Chapter 151: Chapter 132: The Sound “Seen”

Harrison Clark laughed, “Enough, no one here is sensitive or sentimental but me Just spill it, what did you call me over for? I still have to get over to the other side’s lab. They’ve been saying that our thirty thousand passengers have been acting peculiar, I need to go take a look.”
‘■I wanted to discuss this with you. You know how the hearing of the blind can be sharper than that of the normal, right?”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes, when they lose their sight, the auditory center in their brain gradually awakens and grows more developed than that of the average person.”
“I don’t have any hearing, smell, touch, sight, or taste now. My senses have been stripped away completely, leaving only my thoughts. I’ve found my brain has altered on another level, becoming particularly active. Since yesterday, my brain has been vaguely ‘hearing’ strange noises. I suspect this relates to the passengers’ mental state out there, and also to the invaders’ mental infiltration that you’ve been emphasizing.”
Harrison Clark abruptly stood up.
“Is this true?”
■■It is. At first, I thought it was my imagination and wasn’t sure. So I spent a day observing. As we get closer to the Invader Barrier, those voices that match the special wavebands are becoming clearer. It was only when I was more confident that I decided to tell you. I think this is a special radiation microwave that mankind has never understood. Its effectiveness should be precise yet extensive Quantum Entanglement. This Quantum Entanglement isn’t on the level of electron entanglement. The energy level of this quantum is much lower than quarks and electrons, deeper than the limit of our current technological level, but it objectively exists.”
Harrison Clark was in deep thought, trying to ponder Needham Brown’s words.
Not long after, he decided to give up.
He said that even though he had read many academic books of the Escape Faction, he still could not understand and had no way to construct and imagine the concept Needham Brown was describing according to his own scientific view in his mind.
Needham Brown asked again, “Did you just order a missile launch?”
“Yes.”
“A Neutron Fission Missile?”
Harrison Clark was slightly surprised, “Yes, how did you know?” The spaceship was loaded with eighteen kinds of missiles, and neutron fission bombs were not commonly used.
If Needham Brown merely guessed it right, it was too much of a coincidence.
“Because I ’saw’ it.”
“Huh? Saw?”
“The moment the Neutron Fission Missile was disassembled, I ‘saw’ the process of those basic particles separating. This ‘saw’ is in quotation marks.” “in that case, I’m going to get everyone here right away. Form a task force and make sure to find out what the radiation wave you’ve captured is within the next month or so. Even if we can’t fully grasp its nature, we must at least figure out what it contains!”
After he finished speaking, Harrison Clark picked up the communicator and started calling people.
He really was a poor student.
But it didn’t matter, there were plenty of great students around him now.
Martha Owen’s level goes without saying.
Dr. Owen, Scott is also not to be underestimated.
There were also many professional technicians in the Escape Faction.
Not long after, Harrison Clark made a new decision.
Temporarily halt the research on the mental problems of spaceship passengers, form a project group led by Martha Owen, and fully cooperate with Needham Brown in capturing information.
Meanwhile, the spaceship continued to slow down. In the following month, they will approach the Invader Barrier at a suitable speed.
Once Harrison Clark made arrangements, everyone got to their positions. Nora Camp pulled him out and took him to a corner of the command cabin, seeming to be hesitating.
Harrison Clark cheerfully looked at her abdomen.
She snapped irritably, “What are you looking at? It’s been just over a month, what are you thinking?”
Harrison Clark embarrassedly replied, “Oh, right.”
Nora Camp asked, “You just completely stopped the psychology project?” Harrison Clarknodded, “Yep, we’re at the last step of this long march, all the other problems are minor.”
“But I don’t think it makes much sense. Since Needham Brown said it was a kind of radiation wave from a realm that humans have never touched, how could he possibly analyze its content?”
Harrison Clark retorted, “In the Summer Dynasty five thousand years ago, people didn’t understand the principle of sound waves, but they created musical instruments and even composed music. So, whether we understand this wave or not doesn’t prevent us from understanding its content.” Nora Camp paused for a moment before reacting, “Makes sense. However, I’m still not very relieved. You rarely go to the residential area at the back and don’t know the situation at the grassroots level. From my experience studying in the military, the situation is very severe and something big might happen at any time.”
Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “No worries, don’t we have a genuine major general here? Even in the military, you’re a high-level leader. Can’t you handle just thirty thousand people? Besides, I’m here too, right? “I just feel an intuitive danger, don’t you want me to trust my own intuition?” “Then I’ll get in the Azure Star and go to the residential area with you. You can rest assured then, right?”
“Okay.”
Not long after, the two took the shuttle elevator to the middle of the spaceship. The design of the entire spaceship still follows the concepts of the World Government, basically a spindle structure.
But in order to load as much energy as possible, the tail of the spindle was extraordinarily large, making the spaceship look like a large rocket from a thousand years ago.
The production and living areas in the middle section are two rotating cylindrical structures in opposite directions.
The rotation speed wasn’t too fast, much like the rotating restaurants in some large cities on Earth.
The purpose of rotation wasn’t to simulate earth’s gravity, that was the function of a specific energy field system.
Rotation was simply to maintain the basic physiological adaptation of the human cerebellar spindle, to avoid dizziness.
At the same time, the opposite rotation of the two sections also helped the spaceship maintain the balance of the center of gravity when moving straight ahead.
Now that the human cryogenic technology is stable and advanced enough, according to the design concept, both passengers and main members can choose whether to undergo cryogenic sleep after leaving the Solar System. But before they successfully break through the Solar System, people still remain active.
Harrison Clark and Nora Camp arrived at the living area.
Order still prevailed here.
Adults were playing and frolicking with children from time to time.
The bar was still open, the internet cafe was bustling, and the basketball court was still having a heated game.
Harrison Clark asked Nora Camp next to him: “Isn’t it great here?” Nora Camp shook her head, “No, take another closer look at everyone’s expressions. Their micro-expressions. I’ve recently been reading a lot of psychological literature again, especially from five hundred years ago. With Nora Camp’s hint, when Harrison Clark looked again, he noticed the problem.
This feeling was hard to describe, but it made him feel a bit creeped out intuitively.
Everyone’s demeanor didn’t seem to have much of a problem, but in the details, there was a sense of eeriness and somberness.
Everyone seemed to be a computer trying its best to mimic humans. This made Harrison Clark think of a famous theory he learned while watching 3D real-life movies in the twenty-first century, the Uncanny Valley Effect..
