Of course, Gawain was just thinking about such a good thing. He also knew the dreamlike situation of "training a younger brother to go undercover in a hostile organization, and then after three years of undercover work, he suddenly found himself a shareholder behind the scenes of the hostile organization." It was impossible for this thing to happen to him - according to his estimation of Daniel, the old magician could infiltrate into the bishopric of the Eternal Sleeper, which was already the limit.
And it can only be at the level of an ordinary nightmare bishop - there is no need to count on the nightmare archbishop.
Because according to the knowledge he possesses, the Eternal Sleepers can still be considered in the category of "human beings" up to the level of bishops, but once they are promoted to the level of nightmare archbishops or even popes, they have already become related to some kind of indescribable A certain connection has been established. It may be some residual knowledge of the gods, or it may be the remains of a divine corpse similar to the giant deer Amorn. In any case, it is something that can be hidden as far away as possible.
If his guess is correct, the situation of the other two dark sects is similar - their archbishops and popes (or high-level officials at the same level) should also be connected to some of the remnants of the gods.
After all, he was a cultist who suddenly fell after learning the truth that "the gods are dead". How could he have the nerve to say that he was a cultist if he didn't have some relics of gods at hand?
Gawain learned about Daniel's actions in detail, and finally confirmed that everything was roughly according to his plan. If there was anything different from the plan, it was that the old magician's actions were worse than he expected. Even better.
Obviously, an old believer who has been working silently in the Order of the Eternal Sleepers for almost ten years is very reliable in the eyes of the Eternal Sleepers. No one would have thought that such a person who was far away in Typhon and related to the "Outer Territory Wanderers" "A believer who has no connection and has no bad deeds will suddenly be initiated in a dream, and his face will turn into a 25-year-old...
" The bishops' conference has established a new project team to deal with it. For the problems I reported, they are still in the stage of troubleshooting and deducing the vulnerabilities. Of course, the more they troubleshoot, the more they will trust me," Daniel reported respectfully, "All vulnerabilities are real. , I didn’t hide anything - after these vulnerabilities are confirmed, I will lead this team to reconstruct the spiritual network."
He paused, and then said: "As you wish. According to your instructions, I will reveal the knowledge you gave me bit by bit in the process, and I will cover it up and disguise it to make everything look like I have researched it myself."
Gao Wen is satisfied. Nodding: "Very good. But be careful - be careful, be careful, and never rush in. They do trust you now. That's because they suddenly discovered that there are countless loopholes in the network, which made those bishops panic, but if you behave like If you stand out too much, their attention will shift from the loopholes to you. You have been unknown in the cult for ten years, and even if you suddenly show extraordinary talents in the field of psychic networks, it can't be too shocking."
Daniel deeplyHe lowered his head and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely not let your great plan be affected in the slightest."
Gawain nodded slightly: "Where is the other task assigned to you?"
p>
"I have built the first magic network unit and the first composite rotating repulsion mechanism in the laboratory, and I am working hard to master the great knowledge you have given me," Daniel said with a sincere expression on his face In awe and a little bit of excitement, the old magician was indeed intimidated by Gawain to be loyal at first, but now his passion as a researcher has been burning brightly, and the new knowledge made him excited, "And I also tested my Apprentice - I have an apprentice named Mary. She is very talented in the field of mathematics and physics. I think she can serve as my assistant."
"Very good, I want you to do it in the real world. The matter is not simple, and it can't be done without the help of assistants," Gawain nodded, "You should lead your apprentices to study the knowledge I gave you, and prepare all the information in the research and development stage - but don't leak it out for the time being. You can only let the world know about your research when I need it. By the way, are your apprentices reliable?"
"They will never dare to betray me - and I won't let them either. They know too many unnecessary secrets.”
“That’s right—” Gawain said, and with a casual move, a large chair appeared out of the air, and he sat down casually. Next, looking into Daniel's eyes, "How is the progress of the data I asked you to collect last time?"
"I compiled a batch of data in the name of building a test database - without arousing suspicion. Under the premise," Daniel said, while manifesting an ancient scroll sealed with mysterious magic runes in his hand, he handed the scroll to Gawain respectfully, "I have made preliminary arrangements, you can Read it directly."
Gawain showed a hint of approval, reached out and took the scroll and opened it in front of his eyes.
There was only a hazy white light on the scroll, but a large amount of information began to flow into Gawain's mind.
This is one of the ways of exchanging information between individuals in the mind network - in such a mind network where individual brains are directly connected, there are many different ways of exchanging information, which can both manifest It can be a scroll, or the data can be compressed into a specific "medium". Obviously, as a traditional and elderly mage, Daniel has a special liking for the form of scrolls.
What Gawain asked Daniel to collect was the knowledge of the most basic part of the psychic network: its physical structure, the basic functions of brain neurons, and the corresponding effects of dream spells in this process.
He gained a lot of knowledge after devouring the unlucky Eternal Sleeper, but some of the knowledge was shattered into pieces in the process and disappeared completely with the death of the Eternal Sleeper. This resulted in him knowing a lot The "skills" of the Eternal Sleeper do not have a systematic knowledge system that can be studied. What he has to do now is to supplement his knowledge in this part.insufficient.
Start with the most basic knowledge and see what parts you are missing.
The level of confidentiality of this knowledge in the Order of the Eternal Sleeper is not very high, but unless you catch an "expert" who is specifically responsible for building this network, it will be difficult to collect it all - for this era, The spiritual network created by the Eternal Sleeper is completely a huge systematic project. In Gawain's view, the knowledge required for this project that is completely ahead of the times is extremely complex, and it also requires a lot of manpower to complete, so Many Eternal Sleeper believers often only know how part of the structure of this spiritual network should be implemented, but few can know its full picture.
But Daniel can get all its information - because he is now the person in charge of the Eternal Sleeper's first experimental database. He can just make up a name for actual testing and keep the network secret. Drag the lower-level things over and toss them at will...
Of course Gawain and Daniel know that there is no need to use real data for the test database, but the eternal sleepers don't know...
In the Mind Network In this state, Gawain's speed of "retrieving information" is also very fast, or in other words, he is not going into details, but traversing all the information once in a way similar to rapid retrieval, so as to establish a general framework in his mind - this is also the spiritual network One of the usages.
In the process of establishing this framework, his brows gradually wrinkled.
Daniel's heart suddenly raised: "My lord, is there any problem?"
Gawain slowly took the last part of the information into his mind, raised his head and looked at Daniel seriously Eyes: "Do you know 'Brainserver'?"
"Yes, it is a permanently fixed computing power node," Daniel nodded immediately. Of course he knew these basic knowledge, "Brain servants are living people under anesthesia. Their body functions are almost stagnant, but the brain and network are connected together and keep running, so that they can handle the computing tasks of the mental network with the highest efficiency. Even ordinary people without magic power, They are also qualified to become brain servants."
Yes, they are the living dead in the cellar of Kant's territory...
"If my understanding of these materials is not wrong, if I didn't miss any key points," Gawain shook the scroll in his hand, "Brain servants are not a necessary component of the psychic network at all!"
Daniel blinked in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand this. The meaning of the sentence.
“The construction of the psychic network is based on the neurons of the human brain, the computing power of the human brain, and the extraordinary effects of dream and psychic spells. As long as the brain is functioning normally, it can Providing sufficient computing power, and even oversupply - if it is just to maintain the operation of the spiritual network, then the surplus computing power contributed by those conscious eternal sleepers in the process of accessing the network is more than enough !”
“You mean, even without a brain servant, the spiritual network can be usedNormal operation? Daniel finally understood what Gawain meant, "As a node, the Eternal Sleeper cultists themselves can guarantee all the functions of the network?" "
"Yes, as long as the number of active nodes is sufficient, and this number has already been enough, the active eternal sleepers in the City of Dreams are enough to support two such spiritual networks! Gawain said with a serious face, "And this is the normal situation - the computing power provided by the eternal sleepers connected to the network must be greater than their occupation of network resources, otherwise the network will be fundamentally contradictory: If the Eversleeper nodes consume more computing power than they provide, then why does the Bishops issue an order to collect computing power and call for more Eversleepers to 'connect' to the grid? Since there is such a thing as "collecting computing power", it means that every eternal sleeper active on the Internet contributes far more computing power than they consume! "
Daniel was surprised and confused: "Then... what are those brain servants for? "
"I said, I am not omniscient and omnipotent, that's why I need servants," Gawain looked into Daniel's eyes, "Investigate this matter—investigate it without being exposed. I suspect that the role of those brain servants is not to maintain the psychic network at all, but that the huge computing power they provide is for other purposes... It is a project even grander and more mysterious than the psychic network! "
"Yes, my lord. "
Seeing Daniel nodding to accept the order, Gawain suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a piece of information he had inadvertently come into contact with before.
"Follow a message called "Project Zero", I suspect it is related to those computing resources with unknown destinations," Gawain immediately reminded, "But please note that the confidentiality of this project seems to be very high, and perhaps only people above the bishop level have it. Know the qualifications – it’s up to you to decide what to do. ”
“Your loyal servant will not let you down! ”
