Three floors of the underground building, C-14 project team.
Jiang Baimian was carrying a tactical backpack and met Mei Shouan.
"Mianmian is here?" Mei Shouan showed a kind smile, "The team responsible for making biological cochlear implants for you and the corresponding equipment and equipment are ready, and we will strive to get it done once and not let you suffer more."
According to the predetermined process, Jiang Baimian will receive anesthesia in the last step of the awakening experiment and go into sleep.
In terms of timing, this is completely feasible.
"Thank you, Uncle Mei." Jiang Baimian sincerely thanked the other party.
She was afraid of being anesthetized, losing consciousness, falling into darkness, and no longer being able to control herself, so if she could solve it all at once, she would definitely raise her hands and feet in favor.
Mei Shouan nodded, and his expression gradually became serious:
"Before the official start, I have to say something to you.
"You should already know that the risk of the C-14 project is very low, but that doesn't mean it's not at all.
"There is a 5 in 1,000 chance that the experimenter will never wake up again, and there is a 20% chance that he will have a variety of problems, including anxiety, mania, transient amnesia, and skin allergies for a period of time.
"The success rate of the experiment, that is, the probability of awakening people, is very unstable
"In addition, those who are continuously subjected to experiments have the probability of problems skyrocketing, which is almost equivalent to suicide.
"Think about it now, there is still a chance to regret it."
After explaining the risk, Mei Shouan sighed and said:
"You're D9, it's only a matter of time before you get into management, if you're my daughter, I definitely don't want you to take such a risk."
The implicit meaning of his words is:
Mianmian, you have to consider the feelings of your father and mother.
Jiang Baimian said with a smile:
"Uncle Mei, you know, I've been running outside, and the tasks I'm responsible for are a bit dangerous, and the probability of death is estimated to be more than 5 in 1,000."
That being said, she didn't actually discuss it with Ms. Xue, and pulled Lao Jiang to cut first and then play.
Mei Shouan said "hmm":
"Since you have thought it through, then I won't say much, let's get started."
He called in a female researcher and asked her to lead Jiang Baimian to change clothes, after all, she had to undergo surgery later.
Jiang Baimian followed the instructions emotionally and steadily, changed his clothes, put away his backpack, and then underwent laboratory tests.
Then, she shone three lights in a row and stayed in a small dark room with no light or sound for nearly a quarter of an hour.
This is different from the process described by Shang Jianyao before, and it can be seen that the C-14 project team has made a lot of improvements over the past year.
At the end of the experiment, Jiang Baimian entered a room made of silver and white metal, and many medical staff and equipment were waiting nearby.
"Lie down on the bed." Mei Shouan pointed to the movable surgical bed fixed in the center of the room.
Jiang Baimian nodded, walked over, sat down and lay down, all in one go.
"Next is the injection of anesthetic." Mei Shouan said simply.
At the same time, two researchers entered the room with medical kits.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Baimian suddenly raised his hand and sat up.
"What's wrong?" Mei Shouan asked kindly.
Jiang Baimian said "uh" and asked expectantly:
"Yes, can you put on some music?"
The thought of falling into uncontrollable darkness made her nervous.
Mei Shouan's brows furrowed slightly:
"Music?"
Jiang Baimian showed a flattering smile:
"Uncle Mei, just play a song to relax my mental state, and when the anesthetic is injected, you can turn it off.
"The song is in my computer, the computer is in my backpack, please call someone to help me get it."
Mei Shouan, who has always conducted experiments strictly in accordance with the regulations, originally wanted to say whether this would affect the final result, but when he heard Jiang Baimian say that he could stop singing as soon as the anesthetic was injected, he choked back on the corresponding words.
It's not a problem, we're all talking now, and there's no essential difference in playing an extra song...... Mei Shouan thought for a moment, nodded lightly and said:
"Okay."
Soon, a researcher took the key handed over by Jiang Baimian and lifted her backpack.
According to Mei Shouan's cautious instructions, the portable computer was not taken into the room made of silver and white metal, but was placed at the entrance.
Jiang Baimian only gave a few words of instruction, and the researcher, who was not unfamiliar with computers, successfully called up the music player.
"Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young?
"Like a flower that never withers
"Accompany me through the wind and rain
"Look at the impermanence of the world
"Look at the vicissitudes of life......" (Note 1)
The melodious singing echoed, Jiang Baimian took two deep breaths, lay down again, and closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, she sneaked her eyes out of a line.
"Why is it so thick?" Jiang Baimian sat up again, pointed to the needle, and blurted out.
"Your quality is far better than that of ordinary people, and the amount of anesthetic you need is definitely different." explains the researcher in charge of anesthesia.
Jiang Baimian instinctively retorted:
"I'm not an elephant!"
"It's just a little more than normal." The researcher in charge of anesthesia was relieved.
Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, closed his eyes suddenly, and fell straight down.
Out of sight is clean!
"Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young?
"Like a flower that never withers......
The repeated singing voice lingered in her mind, making her hold on and not sit up again.
After a little sting, she knew that coma and darkness would inevitably come.
…………
In a daze, a light appeared in front of Jiang Baimian's eyes.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a strange place.
It was an unusually wide and empty hall, surrounded by walls cast of black metal that shimmered with a cold light.
The upper part of the hall was dim, like the night sky.
In the "sky", there are countless bright stars, which slowly rotate and intertwine into thirteen dreamy rivers.
Countless starlights fell, condensing a blurry figure in the center of the hall.
The figure spread his hands outward, strictly symmetrical, as if embracing the world and simulating the scales.
"He" voice was grand but empty, echoing in the hall over and over again:
"One price, three gifts."
"One price, three gifts......"
When Jiang Baimian saw this scene, he probably understood where he had come.
"Hall of Stars"!
This is exactly the same as the "Hall of Stars" described by Shang Jianyao!
I woke up...... The experiment was successful...... Jiang Baimian was happy at first, and then had strong doubts.
She never felt that her luck was far superior to others, and she had long been mentally prepared for awakening failure, but as a result, things went smoothly beyond her imagination.
Do I have any conditions that are necessary for awakening? Or maybe we went deep into the investigation of the causes of the destruction of the Old World, and so that someone or some gave a little "blessing"? Jiang Baimian has always been smart, and smart people always like to think too much and are suspicious.
She calmed down and forced herself to focus on the figure in the center of the hall.
Now that she has come this far, no matter what the reason is, she can only continue to walk.
Jiang Baimian, who loves to do various plans, has already thought about which field of ability to awaken.
What she likes more is that she thinks that it can complement her other characteristics and the specific situation of the group, there are six major areas: "Zhuangsheng", "Bodhi", "Dawn", "Last Man", "Broken Mirror" and "Siming".
Because there was already an awakener in the "Zhuang Sheng" realm in the team, and he was very strong, Jiang Baimian directly ruled out this option when he listed it.
In the field of "dawn", the only price she knows is intermittent coma, schizophrenia and five senses abnormalities, the first two, she can't bear it at all, and she doesn't plan to choose, in the latter case, taste is the best direction, but in that case, she feels that she will lose a lot of the fun of being a human being - life is so hard, you can't even eat something good to soothe you, sooner or later you will be depressed;
In the field of "last man", Jiang Baimian knew that the price was memory loss, sleep disorders and lack of self-discipline in some aspects, which she felt were all problems that greatly affected her usual state, so she gave up this field for the second time;
In the field of "Bodhi", Jiang Baimian neither wants to be insane or have abnormal senses, nor does she want to be unable to lie - this can easily bring big trouble at critical moments.
The former will directly reduce her combat effectiveness, and the latter will obviously affect her thinking problems, and the abnormal eyeballs, she thinks it is quite bearable, but it is ugly, so she puts it in a relatively low position;
In the field of "broken mirrors", photophobia, fear of water, and fear of mirrors all affect daily life too much, and are easy to be discovered, Jiang Baimian gave up immediately, "claustrophobia" is the same, the death of the owner of the "virtual world", she still remembers it, the remaining face blindness and road idiocy, the former is easy to distinguish between friend and foe, too dangerous, the latter can be considered......
In the midst of his thoughts, Jiang Baimian quickly passed through the options of abnormal taste, fixed eyeballs, and road idiots.
After more than ten seconds, she made a decision.
"Road idiot"!
This is a price at which she can rely on the auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis to reduce the negative impact.
Although this will most likely reduce her ability to observe and remember her surroundings at the same time, on important occasions, she can "remember" while watching, not afraid of forgetting, and will not make mistakes.
In addition, always working in a team can effectively avoid problems.
Shout...... Jiang Baimian exhaled, walked to the front of the figure, raised his head, and said loudly:
"I traded my idiocy for ability."
As soon as she finished speaking, three stars fell rapidly from a high altitude.
They turned into different light clusters and were cast on Jiang Baimian's body.
Each of these light clusters has some text, which are:
"Spatial hallucinations", "object agnosia", "stimulus disorder".
