Chapter: 59

Without entering virtual reality, brain overclocking can also be achieved in the real world. Whether from a hardware or software perspective, the principles are no different. The only difference is whether one's consciousness enters virtual reality with a faster flow of time.

However, there is a practicality issue when it comes to brain overclocking in the real world. After brain overclocking, it is true that the experiencer can achieve faster reaction speed and more agile logical thinking. When a second of physical sensation is stretched 1000 times, everything around appears to be in a state of stillness. Even when facing bullets fired by a sniper, the experiencer has a chance to dodge, which becomes a significant advantage in combat.

However, this also places a tremendous burden on the body. Without the assistance of a nutrient hibernation chamber, even Captain America with the Super Soldier Serum can't last more than 4 seconds. But in the real world, how could someone who needs to apply this technology in combat lie in a hibernation chamber?

If a warrior's consciousness is loaded onto a combat robot using brain-machine interface technology and accelerated simultaneously, then it essentially becomes the same as acceleration in virtual reality. This does not represent a breakthrough.

Mark even believes that instead of accelerating the consciousness of combat personnel and transferring it to combat robots, it would be better to convert their combat experience into programs and accelerate it through the robot's computational core. This way, not only can war machines be mass-produced, but it can also surpass the physiological limits of the brain's 1000-fold acceleration.

Moreover, the main reason Mark wants to overcome the physiological and technical limitations of brain overclocking in the real world is for his unreliable father. After all, the guy likes to put on his battle suit and personally join the fight. If it were possible to add this acceleration function to his combat suit, it might just save his life in critical moments.

"Daydreaming won't work since there's no supporting data. Even if I racked my brains, it wouldn't yield any results. I can only give it a try.

Baymax, I'm going to activate the reality acceleration function on the virtual reality console later. I'm granting you termination authorization for the system. Help me monitor my body and collect data on various physiological indicators. If my body faces a breakdown, terminate the experiment in advance."

(●─●) "Understood, Master. Baymax is ready, termination authorization received successfully. The experiment can begin at any time."

Mark nodded and found an empty space in the laboratory to prevent himself from hitting any hard objects if he couldn't bear it and fainted. After taking a few deep breaths repeatedly, Mark finally adjusted his state and gradually relaxed his serious expression. "Begin the experiment!"

After saying that, Mark raised his hand and pressed the reality acceleration button on the virtual reality console on his head. Buzz—! Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in his head, as if someone had hit him with a pillow.

After slightly adapting to the feeling of brain overclocking in the real world, the dizziness and blurred vision quickly disappeared. Mark, who had recovered, began to observe his surroundings. After brain overclocking, his perception seemed to have been amplified. The barely visible dust particles in the air were now clearly visible to him. A small flying insect hovering not far away seemed frozen in the air, maintaining its wing-flapping posture without any movement.

Mark attempted to reach out and grab the little insect to observe it closely but immediately felt as if his body was sinking into a quagmire. It not only felt extremely heavy but also came with a strong sticky resistance, making Mark very uncomfortable.

"It seems that my consciousness speed now far exceeds the limits of my physical abilities. The instructions sent by the brain pass through the neurons, the body reacts, and finally, actions are produced. The elongation of this series of mechanisms' time due to overclocking makes my brain feel like it's moving in slow motion, causing the sensation of a heavy and uncontrollable body."

"If I exert force right now, it is very likely to cause a severe muscle strain. It seems like this is also a problem that needs to be solved. Under the overclocking of the brain, even if the body receives any injury, the time for nerve endings to transmit information will be extended by a factor of 1000, preventing the brain from activating protective mechanisms. There needs to be an action mechanism to coordinate the agile brain with the sluggish body."

However, Mark didn't continue thinking further. These problems could be pondered later in the virtual laboratory. For now, it was important to discover as many issues as possible in order to improve this technology.

Without forcefully moving his body, Mark maintained slow motion and slowly reached out to capture the small flying insect. He did this to collect data on body movement speed, which could be extracted from the recorded data by Baymax as a reference for body coordination mechanisms.

After experiencing more than ten minutes in this slow motion, Baymax terminated the brain overclocking experiment, bringing Mark back from the accel world.

When coming out, the sensation was like diving into a swimming pool from a ten-meter diving platform and then floating up. First, there was a period of tightly enveloped stillness, then everything around started to become noisy. It felt as if the body had broken through the water's surface, and all resistance disappeared.

However, reality didn't match Mark's pleasant feeling. As soon as he exited the accelerated world, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and didn't hit anything.

As the sense of time returned to normal, the body's senses gradually began to provide feedback to Mark's still somewhat confused brain. "Ssshh!" A sudden surge of sour freshness struck his soul, and even his temples felt a piercing pain.

Mark couldn't care about anything else and quickly crawled into the nutrient hibernation chamber, activated the virtual reality mode, blocked out the cries of his body, and allowed the nutrient fluid to repair his body.

In the virtual laboratory, finally freed from the heart-wrenching pain just now, Mark let out a long breath, touched the nonexistent cold sweat on his forehead, and said with lingering fear, "Next time, I must find someone else to be my guinea pig. I don't want to personally go into battle. Baymax, transfer the data to me. I want to see if the data I sacrificed so much for is truly valuable."
