Chapter 64: Sleepy state
"Bai Ning, are you awake?
You obviously didn't go far this time, why did you fall into a coma? ”
Jiang Yingxue's inquiring voice came from his ears, which was very familiar, not like the content in the fantasy world.
Hearing this, Bai Ning wanted to open his eyes with all his might, although his thinking was still clear, but the feeling of weakness and fatigue all over his body made Bai Ning's limbs completely uncontrollable.
If you compare this feeling, it's like the feeling of a ghost pressing a bed.
In the orthodox scientific interpretation, the ghost press is understood to mean that the brain has partially awakened, but the body has not yet awakened from its slumber, so that the brain is unable to control the normal activities of the body.
It is precisely because of this interpretation that ghost press beds are also defined as sleep paralysis.
By a little extension, Bai Ning's state at this time can also be understood as the connection between the body and the brain has not yet been fully coupled after breaking away from the illusion.
In other words, when a person is trapped in the illusion labyrinth, the illusion core will forcibly disconnect the connection between the human brain and the body.
This feeling is like a brain in a jar in a state of detachment, the feedback of the five senses is thoroughly received by the core of the illusion, and the memory interval of the human brain is spied on, so that people can naturally share the illusion, so that people can have different illusions with different doubts in their hearts.
Based on this, there is indeed a certain interactivity in the core of the environment.
This interactivity is the key to solving the labyrinth of illusions.
At this time, let's think about the hint Gogol gave before: Bai Ning's ability to remember the illusion is the key to unlocking the illusion.
This kind of hint can also be expanded slightly, that is, Bai Ning must use his own memory ability and critical thinking ability to reverse some basic functions of the core of the environment.
Then, according to such functional characteristics, try to close the Illusion Core, or directly rely on the understanding of the Illusion Core, and finally succeed.
"The level of illusion is far from being as simple as imagined, and there is an essential difference between experiencing a fantasy for a short time and experiencing a fantasy many times.
Replay the footage for me. ”
Bai Ning turned his head slightly weakly to look at Gogol not far away, and found that he was looking at this side with a smile, as if he was waiting for something expected to happen gradually.
Gogol has been trapped in the Illusion more times than anyone else, and he has led a large number of explorers through the Illusion Realm, knowing how different groups of people behave as a whole after experiencing the Illusion.
Bai Ning's ability to memorize the content of the illusion was certainly not unique, Gogol knew the development trend of the subsequent expedition, he was just waiting for a result that he wanted to wait for.
Putting aside speculation about Gogol's behavior, Bai Ning focused all his attention on the previous expedition video.
There was nothing unusual about the process, and Bai Ning did arrive at the second corner, and he also explored the subsequent area to a certain extent.
However, judging from the content in the video, the expressions of the five people at that time were a little unnatural, but they couldn't see much suspicion, the reason why they pulled the safety rope was mainly because Bai Ning did not give safety feedback at the specified time.
This phenomenon indicates that Bai Ning had entered the illusion before reaching the second corner, which seems to be related to Bai Ning's attempt to connect with the core of the illusion.
Just as Bai Ning imagined, when the human body fell into the labyrinth of illusions, the five senses of the brain and body were completely separated.
The human nervous system can still receive information from the five senses, but the human consciousness is no longer able to process this information on its own.
It's as if the illusion core separates Bai Ning's consciousness and stores it in a carefully created virtual illusion, and the illusion core can also independently mobilize the memory information in the human brain in order to create a more realistic virtual illusion.
The nervous system, the consciousness, the soul, these previously assumed contents, at this time, through the verification of the core of the illusion, it seems that the three of them do coexist with each other and are independent of each other.
In the face of this ancient technology full of incredible attributes, Bai Ning also had more reverie for the splendid Atlantean civilization.
In the five civilizations of mankind, the concept of gods has appeared many times, and now it seems that the concept of gods is likely to be another level of scientific concepts, independent concepts that are beyond the current scientific system.
The current scientific civilization of mankind is only limited to the material level, although we know the relationship between matter and energy, and also list the mass-energy equation, but the study of energy states is still blank.
If matter is an aggregation of energy, then is the tiniest particle that makes up matter, a particle structure even smaller than quarks, an aggregated energy field?
If the soul is just another level of energy aggregation, and consciousness is just a central belt connecting the physical body and the special energy field, perhaps the illusion core is easy to understand the manipulation of the consciousness level.
It's just a process of information exchange based on a new energy field.
"What happened to the other four personnel, and can they be awakened based on their previous experience?"
After watching the video materials, Bai Ning turned around and asked about the situation of the four control groups, but saw Jiang Yingxue's expression with a little silence.
"Everything they can do has been done, but they have no intention of waking up.
Judging from their overall appearance, they appear to be in a coma, not in a deep sleep. ”
Jiang Yingxue really felt very embarrassed, in the face of this strange illusion maze, the successful experience of the past was like useless waste paper.
If it is just because of the length of time spent in the Illusion Labyrinth, different people will have different coma characteristics, which means that they simply cannot fully understand the Illusion Labyrinth.
Variability is perhaps the most terrifying part of this environmental labyrinth.
This answer also made Bai Ning very entangled, originally thought that he could quickly crack the illusion maze through a certain amount of experience, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.
"It's man-made.
The content of the fantasy maze is indeed constantly changing, and the types of illusions in it are also showing different despair attributes.
Even if it is really a supernatural thing, it will conform to certain natural laws, and it cannot be an infinitely random thing, otherwise it would have been made into a weapon long ago. ”
After a little reassurance, Bai Ning hurriedly came to the vicinity of the four unconscious people, and it could be seen from their dilated pupils like dead fish eyes that they were indeed in a coma.
This seems very strange, obviously in the previous illusion, their panicked mood swings can still be shared, how can they be in a coma?
Moreover, the video just now also shows that the four outlaws have been following behind Bai Ning normally and have not fainted directly.
Could it be that the Illusion Core can continue to take over the body in a coma of the human brain, allowing people to move freely in real space?
The body can move in real space, and the consciousness can change at will in the labyrinth of illusions, which is more like a VR game of simulated state.
By a slight analogy, Environmental Labyrinth is not only a VR game that can entertain the mind, but can even be used to exercise the body subconsciously.
This kind of design concept of VR games exists in real life, but it has not yet achieved brain-computer interface and autonomously takes over the various reactions of the body.
According to the current way of thinking to understand the illusion maze, it seems that the main body of the illusion content will be set according to the user's subjective choice, and the overall background details will be supplemented by the memory content in the user's mind.
Based on this assumption, once trapped in the illusion maze and not knowing the overall mechanism of it, the more memories and cranky content, the more real the subsequent fantasy content will be.
And as the trapped person gradually falls into the labyrinth of illusions, his subjective willingness to break through the illusion will make his speculative and willingness to prove or not reach the strongest.
Under this extreme demand for proof, not only will the content of the fantasy become more and more realistic, but the details will also become more and more difficult to detect the inconsistencies.
In this way, on the one hand, there are more and more elaborate simulation scenes, and on the other hand, there are more and more suspicious trapped people, and in the midst of this almost endless torment, it is only a matter of time before they go crazy.
Once the trapped person begins to go to extremes, then the way of proving the no-will begin to develop viciously in the direction of homicide and suicide.
This is what Gogol called the extreme situation: many trapped people will start to slaughter their peers indiscriminately, even by suicide, once they go berserk in the real world.
It's just a simple self-interaction system, but because of the infinite self-speculation, it has become a weapon for killing.
It is they themselves who drive the trapped people crazy, and if they want to accelerate the madness of the trapped people, they only need to complicate simple questions, repeat complex problems, and neutralize the uniqueness of answers.
After all, human beings are meaning animals, and it is normal for them to break down to madness under a system of incomprehensible rules, in an almost infinite cycle of fighting each other.
What's more, this illusion core can also enable interaction between trapped people, sharing the illusions they have generated separately, which makes the otherwise incomprehensible rules even more difficult to understand.
In addition, human beings either use the label of gods and ghosts to understand the unknown and things with ancient mysteries, or they will mystify them, infinitely overestimating the difficulty of analyzing this unknown system.
Fear of difficulties can lead to a complete loss of confidence in solving problems, which is also the beginning of a rapid collapse.
"Let them lie quietly for a while, they are likely to have a nervous breakdown and fall into a coma, which is a self-protection mechanism of the brain.
In this situation, they can only wait for them to wake up on their own. ”
These four outlaws are likely to fall into a coma due to brain overload, and forcibly waking them up is likely to put them in a negative state of malignant neurasthenia.
