Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 581: Spiritual Power Source

In fact, they learned the news when Ning Chen just woke up, and wanted to go in and reminisce with Ning Chen as soon as possible, but when they thought of Song Xiyun's matter, they couldn't help but hesitate.

They knew in their hearts that Ning Chen would definitely ask them about Song Xiyun after meeting them, but faced with this heavy topic, they could not find an answer that would satisfy Ning Chen.

But they had to face this matter sooner or later. After hesitating outside the door for a while, they walked in and prepared to explain the issue to Ning Chen frankly.

After looking at the two people for a while, Ning Chen finally successfully recognized the identities of Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao.

"If I'm not mistaken... you two should be Teacher Xu and Manager Lu, right? I can't believe that after so long, you have become like this. But compared to normal situations, you two are not particularly aged..."

After being frozen for decades, Ning Chen, who has never liked chatting, really wants to find someone to have a good chat with. After all, humans are naturally social creatures, and even the most silent people have their own desire to express themselves.

Seeing that Ning Chen was in a surprisingly good mood, Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao felt even more guilty. Even though they had tried their best, they still couldn't make Song Xiyun wake up in good health.

Feeling that Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao's emotions were a little strange, Ning Chen said with some doubt:
"What... Did I see it wrong? You are not the two people I mentioned? What happened in these years?"

After a while of silence, Xu Zhou finally spoke first:
"No, Mr. Ning, you are not wrong. I am indeed Xu Zhou, and this is indeed Manager Lu Minghao. We are all very happy that you woke up. How is your body recovering now? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Hearing Xu Zhou's familiar voice, Ning Chen confirmed that the person in front of him was Xu Zhou, and he started talking even more.

"Haha, I thought I had recognized the wrong person. I feel pretty good now. Although my brain condition is not as good as before, it is much better than before the cryonics. And I have a feeling that my brain condition is still getting better. Maybe I can really recover to its peak state. How did you cure me? And where is Song Xiyun? Why didn't she come to see me? Is she embarrassed to show up?"

In Ning Chen's heart, he had already determined that Song Xiyun must have not shown up because he was worried that he would dislike Song Xiyun's physical aging, and he had not thought of any other possibilities.

But after seeing the expressions of Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao, Ning Chen gradually realized something and knew that things might not be as simple as he imagined.

"Teacher Xu, Manager Lu... Nothing must have happened to Song Xiyun in these years, right? Whatever happened, please tell me immediately. I will be mentally prepared."

After all, so many years have passed. In the long river of time, anything can happen. If Song Xiyun really had something unexpected happen to her during these years, or even left this world before him, Ning Chen would eventually have to accept such a result.

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Xu Zhou finally found a starting point for the topic and was ready to explain to Ning Chen what had happened during this period.

"Well... Teacher Ning, the process of this matter is a bit complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. But I can tell you first that although Teacher Song's current situation is not ideal, it is not to the point where it cannot be saved..."

After hearing what Xu Zhou said, Ning Chen's worry was relieved a little, but he was still very eager to know about Song Xiyun.

"No matter what happened, please tell me everything. Since Song Xiyun's condition can still be saved, I will definitely do my best to find a way to rescue her."

"It's like this, Teacher Ning. After you were cryopreserved, Teacher Song found a way to heal you. That is to use Teacher Ning's special power to predict future risks. This power is directly related to the spiritual energy in Song Xiyun's brain. But in order to reach the level of healing you, we need to continue to study this project for a long time, and only by freezing Song Xiyun's body can we ensure the freshness of these spiritual energy sources..."

After Xu Zhou's explanation, Ning Chen gradually understood the truth behind this matter, and his expression kept changing.

After Ning Chen just woke up, he naively thought that it was because of the continuous development of this era that the technology to successfully treat himself was gradually developed.

But in fact, all of this is still led by Song Xiyun. Whether it is the method of treating herself or the determination to research this project, everything is inseparable from Song Xiyun's efforts.

If it weren't for Song Xiyun, Ning Chen would most likely still be frozen, and there would be no chance of being successfully cured.

"After the deadline set by Teacher Song, we performed a transfer operation on both of you. The operation was generally successful, but after the spiritual energy was extracted from Teacher Song's brain, Teacher Song had a very strong abnormal reaction. This reaction could have endangered Teacher Song's life, and we did not find a corresponding treatment method immediately, so we could only freeze Teacher Song's body again immediately..."

After hearing the whole story, Ning Chen felt a little at a loss for a moment. The true situation of this matter had far exceeded Ning Chen's expectations.

Originally, Ning Chen thought that if Song Xiyun really passed away before him due to some other accident, Ning Chen might eventually accept it. After all, he had been sleeping for so many years, and many things were beyond Ning Chen's control.

But the truth is, Song Xiyun chose to sacrifice herself in order to make Ning Chen recover, which is a result that Ning Chen could never accept.

If Song Xiyun really lost her life because of this, then this feeling of guilt would always linger in Ning Chen's heart and would never go away for the rest of his life.

After a while of pain, Ning Chen said in a trembling voice:

"Teacher Xu, Manager Lu, please take me to see Song Xiyun now."

"Okay, Mr. Ning, please follow me."

Under the guidance of Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao, Ning Chen kept approaching the place where Song Xiyun's body was frozen.

Along the way, Ning Chen was also observing the surrounding environment. After decades, the various equipment of the Blue Star Civilization had indeed been improved to varying degrees, but the extent of the improvement was far less obvious than Ning Chen expected. Even some equipment that Ning Chen had never seen before, after analyzing these equipment, Ning Chen was able to understand their operating principles.

This situation shows that in the past few decades, the Blue Star civilization may not have made any major research breakthroughs in basic theories, and most of the research has been based on these basic theories.

Many of these basic theories come from Ning Chen’s research, which means that the development of Blue Star civilization over the years is mainly based on Ning Chen’s research results.

But when Ning Chen calmed down and thought about it, he realized that this situation was actually very normal. The rapid outburst of scientific and technological achievements decades ago was contrary to common sense.

Normally speaking, it is unlikely for a civilization to make many breakthrough research results in a short period of time. The current technological development speed of Blue Star civilization is the normal technological development speed.

Finally, Ning Chen and others arrived at the place where Song Xiyun's body was frozen. After observing Song Xiyun's frozen body through the instrument screen, Ning Chen was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao also remained silent. In such an occasion, it was meaningless to say anything. It would be better to remain silent and let Ning Chen sort out his emotions.

After a long while, Ning Chen slowly said:
"When Song Xiyun's body was cryopreserved for the second time, were all her vital signs still normal?"

"Well, it's still normal. But if these symptoms continue, it might be dangerous for her. That's why we decided to freeze Song Xiyun's body for the second time. This may not be the best choice, but it should be the safest choice under the circumstances at the time."

"Yes, this decision is indeed correct. If it were me, I would definitely make the same decision at the time."

According to Ning Chen's reconstruction of the situation at that time, if Song Xiyun continued in this state for another ten minutes, perhaps her vital signs would become unstable.

After calming down, Ning Chen no longer felt overly painful. What Ning Chen needed to do most now was to find a way to cure Song Xiyun.

Fortunately, Song Xiyun will not be in any risk for the time being. Even though the damage to the human body caused by secondary freezing will be a little more serious, it is still within a relatively controllable range.

As long as Song Xiyun can remain in this state for the time being, while Ning Chen tries to find a solution to this problem, there will definitely be hope for Song Xiyun to recover.

What makes Ning Chen feel even more hopeful is the current state of his brain.

After waking up, Ning Chen's feeling has been getting better and better. This feeling should be directly related to the powerful source of mental power provided by Song Xiyun.

This made Ning Chen realize that he not only had hope of recovering to his former peak state, but he might even be able to surpass his peak state.

If Ning Chen can really make his brain power stronger, then it is indeed very likely that he can restore Song Xiyun to normal.

Then, Ning Chen completely put aside his sadness and prepared to continue this research.

Ning Chen's attitude also reduced a lot of negative emotions accumulated in Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao's hearts. As long as Ning Chen was there, they had a backbone and firmly believed that they could make Song Xiyun recover smoothly.

Ning Chen first spent some time reading various research data on the source of mental power over the years. After learning about the source of mental power in detail, Ning Chen also had a deeper understanding of this technology.

It has to be admitted that the research on the source of spiritual power in recent years is indeed a very important research result of this era. Although this research has not attracted the attention of the mainstream scientific community and has even been sneering at by many world-class scientists, compared to those mainstream scientific research results, Ning Chen feels that this is a more important research result.

However, after Song Xiyun performed the first human body freezing, the progress of this research slowed down a lot. Fortunately, Song Xiyun had already made detailed plans for the progress of this research, which ensured that the research progress did not fall below expectations.

After making a preliminary assessment of his research speed, Ning Chen was very confident that he could make another significant leap in the progress of this research within a short period of time.

"Song Xiyun... I will definitely make sure you wake up safely. I will never waste your precious spiritual energy. This is my official promise to you!"

…………

In the following period of time, Ning Chen officially started this research with the help of others.

Xu Zhou and Lu Minghao continued to help Ning Chen carry out this research as assistants, which represented the strength of Xingchen Technology and Shengzhou University, all of whom were involved.

Of course, the power of others can only provide Ning Chen with some convenient conditions at most. The core of all this still depends on whether Ning Chen can find the correct research direction of this project and find the fundamental reason why Song Xiyun has become like this.

Under Ning Chen's continuous research, the research on the source of mental power has indeed made some new progress.

It turns out that the essence of this spiritual power source is actually a high-dimensional quantum energy. Although this quantum energy can be observed in three-dimensional space, it actually has energy forms in higher dimensions.

Before this, the project team had never observed their energy form in high-dimensional space. After all, this high-dimensional energy form cannot be directly observed in three-dimensional space. Only by really thinking in this direction can we discover this very hidden detail.
