As the technicians began to do one last check and debugging of the immersion chamber, Hetillo stood a little nervously next to the cockpit assigned to him, and whispered, "I really didn't expect it...... One day, I will enter the world created by the Eternal Sleeper......"

"It's a virtual world," Gawain said beside him, and he could see the nervousness of his eldest granddaughter, "What?" Feeling uneasy? ”

"Sort of, but more ...... Tangled," Hetty said calmly in front of his ancestors, "Although I know that technology is good or bad, the psychic network of the Eternal Sleeper is not just as simple as 'technology', you said that it is the projection and aggregation of the mental world of countless Eternal Sleepers, and now you want to go to that place...... It always feels weird. ”

Gawain smiled and nodded slightly: "I understand your feelings, but don't worry, this is only temporary - now our neural link technology has just started, and we don't have the ability to build our own psychic network, so we can only temporarily 'borrow' the ready-made network of the Eternal Sleeper, but when the technology matures, we will naturally create our own virtual environment - such an important technology, we must not be able to count on others forever." ”

Herty gave a slightly relieved look, and Gawain turned his head to look at Kamel, who was floating next to another immersion pod: "How's it going?" Can I connect? ”

The brilliance of arcane energy surged around Kamel, and under his precise control, leaping energy lightning continued to sweep through the nerve connection points in the immersion module, and a steady humming sound came from the base of the immersion module, and Kamel said with a little joy, "It should be fine...... Although I have no nervous system, I have a magical body, and by directly reading and writing the magic fluctuations in the neural connections, I can enter the network just like you. ”

"It's incredible...... Gawain looked Carmel's inhuman body up and down, "magic...... Its mysteries are getting more and more interesting. ”

Kamel bent slightly: "Someday, we will reveal its secrets." ”

The technician's report came from not far away: "Network frequency calibration complete!" "Nerve cord calibration complete" "All immersion pods are ready to use, my lord." ”

Pitman took a deep breath and walked to his cockpit, "Let's get started. ”

The people who were about to connect to the network each came to their assigned cockpit, and lay down one by one, while Kamel floated next to the device, connecting the contacts of the cockpit directly with an arcane arc. As the only person on the scene who can connect to the psychic network without an external device, Gawain did not prepare a cockpit for himself - mainly because he was a little psychologically shadowed by the kind of long, human-friendly container that people can lie in and has a lid on top - he sat directly on an ordinary seat next to the connection platform, and said to the people who were ready to connect: "I will enter the network first, you will connect in a minute, we will cross the consciousness level this time, and directly enter the virtual space - if you find that you have landed in the wrong place, Or see a fragmented image, don't hesitate to disconnect immediately, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Okay," Gawain nodded, then said to the air beside him, "Do a good job of guarding, there is something to wake me up." ”

Amber's voice came through the air: "Okay, good—but okay, you're going to take me to that psychic network next time!" ”

As we all know, if the air around Gawain is left for a long time, amber will grow.

Gawain's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a slight dizziness that was so familiar that he had completely adapted to it, the light and shadow in front of him quickly shifted, changed, and reassembled.

After a brief moment, he arrived in the virtual space he had "stolen" from the Eternal Sleeper's psychic network.

The endless calm water extends out in the field of vision, countless neatly arranged huge alloy platforms float on the water, and in the incomparably wide blue sky, complex and changing symbols, formulas, runes, mechanical structures and blueprints float and refresh as always, and in the center of this entire vast space is the "reference point" set by Gawain for this experimental space.

On a small platform, the round table, chairs, and refreshments were all ready, and the old mage Daniel was standing respectfully at the round table, and when Gawain appeared, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Respectfully to you, my lord." ”

Gawain waved his hand and asked Daniel to get up: "Is the environment stable over there?" ”

"I've specially scheduled a break, and no one will disturb me for the next half day."

"Good, they'll be there soon."

After a moment of waiting, Gawain sensed several connection signals pointing to this virtual space—

This space was opened up by him at the bottom of the psychic network of the Sleeper, in order to ensure security and concealment, the entire space has a large amount of data camouflage and layers of encryption, only by mastering the specific psychic network frequency can you find the correct address of this space, and if you want to access this address, you also need to get the permission of the high-level literati.

After confirming the identity of each signal, Gawain turned on the connection permission, and in the next moment, with pillars of light falling from the sky and a large number of refreshed runes, figures appeared on this small platform.

Hetty and the others shook their bodies a few times in dizziness and weightlessness, and then saw everything in front of them clearly.

Almost everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and Rebecca let out an uncontrollable exclamation, "Wow!! ”

"That's really...... Incredible......" Hetty looked in amazement at the scene in front of him, this vast world of water and sky, those neatly arranged alloy platforms, the formulas and blueprints in the sky...... These scenes that could not be seen in reality were so real in front of her eyes at this moment, everything was so clear, so clear that even if she knew in advance that everything here was virtual, she couldn't help but wonder if she had really traveled through time and space and entered a new world parallel to the real world.

At this moment, she finally understood what her ancestors meant by the word "virtual reality" before.

Perhaps the most calm person on the scene is Pittman, because in the last test, he has been to the "consciousness level" of the eternal sleeper, and also saw part of the dream city, so he has long been mentally prepared for how spectacular the scene in the virtual world can be, and he looked at the scene here only slightly sighed: "I really didn't expect that you have built such a vast space." ”

A middle-aged man who looked ordinary, with an ordinary figure, ordinary clothes, and even an ordinary hairstyle and voice, nodded slightly and commented, "It looks empty." ”

Gawain laughed: "After all, it's a place for experiments, not for living people...... Wait, who are you? ”

Hertie and the others looked at the stranger standing between them in astonishment, and Jenny was the first to react: "Are you...... Kamel? ”

"It's me," Kamel looked down at his body, raised his head and spread his hands, "Actually, I wanted to restore my original appearance, but...... I forgot what I looked like. ”

Then he shook his head, as if he wanted to show a self-deprecating smile, but he also forgot how to make an expression, so he simply waved his hand, and the appearance of the middle-aged man dissipated, and in a flash of energy sparks, the arcane body bound by rune armor pieces reappeared in front of everyone: "Let's use this body, get used to it a little." ”

"It's going to be fine," Gawain looked at the two arcane lights on Kamel's skull, "You can get used to it, you can remember it slowly, and if used properly, the psychic network is good for both memory and mental power, and maybe it will work for you as well." ”

"I hope so," Kamal said in a humming voice, then turned to Daniel, who was still standing, and nodded slightly, "then, this is your other subordinate, Daniel." ”

"Yes, Daniel, he's located in Typhon, and the non-implantable neural cord is his work," Gawain nodded, then raised his hand and began to introduce everyone on the scene in turn, "This is Carmel, the legendary magister of the ancient Gondor Empire, an expert in classical spells and modern magic techniques; Hetty, a descendant of my blood, the interior administrator of Cecil; Rebecca ......"

Gawain introduced them one by one, and Hetty and Daniel greeted each other with a sense of rustiness when they met for the first time, which was a very special experience for both parties - for Herty and the others, it was the first time in their lives that they had established communication and cooperation with people in a virtual reality network (or rather...... Handed over to netizens? For Daniel, this means that he has finally met the "core messenger" of the "Wanderer", he has finally entered the inner circle of the power created by this unspeakable "god" from a foreign land, and he has finally gained ...... The true trust of extraterritorial loiters.

When Gawain introduced Jenny, Daniel couldn't help but show a look of surprise, he looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, his face was full of incredulity: "You are Ms. Jenny?" ”

Being called so by an old mage who could be his grandfather, Jenny suddenly waved her hand a little stiffly: "You...... Just call me Jenny. ”

"Ah, good ......," Daniel blinked, "I'm a little excited—I'm so impressed by rune logic that it has almost changed my understanding of the concept of runes and magic circles. ”

Seeing Jenny's slightly embarrassed appearance, Gawain coughed lightly: "Ahem, then you already know each other, let's sit down first." ”

Daniel quickly gathered his emotions and sat down at the round table with everyone - the new table was much larger than the one that had only Gawain and him in the original space, and there were more seats next to it, one of the dark red backrests without any markings was Gawain's, and each of the remaining chairs had everyone's name on it, apparently arranged by Gawain.

Daniel thinks that the "round table" may reflect the preferences of the wanderer, who is happy to be with his followers and communicate in a discussive manner, and the seating at the round table is more or less a reflection of the closeness of the followers to him.

In fact, Gawain was in the order in which the family ate - Hetty was the closest, Rebecca was second, and the rest of the people would be in the back row if they came to eat......

After taking his seat, Gawain didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Everyone who can come here is a trusted cronie of me, and you will also be companions who work together and rely on each other, and here, except for personal privacy and special confidential information that I deem to be particularly confidential, all other information should follow the guidelines of public sharing." So first of all, we need to understand the essence of this space – I see it as a laboratory. ”

An experimental space built on virtual reality.

A place that can simulate more than 90% of the laws of reality on a macro level.

A laboratory that can verify various technical ideas, build an experimental environment in an instant, and perform an unlimited number of trial and error at near zero cost.

It's a place that will delight any technology researcher!

As Gao Wen introduced the nature and function of this experimental space one by one, demonstrations began on the nearest alloy platforms-

Huge parts appeared out of thin air, the intricate magic cannons and magic engines were assembled almost instantaneously, they were up and running, they were tested in all kinds of extreme conditions, the cannons were fired, the engines roared, the gears and levers flew around, and everything looked like the real world...... No, it's better than the real world!

Rebecca's eyes widened, she saw that the large engine on a certain platform failed during operation, and then everything on the platform instantly froze, the failed engine was magnified, part of the structure became transparent, and the parts that were misaligned and broken inside were clearly presented to everyone in a "frozen" state, and every break point and flying debris were clearly visible.

When the demo was over, Gawain leaned back in his chair: "It works, as you can see. ”

Rebecca took a deep breath, and the Toutie Girl, who had always been carefree and optimistic, felt extremely shocked at this moment.

She glanced at Kamel, and although she couldn't read the other person's face, she was sure that the other party was also in shock.

The ancient archmage sighed softly: "Seven hundred years...... It seems that not all technologies are declining. ”

"We can use this to test the magic train!!" Rebecca excitedly said to Carmel, "And you can test both at the same time!" Don't be afraid of how many times you blow it up this time!! ”

"And the new rune array," even Jenny, who has always been shy, excited, "hundreds of rune arrays can also be tested quickly!" And you don't have to worry about wear and tear and safety issues! ”

Hetty looked at Rebecca and then at Jenny, the Cecil butler blinked, and suddenly reacted: "Wait, then am I ...... I don't need to approve funds for you? ”

The hand that approved the funds suddenly stopped trembling.
