautiful and gentle woman of noble birth. ”

Later, this scholar rose all the way up, and became a major official such as the Hubu Shangshu, the Imperial Shi Dafu, and the Zhongshu Order, and was also awarded the highest title. Moreover, there are many children and grandchildren, and the 5 children are also high-ranking officials and marry high-ranking families. ”

"This scholar has enjoyed all the glory and wealth. When he was 80 years old, he was sick for a long time and finally died. At this time, the reader woke up in shock and found that the innkeeper's Huangliang rice had not yet been cooked. ”

"This scholar has lived in his dreams for sixty or seventy years, but in reality he has not even had a meal. Senior Brother Wang Xiaotian, do you think this story means what you say?"

Wang Xiaotian rubbed his temples and pondered for a moment, and said, "Although it sounds very scary, this explanation should be the most reasonable." ”

Ye Jianjian thought for a while and said, "In the legend of the ancients, there is a strange animal called the mirage, and the breath it exhales can form an illusion with pavilions and buildings. However, those are illusions and are fake. But what we see in front of us is real. It is fundamentally different from the illusion formed by the mirage. ”

Ding Sicong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Wang Xiaotian in disbelief, and said, "Xiaotian, you mean that this place where we are is actually an illusion?"

Cheng Yunshi said: "No, we don't stay in the illusion, but in the dream of a monster. ”

"Huh?" everyone exclaimed at the same time.

Dugu Ying said: "How is this possible? The wall we just cut and the monsters we killed along the way, are they all fake?"

Sergeant Lu was more direct, he reached out and pinched his face, and said, "I can obviously feel the pain." ”

Wang Xiaotian sighed and said, "Have you ever heard the hypothesis of the brain in the vat?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Wang Xiaotian said: "Our perception of the outside world is carried out through sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, etc. These perceptions, although they are the responsibility of different organs, are ultimately handled by the brain. ”

"For example, if I listen to you, although the ear is an auditory organ, it is only responsible for converting the sound I hear into nerve signals and transmitting them to the brain. ”

"The brain then converts the nerve signals, reads the information, and after a series of processes, the brain knows what you are saying. Other senses of sight, touch, taste, etc., are also treated in this way. ”

"Suppose you take out a person's brain, put it in a vat and cultivate it, and then connect the nerves of the brain to some simulator, and then input some analog signals to make him think that he is reading, eating, or doing some work. In reality, all that is left is a brain. ”

"If the simulated signal is perfect, no different from normal, then can this brain tell whether it is a whole person or a brain in a vat?"

Wang Xiaotian looked at everyone and concluded: "What we think is real is just what our brain makes us think is true. How can we tell if it's actually true or not?"

"Or maybe we were still sleeping where we had camped on the first day, and what we were going through was just a dream. ”

"Or, we're real. It's just that we have now walked into the dream of a special being. All of this, the underworld, the beast tide, is part of its dreams. ”

"Because it is a dream, the flow of time is different from reality, so in just a hundred years, we have been able to create an overwhelming number of monsters and strange birds with a number of millions. ”

After Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and pondered. The content of what Wang Xiaotian said was too weird, it had subverted their cognition, and they had to think about it for a while.

Wang Xiaotian didn't bother them, and he began to study a machine himself.

Thinking about it day and dreaming at night. Dreams are distorted realities. No matter what kind of dream it is, there is a certain reality in it.

For example, nine times out of ten, the people you meet in your dreams are people you have met in reality. Somewhere I dreamed of going to was probably a place I've been to before.

This dream-making being must create dreams according to the environment in which it is located.

Judging from the environment here, this guy who created dreams should live in the era of spaceships, and technology is extremely advanced.

From this point of view, the brain-shaped monster that Wang Xiaotian encountered in his dream last night was not completely lying.

Also, it is very likely that these machines and the symbols on them also exist in reality, but they do not exist in this world. If you can find some clues from it, it will still be good for cracking this dream.

Wang Xiaotian wrote down these symbols one by one and asked Ta Ling to quickly decipher them. Taling reluctantly agreed, and drained him of much of his Force.

Everyone reacted from their thoughts.

Ye Jianjian was the first to say: "What Xiao Tian said just now is really incredible, but it is very likely to be the truth. Next, whether to move forward or retreat, you decide for yourselves. ”

"As for myself, to be honest, no matter who created this dream, no matter who is sacred, it is a great threat to us and to the people of the outside world. If I don't find it, I'll have trouble sleeping. What do you think? ”

Ding Sicong and Sergeant Lu exchanged glances and said, "We were entrusted by the two marshals to come here for the purpose of finding out the secrets of the Great Wilderness. How can you back down when it matters? We follow you. ”

Tuoba Qing said: "Me too. In this beast tide, we lost more than thirty brothers in Wind Wolf Castle, and in the previous beast tides, we lost even more. If I don't find the secret of the beast tide, how can I be worthy, these dead companions?"

Dugu Ying thought for a while and said, "There is great strength in many people, together." ”

Ye Zhanjian looked at Mo Li. Mo Li shrugged his shoulders, "I'm a guide." How can there be a guide who doesn't lead the way?"

Ye Jianjian turned his head to look for Wang Xiaotian and saw that he was bending over, carefully looking at the symbols on a machine.

At this moment, in Wang Xiaotian's mind, his divine sense was communicating with Ta Ling. According to Taling's analysis, this symbol is a special kind of writing, which is very old, older than the history of the earth, and even earlier than the era of the formation of the entire universe.

So, it is not the text of this universe. This kind of writing is similar to the Rune of the Force, which is summarized and refined from the most primitive nature. Each symbol not only expresses a complex meaning, but also has a special role.

However, just like the rune array, which is a text for the Force, this special kind of text also has a specific object of use, that is, consciousness, and the more popular name is "soul power!"
