Chapter 869 Turning Point and "Eternal Life" (asking for monthly tickets)
Chapter 869 Turning Point and "Eternal Life" (asking for monthly tickets)
Professor Chris’ words gave Gu Ji’s heart a sudden shock.
Such a long half-life is almost equivalent to an eternal source of energy release, which completely overturned his understanding of existing knowledge of physics and chemistry.
"So what effects does this radioactive liquid have on the human body?" Gu Ji continued to ask.
Chris gently stroked the glass cover and slowly explained:
"This radiation can stimulate certain areas of the human brain, causing strange changes in the nervous system. We found that soldiers who were injected with the golden liquid 'produced' by it had significantly improved strength, speed, and reaction ability in a short period of time, but..."
Having said this, he paused deliberately and looked at the experimental table next to him.
"This comes at a price. As time goes by, their spirits will gradually collapse, their brain neurons will begin to discharge disorderly, and they will experience hallucinations, mania and other symptoms, and eventually go completely crazy!"
Gu Ji’s thoughts were racing.
The first thing that came to his mind was the "Paradise" hallucinogen in Abe Shigemoto's hand!
The two are very similar in terms of physical symptoms and side effects.
The "Paradise" hallucinogen is one of the products of the 306th Institute of Jingzhou, also known as the General Science and Technology Equipment Research Institute, and its origin comes from the mysterious sphere research project.
Combined with the US military's "White Coat Operation" and the Ghana virus that appeared in Nepal.
With so many cases distributed all over the world but with similar characteristics, we can basically draw the following conclusions:
This kind of golden special radioactive liquid is common to all mysterious spheres!
"So, that's what made Paul go crazy?"
"Um……"
Faced with this question, Chris obviously hesitated.
He first glanced at Brian and Holt, and seeing that they both nodded, he continued speaking.
original.
The Bentwall base took a completely different path from the Xia country's 306 institute.
Professor Chris is an expert in the field of brain science in the UK. He has conducted experiments on electrical stimulation of monkey brains, trying to control the behavior of animals through electrical signals, but unfortunately there has been little progress.
It wasn't until 1945 that the military obtained mysterious objects from the war zone and established a secret laboratory.
While participating in a research project, he accidentally discovered the special enhancing stimulation of biological brain waves by this golden radiation liquid.
Finally, in 1950, Chris developed an invasive electric shock stimulation device based on this special liquid: by externally puncturing the monkey's cerebral cortex, stimulating specific areas of the brain, he successfully controlled its limb movements, and for the first time verified the feasibility of "brain signals directly controlling external devices."
The success of this experiment allowed Chris to see the possibility of "realizing data interaction by decoding brain signals."
In fact, it’s come to this point.
It was enough to shock Gu Ji.
Because the concept proposed by Chris is exactly the future "BCI", which is one of the basic theories of brain-computer interface!
What he never expected was.
This guy actually made a brain signal data exchanger through modification, which was the two chairs filled with various wires that Gu saw last week.
No wonder such a cold-blooded and cruel officer like Holt would respect Professor Chris so much.
This kind of top academic master, if placed in any country, would probably be worshipped like the emperor!
only.
Suffering from the scientific and technological limitations of this era.
No matter how powerful Chris is, the equipment he developed can never be comparable to modern BCI brain-computer interfaces.
It is impossible to control computers for programming through the human brain, nor is it possible to improve concentration, operate mechanical equipment, etc.
It has only one function:
Bidirectional brain signal transmission.
Translated into plain language, it means thinking reading and writing.
Through this simple "brain signal data exchanger", it is possible to convert human brain thoughts into computer binary code and record it, or write a piece of code into the memory neurons of the cerebral cortex through electrical stimulation.
Gordon!
Gu Ji's heart suddenly tightened after hearing this.
Isn't this the core capability of THEO organization that can win people's hearts and minds: memory reading and writing!
This is another kind of memory "eternal life"!!
But Chris's device certainly cannot achieve the same effect as the THEO organization.
The simplest point:
Computers in this period had not even invented disks yet, so the best storage medium was magnetic tape.
Even a huge magnetic drum can only store 120KB of binary code, which, when converted into human high-level language, is far from enough to accommodate a person's excessive thoughts and memories.
So it can only read and record some fragmented ideas.
However, this approach is too random and requires many repeated experiments, which is troublesome and prone to errors.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.
"Is it because of these experiments that Paul went crazy?"
"You should be well aware of the power of these mysterious objects. We just want to clarify the situation to avoid causing unnecessary danger."
Holt on the side suddenly took over the conversation and said word by word:
"But they refused to talk, and we couldn't use too many interrogation methods on civilians. In the end, we had to use the professor's machine. We thought we could control the dosage and reaction process, but we didn't expect..."
Gu Ji cursed a few times in his heart.
Looking at the way he lowered his head and sighed, if you didn’t know him, you would really think that this guy had a kind heart.
What the fucking bullshit of "avoiding danger"? It sounds so high-sounding, but isn't it just that you saw the mysterious spherical technology in Bakken's hands and wanted to take it for yourself!
Gu Ji asked again.
"And Buchan?"
"Bakken..."
"After we discovered Paul's accident, we activated the backup plan."
As soon as Holt started talking, Chris began to answer.
It turns out that in addition to using tapes to read EEG information, his machine can also use the human brain as a substitute, that is, writing one person's memory into another person's cerebral cortex.
But this technology is still in the experimental stage.
It is dangerous to the writer, that is, the person who is responsible for thinking and memorizing the data.
But by then they had driven Paul crazy and were afraid to gamble on Buchan again.
So I struggled until the end.
Chris, the creator of the machine, volunteered to be the "writer".
Seeing that he was now intact, Gu Ji couldn't help but ask.
"So... the experiment was successful?"
The other party nodded, but shook his head slightly.
"It's half successful. Although I, as the writer, don't have any sequelae, the memories I receive about Bakken are also very limited. Most of them are negative emotions such as anger, regret, and sadness..."
"Then where is he now?" Gu Ji asked knowingly.
"Ran."
"Ran?"
"Yes, when the anthrax powder leaked in the laboratory, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
Speaking of this, Holt's face was filled with uncontrollable anger: "I suspect that the filter device in the ventilation duct was destroyed by this guy!"
Don't say it.
This answer is exactly what Gu Ji thought.
He has always wondered why Bakken suddenly came to the United States, and why a man who is willing to make friends and has a generous personality would establish an extreme terrorist organization like THEO.
Now, he finally found the clues!
This was the painful experience of being arrested and interrogated by the military!
As the saying goes, "An innocent man is guilty unless he possesses a treasure." Bakken did not want to give up the mysterious spherical technology in his hands, which angered a cold-blooded officer like Hott, who used extraordinary military measures.
He watched with his own eyes as his good friend of many years, Paul, was driven crazy.
Naturally, my heart is filled with all kinds of extreme emotions.
This is also why Professor Chris said that he only received negative thoughts from Bakken at that time.
And Gu Ji speculated.
This "brain signal data exchanger" should have many problems and bugs. During the exchange, the reader and the writer are not completely fixed. Part of Professor Chris's thoughts should also be written into Bakken's mind.
Otherwise, how could this guy, an outsider, destroy the laboratory's ventilation duct filtering device without anyone noticing, and take advantage of the chaos to escape from this remote military base in the fog.
and so.
There was no mastermind or accomplice behind the scenes. His previous judgment was wrong.
Everything is Bakken himself!
After experiencing this painful lesson, Buchan's character was completely changed.
He began to hate the military, these secret research institutes, the government, and even the world!
Under such extreme emotions, it is reasonable for Bakken to choose to establish an organization like THEO.
This also explains why, after arriving in the United States, Bakken was able to produce the world's first portable pacemaker in such a short period of time, and why he left behind so many advanced design plans for Volut.
It is because he has some of Professor Chris's thinking knowledge in his mind.
I believe that the core "memory immortality" mechanism of THEO organization also comes from this!
A whole chain of clues is completed.
It was as if Gu Ji had broken through a layer of window paper and completely cleared up everything.
Only then did he finally understand why even with such efforts this round, he still could not change the fact that Bakken and Paul were arrested.
Again:
The wheel of history always moves forward and will not change or stop turning because of anyone!
Baken, the founder of THEO organization that can influence the entire real world, will never easily change his fate just because of a small figure like him who uses clever tricks and does some tricks.
No matter what he does.
In the end, both Bakken and Paul would be captured and tortured by Hott.
Because of the lack of this turning point, there would be no THEO organization later on. This would have a huge impact on the world line!
"Ms. Sahana, I have told you everything I know. Now, is it my turn to ask you?"
Just when Gu Ji fell into deep thought, Professor Chris suddenly turned his head.
He quickly put aside his distracting thoughts.
"of course can."
"This is the note you provided to the military. I am very curious about the words written on it. What does this sentence 'for the continued exploration of the sphere by mankind' mean?"
As an expert professor, Chris is most concerned about clues to the mysterious sphere.
Regarding this point, it was actually a bait deliberately set by Gu Ji.
So he had already thought of an excuse.
"This is a special text that we accidentally recorded on a mysterious object. It was carefully deciphered by many linguists and cryptographers. As for its meaning, we have not yet fully understood it..."
"Special text?"
Brian and Holt asked back at the same time, seeming to be reminded of the hieroglyphic runes on the unidentified triangular object mentioned in Penny's interrogation record.
"professor!"
Just as everyone was struggling with the meaning of these words, a Section 3 staff member hurried over with a list in his hand, which was full of codes and words.
"We just cracked the first code. After repeated combinations, we found that it is very similar to the few words in what you just said!!"
"what?"
Several people exclaimed at the same time.
Chris snatched the paper and wanted to put his eyes directly on it to read.
And Gu Ji also pretended to be shocked.
In fact, he had arranged all of this.
Only by using this sentence can we prove that the 7472 troops he mentioned do indeed possess a large amount of intelligence and clues about the mysterious sphere, and only in this way can we fully mobilize the appetite of these military personnel.
"This is definitely not a coincidence... These mysterious objects must be trying to tell us something. Quick! Keep deciphering! We must decipher all the codes before today!!"
"Everyone speed up!"
Chris excitedly pinched the paper in his hand, as if he had discovered some amazing miracle.
In order to achieve progress, Hott began to urge the laboratory staff.
This is also the effect that Gu Ji most wants to achieve.
Only by letting the military workers help him decipher the binary codes as soon as possible can he find out the truth about Penny's secret.
then.
Next, the work at the base was divided into two groups.
One group is responsible for deciphering the code, while the other is responsible for monitoring the radar and looking for traces of unidentified flying objects.
Gu Ji stayed in the laboratory, exchanging information about the mysterious sphere with Professor Chris and others from time to time, and calling the City Hall from time to time to monitor the progress of haze prevention and control.
Don’t think it’s only the 7th day.
The number of civilian deaths in his lower left corner has exceeded 400!
As we all know, respiratory diseases often peak two to three days later. By the time the actual outbreak occurs, the death toll will increase exponentially.
Gu Ji didn't want to come here with all the hard work, only to fail in the ultimate mission.
So he was particularly concerned about the expansion of the London Hospital.
In order to accommodate enough patients, he specifically found Bryan and asked the Ministry of Defense to send additional medical personnel and build a shelter outside London to transfer the elderly, the weak and the disabled in advance.
A whole day passed.
The time comes on June 12th.
This was two days before the 1952 London smog.
Thanks to Gu Ji's efforts yesterday, theoretically, today's outbreak of patient deaths was not as exaggerated as imagined. The death toll was controlled at just over 600, indicating that his plan was effective.
As usual, he first called to inquire about today's weather data.
Then prepare to check the radar monitoring records.
But just as he was on his way to the radar station, a soldier in black suddenly ran over and grabbed his arm, "Colonel Bryan and Commander Hoth asked you to go over immediately!" (End of this chapter)
