On Wang Chao's side, after finishing editing something about Omnisiah, the God of All Machines, he enjoyed the performance of Gaius and others with satisfaction.
The last time he took the initiative to make something up like this was when he faced off against superpowers at Doyle Space Station.
Before that, he just wanted to roam the world with beautiful girls and live a life without shame.
Okay now, he has become the Supreme Emperor of the United Star Cluster.
It shows that a person's destiny, in addition to his own efforts, also depends on the process of history.
While Wang Chao was sighing, Gaius asked: "So, Honorable Consul for Life, where should we go to find the Tao?"
Where to look for it? Look for it on the body of the guy who was just burned by the ship's laser.
Because he was distracted, Wang Chao realized a second later that Gaius was asking where there were relics of alien civilization.
He didn't know how to answer at all, because he didn't know where the ruins that had been discovered were, let alone the ruins that hadn't been discovered yet.
After a brief hesitation, he decided to tell the truth: "I don't know."
Gaius was shocked: "You don't know? But isn't it because the X organization conquered the United Star Cluster because there are ruins in the control area of the star cluster?"
There is no such thing! We have no intention of conquering the United Star Cluster. This is what you sent to us yourself.
Wang Chao: "The surrender of the United Star Cluster is actually beyond our expectations. The Astropath just guided the way here and did not say what would happen here."
To put it bluntly, we drew lots to select the United Star Cluster as our next destination. We originally just wanted to get some supplies, but we didn't expect you to surrender.
Gaius said "Oh" and quickly asked: "Then can you ask the astropaths of Organization X to predict where there are ruins in the United Star Cluster?"
Wang Chao could only bite the bullet and continue to add settings to the Astropath: "The Astropath only listens to the whispers of the stars and cannot ask questions to the stars. When the time is right, the next revelation will naturally come."
Wang Chao had no idea what the alien ruins looked like, so even if he wanted to make up something to deceive people, it would be hard to make it up. When alien ruins are really discovered, if he goes in and takes a look, he will probably be able to come up with some deceptive tricks.
Now I can only deal with it like this.
After killing the Adventure Club, Wang Chao will investigate the alien ruins it has and see what the aliens are like.
Now, Wang Chao picked up the wine glass placed next to him and raised it high: "Now, let us drink to the new life of the United Star Cluster!"
Gaius and others did not have wine in their hands, but the drone immediately brought wine, so they also raised their glasses: "Cheers!"
**
That night, Wang Chao finally returned to the Jackdaw.
All the members of the left-behind team were waiting in the warehouse, with several beauties surrounding a pile of molten metal and charcoal.
Obviously this is the super-powered person from the Uniformity Sect who was wiped out by the ship-borne laser.
Wang Chao looked at Helena first: "Can you explain?"
Helena: "Should we leave first?"
The period after the Jackdaw enters hyperspace has absolutely no need to worry about being eavesdropped. This is the only time when one can feel 100% at ease.
Wang Chao nodded: "Okay, let's notify the port that we have to leave temporarily."
**
Team Irene was taking a break at this time. Suddenly the agent on duty turned to "Irene" who was resting on the sofa with her eyes closed and said, "The Jackdaw has left the port!"
Agent Eileen didn't even open her eyes: "They just retrieved the body of a superpower, and they are probably rushing back to the mothership. The mothership of Organization X must be within five hundred light years of the nearby area, floating in the void. ."
Agent on duty: "Isn't that mothership docking at the port for supplies?"
Erin: "The current spaceships, except for helium-3, can be renewed indefinitely. On the other hand, as long as there are cargo ships to transport helium-3, the mothership does not need to dock. When the mothership docks, we will unveil the mysterious X Time to organize the veil.”
Erin was silent for a few seconds and then added: "I have a hunch that when this mysterious mothership really appears, something big will happen."
**
After leaving the normal space, Wang Chao asked Helena again: "Can you explain it?"
The psychology professor spread his hands and said: "According to the broadcast of the 'I think, therefore I am', we can confirm that this is a spaceship of the United Church. Those people in the United Church are on the verge of madness. Most of them have Hallucinogen addiction.”
Wang Chao: "You mean they got high themselves and then killed everyone on the ship?"
At this time, Nimiao said: "I just wanted to say it. I found a record in the database of the United Star Cluster. This Cogito, therefore I am, was hired by the Three Sages before."
"What? What are you hiring for? To beat us?"
Nimiao: "Yes, and the three sages wrote 'missing' at the end of the employment record."
Wang Chao touched his chin and suddenly thought of something: "Didn't we get ambushed when we were fighting against the Three Sages? We relied on Nia's superpower to discover that the ambush was to attack first, and then the one who ambushed The boat ran away in a hurry.
"Is it...that's the one?"
Nimiao: "I don't know. After all, the records of the three sages did not record the battle process and results, nor did they say where they ambush."
Helena: "Assuming it's that ship, that can be explained."
Before she could explain, Nia spoke first: "They were frightened by us when they ambushed them before. They were already very stressed when they came back this time. If believers are stressed, they will probably pray, and Guiyi Church has to use it when praying. Hallucinogenic.
"The result is that they are in a high-pressure state. Am I correct in my analysis?"
Helena: "No. The very act of praying can relieve stress, as can using hallucinogens. I still prefer that hallucinogens drove them all crazy."
Li Feng: "From their perspective, they are not crazy, but faced the witch's power and put up an epic resistance. Maybe the Unification Church will canonize them in the future."
"This is too outrageous." Wang Chao raised his forehead, "The United Star Cluster voted inexplicably, and then the Guiyi Sect inexplicably started praising courage, but we, as demon kings, did nothing."
Nimiao: "It's better to recycle it quickly. I'm tired of having to meditate all day long to 'transfer my skills' to you."
"This corpse was burned like this by a battleship-level laser. Who knows what's going on." Wang Chao said as he stretched out his hand towards the suspected human-shaped object that was fused with steel and charcoal.
He felt the movement of the Word.
Wang Chao: "I actually got it, just for one person."
Helena was overjoyed: "Then give it to me quickly!"
Gale: "Helena is already trying to plant memes for us! We're going crazy!"
Lily: "Aren't you already crazy?"
"Yeah. That's okay."
A moment later, Helena's superego emerged.
Helena: "I have an idea. Using this experience, my super powers may not only be used for sneaking in."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a "Sadako" appeared in the warehouse.
Wang Chao: "You want to scare people by pretending to be a ghost?"
Helena smiled: "How could I do such a low-level thing? There was a movie called "Psycho Game" in ancient times. Have you seen it?"
Nimiao: "He must have seen it. He has seen every famous movie in the 21st century."
Wang Chao: "I did watch it. It was a very good psychological thriller. You mean, you can do something similar?"
Helena: "Not only can I do it, but I don't need to use so many resources. I can make the target enter a psychological thriller game with just a little cognitive interference."
Wang Chao: "And then drive people crazy?"
"No, actually I can't control the other person's reaction. Psychology is not real brainwashing after all. I know the general direction of change, but I can't determine the details of the change."
Wang Chao: "That's it."
At this time Nimiao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, since Helena is now in a situation where she can manipulate our hearts at any time, wouldn't it be dangerous to give her super powers?"
Lily smiled: "Here we go again, Nimiao wants to instigate Wang Chao to abandon us. As soon as she got on the ship, she kept urging Wang Chao to abandon me."
Helena: "I have said it a thousand times, psychology is not brainwashing. If you are induced by a psychologist, it means that you already have this desire in your heart.
"Take the people I have deceived as an example. Many people are eager to make a lot of money and take advantage of others, so they are deceived.
“If you have no desire at all for a sudden windfall, you won’t be cheated.”
Wang Chao waited for a second to make sure Helena had finished speaking, and then suggested: "You should add 'understand the applause' at the end."
Helena looked at the ceiling: "Understand the applause."
Lily was amused by her expression.
Helena said sternly: "In short, what happened this time, to put it bluntly, is that they are tormenting themselves. If they think about it, something is wrong. As long as you don't think about it, you will probably be fine."
After saying that, she looked at Nimiao: "Nimiao, you are already starting to have your thoughts. Maybe I can do something to you?"
Nimiao: "Don't worry, I'll let my superego punch you, just like this."
Nemew's superego—that "copy" of her—punches the cognitive illusion created by Helena.
Wang Chao: "Nimiao, that is a cognitive illusion created by others. Is it an illusion..."
His words were half muted, because Sadako's hallucinations really disappeared.
Wang Chao: "Wang Defa?"
Helena was also very shocked: "Disappeared?"
Nia snapped her fingers: "This is played by Professor Helena!"
Helena: "Really disappeared, I didn't do anything!"
Liefeng also joined in the booing: "It's just like the real thing! You've just started to lie to us!"
Helena: "I don't have it! Nimiao's superego...wait a minute, you can't see the superego at all if you don't have superpowers, right?"
Liefeng: "I can't see it! But that doesn't stop me from cheering!"
Wang Chao gave Li Feng a knife on his head: "Don't make trouble, we are studying the nature of super powers. Helena, tell me the truth, is it really not you who made it disappear on purpose?"
"Yes." Helena held her chin, "I think the problem actually lies with me. I saw Nimiao's superego punching her, and my subconscious thought that this should disappear."
Nia: "It may not be psychological. The main carrier of superpowers is a relic of an alien super civilization, right? It's this kind of nanomachines, right? Nanomachines belonging to different people may interfere with each other."
Helena: "With the guess, all that's left is..."
Nia: "Design an experiment. First we should verify conjecture 1, which was proposed by Helena. This is her subconscious mind."
An experiment was quickly designed by Nia: Helena needed to turn her back on the cognitive illusion she had created and blindfolded her eyes. In this case, Nimiao silently punched the illusion.
As a result, as soon as Helena was blindfolded, the illusion disappeared.
Wang Chao: "Uh, Helena? Sadako-san disappeared."
Nia: "In other words, Helena must know us before she can modify our knowledge."
Gale: "Tongue twister?"
Wang Chao: "You go have a drink, you don't need to be involved in this kind of thing."
"Okay." Liefeng decisively went to sit next to him and drink.
Lily glanced at her, maybe thinking she was a little pitiful, so she walked over and sat down next to her: "Give me a glass of wine."
"Hey, my stepmother still loves me." Li Feng put the wine bottle into Lily's hand, then rubbed it against her body, looking like a cat that came to find someone to make love to.
Others are still concentrating on studying superpowers.
Wang Chao took off Helena's hood, and the hallucination returned.
Nimiao: "In other words, this super power is more limited than imagined."
Helena smiled slightly: "How are you sure I didn't act this? Maybe I am deliberately misleading you."
Wang Chao: "Okay, stop teasing our hackers. From now on, we are all family, so don't doubt each other."
Helena: "Okay."
Nia: "You also want to understand the principles of superpowers, right? I don't think you can lie about this kind of thing."
Helena: "Are you sure?"
Nia: "You and I are actually the same kind. I don't know what happened to you before you left your research position and started to wander the world. But if you are given a chance, you will definitely return to your research position."
Helena was silent for a second and smiled contemptuously: "I didn't know Professor Nia was also accomplished in psychology."
"No, I just feel that way. There is no reason." Nia shrugged, "I designed a new experiment to further verify the fact that 'you can modify the target's cognition only when you recognize the target'."
As she spoke, Nia raised the tablet in her hand and said, "Ah, by the way, I'll send it to you directly. I'm used to giving lectures and showing teaching aids and so on."
Helena: "Lectures use this kind of 'ritual' action to give students a real sense of 'listening to lectures', thereby improving learning efficiency. I proposed the relevant theories, and I also conducted the experiments. It can indeed Improve learning efficiency by about ten percent.
"I've read the experimental plan. There's nothing to improve. Just follow this."
Then the two professors immediately set to work on the experiment.
Wang Chao wanted to interrupt, but after holding back for a long time, he couldn't find a chance. He could only run to the side and watch them work with Nimiao.
Nimiao touched Wang Chao's arm with her shoulder and established a physical connection. Through this connection, she said: "I still think Helena is acting."
"Don't be like this. If you don't doubt her, she might not be able to do anything to you. If you act like this, she can play tricks on you at any time."
"Hmph, I have a trump card for her! Did you forget that we have Peppa Pig on the ship? Peppa Pig is completely unaffected by her abilities."
The Achilles' heel of Helena's abilities is AI.
If the United Star Cluster still uses AI as extensively as before, there will be nothing she can do.
Wang Chao and Nimiao chatted for a long time, and the first wave of experiments was over.
Nia summarized the experimental results: "It is basically confirmed that Helena's ability can work on most unspecified entities that she recognizes. For example, it can work on the very general concept of 'people who see me'."
Wang Chao: "Then why does covering your eyes have no effect?"
Helena: “Because of the action of covering my eyes and the subsequent loss of function of the eye prostheses, I had the perception of ‘cognitive shielding’.
"Actually, during the first shielding, my phased array radar was still working, my hearing was still working, and I could locate you, but my superpower was still off, because of this.
"In the test just now, I gradually overcame this kind of 'self-deception'. As long as the phased array or hearing can confirm the person's ability, it will not be interrupted. In the third experiment, I gradually cut off my external senses, and finally confirmed that in the sound Once the light and phased array are blocked, cognitive intervention is impossible.
"Physical touch has no effect. Even if the target of cognitive interference touches my hand, the interference is interrupted."
Wang Chao: "I understand. In short, you have to recognize the target before you can interfere with the target. Then the question is, how do we determine whether Ni Miao punched Sadako to death because of psychological effects or because of nanomachines? s contact?"
