Chapter 495: Are You Intimidated Before Even Using the Brain Wave Machine? (Bugfield Leader Adds Update 9)
The control magician who presided over the torture was Mrs. Alva, a thirteenth-level great magician. From the outside, she has just entered middle age, with a slightly plump figure, a round face, and a very kind smile.
After hearing Grete's suggestion, she smiled slightly, with a few crow's feet curling up at the corners of her eyes. He turned around slightly and looked at Gretel, looking quite interested:
"Are you Master Nordmark? I have read the electrocardiogram and brainwave papers you wrote. Are they similar things?"
She speaks slowly, has a sincere smile, and is very approachable. After saying this, Gretel sat down on the sofa and asked the students to serve cakes, gingerbread cookies, and hot milk tea...
If she hadn't just come out of the interrogation room, at first glance, she would be no different from the bakery proprietress on the streets.
Gretel took a sip of the milk tea, turned to look back at the interrogation room, and shuddered slightly. The reception room and the interrogation room are separated by a wall. They can see each other, but the atmosphere is completely different:
The interrogation room was cold and eerie. From the ceiling to the walls, everything was simply painted with a smooth and hard cold color, similar to the color scheme of an operating room;
In the reception room, there is light yellow wallpaper, and warm-color still life paintings are symmetrically hung on the walls. The soft velvet sofa makes people sink into it as soon as they sit down. On the thick and soft carpet, there are large flowers blooming. flower……
Separated by a wall, looking back at the interrogation room is like looking down at hell from the human world. The prisoners being interrogated are always looking outside the wall, which means they are constantly being tempted:
Surrender, you see, you can return to the world in just one step...
The person who arranged all this is not simple. Is it this lady? Magicians of the enchantment and control system cannot be underestimated by anyone...
——Of course, according to Archmage Carlisle’s private science (tu) popularization (cao), female magicians of the enchantment and control system mainly take two routes:
One is the beauty type, a peerless enchantress, an ageless witch, who can kill everything with her looks (it is undeniable that looks do have a great bonus to the magic of the control type);
The other one is to follow the friendly relationship, talk and smile, and look friendly, making people unknowingly let down their guard. It has to be said that in certain situations that require large-scale publicity, communication, and persuasion, the female magician of this route is more effective than the former;
Of course, there are also relatively niche but truly capable top academics. Don't rely on appearance to confuse sentient beings, don't rely on words and expressions to analyze people's hearts. He dived into the magic configuration, worked diligently, and devoted all his energy to analyzing the principles of the magic of the control system.
This route will either produce no talents, or if it does, it will be earth-shattering. As the saying goes, "The gifts given to her by fate are all marked with a secret price." Those who did not accept this gift have obtained more things based on their own abilities.
When Gretel proposed the brainwave plan, the people he really wanted to cooperate with were these magicians who are good at research:
"Yes, according to my research, the brain generates electric waves when it is thinking, when its emotions change, and even during sleep. Recording different waveforms may be of great help to us in deciphering what the brain is thinking. .but I……"
Grete spread his hands sincerely. Mrs. Alva nodded understandingly:
"I understand, I understand, there are too many good projects and we can't finish them..."
There was a hint of envy in her tone. Gretel's situation only occurs with some particularly potential magicians:
Young, low-level, and with few subordinates. I am rich in inspiration. When I see this topic, I want to study it. When I see that topic, I also have ideas. And by analogy, you can jump to other schools of thought with just a tap of the head——
It's a pity that his energy and manpower are limited, and it is far beyond his ability to start a lot of projects.
"If you don't mind, you can study with us and share the first author -" Mrs. Alva leaned forward, pushed the sugar bowl towards Grete, and extended an olive branch:
"Or, if the subject is relatively large, jointly become the corresponding author. Mr. Nordmark, do you have this intention?"
"That's great!" Gretel's eyes lit up. He is indeed interested in brain waves and other things, but research is relatively low on the list. Being able to leave other schools of thought is a dream:
"Things to note in brainwave research include..."
"Wait, wait." Mrs. Alva clapped her hands funny:
"How to calculate the ratio of manpower and investment? How to distribute the results? Also, should you find a high-level magician to be a witness?"
She glanced sideways at Archmage Grom. A 14th-level magician, necromancy school, and review committee member. The level and status are enough, but he is not your direct teacher——
Speaking of Mage Nordmark, this is a big deal. If you throw it out like this, should you report it to the Lord of Thunder?
Gretel waved his hand nonchalantly. Hey, as long as it's not a subject of the Plasticity Department, the teacher won't care, he can just build it - and it doesn't use the resources of the Thunder Tower. He said very readily:
"I come up with the idea, the spell configuration and detailed analysis of the electrocardiogram, and the analysis of various parts of the brain. You come up with the people and subjects to record and analyze the brain wave patterns. I have the right to share the results and develop the magic. Learn for free and teach it to my disciples and followers. Is that okay?”
This condition is too favorable!
Mrs. Alva looked at Grete in surprise, almost in disbelief.
At her level, the manpower, subjects, and computing power of the tower spirit are all easily available and not difficult. Only R&D ideas and creativity are scarce resources at any time——
Moreover, if the spells developed are related to thinking and emotions, it is conceivable that they all belong to the category of confusion and control. Grete said that it was jointly developed, which meant that he only had the right of authorship.
In her surprised eyes, Gretel smiled sheepishly:
"Of course, during the research process, there may be some auxiliary magic that you may need to help develop -"
"make a deal!"
In less than half an hour, the men and women were sitting neatly in three rows under Mrs. Alva's door. Watching Gretel release [Silent Phantom], he sketched out a three-dimensional model of the brain, piece by piece, giving guidance and explanation:
"The brain mainly includes the left and right cerebral hemispheres, with the cortex on the surface and the medulla on the deep layer..."
"The surface of the brain presents different grooves or fissures. The cerebral hemisphere is divided into five lobes by grooves and fissures: frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and insula, each with different functions..."
"During the activity of the brain, different brain waves are released, which can be monitored by magic... The monitoring points can be on the surface of the skull, or deep inside the skull, reaching every part..."
As he spoke, magic probes were created virtually, and they landed on every partition of the brain. Long light filaments were pulled out from behind the probe, and they were densely connected to a thin screen made of clouds and mist beside him.
The fluctuations inside the brain are transmitted to the cloud screen through light filaments, outlining undulating waveforms. Gretel pointed at the cloud screen, his voice was clear and full of confidence:
"The human brain's thinking, memories, joy, fear, and sadness will all cause corresponding changes in the electric waves."
This has been verified by modern technology. What they have to do is to repeat these efforts and push forward one step further:
"Of course, people's thoughts are very complex, and the radio waves will be diverse. What we need is to record, summarize, and find out the patterns. I believe that one day, we will be able to see what this person is thinking by reading the waveforms. What!"
There is a lecture here, and a magician is working in the torture room next door. Pointing at the brain model outside, he lowered his voice and threatened in a low voice:
"Have you seen that, if you don't tell the truth, this magic will be used against you. At that time, dozens of probes will be inserted into your brain, and your thoughts will be clearly read even if you don't answer... …”
Mrs. Alva was very considerate and adjusted the walls of the interrogation room to be visible in one direction, so that the outside of the reception room could be seen, but the inside of the reception room could not be seen.
Mr. Arezzo could see the huge model of the brain without looking up, and each part was clearly visible.
Although he had not dissected it in detail, he had made a few rough dissections. The model showed that it was exactly the same as the brain structure he knew——
"I don't believe it." He turned pale, turned around, and muttered:
"I don't believe you can tell what I'm thinking with just a magic spell - you are scaring me, you must be scaring me..."
"Mage Nordmark!" The interrogator pushed open the door and walked out. Between the interrogation room and the reception room, two doors were open, allowing Mr. Arezzo to clearly hear their conversation:
"What exactly does an electroencephalogram look like? Can you please demonstrate it? Or instead of demonstrating an electroencephalogram, an electrocardiogram is also acceptable. I would like to explain it by the way -"
Gretel nodded and stood up. A group of students attending the lecture followed him into the interrogation room and stood in a semicircle.
Grete silently released the magic, and soon, a cloud screen half a person's height unfolded silently on Grete's left hand side and Mr. Arezzo's right hand side.
It’s less stressful, so let’s go to the four-lead one first. Grete thought silently, waved his hand, and a ball of light flew out. Soon, waves were jumping up and down on the cloud screen.
"Ah, your heartbeat is a bit fast." Gretel only glanced at the cloud screen and began to analyze casually:
"Look, this line rises and falls regularly, which means the heart goes from contraction to relaxation, and then from relaxation to contraction again. If anyone is curious, you can check his pulse. It is the same as the rise and fall of the ripples..."
Mr. Arezzo turned pale instantly.
He could hold his breath and control himself from screaming, but he couldn't control himself from stopping his heartbeat——
Without anyone checking his pulse, he could feel his heart vibrating in his chest, exactly like the ups and downs of the lines on the screen.
Grete glanced at him vaguely and continued to explain:
"The casting requirements of electroencephalogram are higher than those of electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram can only drop four probes, up to 12 probes, but for brain waves, the area can be evenly divided on the scalp, and 64 probes can be dropped... Of course, if you want Be more accurate and detect the location, preferably deep inside the brain.”
"Hey, why is your blood pressure as high as 200! Come on, someone, do me a favor and do some soothing surgery!"
