Chapter 855

Compared with Cecil's existing network technicians, the biggest advantage of the Eternal Sleepers should be that they are very familiar with the process of thinking networking and deal with various unexpected situations - in the past many years, they have used the most dangerous ways. Expose their brains directly to a large-scale computing network, the lack of security mechanisms and the congenital defects of "human flesh connection" make the eternal sleepers have to face some dangerous situations from time to time, including but not limited to overloaded brain nerves, mental suffering. damage, memory streaming, and problems with the soul.

For them, all this is commonplace.

It is for this reason that the "immersion pods" made by the Cecilians, with a stack of safety devices and a physical layer of insurance, seem to these eternal sleepers to be as safe as steel fortresses, which can protect both the body and the The kind of mind, you will feel a sense of physical and mental relaxation when you lie in it - you don't have to spend energy to maintain the network connection, and you don't have to worry about any mental noise directly shining into your head. Many bishops claim that they can lie in it for a lifetime.

Magnum was very surprised at the safety level of those immersion cabins at first. He could see how much the Cecilians had spent on R&D for these safety measures, but soon he figured out the key - the Eternal Sleeper had The spiritual network is for the extraordinary. With very few exceptions, everyone who is connected to the Internet has a strong spiritual power. If you encounter a problem, you will pass it by yourself. If you can't resist it, it's a big deal to go back and bury it. After all, everyone It is a dark sect, and it is part of traditional customs to occasionally hang up one or two.

But Cecil is different. Their network is for ordinary people, and the fragile mind and body of ordinary people need more protection. As a responsible empire, they have a greater obligation to protect citizens. It also led to the immersion cabins they made with the highest requirements for safety, and even sacrificed part of the connection performance for this...

The two technical ideas are right or wrong. Archbishops including Yuri and Magnum believe that there is no doubt about it - Emperor Cecil is a foreigner, and the priests in this place carry more warhammers than human heads. Large, the locals are keen to use explosions and earthquakes to mine mountains.

The truth is unquestionably in - and always in - the hands of the Cecil Empire.

Imperial Computing Center, Thinking Hall, in front of Mind Hub.

The dazzling brilliance floats on the surface of the silver-white alloy pillars, and the veins formed by arcane energy rise and fall like breathing in the gaps of the metal modules. Figures emerge from the surface of the pillars, soaring along their alloy shells, and a melodious low hum echoes softly in this bright hall, as if it contains a continual awakening of life.

"The third trial start, the base magic net has been stably supplied with energy," a technician from the Magic Technology Research Institute stood in front of the nearby console, and said loudly while looking at the many runes lit up above, "Mind Nexus begins to output sequential signals - all signals confirmed!"

Yuri and Wendy stood in front of the silver-white alloy column,

Listening to the mage technician's high-pitched report on the progress, the former nodded slightly: "It seems to have started successfully."

"Finally it's time to start..." Wendy seemed to be answering Yuri, and said softly as if talking to herself, then she took a step forward, lightly placed her hand on the alloy shell of the large pillar, and started Unleash your spiritual power.

In this era, in the field of research, "superhumans can manipulate magic without using additional tools when debugging certain equipment" has probably become their only advantage over ordinary researchers.

All eyes in the hall were instantly focused on Wendy.

Cecil's local technicians are watching her, and they are watching the mental hub in front of her - countless people have spent a lot of effort on this thing, and only those who often deal with immersion cabins and networks will understand this thing What does it mean, they watched this scene as if they were watching the future of technology.

Several fellow Eternal Sleepers at the scene are also watching her, but they are watching the past of the Eternal Sleeper Order: an old era is over, and new magic technology will be used to take over everything they have ever created, that The icy equipment is overlooking here, and inside it, seven hundred years of technology accumulation is awakening in an unprecedented way.

Some people are looking forward to it, some people are emotional.

Ripples of magic power appeared in the mind hub, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Hello, future."

Almost at the same time, a clear holographic projection appeared over the Mind Hub console on the side. Magnum's figure appeared in the holographic projection. Jump! Have I entered the mind hub?"

The magician in front of the console didn't seem to see the sudden appearance of Magnum, and still reported the situation with a stern face: "The mind hub has begun to output responses... All channels are unblocked, we can 'see' the test team's message The signal is coming."

Magnum stared, looked around the hall, and then pointed to himself: "Is the 'signal' talking about me?"

Yuri frowned immediately: "Enough, this is a serious occasion - we shouldn't have agreed to let you enter the mind hub first!"

Magnum, who had been transferred to the mind hub, spread his hands when he heard the words: "Ms. Selena is monitoring and uploading, Your Excellency Megall is on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, and there is only one mind in the network - do you want to upload yourself? Come in with me?"

Yuri pressed his forehead subconsciously: "...I shouldn't have reasoned with you... Anyway, how do you feel now?"

"...In terms of general perception, it is no different from our own mental space," Magnum finally got serious and began to answer Yuri's question, "It's just that this place is still very... 'barren', I was thrown into a void. , there are only some basic 'frames' and 'platforms' here, which should be the original space built into the mind hub. But I can feel the other people - those compatriots who are using the immersion pods, and I can feel their minds in Around me, I just can't see it for the time being..."

Wendy nodded slightly: "Several test groups are still waiting for the next step. It's normal that you can't see them until all channels are turned on."

"Well, I think so too," Magnum said casually. "Also, I can still feel that this place is... cramped. But I think it must be due to the limited number of nodes."

Yuri nodded: "At present, counting the ordinary testers on shift, we can only guarantee that there are a thousand nodes to maintain floating connections, and some of them are also used for some additional test projects, and the remaining nodes are of course not. It may maintain the scale of the previous mind network. But everything will be better soon - all the immersion cabins have passed the test, the second batch of connection volunteers and test and maintenance personnel are also ready, when the computing center is officially opened, The psychic network will reappear..."

"It's a 'narrative neural network,'" Magnum immediately corrected with a serious look on his face. "Times have changed, my friend—ha, this sentence really makes me feel inexplicably, and I'm beginning to understand why Cecilians are so Love chasing these 'fashionable' words."

Yuri's eyes twitched slightly, and he decided to ignore Magnum who appeared in the hall in the form of a holographic projection instead of a psychological projection. He turned his head slightly and said to Wendy beside him, "You can inform Semler. - Let him start the next step."

...

In the upper area of ​​the computing center, in a large connection room, one by one immersion cabins are lined up neatly.

Those silver-white hatches are in the open state, and those who are immersed in the cabin are the former priests of the Eternal Sleeper - these people have changed into the white uniforms of Cecil technicians, and everyone's expressions are calm and slightly dull. .

They are currently in a shallow connection state, maintaining the operation of the mental hub in the form of pure computing power nodes. They are waiting for the next step, and the person in charge of this room is the former Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper, Semler.

This middle-aged man with a serious expression was standing beside the console in the center of the computer room.

Wendy's voice suddenly came from the mental connection, interrupting Semler's thoughts.

He raised his head, and a former bishop standing beside him immediately responded: "Are we going to start?"

"The mind hub has stabilized, and Magnum is ready inside," Semler nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Let my compatriots begin - close the hatch, connect deeply, sort out your memory and Mind, let us ... build the earth and the sky first."

The alloy hatches began to sink steadily under the action of the mechanical device. The slight squeaking sound of the hatches closing continuously entered his ears. Semler closed his eyes slightly. In his mental perception, he could "see" that there were faint "lines" extending from this room.

Lines connect to form nets, and streams converge into rivers.

And the room that spreads out the "line" is not just here.

In the entire computing center, in many rooms on the upper floor of the thinking hall, a torrent of thinking is being connected, and a personal brain floating point is being activated.

There are not only the former eternal sleepers, but also Cecil's original network technicians, as well as "volunteers" recruited to provide computing power support.

Tonight, a thousand people at the computing center will be working on this work, and they will build the prototype of the "narrator neural network" and carry out the initial "genesis" in this network.

What they created tonight will be stored in all nodes in the form of floating storage, and will be retained for a long time with the addition of more nodes and the rotation of old and new nodes, rapid evolution, and gradual improvement...

Among these technicians and volunteers, ordinary people occupy the majority-hundreds of ordinary people are forming the initial nodes of this prototype network, and the "immersion cabin" allows these people and the extraordinary to stand on the same level. A starting line.

In the cyberspace formed by the human mind, everyone's thinking will no longer be the difference between the extraordinary and the mortal.

...

In the hall of thinking, Magnum, who appeared in the hall in the form of a holographic projection, opened his eyes wide and described what he saw in the online world with a hint of joy:

"The light and the most basic earth are starting to appear - they're building an expansive virtual interface... oh! I see the sky! It's rudimentary, but beautiful!"

But Yuri no longer cared about Magnum's voice at this time.

Because the wise Cecil technicians thought of adding a volume adjustment function to the Magnum sounding device in advance - after confirming that a guy with a loud voice was not ready to follow the friendly advice of the field staff about the experimental environment After that, the magician in front of the console directly turned Magnum's volume down to the minimum.

In order to complete his work, Magnum must stay in the mental hub at the moment, and the inability to move freely in the network means that he cannot project his consciousness onto other nodes, and thus cannot form a "psychological projection" as usual. ”, he can only communicate with the outside world through the sound and light equipment in the hall like a broadcast signal-praise the magic technology, now it only takes some buttons to quiet this guy.

Yuri even felt that the whole world was a better place.

"You know, Ms. Wendy, as an Eternal Sleeper who only joined the Order during the Rosetta era, my biggest regret was not being able to witness the scene where the Order was shaping a world from scratch in the spiritual network," He turned his head and couldn't help but say what he was feeling at the moment, "Now I have no regrets - we are witnessing history with our own eyes, and something destined to change the world is being born here."

Wendy smiled slightly and said softly, "I hope the outsiders will be satisfied with our work."

"He will be satisfied," Yuri said briskly, "He will come to check all this in a few days, and hopefully by then he will tell us what the 'narrator' in this 'narrator's neural network' really stands for …”

Wendy's smile stiffened for a moment.

She touched the back of her neck subconsciously, and suddenly felt a little pain in the back of her neck...
