The technicians began to conduct the final inspection and debugging of the immersion chamber. Hettil stood a little nervously next to the cockpit assigned to him and whispered: "I really didn't expect... that one day I would enter the Eternal Sleeper. The world created..."
"It's a virtual world," Gawain said from the side. He saw the nervousness of his eldest granddaughter, "What? You are very uneasy?"
" A little bit, but more of a... entanglement," Hetty said calmly, having nothing to hide in front of her ancestors, "Although I know that technology is neither good nor bad, the spiritual network of the Eternal Sleeper is not just 'technology'. Simple, you said that it is the projection and aggregation of the spiritual world of countless eternal sleepers. It feels weird to go there now."
Gawain smiled and nodded slightly: " I understand your feeling, but don't worry, this is only temporary - our neural link technology has just started, and we are not yet capable of building our own spiritual network, so we can only temporarily 'borrow' the existing network of the Eternal Sleeper, but When the technology matures, we will naturally create our own virtual environment - for such an important technology, we certainly cannot rely on others forever."
Hetty showed a slightly relieved look, while Gawain turned to look. Turning to Kamel, who was floating next to another immersion chamber: "How is it? Can you connect?"
The brilliance of arcane energy surged around Kamel, and there were jumping energy lightnings. Under his precise control, he continued to sweep the neural connection points in the immersion chamber. A steady buzzing sound came from the base of the immersion chamber. Kamel said with a hint of joy: "It should be no problem... although I I no longer have a nervous system, but I have a magical body. By directly reading and writing the magical fluctuations in the neural connection points, I can enter the network like you."
"It's incredible..." Gawain said. Looking at Kamel's inhuman body, "Magic...its mystery is really becoming more and more interesting."
Kamel bent slightly: "One day, we will Uncover its secrets."
The technician's report came from not far away: "Network frequency calibration completed!" "Nerve cord calibration completed." "All immersion chambers are ready for use, sir. "
Pittman took a deep breath and walked to his own cabin: "Let's get started."
Those who were ready to connect to the network came to their assigned seats. In front of the cockpit, they lay down one after another, while Kamel floated next to the device, directly connecting the various contacts in the cockpit with arcane arcs. As the only person at the scene who could connect to the spiritual network without external devices, Gawain did not prepare a cockpit for himself - mainly because he was a bit wary of long containers that people could lie in and have a lid on top. Shadow - He sat directly on an ordinary chair next to the connection platform and said to everyone who was ready to connect: "I will enter the network first, and you will connect in a minute. This time we will cross the level of consciousness. layer, directly enter the virtual space——If you find that you landed in the wrong place, or see fragmented images, don’t hesitate to disconnect immediately, do you understand? "
"Understood! "
"Okay," Gawain nodded, and then said to the air beside him, "Do a good job of guarding, and wake me up if there is any situation. "
Amber's voice came from the air: "Okay, okay - but I agreed, next time I will take me to see that spiritual network! ”
As we all know, if the air around Gawain is left for a long time, amber will grow.
Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a sense of familiarity, he was completely accustomed to it. Feeling slightly dizzy, the light and shadow in front of him quickly shifted, changed, and reorganized.
After a brief moment, he arrived at the virtual space he had "stolen" in the Eternal Sleeper's mental network.
The endless calm water stretches out in the field of vision, with countless neatly arranged huge alloy platforms floating on the water, and in the extremely broad blue sky, there are complex and changing symbols, formulas, runes, and machinery. The structure and blueprint are floating and refreshing as always, and in the center of this vast space is the "reference point" set by Gawain for this experimental space.
On a small platform, there is a round table. , seats, and refreshments were all prepared, and the old mage Daniel was standing respectfully at the round table. When Gawain appeared, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "I salute you, my lord. "
Gawain waved his hand and asked Daniel to stand up: "Is the environment stable there? ”
“I have specially arranged a rest time, and no one will disturb me in the next half day. "
"Very good, they will be here soon. ”
After a moment of waiting, Gawain sensed several connection signals pointing to this virtual space——
This space was created by him at the bottom of the eternal sleeper’s spiritual network. In order to ensure safety and concealment, the entire space has undergone a large amount of data camouflage and layer-by-layer encryption. Only by mastering the specific spiritual network frequency can the correct address of this space be found. To access this address, you need to obtain Gao Wen personally.
After confirming the identity of each signal, Gawain opened the connection permission. In the next moment, along with beams of light falling from the sky and a large number of refreshed runes, figures emerged one by one. On this small platform, Hetty and others shook their bodies a few times in dizziness and weightlessness, and then saw everything in front of them clearly.
Almost everyone was there. Her eyes widened in surprise, and Rebecca couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! ! ! "
"This is really...unbelievable..." Hetty looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, this vast world of water and sky, those neatly arranged alloy platforms, the formulas and blueprints in the sky...these Scenes that could not be seen in reality were so vividly presented in front of her eyes at this moment, everything was so clear, so clear that even if she knew in advance that everything here was a virtual reality,Even if you come, you can't help but wonder if you have really traveled through time and space and entered a new world parallel to the real world.
At this moment, she finally understood what her ancestor meant by the term "virtual reality".
Perhaps the calmest person at the scene was Pittman, because in the last test he had already been to the "level of consciousness" of the Eternal Sleeper and had also seen part of the dream city, so he had some understanding of the virtual world. He was mentally prepared for such a spectacular sight. He looked at the scene here and sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that you have built such a vast space."
A man who looks ordinary-looking A middle-aged man with an ordinary figure, ordinary clothes, and even ordinary hair and voice nodded slightly and commented: "It looks empty."
Gawain laughed. : "After all, this is a place for experiments, not for living in... Wait, who are you?"
Hetty and others looked at the stranger standing between them in shock. Jenny was the first to react: "Are you... Kamel?"
"It's me," Kamel looked down at his body, raised his head and spread his hands, "Actually, I wanted to restore my original appearance, but... I forgot what I looked like."
Then he shook his head, as if he wanted to show a self-deprecating smile, but he also Forgot how to make an expression, so he simply waved his hand, and the appearance of the middle-aged man disappeared. In a flash of energy sparks, the arcane body bound by rune armor pieces reappeared. In front of everyone: "Let's use this body and get used to it."
"It will get better." Gawain looked at the two arcane lights on Kamel's head, "You can slow down Slow adaptation can also be used to recall slowly. If used properly, the mental network is beneficial to both memory and mental strength. Maybe this will also work for you."
"I hope so," Kamel hummed. He said quietly, then turned to Daniel who was still standing aside, nodded slightly and said hello, "Then, this is your other subordinate Daniel."
"Yes, Daniel, he is located in Ti Feng, the non-implantable nerve cord is his achievement." Gawain nodded, then raised his hand and began to introduce everyone present in turn, "This is Kamel, the legendary magister of the ancient Gondor Empire. Experts in classical magic and modern magic technology; Hetty, my blood descendant, Cecil’s internal affairs manager; Rebecca..."
Gawain introduced Hetty and others one by one. Greeting Daniel with a sense of unfamiliarity when they met for the first time was a very special experience for both parties - for Hetty and others, this was the first time in their lives that they were in a virtual world. Establishing communication and cooperation with people on the real network (or should I say...making netizens?), for Daniel, this means that he finally met the "core messenger" of the "outside wanderer", and he finally entered this world from Created by an alien, indescribable "god"He finally gained the true trust of...the wanderers outside the territory.
When Gawain introduced Jenny, Daniel couldn't help showing a surprised look. He looked at the white-haired girl in front of him with a look of disbelief on his face: "Are you Ms. Jenny?"
Being called so by an old mage who could be his grandfather, Jenny immediately waved her hands a little cautiously: "You... just call me Jenny."
"Ah, okay... ..." Daniel blinked, "I'm a little excited - the rune logic impressed me so much that it almost changed my understanding of the concepts of runes and magic circles."
Seeing Janillo. Looking a little embarrassed, Gawain coughed lightly: "Ahem, then you already know each other, so please sit down first."
Daniel quickly calmed down his emotions and joined everyone at the round table Sit down - compared to the original round table when there were only Gawain and him in this space, this new table is much larger, and there are more seats next to it. One of them has a dark red backrest without any markings. The chair belongs to Gawain, and each of the remaining chairs has everyone's name floating above it. Obviously, this was specially arranged by Gawain.
Daniel believes that this "round table" may reflect the preferences of wanderers outside the territory - he is willing to be with his followers and communicate in a discussion manner, and the seats around the round table more or less reflect Followers' closeness to Him.
In fact, Gawain is arranged in the order of eating at home - Hetty is the closest, Rebecca is the second, and the rest of the people who come to eat are arranged in the back...
p>
After sitting down, Gawain said without any nonsense: "Everyone who can come here is a trusted confidant of mine, and you will also be partners who work together and need to rely on each other. , here, except for personal information and the special confidential information that I identify, all other information should follow the principles of public sharing. So first, we must understand the nature of this space-my positioning of it is a laboratory. .”
An experimental space based on virtual reality.
A place that can simulate more than 99% of the laws of reality at a macro level.
A laboratory that can verify various technical ideas, build an experimental environment instantly, and conduct unlimited trials and errors at almost zero cost.
This is a place that can make any technology researcher ecstatic!
As Gao Wen introduced the nature and functions of this experimental space one by one, demonstrations began on the nearest alloy platforms——
Huge parts appeared out of thin air. , the complex magic cannon and magic energy engine were assembled almost instantly. They started running and began to be tested under various extreme conditions. The cannon was fired, the engine roared, the gears and levers were spinning endlessly, everything was It seems to be no different from the real world... no, better than the real world!
Rebecca's eyes widened. She saw someone on a certain platform.A large engine failed during operation, and everything on the platform froze instantly. The failed engine was enlarged, and part of the structure became transparent. The dislocated and broken parts inside were clearly displayed in the "frozen" state. Every breaking point and flying debris was clearly visible before everyone's eyes.
The demonstration was over, Gawain leaned back in his seat: "It works, just as you can see."
Rebecca took a deep breath , this girl who had always been carefree, optimistic and lively felt extremely shocked at this moment.
She glanced at Kamel. Although she couldn't understand the other person's face, she was sure that the other person was also in shock.
The ancient great mage sighed softly: "Seven hundred years...it seems that not all technologies are declining."
"We can use this to test magic energy Train!" Rebecca said to Kamel excitedly, "And you can test both plans at the same time! You don't have to worry about how many times it will explode!"
"There are also new symbols! Even Jenny, who has always been shy, became excited, "Hundreds of rune arrays can be tested quickly! And there is no need to worry about loss and safety issues!"
He Ti looked at Rebecca and then at Jenny. Cecil, the butler, blinked and suddenly reacted: "Wait, then I just... don't need to approve funds for you?"
The hand that was approving the funds suddenly stopped shaking.
