Chapter 1162: A Test

The latest website: Selina Geerfen, holding a lantern, stood quietly in front of the fireplace, with a gentle and friendly smile on her face, and a faint white halo escaped from the outline of her figure. The connection between the halo and the body presents a slight sense of translucency—this is not because Selena has a problem with her manipulation of her "psychological projection", but a trace she deliberately created to make the real world of people are able to distinguish the borders of the phantom in front of them.

After the "Neural Network and Derivative Technology Management Measures (Provisional)" was officially promulgated, "unless an application is made in advance, network residents who use psychological projection to operate in the material world should actively mark their own projection range, so as not to affect the residents of the material world." life or interfere with the judgment of law enforcement agencies" has become a formal law. Selina Geerfen is one of the drafters of this law. She strictly follows the rules, and she is also under management with other old eternal sleepers Priests, senior neural network technicians, and members of the Immortal Association.

The official title of these people is "Internet Residents", but Patty has also heard that His Majesty Gawain Cecil gave these people who can live in the Internet for a long time, and even uploaded their souls to the Internet. A very strange name—His Majesty called them "Cyber ​​Residents"... I can't figure out what this strange word means.

It sounds like a "magic capacitor" that makes scholars have headaches and hair loss.

Some weird thoughts popped up in her mind, and Patty showed a happy smile on her face. She stretched out her arms towards the armrest on the side of the immersion cabin, and there were still mottled and undulating scars on her slightly slender arms—rebuilt through regenerative technology Her muscles, surgically implanted active bones, and artificial nerve bundles all started working at the same time, making her hold the silver-white alloy with some difficulty, and slowly propped up her upper body from the seat.

All of this is still very difficult for her, even though the flesh and blood regeneration technology and modern artificial nerve technology from the Death of All Things Society have almost reconstructed more than half of the damaged tissues in this body, but human beings in the realm of the soul and the microcosmic brain The cognition is still too superficial, and scholars are unable to let a person who has been paralyzed for nearly ten years learn how to command a body assembled with biochemical technology in a short period of time-it is extremely difficult for a healthy person to do all this. This is even more true for Tie.

What's more, these pieced together body structures themselves have innumerable defects in mutual cooperation... It is not easy for them to be able to integrate and match each other to the extent that they are no longer mutually exclusive and can still maintain their operation.

After a period of unfamiliar and slow operation, Patty finally managed to sit up with her own efforts. She exhaled slightly, with a triumphant smile on her face, and looked at the wheelchair parked in the corner not far away. Behind, a section of silvery-white artificial spine is closely attached to the surface of the skin, and the neatly arranged alloy rune armor plates have received the host's nerve signals, and dense lights are lit up in the gaps, and the inside of the strangely shaped wheelchair in the corner There was a pleasant buzzing sound, and driven by a small engine and a series of gears and connecting rods, it moved towards the immersion chamber lightly.

Selena watched all this quietly, until then she broke the silence: "Do you need help?"

"No, I can do it." Patty waved her hand immediately, and then began to slowly move her body out of the immersion cabin. With the help of a series of handrails, she "translated" herself into the special wheelchair with great difficulty. , and just such a few simple actions have already caused a thin layer of sweat to emerge from her forehead.

But after all, she completed all the movements with her own efforts-these movements she didn't even dare to think about a few years ago. The wound on her body was no longer painful and itchy, and breathing and turning her head became painless. She felt joy for her "success" for a moment, then adjusted her sitting posture in the wheelchair, and raised her hand to explore again. After reaching the back of the head, he groped to the end of the "nerve thorns", pulled aside this metal "spine" that seemed hard but was actually very flexible due to a large number of hinge structures, and after a few times of groping, he connected it to the backrest of the wheelchair. in a neural node.

In an instant, the machine, which was cold and stiff just a second ago, seemed to come alive. A series of subsystem activation sounds came out from within it, and some locked mechanisms were unlocked in order under Patty's command, and the wheelchair lightly rotated halfway on the spot. circle, and briskly came to Selina, the girl sitting on top had a bright smile on her face, and said hello with an exaggerated tone on purpose: "Long time no see, 'Sister Selina'~~"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Selena's face for a moment: "Patty, it's better not to use this name..."

It is obviously a sense of accomplishment for Patty to make someone as powerful as Selena look so embarrassed. Well, it's just a joke... But why did you come here suddenly? Isn't the computing center very busy recently?"

"I'm here to discuss something with your mother, and I'm also here to check on your situation." Selina smiled gently, while carefully looking at the girl in front of her. "How is it? Are you feeling better recently?"

"You are in good health, much better than before," Patty looked down at herself, and responded briskly, then she frowned again, and said uncertainly, "And I don't know if it's an illusion...I It seems that the body suddenly became lighter? It was just when I came out of the immersion cabin, a finger that was not easy to use suddenly became easy to use..."

Selena's gaze changed slightly for a moment, but her smile quickly covered everything up. She seemed very happy, and even reached out to touch Patty's hair—a touch that was almost as real as it was real. Through the illusion spell, it came to Patty's perception: "This is really good news, it shows that your soul has finally begun to accept this body, and it also shows that these new biological tissues in your body are finally going to integrate into a real whole .”

"Really?" Patty blinked, a little disbelieving, "But Grandpa Pittman said that this kind of situation is basically impossible... He said that my current state is basically the best situation..."

"Patty," Selena put her hand on the top of the girl's head, with a faint smile on her face, "Sometimes miracles will happen."

Patty seemed to understand, she always felt that Selena's behavior today was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell where this feeling came from, so she nodded: "Although I don't understand it, it sounds like a good thing ..."

"Of course it's a good thing." Selena straightened up with a smile, and then asked as if casually, "By the way, did you encounter any interesting people and things in the neural network today?"

"Interesting people and things?" Patty thought for a while, counting down while organizing his words, "Yeah, I met a nervous mage apprentice at the beginning, he secretly connected through the tutor's immersion chamber, Because I didn’t want to write math papers, I ran to the City of Dreams to hide for leisure, but I was discovered by the instructor not long after I connected. I saw him being pushed by the instructor on a chair in the triangle square to write big questions for two hours... There is also a lady who is using the Internet for the first time. When she named her name, she insisted on adding a lot of her honorary titles and titles she came up with, which triggered the automatic optimization of the system. ellipsis..."

Patty talked about what he had seen and heard in the neural network with great interest, and at the end seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly added: "Oh, yes, I saw Mr. 'High Speed ​​Buck' again, this time he unexpectedly I didn’t play cards or quarrel with people, but learned how to create things with ideas in the dream city. He gave me a little flower that I created as a gift, but before I could finish thanking him, he suddenly fell down. line..."

"Mr. Highway Buck..." Selina couldn't help showing a slightly weird smile on her face, "So, you have already accepted his gift?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why, the flower disappeared very quickly," Patty blinked a little confused, "and he left the network so suddenly, I was a little worried... he seemed like a real It's an elderly gentleman, Sister Selena, you think he won't be in trouble in the real world, right?"

"Don't worry, Patty, there are monitoring devices in every immersion chamber, and if users encounter problems, they will immediately send an alarm to the nearest computing center," Selina seemed to be holding back a laugh, and said comfortingly, "Then Mr. Highway Bucks should just leave for a sudden business—maybe he is playing cards with his friends at this time?"

...

In a lounge of Cracked Rock Fort, Ropeni Grant was sitting on a high-backed chair by the window. The sunlight that had been gradually tilted through the window brought the heat of midsummer, and the sound of insects was blocked by double-layered crystal glass. Outside, it sounded like it was coming from far away, the ventilation system was running quietly in the ceiling, and the cooled air flow kept the room comfortable.

Luo Peini's eyes fell on the table. It was the report she had just read halfway through. Under the faint yellow sunlight, the lines of letters in the report appeared in her eyes:

…To sum up, the nerve cords deployed in the first phase of the project have been successfully fused in the pre-buried pipelines in the workshop and realized the transmission of biological signals…The operating efficiency of the biomass circulation pipes has reached the design standard…Nerve fiber nets and machine terminals The effective connection between the main brain and the sub-brain is in good physiological condition, and the simulation operation has been realized, and the first experimental workshop can be inspected and accepted at any time and put into use...

Luo Peini carefully read every word in the report, the black spar pendant on her earlobe trembled slightly in the air with the subtle movements of her moving eyes, the exquisitely cut crystal surface constantly reflected the magnificent sunshine color, the quietness in the room There was only the sound of flipping paper—the silence lasted for a long time before it was finally broken by a deliberate "footstep".

Countess Glenn raised her head and saw Selena Geerfen, a bachelor of the node holding a lantern, appearing at the door not far away. She seemed to have just pushed the door and walked in—but in fact, the door had never been opened. Has been opened, and the wanderer from the cyber world has never set foot in the corridor outside the door that should be currently empty.

According to the formation mechanism of psychological projection, Luo Peini knew that she was the only one in this room before she turned her head and looked over, and the figure of the other party only emerged after her gaze - this is the neural network and human senses Fantastic effects of system interactions.

A smile appeared on the district consul's face, and he nodded to Selina: "I thought you would stay with Patty for a while."

"I can meet her in New City of Dreams at any time, but a busy consul like you doesn't have much time to stay in the neural network," Selina smiled, and walked towards the Viscount Luo Penny, "I hope I didn't bother you. to your work."

Ropeni Glenn's eyes fell on this lady who "survived" in the form of an Internet ghost. At this moment, she suddenly felt the unpredictability of fate—as if not long ago, this lady and her In my own eyes, the power represented is still a dark sect through and through. It is a group of people who need to be vigilant and even hostile. According to the cognition, these surrendered eternal sleepers have now become the technicians of the Cecil Empire, and the enemies who needed to be vigilant in the past... At this time, they have also become their own people.

Even their own people with a fairly good relationship.

"I didn't bother you," Luo Penny nodded. "I've just finished processing this report, and then I just have to go to the factory to have a look—there's still some time before that."

"That's fine," Selena said immediately, "we can talk about Patty,"

When Patty was mentioned, the expression on Luo Penny's face immediately became serious, and she first motioned for Selena to take a seat on the chair opposite (although an Internet ghost does not need to sit, it always makes the conversation easier) , and then asked with a serious face: "Has she... already had contact with the target?"

"It's not appropriate to use 'contact', they have been in contact many days ago," Selina first corrected what the Viscount said, and then nodded, "The last test is over, the God of Nature has given I gave Patty a small 'gift', and everything was as we expected—and the two parties were not affected by any external will, and the information was kept closed throughout the process. The test was carried out in a pure state, and the results should be very reliable.

"Currently, Amorn has been temporarily isolated by Naritil in the deep layer of the network, receiving the highest level of monitoring and isolation, while Patty doesn't know anything."

Luo Penny nodded silently, and asked after a few seconds: "What will happen to Patty after this?"

"The power of the God of Nature will work—although this power has weakened a lot now and no longer has the power of a 'miracle' level, it is still enough to make a weak mortal girl healthy. Patty's body Those incongruous man-made and original tissues will gradually adapt, her soul and spirit will be repaired, and she will be healed... There may be a little trace of course, but overall, she will enter the world in good health. adult.

"You can even look forward to seeing her stand up herself on her coming-of-age day and walk up to you for your blessing and hug."

Countess Luo Penny's breathing couldn't help becoming a little short and obvious. She took a deep breath and grabbed the armrest of the chair with her fingers to maintain her calmness. After calming down for a few seconds, she asked: "What about that?" what do I need to do?"

“Cooperate with our observations over the next hour—our online level, your physical level. Pay close attention to Patty’s behavior, to see if there is any sudden whisper or prayer behavior, to see if she will act as if she is listening. What kind of voice, and most importantly...see if she will mention the names of 'Amorne' or 'God of Nature'."
