Natren died so suddenly that Gao Ang didn't even have time to ask him the specific details of the wizard's spell.
However, he also explained the theoretical principles, which can be considered a breakthrough.
"Your Excellency, do you have any memories?"
"Yes, but our memories seem to be different from humans'. Our memories are stored like data in each individual area. To put it bluntly, we are biological computers."
The emperor spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.
He knew what Gao meant; he simply wanted to see what their synaptic fluctuations looked like, but they didn't have any.
"Alright, then I'll go to Changming Island and study the way the brain works in ordinary people."
To study the patterns of synaptic fluctuations, large-scale experimental data is required.
Hovering above Changming Island, it confidently observed the brainwave patterns of the people below, while simultaneously transmitting this data to Chitose in real time.
His first task was to observe the brain's control over human actions.
For example, which parts of the brain are involved when a person is walking?
The brain's motor system is responsible for generating and controlling movement. The generated movement is transmitted from the brain to the body's motor neurons via nerves, thereby controlling the muscles.
The corticospinal tract transmits motor information from the brain and spinal cord to the trunk and limbs.
The brain transmits motion information to areas such as the eyes and ears to prevent external environmental interference with walking.
A single walking process is not isolated, but rather accomplished by multiple systems working together.
Through observations of multiple individuals, Gao Feng drew some conclusions:
A simple walking instruction can actually be broken down into three steps...
The first is the largest movement, which is taking a step. The origin of this signal is in the primary motor cortex in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for the movement of different parts of the body. Most of them send some kind of signal from here before taking a step.
Once the first step is taken, the movement is supported and regulated by two other areas located in front of the primary motor cortex: the premotor area and the accessory motor area...
After observing Gao's performance all morning, I came to a conclusion:
The human body is also a computer, and each person is a unique computer.
The brain is the CPU, the mouth and ears are the speakers and microphones, the hands and feet are the keyboard and mouse, the eyes are the camera, and the whole body is the hardware, and so on.
Unlike artificial computers, the human body is intelligent.
The general process of an artificial computer is to first give it an instruction, and then it will follow the existing process to control other actions.
In the human body, this instruction is spontaneous or cyclical, and does not necessarily require the brain to give instructions. This is because the brain will also give reactive instructions based on changes in external information, and these instructions are not initiated by the brain.
"I'm familiar with computers, so can magnetic pole signals come in handy again?"
Gao Feng had never attempted anything similar before, and he was unaware of the risks involved.
However, he knew that if a computer that was running normally was suddenly forced to interrupt a certain process by an external force, it would most likely cause the computer to crash, either freezing or restarting...
If it were a human body, it would most likely be brain death?
"This experiment is difficult to conduct!"
Gao Ang, sitting cross-legged high in the sky, looked worried.
He couldn't do it if he were to experiment on a normal person.
But perhaps we could start with people in a vegetative state?
The term "vegetative state" refers to a special human condition that resembles the survival state of a plant.
Aside from retaining some instinctive nerve reflexes and the ability to metabolize matter and energy, people in a vegetative state have completely lost their cognitive abilities and have no spontaneous activity.
However, the brainstem of a person in a vegetative state still retains function. When nutrients are delivered into the body, it can digest and absorb them, and use this energy to maintain the body's metabolism, including breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure. It can also produce some instinctive reflexes to external stimuli, such as coughing, sneezing, and yawning.
Finally, the ability to respond to external stimuli and engage in a series of reflexive activities is essential for high-explosive experiments.
If someone is brain dead, meaning they cannot perform any reflexive activities, it means that their CPU has lost connection with the rest of their body. Even if they could control their brain and replicate a series of actions, they would not be able to perform them.
After leaving Changming Island, Gao Ang arrived at the People's Hospital of Shanghai, and soon he found a very suitable test subject.
Zhang Long suffered from ischemic encephalopathy and a stroke due to persistent low blood pressure caused by a traffic accident, and has been bedridden for a year.
He is an only child with elderly parents and young children to support. His parents are getting old, and the family relies on their meager pensions and his wife's salary to make ends meet.
If we can wake him up, that would be a good deed!
Gao Ang carefully observed Zhang Long's brain and realized what a vegetative state was.
Most of this guy's brain cells were in a semi-dormant state, and the communication channels between these cells and capillaries were blocked by the traffic accident.
The brain suffered a severe impact, causing tissue displacement and cells to be forcibly compressed...
When brain cells lack energy, they can only choose to remain dormant for self-protection, keeping only the cells that can maintain the normal functioning of the body active.
Clearing these congestion points is not difficult for Gao Gao at all, but for today's medical technology, it is an insurmountable challenge.
"Let me conduct an experiment first. If my experiment succeeds, I'll wake you up. If it fails... don't worry, I'll take care of your family for you."
After thinking about it, I realized there seemed to be a problem with that sentence: "I'll make sure your family has enough to eat and wear, don't worry about anything else!"
Having found suitable subjects, Gao Ang decided to begin his experiment.
The first step is to simulate what kind of synaptic fluctuations we want to cause in Zhang Long's brain.
At this time, there was no one else in the ward except Zhang Long, so Gao Ang wanted to do a big movement, like yawning.
Yawning may seem like a simple action, but it involves quite a few organs and body parts.
The brain, cheeks, lungs, and even the hands and limbs.
However, he didn't intend for Zhang Long to perform any complicated movements this time, so the target organs and parts were only the cheeks.
By identifying the brain region that controls facial muscles, Gao Ang retrieved data models related to yawning from a previous database. Based on Zhang Long's existing brain cell movement patterns, he simulated and created a set of synaptic fluctuations suitable for Zhang Long, which is Zhang Long's own brainwave signals.
While observing Changming Island, Gao Ang discovered this phenomenon: the frequency of synaptic fluctuations is different between people.
Just like how the vibration frequencies of each person's internal organs are different, it means that the internal computer language of each person is different.
Fortunately, this differentiation is still within the same system, and Zhang Long, the subject of this experiment, is an individual, so there is no difficulty in differentiating the results.
After simulating the synaptic fluctuations of yawning, Gao Feng controlled the full force field and began to stimulate the changes in Zhang Long's neurons.
This gets longer, that gets shorter, and any blockages here are cleared up. And too much energy can't be used, lest it disrupt the balance of Zhang Long's internal ecosystem.
Fortunately, there weren't many areas that needed to be cleared, and theoretically, this small-scale leakage of vital energy wouldn't cause Zhang Long too much harm.
Compared to the treatment Director Zhang received last time, the amount of vital energy overflow this time was at most one in a million, which is negligible.
After he finished processing the last simulated synaptic wave of the yawn, Gao Ang decisively stopped and began to observe Zhang Long's reaction.
As expected, after simulating the last fluctuation, Zhang Long yawned as he pleased.
The mouth opens, and the facial muscles begin to contract and stretch.
Then Zhang Long shut his mouth again.
He didn't exhale; unlike a normal yawn, Zhang Long simply opened his mouth this time.
Because Gao Ang wanted to save trouble, he did not stimulate the brain regions that affect his lungs and other organs.
"Okay, that's a wrap! Perfect."
After the yawning experiment, Gao Ang tested other actions, such as twitching eyelids and twitching ears. He even made Zhang Long twitch his right leg.
All the movements were perfectly executed, and Gao Feng also became familiar with the basic simulation process of synaptic fluctuations in the process.
He got more and more skilled as the game progressed, and by the end, he couldn't stop playing.
We then found several other patients with different degrees of illness, and they were able to perform these actions one by one.
In this process, he discovered a pattern: the differences in synaptic fluctuations and the differences in vibration frequencies of other internal organs in each person increase or decrease proportionally.
In other words, if A's heart vibration frequency is 1.01 times that of B, then his synaptic vibration frequency is also 1.01 times that of the other.
Of course, the coefficient 1.01 is definitely not accurate, but that's the general idea.
Having finished all that, Gao Ang was quite satisfied and planned to go home.
Before leaving, he specifically checked the blockages in the cerebral blood vessels of Zhang Long and several others, and reactivated the dormant brain cells that had caused the vegetative state.
Although they have been activated, they cannot wake up immediately, as they are cells that have been dormant for a long time and need to gradually adapt.
This adaptation process requires not only their own efforts but also external environmental stimuli.
For example, Zhang Long's wife brought their son to visit him. The little baby lay on his bedside, touching his cheek with his chubby little hands, or calling out "Daddy" or something similar.
With these stimuli, the reactivated brain cells can sense external information through the unblocked neurons and then emit the appropriate vibrations.
With these fluctuations, Zhang Long will be able to gradually return to a normal state.
"Your Majesty, keep an eye on these people. If there are any unforeseen consequences, notify me immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Although Gao Feng was confident that nothing would go wrong, what if something did?
Director Zhang really scared him that time. He didn't understand, and he meant well.
This time, however, he was aware of the risks involved, and he also had some personal motives. The difference in psychological burden between the two situations was enormous.
"By the way, let's pay these companies some compensation."
Regardless of the circumstances, he did use someone else's body, and even if the person didn't know, he still deserves some compensation.
October 24th, Cheung Ying Island, sunny;
I tested Natren's brainwave control method today, and it really worked!
Is this what they mean by "a dying man's words are good"? The question is, why is this guy telling me all this?
He could easily fool me with false information. For a wizard like him, telling me a lie should be easy enough to cover up.
Or perhaps he lived too long, or the memories he inherited were too complex, making him feel weary?
That can't be...
The initial test was successful, and other experiments are planned, but it's difficult to find test subjects.
The initial experiments could be conducted using people in a vegetative state, but subsequent experiments on healthy individuals would be risky.
The difficulty and risk levels of the two are completely different.
People in a vegetative state are relatively easy to treat, as many of their brain cells are already dormant; they can simply be reactivated.
However, normal people have too many active brain cells, making it very difficult to activate them.
This is similar to waking up a few people from a group of sleeping people and taking them out for a walk. It is just as difficult as asking a few people to go out for a walk from a group of people who are chatting. The latter is much more difficult to do without attracting attention or averting suspicion.
Compared to the last experiment, which involved extracting synaptic fluctuations from deep within the human brain's memory, this was relatively mild...
Gao Feng really didn't know what to do about the next experiment.
"Go to the prison and ask for a few death row inmates?"
The thought startled Gao Feng himself.
"Holy crap, how could I have had such a thought?"
Gao Ang quickly underwent a series of psychological diagnoses and treatments, realizing that he was ill.
The most prominent characteristic of this condition is a certain disregard for life.
Or rather, it's a disregard for the lives of ordinary people, bordering on arrogance and a sense of superiority over others.
After some self-examination, Gao Ang discovered that this arrogance had existed since the day he gained his superpowers.
He just suppressed it all along, but deep down he had this subconscious desire.
With the emergence of companies like Dongsheng Health, Dongxing Power, and Dong'an Intelligent, he also developed a sense of superiority as a successful person.
This sense of superiority stands in stark contrast to his impoverished childhood.
Although he was taught from a young age to have sound values, not to be vain, and not to compare his life with others, the idea of standing out from the crowd and bringing honor to one's ancestors was a deep-seated imprint on the bones of everyone in Dongguo, which could not be erased at all.
The reason he suppressed his superpowers was less because he wanted to keep a low profile, and more because he was afraid of dying...
Why are we afraid of death?
Because death would end everything, and one would never be able to enjoy this wonderful world again.
Today, he can say that he has eliminated one of the greatest potential adversaries who posed the greatest threat to him: the wizards of the West.
Wizards are nothing more than ordinary people with individual genetic mutations, and this generation of wizards doesn't have much power; they can only imprison him for a short while.
In fact, he had many ways to deal with Natron that day, even without infrasound, he still had an exceptionally sturdy appearance.
In hindsight, both wizards lost the ability to continue controlling him and subsequently died.
In other words, at least within his comprehension, there are no longer any people or organizations that could threaten him.
So, his ego involuntarily swelled up?
Have they become so arrogant that they can disregard the lives of ordinary people?
Gao Ang rested his chin on his hand, looking somewhat worried.
As an excellent psychoanalyst, he also fell into the same vicious cycle of being unable to heal himself.
He knows where his problem lies and can find many seemingly useful treatment options, but the problem is that he himself gives his own opinions, and he certainly knows the key points of these solutions.
Once you know the key points, self-treatment will be less effective.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Ang packed his bags and decided to take a road trip.
I used this trick to get through the last time I was feeling down.
Gao Feng, determined to go out and have some fun, edited a post on his WeChat Moments using his phone:
"I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, so I'm going on a road trip. Please don't worry if I lose contact with you."
Afterwards, I sent a video to my family, giving them a brief update on the situation and explaining the unfounded "pressure" at work. Then, with Xiaohua and my cat, I embarked on my journey to Northwest China.
For most people, this season would likely be spent heading south.
For example, Assam City, or Deepsea City, etc.
But Gao Ang is no ordinary person. He's not afraid of the cold, and besides, those places are bound to be overcrowded.
Not only are hotel accommodations expensive, but they're also crowded and chaotic, which is quite annoying.
He came out to clear his head, not to upset himself.
Halfway through the journey, Gao Ang realized a problem: I already have such high technology as the Thousand Years Old, why do I still need to drive myself?
Why not create a smart program, let it drive, and you just sit in the driver's seat dealing with cameras or other drivers while playing a game of Honor of Kings?
Even if you don't play King of Glory, watching a live stream and spending some money is a way to relax, isn't it?
Thinking about live streaming, he finally remembered his other identity: a former Douyu streamer...
"Your Majesty, is my live stream room still there?"
"Yes, Douyu has not taken it back."
"That's good. Could you help me change the title? I'll be doing some outdoor activities these next few days."
While letting Qian Sui handle the livestreaming, Gao Ang took advantage of his driving time to come up with a solution for autonomous driving.
To enable this RV to drive autonomously, some of its hardware settings must be modified.
He also needs to keep things like the brakes, accelerator, and steering wheel, just in case someone borrows the car.
He had to completely redesign the vehicle's internal power and control systems, and these systems all needed to be directly connected to the vehicle's computer.
In other words, subsequent operations such as accelerating and turning the steering wheel will be directly controlled by the vehicle's computer, eliminating the need for manual operation.
...
The journey from Shanghai to Qingshan Province is approximately 3,000 kilometers.
At a normal driving speed, it would take approximately 40 hours.
During those 40 hours, Gao Ang chatted with the few viewers in the live stream while modifying his RV and playing chess with Lao Wan.
It allows you to do three things at once, and it's incredibly easy and effortless.
After arriving in Chang'an, he didn't take the highway anymore, but went straight off the highway and onto the national highway.
By this time, he had completed the basic modifications to the RV:
It can achieve true driverless operation, autonomously avoid any obstacles, automatically adjust its speed according to instructions, and even automatically refuel...
Of course, you still have to pay a hefty price when you fill up your gas tank...
Moreover, this vehicle can be considered an explosion-proof vehicle, as both the tires and the body panels are mixed with some carbonaceous particles.
The engines and other components were also modified, using some of the materials "robbed" from Dort Castle.
At 7:00 AM on October 26th, Gao Ang and Xiao Hua arrived in Yushu City, Qingshan Province.
This place should be considered the north, and Yushu at 7 a.m. seemed quite desolate.
Using navigation, Gao Ang learned that they had parked in a place called Nang County, and the hotel they were going to stay at was the best and only "luxury" hotel in the area: GreenTree Inn.
"It's still 13 kilometers to the hotel..."
It's a small county town, and this place, 13 kilometers away, is basically in the wilderness.
There were no villages, no buildings, just mountains and forests.
Along the national highway, Gao Ang let the RV drive itself while he took out his phone and started playing King of Glory.
This game is actually not difficult, or rather, it's very simple.
He doesn't even need to waste his magnetic pole signal; with just his awareness and skill, he can beat those elementary school level players to a pulp.
One kill or two kills are commonplace, and it's not uncommon to see 1v2 or 1v3 situations. If teammates coordinate well, a pentakill rampage is not out of the question.
"Sigh, he really is... invincible!"
He originally wanted to say "lonely as snow," but he had a bit of a phobia of that word, so he changed it to "invincible."
Early in the morning, a bunch of people with nothing better to do started matching.
"Isn't this a weekday? So many of you are still playing games. Don't you guys go to work or school?"
Match successful, entered the game, before Gao Feng could even dominate the battlefield, a bright white light suddenly appeared in front of him.
It's very bright and very shaky!
