Chapter 540： Technology forward

In the mind connection technology laboratory, the old Druid Pitman still lies quietly in the silver-white seat.

The runes at the bottom of the seat are regularly flashing, and a faint light blue shimmer is floating on the artificial nerve cord connected to the base and the array of nerve contacts. A low hum is coming from inside the device. That is the sound of the resonance tremor between the rune substrates, while the old druid sitting in the device closes his eyes and looks as if he has fallen into the deepest dream.

"He has access to the network," Gao Wen said. "Now it is communicating with the people in the network."

“The connection is stable and the frequency orientation is normal,” Carmel floated beside a console not far from the cockpit, while watching the flashing inscriptions on the console, “there is no indication of exposure.”

“The vital signs are stable, the nerve pressure is normal. The emergency fuse is normal. The brain activity is continuously monitored.”

A series of reports came from all over the lab, and in these reports, everyone around the connection was relieved.

Amber couldn't help but pick it up: "Call me to think that this old man will die on it."

Even if this guy has no respect for Pittman on weekdays, but Gao Wen can see that, for a half-father, Pittman, Amber is still quite concerned.

Gao Wen looks at Jenny who is quietly standing still: "The system of the Rune's rune can also be optimized and reorganized by Rune Logic, is it?"

"Yes...Yes," Jenny replied quickly. "Although we encountered some difficulties in re-determining the interference value at first, we finally found that the perpetualist's rune system still follows the law of rune logic. And the inverter array technology can also be used on this connection device..."

"The eternal sleepers... Their dark magic is similar to the druid's spells, and they are also transformed from the magic." Gao Wen thoughtfully sighed, "God... your veil is getting thinner and thinner." Up..."

"The test time is over, ready to transmit the prompt message... The prompt message has been sent, and the brain wave feedback from the experimental object is received... Disconnect the neural cable."

The technician responsible for controlling the connection suddenly made a sound, interrupting Gao Wen’s self-talk, and then, with a gradual low-pitched resonance, the rune brilliance at the bottom of the silver-white seat gradually dimmed.

Pittman in the seat lay quietly for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, and then it suddenly seemed to remember how to breathe and sighed in a big mouth, the old body sounded like a broken bellows. After a dozen seconds, he stabilized and sighed with a long breath: "Call... It feels so good to return to the body..."

"The first time I got out of the mind network, there will be more serious dizziness and weightlessness." Looking at the assistant who came forward, the old druid was lifted out of the seat. Gao Wen nodded and then showed seriousness. Look, "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 side of the connection.

Gao Wen looked at the old druid's eyes: "Prove that you are still Pitman, not a permanent sleeper who has penetrated the network."

"Good luck ointment two silver coins a bottle, out of print amulet buy two get one free, three times the price before divination, free to help name!"

Half of the people on the scene turned their heads and turned, and the brightness of Carmel was suddenly reduced by 30%. Only Gao Wen smiled and took Pittman’s hand forward: “Welcome back to Cecil. Except for dizziness Is there any other discomfort outside?"

Pittman was a superb after all. He stood for a while beside the cockpit, and he recovered after a few breaths. Then he frowned and thought a little: "There is no sequelae in general, but... can you change the connector number later? The secret number is still too embarrassing for me as an old man..."

"A 737-year-old old man designed the connector code for you. You are a little more than 87 years old," he said. In a word, the two elderly people can't speak, "And you also have the concept of '尴尬'?"

Pitman: "..."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Talk about the situation after the connection," Gao Wen felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird. He quickly coughed and slammed the subject back to the right track. "You sneaked into the first few layers? What did you see during the connection? Are there any? Intercepted or scanned by the security system?"

The technical personnel present at the scene immediately gathered together. Everyone looked at Pittman standing in the middle with curiosity and inquiring. Pittman spoke up a little after he sorted out his thoughts: "I sneaked in It should be called the level of 'consciousness leveling', where the city of dreams is located, the area where all surface ideologies meet. Most of the stages of the connection process are not visual, and can only produce intermittent illusions... I should be completely bypassing the security mechanism, or the security mechanism completely ignores my connection..."

Pittman quietly said what he saw and heard throughout the connection process. Everyone around him listened seriously, even the most amber that was not free, and this time he was also curious eyes. I didn’t land and heard the last.

"...In summary, I think that the first phase of the real machine test was completely successful, the connection device is stable and reliable, and the 'safe channel' is equally reliable," Pittman concluded. "Next, we should consider making multiple connections." It is."

Gao Wen nodded slightly and looked at Rebecca: "Is this connection device currently available for mass production?"

“For the time being,” Rebecca thought about it, showing the embarrassing appearance. “Some key components can only be processed in the laboratory. For example, the organic media ring of artificial neural cable is mainly because the processing process is too complicated. To use the magic device frequently for adjustment, and to have certain knowledge of Druid, the level of workers in the factory may not be enough. It takes a short time to train workers with sufficient skill levels."

In most cases, the main factor that constrains Cecil's new mass production process is not machine precision. Because of the foundational role of Nicholas eggs in the initial stage, Cecil's industrial machine solved most of the accuracy problems from the beginning. Worker skills are a long-term bottleneck.

After all, human beings are not machines, and large-scale, systematic technical workers need time to cultivate and accumulate.

"Come on slowly, it is not realistic to promote this device directly to the whole people..." Gao Wen sighed and accepted the reality. "At this stage, the laboratory is first manufactured, and the device that can be used by a project team is assembled. The specific number of you According to the actual situation."

"For a project team to use..." Carmel heard something from Gao Wen's words. "Are you planning to experiment in the mind network of the sleeper?"

“Don't you feel good?” Gao Wenmei asked. “So good technology is of course used in research. Is it a waste of daydreaming?”

Kamal gave a slight glimpse, then bent down, with a smile in his tone: "...I agree."

"So, we should give this connection a name," Gao Wen nodded, pointing to the silver-white seat on the platform or the cockpit. "Do you have any opinions?"

Pittman and Jenny exchanged a look at each other except for Carmel. His eyes were not so good to understand and then looked at Gao Wen.

“We think it’s up to you to name it,” Jenny smiled and said with respect and respect. “Although it’s the result of our creation, all the relevant technologies are collected by various means, the vast majority of the project. The inspiration comes from you, and it’s a good idea to name it."

Although Gao Wen would like to say that the glory of technology should be attributed to the inventor of technology, but think carefully, it seems that most of the technology in this connection device is the product of the hunter of the eternal sleeper, and he did not derogate too much. Instead, I looked at the silver-white seat and fell into a brief thought.

A little bit of bad taste unconsciously floated into my heart.

Anyway, the style of this thing is not normal.

"Immersed nerve cockpit," Gao Wen said, a name that he believes best fits the style of the painting. "It's called immersed nerve cockpit, immersed in the cabin, how about?"

"Immersed nerve cockpit..." Carmel repeated the phrase that was temporarily combined, although it sounds weird to read, but the short words just describe all the features of the connected device. Can't help but start, "is a good name."

Gao Wen and Amber left the Institute of Magic Technology, left with them, and Pittman, who was ready to go back to rest.

The streets of Cecil City are still lively and vibrant.

"That is a beautiful city," Walking on the street, Pitman suddenly sighed without a reason. "Really, it's beautiful."

“City of Dreams?” Gao Wen stopped and looked at the little old man. “Be careful, the first contact is easy to immerse.”

"I won't," Pittman blinked and smiled. "The city is really beautiful, even perfect, but because it is so perfect, I won't be attracted to it. It makes me perfect. There are some fears."

Gao Wen shook his head and stepped forward. "The world is too perfect. People can't help but think of the legendary people who will arrive in the world after they die. It is really addictive."

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

"...I am just making an analogy."

They passed by the “Amethyst Street” on the edge of the Mage area, where a crowd of newly opened shops is gathering.

Gao Wen looked up and saw the logo of the “Government Office Supervision Project” hanging from the door of the store. In the window next to it, there were large arms that were neatly reflected, reflecting the sunlight and emitting metal. Ring or hand-like device.

Gao Wen whispered softly: "The first magical terminal retail store opened to civilians has already started trial operation..."

As one of Cecil's earliest products of magic technology, the magic terminal is not a high-tech thing, and as a compatible platform that can replace the core module, this device has a high civilian use from the beginning. Potential It can be equipped with anti-personal spells to act as a weapon, or it can be installed with an auxiliary rune board to become a convenient tool. For Gao Wen, who always wants to push extraordinary power to the whole people, the civilization of this thing. It is inevitable.

As early as last year, Rebecca and others succeeded in manufacturing engineering terminals with welding, cutting and traction functions based on the soldiers' magical terminals, and distributed them to the magical technicians and engineers. After a period of collecting data and improvements, the more usable, safer and cheaper civilian version of the magic guide terminal finally appeared in front of ordinary people.

These magic terminals have lower power, but they can still be used to release the most basic tricks and several powerful limbs. The average person can use it as a tool and use it in the wild. Defending yourself is really a very convenient thing.

However, Gao Wen observed it for a while in front of the store, but found that although there were quite a lot of people gathered together, there were very few people who really spent money to buy the magic terminal.

"It's normal, magic is still a 'transcendent' thing for most people, even if they are everywhere around the magic power, most people may not think that they will personally 'cast'," Pitman On the sidelines, "And to be honest, dozens of silver coins are not many, but for many people, it is also a big sum of money. The ordinary people who are used to diligence will not spend so much money just because of novelty and fun." Buying something as strange as it is."

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

Gao Wen looked at the store where the crowd gathered in the distance. After thinking about it, he turned to Amber and said, "Let your cadres guide you a little."

Amber should be taken over: "OK."

When I heard that Amber promised so much, Gao Wen was surprised: "How did you promise this time?"

"To be a person is the old line of the many people in the mixed ball," Amber waved his hand. "What do you want to guide, isn't it?"

Gao Wen: "...you understand it so well."

The trio finally glanced at the store that sold the civilian magic guide terminal. Before turning around, Pittman suddenly said: "In fact, the neural cable technology can not only be used to establish brain-computer connections, people enter the mind network, it There is also a possible application direction."

Gao Wenyu is up: "Oh?"

"You are committed to let ordinary people also master the magic of the power of the magic terminal can solve half of the problem, and the nerve cable ... may solve the other half of the problem for you."
