Dream Machine?

"What's going on?" Yue Yuan's vision gradually Qingming, and he also saw the people surrounding him. They were Zhu Pete, Yi Kai, Dai De, and some scholars and staff in the fields of Mental Consciousness and genetic research.

Yue Yuan discovered that the bed he was lying on was connected to various data cables, many of which were attached to his body.

This is a device with a human body microcurrent sensor. The principle is similar to the cockpit of the Tactical Armor. It is used to detect the microcurrents and brain waves generated by human thought activities. Here, it is used as a body detection device.

"You fainted in your sleep. It was the SOS mode set up in your Brain Chip that notified 'Tianhe Light'. Then 'Tianhe Light' sent an intelligent robot to the Academy of Sciences. Because 'Tianhe Light' determined that you fainted due to excessive mental stress, you should feel very tired now."

It was Dai De who spoke.

Humanity has developed to this stage, and hospitals still exist. However, the main function of hospitals today is no longer to treat diseases, but to conduct various gene modification-related tests and enhancements, because humans are now basically immune to illness.

Diseases have been almost completely eliminated in this era. The reason for saying "almost" is that human genes still inevitably undergo unpredictable changes under certain circumstances, which can lead to some strange diseases. However, these are not major problems, and these diseases can almost all be resolved through gene therapy.

The reason Yue Yuan wasn't sent to the hospital by "Tianhe Light" was that "Tianhe Light" judged that Yue Yuan's fainting was simply due to normal mental fatigue. Sending him to the Institute of Subconscious Mind Research was partly to utilize the institute's equipment for testing after his fainting spell, but the bigger reason was Yue Yuan's own settings for emergency measures on his Brain Chip.

Indeed, as Dai De said, Yue Yuan still felt full of power, the kind of power that could punch through a steel plate, but he felt very mentally exhausted.

Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yuan stood up and looked at the people who had been surrounding him. "So, while I was unconscious, did they detect anything?"

"I'm sorry, Chief of Staff. Our instruments detected that you are overworked and mentally exhausted, but there are no other abnormalities. Judging from the brain activity signals during your unconsciousness, it's like someone who hasn't slept on a good day, so..." It was still Dai De speaking, and at the end he looked at Yue Yuan, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

So what exactly happened to you? Or what did you dream about last night?

Yue Yuan could guess the question Dai De wanted to ask, because it was all too easy to guess. First, everyone in the world had been dreaming lately, and second, Yue Yuan himself hadn't been doing anything that involved staying up all night recently. So, if he suddenly fainted as if he hadn't slept for several days, the most likely explanation was that it happened in a dream.

"Dreams." Yue Yuan didn't hide anything, after all, this wasn't just about him alone, but about the dreams of all humanity and the mystery of Dreamscape Event.

"I saw a very magical scene in my dream last night. The starry sky, the warship, and the 360-Degree Panoramic View were amazing. But the appearance of all this seemed to be related to whether or not one can overcome the fear of the starry sky and whether or not one dares to face the deep Abyss of the starry sky." Yue Yuan recalled and then described everything he dreamed about in his sleep, while also Chen Shu his personal insights into the reasons for all of this.

If the device cannot detect the problem from the EEG feedback, then we can only start from other aspects, such as the experience of those who have been through it.

After a pause, suppressing his mental exhaustion, Yue Yuan continued, "I think the situation I dreamed about is a kind of advancement. My brain activity must have been very intense at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be so tired. But we'll have to do another test to find out exactly how intense it was and which part of my brain was active. Here's what we'll do: get all your testing equipment set up tonight, and I'll sleep here."

If my dream last night wasn't a coincidence, it will definitely happen again. Even if we don't understand the principles behind the brain activity in those dreams, we should at least know which part of the brain is undergoing intense activity; with our current technological capabilities, that shouldn't be too difficult.

Dai De nodded. "Yes, as long as there are obvious fluctuations in brainwave signals in the brain region, we can definitely detect them. If we can really detect the brain activity information in the kind of dream you were in, it will help us study the connection between dream scenes and the subconscious."

Yue Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Pete and the others, and instructed, "Well, I'm fine now. Pi Te, you and the others go about your business. Be sure to be prepared. You can tell the Security Department in advance that there might be a situation where the dream realm advances. Go, and keep the situation under control."

I'm probably not the first person to have this kind of dream; it's likely the case whenever someone faints in their sleep. I've already granted 'Tianhe Light' permission to cooperate with your investigation.

"I understand!" Zhu Pete replied and left.

After Zhu Pete and the others left, Yue Yuan continued to say to the remaining Yi Kai and Dai De, "You two should also be careful."

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff. Our Brain Chip has relevant sleep monitoring functions, and we have already set the relevant permissions. There shouldn't be any problem," Yi Kai said for the first time.

Dai De, standing to the side, said, "Me too."

"Alright." Yue Yuan considered for a moment, then continued, "You are the pillars of the School of Academy of Life Sciences, and this Dreamscape Event is closely related to your research. Going forward, you will need to pay close attention to information in this area."

Yue Yuan began with some trivial but necessary dialogue before steerable back to his thoughts on last night's dream. He looked at the two men, a questioning expression on his face. "Do you think it's possible that the Awakeners placed a Dream Machine somewhere in this space beforehand... or something similar? Such a machine could influence our dreams, causing us to experience all sorts of dreams. Judging from the current situation, these dreams seem to be some kind of spiritual guidance."

Through last night's dream, Yue Yuan could clearly sense that if he hadn't faced the profound fear of the starry sky and hadn't overcome that fear, the magical perspective he would have experienced later wouldn't have occurred.

The emergence of the third-person 360-degree wide-angle perspective was clearly the direct cause of his mental exhaustion. It was the perspective under that state that greatly and rapidly depleted his Mental Power.

This is something that has never happened in the previous dreams. If it is indeed the work of the Awakeners, then it may be that the Awakeners is giving some kind of guidance to humanity. But what could it be? If it wants to give some kind of guidance, why can't it just come out and say it directly like before?

Deep in thought, Dai De had the same question. After listening to Yue Yuan's words, he spoke up to himself, "Yes, from realizing we were dreaming, to controlling the dream, to being able to switch between First-Person Perspective and Third-Person Perspective at will, all these changes are enough to show that it's some kind of advancement. Now it seems that's right. If it really is the Awakeners —no, it must be the Awakeners — the Awakeners is guiding us in some way, but what exactly is it?"
