Chapter 750 Matrix
? Kane finally met Oliver, Moody and others, and not only them.
"Yo, it's almost there."
Here, Kane met 8 members of investigator A group, people from the operation command, and the crew, as well as explorers who had never met before, but could be confirmed from the civilized world from their attire.
There are also Myra people, that is, the gatekeepers. Their appearance is obviously different from that of humans. They are generally tall and strong. Both men and women are more than 2 meters tall. Their appearance is rough. Horrible, even without the knowledge of anthropology, you can still find that there are obvious differences between the bones of the Myra people and the bones of humans.
Another obvious difference is the skin. The skin of the Myra people has almost no hair, and it has a moist luster, but it is not smooth. On the contrary, it is covered with large and small dot microsynapses. The astringent stabbing hand is like shark skin.
Although he had seen photos of the Myra people through mission briefings when he was on the big ship, it was quite different from what he saw now, but Kane was still sure that the one in front of him was an adult Myra people.
There is no doubt that they are mixed species, which is why they can reproduce for generations in a ghost place like Shino Island.
Kane guessed that most of them are like hybrid deep divers, there will be a mutation period in adulthood, and the body will complete a major transformation from the inside to the outside. As for whether the adult is dozens or hundreds of years old, it is not easy to say, because he has not seen even a single juvenile Mylar, and the perception of the bone age, or vital characteristics of these adult Mylars, allows him to determine Everyone here is not young, and there are thousands of people.
There are more than a thousand Myra people, but there is not a single minor, which is undoubtedly abnormal.
But Kane is not interested in caring about these for the time being. He is analyzing the large-scale equipment in front of him, looking for a way to rescue Oliver and others.
In fact, what appeared in front of Kane was a giant fungus. The proportions of the cap and the main stem were the same as those of common shiitake mushrooms. The special feature is that it produces a large number of spider silk-like hyphae.
These hyphae are all over the huge mushroom-covered area, like Flammulina velutipes, with slender stems and mung bean-sized synapses, very long, white as snow, and moving like a snake.
When Kane moves towards the main stem of the mushroom and enters the coverage of the mushroom, the nearby hyphae will avoid it one after another, but they will raise the synapses of the thin stem like a group of snakes, forming a pair that will be entangled at any time. Up gesture.
Kane had no fear,
He has tried the stickman, and the result is as he speculated, the artificially cultivated strange plant in front of him, with a scientific explanation, is an AI with super-computing physical characteristics, and its main function is a world simulator (Similar to the Matrix in The Matrix).
This special plant named "Fungus World" by Kane is not a weapon of war. Of course, it probably has a series of supporting facilities, including a self-defense system.
It's just that Kane dressed himself as a "soulless person" by relying on his skills, while the stickman is a real soulless person, so the defense mechanism was not triggered along the way.
As for Oliver and the others, they were lured here like sleepwalking under the buff state of 'sorrowful', and now they are almost wrapped in cocoons by mycelium.
The earlier the hyphae come, the tighter the hyphae wrapping is, and the key point of the tightness of the hyphae wrapping is the coverage rate of those synapses on the trunk nerve nodes.
Kane noticed this small detail early on, not only the main nerve bundle at the back of the brain, but also the nerves of the body in the fungus world.
He analyzed that the higher the coverage rate, the higher the degree of control over individuals.
Here comes the new question, why?
Obtain individual memory information and weave a virtual world with higher fidelity?
maybe.
But Kane is a person who is inclined to conspiracy theorists. He thinks that this reason is not the main purpose of the existence of the fungus world, because it does not match this dangerous place. The more "tall" goal, if it is only for the completion of the virtual world, there are so many people in this world, and more than 3 million people are missing every year. It is not at all because of the extraordinary technology embodied in the fungus world, illegally getting some people to participate in the project For one thing, where is the need for such a battle?
The so-called hustle and bustle is for profit. What are the interests of the forces or individuals represented by the fungus world in this project? Kane feels that clarifying this issue will be of great help in uncovering the truth of the series of events.
Of course, the top priority right now is saving lives. The mystery can be slowly solved, so what if I don't even understand it? Now that he has a mine in his family, he doesn't need to search for mysterious clues from the outside in a short time. The Seed of Nightmare is enough for him to play.
However, it was not easy to save this person.
According to his observations, all the people connected to the fungus world are in a strange half-soul state.
Even if he is well-informed, this is the first time he has seen such a situation, and he has come to a conclusion based on experience and guesswork.
Looking at these people from the scientific point of view, they are in a cryogenic sleep-like state, and their vital signs are maintained, but they have been reduced to an extremely slow-moving state.
According to the calculation of energy consumption in this state, Kane estimated that it would not be a big problem to maintain it for several years without eating, drinking or dying. Of course, it is hard to say whether such a long period of inactivity will cause muscle atrophy or not. After all, his observation angle is life characteristics and maintenance consumption.
While these people have stable vital signs, their brain activity levels are very problematic. Judging by the technology of this world and this era, it is definitely a vegetable.
But under the confirmation of Kane's extraordinary perception, there is a big difference in details from the vegetative state. Some specific descriptions: their souls seem to have undergone a special transition. The soul is in the body, and the digital projection of the soul has been uploaded to the bacteria world, and the center of gravity of consciousness is there.
To put it more bluntly, they are dreaming, but the dream is not created by their own brains. Their own brains are only responsible for providing personal information. The bacteria world is the provider of the dream information. Their consciousness has entered that dream. If you can't return, or cut off the connection roughly, then you will be an eternal half-soul vegetative and will not wake up.
In addition, the matrix-like characteristics also exist, that is, the experience of dreams will affect reality.
Speaking of this, Kane found an interesting point.
He sensed the physical conditions of these dreamers and found that they were basically not bad. From a certain point of view, it can be said that the fungus world took great care of their bodies.
So here comes the question, is the virtual world created by the bacteria world a sanatorium-type world for people to live a happy and healthy life?
There is a certain possibility, but Kane thinks the probability is not too high. On the contrary, the possibility that the fungus world is an extremely dangerous world is very high.
The world is very dangerous, and the consciousness of the dreamer is prone to danger, and the body will respond to the danger, but the body is in good condition. what does this mean?
Kane thinks this means that the fungus world is protecting the dreamer. This kind of protection is more like the protection of the exploited from the exploited, and the purpose is to allow the exploited to create more value.
In order to verify his judgment, Kane conducted a wider range of detailed observations. It turned out that as he expected, there were not many ordinary people here.
Ordinary people here do not refer to ordinary people, but ordinary people from a professional point of view. For example, crew members and chefs are considered ordinary people, while special forces are not ordinary people.
'The fungus world seems to have collected a group of consciousnesses mainly of superhuman beings to help it carry out some kind of pioneering work. '
And once he had this conjecture, Kane naturally got in touch with the star unit Myra Digong on Sino Island.
He felt that this might be a magical version of an alternative method of unlocking the combination lock. The fungus world is like that stethoscope. Once the password is entered correctly, there will be a different sound of the lock keys snapping. Just try one by one, and the lock will eventually be opened.
This can be regarded as his guess about 'Li', and he is more concerned about the operating mechanism of the bacteria world, because according to the current situation, if he wants to save Oliver and the others, he probably has to go to the bacteria world.
All the way to the main stem, there was no danger. Kane held the bone wand, and the tip rested on the outer skin of the main stem.
This bone wand was crafted from bone materials collected after the Deep One's first night raid. Most of the elements are coincidences, because an energized bone with characteristics similar to Buddhist relics was found.
One of the main characteristics of the magic wand is the high efficiency and fidelity of energy transmission. Kane uses this medium as a buffer layer, mainly to prevent mental shocks, such as powerful information floods, which may wipe out his self-awareness in a wave. .
The bacteria world has a force field protection layer, just like an independent local area network, and Kane cannot remotely invade it. Kane's current operation is tantamount to physical intrusion, and then accessed through a terminal under the LAN.
This kind of access is more about the exploration of general information, such as what software platform is used, what algorithm, etc., rather than opening a specific file or folder.
Soon, Kane got the answer he wanted. His purpose is actually macro and simple. First, to confirm whether the bacteria world system belongs to the old rulers. Two, can he understand the operating mechanism, and how much he can understand.
The answer I got was that it was not of the Old Dominator department, and I could understand 50 to 60 percent of it.
The popular star of the iQiyi universe is naturally the old ruler, but there are also other supporting roles, such as the ancient gods, or the ancient race that created the Shoggoth.
The ancient race has been fighting with the old ruler's family for many years, and the similar war between the non-old branch and the old branch is the main theme of the iQiyi universe. The interaction between human beings and the old branch is the extent of the affairs of 18-tier stars under the Hollywood system. It's just that this 18th-line star is the narrative perspective of the current story, similar to "The Biography of Wang Qinian, a small soldier in the Anti-Japanese War", so the real magnificence has become the background instead.
Well, another mystery solved. Sure enough, Hino Island is not a brother-in-law wall under the domination of the old branch, but also a struggle with non-old branch forces.
Kane thinks this is very reasonable, and it is worthy of the pattern of a place on the edge of the world like Shino Island, where dragons and snakes are mixed, mud and sand are mixed, and anyone who thinks he is strong enough can come up and show his hands, while humans, playing the role of a cage, are probably similar The wealth of the pheasant hare and the like?
Of course, pheasants can also have their own demands here. If a cockfight wins, there are probably a few handfuls of good rice grains.
Kane thinks that the exploration is almost done, and the next step is to act as a hacker and play an invasion.
He waited for a short while, and the flame bird came back, and after landing on his arm, it turned into a ball of red light and disappeared.
After a while, he had a deeper understanding of the area.
He sent the flame bird to find the way. Since he found out that after passing through the dense forest, it turned out to be a primitive village, he sent the flame bird to find the way to see if it was possible to drive the boat.
Indeed, it is very concealed, and even needs to pass through a rock tunnel. When it was excavated, it obviously did not consider that the length and width of the boat and the car were much larger than that of ordinary vehicles.
So even if Kane could use the flames to burn the rocks until they were crispy or even melted, it still took a lot of time and effort to drive the boat over, but Kane thought it was all worth it.
This car can provide him with better physical protection, not to mention some difficult-to-handle equipment.
A low-level puppet like a stickman who can only walk like a zombie is not qualified to be a coolie, and it is also difficult for him to carry it by himself. After all, a considerable part of his current level of strength is supported by pendants. The body itself, in his opinion, is not satisfactory in terms of various indicators, and needs to be taken care of carefully, and he naturally knows what level of situation he is facing now.
It can be said that if it weren't for the bonus of yesterday's battle with the deep divers, that is, the soul power harvested by the soul hunters, and the technical foundation of this fungus world, not to mention Cthulhu, even the old one Not counting the department, he would not take the risk to rescue Oliver and the others.
He now has four major strengths, first of all, he has confidence in his willpower, his body is not good, but his soul is not bad, mainly due to his qualitative advantages. Secondly, he is confident in the technology he has mastered, especially after roughly exploring the roots of the fungus world. Thirdly, he has the newly harvested external soul power to use, and finally, the seed of nightmare can also be a kind of power.
As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. From the beginning, he never thought of single-handedly fighting against the seeds of nightmares. Even if there is no bacteria world, he will build a dream world by himself. After all, he is the master of his territory, and it is impossible to just So casually let Cthulhu take the initiative away so easily, and build a stage arbitrarily based on his memory information.
Treat the power released by the seeds of nightmares as one type, one strand, one bundle, then it can be guided, and it doesn’t matter if it can’t be guided. If the mountain does not come, I will be the mountain, and I can be replaced by a third party , such as representing the information power of the bacterial world.
For this kind of complex confrontation, the first thing is the volume of the battlefield. Kane doesn't think his brain is suitable for the battlefield. He needs to use the power of magic to open up a brain outside the brain to support the three-way battle.
Secondly, there is also a problem of confrontation mode.
To put it simply, the Germ World and the Seed of Nightmare are both team models, and he has to do the same if he wants to fight against them.
Here, the main advantage of the team lies in the framework and depth. With depth, he can perform better and will not completely lose the overall situation due to one failure. With the framework, it is convenient to add rules and guide external forces to intervene.
And to realize the team mode, the best choice is also the brain outside the brain.
Therefore, the boat car is very important.
After his modification, this boat car has its own operating table function. This is also one of the reasons why he drove a boat to rescue Oliver and the others this time. If necessary, he can perform surgery on the spot, or remove the control chip or something.
The result is now used to open up the brain outside the brain.
This wave of operations sounds mysterious, but it’s actually nothing, and it’s so cruel that it’s true.
A stickman with a relatively intact brain was used as the physical carrier of the brain outside the brain. After some bloody operations, his head was opened, a bunch of golden needles were inserted, and a peripheral force field was created. Lightning flashed between the exposed part of the golden needle and the reflective plate around the force field.
This is the external feature of the brain outside the brain created by Kane. It is more advantageous for him to choose this place as the battlefield.
After that, it is a bridge to the fungus world. This operation is not too difficult, at least on the surface, it is nothing more than capturing a certain number of idle hyphae and restraining them to a certain extent, while the front end is exposed to the stickman who has been transformed into a brain outside the brain, and then ignore it up.
According to Kane's speculation, there is a program-like system in the fungus world. As long as the conditions are met, he will connect to the target himself. Later facts have proved that this is true. The mycelium directly wraps around the body of the brain outside the brain, and takes the lead in attacking the simulated brain shell. 1. The inner layer is a magic instrument that strengthens the brain wave reflection plate. Mycelium obviously has no visual organs. Its only way of exploration is spiritual power. When a standard target appears, it will entangle it. There is no such thing as daring or not. concept.
In this way, Kane entered the world of bacteria with the help of the "meat machine" outside the brain. After taking precautions, he lay in the boat, out of the wind and rain, and there were 10 people outside the boat. A stickman is ready to burn himself at any time, and die together with the intruders who dare to offend. Compared with Oliver and the others, this situation is obviously not the slightest bit better.
The better ones are still in the spiritual world. As soon as Kane entered the brain outside the brain, he created a small world, which he called the root of the world tree, and then succeeded without any suspense. This is the benefit of the team model. As for whether it will be broken and reduced to an individual that is divided and wiped out, it will only be known after the battle.
Soon after, the torrent of information representing the fungus world impacted, and the specific manifestation was to create a virtual world, just like a scene in a dream.
Kane let it devour him without fear.
Completing the phagocytosis also means that the fungus world is open to him, and he has the opportunity to find the consciousness of Oliver and others in it.
Kane himself is now in a state of multi-tasking, one part of his consciousness enters the bacteria world to start adventures, and the other part is in control as a chess player.
For example, controlling the flow of mental power input from the body to the brain outside the brain, and the external soul power available to him is also within the control range. As long as the release amount is increased, the bacteria world can be 'choked', and he can even Control the time flow rate of the mental power unit of the bacteria world entering the brain outside the brain, but this is a trump card. If it is used too early, the bacteria world may give up the game and not play with him.
Nightmare Seed is also in alternate status.
The seeds of nightmares left by Cthulhu are trigger-activated. As long as you sleep, you will create dreams, and as long as you create dreams, you will have nightmares. The more tired and sleepy, the higher the dominance of the nightmare, so the subject can not sleep to procrastinate, but the final winner will still be Cthulhu, and the interest will be high if the procrastination is long.
But now, as long as Kane turns on the 'sleep' state, the nightmare will begin. At that time, he will transfer all the information into the brain outside the brain through consciousness transfer, and let the nightmare meet the bacteria dream there to see who is better.
He reckoned that the nightmare would be sharper, and that an 'inner world' state might be born, stimulating or hurting all targets, including him.
He himself doesn't care, since the seeds of the nightmare have already been planted anyway, there is no need to worry too much about whose fault it was that led to such a result, what he needs to care about is completing every battle as best as possible.
The other people who were drawn into this contest were all martyrs. Facing the ravages of the nightmare, if they wanted to maintain their own existence, they had to fight, and then his basic goal was achieved.
The dream world created by the bacteria world is enough to affect the real world. The scale is larger than Kane expected, and the degree of fidelity is higher than expected. If it is not for his special state, it may be difficult to compare it with reality. differentiate.
What appeared in front of him was a secondary forest, and a muddy road stretched in front of him.
It was almost evening, the sky was dim, and some buildings could barely be seen at the end of the field of vision.
Kane snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame lit up between his fingers. Although it was only as big as a lighter flame, the light distorted the surrounding space.
He nodded in satisfaction, the hard work outside his brain was not in vain, he is indeed in team mode now. To put it in a more understandable way, he takes the seed of the world with him, and he can sow and grow as long as he wants. Of course, that also means starting a team battle with the fungus world.
The soul state does not have the bonus of items such as magic pendants, but from a certain point of view, the current Kane is actually stronger. Because Kevin's body is no longer bound and dragged.
He is a relatively pure spellcaster now, and when he thinks, he will levitate up and float along the road to the distant building location.
After walking for a while, I found that the surface had changed to a certain extent. The original dirt road was replaced by a stone flake road. Large and small stone flakes are organically combined with the soil. It is not very smooth, but it is much easier to walk.
Sections of roadside wooden fences can be seen from time to time. The structure is very simple, but Kane can still find some information from the details. For example, the civilization simulated by the fungus world has at least equipment such as a sawing machine, otherwise it would be impossible to use regular-shaped strips and posts for a road protection fence.
In addition to the fence, there are also street lamps, the poles are made of wood, and the lamps are oil lamps with metal frames and glass surfaces. The workmanship is very rough, and the glass is not clear enough, not only has a yellow-green color, but also has bubbles.
These details also reflect the technological level of the virtual civilization in the infected world, which is about the level of the original world in the early 19th century. The old and the new alternate, the first industrial revolution is in the ascendant, people attribute many unexplainable phenomena, including some scientific and technological achievements, to the embodiment of occultism, which can be said to be one of the classic background environments of Rockwell Horror.
Kane had some small expectations because of this. He wanted to know what kind of scene the fungus world planned to use to "entertain" //./11_11766/
