Chapter 540 Technology Extends Forward

In the Mind Connection Technology Laboratory, the old Druid Pittman was still lying quietly in the silver-white seat.

The runes on the bottom of the seat were flickering on and off regularly, a faint bluish shimmer floated on the artificial nerve cords that connected the base to the neural contact array, and a low hum came from inside the device. , that was the sound of the resonance and tremor between the rune boards, and the old Druid sitting in the device closed his eyes tightly, as if he had fallen into the deepest sleep.

"He's already connected to the network," Gawain said, "and now he's communicating with the correspondent on the network."

"The connection is stable, and the frequency orientation is normal," Kamal said while floating beside an operating console not far from the cockpit, while monitoring the flickering runes on the operating console. "There is no sign of exposure for the time being."

"Vital signs are stable, nerve pressure is normal." "Emergency fuse is normal." "Brain activity is being monitored continuously."

In a series of reports from all over the lab, everyone around the connection unit breathed a sigh of relief.

Amber couldn't help muttering: "Huh-I thought this old man would die on it."

Even though this guy has no respect for Pittman's rambunctiousness on weekdays, Gawain could see that Amber still cares a little about Pittman, who is like a half adoptive father.

Gawain looked at Jenny, who was standing quietly not far away: "The rune system of the Eternal Sleeper can also be optimized and reorganized by Rune Logic, right?"

"Yes...Yes," Jenny replied quickly, "Although we encountered some difficulties in re-determining the interference value at the beginning, we finally found that the rune system of the Eternal Sleeper still follows the laws of rune logic. And inverter technology can also be used in this connection device..."

"Eternal Sleepers...their dark magic is similar to Druid's magic, and it is also transformed from magic," Gawain sighed thoughtfully, "Gods... your veil is really getting thinner and thinner. now..."

"The test time is over, and the prompt information is ready to be transmitted... The prompt information has been sent, and the subject's brainwave feedback has been received... Disconnect the nerve cord."

The technician in charge of controlling the connection device suddenly made a noise, interrupting Gawain's self-talk, and then, with a gradually lowering resonance sound, the rune brilliance at the bottom of the silver-white seat gradually dimmed.

Pittman lay quietly on the seat for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, and then took a deep breath as if he suddenly remembered how to breathe,

The old body made a sound like an old bellows. After more than ten seconds, he stabilized and took a long breath: "Hu... It feels so good to be back in the body..."

"It's the first time to get out of the mind network, you'll experience severe dizziness and a sense of weightlessness," Gawain nodded as he watched an assistant step up to help the old Druid out of the seat, and then showed a serious expression. Appearance, "But before that, for the sake of rigor and safety, we must first confirm one thing..."

Carmel left the monitoring station and floated to the link.

Gawain looked into the eyes of the old Druid: "Prove that you are still Pitman, not some eternal sleeper who infiltrated the Internet."

"Good luck ointment two silver coins a bottle, out-of-print amulet buy two get one free, the first three divinations are half price, free to help name!"

Half of the people at the scene covered their faces and turned their heads. Carmel's brightness also dimmed by 30%. Only Gawain smiled and took Pittman's hand: "Welcome back to Cecil. Except for the dizziness. Is there any other discomfort?"

Pittman is an extraordinary person after all. He stood beside the cockpit for a while, took a few breaths and recovered, then frowned and thought for a while: "There are generally no sequelae, but... Can the connection code be changed in the future? This? The password is still too embarrassing for an old man like me..."

"A 737-year-old old man designed a password for you, what is there to be embarrassed about you being less than 87 years old?" Before Gawain could speak, Amber next to him glanced at the little old man. The two elderly people at the scene choked at one sentence were speechless, "And you also have the concept of 'embarrassment'?"

Pittman: "..."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Let's talk about the situation after the connection," Gawain felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more strange, and quickly coughed twice to bring the topic back to the right track, "Which floor did you sneak into? What did you see during the connection? Did you see anything? Was it intercepted or scanned by a security system?"

The technical personnel present immediately gathered together, and everyone looked at Pittman standing in the middle with curiosity and inquiry, Pittman said after a little bit of arranging his thoughts: "I sneaked in It should be the level called the 'level of consciousness', where the city of dreams is located, the area where all surface consciousness meets. Most stages of the connection process are non-visual, and can only produce intermittent hallucinations... I should have completely bypassed the security mechanism, or rather, the security mechanism completely ignored my connection..."

Pittman quietly talked about what he had seen and heard during the entire connection process. Everyone around him listened carefully, even Amber, who was the most restless, opened his curious eyes at this time. I heard the last word without saying a word.

"…To sum up, I think our first stage of real-world testing was completely successful, the connection device was stable and reliable, and the 'safe channel' was equally reliable," Pittman concluded. "The next step, we should consider multiple connections. already."

Gawain nodded slightly and looked at Rebecca: "Is it possible for this connection device to be mass-produced?"

"It's difficult for the time being," Rebecca thought for a while, showing an embarrassed look, "Some key components can only be processed in the laboratory, such as the organic medium ring of the artificial nerve cord - the main reason is that the processing process is too complicated In the middle, you need to use magic devices frequently to make adjustments, and you need to have a certain degree of Druid knowledge. The level of workers in the factory is probably not enough, and it will take a long time to train workers with sufficient skills."

In most cases, the main factor restricting the mass production process of Cecil's new things is not the machine precision, because of the foundational role of Nicholas' egg in the initial stage, Cecil's industrial machines have solved most of the precision problems from the beginning. - Worker skills are a long-term bottleneck.

Humans are not machines after all, and it takes time to cultivate and accumulate a large number of skilled workers.

"Take your time, it is unrealistic to directly promote this kind of device to the whole people..." Gao Wen sighed and accepted the reality, "At this stage, we will first conduct laboratory manufacturing and assemble a device that can be used by a project team. It depends on the actual situation.”

"For a project team..." Carmel heard something from Gawain's words, "Are you planning to... conduct an experimental project in the mind network of the Eternal Sleeper?"

"Don't you think it's good?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "Of course such a good technology should be used in research, wouldn't it be a waste to use it for daydreaming?"

Carmel was slightly startled, then bent down, with a smile in his tone: "...I agree."

"Then, we should give this connection a name," Gawain nodded, pointing to the silver-white seat or cockpit on the platform, "Do you have any comments?"

Pittman, Jenny and the others exchanged glances - except for Carmel, whose eyes were not very easy to understand - and then looked at Gawain in unison.

"We think it should be named by you," Jenny smiled and said respectfully and seriously, "although it is the result of our creation, all related technologies are collected by you through various channels, and most of the project is Inspiration also comes from you, and it’s only fitting that you name it.”

Although Gawain wanted to say that the glory of technology should be most attributed to the inventor of the technology, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that most of the technology in this connection device is the product of the Eternal Sleeper cult, so he did not refuse too much. , but looked at the silver-white seat and fell into a brief thought.

A little bit of bad taste came to my mind unknowingly.

Anyway, the style of this thing is not normal.

"Immersive neurological cockpit," Gawain said with a name that he thought best suited the style of the painting, "let's call it an immersive neurological cockpit—the immersion pod for short, how about it?"

"Immersed neural cockpit..." Carmel repeated this ad hoc phrase, and although it sounds odd to read, these short few words describe all the characteristics of the connection device just right. Can't help nodding, "It's a good name."

Gawain and Amber left the Institute of Magical Technology, and with them, Pittman, who was about to go back to rest.

The streets of Cecil City are still lively and vibrant.

"It's a beautiful city," Pittman suddenly exclaimed while walking down the street, "Really, it's so beautiful."

"City of Dreams?" Gawain stopped and glanced at the little old man, "Be careful, it's easy for those who come into contact with it for the first time to be immersed in it."

"I won't," Pittman winked and laughed, "that city is beautiful, even perfect, but it's so perfect that I'm not attracted to it—it's perfect Makes me a little scared."

Gawain shook his head and continued to walk forward: "A world that is too perfect, people can't help but think of the legendary kingdom of heaven that people only arrive after they die-entering such a city alive is indeed unnerving."

Pittman suddenly became curious: "Do you have experience, is there really a perfect heaven after death?"

"...I'm just making an analogy."

They passed the "Amethyst Street" on the edge of the mage's district, where a crowd was gathering at the entrance of a newly opened store.

Gawain raised his head and looked forward, and saw the sign of "Government Affairs Office Supervision Project" hanging at the entrance of the store, and in the window next to it, there were large arms that were neat, reflecting the sunlight and exuding a metallic texture. Ring or gauntlet-like device.

Gao Wen muttered softly: "Has the first retail store of magic guide terminal open to civilians started its trial operation..."

As one of Cecil's earliest products of magic technology, the magic terminal is not a sophisticated thing, and as a compatible platform that can replace the core module, this device has a high degree of civilian use from the beginning. Potential - it can be equipped with lethal spells as a weapon, or it can be equipped with auxiliary rune inserts to become a convenient tool. For Gao Wen, who always wants to push extraordinary power to the whole people, this thing is very useful. Civilization is inevitable.

As early as last year, Rebecca and others successfully manufactured engineering terminals with welding, cutting, and traction functions based on the soldiers' magic terminals, and distributed them to magic technicians and engineers. After a period of data collection and improvement, a civilian version of the magic terminal that is easier to use, safer and cheaper finally appeared in front of ordinary people.

The power of these magic terminals is lower, but they can still be used to release the most basic tricks and some reduced power protection spells. Ordinary people can use them as tools, and they can also use them in the wild. Self-defense is really a very convenient thing.

But Gawain observed in front of the store for a while, but found that although there were a lot of people gathered, very few citizens actually paid for the magic terminal.

"It's normal. Magic is still a 'transcendent' thing for most people. Even if they are surrounded by magical powers, most people probably never thought that they would 'cast spells' themselves," Pittman said. He said on the side, "And to be honest, although dozens of silver coins are not many, they are a lot of money for many people. Ordinary people who are used to being diligent and thrifty will not rashly spend so much money just because they are novel and interesting. to buy a strange thing."

This is an inevitable phenomenon in the process of promoting magic technology.

Gawain looked at the store where the crowd gathered in the distance, thought for a moment, then turned to Amber and said, "Let your operatives guide you a little."

Amber agreed casually: "Okay."

Hearing Amber's agreement so happily, Gawain was surprised: "Why did you agree so succinctly this time?"

"It's the old job of many people in the gang of bastards," Amber waved his hand, "What to say to guide, isn't it just being a trustee..."

Gawain: "...you're right to understand that."

The three took a last look at the store that sold civilian magic guide terminals, and before turning to leave, Pittman suddenly said: "Actually, nerve cord technology can not only be used to establish brain-computer connections and allow people to enter the spiritual network, it is There is another possible application direction.”

Gawain's tone rose: "Oh?"

"You are committed to enabling ordinary people to master the power of magic - the magic terminal can solve half of the problems, and the nerve cord... may solve the other half of the problems for you."
