Ms. Zhang Xin, please cooperate with the treatment! (Chapter 168)
At the same time that the Science Administrator was ordered to be executed by the Trisolaran leader, something he had devoted his entire life to was successfully replicated in the Trisolaran fleet.
Packaging box!
This is a force field device. Its principle is not complicated, but its design is quite ingenious.
The packaging box has six sides and is shaped like a cube. At the junction of each side, there is a vertical emitter that can absorb energy, forming a diagonal shape, just like a packaging box for parcels, hence the name.
When the switch at the bottom is activated, the enclosure will release a force field that can absorb and convert energy from the four corners of the cube in opposite directions. Then, when internal energy is given to a force field device, the energy will be returned to the device itself from the outside.
How to describe it... the inspiration for this thing comes from non-Newtonian fluids.
From the outside, this thing can be easily passed through, but getting out from the inside is not so easy.
Because no matter whether you apply kinetic energy from within or attack with laser-type weapons, you will eventually be trapped and killed by the force field itself.
It's like punching yourself with your own fist; trying to destroy this device from the inside using only energy is extremely difficult.
However, it can be opened or closed at will from the outside, and passing through this force field is completely opposite to the inside.
Its sensitivity is extremely high. Even if you want to pass through it slowly like a non-Newtonian fluid, or even if you stand still, this thing itself has a certain energy dilution.
This thing was initially developed to be used to encapsulate some of the Trisolarans' antimatter bombs.
These bombs are extremely unstable. Only by encapsulating them with a special force field can their energy be locked in. Ordinary materials are either too hard, which would affect the bomb's power, or too fragile, which would easily cause the energy inside to leak out.
The Trisolarans once researched a Deathbomb, but before they could even use it, the container they were encapsulating was corroded, causing it to explode in their own home.
The end result was that half the planet was plunged into a fifteen-year electromagnetic paralysis, almost causing the development of the Second Fleet to be aborted.
Therefore, under the leadership of the science administrator, the force field device, the encapsulation box, was put into research.
However, as the research progressed, the Science Administrator and a group of Trisolaran researchers discovered that this thing also seemed to be very useful as a weapon.
It can directly imprison enemy ships in an area, and even upgrade the force field shields of their own ships based on this technology.
With such a powerful force field, even a regular fleet would be easily restricted in its movements. If this thing were used against a person, the opponent would probably have no chance of escape, even if they had wings.
……
“Ms. Cheng Xin, if you don’t cooperate, we’re in a difficult position.”
The staff member looked at Cheng Xin, whose eyes were vacant, and said helplessly.
"According to our diagnosis, you suffered severe PTSD before hibernation, and your body and mind were severely damaged. Although we have completed the repair work on the damaged parts of your body during hibernation, your mind is still in an extremely pathological state and you need to complete psychological treatment immediately."
Cheng Xin listened to the staff member's words and shook her head repeatedly, muttering to herself.
"No...kill me, let me be free, I don't want to live anymore!"
The staff member gave a wry smile.
Cheng Xin, a hibernator with suicidal tendencies, is one of the three hibernators she has met this month.
Before they hibernated, they lived in a hopeless era with no future in sight, so it's normal for them to have suicidal tendencies. All that's needed is to simply implant some memories into them.
Once they witness the beauty of the deterrent era, they will immediately recover from their despair and their illness will be cured.
But Cheng Xin is an exception.
When the staff tried to put the brain-connected SuperDream client on her to transfer memories as usual, Cheng Xin's body showed extreme resistance, and she even had a strange twitching reaction.
Generally, this is a physiological reaction that only occurs when they see something that terrifies them.
But how is this possible?
Cheng Xin is actually afraid of the Dream World?
It's as ridiculous as someone being afraid of light bulbs.
To those in the Deterrence Era, the Dream World and the Brain Network are perfectly normal things in daily life. Even if hibernators are initially uncomfortable with them, they will soon find them appealing.
But what's going on with Cheng Xin?
Is her body clearly rejecting her use of the brain-computer interface?
This is too bizarre!
After all, Cheng Xin was a person who hibernated during the Crisis Era, and at that time, the Super Dream Database was only used by some high-ranking members of the PDC.
However, after checking Cheng Xin's identity and discovering that she was actually a science and technology advisor for PIA, they simply assumed that she had also used the Dream World by chance.
But that doesn't make sense either. If Cheng Xin had been lucky enough to use the Dream World, she should have loved the technology. Why would she feel fear instead?
This was a very difficult situation, as no one had ever encountered a patient like this before, and for a moment, no one had any good solutions.
“Ms. Cheng Xin, if you don’t cooperate with the treatment, we really can’t help you. Don’t be afraid, the Dream World won’t do anything to you. You just need to wear the device and we will automatically delete the painful memories for you.”
"The entire memory erasure process will not exceed twenty seconds, and the person undergoing the memory erasure will experience no pain whatsoever!"
The staff member's last words seemed to trigger a nerve in Cheng Xin. She suddenly jumped up from the hospital bed, grabbed an IV tube, and was about to stab it into her heart!
"Stop her quickly!"
The staff were startled and quickly pinned Cheng Xin to the ground. Instantly, four or five people restrained her hands and feet, ensuring she could not commit suicide before they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The entire euthanasia process will not exceed twenty seconds, and the person undergoing euthanasia will experience no pain whatsoever!"
These words, like a curse, kept repeating in Cheng Xin's mind, over and over again, like the whisper of a demon.
"It seems the only option is to forcibly erase her memories."
The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
In modern society, psychotherapy has been gradually replaced by memory stripping in the dream world.
People have gradually abandoned this ancient method of gradually repairing psychological issues, and instead have chosen a faster way—memory erasure.
As long as painful memories in the mind are deleted using the Super Dream database, the patient will be a lively and energetic young man again in less than twenty seconds.
However, Cheng Xin has always shown strong resistance to the Super Dream World, which makes everyone feel at a loss.
Now, seeing her condition deteriorate to this extent, the staff had no choice but to administer sleeping pills to her to force her memory to be erased, in order to eliminate her painful memories.
