After discovering that special condition, Alex kept searching for his golden finger for more than a week. It's just that no matter how he digs, he can't find signs of superpowers in himself. He was still an ordinary person with a super memory, and other than that, he found nothing special.
"What is my golden finger! God, Buddha, Sanqing, please tell me!"
Alex is really gone, he closed his eyes tightly and began to remember what he did that day. When he concentrates fully, it does feel a little different.
"Huh? What's the situation!"
Suddenly, Alex seemed to notice something unusual. He can easily recall the details of what happened at the time, as if he himself was still at that moment. This abnormal state can only be entered when he closes his eyes. If he opens his eyes, he will automatically leave.
This anomaly has actually existed since he was reborn, so that he never noticed it. He always thought that his memory was good because he had traveled to the baby's body, and now it does not seem to be the case.
When he closes his eyes to remember, what he has experienced in the past is like watching a first-person movie with his own eyes. The closer the time, the easier it will be to recall, the farther the time, the more difficult it will be to recall. At the beginning, I could only recall what happened in the last few days, and slowly one month or two months, and even the things after rebirth can be viewed from a first-person perspective.
Originally, he would only see the scenes of his previous life in a dream. After practicing several times, he found that he could still improve his proficiency, and slowly, even the memories of the previous life could be easily recalled.
"Is this the complete memory ability mentioned in the book?"
Alex secretly guessed that he had only seen similar superpowers in some novels and animations. As for the real situation, he is a rookie.
The so-called complete memory ability is the unique physique of Inticus that appears in the "Magic f*******n Book Catalog". This physique allows Inticus to record the contents of one hundred and three thousand magical books in his brain.
This physique can not only record important people and things clearly, but also remember the memories, no matter how trivial or boring, such as the faces of people coming and going on the street and every trace of the leaves on the green trees. Be clear.
In fact, no one can have the full memory ability like Inticks. If only relying on the brain to remember, scientists believe that this complete memory ability will be a biological disease and an unhealthy performance.
Because the normal human brain is a chemical memory, it is divided into instantaneous memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. A lot of what the human eye sees are momentary memories. Things with too many details have too much information to be processed and stored. After the brain analyzes the decay and enters short-term memory, it is determined whether the utilization efficiency is high enough before they decide to store it in the long-term. memory.
For those who never forget, because the amount of information in instant and short-term memory is too large, the brain has a lot of messy information, and the processing efficiency is low, resulting in some information that cannot be correctly judged and concluded. As a result, there are sequelae such as stuttering, unresponsiveness, poor hands and feet, and underdeveloped exercise. For them, memory is really the source of pain.
"But I don't have that kind of ill at all!" Alex thought to himself, and he didn't want to become a dull memory maniac.
After discovering his own special ability, Alex deliberately or unconsciously exercised it. This ability is like a muscle or an organ. When used more, it starts to become stronger. He just needs to exercise for a long time if he wants to be as strong as he wants.
"How did this ability come from?" Alex sometimes ponders this question, and he tries to find out the reason. But he found that he was powerless, at least he couldn't explain it now.
If you really want to explain it, you can only use theories such as gods and ghosts to explain it. As for the scientific explanation, it will be confused.
Alex did not dwell on scientific explanations. If he insisted on explaining, it could only be said that his soul had traveled through time and space, causing some unforeseen mutation, so that he was able to store excessive amounts of information.
There is a theoretical conjecture that the human soul drives the human body, and the brain is just a relay between the body and the soul. In the end, all the information experienced by the body will be transmitted to the soul through the brain. In other words, the human soul is actually the energy composed of information aggregates.
If information is recorded by energy, then the information that can be recorded by the energy of 21 grams of soul is simply unlimited. In the final human form that scientists have guessed, quantum energy life is one of them.
Human beings who have abandoned the physical body and exist only in the form of energy have in fact transcended the space of this dimension, and the amount of information they can store must be many times larger than the amount of information in the real universe!
It doesn't matter whether Alex's guess is correct or not. The key is that he has found the direction of his efforts, which is to constantly tap the potential of his memory. People can easily achieve their goals if they find the right direction.
After several months of groping, Alex has slowly figured out the extent of his memory ability. He can easily recall the scene of any moment, as if he was in the past time and space.
At first, Alex was like driving a sports car without brakes, unable to control the time period he wanted to recall, and unable to switch between memory and reality at will.
He will easily fall into the long river of memories and cannot extricate himself. After countless trainings, he was finally able to accurately cut into the memory of the past, and was able to pause the scenes in the memory, as well as to withdraw from it at any time.
The past and the present are like two different perspectives. Alex can switch to one of them at any time and choose the time period he wants to watch.
The only trouble is that he has no way to speed up the time speed of the memory perspective, and he can only watch the perspective of one time period, and cannot watch the memory perspective of more than two time periods at the same time. In other words, when he wants to enter the perspective of the past, he must close his eyes and immerse himself in the memory of the past.
This prevented him from quickly finding useful information for him, and it took too long to retrieve past memories, which was not practical.
"I think what I lack now is a tool similar to a web search engine."
Alex tried to build such a memory search engine, but he couldn't achieve this goal. Because the content to be retrieved is too large, a person's memory capacity is definitely an astronomical number.
In desperation, Alex could only give up this wonderful idea. He realized his needs in another way.
Associative memory method, in this way, Alex can quickly find the memory information he wants.
With the method, Alex sorted his memories one by one when he was free, and then inserted special marks. When he needed a certain memory, he could quickly find the corresponding memory segment.
In the process of sorting out, Alex also specifically identified the memory information as images and audio. The reason for this was that he found that he could only deal with these two sensory memories for the time being. This is already a great improvement.
This is a huge project. He will not be able to complete it for a while, so he can only deal with it bit by bit. In order to speed up the sorting speed, he specially processed his memory to make it image and audio. For example, some of the memory fragments of movies he watched in his previous life were directly grouped into image memories, while the songs he had listened to were grouped into audio memories.
Gradually, he found that his abilities had been improved, and now he could open his eyes to sort out. In order to prevent accidents, when he enters the sorting state, he always opens his eyes and pays attention to the outside situation. At this time, it is like dividing the body and mind into two, but the direction of attention is different.
"Alex! Alex!"
Angel noticed that during this time, his son was getting quieter and quieter, sometimes just sitting blankly, looking forward blankly with both eyes. I don't know what he is thinking, which makes Angel very worried. Whenever she saw Alex look like this, she would go up and wake up.
"Ah, ah! What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Alex was awakened all of a sudden, looking at Angel's face, he knew he could not enter that state in front of his parents. He needs to find a quiet place with no one to find it in peace.
In this way, it took a long time to sort out some of the memory data that he thought was useful to him. By this time he was over four years old, and because he had spent too much time sorting out his memories, he appeared to be much quieter than ordinary children. Of course, in order not to worry his parents, he did not spend too much time organizing his memory during the day, but at night, he would lie in bed and pretend to sleep.
In the process of continuous memory sorting, he found that his ability to control memory is getting higher and higher, and his reaction speed when recalling is getting faster and faster! He named this ability "retrospect", which can recall images and sounds at any time and place in the past.
"Then there is one last question!"
Alex knows that the potential of complete memory doesn't stop there! He played the guitar indiscriminately that day and accidentally played the master guitar song "Carmen". You know, whether it is this life or the previous life, he just knows nothing about guitar.
However, in that state at that time, he played the exact same tune in his memory, no different!
In other words, as long as he has seen or heard it, he can play the same tune. This is really incredible! It's beyond imagination! In other words, there are still unknown uses of his ability!
