Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 298 Basic research is always useless
The observable window of identifiable fluctuations was not long, and the whole process lasted for about ten seconds, and then was lost in the complex clutter due to the weakening of intensity.

The mental senses register this wave, and its pattern is transmitted to the mental senses like a real wave from the immature mental body formed around the moon body.

From the assistant's perspective, the sample only twitched briefly and then returned to a regular pulsing state.

But Kraft was almost pumping with excitement. The last time I saw him like this was when he got a whole box of heavy, golden rewards at Solace Harbor. The bottle is like a piece of red-hot pure gold, and its hot attraction firmly attracts the eyes to the glass.

"A miracle." Kraft stared at the pulsating mass for a long time before placing the bottle back in its base.

The expected discomfort hit him, and he adjusted his body's leaning direction and fell into the chair, making the armrests creak. An invisible feeling of embarrassment and suffocation squeezed out from the space, making people feel that every inch of the body was thrown into a large hydraulic machine and rolled into infinitely thin dough.

The pain of being detached from the mental senses did not quell the idea of ​​continuing the experiment. Perhaps he understood Professor Morrison. The more he knew, the less he could resist the incredible attraction of that power.

It is not an effect achieved through distorted thinking like black liquid, but a judgment based on one's own existing cognition and evaluation - it may be the ultimate answer to the disease.

Even within the knowledge of alien souls, this is a temptation that is difficult to refuse.

The biggest scams are always the truth, and the most tempting traps always involve real money.

Neither Morrison nor the researcher who died in the royal tomb made the transition from his job to a heretic overnight.

They may all be people with a basic conscience, hovering in front of the highest threshold they can reach, and are not allowed to enter due to the limitations of the times.

The first step is always ambiguous. Kraft clearly realized that he was in the same position as they were at that time, and there would be no difference because of a higher level of cognition.

They stand in front of the gate of a new field. If they take a small step forward, they can cross the previous upper limit. The risk does exist, but it is within an acceptable range.

Take a small step, just a small step. Once you understand what this step is about, there won't be much problem in stopping. It doesn't even matter if you go a little deeper while ensuring safety. There is plenty of room for maneuver.

It is also clear that if you go too deep, sooner or later something will go wrong.

In essence, it is a gamble with the deep level. As long as you win enough chips and exit in time before paying the price, or after bearing part of the acceptable price, you will reap pure profits in vain.

Obviously, Professor Morrison lost the bet because he didn’t know enough about the depth, the method was wrong, and he didn’t know what was most valuable. Maybe he felt that the price was within the acceptable range until the moment before he crossed the final boundary. Inside.

Now there is another professor who has discovered this bet and is ready to end it. He has far superior professional knowledge, rich experience in deep contact, and ability to handle accidents. He can definitely do better.

It can definitely be done better?
Really? Craft asked himself. Does he really understand the depths and the things embedded in his arm?

Well, now he has another advantage, he is self-aware.

He would be sorry for himself if he didn't try now. If he gave up like this, he might wake up every night in the future, reflecting on whether the rejection at that time was worth it in the face of each unmanageable condition.

Of course, maybe not tonight. The amount of mental senses used today was large enough, and as the experiment dragged on, it unknowingly exceeded the previous level.

"Coop, prepare the rabbit from last time and use it tomorrow." In line with the principle that experimental animals should not be used dual-purpose, the rabbit whose blood was taken last time is still kept in the backyard of the clinic and has not been harmed for the time being. The kitchen is vicious, but its good days should be over.

The focus of the experiment quickly shifted towards unexpected discoveries. As for the clueless high-precision deep impact detection device. What is it? Does the Inquisition provide research funds? Even the rabbits were purchased at my own expense. From the next day, Kraft's time in the clinic was reduced to half a day, and he was given free time while David was given the opportunity to exercise. That's putting it mildly.

Animal testing was quickly put on the agenda.

He temporarily named this fluctuation the "defibrillator effect" in honor of his discovery of the phenomenon of ventricular fibrillation caused by digitalis.

Preliminary experiments are planned to determine the mechanism of action of the "defibrillator effect." Is it through some way to relieve digitalis' inhibition of the sodium-potassium pump and readjust the ion gradient inside and outside the cells, or is it some more "magical" way to forcibly restore the myocardial diastolic function.

If it is the former, it may be used for first aid treatment of digitalis poisoning.

Considering that there are currently no conditions to explore from a microscopic perspective, he hopes to explore the mechanism from the impact of fluctuations on normal tissues.

After the animal, which still knew nothing about its fate, had a feast, it was firmly tied to the experimental table with restraints, and a glass bottle containing the sample was placed close to the heart. The distance between the rabbit heart and the sample is about three horizontal fingers.

This is still too far to only cover the fluctuations of the sample itself. That thin and incomplete spiritual body needs to be expanded further to be able to obtain it.

He tried to stimulate a larger and more effective "defibrillator effect" by injecting large doses of digitalis juice.

After injecting a dose of digitalis equivalent to twice the previous dose, higher intensity fluctuations were indeed observed, but they were always limited to the range of the sample itself, without significant range expansion.

This difficulty stuck in the experiment for nearly two days. No matter whether the dose was increased, the concentration was reduced, or the injection time was extended, the intensity could only be increased, and the fluctuations were always limited to the sample's poor shapeless spiritual body.

Moreover, after being subjected to high-intensity experiments, the already weak mental body of the sample showed signs of weakness.

Kraft had to let it rest for half a day and reflect on whether there was anything wrong with the method.

The so-called 'wave' is something that can only be mediated by the mental body, so it can only be detected by the mental senses.

It is the same as applying coupling agent between the probe and the skin before an ultrasound examination. It requires a mental body or a medium with similar properties to effectively spread the waves to other places.

This determines whether the experiment can be carried out further and whether it can be applied to humans.

With this range, even if the pericardial cavity is removed and a sample emitting fluctuations is attached to the heart surface, it may not affect the entire left ventricle.

"It's more troublesome than I thought." Kraft took the rabbit off the experimental table and stuffed it into the cage, and fed him two lettuce leaves.

Facts have proved that if you are not willing to take risks, you will definitely gain something. There is always an unbridgeable gap between theory and application.

"But it doesn't matter. Basic research is always 'useless', so you should be mentally prepared."

The frequency and duration of mental sensory use in the past few days have increased unprecedentedly, to the point where I feel a little scared when I think about it, but my tolerance for the pain when disconnected has not increased significantly.

Reason and self-control tell him that his current state is a bit like the gambler above, who can't wait to put chips into the next one.

The best option is not to change the plan, but to go to a sobriety meeting outside and do something else - such as returning to the clinic to take over the work, or taking care of Green's mental state after he goes out for recuperation.
