Fifty-two years have passed quickly since the Alliance fleet set off again... During this period, everything was progressing steadily, no special events occurred, and no planet with intelligent life was encountered.
A top-level secret experiment appeared in the illusory experiment of the Shanhai. Its confidentiality level was designated as S-level, and all laboratory members signed a confidentiality agreement.
A very strange electronic sound came to my ears, and the source of the sound seemed to be in distant outer space.
"The thought acceleration experiment is ready, the current number of people in the experiment: 1."
"Verifying identity, debugging parameters...please wait..."
"Experiment countdown...starts at 3, 2, 1...consciousness uploading, successful...memory reading, successful..."
"Thinking is accelerating... 2x speed..."
"3x speed, success!"
Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He felt that his head had become very strange. For some reason, there was always a strange illusion that his mind and body were out of control, unable to move flexibly.
No, it's not an illusion, but a real feeling.
He is personally completing a human experiment on accelerated thinking. This kind of experiment is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may run the risk of becoming insane or even losing your self-awareness. Fortunately, the content of this experiment was designed by him himself, so it was somewhat controllable.
A not very difficult definite integral math problem appeared in front of him. Zhang Yuan needed to concentrate before he could solve it.
"How do you feel now?"
"Can you concentrate enough?"
A vague sound came from the outside world, but in Zhang Yuan's ears, the sound was discontinuous and discontinuous.
The main reason is because his thinking has been accelerated to three times the speed of ordinary people, which is equivalent to slowing down the speed of the outside world to one-third.
"It has been solved. The answer to the definite integral is..."
Zhang Yuan wanted to speak, but found that his throat was a little out of control, and his voice became so urgent and fast that outsiders could not hear what he was saying. In this virtual world, there are a series of simulation devices, and his body movements are similar to those in reality.
He raised an arm and wanted to make some gestures, but at this moment, he almost threw the arm in his face.
After finally calming down, I found that I couldn't control my fingers flexibly.
At three times the thinking speed of ordinary people, everything seemed to him too slow, causing some problems with muscle control.
And these movements seem really awkward to other people, like a person with epilepsy, twisting and turning.
Zhang Yuan simply lay still and sighed in his heart: "This is only three times the speed of thinking. The body's actions can no longer keep up with the thinking... The entire body's control module must be rewritten, otherwise there will be no legal use."
"It's hard to imagine what it would be like to think at a speed of one hundred thousand or even a million times... Thinking and movement must undergo a series of cuts."
"If the quality of thinking can be further improved in the future, then mankind will indeed undergo earth-shaking changes... This is a level five civilization!"
After a period of time, Zhang Yuan gradually adapted to the current state and said the first sentence unclearly: "I feel now... good... I can concentrate... I can barely control my body, very Barely...movement module&...%??!"
"It is recommended to use written means...to communicate."
"Please adjust your thinking speed to 3.5 times."
"It's clear, it's clear." After a long time, a slow response came from the outside world.
For outside staff, their response was the first time, but for Zhang Yuan, it was still too slow.
In the laboratory, Professor Yamamoto Ichiro, who was in charge of this work, looked serious and said: "Check whether Professor Zhang's physiological indicators are normal..."
Other staff members quickly said: "No major problems have been found so far. However, the speed of brain waves has reached the experimental expectations. If it exceeds the limit, there may be risks..."
"Now start trying to think at 3.5 times the speed. Once any abnormality occurs, stop the experiment immediately!"
"clear!"
The electronic sound came again: [Thinking acceleration restarts, 3.1...3.2...3.3...3.5 times speed, completed. ]
As the speed of thinking increased again, Zhang Yuan felt his head was a little dizzy. He could even feel all kinds of chaotic thoughts coming one after another, like endless waves, one after another.
Yamamoto Ichiro saw the data indicators on the screen, with worry on his face. He looked at a professor nearby again, but still suppressed his various thoughts.
The heartbeat frequency exceeds 200 beats per minute, which is a risk!
A calculus math problem appeared in front of Zhang Yuan's eyes, which was almost as difficult as the previous one. You need to concentrate and think before you can solve this problem.
"No...it's hard to decipher."
"I don't understand what it means."
All the words seemed to be beating, like tadpoles, forming a strange vortex. Now he was like a patient with a high fever, unable to concentrate and think. It was a bit difficult to understand what the question meant, and his breathing rate began to increase significantly.
The heart beats faster and faster!
drop--
A security alert has gone off in the lab!
"The blood pressure is rising and there is a risk of cerebral hemorrhage! The heart rate exceeds the safe limit!"
"The thinking volatility rate is 413.5, and there is a risk of collapse! Professor..."
"Stop the experiment!"
Yamamoto Ichiro did not dare to delay and quickly issued the order.
[The experiment has been stopped, and the thinking recovery program has been started...3.5...3.4...3.3...]
[Restored to normal speed. ]
Even so, the tinnitus still echoed in my mind one after another, and the brain's speed began to gradually slow down. But Zhang Yuan still couldn't hold on and rushed over.
…
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by concerned colleagues.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Don't say anything. Let's conduct a comprehensive examination first." A medical expert patted his chest and exhaled.
After checking over and over with various instruments, the chief doctor finally announced that there was no big problem.
"It's basically OK, the crisis is over."
"How many hours have I been unconscious?" Zhang Yuan rubbed his ears. The strong tinnitus began to disappear, which meant that he himself had begun to return to normal.
An older professor said with a smile: "Because the experiment was interrupted in time, you must have been unconscious for more than 3 hours. This time you have set a record, 3 times the thinking speed, and can still concentrate on thinking, which is close to The limit of normal people!"
"Although the body's athletic ability is not yet qualified. There is nothing we can do about it."
Next, the staff began to report the experimental data this time. With the normal human brain, coupled with the assistance of the auxiliary brain, the thinking speed reaching 2-3 times is basically the limit, and there is no way to go faster.
The original human body has a certain degree of self-regulation ability, but at a higher speed of thinking, it begins to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.
