Chapter 2443 The Monkey Effect (1)
At this moment, Professor Leonardo da Vinci was sitting at a metal table made of a special alloy, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
He spoke slowly, his tone low and magnetic: "Zhang Yi, do you know about the 'hundred monkeys effect'?"
Zhang Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.
Professor Leonardo da Vinci smiled and drew an arc in the air with his pen.
"The Hundred Monkeys Effect is a psychology and group consciousness experiment from the last century. Scientists observed a troop of monkeys on a deserted island, and they taught one of the monkeys how to use tools to wash sweet potatoes."
"What's amazing is that once the hundredth monkey learned this behavior, the other monkeys that had never been in contact with the monkey troop on the island also began to spontaneously imitate this behavior."
He paused, his eyes flashing with a meaningful light: "At that moment, for the first time, humanity suspected that consciousness—or rather, the collective unconscious—is interconnected on some deeper level. It is not merely a matter of individuals, but a psychological resonance that transcends time and space."
Brian grinned and joked, "Professor, are you saying that our brains are all sharing WiFi?"
Professor Leonardo da Vinci smiled faintly, but did not deny it: "In a sense, that is indeed the case."
He reached out and tapped the table.
The projection system lit up instantly, displaying a model of the human brain, with neuronal dots jumping like stars.
"Now that you think about it, humans were conducting embryo experiments to extract fragments of ether—an extremely high-dimensional crystallization of psionic energy that originated from the backflow of cosmic consciousness."
"If this energy combines with human genes, it can generate superpowers and allow people to access higher spiritual dimensions."
A look of curiosity flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes: "You mean... the act of conducting large-scale embryo experiments will affect all of humanity?"
"exactly."
Professor Leonardo da Vinci adjusted his glasses, his voice gradually lowering, "When a group collectively engages in high-dimensional consciousness intervention—especially at the levels of life, soul, and spirit—it will evoke resonance within the 'collective unconscious.'"
"Even though people from different countries and individuals do not know each other, their brains, emotions, and dreams resonate in the same quantum sea of consciousness."
Zhang Yi rubbed his chin and said calmly, "So... the numerous experiments conducted in the embryology lab are like implanting a piece of viral code into the entire human brain?"
Professor Leonardo da Vinci nodded, his expression serious: "That's right. Even the energy fluctuations of just a few thousand embryos can spread unconsciously, affecting the mental frequency of the entire human race. Those fluctuations in nightmares, hallucinations, violent impulses, and the awakening of superpowers may all be related to this potential interference."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er frowned: "Doesn't that mean that humanity has already been unknowingly polluted by the things it created?"
"pollute?"
Professor Leonardo da Vinci sighed softly, a hint of coldness in his smile. "Perhaps we should call it resonance. It's a side effect of evolution. The closer humanity gets to the realm of the divine, the more likely it is to touch the boundaries of the subconscious of the entire race. Fluctuations in consciousness can transmit not only thoughts, but also—chaos."
He spread his hands and said, "You all already know about the existence of ether, and you also understand that the essence of humanity is a fragment of ether."
"We all belong to one whole. So isn't it normal to have common ground?"
It involved advanced scientific knowledge, but Zhang Yi felt that this phenomenon was unusual.
"Is it because humanity as a whole has sensed the impending crisis and is therefore forcibly evolving?"
He then smiled and shook his head: "Who cares! If six generations can become stronger because of this, it's a good thing."
After all, different countries are just competing with each other, and rarely intend to completely exterminate a race.
But when the enemy becomes another human race, it could very well be a war of annihilation.
When disaster struck, the six generations became each other's support.
The outside world has changed, and Zhang Yi himself has changed too.
He didn't plan to go to the Dragon Clan for the time being. After resting for a day, he immediately locked himself in a huge, empty underground practice room.
He retrieved Ling from the alternate dimension and used her to guide him.
This gain is not just about resources and power; he wants to integrate these powers into his own so that he can truly control his own destiny.
……
Northern Europe, Baitigang.
After the Ice Age, a cold and desolate atmosphere has always permeated this place.
Even the sacred headquarters of the Holy See appears unusually cold due to its preference for white.
Although the Monarchs do not adhere to asceticism like the Bharatas, they still maintain a tradition of worshipping God.
They believed that the Son of God had suffered torture and died to atone for the sins of the world.
So on the surface, they weren't really immersed in enjoying themselves.
However, comfortable heating and fireplaces were installed in the residences of the bishops, priests, and members of the Knights Templar.
As snow fell heavily, a red figure stepped into the front of St. Peter's Basilica.
Cardinal Arnold Orib, the leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Death Knight, codenamed Michael, walked solemnly toward the church, carrying a thick Bible in his hands.
He came to the foot of the steps in front of St. Peter's Basilica, bowed, and then said:
“Your Holiness, Sister Leibniz has returned from the moon! She and Father Orion have completed their mission.”
"I have important intelligence that I need to report to you in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Scripture in his hand suddenly trembled, and a white, transparent spirit flew out of the Holy Scripture and slowly landed beside him.
It was the Plague Knight who mourned Sister Leibniz.
At that time, she and O'Leon were facing an encirclement and suppression by Zhang Yi and others. The situation was urgent, and there was no time to perform a spatial transfer and return.
So Orion sacrificed himself, using a forbidden method: abandoning Leibniz's physical body and transferring only his spirit.
A spirit is a combination of ether and memory. It is a higher-dimensional being, so it can transcend the limitations of space and time. Even across a distant universe, it can be sent back according to the coordinates of Bydigo.
Sister Leibniz stood in front of the cathedral, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Your Majesty, Father Orion has been killed in battle. The perpetrators were Chaos of the Kingdom of Huaxu, the Knights of the Round Table of Britannia, Saladin of the Kuton Empire, and the Natural Science Society of Colombia."
"Despite facing encirclement and suppression from multiple powerful enemies, we have lived up to your expectations and completed the collection mission."
