Beneath Deep Space

What is human self-awareness? At present, no one can tell clearly. Some people say it is the soul, others say it is the joint action of the entire brain, and the various opinions are inconclusive.

For example, a person accidentally kicks a table leg, and the neurons in the leg transmit pain information to the spinal cord.

So, is pain felt in the spinal cord? Of course not. The spinal cord is just an information processing intermediary. It is the spinal cord that transmits pain information to the cerebral cortex, which makes people feel pain.

In this way, is the cerebral cortex the ultimate essence of consciousness?

No, the cerebral cortex can be subdivided into a large number of neurons. Only the information processed by these neurons can make people feel pain.

However, neurons only process biological currents and related biological signals of different frequencies and strengths.

So in the final analysis, it is these bioelectric currents and signals that make people feel pain?

Are these bioelectric currents the ultimate human consciousness? A group of electric currents that feel pain and scream?

Ultimately, what is “self” and what is it that feels pain? For this type of problem, scientists can't understand it, they can't figure it out...

Human beings still know nothing about their own bodies. From this, things like soul and religion were also born. There is no way to prove whether these claims are true or false.

This kind of question was too convoluted. Yu Yifeng gave up after thinking about it for a while, "Do you have any guesses?"

"Because humans have never understood the nature of self-awareness, they have not been able to study perfect hormones well. Progress has been stuck here for decades..."

In the past, humans have conducted a large number of human experiments using dying volunteers and various death row prisoners. There is no doubt that all of them have failed. During the experiment, their brain waves rapidly became disrupted, leading to eventual brain death.

"I'm thinking... we have a successful example, maybe we can make some use of this example. We plan to find some people similar to you to see if there is any possibility of success."

"Just like you, you are a psychic. So we suspect that only people with telepathy can become superhumans." Kelly looked at Yu Yifeng with burning eyes.

"Of course, this conjecture may not be correct. The coalition government has also conducted experiments with people with psychic abilities, and they still failed..."

So the question is, what exactly is psychic ability and why does it occur?

If there really is a "soul" in the world, "self-awareness" and various psychic abilities will have a better explanation, and it is not impossible to attribute various supernatural phenomena to the soul...

But in this way, a new question arises, what is the soul? Can the soul affect matter?

The answer Yu Yifeng got was only three words, "I don't know!"

He frowned tightly, really confused. These scientists didn't know anything about the east or the west. What else could they know?

But if you think about it carefully, you can’t blame them entirely. As these scientists said, people have taken several big steps on the road to natural science, but they have made almost no achievements in spiritual science...

If humans want to study their own minds, they must at least make more achievements in the life sciences.

Current science cannot prove the existence of the soul, but it cannot deny its existence either. Logically speaking, proving the existence of something is as simple as taking out a sample.

To prove that something does not exist, you have to search the entire space. However, human exploration space is currently limited to a small part of the universe, and very little is known about this part.

"But regardless of whether a soul exists...the human brain does have the ability to affect matter," Dr. Kelly explained.

"The human brain is an electrochemical organ. Bioelectrical signals transmit information between brain cells. Strong magnetic fields will affect those signals and produce strange vision, touch and hearing. The electromagnetic fields acting on the human brain can also cause different emotions. Such as fear, nervousness, excitement, etc.”

"In contrast, the human brain can also emit bioelectricity and electromagnetic waves to the outside world."

"This phenomenon can try to explain your psychic abilities. Perhaps, as a superhuman, you can emit a unique magnetic field, which gives us a warm feeling like the sun... Of course, it is not necessarily a magnetic field, maybe it is something else. thing."

"Magnetic fields are easily shielded. I don't think it's a magnetic field..." Dr. Roman waved his hand and said, "If the soul really exists, maybe it's another supernatural effect..."

When it comes to general metaphysical topics, traditional scientists like Roman don't know what to say anymore.

Only Kelly is an expert in this field. When it comes to the soul, it always involves religion, which feels very "pseudo-scientific".

Yu Yifeng's ability to accept is very strong. On the one hand, he expressed doubts. On the other hand, since there is no better explanation... let's just believe their words...

"So, is there any basis for the statement that people with psychic abilities are more likely to become superhumans?"

"Actually, there's no basis for it. It's all our guesses." Roman shook his head, feeling ashamed to see others. After studying for so long, they actually didn't know anything.

Even Dr. Kelly blushed. In this environment where everyone is a workaholic, what they did was a bit like a waste of time. They really didn't produce anything.

"Because you are a psychic, we believe that only a psychic can become a superhuman!" Kelly stuck out her tongue, feeling very embarrassed.

"This kind of thing..." Yu Yifeng scratched the back of his head. This logic was wrong. "Are there any people with psychic abilities among the fifty thousand of us?"

"Yes, at least three." Dr. Roman suddenly said.

"One is Calvin in prison, one is Li Wu, an engineer from the Wild Wolf Design Bureau, and the other... is Yuriko."

Yu Yifeng's heart moved. He knew about the other two. One was a mysterious "prophet" and the other was a super engineer who helped Ding Yidong build a nuclear bomb. How could Lily be the same?

He had seen the files of the moon base and found no problems. Could it be that they were hidden?

Dr. Roman also saw Yu Yifeng's confusion. He stared at the ceiling and slowly recalled, "Lily, poor child, I have adopted her for 10 years..."

Yuriko was born in a Japanese town called "Tanabe". When she was very young, she showed abilities that were different from ordinary people.

She looks cute and her every move always pleases the adults. It can be said that she is extremely well-behaved and has never made any mistakes since she was a child!

But this kind of cuteness is actually abnormal...

"In fact, she had a unique psychic ability when she was young, and that is - reading people's thoughts!"

"Yes, mind reading...she can read most people's minds!"

Mind-reading, a terrifying ability, has made her precociously intelligent since she was a child, and her intelligence is much higher than that of people of the same age. At first, no one felt anything unusual, not even her parents.

They all think that Yuriko's cuteness is just that she is smart...

Yuriko's psychic ability is innate, and she may have become accustomed to it, and she doesn't feel anything different.

She can always understand what adults are thinking and avoid making mistakes. She does whatever the adults like, and doesn't do anything the adults don't like.

"Her family conditions are relatively poor. Moreover, her father has serious domestic violence tendencies, and she grew up in this environment..." Roman said with some seriousness.

Yu Yifeng felt the same way. It turned out that this girl had such a story, which was really pitiful.

"Adults' thoughts are filthy and complicated, and she is so young... Because of her mind-reading ability, we don't know what she saw or learned during that time. Perhaps this is what caused her to Quiet character..."

Dr. Roman suddenly sighed.

"Perhaps she is really too smart, too well-behaved, and not bad looking. Many people in places like Japan have twisted personalities... there are a lot of Lolicon, that's the word, right?"

"Anyway, a local gang leader somehow took a fancy to her. Not only did her scumbag father not protect her, he actually sold her for some money..."

Dr. Roman gave an overview in a few words. But Yu Yifeng vaguely felt how much content was hidden in it...
