Chapter 473 Technical Value
In Gawain's view, the technology of the Eternal Sleeper has always been very valuable, but it just needs to be transformed.
At present, some of the Eternal Sleeper technology has been used in the magic net communication network established in the territory, but what Gawain wants is far more than that.
For him, what the Eternals have accomplished in neurosurgery and brain immersion technology is equally fascinating.
Daniel is the most senior Eternal Sleeper technician that Gao Wen could find. He has been an Eternal Sleeper believer for more than ten years, and he knows the relevant technologies well. What is more valuable is that he was born as a mage. This "pre-professional" gave him excellent Research skills: Although Gao Wen often says that traditional mages are pedantic and backward, it refers to the group itself. As long as they can become advanced spellcasters, it is impossible in the fields of mathematics, logic and pure intelligence. poor.
Sure enough, Daniel showed a proud look: "My lord, the research in this area has made great progress. I refer to the drawings of the 'crown' device that you gave me before, and design it while preserving its function as much as possible. A set of connection devices that can be used by ordinary people, including connectors that simulate nerve cords and an array of brain wave amplification. In theory, it can achieve the same effect as that crown..."
However, the old mage paused for a while, with a hint of apology and nervousness in his tone: "It's just that it's still not perfect at present, the biggest problem is that it is very large and impossible to carry, and the second is that it consumes a lot of energy... "
Gawain listened calmly, with a slight sigh of relief in his heart: As he expected, it was correct to entrust this task to Daniel.
The "crown device" mentioned by the old mage is nothing but the magic tool that Patty used when she fell asleep. It is a complicated and expensive artifact of the eternal sleeper, which is what Gawain has seen so far. , The only device that allows ordinary people to connect to the spiritual network, some of the runes in the magic web communicator are designed with reference to the crown.
But Patty's tiara has a major flaw: Like all traditional magic items of this era, it's too complex, sophisticated, and expensive to be mass-produced.
So Gawain handed over the information on the crown to Daniel, and asked the old mage to redesign a set of "mind network connectors" based on his own artificial nerve cord and magnifying array, combined with the runes in the crown.
Now he finally waited for the result, although it was still an imperfect one.
"Give me your current research materials and blueprint," Gao Wen nodded slightly to the old mage, "I will continue to improve it."
The old mage nodded quickly, and reproduced the information in his memory in this virtual space through shorthand magic. Looking at the old mage's movements, Gao Wen also slowly came up with some thoughts:
The time seems to be almost here...
Daniel has been observed and tested for a long time,
The security of this hidden virtual space has also been verified, perhaps... He can consider telling the trustworthy people around him about the matter here.
If Daniel's connecting device works, he can connect the technicians on the territory to this virtual space, and using the simulated environment here, many research projects on the territory can be accelerated...
Let Daniel and Carmel contact them, and the researchers in the territory will analyze the technology of the Eternal Sleeper more easily, and the efficiency will also be improved.
Gawain never told the people around him that he was able to connect to the spiritual network. The main issue he considered was security. He didn't want the perpetual sleepers to know that there was a loophole in their spiritual network, and he didn't want them to know that he had infiltrated their network, but After Daniel successfully became a bishop of the Eternal Sleeper, Gawain finally used his hands to establish a primitive IP system and security system in the spiritual network. Using these things, he has confirmed that at least in Lord Cecil There are no Eternal Sleeper network nodes in the city and surrounding areas - so as long as the people who connect to the network are loyal and reliable, there is no need to worry about the leakage of information.
While thinking about it, Daniel had completed the reproduction of the data. The old Master respectfully pushed the drawings full of symbols and words to Gawain: "My lord, this is all the data."
"Very good," Gawain took those materials and said casually, "You should know the forces I established in Ansu."
The old mage bowed his head: "Yes, your loyal servant has heard about it."
"I'm thinking of letting you contact my subordinates in Ansu," Gawain said while noting the change in Daniel's expression, "Do you have an opinion?"
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then showed an excited look: "This is my great honor!"
Obviously, the old mage took this as proof that his loyalty was finally recognized by Gawain.
Gawain could guess what the old man was thinking, but he didn't say anything, just casually reminded the other party: "My identity in Ansu is Gawain Cecil, the founding Duke of the country, not some foreign wanderer. Keep it in mind."
Daniel reacted quickly and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, follow your will..."
"Very good," Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction, then looked up and down the old mage in front of him, "What are the effects of the patterns I gave you?"
Speaking of this, Daniel suddenly showed a humble and grateful look: "They have incredible power!"
Then he talked about the power of those magical patterns and their effects on himself, especially the various benefits of his mental stability: "...In the process of the nervous system slowly recovering , I feel that my mind is much clearer than before, and my thinking ability seems to have returned to the prosperous state of my youth... It is also because of this that I can complete the task you explained so quickly and design a new brain wave connection plan... …”
Gao Wen hummed: "Are there any adverse reactions?"
"No—although I did encounter the state of 'blind pleasure' you mentioned, but it seems that as long as I keep resisting, I can break free, and this is the most incredible thing about it: its intoxicating effect is more intoxicating than anything I know of. A kind of mental illusion is stronger, but it can also keep the person in contact with the greatest degree of sobriety. I think as long as people who do not actively want to give up their minds, they should not be completely controlled by it..."
Speaking of which, Daniel paused and said cautiously, "But I didn't let my apprentices try it... I'm not very at ease with their will..."
Gawain glanced at the old mage lightly: "It should be that you are worried that once they come into contact with that relaxed and pleasant state, they will immediately abandon the painful reality without hesitation."
A trace of embarrassment and annoyance suddenly appeared on Daniel's face: "These years...my spirit has often lost control. I have always been completely awake only in the spiritual network. In the real world outside, I have almost become a distorted person. It's a monster, and it's normal for my apprentice to be terrified of it."
In the real world, the old mage in front of him is a person close to insanity, moody, and tyrannical. This is a fact that Gawain knew after searching Daniel's shallow memory.
Due to overindulging in the sorcery of the Eternal Sleeper, coupled with his long-term failure on the magical path and the sequelae left by neurosurgery, the old mage's spirit has been out of control for the past ten years, and finally has deteriorated to the point where Only in the spiritual network can he maintain a relatively sensible level. In front of Gawain, he appears humble and submissive and has a quick mind. It is entirely because the spiritual network complements his spirit. Once he leaves the network, he is no better than a lunatic. How many.
But Daniel's mental state was not without help.
Gao Wen once taught him the knowledge related to the magic net and advanced mathematical data. In the process, Gao Wen found that the positive emotions generated when learning new knowledge and making progress in research projects greatly eased Daniel's mental out-of-control phenomenon, and after confirming this change, he made an attempt:
He rubbed the pattern on the tentacles of the Siren Tyr in the form of the sea devil, and gave the pattern to Daniel.
He wanted to see how Daniel's mental state would change after being exposed to those weird patterns.
Tyre's sea devil form once left a deep impression on Gawain. The huge body, the countless tentacles that meander and grow, and the strange and coquettish form subverted Gawain for the first time. The inherent impression of "salted fish essence", and the special tentacles possessed by Sea Devil are the things that Gawain remembers the most.
The indescribable patterns, the extremely strong spiritual infestation ability, directly rewrite the attributes of mortal minds. It can be said that if the effects of those patterns were not too positive and funny, Gawain would definitely take Tyre's sea devil tentacles as the first time. It is one of the characteristics of the evil god.
And even though Tyre was so funny because of the pattern effect on his body 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 Tyre mention that the original Kraken didn't exist. In the form of the sea devil, their sea devil form imitates the "big squid" in the deep sea.
Although I don't understand why the salted fish spirits imitating the evil god of the deep sea ended up imitating themselves as the harmonic god of the deep sea, but after all, it may be related to the gods. Gawain has to be careful about it. He wants to test those patterns. Is there any effect after leaving the body? I want to test how effective they are, but I haven't found a suitable test target on the territory. It was not until he gave Daniel a unit test that he had a flash of inspiration. The mental state of the old mage.
There is no more suitable tester than Daniel - his own strength is strong, so you don't have to worry too much about accidents; he is an eternal sleeper cultist with high mental resistance; more importantly, his spirit is quite abnormal, and he is out of the mental network. There is only a thin line between the disabled and the need for treatment...
But after all, he was a double-effect spy that he had managed to cultivate. Gawain was also worried that the old mage would lose control after coming into contact with the patterns that were suspected to be the products of the Heretic God, so he made a lot of warnings in advance. He explained the dangers and possible appearance of those patterns. Daniel's abnormal reaction, and told Daniel to not touch the pattern for more than half an hour each time, and once a strange and funny idea appeared in his heart (such as wanting to dig a big squid), he must stop it 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 finally let out a long sigh of relief——
After coming into contact with those neurotic patterns, the old mage seemed to be more energetic.
"Go back and continue to test those patterns. You can let your apprentices touch them when the conditions are ripe, but pay attention to safety. In addition, it is best not to let you and people other than your apprentices discover those patterns to prevent unnecessary troubles. ," Gawain stood up, his figure gradually fading in the virtual space, "I will contact you again."
Daniel also got up and bent down deeply: "Yes, my lord."
The connection of the mind network was disconnected, and after a brief dizziness and the illusion of weightlessness, the scene of the real world reappeared in Gawain's field of vision.
He saw that Heidi was sitting across from the desk, but she had already fallen asleep on the table and was breathing slightly and evenly.
Gawain didn't wake up his eldest granddaughter who was sleeping soundly - he knew that Heidi was really tired recently and she needed to rest.
Typhon...
"Everyone is developing," Gawain couldn't help muttering softly, "No one will stop..."
