The technology of the Eternal Sleeper has always been very valuable in Gawain's opinion, but it just needs to be modified.
Part of the Eternal Sleeper technology has already been used in the Magic Network communication network established in the territory, but what Gawain wants is far more than this.
For him, the Immortals’ achievements in neurosurgery and brain-immersion technology are equally fascinating.
Daniel is the most senior Eversleeper technician that Gawain can find. He has been an Eversleeper cultist for more than ten years and is familiar with related technologies. What's more valuable is that he is a mage. This " "Pre-professional" gave him excellent research skills: Although Gawain often said that traditional mages are pedantic and backward, that refers to their group itself. Personally speaking, as long as they can become advanced spellcasters, they have good skills in mathematics, logic and It's impossible to be bad in the purely intellectual realm.
Sure enough, Daniel looked proud: "My lord, research in this area has made great progress. I referred to the drawings of the 'Crown' device you gave me before, and tried my best to While retaining its functions, a set of connection devices have been designed that can be used by ordinary people, including connectors that simulate nerve cords and brainwave amplification arrays. In theory, it can achieve the same effect as that crown..."< /p>
However, the old mage paused for a moment, with a hint of apology and nervousness in his tone: "It's just that it's still very imperfect at the moment. The biggest problem is that it's very large and impossible to carry. The second is that it consumes a lot of energy." It's very capable..."
Gawain listened calmly, feeling slightly relieved: As he expected, it was right to give this task to Daniel.
The "crown device" mentioned by the old mage is none other than the magic prop used by Patty when he fell asleep. It is a complex and expensive Eternal Sleeper magic weapon. The only device that Gawain has seen so far that allows ordinary people to connect to the spiritual network, some of the runes in the Magic Network Communicator were designed with reference to that crown.
But Patty's tiara also had a big flaw: like all traditional magic props of this era, it was too complex, sophisticated, and expensive to be mass-produced.
So Gawain gave the information about the tiara to Daniel and asked the old mage to redesign a set based on his own artificial nerve cords and radiation array, combined with the runes in the tiara. "Psychic Network Connector" comes out.
Now he finally has the results, although they are still imperfect.
"Give me your current research information and blueprint," Gawain nodded slightly to the old mage, "I will continue to improve it."
The old mage nodded quickly and put himself The information in his memory was reproduced in this virtual space through shorthand magic. Looking at the old mage's movements, some thoughts slowly emerged in Gawain's mind:
The time seems to be almost here...< /p>
Daniel has withstood long-term observation and testing. The installation of this hidden virtual spaceQuanxing has also passed the verification, maybe... he can consider telling the trustworthy people around him about what happened here.
If Daniel's connection device works, then he can connect the technical personnel in the territory to this virtual space, and use the simulation environment here to speed up many research projects in the territory...
p>By allowing Daniel and Kamel to come into contact with them, it will become easier for researchers in the territory to analyze the technology of the Eversleeper, and the efficiency will also increase.
Gawain has never told the people around him that he can connect to the spiritual network before. The main issue he considers is safety. He does not want the Eternal Sleepers to know that there is a loophole in their spiritual network, and he does not want them to know that he had already sneaked into their network, but after Daniel successfully became a bishop of the Eternal Sleeper, Gawain finally used his hand to establish a primitive IP system and security system in the spiritual network. Using these things, he had confirmed At least there are no network nodes of the Eternal Sleeper in the main city of Cecil and the surrounding areas - so as long as the people accessing the network are guaranteed to be loyal and reliable, there is no need to worry about the leakage of information.
While thinking, Daniel had completed the reproduction of the data, and the old mage respectfully pushed the drawings filled with symbols and words in front of Gawain: "My lord, this is all the data. "
"Very good," Gawain took the information and said casually, "You should know the power I established in Ansu."
The old mage lowered his head: "Yes, your loyal servant has heard of this."
"I am considering bringing you into contact with my men in Anzu," Gawain said, paying attention to Daniel's expression Changes, "Do you have any opinions?"
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of excitement and joy: "This is my great honor!"
Obviously, the old mage This was taken as proof that his loyalty was finally recognized by Gawain.
Gawain could guess what the old man was thinking, and he did not reveal it. He just reminded the other person seemingly casually: "My identity in Ansu is Gawain Cecil, the founding Duke, not anything else. Outlander, you must keep this in mind."
Daniel reacted quickly and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I will follow your will..."
"Very good. ," Gawain nodded with satisfaction, and then looked up and down at the old mage in front of him, "How are the effects of the patterns I gave you?"
When he mentioned this, Daniel suddenly looked humble and grateful: "They It has incredible power!"
He then talked about the power of those magical patterns and their effects on himself, especially the various benefits after he became mentally stable. : "...As my nervous system slowly recovers, I feel that my mind is much clearer than before, and my thinking ability seems to have returned to the peak state of my youth...I can complete the tasks assigned by you so quickly. Design new brain wave connectionAccepting the plan is also because of this..."
Gao Wen hummed: "Are there any adverse reactions? "
"No - although I did encounter the 'blind pleasure' state you mentioned, it seems that as long as you maintain resistance, you can break free. This is also the most incredible thing about it: its The intoxication effect is stronger than any mental illusion I know, but it can also keep the person who comes into contact awake to the greatest extent. I think that as long as people do not actively want to give up their minds, they should not be completely controlled by it. ..."
At this point, Daniel paused and said somewhat cautiously: "But I didn't let my apprentices try it... I'm not very confident about their aspirations... "
Gawain glanced at the old mage lightly: "You should be worried that once they are exposed to that relaxed and joyful state, they will immediately abandon the painful reality without hesitation. "
Daniel's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment and annoyance: "In recent years... I have often lost control of my spirit. I have always been fully conscious only in the psychic network. In the outside real world, I have almost turned into a twisted monster. It is normal for my apprentices to be afraid of this. ”
The old mage in front of him is a mentally disturbed, moody, and violent person in the real world. This is a fact that Gawain knew after searching Daniel’s superficial memory. .
Due to his over-indulgence in the sorcery of the Eternal Sleeper, coupled with his long-term frustration on the path of magic and the sequelae left by neurosurgery, this old mage’s spirit has been in decline for more than ten years. He continued to lose control, and in the end it deteriorated to the point where he could only maintain relative sanity in the psychic network. He appeared humble and obedient in front of Gawain and had quick thinking. That was entirely because the psychic network complemented his spirit. Once he was out of this network, He is no better than a lunatic.
But Daniel's mental state is not hopeless.
Gawain once taught him knowledge about the magic network and advanced mathematical information. , during this process, Gawain discovered that the positive emotions generated when learning new knowledge and making progress in research projects greatly alleviated Daniel's mental loss of control. After confirming this change, he made a try:
He stamped the pattern on the tentacles of Siren Tyr in the sea demon form and gave the pattern to Daniel.
He wanted to see Daniel's mental state after contact. What will happen to those weird patterns in the future?
Tear's sea demon form once left a deep impression on Gawain. The huge body, the countless tentacles growing in the wind, and the weird and alluring shape. , for the first time subverted Gawain's inherent impression of the "lazy and crazy salty fish spirit", and the special tentacles owned by the Sea Demon Tyr were the things that impressed Gawain the most.
Indescribable patterns and extremely strong mental infection ability can directly rewrite the attributes of mortal minds. You can do thisIn other words, if the effect of those patterns were not too positive and funny, Gawain would definitely regard Tyr's sea demon tentacles as one of the characteristics of the evil god immediately.
And even though the pattern effect on Tyr’s body was so funny that he didn’t look like an evil god at all, Gawain couldn’t help but associate that thing with a god, because he heard Tyr mention it— -The original sea monsters did not have that kind of sea devil form. Their sea devil form imitated the "big squid" in the deep sea.
Although I don’t understand why those salty fish spirits imitated the evil god of the deep sea and ended up imitating themselves into the evil god of the deep sea, but after all, it is something that may be related to gods, and Gawain has to treat it with caution. , he wanted to test whether those patterns were still effective after leaving the body, and wanted to test how effective they were, but he did not find a suitable test target in the territory. It was not until a certain unit test was assigned to Daniel that he Suddenly he thought of the old mage's mental state.
There is no more suitable tester than Daniel - he is very powerful and does not need to worry too much about accidents; he is a cultist of the Eternal Sleeper and has high mental resistance; more importantly, his mental state is already quite abnormal. When disconnected from the spiritual network, there is only a thin line between him and the disabled, and he is in great need of treatment...
But after all, he is a double-acting spy that he has finally cultivated. Gawain is also worried that this old mage will come into contact with him. The patterns that were suspected to be the products of the evil god later went out of control, so he gave a lot of warnings in advance. He explained the dangers of those patterns and possible abnormal reactions, and told Daniel not to be exposed to the patterns for more than half an hour at a time, and if something strange and funny appeared in his heart, Any thoughts (such as wanting to dig for giant squid) must be stopped immediately...
Now it seems that the old mage did strictly follow his instructions.
Gawain listened carefully to Daniel's report on the changes that had happened to him, and breathed a long sigh of relief at the end——
After coming into contact with those crazy patterns, the old mage saw When I wake up, I feel more energetic.
"Go back and continue testing those patterns. When conditions are ripe, you can let your apprentices come into contact with them, but pay attention to safety. In addition, it is best not to let people other than you and your apprentices discover those patterns. , to prevent unnecessary trouble." Gawain stood up, and his figure gradually faded in the virtual space, "I will contact you again."
Daniel also stood up and bent down deeply. : "Yes, my lord."
The connection to the spiritual network was disconnected. After a brief period of dizziness and weightlessness, the scene of the real world reappeared in Gawain's vision.
He saw Hetty sitting opposite the desk, but she had fallen asleep on the table and was breathing slightly and evenly.
Gawain did not wake up his eldest granddaughter who was sleeping peacefully - he knew that Hetty had been really tired recently and she needed to rest.
Typhon...
"Everyone is developing," Gawain couldn't help but muttered softly.Sentence, "No one will stop..."
