Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 149 The Brain in a Vat
ta~ta~
Crisp switching sound.

Rows of incandescent lamps lit up the top of the lab one after another.

Two researchers in protective suits pushed a meatball soaked in a light green nutrient solution and covered with neural networks through the door.

The "meat ball" comes from the worm found in the Natural Research Institute, which can be regarded as its "brain", but this brain is not prepared for it.

It may sound odd to say this, but the worm is really just a carrier.

It is like a computer or a communication device that can connect minds, without any will of its own.

The key to research is here!
Anyone can use this "computer" as long as they have the password and activation method.

At this time, outside the glass wall on one side of the laboratory, many people had gathered to watch the experiment.

In addition to the original scientific researchers of the institute, there are also senior officials of the Special Affairs Bureau, as well as Yan Jing and Yu Zhen who have just arrived.

Yan Jing originally promised to take Xiao Lian on a night tour down the Fengjiang River tonight.

As a result, in the evening, because of a message from the Bureau of Special Affairs, saying that there was a breakthrough in the experiment, in order to complete the verbal task left by Mr. Lin, Yan Jing could only send Xiaolian back to Shanqing University first. Hit her twice on the head.

Yu Zhen is particularly concerned about this matter because the insect nest is involved in the research institute of Shanqing University.

Of course, as a scholar, it would be false to say that she was not interested in the qualities exhibited by this new swarm.

The laboratory they are currently in is not in the Jiuke air-raid shelter, but in the Fu'an Mountains around Sanqing City. It belongs to one of the recently completed research institutions of the Special Affairs Bureau.

"Our people have been testing the password in recent days, or it is like the radio channel. As long as we can find the frequency band connected to the swarm brood, it is possible to receive the message."

Not long ago, Wu Senyan, who had obtained part of the experimental data, put his arms on his chest, and briefly explained the principle to Yan Jing who just stood beside him.
"Even if it's just a few seconds, as long as we can get valuable information, we have a chance to deduce the location of the swarm brood."

"It seems that your search operation in Gannan Nature Reserve is not going well?"

Yan Jing looked at the researchers who were making various preparations around the worm brain in the vat, and asked straightforwardly.

"That's right, in order to find that insect nest, we have used almost all the methods we can use this week, drones, reconnaissance planes and even satellites to scan accurately, except for the many exotic flowers in Qiannan Nature Reserve. Found nothing but grass."

Speaking of this matter, Wu Senyan's frustration was not concealed. If they could lock the location of the insect nest, they would not expect to make a breakthrough in the experiment here.

You must know that for every extra day wasted, the swarm brood will become stronger, and the price to be paid to solve it will also increase.

However, since the sudden appearance of the insect swarm this time was able to hide a hatching insect nest with a diameter of several hundred meters above Shanqing City, it was enough to prove how strong its dormant ability is.

If it wasn't for Yan Jing's accidental discovery, they don't know how long they would be kept in the dark.

It is not easy to search for it from the Gannan Nature Reserve of tens of thousands of square kilometers in a short period of time.

"According to the experiment report, who do you plan to let try to connect with the worm brain?"

After flipping through a few pages of the experiment report, Yu Zhen couldn't help but frowned and asked.

The premise that those professors were able to use worms to contact the nest of worms was that they had become worms, and the thinking of both parties reached the same frequency band to a certain extent, and if humans wanted to imitate them, even if they succeeded, there was a great possibility Mental problems occur.

However, other means can't achieve this effect at all, and it can only be done by humans.

"Of course, let those guys who can no longer be called human beings, animals are very suitable for this kind of work."

Wu Senyan looked at the researchers next to him and nodded, indicating that the experiment can start.

After a while, a man with shackles on his hands and feet was escorted in by two soldiers on the other side of the laboratory, and behind him was a member of the Secret Service, holding a silk thread connected to his limbs and head. puppets.

"Qian San, the most wanted criminal, the leader of an overseas criminal group, after becoming the Ember Apostle, gathered a large number of villains along the southern Jiangxi border, burned, killed and looted, and used innocent people to practice his skills."

Wu Senyan briefly introduced the situation of the experimental questions, and Yan Jing and Yu Zhen looked at the person inside with cold eyes.

In this world, there are always some guys who don't like to be human and rush to be animals.

Yan Jing and the others have experienced life and death in another world, so they have no mercy for this kind of existence. They just think that it is kindness for them to let them pay back some of the sins they committed in the past before they die.

"Experiment code name: worm thinking."

"The 017th experiment is about to start, the mental connection is completed, the restraint of the experimental body is completed, and the mind connection is ready."

"The experiment begins!"

Following the successive orders, Yan Jing took two steps forward, and his eyes fell on the worm brain that suddenly started to tremble.

The neural network on its surface was pulled out by special equipment, connected to some suction cup-like components, and attached to the criminal's body, which looked like a scene only in a science fiction film.

The emergence of the torch, especially the launch of omnics, is making a leap forward in the world's technology.

Yan Jing saw worms in the Institute of Natural Sciences, and immediately realized that they were imitating the way those professors connected with worms at that time.

The difference is that at that time, the biological energy of the worms was used to maintain the communication, but this time it was the machine of the Special Affairs Bureau that was responsible for the energy supply.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the criminal whose limbs were bound on the experimental table.

After about 2 minutes, the test subject began to tremble non-stop, and there was blood dripping from the nostrils, and it began to mutter some words of unknown meaning, accompanied by intermittent growls.

Faced with this situation, many researchers outside the laboratory were not only not disappointed, but joyful on their faces. Obviously, the experiment has been successful, and only when the two parties complete the connection, will the criminal have such an abnormal reaction.

At the same time, the member of the Secret Service who had followed up immediately walked up to the criminal with a puppet in his hand and began to ask him about the information he had obtained.

Needless to say, that puppet must be some kind of manipulation prop, and it should have the same attribute effect as the shadow manipulation puppet in the Lingling mask.

The whole process didn't last too long, not because it stopped here, but because the criminal couldn't bear the communication with the swarm brood at all, and after just one minute, his mental state began to experience major problems.

What was once a healthy brain has turned into a sluggish mess in a blink of an eye.

"Facts have proved that our idea is correct. As long as we have a specific frequency band, we can forcibly connect to the nest of the insect swarm and obtain information from the other side. As long as we are given some more time, we should be able to find out the exact location of the nest of insects."

The researcher in charge of the "Worm Thinking" project trotted over with the information he had just obtained, and said excitedly,

"The gap between the worm brain and the human brain is not unbreakable, we have grasped the key!"

"Have you found anything?"

Wu Senyan couldn't wait to ask, and the eyes of other people gathered there.

Not only him, but the entire Special Affairs Bureau urgently needs to know any information about the swarm brood.

"After the subject of No. 017 underwent synaesthesia, that is, the connection between the thinking level and the hive of the insect swarm, during the process of waking up, he mentioned the mountains like sharp claws, the scarlet mist that covered the sky, and the darkness that spread all over the place. monster!"

What the researcher said is undoubtedly the key information extracted from the subject's mouth. After all, he said a lot of words at that time, many of which were crazy ravings.

It's just that this information alone obviously cannot meet the demand.

"I just saw the real-time satellite image of Gannan Nature Reserve before I came here. There is no scarlet fog at all, but the appearance of this mountain range can be used as a reference."

Any information about the mother nest of the swarm is worthy of verification. Wu Senyan immediately looked at the vice-captain next to him,
"An Ling, immediately ask someone to take pictures of all the mountains in the Gannan Nature Reserve for pattern comparison. This way, the scope should be greatly reduced."

People from Section Nine were discussing how to narrow down the search targets.

Yu Zhen has a different opinion:
"The scarlet mist is not necessarily a real weather environment. Judging from the recent search of the Qiannan Nature Reserve by the Special Affairs Bureau, I suspect that this so-called 'fog' is most likely a self-protection method for the insect nest."

"No matter what it is, we must speed up the search speed. It seems that a large number of zerg troops have been cultivated in the monster nests all over the darkness. Strange bird attacks and other things must not happen again, otherwise those worms can do nothing. To what extent you know."

Yan Jing was still observing the experimental subject who had completely passed out, shook his head, and reminded in a muffled voice,
"Ordinary people have only one choice to be slaughtered when they encounter Zerg."

"It is estimated that this kind of experiment will have to continue, and the information currently obtained alone can provide limited help."

Now that he has found the opportunity to reverse track the nest of the insect swarm, he naturally cannot give up easily. Yu Zhen took out the notebook he carried with him, and habitually recorded some of the latest information on it. After a pause, he continued,

"I'm going to join the task force organized by the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate suspicious places in Gannan Nature Reserve. Are you interested in joining?"

"I will go to the reserve to have a look, but on the premise of having a clear goal, I have a friend who is very good at activities in the forest, and I will call him when the time comes. If you find anything, you can contact me at any time."

The friend Yan Jing was talking about was naturally Miao Yingshi, and he had specifically mentioned the matter of the swarm to the latter in the past two days.

Miao Yingshi hates any existence that destroys the ecological environment, so he said without hesitation that as long as the location is confirmed, Yan Jing can contact him at any time, and he will definitely come to "help the field" in the battle.

"Maybe what's wrong with you?"

Just as Yu Zhen was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Yan Jing's complexion suddenly changed, and asked involuntarily.

"I have to leave for a while, call on the phone."

Yan Jing who came back to his senses just walked out sullenly.
