Chapter 855： Prototype

Compared with Cecil's existing network technicians, the biggest advantage of the insomniacs is that they are very familiar with the process of thinking networking and responding to various unexpected situations-in the past many years, they have been using the most dangerous methods Let your brain be directly exposed to a large-scale computing network. The lack of security mechanisms and the inherent defect of "human flesh online" make the sleepers often face some dangerous situations, including but not limited to brain nerve overload, mental suffering Damage, memory streaming, and soul problems.

To them, all this is commonplace.

It is for this reason that the "immersion tank" manufactured by the Cecilians, with a pile of safety devices and a physical layer of insurance, appears to these sleepers to be like a fortress made of steel, which can simultaneously protect the body and For the kind of mind, there is a sense of physical and mental relaxation when lying in-you don't have to spend energy to maintain the Internet 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 levels of the immersion capsules at first, and he could see how much R & D costs the Cecils spent on these safety measures, but soon he wanted to understand the key point-the sleeper was the original The spiritual network is for extraordinary people. With a few exceptions, everyone who is connected to the Internet has a strong spiritual power. In the event of a problem, you can pass it by yourself, and you ca n’t resist it. It ’s a dark sect. Occasionally hanging one or two can be considered a part of traditional customs.

But Cecil is not the same. Their networks are for ordinary people, and ordinary people's fragile minds and bodies need more protection. As a responsible empire, they have a greater obligation to protect citizens. As a result, the immersion tanks they created all took safety as the highest requirement, and even sacrificed part of the connection performance for this ...

The two technical ideas are right or wrong. Archbishops, including Yuri and Magnum, think there is no doubt about this. Emperor Cecil is an extraterrestrial wanderer. The priest in this place has more warhammers than human heads. Large, locals are enthusiastic about mining by blasting and earthquakes.

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

The Empire Computing Center, the Hall of Thinking, and the Mind Hub.

The radiance of the maggot floated on the surface of the silver-white alloy pillar, and the veins formed by arcane energy fluctuated like breaths between the gaps of the metal modules. The tall pillars connected the floor and the dome of the hall, and from time to time there were complicated runes and geometries. The figure emerged from the surface of the pillar and rose rapidly along its alloy shell. A pleasant, low-pitched buzz resounded softly in this bright hall, as if it contained the vitality of constant awakening.

"The third trial was started, and the basal magic net has been stably supplied with energy," a technician from the Institute of Magical Guidance Technology stood in front of the nearby console, and said aloud while watching the many runes on it. "The mental hub begins to output sequential signals-all signals have been confirmed!"

Yuri and Wendy were standing in front of the silver-white alloy column, listening to the wizard technician to report the progress, the former nodded slightly: "It seems to start smoothly."

"It's finally possible ..." Wendy seemed to be answering Yuri, and said softly to herself, and then she took a step forward, put her hand gently on the alloy shell of the large pillar, and started Unleash your spiritual power.

In this era, in the field of research, "the extraordinary can manipulate magic without the help of additional tools when debugging certain devices" has probably become their only advantage when facing ordinary researchers.

For a moment, the sight in the hall focused on Wendy.

Cecil's native technicians are watching her, and even 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 the Internet will understand this thing What it means, they are watching this scene, as if watching the future of technology.

Several compatriots at the scene are also watching her, but they are watching the past of the Hibernate Order: an old era is over, and new magic technology will be used to take over everything they once created, that The icy equipment is overlooking here, and within it, the 700-year accumulation of technology is waking up in an unprecedented way.

Some people look forward to it, some people say it.

With ripples of magic in the mental hub, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Hello, future."

Almost at the same time, a clear holographic projection emerged from the side of the console of the mental hub. Magnum's figure appeared in the holographic projection. He stared, his voice was as loud as ever: "Woo oh-scare Laozi Jump! Have I entered the mental hub? "

The magic technician in front of the console seems to have not seen the sudden emergence of Magnum, and still reports the situation scrupulously: "The mental hub starts to output responses ... the whole channel is unblocked, we can 'see' the test group The signal is coming. "

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

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

Magnan, who has been transferred to the mental hub, spreads his words: "Ms. Selena is monitoring the upload, Her Excellency Megur is under Her Majesty, and the only mind in the network is me-do you want to upload yourself? Come in with me? "

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

"... in terms of general perception, it is no different from our own spiritual space," Magnum finally took seriously and began to answer Yuri's question, "but it is still very ... 'barren', and I was thrown into a void. There are only some basic 'frames' and 'platforms' here, which should be the original space built in the mental hub. But I can feel others-those fellows who are using the immersion capsule, I can feel their mind is in Around me, I just can't see ... "

Wendy nodded slightly: "Several test groups are still waiting for the next instructions. You can't see that they are normal until all channels are open."

"Well, I think so," Magnan said casually. "In addition, I can feel that this place is ... narrow. But I think this should be caused by the limited number of nodes."

Yuri nodded: "Currently counting ordinary testers on shifts, we can only guarantee a thousand nodes to maintain a floating connection, and some of them will also be used for some additional test items. Of course, the remaining nodes are not It may maintain the scale of the previous Mind Network. But everything will be fine soon-all immersion capsules have passed the test, and the second batch of connection volunteers and test and maintenance personnel are also ready until the computing center is officially opened. The mind network will reappear ... "

"It's the" narrator's neural network "," Magnum immediately corrected with a serious look. "The times have changed, my friend—ha, this sentence really feels inexplicable, and I begin to understand why the Cecil people Love chasing these 'fashionable' words. "

Yuri's eye twitched slightly, and he decisively ignored Magnum, who appeared in the hall in the form of a holographic projection instead of a psychological projection. He tilted his head slightly and said to Wendy next to him, "It's time to notify Samler. -Let him start the next step. "

...

In the upper area of ​​the computing center, one of the immersion cabins is neatly arranged in a large connecting machine room.

Those silver-white hatches were open, and immersed in the cabin were former sleepless priests-these people changed into the white uniforms of Cecil's technicians, and everyone's expression was 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 nodes. They are waiting for the next instructions, and the person in charge of this room is the former Archbishop of the Sleeper-Semler.

This expression is always a little serious middle-aged man standing next to the console in the center of the computer room, while looking at the pillar in the center of the room that connects the mental hub, as if thinking something.

Wendy's voice suddenly came from the spiritual connection, interrupting Semmler's thoughts.

He looked up, and a former bishop standing nearby immediately responded: "Are you going to start?"

"The mental hub is stable, and Magnum is ready in it," Semler slowly nodded, and Shen said, "Let the people start-close the hatch, connect deeply, and sort out your memories and Mind, let's ... build the earth and the sky first. "

One by one, the alloy hatches began to sink smoothly under the action of the mechanical device. The slight snoring sound of the hatch closure continued to be introduced into the ear. Semler closed his eyes slightly, and in his power as a high-level superhuman, In his mental perception, he was able to "see" that a faint "line" was extending from this room.

The lines connect into a network, and the streams converge into rivers.

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

Throughout the computing center, in many rooms on the upper level of the thinking hall, a flood of thinking is being connected, and a personal brain floating point is being activated.

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

Tonight, a thousand people are participating in this work at the Computing Center. They will build the prototype of the "narrator neural network" and carry out the original "Genesis" in this network.

What they created tonight will be stored in all nodes in the form of floating storage, and with the addition of more nodes and the rotation of new and old nodes will be retained for a long time, evolve rapidly, and gradually improve ...

And among these technicians and volunteers, ordinary people occupy the majority-hundreds of ordinary people form the initial node of this prototype network, and the "immersion capsule" allows these people and the extraordinary to stand on the same foot. A starting line.

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

...

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

"The light and the most basic ground have begun to appear-they are building an open virtual interface ... oh! I see the sky! It's rude but beautiful!"

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

Because the intelligent Cecil technicians thought of adding a volume adjustment function to Magnum's sound device in advance-after confirming that a strangely loud guy was not prepared to follow the friendly suggestions of the field staff about the experimental environment After that, the magic technician in front of the console directly turned Magnum's volume to the minimum.

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

Yuri even felt the world was better.

"Do you know, Ms. Wendy, as a dormant who only joined the Order during the Rosetta era, my biggest regret was that I failed to witness first-hand how the Order formed a world in the spiritual network," He tilted his head and couldn't help but say the emotion in his heart at the moment, "I have no regrets now-we are witnessing history with our own eyes, a thing destined to change the world, it is being born here."

Wendy smiled slightly and said softly, "Hope the wanderers outside the region will be satisfied with our work."

"He will be satisfied," Yuri said briskly. "In a few days he will come to accept all of this. Hopefully by then he will tell us what the" narrator "in this" narrator neural network "stands for. ... "

Wendy's smile stiffened for a moment.

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