Paranormal incident investigation notes

That's a wonderful feeling. Lu Ming had never experienced this feeling before.

Every thought, every thought, every idea in his mind, including every information received by touch, vision, taste, hearing, etc., Lu Ming could clearly realize that it came from himself, not from him. outside world.

After all, external stimuli are actually perceived by consciousness by activating the corresponding receptors and nerves of the human body. From this perspective, every subtle activity in the mind comes from oneself, not the outside world.

The famous "brain in a vat" conjecture was proposed based on this.

But now, Lu Ming could clearly feel that the feeling he was feeling at this moment did not come from himself.

It comes from outside.

A certain feeling from the outside world suddenly appeared in my mind through some mysterious and unknown way.

With the case of Chief Tan in front of him, Lu Ming was not so shocked that he lost his concentration when he felt this way. At this moment, he could still barely control his mind, and he could allocate his energy to appreciate the "feeling" in detail.

As Section Chief Tan said, he felt various emotions such as anger, hatred, betrayal, being deceived, and disgust, as well as... impatience and rejection.

This is a wonderful process that cannot be described in words. Lu Ming did feel these emotions, but how exactly he felt them, he couldn't tell.

The feeling only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. It seems that Lou Shen took the initiative to cut off the communication. Also, it should no longer respond to people trying to contact you.

After calming down, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

He saw the eager faces of the two brain science experts.

"Chief Lu, what did you feel? How did you feel it? You..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, temporarily stopping their questioning, and then looked at Zhang Dingshan: "I feel it too. The content is similar to that of Chief Tan. The feeling is very strange, and I can't describe it in detail. Hmm... Lou Shen seems to be right. Our attempts to contact were impatient. I sensed that it had decided it would no longer respond to us."

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly.

As the situation progresses now, if Chief Tan’s so-called telepathy was still somewhat doubtful and could not be completely believed even with the endorsement of two brain scientists, then now, with Lu Ming’s personal experience, there are three pieces of evidence. At the same time, then this matter is worthy of acceptance.

"It seems that our attempt has failed. Lou Shen is unwilling to contact us, let alone start negotiations."

"really."

He Wei felt a little regretful in her heart, but she also knew that after facing such a whimsical suggestion from Lu Ming, she could actually gain something after verifying it. It not only confirmed the existence of Lou Shen as an intelligent body, but also confirmed that Lou Shen has the ability to The ability of "telepathy" is enough.

The members of the second action team did not have high hopes at the beginning to solve the problem of Lou Shen through negotiation or temporarily suppress it. There is nothing to regret about the final failure at this moment.

Lu Ming looked at the two brain science experts: "Now, has the existence of telepathy been basically confirmed?"

Professor Sui nodded: "Even if it is not completely confirmed, it is 90% certain."

"Okay. So, theoretically..."

"Lu Ming."

Zhang Dingshan called Lu Ming's name to stop his questioning, and then said: "Let's leave here first."

Lu Ming was startled, and then realized that his group was still in danger at this moment. This is not the place to analyze and discuss issues in detail.

Professor Sui and the middle-aged female brain scientist immediately walked to Zhang Dingshan and begged him.

"Chief Zhang, let us two try it, okay? Just try it! Chief Zhang, you don't understand the significance of this matter. It is very likely to bring great help to our human brain research, which is very important. ! May save tens of thousands of lives!”

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no. And...we also have to seal the equipment you two brought. You can't take away the data inside. Also, you two need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Everything that happened here today, Everything must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked. Otherwise, the two of you will be tried by a military court."

"What?"

Professor Sui was startled, and his expression immediately turned pale. The middle-aged female professor shouted in disbelief: "How could you do this? You are committing a crime, you know! You are committing a crime against the entire human world and the entire human medicine!"

Zhang Dingshan looked at Gao Chunhua. Gao Chunhua and several security guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the two professors, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Let's get out of here first."

The two professors still refused to calm down. After struggling hard, they roared and protested to Zhang Dingshan. Zhang Dingshan was silent all the way.

Finally, they arrived at the temporary headquarters. After the two professors calmed down a bit, they were brought back into the conference room.

"I will report the suspected 'telepathy' phenomenon here in Binhai Building to my superiors. Whether to conduct follow-up research on this matter, when, and at what timing will depend on the decision of my superiors. I can assure you both. What’s more, once the superiors start research, I will recommend the two of them. With their qualifications and today’s experience, they are very likely to be selected for the research team.”

The two professors, who still had angry looks on their faces, instantly changed their expressions under Zhang Dingshan's words.

In any case, this is much better than getting nothing.

"If there's no problem, sign this confidentiality agreement."

The two of them no longer hesitated, immediately picked up the pen and signed their names and pressed their fingerprints.

From now on, the behavior of the two people will be bound by this agreement. If you do something that violates the agreement and leaks secrets, the punishment will come immediately.

"Okay, let's start the discussion now. I hope you two can use your wisdom to cooperate with us."

"no problem."

Two professors, a man and a woman, expressed their opinions one after another.

Lu Ming opened his mouth and asked the question that he had not asked before.

"I want to know, from a theoretical point of view, what is the possibility of realizing 'telepathy'? In other words, what method is most likely to be used by the being in the Marina Building to achieve telepathy? "

This is important.

The ability to achieve telepathy is one of the only things we know about Lou Shen so far. However, by tracing back through this clue, it is possible to get a glimpse of more secrets of the Tower God.

The two professors fell into thinking. After a long time, the male professor said: "From the perspective of the brain structure and operating mechanism, and from our existing understanding of the brain, in order to achieve telepathy, it is necessary to achieve stimulation of the brain nerves through a certain mechanism, causing it to Produce corresponding synapses.”

The female professor said: "The essence of memory is the synapse of nerve cells. You should know this."

New synapses are constantly forming on nerve cells, and old synapses are constantly disappearing. When animals are stimulated by the outside world, the number of synapses formed and lost will suddenly increase. Research shows that some synapses last only a few hours, while others persist for a long time and may become fixed to form new neural circuits.

And fixed, new neural circuits mean long-term or permanent memory.

Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he knew.

The male professor continued: "To be honest, our current research on the specific formation mechanism of memory is not very in-depth. The brain contains too many mysteries, and we still only understand a small part. Regarding how to stimulate it from the outside We have no idea about the dendrites and axons of nerve cells for the time being. But if we analyze it from a physical point of view, it is intangible and can directly act on the nerve cells of the brain. Those are the only options, right? Electromagnetic waves? Radiation? Some kind of field force? Neutrinos? Or something dark matter?"

The female professor added: "What you are feeling is emotion, not substantive information. This means that what is stimulated is probably the amygdala and hippocampus. These two structures are responsible for processing emotions."

He Wei subconsciously said: "Amygdala?"

The mechanism by which photoxins poison humans is also achieved through the amygdala.

Lu Ming immediately said: "Is it possible that the telepathy is achieved by some kind of chemical substance? Like, like the pheromones secreted by ants? Well, that is, the building god secretes some kind of chemical substance. This chemical substance Entering the human body, stimulating the amygdala and hippocampus, making people feel certain emotions, in order to achieve telepathy?"

The male professor nodded slowly while thinking: "This possibility also exists. However, you and Chief Tan both said that you clearly felt that this 'information' came from the outside, not from the body. If it is someone If a chemical substance stimulates the amygdala and hippocampus, according to common sense, this should not be the case. But who knows? There is so much we don’t know. Maybe this chemical substance is like this."

Zhang Dingshan looked at He Wei, Lu Ming and Lu Qingliang. After finding that all three of them were fine, he stood up and stretched out his hands to the two professors: "Okay, let's do this for now. I'm sorry to bother you two." . Later, security guards will take you back."

It was almost daybreak after a long night of work. The two reluctantly stood up, shook hands with Zhang Dingshan and others, and then left here step by step.

Before leaving, Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked Zhang Dingshan to inform them immediately as soon as there was any progress.

After dismissing the two people, Zhang Dingshan returned to the conference room again.

"The negotiation communication strategy failed. Now, it's time to vote again on whether to move forward to the next step."

This time, Lu Ming raised his hand without hesitation. He Wei and Lu Qingliang also raised their hands in agreement.

"Okay, then report to Director Li."
