Chapter 272 Incredible Experiment

Zhao Meng doesn’t know much about the Super Large Particle Collider, a top scientific research equipment that is far away from ordinary people.

  I only occasionally came across information about the collider on some short videos.

Have also heard some rumors about collider.

For example, the last few elements in the periodic table were discovered through collider.

 The internal structure of atoms is also produced by collider collisions, and there are even some unidentified 'attosecond' level black holes that will appear in the collision process.

  Unfortunately, he only quickly crossed over these incomprehensible things.

What really caught Zhao Meng's attention was the simple view of money from ordinary people, and that was the price of turning on the Super Large Particle Collider once.

“I remember every time it was turned on, from preparation to experiment to final maintenance, the cost of an experiment was around hundreds of millions of dollars.”

 Thinking about the role of the collider, Zhao Meng felt a little strange at this price.

What you get after spending so much money is actually a product that is difficult for humans to see and difficult to apply to human reality for a while.

 “Perhaps this is human beings’ curiosity about the nature of the world!”

 Memories of his previous life flashed through Zhao Meng’s mind.

Now that he looked at the large particle collider, which was dozens of stories high, he suddenly understood why the researchers chose the mice in this way during the previous simulation.

Each experiment costs so much money and cannot be carefully selected.

“So these humans are going to put me in a large collider?”

“So what are these humans doing putting me in a collider?”

 Watching himself being pushed under the collider little by little, Zhao Meng felt a little confused in his heart.

 Most of the videos about collider that he watched in his previous life were about the collision of atoms and electron-level particles.

 There is no practical significance in using particles to collide with macroscopic objects.

“So these humans have discovered phenomena that affect the macroscopic world in previous collision experiments.”

The box Zhao Meng was in was lifted up by a staff member wearing protective clothing, and they took a makeshift elevator to raise it little by little.

 Then we passed through a part of the corridor bridge and arrived at the center of the collider. He was placed into a metal cylinder with classified graduations.

 As the box closed, the surroundings fell into darkness.

There was another slight vibration, and Zhao Meng felt that he was placed in a certain position.

Immediately afterwards, the roar of machines came from the surroundings, and there was the mechanical sound of the covered bridge being taken away.

There was also the noise of the tower moving, and soon these sounds were covered up by the louder pushing sound.

Zhao Meng could imagine that at this time, the two separate sections of the shield-like structure outside were slowly closing.

There was a bang, followed by a series of snapping sounds of locking devices,

 The metal barrel suddenly became quiet, all the sounds disappeared, and he was the only one who was extremely quiet.

 Although you know that you are in a simulation, even if you die next, you can immediately start a new simulation again.

But at this moment, Zhao Meng, faced with this silence, could not help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart.

 “It’s so cold!”

 For some reason, the surroundings suddenly became colder, and the temperature began to drop rapidly.

 Listening carefully, it seemed that there was water flowing rapidly around, and soon the sound of water flow disappeared and it became quiet again.

 “Let’s start quickly, what are these humans preparing for?”

 Zhao Meng was waiting, but the collision experiment still had not started.

 “Hey! Bright light!”

Just when Zhao Meng was waiting impatiently, an indescribable light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The light was so dazzling that it swallowed him up in a short time,

Zhao Meng could feel a sharp pain coming from his body, and soon he could no longer feel the existence of his body.

 But the strange thing is that he can still see the light, and his consciousness is still clear.

“My body has been damaged, but why can I still see this light?”

Just when Zhao Meng was wondering, the light slowly weakened but did not disappear. He could feel that the light turned into a straight line, a very straight straight line.

And his entire consciousness was pulled by this light, dragging him in one direction. In a trance, he seemed to see the outside world. He saw the collider and the experimenters around him.

"what's the situation!"

  【Simulation failed! 】

 …

 【In the first week, you were born and you became a guinea pig】

It was still the same laboratory, still the same culture chamber with constant temperature and humidity. On the third day after birth, Zhao Meng had already opened his eyes.

 After knowing that he would participate in some kind of collision experiment, Zhao Meng was no longer anxious.

 What he was more confused about at this time was what happened during the collision.

“What experiments are these humans going to do?”

He looked at the huge whiteboard in the laboratory. The people in the experiment were calculating something on the whiteboard, and some were arguing in front of the whiteboard.

Zhao Meng silently observed the behavior of these humans, as if he wanted to find clues from them.

  【In the second week, you thrive under the influence of the outside world. 】

Zhao Meng pondered the contents of the whiteboard while maintaining his physical growth.

But even with Zhao Meng’s combined knowledge in his past and present lives, he still has not understood these advanced physics.

  【In the third week, your life will be worry-free and you will grow further. 】

"It seems like they have an idea. These humans want to knock something out of the white mouse!"

Looking at the projection screen in front of the whiteboard, Zhao Meng finally discovered something.

 This week, these humans finally stopped discussing mathematical formulas that were difficult for them to understand on the whiteboard.

Instead, a curtain was set up in another place, and a projector was used to project some slides on it.

 The content shown on this slide is the content of the next experiment.

 Zhao Meng saw through the slides that these humans put mice into the experimental device.

 Then a ray of something was knocked out of his body through some kind of particle,

That thing showed some kind of shadow, it looked like a soul.

"soul!"

 “You’re kidding!”

These scientific researchers with advanced knowledge actually want to do such outrageous experiments.

  【In the fourth week, you have come to a new living place, and your living conditions have become better】

"I see!"

Although he was moved to a new place, Zhao Meng can still observe human behavior.

 The various slides and data displayed by these humans gradually made him understand something.

 “An exploration of brain-computer interfaces and the nature of consciousness?”

Before Zhao Meng traveled through time in his previous life, human brain-computer interface technology had quietly reached a certain level.

Human beings can read the nerve information of the mouse's brain and use this information to see the mouse's field of view. Although this field of view is just a reprocessing of a simple two-dimensional array diagram,

 But this breakthrough has reached a terrifying level.

 Breakthroughs in brain-computer technology have also allowed humans to conduct deeper exploration into the nature of human consciousness. Human thinking activities are originally the action potentials of nerve cells, which are displayed through high-level and low-level signals similar to binary signals.

Since binary is the lowest operating logic of computers, can the memories stored in the human brain and the dynamic consciousness generated be read and transferred?

Theoretically, the two are similar, and humans have been working hard in this regard.

 But in fact, until Zhao Meng traveled through time, according to the information he knew, humans did not seem to have made a breakthrough in this regard.

 “These humans seem to be studying this!”

 Looking at the content on the whiteboard and recalling the previous experiments, Zhao Meng became even more confused.

“If you want to explore the nature of consciousness, you can study brain-computer interfaces. What is the point of hitting a mouse with a collider?”

“You can’t knock the rat’s consciousness out!”

  【In the first week of the first month, you were moved to a new territory and you gained a new growth rate. 】

 “The experiment is coming!”

Zhao Meng continued to observe the content on the whiteboard. After finding the thread last week, Zhao Meng took a step further to crack the content on the whiteboard.

 Such a complicated thing, of course, he couldn't understand it with his knowledge in his previous life.

 But the mathematical knowledge he gained in this world, especially the knowledge in spiritual practice, was actually able to draw parallels.

At this point, he couldn't help but think of a sentence he accidentally heard in his previous life.

If one day, if human beings encounter aliens in the universe under the same physical rules, mathematics may be the first language of communication.

 “What is this part?”

“It seems to be a state of matter at some extreme temperature!”

At this time, another slide was played in front of the whiteboard. Looking at the content on it, Zhao Meng was thinking about something.

 “Another form of matter?”

“What does this have to do with the consciousness impact experiment?”

 In his previous life, in the compulsory education that Zhao Meng received, matter was divided into solid, liquid, and gaseous states.

  Under certain changes in air pressure and temperature, these three states can transform into each other.

 It wasn’t until he went to college and accidentally communicated with other science and engineering classmates that he realized that matter has more forms.

Like frozen water, if it is heated, it will become liquid water, and if it is heated again, it will become gaseous. What if it continues to be heated?

 How will water change if it is heated to thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of millions of degrees?

 At first, humans would not think about such boring questions, until humans thought about the nature of fire, humans launched solar probes and saw the real sun.

That strange state of gaseous and liquid state prevented early human researchers from defining what kind of material form the sun was.

The activities on the surface of the sun clearly show that it has some obvious fluid properties, but it cannot be classified as a liquid. In this case, it is called plasma by the sun.

If it is kept heated, some strange changes will occur in the form of matter.

What about matter that keeps getting colder?

Zhao Meng saw some descriptions on the slides at this time, which were to put some materials close to absolute zero into collision experiments.

Human beings try to use this material that is close to absolute zero to inherit consciousness.

 “Strange!”

  【In the second week of the first month, you become an adult. What does your instinct drive you to do? 】

 “These humans want to freeze consciousness!”

 Another week passed, and Zhao Meng finally understood what experiments these humans were going to do.

Brain-computer interface technology is to transfer and read consciousness in the same way that a computer stores information.

 What these humans have to do is to excite the brain nerve signals and use another material form to condense and store them.

 “Such a whimsical experiment!”

“Have humans really done this kind of experiment in previous lives?”

“It’s still a special experiment simulated in a simulation.”

After understanding the content of the entire experiment, Zhao Meng was indescribably shocked.

“There are substances in the world that can condense consciousness!”

Zhao Meng doesn’t know what the condensation polymer substance is.

 But the material properties labeled by these humans do have this ability. It is an exaggeration to say that it is condensation, but it can slow down the speed of light.

 The essence of consciousness is, in a way, electrons moving in the brain.

If it were possible to reproduce the electronic movements in the human brain at every moment into some kind of material,

 Then humans can break through the natural obstacle of the cerebral cortex and intuitively see the state of the brain.

 “They want to take a picture of consciousness!”

  Then, like a cartoon, the consciousness is combined into continuous pictures.

 “Incredible!”

Zhao Meng still dare not imagine that humans can conduct such an experiment.

At this time, he may be like the person who lived at the end of the feudal dynasty in his previous life.

When facing X-rays for the first time, it was unimaginable that someone could see their own bones through the flesh.

 He will only think that the terrifying device has taken away the human soul, making him feel scared and panicked.

  【In the first month and third week, you are becoming more and more mature, and your body's instinct drives you to look for something. 】

A new experiment was about to begin again. Based on his experience in the previous two simulations, Zhao Meng unsurprisingly chose to be the guinea pig for the experiment.

 He came to the collider again. Looking at the huge collider, Zhao Meng noticed more details this time.

 Previously, he only noticed the size of the collider.

But this time, he discovered the really valuable thing on the collider, which was the various large and small, extremely sophisticated sensing equipment densely distributed on the collider.

 The principle of the collider itself is very simple.

Even a child can build a simple particle collision device by finding a long piece of wire.

 The real difficulty is knowing what happens in the collider and what is produced after the collision.

 Under collisions at the speed of light, human eyes cannot observe these phenomena, and what can be relied on is sophisticated sensing and detection devices.

  Because it is necessary to observe the fierce collision process, many sensing equipment are disposable, which is one of the reasons why each experiment consumes a lot of resources.

 “Of course I am also one of the consumables!”

Zhao Meng stayed quietly in a metal tube, and he was put into the collider again.

“Humans can’t enter the collider and see things intuitively, but I can.”

“I don’t know what it feels like to completely leave the body with consciousness.”

“It seems that the feeling last time was the phenomenon of consciousness being knocked out.”

 In the collider, it became quiet again,

The sound of liquid flowing passed quickly, and this time Zhao Meng knew clearly that it was liquefied gas used for cooling. When the flowing sound stops, the collision will begin.

 …

The light appears again,

  But the phenomenon produced by this experiment was different from the last time.

What Zhao Meng saw was a line of light with no end in sight.
