Volume 2 The Visitors to the Spirit Lake Don't Know Their Intentions, the Pure Iron and the Black Face Are Mysterious Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Daily Life of the Traveler III
"Psychic projection?" "This thing sounds so tall, and I look at the gleaming helmet. Seeing that I was so interested, my cheap father was also interested in explaining it to me.
"This installation is a project that my father has been working on for several years, and it can connect the human spirit with a specific puppet. You can then control the puppet's movements, just like the legendary out-of-body avatar. ”
"So amazing?" I was a little dumbfounded, this is too advanced, isn't it? Isn't it the wizarding world?
Seeing my reaction, my father smiled and said, "How is it?"
I nodded, still in a daze, and said, "yes, I'm so surprised." The world's technological level is too advanced, right?"
"Hahahaha, it's not that the world's science and technology are developed, but that our family has advanced technology!" said the cheap father proudly.
"Our family?"
"Yes, our Vincent family is the family responsible for the research and development of magical technology in the Empire. Although our family does not have a strong force and does not have a kingdom of its own, no one in the entire empire dares to disrespect our family. That's because we hold the future of magic technology in our hands, and we are one of the core forces of the empire. Vincent Sr., the father of the cheap, said.
"So my reincarnated family is so good?" I muttered.
"Well, it seems that you can't even remember the glory of our family. But that's okay, it's okay to start getting you to know each other again. Old Vincent beckoned to the researcher in the room and said, "Here, show me Alex." ”
Several researchers nodded their heads, and then one of them walked over with a human-sized doll. The doll was made of some kind of metal, and its joints were connected by something resembling tendons. After everyone adjusted it, the tester wearing the helmet nodded, and then the puppet's eyes began to glow as the helmet flickered regularly.
"The link is complete, everything is fine. ”
Old Vincent nodded and said, "Okay, let's start the activity test." ”
Then, to my astonishment, the doll began to move slowly, first with both hands and then with feet, and finally walked down and made movements like a human. And at his mouth, a voice that was no different from an ordinary person came out, "Lord Duke, everything is normal." ”
Old Vincent nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that our technology is fully mature now, and hundreds of link and activity tests have been carried out, and nothing abnormal has appeared. ”
I walked up to the puppet with a look of obsession, still a little incredulous. Of course, I can't believe that this kind of plot that will only appear in future science fiction films is now alive in front of my eyes. And this is a world of magic, isn't it a world of swords and magic in the style of the Middle Ages?
"If you're interested, you can give it a try later. Old Vincent said with a loving face.
"Well, it's good. Can I touch this?" I said, pointing to the doll.
"Of course. ”
When I got closer, I realized that the doll was very finely made, almost imitating a human structure. The joints and tendons connected to them are made in imitation of humans, and you can feel the warmth coming from them when you touch them.
"The doll is also a remarkable invention and a vital part of the device. Give it a try, and you'll feel the wonder of it. ”
I nodded, took the helmet that the tester had given me, and sat there a little nervously ready to put it on. After all, the instinctive human reaction to such an unknown thing is to be afraid. But in the same way, there will be irrepressible curiosity, otherwise human beings would not have been able to evolve to such a height.
The moment I put on the helmet, I felt my eyes gradually darken, and then a wonderful feeling came through my mind, as if it was an out-of-body feeling?
Soon the image appeared in front of me again, and the man with the helmet sitting not far away was not me? I tried to move my arms, and what appeared in front of me was a pair of arms made of metal.
"How's it going?" asked the old Duke Vincent, with concern.
"Well, it feels amazing. "I can hear the voice of the puppet, it's a little distorted, but it's still very similar to my own voice.
Old Vincent walked over, patted me on the shoulder and said, "How are you feeling now?"
"That's good. ..... Wait, I feel it?" I said in amazement, and I could feel the touch on my shoulder when he patted me just now. This is a bit beyond my imagination, originally I thought this was the kind of technology that can control robots remotely in science fiction movies, but this is a bit exaggerated to be able to convey even the feeling, right?
"Hehehehehe, it looks like you've found out. The reason why this puppet can establish a connection with the human spirit is not so simple, the internal and external structure of this puppet is similar to the human body, and there will even be a flow of bodily fluids to achieve the transmission of energy, and it also has sensory nerves, but it is simulated by some magical means. If you don't feel it, then it will definitely be troublesome to control, and it is not clear to the controller where it is broken. ”
I listened to this, and I felt it carefully, and sure enough, as he said, this family of puppets is really like a human body, and I couldn't help but sigh at the moment: "This is all... Did we invent it?"
Vincent shook his head and said, "No, not exactly. We've just mastered the device that can project spirits. But he has not been able to break through the threshold of manipulating foreign objects with spirits, and it is this master of mechanics from Donghan who has broken through this level of difficulty. ”
At this time, Vincent brought a middle-aged man with bald hair over and said, "It is the mechanism technology brought by Mr. Lin that creates this kind of mechanism puppet, and we have found the carrier of spiritual projection. ”
Speaking of this, I saw that old Vincent showed a look of distress, as if there was some problem in his heart. I'm too familiar with this look, and I used to be at school when I couldn't do it at the same table.
"That.... Dad ....., "Although Dad's name is twisted, I can't call him Vincent or anything, right? After all, this guy is my father with my current body." "Shouldn't you be happy that such a great project has been developed? ”
Old Vincent sighed and said, "Hey, my Alex, in the past few years that you have been in a coma, the empire has arranged a scientific research project for me to develop a technology that can solve the internal resource allocation of various kingdoms. But after so many years, I see that the empire is getting tighter and tighter, but I don't have a clue where to go. This kind of thing should have been considered by those civil ministers, and I don't know how to think about it. ”
"Resource allocation?"
"Yes, the Salant Empire is now unprecedentedly powerful, but when the tree grows, it is inevitable that there will be leaves that grow well and leaves that are about to rot. Except for some ordinary resources, which are controlled by various kingdoms, some rare resources are distributed by the imperial council composed of the two kings of winter and summer and the king of the four directions with the empire as the core. It is always unclear who is more and who is less, and cities within the kingdoms face similar problems. That's why the council wants to come up with a rule that can be enforced, so that everyone can abide by the principle of fairness. ”
"Well...," I suddenly thought of a bad taste, although I thought that this idea was too childish for such a national event, but it was ..... Anyway, I'm not from this world, so what's the matter with me?
"I have an idea. ”
"What do you think? I knew that Alex was a new generation of my Vincent family, and would definitely inherit the brilliant brains of our family!" said Vincent Sr.
"Hmm..... This idea is also given to the newly developed set of spirit projection devices. Based on this, a set of competition rules is designed, so that everyone competes through the same fair rules under the condition of equal ability, and divides resources according to performance. At that time, each session will use the policy of encouraging the weak, so that the last few members of the previous session will be protected in the first round when they are scheduled to fight, so ....."
Old Vincent's eyes brightened the more he listened, and finally he couldn't help asking, "Then what is this rule called...."
"Well, I call it masturbation..... Well, forget it, this competition is called City Championship within the kingdom, and the kingdom between kingdoms is called Kingdom Battle. ”
