Chapter 844: Come to the Future

come to the future...

This is a brand new word, a statement not heard anywhere else.

It is said that in Cecil almost every day there are such new words "emerging" from various fields, they are used to describe the ever-changing magic technology, used to describe the changing Cecil order, proud Citizens of Cecil took pride in mastering and using these new words, and it even became a sort of label behavior that many people used to label "decent."

Yuri was quite puzzled by this when he was listening to people chatting, but now, looking at this impressive facility in front of him, with the scene described by Gawain sketched in his mind, he suddenly understood.

This is indeed a great creation worth showing off with pride - even blind pride - by anyone.

What made the Archbishops of the Eternal Sleepers at the scene a little ironic is that the technical basis of this creation originated from the Eternal Sleep Order-for hundreds of years, they have held this technology that can change the times, but they have never Without thinking like Gawain Cecil, they carefully hid the technology, buried deep in the ground along with their "grand plan", which they regarded as a "forbidden weapon to challenge the gods" ", and "forbidden weapons"... are naturally rare, secretive, and precious, and they must be isolated from "ordinary people".

Gawain looked at the silent archbishops and knew what they were thinking.

Their courage to challenge the gods is certainly commendable, but the individual heroism of saving the world alone limits their direction. Like almost all extraordinary people in this era, they have never thought about and never believed in collective Power - Naturally, he doesn't understand what a state machine is, let alone what a national war is.

"We've spent centuries going around in circles and burying ourselves in the ground until our heads are suffocated," Magnum muttered (in a volume that can be heard in the audience), "hundreds of years... "

"These hundreds of years have not been in vain," Gawain shook his head. "It was you who laid the technical foundation, which no one can deny. The creation of a technology is the most difficult part, but fortunately you have completed it."

"I have a question," Wendy, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly broke the silence, "Your Majesty, according to your plan, you intend to cover the entire empire with a similar computing center, and then let ordinary people pass the Are the immersion pods' devices connected to the network?"

Gawain nodded: "Of course."

"Would ordinary people be willing to do this? Contribute their own brain computing power... Although it may only be redundant computing power, the majority of people who have doubts must be the majority. 'Connected together, most people rarely have the opportunity to touch magic in their lifetime..."

"I'm glad to see an Eternal Sleeper priest now starting to think from the point of view of ordinary people, but I want to correct you first - in Cecil, 'ordinary people' access to magic is not as difficult as you think," Gawain interrupted Wendy's words, "Secondly, after the initial doubts, the public will soon start to welcome this thing, and then we will even have to take certain measures to limit the public's use of the immersion chamber to Prevent it from affecting the production order of the real economy."

As Gawain said this, he beckoned not far away, Yuri and the others were full of doubts because of Gawain's words, and were about to ask, when they heard a pleasant and metallic vibrato voice suddenly from nearby " "Flying" came over: "Come here - Your Majesty! I just finished calibrating the dynamic ridge in the west area!"

As the words fell, a huge silver-white metal sphere with a wonderful smiling face on its surface floated quickly to Gawain, and the bright and bright surface reflected a group of stunned faces.

Magnum subconsciously exclaimed: "My ancestors... what is this?!"

Before Gawain could speak, Nicholas Egg had turned his face (the ball) and flew in front of Magnum, and a curious metallic vibrato came from the silver-white metal ball: "Ah, bearings and gears! What is this? thing?"

As he spoke, he quickly circled Magnum twice, and the latter's flickering psychological projection instantly faded away, and even Selena, who was not far away, was affected. Nicholas Eggman marveled while flying: "Weird, non-material, interweaving of energy bodies, mixed with subtle magnetic fields that can interfere with carbon-based biological nerve signals, seemingly without a fixed form, but constantly demarcating its own range and scope through energy interaction. Features...a bit like Carmel, but a lot more blurry...ah, levers and pistons! This blob even has an emotional response!!"

Magnum's eyes were almost round, and while trying to dodge the invisible forbidden magic field beside Nicholas Egg, he shouted: "What the hell is this terrifying sphere talking about!"

"Nicholas, this is a guest," Gawain finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly stopped the iron ball star's strange behavior, and after calling the other party back, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you see in your eyes? Did you arrive at an energy body without a fixed form?"

"Correct, this ball is not seen with 'eyes', but a kind of... well, it can be regarded as an eye, which is easy to understand," Nicholas Egg replied casually, "As for the energy body... Strictly speaking , I feel like it's some kind of intertwined 'field', I know it's easy to confuse the two concepts, but they're just not the same..."

Gawain quickly understood what had just happened, and realized that he had overlooked some key points before: Although Nicholas Egg was always an intelligent creature that could communicate with humans normally, and had emotions that humans could understand, he was after all. It is an "alien life form" with a very strange life form. When facing some things that are accustomed to human senses, what he observes is likely to be completely different!

This time is the most obvious example - Magnum and Selena have become spiritual bodies living in a network of minds, they can appear in front of ordinary people, relying entirely on "psychological projection", by disturbing the observer However, Nicholas Egg...he doesn't have a nervous system, at least not like a human nervous system.

He can still perceive the existence of Magnum and Selena, but what he "sees" is a large undulating, turbulent but orderly "field"...

This is a very important phenomenon, and maybe it can be used in the field of research in the future, such as... Further analysis of magic power?

Gawain shook his head slightly, and put aside the research ideas that suddenly appeared in his heart for a while, he briefly introduced the eternal sleepers at the scene, and then pointed to Nicholas and said to Yuri and others: "This is the great artisan of the empire. , Nicholas, you will have frequent dealings with this great craftsman in the future."

"When you're not familiar enough, please call me by my full name, St. Nicholas Egg," the silver-white metal ball fluttered twice in the air, and said in a reserved and proud tone, "and in terms of qualifications, you guys Some respect for me, too - a master craftsman is an amazing job."

Magnum looked at the metal ball in front of him with lingering fears - he sighed in his heart that this land ruled by foreign wanderers is indeed full of terrible and strange things, but he didn't directly say what he was thinking.

After observing for two seconds, he decided to say hello to the other party, which may help bring the relationship closer and reduce some unnecessary dangers in the future "working together" process: "Nice to meet you, Nicholas Mr. Egg...Sir, uh, or ma'am? Sorry, are you a boy or a girl?"

Gawain suddenly gave Magnum a deep look.

And Yuri once again failed to stop his old partner from speaking freely.

In fact, he didn't want to stop him that much, including others - the archbishops have a subtle understanding on this point.

We have worked together for many years, and we know each other's temperament and personalities. Many times they are actually happy to see Magnum take the initiative to speak. This loud and straightforward former Ares priest is always able to say what everyone wants to say but it is difficult to speak directly. Speaking out, this is the case on any occasion. In this way, only Magnum himself will be offended, while others can enjoy the information exchanged after Magnum speaks.

No doubt, this is a good thing.

"You should call me 'Sir'!" Nicholas Egg's humming voice suddenly rose high, and Magnum offended someone again -- maybe offended Ball, and the others got the answer without a hitch, "Damn it. Yes, don't you have eyes, this ball has such a distinct sexuality..."

This time, even Gawain was silent.

He thought it would be too bizarre to continue the topic.

"Stop for a moment—you'll have time to build your relationship later," he said in a deep voice, instantly making everyone at the scene quiet, "Let's get back to business. Nicholas, which room is available now?"

"A room that can be used? The computing facilities on the second floor can be used, and the third floor needs to be adjusted."

Gawain nodded (things are finally back on track): "Take us to the second floor, prepare a set of immersion cabins, and activate the No. 2 demo sample."

"Hold on."

Nicholas said simply, and then backed away slightly. It directly activated a nearby device with an invisible magnetic field. With a very slight buzzing sound, Yuri and the others saw a half-moon-shaped The lift platform descended from near the mind hub.

Gawain walked towards the platform first, and the others followed.

This pyramid facility has not been completely completed, and many areas in it are still being finalized, but some rooms have been delivered, and in order to debug the equipment has been put into operation, under the leadership of Nicholas Egg, a group of people entered the facility. On the second floor, and through a corridor that was not very long, they finally came to a clean and well-lit room that had been cleaned up.

In the center of the spacious room stood an alloy cylinder, and more than ten silver-white immersion cabin devices were neatly arranged around the column. The columns were connected, and on that column, Yuri and the others once again felt the same magical fluctuations as the mental hub in the hall.

As Gawain said, every thought connection device in this facility is connected to the huge pillar in the center of the hall.

Gawain came to an immersion cabin with the hatch open, turned his head to glance at the archbishops, and smiled: "Does anyone want to try Cecil's 'mind network'?"

The archbishops looked at each other, and after they exchanged glances, Wendy was the first to stand up.

"Ladies first," the beautiful lady smiled and walked over to the immersion pod, "and I've been interested in Cecil's 'magic technology' for a long time. How do I use it? Lie in there. Do you need to prepare any spells or incantations?"

"You can just lie in. This is for ordinary people. Naturally, you don't need any spells and incantations," Gawain said casually. "The experience time is only ten minutes, so you won't feel tired."

Wendy nodded, and with the help of Amber, lay down into the immersion cabin. Then, under the watchful eyes of the rest of the archbishops, the immersion cabin closed with a slight crackling sound from the hatch cover, and the rune drag chain connected to the device And the many runes on the base of the immersion cabin light up one by one instantly.

Magnum watched this scene with wide eyes, and couldn't help muttering while caring about the development of the matter: "At least in terms of comfort, this thing is much better than ours..."

"You don't have to think about it now," Yuri glanced at him, "unless you can get back into your body."

Magnum put his hands on his chest: "What if! What if!"

Except for the two of them, almost everyone at the scene didn't say a word, just waiting for Wendy to end this "experience", and they didn't wait too long.

Ten minutes later, the lid of the immersion chamber was gently opened.

Wendy sat up from the inside with a daze after the disconnection, and her compatriots in the sect immediately gathered around, but facing the curious archbishops, her first reaction was to look at Gawain: "I Can we watch it for a while? The plot has just begun..."

Yuri couldn't help but wonder: "What did you see inside?"

"It's an immersion theater," Gawain said before Wendy spoke, "but since it's a test phase, we can only reproduce some relatively short clips - Wendy, what you see That's all there is to it, but rest assured, it will be perfected soon, and there will be more in there in the future than the immersion theater."

Having said this, he smiled slightly: "Now, do you think ordinary people would be willing to lie here and contribute computing power?"

"Let me confirm first," Wendy said, "this device and the things it presents don't need the caster to maintain it? Unlike the City of Dreams, which needs to absorb the user's mental power all the time, nor Will there be a hidden danger of mental pollution?"

Gawain nodded: "Of course."

"Then I don't have any doubts—" Wendy said quickly, "If I were an ordinary person, I would pay for it!"
