Chapter 4 It Works
After quickly finishing the delicious late-night snack, Xin Ji entered the bedroom.
Walking to the wall, a wide bed slid out from behind the wall, Xin Ji lay on the bed, and the big bed automatically adjusted the tilt angle, making him lean more comfortably.
A projection scatters from the ceiling, forming a screen, showing a lot of content.
While digesting food, Xin Ji was aimlessly browsing today's news. Perhaps the recovery effect of that sip of Ningshen tea was too good. After half an hour, he still had no sleepiness, but his mind was extremely clear and clear.
"Hey, there happened to be a Super Star Wars League broadcast live. Southern Cross's 'Flying Eagles' fight against the 'Miners' in Chiwan Space City at home. It must be very exciting! Since you can't sleep, let's take a look. You don't have to go to work tomorrow." Xin Ji was very surprised when he saw a prompt message, and now he couldn't fall asleep.
The Star Wars League is the hottest sports event in the Earth Federation. It is not the first in the Federation. It is an improved battle mode introduced by the Federation after entering the interstellar era and communicating with alien civilizations.
The people participating in the competition are all formal Force Warriors, divided into professional leagues of multiple levels according to their strength, mainly in virtual worlds, including nine-a-side outdoor team battles and five-a-side individual battles.
The event was soon introduced to the Federation and became popular all over the country. For centuries, the Star Wars League has formed a huge cultural feature. Every elementary school, middle school, university, every community, city, and planet has established its own team to participate in amateur or professional competitions of all levels. Now the Star Wars League is everywhere in the daily lives of hundreds of millions of citizens. Elements of the Star Wars League can be seen everywhere on the streets, and countless fanatical fans are available.
Among the events at all levels of the federal level, the one with the highest level, the most audiences, and the one who makes the most money is the Super Star Wars League. The core members of each team are almost all well-known super stars. Their wealth, fame and influence are even better than the top film and television singers!
Xin Ji has liked watching Star Wars League since he was a child and is not a fan of his fan. However, influenced by classmates and friends, he loves the "Pilots" in his hometown of Mars. He will watch the live broadcast of the Pioneers in his spare time.
Because the schedules of major planets in the Federation are not synchronized and are arranged according to the home time, the game was broadcast live late at night on Earth time. Xin Ji watched the entire game with relish, and two more hours passed.
After savoring the exciting part of the game for a while, Xin Ji turned off the screen, the room darkened, and he was ready to go to bed.
However, he tossed and turned on the bed, and he saw that it was almost four in the morning, but he still had no sleepiness.
"What's the situation?" Xin Ji opened his eyes and felt a little helpless. He rarely had insomnia, and something was wrong tonight.
After thinking for a while, Xin Ji thought about the unusual movements he had recently meditated, which was slightly different from his previous feelings. It seemed that he could make a breakthrough at any time, so he decided to practice meditation.
Meditation does not have to be carried out in the sensing compartment. The function of the sensing compartment is to improve the meditation effect, but the use time is limited and cannot exceed the critical point of will. Therefore, many diligent people take a short rest after using the sensing compartment and continue to meditate on the same day. This method is called spontaneous meditation.
Of course, the efficiency of spontaneous meditation is not as effective as in the sensing compartment, but there is no time limit for spontaneous meditation. If you invest several times of energy, the accumulated results can also be as good as meditation in the sensing compartment.
Some people with relatively poor economy cannot afford to use the sensing compartment, or cannot use the sensing compartment for a long time, so they can only make up for it through spontaneous meditation.
Vacuum energy can also be sensed through spontaneous meditation, but it is extremely difficult and extremely rare.
In the early days, before the induction cabin was invented, every Force samurai sensed vacuum energy through spontaneous meditation. As measured by current standards, each of the initial Force samurai was a genius, and most of them later achieved high achievements.
Meditation has developed from the Earth's era and there are many different schools, such as the Visualization School, the Idealist School, the Fetal Breath School, etc. The same meditation will have great differences in the cultivation effects of different people.
At first, all major schools believed that their meditation skills were the best, and there were constant disputes. So the Federation collected a large amount of data, combined with the initial practice experience of the Force Warriors, and finally sorted out seven basic meditation techniques and announced them to all citizens for free.
These seven basic meditation techniques have their own characteristics, regardless of their superiority. Almost all federal citizens can choose one that suits them and are used for practicing meditation.
Xin Ji practiced the "Empty and Ming Rest Method", which is one of the seven basic meditation techniques.
The Kongming Rest Method has the specialties of the Visualization School and the Fetal Breath School. Its biggest advantage is that it is central and peaceful, easy to get started, and it is also the basic meditation technique with the largest number of practitioners in the Earth Federation, accounting for more than 30% of all citizens!
Another advantage of Kongming resting method is that it has no requirements for body posture when meditating, just relax completely.
Xin Ji has been practicing Kongming Rest Method for ten years since he was fifteen years old, and has rich experience.
He didn't even sit up, lying on the bed without moving, closed his eyes, relaxed his whole body, and his breathing gradually became lighter. In less than a minute, he formed a soft, slow, thin, and long breath, as thin as a hairspring, as if there were and not.
In this process, Xin Ji eliminated distracting thoughts little by little, visualized an empty and bright space of consciousness in his mind, and entered a state of emptiness and brightness.
The whole room was in silence and darkness, and the needles were heard. The walls of the room were mixed with a large amount of sound insulation materials. Under the control of the smart home system, all furniture and appliances, including mobile phones, were in a silent and non-disturbing mode. Before Xin Ji left the meditation, he would never make any sound interference.
In the first few minutes, Xin Ji could still hear his faint breathing and his heartbeat.
Gradually, Xin Ji's consciousness became blurred, and he couldn't even hear his breathing and heartbeat, as if he was the only one left in the world, and even time stopped.
"It seems that I didn't enter the state of Kongming so quickly before?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Xin Ji's mind, and it was fleeting. This thought merged into the endless sea of consciousness like a wave.
In the state of emptiness and brightness, it is like a dream, half dreaming and half awake, Xin Ji is subconscious and keeps pursuing in the consciousness space, trying to find the ubiquitous vacuum energy.
In the past, there would be no result in the end.
However, this time it was different.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a vague sense, Xin Ji’s perception became stronger and stronger. His consciousness seemed to be several times more sensitive than when meditating in the sensing compartment. His mind entered a deeper level. Then, at the edge of the consciousness space, the diaphragm that had blocked him for seven years appeared in front of him again.
On this night, Xin Ji's brain was extremely excited, with obsession that lasted for seven years and his perseverance and terrible perseverance burst out without reservation, and he rushed forward and rushed towards the layer of diaphragm.
"Click..."
A sound similar to the object rupture sounded in Xin Ji's mind, and the consciousness space was vibrated continuously. Perhaps after years of impact, the layer of diaphragm was already at the end of its strength, leaving only the last trace of resistance. The seemingly indestructible diaphragm was penetrated by Xin Ji and broke without warning!
The diaphragm disappeared, as if it was wiped away the mist from the glass and tearing off the layer of gauze that blocked the view. The whole world immediately became clear.
At this critical moment, Xin Ji's perception was extremely clear, as if he realized that he was in a dream while dreaming. The ancient well was as calm and natural as he felt, and his perception became more and more acute. The next moment he found a very faint breath floating around him, appearing and disappearing, invisible, without any image, colorless or tasteless, but everywhere.
This breath filled the entire room, and it formed the endless sea of countless extremely tiny vortex cyclones, making people feel extremely small. The cyclones floated around like life, and the rhythm was like waves generated by the sea, whether it was walls or ground, all of them easily penetrated through.
Xin Ji clearly "sees" countless cyclones entering his body and then floats out from the other side. He naturally knows that nothing in the entire universe can stop them because they are the universe itself.
"Vacuum energy!"
"This is vacuum energy!"
Xin Ji shouted silently in surprise in his heart: "I finally feel the vacuum energy!"
These tiny cyclones are the essence of vacuum energy, once called dark energy. Their real size is only one Planckian length, and it is also a meaningful and smallest measurable length. It is precisely they that form an infinite and vast universe space and are also the original driving force for all cosmic movements.
The moment I sensed the vacuum energy, before Xin Ji's surprise fell, a change occurred in his mind!
The calm vacuum energy around him became inexplicably restless, moving and gathering towards him quickly, and quickly formed an invisible and colorless vortex with his brain as the center, and rushed in like a tide.
Unlike the previous penetration of vacuum energy, this time, vacuum energy entered Xin Ji's brain as if it had found home, only entering but not leaving.
"What's going on?"
Xin Ji was shocked. He wanted to become a Force Warrior since he was a child, so he naturally knew the practice steps of Force Warriors. After sensing the vacuum energy, he would choose a technique that matches the gene attributes, absorb the vacuum energy and combine it with body stem cells to generate the Force, and condense the Force nodes in various parts of the body.
I have not had genetic attribute testing and no exercises, so it is impossible to practice.
"The brain absorbs vacuum energy. This situation is a bit like practicing mind power, but the prerequisites for practicing mind power must at least break through to the advanced warriors and reach the level of generals. What's wrong with me?"
Xin Ji was a little panicked. As more and more vacuum energy was absorbed by his brain, he found that his consciousness space was expanding rapidly, his consciousness became clearer, and his thinking was as fast as lightning. This seemed to be a good thing, but it was not controlled by himself, and he could not withdraw from the meditation state.
Time flies, and memory retracing quickly reaches the end. On this day when Xin Ji signed an agreement with the martial arts hall, and then went home to sense the vacuum energy.
Driving a maglev motorcycle home, washing up, having midnight snacks, watching the Super Star Wars League, turning off the lights, entering meditation... The picture is frozen at the moment when Xin Ji was lying on the bed. After a moment, the time of memory retracing finally synchronized with the real time.
Xin Ji found that he had finally stopped absorbing vacuum energy, and the invisible storm immediately dissipated, and he successfully withdrew from the meditation state.
Chapter completed!
