Chapter 1843: The Madman's Journey (Twenty-One)

Chapter 1817 The Journey of a Madman (Twenty-one)

After figuring out the whole story, Stark immediately began to study the evil ghost sent by Nick, but his research on ghosts was definitely different from that of the wizards, and he emphasized a scientific analysis method.

After doing many sets of experiments, Stark found that ghosts were not that mysterious. To put it bluntly, they were still related to the earth's magnetic field.

As we all know, the earth is a very special planet in the solar system, and the most special thing about it is its magnetic field. To some extent, the earth can become the only planet in the solar system that has evolved life, and its unique magnetic field is the most important contributor.

However, most creatures on earth cannot sense the magnetic field. A small number of them may have instincts and will reproduce and thrive following the changes in the magnetic field, but basically they cannot see this mysterious power with the naked eye.

But after the rapid development of technology on Earth, many scientists have also turned their attention to this mysterious field, and then they found that humans have become the only creatures with advanced intelligence among all life forms, or the reason why human intelligence is far ahead may be that human brain waves will react with the earth's magnetic field, from which the "soul theory" can be deduced.

Stark therefore thought that if human brain waves exist independently from the body, would they become ghosts?

But this was denied by Mephisto. In the words of the Lord of Hell, the so-called brain waves are actually souls.

On Earth, human souls can hardly exist independently from the body, unless their bodies die, the souls will be retained for a short time.

Ghosts are different. Ghosts are souls that have undergone certain mutations, which Stark calls frequency modulation, so that they can stay on Earth for such a long time.

Mutated souls are difficult for the devil to swallow, so hell does not accept ghosts, and ghosts wander around the earth unscrupulously.

As for the so-called abnormality and frequency modulation, Stark guessed that it was the wavelength and frequency of the brain waves that reacted with the magnetic field of the environment at that time, and were adjusted to the degree that was just right to exist in this environment, so ghosts could exist in a certain environment.

The principle of ghost possession is also very simple. It is nothing more than that the brain waves of living people and ghosts have reached a certain agreement in some aspects, and the two are integrated to some extent.

When Nick asked if he could use the ability of ghost possession, Stark gave a negative answer.

Because according to his research, when the brain waves of ghosts and humans are partially integrated, ghosts think they have become humans, and humans think they have become ghosts. In layman's terms, they can't do anything to either side, so except for some obsessions and instincts, they can hardly execute any orders well.

Nick sighed, and the ghost escaped.

When Nick asked Schiller to go to other universes to take out the garbage, he briefly explained this theory to Schiller. He thought it was just to satisfy Schiller's curiosity, but he forgot that Schiller was a psychologist. Which psychologist is not interested in brain waves?

How human consciousness came into being and what causes it to change are almost compulsory propositions for every psychologist, especially the latter, which is an indispensable part of applied psychology.

Stark's theory gave Schiller a new possibility.

If all human emotional activities are brain waves, with their own frequencies and wavelengths, can we affect people's emotions by modifying the frequencies and wavelengths?

This topic is actually a bit similar to, if it is difficult for chemical fuel rockets to fly to Mars, can humans evolve two strong legs to jump on Mars.

Influencing people's emotions from the perspective of psychological counseling is much simpler than studying topics such as modifying brain waves. If it were in the original world, Schiller would not waste time studying such things, because with his professional level, there are basically no patients he cannot change.

But then again, his original world was an ordinary world after all, and the biggest disaster was the war between humans, or some vicious crimes.

But the comic world is different. With superheroes, human internal fighting can be very fierce. Sometimes there is Cthulhu invasion, sometimes there is zombie virus spread, and aliens are messing around every few days. The upper limit of human mental illness has been raised a lot, and ordinary psychological treatment methods may not be effective.

For example, Spider-Man in the zombie universe, how could Schiller meet someone who went crazy because he ate his relatives countless times in his original world?

This situation is unique in the comic world, and the difficulty of treatment is quite bizarre, so the treatment methods cannot be too ordinary, and must be used to the fullest extent, in sufficient quantity and for a long time.

When Schiller recalled the experience of Spider-Man in the zombie universe, he knew that conventional methods would definitely not work on his psychological shadow, and he was not arrogant enough to think that such scars could be completely erased by talking therapy alone, which is completely anti-human.

However, it is still a mystery how effective psychotherapeutic drugs will be on Spider-Man, so drug treatment is not a reliable alternative. At this moment, the brain wave theory mentioned by Nick is almost the only option.

When it comes to brain waves, one person must be mentioned, that is Professor X. After all, it is mentioned in the comics that Professor X's mind-reading ability is actually based on brain waves, and he also has a famous artifact, which is the brain wave amplifier.

In this way, before setting off for the zombie universe, Schiller and Charles made an appointment to meet at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and proposed to visit the brain wave amplifier.

What's interesting is that although each universe in the comics is set differently, at least in the universe where Schiller is located, Magneto participated in the manufacture of the brain wave amplifier.

In other words, the theory proposed by Stark has the possibility of further exploration, because if brain waves and magnetic fields have nothing to do with each other, how can Magneto help the manufacture of brain wave amplifiers?

After arriving at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Schiller enthusiastically proposed to go to the brain wave amplifier to take a look, but Professor X took out a hat and put it on his head.

Then Schiller realized that because of his influence, Magneto and Professor X, the two old enemies, had resolved their conflicts prematurely and reached an agreement, that is, Magneto would go to the Andromeda Galaxy to open up a new home, and Professor X would stay on Earth to collect and cultivate fresh mutant blood.

After the two hit it off, it was really like a reunion, and they returned to the passionate love period overnight.

At the beginning, Magneto built the brain wave amplifier to enhance the ability of his friend, but the conditions were limited at that time, and it was good enough to be able to make it, let alone portability.

But with the progress of Marvel's materials science and technology, Magneto saw that this must be a comprehensive upgrade of his gift?

So he made a portable version of the brain wave amplifier, and also upgraded the original one. As for how terrible it can expand Professor X's ability, I am afraid only the two of them know.

Schiller fiddled with the portable version of the brainwave amplifier and felt a little curious. He didn't quite understand the principle behind it, so he asked Charles if he could take it apart to see. Charles readily agreed because there was more than one of this thing.

Schiller let Gray Mist swallow the portable version of the brainwave amplifier. The two studied the structure together and found that the principle was actually based on Stark's theory.

Human brainwaves are affected by magnetic fields and react to them in some way. If you want to amplify human brainwaves, you have to create a special magnetic field around them. This is obviously Magneto's professional field.

So in fact, the so-called brainwave amplifier is a special magnetic field generating device that works automatically. When Professor X wears it, this magnetic field will connect to the earth's magnetic field, allowing Professor X's brainwaves to directly connect to the earth's magnetic field. Therefore, there is a saying that Professor X can brainwash all mankind by wearing a brainwave amplifier.

Because Professor X's brainwaves connected to the earth's magnetic field can reversely affect the brainwaves of all mankind along the earth's magnetic field, so naturally it can brainwash all mankind.

After learning this, Schiller understood that if he wanted to carry out the so-called brain wave therapy, he must have the ability to create a magnetic field, because the magnetic field is the simplest way to affect brain waves.

But Schiller is not Magneto after all, and controlling magnetic force is not his specialty, so Schiller's plan at the time was to bring the heroes of the zombie universe over and let Magneto give them a wave of physical therapy.

But at this time, Gray Mist told Schiller that he could also generate a magnetic field, but he did not control electromagnetic force, but generated electromagnetic force by manipulating particles to generate electromagnetic effects.

Schiller instinctively felt that the word "generate" was a bit problematic, but he did not think much about it, but decided to concentrate on solving the problem at hand.

But at this time, Schiller, who was a mental patient with broad thinking, came up with a new idea, which was to combine the ghost theory with the brain wave magnetic field theory.

It is known that magnetic fields affect brain waves, and special brain waves affected by special magnetic fields are ghosts, and he can create various magnetic fields, so can he turn himself into a ghost by creating special magnetic fields?

The more Schiller thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, but he was not sure whether he was one soul or multiple souls, whether he had one brain wave or multiple brain waves.

The moment he thought of this question, Charles gave an answer. He even said to Schiller kindly: "In fact, every time you switch your personality, I can feel it immediately. I also numbered each of your personalities to prevent them from being impolite with the same attitude."

"In theory, I can only distinguish them so clearly if the brain waves of each of your personality traits are different - each of your personality traits has different brain waves."

Schiller immediately understood. This was absolutely good news for him, because if he only had one soul, then it would be meaningless to become a ghost and abandon his body.

But he had many brain waves that could be changed, which only meant one thing - Schiller... was free!

Freedom!
