Chapter 71: Abnormal brain waves

"Professor Yang, Dean Zhang is in charge of the quarantine." Williams was still embarrassed.

Zhang Tianlin saw Williams's embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart, which could only be said to be self-inflicted. But he knew that Williams was forced to do so, as the council had already hinted at it.

"Professor Yang has worked hard." Zhang Tianlin walked forward quickly, "It's not isolation, we will carry out normal inspection procedures for you, it won't be too long, please forgive me." ”

"Hehe, I know the process." Yang Baiwen's attitude towards Zhang Tianlin is completely different from Williams, "Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with your work." I have a suggestion for you, though. ”

"Oh, please."

"As far as I know, you haven't left the surface of the earth."

"It's ......"

"The Milky Way is beautiful, I suggest you go and see it."

"Ha, I must go and see it if I have a chance."

……

Three days later, the test results for Yang and four other astronauts came back — everything was normal, and the five were immediately released from quarantine. In view of the impact of the last "mass suicide" of astronauts, the Council did not dare to make a similar fuss again.

In this way, the exploration plan has come to nothing. However, there is one person who has not given up, and that is Zeng Shuo. He never believed that the two events were a coincidence, so he tested the spacecraft over and over again, but the results were predictable.

Just when he was at a loss, an idea popped into his head.

He called up the test data of the four astronauts of the "Speed of Light" and the five astronauts of the "Exploration No. 1", and carefully compared the data of their before and after liftoff.

Finally, he discovered a major problem, and after careful consideration, he decided to report the matter to Zhang Tianlin first.

"You're saying their brain waves have changed, before and after liftoff?" After listening to the report, Zhang Tianlin asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's all very small changes, and that's probably the crux of the matter." Zeng Shuo held a magnifying glass, "Look, here, there is a turning point at the peak. Here, too, at the peak, and here......"

After comparison, the brainwaves of these nine people did change slightly. Both were shocked and silent.

"Look, what's next?" Zeng Shuo was the first to break the silence, "This matter is not trivial......

"I know, I know."

Zhang Tianlin muttered, thinking about the best solution and the worst outcome.

"Do I need to escalate to the Board?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to." Zhang Tianlin said absentmindedly.

"Will there be an event similar to the last one?"

Zeng Shuo said worriedly, and he could hear that he was against doing so.

"We don't know what kind of impact the changes in the brain waves will have on them, and if they don't report it, it could cause more serious problems."

Zhang Tianlin whispered that this was beyond his cognition.

"Do aliens really exist?"

After saying this, Zeng Shuo only felt a wave of fear hit him.

Zhang Tianlin did not answer this unanswerable question, and at the moment he thought that the five people must be isolated for further brain wave examination.

But on what grounds? If there is a problem with the brain waves, what should I do next?

Hearing Zhang Tianlin's concern, Zeng Shuo was silent again.

He originally thought that as long as he could devote himself to the aerospace industry, he would one day realize his lofty ideals. He also thought that the road to success was full of ups and downs and twists and turns, but he didn't expect the first problem he encountered to be so tricky.

It seems that success is always hard to come by.

"We can claim that we missed a test and need to retest, isolate them first, and then analyze the brainwave problem." Zeng Shuo proposed, and also expressed his concerns, "However, if you do this, the council will naturally know." ”

After weighing it repeatedly, Zhang Tianlin felt that this was the most feasible plan. At the same time, he suggested that Zeng Shuo should report the matter to William immediately and that he must be made aware of it. Together, the three of them briefed the Council.

Zeng Shuo understood that Zhang Tianlin was thinking about him, so he did so.

The Board of Directors recognized the seriousness of the problem and immediately reported to the Co-Chair, who issued a supreme order to investigate the problem at all costs, and at the same time adjust the defense mode of the "Dome" to the highest level, and turn on the attack mode!

No one expected that the co-chair would attach so much importance to this issue, not only issued several instructions, but also asked his secretary general to be stationed in the space academy to supervise the progress of the incident. All of a sudden, the most important figures of the coalition government were concentrated in the Space Research Institute.

Except, of course, the heads of various media outlets, because they all received orders from Zhang Mingyuan to keep silent about this matter.

The co-chairmen instructed that the study of Yang Baiwen and the other five people should be carried out in secret, and strive to clarify the problem in the shortest possible time, eliminate the impact, and ensure the safety of several people's lives. Moreover, Zhang Tianlin is required to be fully responsible for this matter, and there can be no more tragedies.

Zhang Tianlin didn't dare to slack off, and symbolically made a supplementary examination of the five people, and the most difficult thing to do next was how to appease them and their families' emotions, and keep them silent......

After three days of hard work, the pacification work was completed, and after seeing the pacification document signed by the co-chair, Yang Baiwen and others agreed to cooperate with the study.

In fact, in the process of appeasement, the four astronauts were easy to persuade, because they "trusted" Dean Zhang Tianlin and understood the importance of this matter.

On the contrary, Yang Baiwen's resistance is relatively large, and the reasons for this are, first, the "collective suicide incident" of the four astronauts on the "Lightspeed" vividly, and second, he himself has great opinions on Williams.

However, when he learned that Zhang Tianlin was personally in charge of the investigation, he was relieved.

We know that the human brain is made up of tens of thousands of neurons, and brain waves are electrical signals generated by the activity between these neurons. The connections between these neurons are either excitatory signals or inhibited signals. Mental activity is a response to the connections between these neurons, and neurons in the brain receive signals from other neurons, and when the energy accumulation of these signals exceeds a certain value, brain waves are generated.

Brain waves are a method of recording brain activity using electrophysiological indicators, and when the brain is active, the postsynaptic electrical potentials that occur synchronously in a large number of neurons are summed up. It records changes in electrical waves during brain activity and is the overall reflection of the electrophysiological activity of brain nerve cells on the surface of the cerebral cortex or scalp.

Brain waves have different frequencies and are divided into many bands, and different bands represent different thinking activities of the brain. The brain waves of humans of different ages are basically stable, and slowly form a fixed pattern, except in special circumstances.

To put it simply, the approximate age of the person can be determined from the direction of a set of brain waves, or whether the brain waves belong to a human being can also be determined from some specific values.

In this way, a very big question arises, although the brainwaves of the five people have only changed slightly, but they happen to belong to the second situation - whether they belong to the human brainwaves!
