Chapter 1482: Theory and Practice

Frankly speaking, Gao Wen is not an expert in the technical field - although he will actively participate in the discussion of some technical issues, it is more because he has a broad mind and insight from another world With a unique perspective, if he really talks about theories and formulas, it is impossible for him to compare with professionals like Rebecca and Jenny.

But precisely because of his open mind, sometimes he can discover some problems from perspectives other than theoretical formulas. These problems are often ignored by "local people" or even "local gods".

"The key reason why the gods are immune to the influence of the magic tide is the 'closed loop of information'. To put it bluntly, it is actually 'I observe myself'," Gao Wen slowly explained his thoughts after seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of Jenny and Rebecca. , "If the Nuoyi people's 'Mind Unification Field' is also based on this to achieve the effect of fighting against the demon tide, then this thing will inevitably put the mortals in the protection field in the same state...

"Through the closed loop of information, the 'observer effect' of mortals is separated from the real universe outside the protection field, or to explain it according to our existing term, it is to use a powerful and chaotic 'non-directional trend of thought' to separate Wrap the entire planet to block the information exchange between us and the 'real universe' outside the barrier...

"So from this level, when the unified field of mind is activated, the mortal body that realizes the information closed loop is actually similar to a 'god' with the same information closed loop..."

Rebecca has already understood the thoughts of her ancestors, she slowly reacted from the astonishment, and muttered to herself: "Let the entire mortal civilization stand in the universe with a posture almost like a god, so as to face the demon tide... ...the line of thinking is just...amazing."

"But won't this be a problem?" Jenny seemed a little worried, "Would it really not cause some kind of...shackles if the entire mortal group enters a 'god-like' state? Just like the spiritual stamp we are facing now Like the chain of belief, it is also the result of the influence of the trend of thought..."

"That's the key - we're so limited in our thinking about this, we're so stressed out about gods and a lot of things about gods that we tend to subconsciously think about it intuitively rather than rationally. ,” Gao Wen said without waiting for Jenny to finish speaking, “Why do mind stamps and shackles of belief appear? It is because of the unconditional worship and long-term ‘collective fantasies’ of mortal groups towards an illusory goal, and because of blind awe. And 'self-imprisonment', the gods were produced after that, not the worship and shackles that were produced because of the gods.

"We must not get this sequence wrong, nor ignore the prerequisites for all of this.

"Then make a judgment on this basis. A simple 'information closed loop' will not create spiritual stamps and shackles of belief, because what creates the closed loop effect is the 'non-directional trend of thought', which is the collective subconsciousness of a large number of mortals. The ethos of Chaos does not involve any explicit adoration or reverence at all, nor does it point to any unifying 'goal' - it does not even point to mortals themselves.

"That's why I said just now that after the activation of the mind unity field, the mortal is 'regarded' as a god,

Instead of really turning the mortal group into some kind of god. "

Speaking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but paused, his eyes swept over Jenny and Rebecca, and his tone became solemn: "We shouldn't 'talk about changing expressions', being too conservative in this respect is actually going from an extreme Going to the other extreme, remember what we said when we first studied the divine power inverter array? As long as it is based on a clear mind and rational thinking, even the power of the gods can be turned into a technical means in the hands of mortals '."

Gao Wen's words made Jenny wake up instantly, she touched her cheek subconsciously, her eyes changed slightly: "It's just a technical means... I almost took the road of blind conservatism... You are right, we shouldn't 'Talk about the change of expression', after all, even real gods can be described by theories and formulas!"

Gao Wen nodded lightly, turned his gaze back to the blueprint in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The biggest good news for us now is that the 'mind unification field' has a certain feasibility, and it is no longer a completely unknown phantom."

"Yes, yes," Rebecca nodded vigorously, "At first, no one could figure out what the Nuoi people's mental unification field was, and they didn't know whether it would work for the Loren people, or even Can we make it, so even though the plan of the 'Magic Tide Observation Device' was finalized in the previous meeting, everyone has been wondering, after all, we have no idea on 'protection'..."

Jenny is not as optimistic as Rebecca. Although many problems have been solved, her expression is still serious and gloomy. After a moment of contemplation, the chief rune master with pale hair suddenly said: "But despite this, we There is still a long way to go before a truly usable 'Mental Unity Field', Your Majesty, don't forget its size."

Jenny's words were like a gust of cold wind, which suddenly froze the atmosphere in the study, and even the expression on Rebecca's face froze.

Gao Wen didn't say anything, because he knew the existence of this problem from just now, and knew that the situation was still not optimistic.

When they first obtained the blueprint of the "Mind Unification Field", the technical experts were shocked by its astonishing scale, and felt a little desperate after roughly calculating the construction cost and cycle of this thing. The giant of the planet, it contains countless link nodes and projection devices all over the world, as well as the matching huge energy system and distributed control hub.

Only in this way can it form a barrier that can protect all human beings... But how long will it take to create this thing?

It took the Nuoi people 1,400 years to build their mental unification field—even considering that their productivity was relatively low when they started the project and the construction period was too long, this is also a challenge to the current Loren An unimaginable project for the alliance.

For the Loren Alliance, which may only have one and a half years of preparation time left, and the tide of magic is gradually approaching the home planet, building a "Mind Unification Field" from scratch is an impossible task. When Jenny and Rui After Beka saw the structure of the neural network and the anti-divinity barrier from the drawings of the Noi people, this problem seemed to be a little less hopeless—lucky or coincidental, Cecil had already This protection system has laid a certain foundation, at least this project does not have to "start from scratch" now.

But even so, with the scale of the current neural network and anti-divine barrier, it is far from enough to support a protective barrier that can protect the whole world.

"I want to confirm one thing first," Gao Wen finally said slowly after a moment of contemplation, "start with the basic part, as the 'source' of the anti-theistic barrier, how many nodes in the neural network need to be connected to support a A unified field of mind that protects the globe?"

In the protective system of the Nuoyi people, the network (neural network) connected by a large number of mortal minds is equivalent to a "source of generation", which is responsible for generating a powerful "non-directional trend of thought", and the force field generation and projection device It is responsible for transforming the non-directional thought trend into a unified field of mind (the anti-phase state of the anti-divinity barrier) and projecting it over the planet. It does not need to connect the minds of all human beings to the network, nor does it allow human beings to hide in the network "Refuge" in.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the node size of the neural network can reach a certain threshold, a strong enough "non-directional trend of thought" can be generated to meet the demand.

Therefore, the scale of the "basic project" of the neural network does not necessarily need to spread all over the world. At least when the Cecil Empire has laid a certain foundation for it, it is possible for it to meet the requirements of the blueprint.

"We've only made a rough calculation so far." Jenny obviously had made a lot of preparations in advance and responded to Gao Wen's question. "In principle, the more thinking nodes are connected in the neural network, the 'non- The more powerful the directional thought trend is, the more effectively it can cover the observer effect, but in fact, as long as the existing neural network is expanded by two to three times, the resulting 'non-directional thought trend' will It is enough to activate the barrier...Of course, continuing to expand the network size on this basis can make the effect better, but this is not necessary."

The existing neural network also needs to be expanded two to three times...

"So, this is achievable." Gao Wen thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Yes, this part can be realized." Rebecca next to me nodded, "The current domestic neural network is developing rapidly, and its promotion in other countries is also going smoothly. In less than a year and a half, the number of neural network nodes in the entire alliance can reach three times the current size - this thing is amazingly attractive to everyone, and the immersion chamber is now also something that can be industrially mass-produced. Not difficult."

"So the difficulty lies in the other part," Gawain said slowly, "Force field projection..."

"According to the blueprint of the Noi people, we need to cover the whole world with the projection devices of the unified mind field to produce a complete protective effect." Jenny nodded slightly. "Compared to the neural network, these projection devices are what we really can't get around. 'Tough battle'. At present, the coverage of the most powerful 'anti-theistic barrier generator' we have produced is only a few blocks in size, and due to the use of a lot of precision technology, its production and assembly cycle is very long, one and a half years ... Let alone covering this planet, even covering half of the southern border would be a problem..."

"What if all the countries in the alliance go all out to produce barrier generators?" Rebecca thought for a while, then looked at Jenny, "I remember that the elves recently restarted many ancient manufacturing stations. Although the equipment is very old, but The production efficiency is very high, and the production mode can be adjusted flexibly. Most modern industrial parts can be processed..."

"But there is only one silver empire in the alliance that has this kind of 'coffin book'," Gawain shook his head, "At most, Typhon can use their 'money ability', coupled with the sea monster's deep-sea technology, but I'm afraid it's still very difficult To meet the gap. Now we are facing a planet-level project, even if all countries in the alliance have the same production capacity as Cecil, it may not be effective, not to mention that the industrialization of most countries in the alliance has just started..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

The tide of magic came too early.

Many countries in the alliance are not ready at all, not even in this era. Except for the "leading countries" such as the three empires, sea monsters, and giant dragons, most of the member states are still in the magic workshop+ In the initial stage of the industry created by craftsmen, such an alliance suddenly faces a planet-level project. This is no longer a problem of the wheels of the times coming - it is that the wheels of the times have already run over the face .

And this is a "Warhammer-II" heavy tank.

"We need to brainstorm." After a moment of contemplation and silence, Gao Wen gently shook his head. "We need more smart people to participate, including scholars from other countries. Now we have figured out the blueprint of the Noi people." What are you talking about? Then the next step is to figure out what to do. Contact the Silver Empire’s Astromancers’ Association, Typhon’s Royal Mages’ Association, Siren’s deep sea witches, and the giant dragon... We now need all Opinions from all sides, and any line of thought cannot be let go."

"Yes," Jenny immediately bent down, "as you wish."

"Before discussing the problem of force field projection, the work of expanding and transforming the neural network must also be incorporated into the 'Magic Tide Countermeasure Project'," Gao Wen continued, "Although the growth rate of the neural network can already meet the Barrier needs, but scale growth alone is not enough, we also need to consider that it will be the "source of occurrence" of the "unified mind field" in the future... We can no longer develop the network according to the original plan, and we need to re-plan. Make some preparations in advance for connections with other subsystems."

He raised his head and looked at Rebecca: "Go and find your aunt, she may have to work a little...overtime."

"Hey!" Rebecca immediately agreed, turned her head and walked towards the door of the study, but just halfway there, she stopped suddenly, shrank her neck and turned her head to look at Gawain, "I'll go tell my aunt You won't be beaten for this, right?"

Gao Wen glared at her: "I asked you to pass the message, why would she hit you?"

"Oh." Rebecca nodded, and then walked out of the room in relief.

...

At the same time, in the hinterland of the Ogure tribal country, the quiet night is covering the forests and mountains of this ancient land, and the sacred ancestor peak stands under the starry sky.

At the foot of the Ancestor Peak, the head of the gray elves, Wenna Baizhi, stood on the edge of the balcony of the highest meeting hall in Helm City. She held on to the stone railing with both hands, quietly looking at the high mountain bathed in starlight.

On the top of the mountain, some lights and the silhouette of a tall tower can be vaguely seen.

The place where the lights converge is the settlement of the goblins on the mountain, and that majestic tower is the main hub of the magic net at the top of the Ancestor Peak—it is also the largest hub tower in the entire Ogulei Tribal Country.

A slightly hoarse voice came from the side: "You have been staring at the Ancestor Peak today."

Wen Na turned her head, raised her head, and saw an unusually tall figure standing beside her.

"Camilla, you're standing too close, it's tiring to talk with your head up."

"Oh, sorry," the chief hurriedly took half a step back, and at the same time cast his gaze on the towering mountain, "calculate the time...'that lady' should arrive around this time."

"Well, soon," Wen Na nodded lightly, "Just now Stella has sent a message from the mountain, saying that she has received a transmission signal."

Camilla pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but said after hesitation: "...You said, if we do this, will the ancestors in the mountains really not blame us?"

"...If the ancestors are really in that mountain, then they will only be proud of us." After a few seconds of silence, Wen Na slowly shook her head, "If they are not there, then we don't have to hesitate what."

Camilla opened her eyes slightly, and her pale golden cat pupils quietly stared at her childhood playmate in front of her in the night. After a few seconds, she sighed softly: "...you really deserve to be a profiteer. Thicker skinned than me."
