Chapter 843 Computing Center
Yuri and Semler stood up first, followed by Wendy and several other bishops and archbishops at the scene. Finally, the other priests realized who was in front of them, so the bench rubbed slightly against the clothes and shook. The sound of the sound resounded in the entire assembly hall, and every sleeper stood up.
It's a truly spectacular sight.
Gawain looked at these people in front of him, and looked at these people who had just been transferred from Typhon and who were members of the Dark Sect not long ago, even though he personally facilitated all of this, he still had an unreal feeling at this moment-the whole eternal sleep The sect, the heritage accumulated over seven hundred years, and more than half of the achievements belonged to Cecil now.
These are technicians.
Gao Wen exhaled softly and said lightly, "Sit down."
The three major dark sects, the children of the storm are being eroded and transformed by the power of the deep sea Harmony God. The current situation is unknown; the end of all things will finally live up to its name. Except for a group of remnants who ran into the wasteland to hide, almost all those who stayed in the human kingdom died. , only one plant on the Sorin Plain is left with fruit; the Eternal Sleeper, the cult disintegrated, and the remaining technicians were divided between the two major human empires.
Although this seven-hundred-year-old darkness and chaos cannot be said to have settled down to this day, in Gawain's view, at least the general situation has been settled.
"Yuri, Semler, and... Wendy," Gawain's eyes swept across the faces of several archbishops he knew well, and when his eyes turned to the open space next to him, there were two more figures. Suddenly appeared there, "Ah, and Magnum, Selena... I'm glad to see you arrive safely."
"Your Majesty," Yuri stepped forward slightly, and he stumbled when he said the word "Your Majesty", obviously not very comfortable with the title, then he turned slightly sideways and pointed to the crowd in the hall, "Currently So far, the Eternal Sleepers who have successfully crossed the border are already here - in terms of number, they only account for less than 10% of the entire order, but they are basically all middle and high-level members who have mastered technology, including almost all the archbishops, three One-half of the bishops, as well as some of the elite priests with outstanding abilities, are at your disposal at any time."
That is to say, there are actually a considerable number of mid-level technicians staying in Typhon...
Gao Wen sighed slightly in his heart, but didn't show it, he just nodded and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, you can rest here for a few days first, familiarize yourself with the environment here, and familiarize yourself with you here. There will be special personnel and departments in charge of the laws and rules that must be followed, and arrangements for accommodation and other matters.
"In addition, in the next period of time, these Holy Light priests will live with you, and they will take you to gradually adapt to life here."
The perpetual sleepers at the scene seemed to be a little agitated when they heard his last words, but in the end no one came forward to express their opinions. Gawain was quite satisfied with this.
"Then, others can go to rest, the archbishops stay - I still have things to explain and arrange."
The white knights and battle nuns at the scene immediately stepped forward and led the other priests to leave the assembly hall and head to the pre-arranged residential area. The projection state appeared in front of Gawain's Magnum and Selena.
Magnum looked around curiously at this place, he was not so used to the existence of "psychological projection", so that he kept flickering like a magic spar with poor contact (reminiscent of Kamai in party mode) Er), after discovering that everyone had left, he sensed the changes in the scene as if he had been aware of it, and suddenly looked at Gawain curiously: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what other arrangements do you have?"
"Take you to see your new 'home' next,
Gawain smiled, then lowered his head and said to Amber next to him, "Go to the computing center. "
It wasn't far from where Gawain was going to take them—in fact, it was right next to this meeting place.
Under the escort of a team of white knights, the archbishops walked for less than ten minutes on a road that was completely free of pedestrians and shaded by trees and bushes. in front of everyone.
All kinds of magic machinery that they have never seen before are running tensely and busy in the open space. The extraordinary power is controlled by the most ordinary workers, and it is applied in the most basic construction projects on a large scale. Here, it is orderly and efficient. In the center of the tall construction site, the main body of a building that seems to be five or six stories high, roughly in the shape of a pyramid, with a large amount of runes and magic materials being laid on its surface has been formed, and it stands there in a dignified manner.
Magnum's eyes suddenly widened - almost every archbishop on the scene was more or less surprised.
Some of them were surprised by the "mechanized cluster construction" scene they had never seen before, and some were surprised by the mysterious pyramid building whose style and structure were unheard of. No matter what the surprise was, they all had a surprisingly consistent response: All eyes quickly fell on Gawain.
Magnum stared at the pyramid for a long time, and then looked at Gawain. He was the first to say, "Is that a prison? Or a 'factory' for us to transform?"
He still kept in mind the "reform through labor" that Gawain had previously mentioned at the Supreme Bishops' Conference.
The expressions of several archbishops at the scene became somewhat subtle, and Yuri even spread his hands helplessly - since Magnum became a projection, it was not so easy to cover this loud mouth in time.
Gawain didn't care, he shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, at least none of the people present have reached the point where they must be thrown into prison, and the knowledge you have acquired can also exchange you for a brighter future to the greatest extent possible. As for this facility...in a sense it does make you work in it, but it's not a factory.
"Welcome to the Imperial Computing Center - although it has not yet been completed, some of the facilities in the main building are ready. Come with me and I will show you the future."
Gawain led the eternal sleepers to the pyramid-shaped building with great strides, and everyone followed with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. Amber also stretched his short legs and followed Gawain tightly. When approaching the "pyramid", Yuri noticed that there were many places on the outer edge of its foundation that had not been covered. On the open foundation layer, a large number of neatly arranged hexagonal rune structures could be seen. And there is a faint magic glow flowing between those elements.
This is probably Cecil's "Magic Web," he thought.
From the scale to the precision, it is far superior to the various "counterfeit products" made by other forces.
Afterwards, they stepped through the gate of the pyramid-shaped building, and a large hall illuminated by a lot of lights, which was still being cleaned and installed, appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing they saw was a huge pillar in the center of the hall - the pillar was a cuboid, thicker than the main beam of any castle, and its surface seemed to be made of a large number of silver-white metal plates spliced together , its precise splicing and the distribution of gaps that seem to contain some geometric regularity reveal an intoxicating "beauty" that is difficult to describe in words, because no one has seen anything like it anywhere else.
Between the gaps in those metal plates, and on the surface of some of the special panels, light blue magical brilliance is flowing quietly, and the lights of the stars are flickering like breathing.
This even gave Yuri an illusion - he actually felt that the pillar was alive, and even had his own mind, it was the heart and brain of the building, and those Cecil workers and technicians were putting it Awakening little by little, and this awakening thing...was waiting to communicate with other minds...
Suddenly, Yuri realized that he was not delusional.
He did feel something familiar from that pillar, a magical wave similar to some of the facilities in the Eternal Sleeper headquarters!
"This is the hall of thinking. The pillar in front of you is called the 'mental hub'. It is the first and only mental hub in the empire." Gawain noticed the change in the expressions on Yuri and others' faces, and he deliberately waited. It took a few seconds to explain, "You may have some familiarity with it, which is normal, because this thing... uses your psychic network technology.
"The 'Mind Hub' almost runs through the entire building, with four floors above ground and two floors underground, connecting all levels of computing layers, thinking halls, redundancy centers, and the deepest magic net medium layer. You have noticed those rooms around the hall. Are there more rooms above and below ground with a total of thousands of immersion pods - there will be more in the future, and more computing centers will appear in the various provinces of the Empire, each There will also be more 'distribution stations' near the computing center to undertake more computing tasks.
"The immersion pods in each room will be connected to the mind hub, and then connected to the magic net through the mind hub - after an additional layer of magic net conversion and a new security medium, it is more 'naked' than you used to use the human brain directly. The Internet is much more secure.
"By the way, some of you may not know what an immersion cabin is - you can ask Selena about this, she has seen it."
But Semler didn't care much about what Gawain said in the last sentence.
He, as well as the other archbishops present, all stared at all this, listened to it, and imagined it all in their minds.
This magnificent building, as well as the large-scale, advanced and sophisticated equipment inside, is actually a technical extension of the Eternal Sleeper's spiritual network, but their size and application are completely beyond the understanding of all Eternal Sleepers. , even if they didn't see the whole picture of the building, even if they only glanced at what they could see, Semler and Yuri and others could judge that this thing was definitely not just for the use of the Eternal Sleeper priests who were present--it There are definitely more "users" to accommodate than they think! !
What touched them even more was that there would be more than one "computing center" in the future - every province would have, and even have "distribution stations" for additional expansion facilities. Huge scale?
The original Eternal Sleeper Order also had so-called "external nodes". In addition to the headquarters of Orlandale, they also set up some computing facilities in other places. However, those nodes are pitifully small and their functions are only equivalent to the headquarters. The auxiliary facilities are roughly equivalent to the role of the "distribution station" mentioned by Gawain.
What Gawain described was a future that made them feel unimaginable.
The scale is so large that they even feel that it is a bit more than necessary, a bit bizarre.
"So many, such a large-scale computing center..." Yuri finally couldn't help but say, "Are you planning to let everyone connect to it?"
"Why not?" Gawain asked rhetorically, "The immersion cabin is a safer connection measure, and it can also be used by ordinary people. In fact, Cecil has completed research in this area. Currently, the scale of the computing center is limited. , is just the capacity of the immersion chamber.
"As you said, Yuri, I want this network to cover the entire empire—in my opinion, this is a very useful technology."
The archbishops looked at each other.
It was a road they never thought about - because the direction it represented was once impossible for them!
However, just thinking about the prospect that Gawain had drawn, and the power that could erupt after the spiritual network was rebuilt on the land of the Cecil Empire, they couldn't help feeling dazzled.
"It's even possible..." Magnum couldn't help muttering, "We didn't even imagine such a thing..."
Gawain smiled and glanced at Magnum calmly.
"Because the Order of the Eternal Sleepers is just a Order, and Cecil, an Empire," he said calmly, "what you see are two forces—the power of industry, and the... state machine the power of.
"And your original path of 'salvation by loneliness' was destined to run counter to these two forces.
"Finally, let me say it again - welcome to Cecil, welcome to the future."
