Come to the future...
This is a brand new word, a saying that has not been heard elsewhere.
It is said that in Cecil, such brand-new words "pop up" from various fields almost every day. They are used to describe the ever-changing magic technology and to describe the changing customs. Cecil Order, proud citizens of Cecil are proud to master and use these new vocabulary, which has even become a label behavior used by many people to flaunt "respectability".
Yuri was quite puzzled by this when he was listening to people chatting. However, looking at this impressive facility in front of him, with the scene described by Gawain sketched in his mind, he Suddenly I understand a little bit.
This is indeed a great creation that anyone should show off with pride - even blind pride.
What makes the Eternal Sleeper Archbishops at the scene feel a little ironic is that the technical basis of this creation originated from the Eternal Sleep Order-for hundreds of years, they have held this kind of technology in their hands. The technology that changed the times has never been thought about like Gawain Cecil. They carefully hid the technology and buried it deep underground together with their "grand plan". They regarded this technology as "Forbidden weapons" used to challenge gods, and "forbidden weapons"... are naturally rare, secret, and precious, and must be kept separate from "ordinary people".
Gawain looked at the silent archbishops and knew what they were thinking.
Their courage to challenge the gods is certainly worthy of praise, but the idea of personal heroism to save the world alone limited their direction. Like almost all extraordinary people of this era, they never thought , and have never believed in collective power - naturally they do not understand what a state machine is, let alone what a national war is.
“We spent centuries circling in circles, burying ourselves underground until our brains were suffocated,” Magnum muttered (at a volume audible to the entire audience). "Hundreds of years..."
"These hundreds of years have not been in vain," Gawain shook his head. "It was you who laid the foundation of technology. No one can deny this. The foundation of a technology Creating is the most difficult part, but fortunately you completed it."
"I have a question," Wendy, who had never spoken at this time, suddenly broke the silence, "Your Majesty, according to your plan, Do you plan to cover the entire empire with similar computing centers and allow ordinary people to access the network through a device called an 'immersion cabin'?"
Gawain nodded: "Of course."
"Would ordinary people be willing to do this? Contribute their brain computing power...Although it may only be redundant computing power, the majority of people are doubtful. After all, this is to He is connected to the mysterious and powerful 'magic', and most people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with magic in their lives..."
"I am very happy to see an Eternal Sleeper priest now starting from ordinary people. Thinking about the problem from different angles, but I want to firstLet me correct you first - in Cecil, it is not as difficult for 'ordinary people' to access magic as you think," Gawain interrupted Wendy, "Secondly, after the initial doubts, the public will soon start We welcome this thing, and we will even have to take certain measures to restrict the public's use of immersion chambers to prevent it from affecting the production order of the real economy. "
As Gawain spoke, he waved to someone not far away. Yuri and others were full of doubts because of Gawain's words, and were about to ask when they heard a pleasant and cheerful voice. The sound of metal vibrating suddenly "floated" from nearby: "Coming, coming - Your Majesty! I just finished calibrating the power ridge in the west area! ”
As the words fell, a huge silver-white metal ball with a strange smiling face painted on its surface quickly floated in front of Gawain, and a picture was reflected on its bright surface. With a stunned face, Magnan subconsciously exclaimed: "My ancestors... what is this? ! ”
Before Gawain could speak, Mr. Nicholas Egg had already turned his face and flew the ball in front of Magnum. A curious metal trembling sound came from the silver-white metal ball: “Ah, Bearings and gears! What the hell is this? ”
As he spoke, he quickly circled the Magnum twice. The latter’s flickering psychological projection instantly seemed to be dim and dissipated out of thin air, even the one not far away. Selena was affected, and Mr. Nicholas Dan exclaimed as he flew: "Weird, non-material, interweaving of energy bodies, mixed with subtle magnetic fields that can interfere with the nerve signals of carbon-based organisms. It seems to have no fixed form, but it passes through energy. Interaction is constantly calibrating its scope and characteristics... It's a bit like Carmel, but it's a lot more blurry... Ah, levers and pistons! This blob even has emotional responses! ! "
Magnum's eyes almost widened, and while trying to dodge the invisible forbidden magic field around Mr. Nicholas Egg, he shouted: "What on earth is this terrifying sphere talking about!" ”
“Nicholas, this is a guest,” Gawain finally reacted at this time and hurriedly stopped the iron star’s strange behavior. After calling him back, he couldn’t help but curiously asked. I asked, “What do you see in your eyes is an energy body without a fixed form? "
"Correction, this ball is not looking with 'eyes', but a kind of...well, it can be regarded as an eye, which is easier to understand," Mr. Nicholas Egg replied casually, " As for the energy body... Strictly speaking, I feel that it is some kind of intertwined 'field'. I know that these two concepts are easily confused, but they are just different..."
Gao Wen is very I quickly understood what had just happened, and realized that I had overlooked some key points before: Although Nicholas Egg is always an intelligent creature that can communicate with humans normally, and has emotions and emotions that humans can understand, he is a living being after all. What he observed when facing some "alien life forms" with very strange forms that human senses are accustomed toProbably something completely different!
This time is the most obvious example - Magnum and Selina have become spiritual bodies living in the spiritual network. They can appear in front of ordinary people entirely by "psychological projection" ", by disturbing the observer's five senses to create the illusion that he "exists here". However, Mr. Nicholas Egg... he does not have a nervous system, at least not a human nervous system.
He can still sense the existence of Magnum and Selina, but what he "sees" is a large intertwined, turbulent but orderly "field"...< /p>
This is a very important phenomenon that may be used in research fields in the future, such as... further analysis of magic?
Gawain shook his head slightly and temporarily put aside the research ideas that suddenly emerged in his heart. He briefly introduced the eternal sleepers at the scene, and then pointed at Nicholas and said to Yuri and others: "This is the great craftsman of the empire, Nicholas. You will often deal with this great craftsman in the future."
"When you are not familiar enough, please call me by my full name, Saint Nicholas Mr. Egg." ," the big silver-white metal ball floated in the air twice, and said in a reserved and proud tone, "And you also need to respect me in terms of qualifications - the great craftsman is a great position."
Magnum looked at the metal ball in front of him with lingering fear - he sighed in his heart that this land ruled by extraterrestrial wanderers was indeed full of scary and weird things, but at least he did not directly think about what he was thinking. Speak up.
After observing for two seconds, he decided to say hello to the other party. This may help to bring the relationship between the two parties closer and reduce some unnecessary risks in the process of "working together" in the future: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Nicholas Egg... Sir, uh, or madam? Sorry, are you a boy or girl?"
Gawain suddenly looked at Magnum deeply.
Yuri once again failed to stop his old partner from speaking freely.
In fact, he didn’t really want to stop him, nor did anyone else - the archbishops had a subtle tacit understanding on this point.
Everyone has worked together for many years, and they know each other’s temperament thoroughly. Many times, they are actually happy to see Magnum take the initiative to speak. This loud-voiced and straightforward former God of War priest can always make everyone think of him. It is difficult to say something directly, and this is true in any situation. In this way, only Magnum himself will be offended, while others can enjoy the information gained after Magnum opens his mouth.
There is no doubt that this is a good thing.
"You should call me 'Sir'!" Nicholas Danzong's buzzing voice suddenly became louder. Magnum once again offended someone - or maybe he offended the ball, while others The answer was successfully obtained, "Damn it, don't you have eyes? This ball has such distinct sexual characteristics..."
The people who fell silent this time even included Gawain..
He felt that it would be too weird to continue this topic.
"Stop for a moment - you will have plenty of time to enhance your relationship later," he said in a deep voice, instantly silencing everyone present, "Let's get back to business. Nicholas, which room can be used now?" "
"Available rooms? The computing facilities on the second floor can be used, but the third floor still needs to be adjusted."
Gao Wen nodded (things are finally back on track): "Take us to the second floor, prepare a set of immersion chambers, and activate the No. 2 demonstration sample."
"Wait a moment."
Nicholas said simply, and then asked for a moment. Stepping back a little, it used an invisible magnetic field to directly activate a nearby device. With a very slight buzzing sound, Yuri and others saw a half-moon-shaped lifting platform descending from near the mental hub.
Gawain took the lead and walked towards the platform, followed by the others.
This pyramid facility has not yet been completely completed. Many areas are still undergoing final finishing, but some rooms have been delivered and have been put into operation for debugging equipment. Under the leadership of Mr. Nicholas Egg, Next, the group entered the second floor of the facility and walked through a corridor that was not very long. Finally, they came to a clean, brightly lit room that had been tidied up.
A column made of alloy stands in the center of the spacious room. More than ten silver-white immersion chamber devices are neatly arranged around the column, including rune drag chains and devices that look like artificial nerve cords. The immersion chambers were connected to the column in the center of the room, and on that column, Yuri and others once again felt the magic fluctuations similar to the mental hub in the hall.
As Gawain said, every thinking connection device in this facility is connected to the huge pillar in the center of the hall.
Gawain came to an immersion chamber with the hatch cover opened, turned to look at the archbishops, and smiled: "Does anyone want to try Cecil's 'Psychic Network'?"
p>The archbishops looked at each other. After several people exchanged glances, Wendy was the first to stand up.
"Ladies first," the beautiful lady smiled and walked to the immersion chamber, "and I have been interested in Cecil's 'magic technology' since a long time ago. I How to use it? Do you need to prepare any spells or incantations? "
"Just lie in it. This is for ordinary people, so of course no spells or incantations are needed." Gawain said casually, "The experience time is only ten minutes, you won't feel tired."
Wendy nodded, and lay down in the immersion cabin with the help of Amber, and then followed the rest of the archbishops As he watched, with a slight squeaking sound from the hatch cover, the immersion chamber closed, and the rune drag chain connected to the device and the many runes on the base of the immersion chamber lit up one by one in an instant.
Magnum opened his eyes and watched this carefully.Although he was concerned about the development of the matter, he couldn't help but muttered: "At least in terms of comfort, this thing is much better than ours..."
"You don't have to think about this kind of problem now. ," Yuri glanced at him, "Unless you can get back into your body."
Magnan crossed his arms: "What if!"< /p>
Except for the two of them, almost everyone at the scene said nothing, just waiting intently for Wendy to end this "experience", and they did not wait too long.
Ten minutes later, the lid of the immersion chamber was gently opened.
Wendy sat up from inside with a trace of confusion after being disconnected from the Internet. Her fellow cult members immediately gathered around her. However, facing the curious archbishops, her first reaction was Looking at Gawain: "Can I watch for a while longer? The plot has just begun..."
Yuri couldn't help but become curious: "What did you see inside?"
"It's an immersive theater," Gawain started before Wendy spoke, "but because it's in the testing stage, we can only reproduce some relatively short clips at the moment - Wendy, What you see is all, but don’t worry, it will be perfected soon, and there will be more things in it that are more attractive than immersive theater.”
Having said this, he smiled slightly: "Now, do you think ordinary people would be willing to lie here and contribute computing power?"
"Let me confirm first," Wendy said, "This The device and the things it presents do not require the maintenance of the caster? Unlike the Dream City, which requires the user's mental power to be absorbed at all times, there is no hidden danger of mental pollution?"
Gawain nodded: "Of course."
"Then I have no doubts -" Wendy said quickly, "If I were an ordinary person, I would be willing to pay!"
