Chapter 56: Time and Space Derangement Syndrome
Space-time disorder syndrome (also known as: ectopic travel discomfort)
Multiple people: time and space travelers and their related personnel.#This chapter is hit by the wind#
Symptoms: The symptoms are confusing reality, creating an illusion for everything around you, and being unable to distinguish the authenticity of the world you live in, as well as the difference between reality and fictional world. In severe cases, it can lead to a series of complications such as mental breakdown, schizophrenia, nerve numbness, and neurasthenia.
Causes of the disease: This disease usually only occurs in space and time travelers who are first traveling in time and space, and the incidence rate of followers recruited in natives of alien planes and ancient planes is relatively high.
Especially people with good psychological qualities are more likely to develop the disease. According to research, those with poor psychological qualities will often immediately show signs such as shock, ecstasy, fear after traveling in time and space. Because they can effectively release the surprise and panic in their hearts, they are generally unlikely to get this disease. Instead, those with good psychological qualities will subconsciously suppress the psychological impact and vibrations they receive. If they are subjected to similar impacts and vibrations continuously, they are likely to suffer from this disease if they are not released for a long time, and the circumstances are often more serious.
Suggested handling method:
(1) Silence: Quickly kill those suffering from this disease to avoid unnecessary trouble and unpredictable consequences.
(2) Space-time theory education: It is educated on space-time theory, and through the description of historical processes, it understands the differences between reality and virtual worlds (this method is only valid for ancient plane natives).
(3) Forced sleep: According to the author's research, after dying or hypnotizing the patient with medication, there is a certain chance of restoring his/her mind (and it may also worsen the condition).
ps: If none of the above three treatment methods cannot be implemented or the treatment results are achieved, please use the time and space gate to isolate it in space to avoid threatening the health of others by those suffering from this disease. If you have any doubts about the above content, please contact the author for a discussion.
Lin Tianyu put down the "Time and Space Travel Guide" and thought to himself that this matter is really a scam, and he actually made himself suffer!
He also saw this thing when he read this book, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time because in his opinion, it seemed a bit unimaginable for such things as space-time disorder syndrome. After all, although time-space travel made him shocked and excited, it was completely impossible to suffer from mental illness because of it.
But he ignored that he was a modern man who had been in contact with science fiction movies, science fiction novels (online novels) and various strange ideas for a long time. Although he had never done time and space travel before, he had been exposed to these things through various forms and channels, so he would not be too shocked. However, for Alex, who lived in the ancient Roman era for the rest of his life, the series of shocks after coming to Lin Tianyu's world made him completely excited.
If ordinary people yell at this time, it might be fine, but the education Alex received made him always hide his mind and try to show himself to be a normal person. However, it is because of this suppression that he has become increasingly suspicious of the authenticity of the world. Once he can't suppress it, he will burst out all of them all at once.
The game God of War is exactly the last straw that broke the camel's back and it is also the key to this disease.
Kratos also experienced various hardships in the plot of the game and traveled through time and space, which led to him linking himself with Kratos in the game during the game. He completely immersed his psychology in Kratos. It is precisely because of this that he completely could not control his spirit.
Lin Tianyu was also a little panicked at this moment. He thought about it and could not choose the first choice. After all, he finally found a suitable guard like Alex, and the two of them had some friendship after being together for so long, which could be regarded as a friend's relationship. He naturally could not accept it by asking him to kill Alex.
He was not ready to use forced sleep, but the above said that the consequences were unsure. If Alex woke up and became a madman, it would be too late to cry.
Therefore, the only remaining option is to use space-time theory education.
For the treatment process described in the book, it must first resonate with Alex and give him a clear position on his identity. So what can resonate with Alex?
Lin Tianyu thought about it and decided to find a movie for Alex to watch. This was the only way he could think of. Lin Tianyu's computer stored many movies, which were used for his daily entertainment. Some of the more classic ones were deliberately preserved by him. For a man, there is no doubt that classic war blockbusters are indispensable.
He searched inside, and the name of a movie suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Gladiator"!
What else can resonate with Alex better than this? After all, like the protagonist in the film, he has served in the Roman Legion and fought on the sands of the Colosseum.
He dragged Alex to the sofa in front of the computer and turned on the computer.
"Okay, I hope this will help you recover." He said as he turned on the movie, then sat quietly aside and observed Alex's reaction.
The movie "Gladiator" is a very classic epic blockbuster. Lin Tianyu has watched it many times and can almost be said to have memorized the plot. When I see it again, I think of a living ancient Roman centurion sitting beside me, and I feel very interesting.
In the sound of music, the first thing that appears in the picture is a background introduction.
The territory of the Roman Empire at its heyday extended from the African desert to the northern border of England. The Roman emperor even mastered the life and death of one-third of the world's population. In the winter of 180 AD, Emperor Aurilles's twelfth year of war and the action to attack the German barbarian tribes was about to end. As long as the last stronghold was cleared, the Roman army would win and the empire would enjoy peace forever.
Before the movie began, just this background introduction attracted Alex's attention.
"Rome!" Lin Tianyu heard the unconscious thoughts in his mouth, and Yong was in Latin.
The first shot on the screen is a hand.
A thick and powerful hand, this hand gently brushed across a land where barley grew. The golden barley was growing well and could be harvested. This plant, which was particularly suitable for growing in cold places, was one of the main foods of the Romans. Alex's blurred eyes gradually became focused, and the picture seemed to touch him.
But at this moment, the camera suddenly turned, and the originally warm picture became gloomy. He stood alone in the desolate wilderness. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, wearing a beautiful set of armor. The style of the armor was a typical Roman style. Alex was attracted suddenly, and his gaze gradually focused on the person wearing armor.
As the picture moved, a whole Roman army gradually appeared in front of the two. Looking at the Roman soldiers who were preparing for war, Alex's spirit became tense.
As the plot developed, when he saw Roman soldiers fighting with barbarians, Alex suddenly became quiet. He leaned forward and looked at the scene of fighting. His eyes became clearer, as if he was gradually integrating into the plot, but his body was still motionless.
Alex always maintained this position for nearly three hours of film until the end of the film, and he suddenly sighed, "That's not the Rome I remember."
"That was Rome decades after your time, and you should notice that the Colosseum was already built by that time."
Alex was silent for a while, as if he was still digesting what he saw. "Tell me, what happened to Rome after?"
The political system created by Augustus, known in history as the head of the head system, is actually an imperial system in the name of the republic.
During his reign, he implemented a series of active reforms, which promoted economic and social development. He also expanded externally, so that the northern border of the empire reached the Rhine and Danube. After Augustus' death, his adopted son Tiberius succeeded to the throne and created the system of succession to the throne. From 27 BC to 192 AD, this period was called the early imperial period, including the era where you were. There were 3 dynasties: the Claudi Dynasty, the Flavi Dynasty and the Anthony Dynasty. The society was relatively stable during this period. When the Anthony Emperor Trajan (98-117), the empire reached its largest territory: from Spain in the west, Britain in the east, to the upper reaches of the Euphrates in the south, from northern Africa in the north, and from the Rhine and Danube in the north.
In the river area, the Mediterranean became the inland sea of the empire. The economy was prosperous unprecedentedly. Christianity rose in the middle of the 1st century AD and spread rapidly in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. In 192, after the last emperor of the Anthony dynasty, Commod (the one in the movie), was assassinated, Rome had nearly a hundred years of chaos. Historians called the establishment of the Severu dynasty in 193, and this period was called the late imperial period by 235. The social, economic and military crises that began in the late Anthony dynasty reached an unprecedented scale in the 3rd century AD, so that some historians drew a crisis period of the third century (193-284). During this period, wars continued frequently, emperors changed frequently, and uprisings of slaves and peasants spread all over the country.
The Bagodah movement, which began in Gaul in the 1960s, posed a great threat to the rule of the ruling class. In 284, the commander of the Guard Diocletian was supported by the army to become the emperor, obtained the imperial regime, changed the head system to the Dominant system (i.e., the monarchy), and formally adopted the ruling form and etiquette of the Eastern monarch. Many reforms were implemented, known as Diocletian's reform. His successor Constantine I abolished the four emperors' co-governance system and became the only monarch in 324, and the imperial power was strengthened. In 330, he moved the capital to Byzantine and changed its name to Constantinople. In 313, he issued the Milan Edict to recognize the legal status of Christianity. After his death, war broke out again, which dealt a heavy blow to the Roman Empire. After the death of Theodosio I in 395, he unified the
The empire was divided into two parts: the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. In the Western Roman Empire, the economy continued to be in crisis, the population decreased, the fields were deserted, and the urban and rural areas were depressed, and the rule was weakened. In 410, the Visigoths occupied Rome for a time. In 452, the Huns Attila entered Italy. In 455, the Vandals attacked Italy and then captured the city of Rome. They successively established barbarian countries such as the Vandal-Alan Kingdom, the Burgundy Kingdom and the Ottoman Kingdom. In September 476, the Germans invaded, and their mercenary leader Odoak deposed the last monarch, Romulus Augustulus, and the Western Roman Empire was declared destruction. The Eastern Roman Empire lasted until 1453 and was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire.
This record was actually copied to mp5 by Lin Tianyu directly searched it from Baidu. He read it according to the script. Although there was no sense of emotion, Alex listened extremely seriously, and the more he listened, the more he became silent.
"So Rome has long perished."
"Indeed, although Rome was destroyed, the Roman race has been passed down, that is, modern Italians, and perhaps you can also regard them as your own compatriots."
Seeing that Alex still had a deep and cold expression, Lin Tianyu was already a little impatient when he didn't say a silent sentence.
He patted the other person on the shoulder and stared at the other person in the eyes, "Listen to Alex, I haven't told you some things, because I think you may not be interested in these things, or maybe it's because I think it's not the time yet, but since we'll be together for a long time in the future, I think it's time to tell me my identity."
"Maybe everything you see when you come to this world is surprised, from cars to TVs, from gas stoves to gates of time and space, but some of them are unimaginable even for people in this world, and the vibrations to them will not be less than you."
"For example, the Gate of Time and Space?" Alex said suddenly. He was not stupid at all.
"That's right, that's right, and that's why I always hide these two doors and don't make people discover it. My identity, the time traveler, is also unimaginable for people in this world, and can almost be regarded as a legendary figure."
Alex nodded, "I can probably imagine it."
"That's good, I think we can save a lot of trouble this way." Lin Tianyu continued.
"As a time traveler, I will travel and adventure in various strange worlds in the future. As my guard, you will also see various strange worlds and face all kinds of strange enemies. Some may be a thousand times more surprising than what you see now, and some have never even heard of them."
"I want to make a statement here that I am not a merciless person, but what I do need is a loyal guard who can remain calm, rather than a pitiful follower who may collapse at any time. If you really cannot adjust your mindset and cannot adapt to this drastic change, then I can be a good person, I will send you back to your era and give you some money, and you can treat the experience of this world as a dream and forget it from now on. But if you choose to continue to follow me, then you must control yourself and become my help rather than trouble in the adventure journey."
After saying this, Lin Tianyu looked at Alex sincerely, trying to see something from his silent expression.
However, the latter's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were even more calm than ever before.
"I once vowed to protect your safety until I complete the pledge." Alex said calmly.
Lin Tianyu was stunned for a moment. Alex did make a vow when he was in Rome, but Lin Tianyu didn't take it seriously at that time. After all, for him, a modern man who was atheist, it was as common as eating and drinking water, and there was nothing to care about. But then he suddenly realized that for an ancient man, especially an ancient man with a sense of honor, swearing was a very serious matter.
"If you want to leave but can't leave just because you care about the promise, I can lift your vow."
"No! No one can get in touch with my vows unless I can complete it, you have saved my life, you have also given me dignity, all of this must be rewarded, I will try to control myself, I will become a qualified guard until I complete my vows, believe me, I will not let you down again, all I need is some practice."
Lin Tianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Alex's solemn expression. To be honest, he didn't want to lose this guard.
"Then it's decided, but you have to say that you can do it. I don't want to see something like this morning again."
Alex smiled, and this smile dissolved many Lin Tianyu's worries.
He pointed to the computer screen and asked, "What are you showing me?"
"Movies, simply put, are an entertainment method that expresses various stories through drama. There are many types of movies, some are rehearsed according to history, some are fictional stories, and even various fantasy stories."
"So, those people in it are not really Romans? They aren't really fighting?"
Seeing Lin Tianyu nodding, Alex seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank God, no wonder I saw that the way they fought was strange."
"Is it fake?" Lin Tianyu asked curiously. He really wants to know whether the battles in these movies are in line with their perception for someone who has actually participated in ancient wars.
"It's hard to say, but it's awkward. Sometimes a person performs very well, and sometimes he looks clumsy. Can you find me another movie? I really want to know what happened after Rome."
Lin Tianyu thought for a while, "Okay, I'll find another one for you, but you'd better go and cook breakfast first. I'm starving to death. Ah, I just thought of a good movie."
