In the dark and chaotic Shadow Courtyard, the giant deer Amone was carefully manipulating his magic, trying to fiddle with the magic net terminal not far away, while the goddess of magic, Mirmina, was squatting a little bored, looking at the sky in the distance filled with black lightning and chaotic geometric masses.

Of course, considering that she has no legs, and her lower body is just a cloud that looks like a long skirt, this so-called "squatting" should be more like compressing the cloud and changing the shape of her lower body.

"As a result, only the opening and opening speeches were live-streamed," the former goddess of magic glanced back at Amone, who was studying the terminal of the magic web, and her tone was a little regretful, "Later, it became a few people called 'guest scholars' sitting in the room chatting and analyzing......"

"Actually, I think it's interesting to see how other people perceive this kind of world-changing event," Ammon said, "Isn't it interesting that they're trying to get ordinary people to start paying attention to the changes in the world, and it seems to be quite effective?" ”

"Okay...... It's interesting in itself," Milmina sighed, "but I'd like to know where their meeting is now......

"It's impossible to broadcast this kind of thing to the public," Amone said in a deep "I understand" tone, "not to mention that their meetings will last at least a few days, or even ten days, and they can't go on live all the time." ”

"You're just new to the magic web communication, and you seem to be very experienced," Mirmina couldn't help but glance at Amone, "Anyway, do you understand your research?" When I understand the research, I will change back to the magic shadow drama, and I haven't finished watching it yet. ”

"How do I remember that this magic web terminal is mine?" Amone couldn't help but say, and then used some curiosity to switch some additional functions of the magic network terminal, "I'm studying how to turn on this neural network intervention switch...... It's weird, there's a feature here, but it doesn't respond at all after what you said. ”

Mirmina frowned, and said casually as she turned over, "I'll see? ”

After a moment, the former goddess of magic shook her head: "Give up, it's not the problem of the magic network terminal, it's that the upper nodes are not open to us - the neural network intervention switch is used to switch the sending and receiving mode of this device, and after opening the magic network terminal, it can not only be used to unilaterally receive the public signals in the magic network, but also allow us to access the neural network...... Do you understand? This thing can't be open to us. ”

Amone didn't seem to react at once: "Why can't it be open to us?" ”

Mirmina was very patient this time: "Because once we enter the neural network, we can actively contact other users on the network, we can publish information on the network, and even if we do some signal conversion, it can also allow us to enter the consciousness level of the neural network, and enter the 'origin space' constructed by the world of mental images." ”

Amone isn't good at things in magic? But his speed of thought and comprehension are still strong? He had heard some of the words mentioned by Mirmina, so he quickly understood what they meant: "You are talking about the network that connects the consciousnesses of many mortals?" Can this device give us access to it? ”

"That's it? Neural networks? Mirmina nodded, "The magic web is the physical basis of neural networks?" A neural network is an application construct in the magic web that connects many people in many places? Did I dive to the edge of the sea of consciousness through the nodes of the neural network in the first place? and there to use non-directional currents of thought to wash away the ...... of their own divinity"

“…… Then they really can't let us in," Amone sighed, "Our minds are a huge danger factor for neural networks. ”

The former god of nature sighed? Feeling a little regretful? But Mirmina, who was on the side, suddenly fell silent, as if she thought of something, her eyes stared straight at the terminal of the magic net not far away, which quickly attracted Amone's attention: "What? Do you think of anything again? ”

"This set of magic net terminals is specially made, so that you can control it even if you can't move? At the same time, it adapts to your massive body, and every structure of it has been redesigned. ”

There was a faint white light floating in Amone's eyes: "So what? ”

"So if Gawain Cecil really doesn't want to expose us to neural networks? If he doesn't want us to have a chance to send out a message to the outside world, he can simply not install this function - install this function and then cut off the signal from the higher-level node? Don't you think it's a contradiction to do that? ”

"I'm correcting, do you want 'me' to be exposed to neural networks? And not 'we' – this thing is what I'm coming? How did it somehow become common for the two of us? Amon couldn't help but remind Mirmina who had been here for a long time? But then he also admitted that the other party's doubts were very reasonable, "But what you said also makes sense...... If he really doesn't want us to touch neural networks, he shouldn't leave this feature at all. ”

Mirmina didn't respond, she just quietly looked at the magic network terminal that was playing news programs not far away, and she didn't know how many things she thought about, before she suddenly showed a smile and whispered: "...... He was indeed an interesting mortal. ”

……

On the north shore of Cecil City, in the Imperial Computing Center shaped like a huge pyramid, a hall is brightly lit, and a large number of magic devices and technicians are in a state of intense and busy work - the surface of the mental hub in the center of the hall is flickering, runes are surging, and there is a continuous buzzing low sound inside, and more than a dozen immersion pods that are in a state of networking are directly connected around the mental hub, and through the transparent hatch, you can see the node apprentice in white uniform lying quietly inside, Further away from the Centrifugal Intelligence Hub, you can also see a number of consoles, above which are projections of various images and numbers, and dozens of staff members are busy with them.

In addition, on the four walls of the hall, you can also see projected complex runes reminiscent of the deep sea, several psionic singers are floating above the hall, and next to them floats a brain protected by a crystal container, compared to the larger "wet server" used on the battlefield, this brain has significantly fewer external devices, and its overall volume is also significantly smaller - it is a new generation of equipment made for indoor test environments, called "servo brain", It can provide additional computing power and mana support to psionic singers like a large wetware server, spreading the effects of psionic singing, and although the protection and stability are significantly inferior to military models, it is just right for use in a laboratory environment.

Under the control of the psionic singer and the servo brain, low-frequency oscillations imperceptible to the human ear filled the entire hall, providing mental protection for everyone in the hall.

A technician in a short white and black robe exited from a console and walked towards the mental hub in the center of the hall, the technician's uniform wore a special insignia that looked like an eye overlooking the earth, but between the eyes and the horizontal line that symbolized the earth, there were two crossed daggers, and underneath the emblem was a line of bold letters:

Spiritual Interpretation Laboratory, Researcher No. 1175.

With a folder in hand, the technician walked quickly to the mental hub, where a middle-aged man with monocles and an elegant-looking temperament was standing, intently analyzing the parameters projected by a device. After noticing someone approaching, the middle-aged man turned around: "What happened?" ”

"Yuri Node," the researcher replied immediately, "the monitoring device of the special terminal just sent a signal, and 'over there' seems to have been trying to access the neural network, but it has been intercepted. ”

Yuri, the former Eternal Sleeper, is now a "node master" at the Imperial Computing Center, which is the title of a high-level researcher specializing in neural networks and brain-computer fields, and after hearing the researcher's report, he couldn't help but raise his hand to support his monocle, with an interested expression on his face: "It seems that simply watching the show can no longer satisfy the god who is on vacation...... Did he discover a new feature in the Magic Net Terminal? ”

"Perhaps...... It's not just a god," the researcher glanced at the folder in his hand, a somewhat strange expression on his face, "We've received several records in a row with significantly different operating habits, and the activation device in the terminal has also received unrecorded mana fluctuations, so it's clear that the device isn't just a 'person' in use." ”

The expression on Yuri's face also became strange, and then he shook his head: "That's right...... It was really said by His Majesty, but did it come out as soon as it was caught......

"Need to intervene?" The researcher couldn't help but say, "That doesn't seem to quite match what we had in mind at first. ”

“…… Don't bother, just keep an eye and keep a record," Yuri shook his head, "It's planned now, it's just Plan B." ”

Speaking of this, he lifted his monocle again, and his expression became serious: "What is the result of sample feedback and filtering?" ”

"The results are as expected so far!" The researcher immediately said with a hint of excitement, "After the 'filtering' of the non-directional ideology, the spiritual pollution from 'over there' has been significantly weakened, and in the process of cross-border transmission of the magic network signal, the non-directional ideology has not affected the normal communication, and its own fluctuations have always been at a normal value. It turns out that the 'chaotic' data region in the deepest part of the neural network can indeed effectively eliminate divine pollution without affecting the security of the network itself! ”

Yuri listened quietly to the report from the subordinate researcher, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he managed to control his excitement, leaving only a faint smile.

It's too early to rejoice – but the harvest is worth smiling.

Not long ago, Gawain ordered a set of magic net devices to be sent to the deepest part of the fortress of disobedience, nominally, this is to allow the former "god of nature" who has escaped from the god position to relieve his boredom in his spare time, but behind this incident is actually an extremely important project has been launched: try to put the deepest "non-directional thought" of the neural network into practical use, test whether it can be used to solve the spiritual pollution of the gods, and even test whether it can be used as an artificial and controllable tool to directly affect the divinity of the gods!

This sounds bold, but it's not a whimsical idea - in essence, this project is a test of the repeatability and operability of the process by which the goddess of magic Mirmina's desecration and divinity is repeatable, and it is a normal scientific research project with both a realistic case and a theoretical basis.

However, it is possible to think of using the things that the gods have done as a reference, and even the gods themselves as "tool gods" for testing...... This line of thinking made Yuri marvel in his heart more than once - Gawain is worthy of the name of "Wanderer of the Territory", such an open and bold way of thinking...... It's really hard for ordinary people to reach.

"Node Master, are we going to go any further?" Seeing that Yuri didn't speak for a long time, the researcher on the side couldn't help but ask cautiously, "It should be possible to read the data more directly over there, and if the non-directional thought can have a stable effect, we may be able to consider directly interacting with the Shadow Courtyard in the near future......"

“…… It's still early, and more data is needed," Yuri thought for a moment, but shook his head, "The spiritual contamination of the gods can sometimes show imperceptible, subtle changes, which are more terrifying and subtle than the direct and brutal erosion mutations - we need to establish a long-term observation team, and all researchers working in this hall should be put on the record, and then consider moving on to the next step when they are sure that there is no problem." ”

Speaking of which, the former Eternal Sleeper couldn't help but think of the "Upper Narrator Pollution" that had spread beneath Orlandal, a memory that still sends chills down my neck when I think about it.

The researcher saw the seriousness in Yuri's eyes and immediately nodded in response, and Yuri said after a short thought, "Although it is not yet time to move forward to the next stage, considering the results of this stage, we can try to superimpose the filtered signal on the test network today to see the reaction...... Is there a spare viewing window on the other side of the immersion chamber? ”

"The third immersion module has just been idle," the researcher immediately glanced at the folder in his hand, but then looked up at the psionic singers who were floating in the air, using their psionic singing voices to protect the entire hall, "but if you want to carry out a superposition test, it is necessary to increase the protection level of the hall, and the strength of the psionic singers may not be enough—people are not tired, but this servo brain is almost running at full power." ”

Yuri then glanced up at the "Laboratory Protection Team" floating in the air, and his eyes fell on the brain that was soaked in the crystal container, with tentacles hanging in the air, and looked like it was swimming: "Thorin Lab said that this 'servo brain' has excellent improvement resistance...... Let's overclock, we'll only do a short test once. ”

"Yes."

The researcher immediately agreed, then turned and beckoned to one of the Psionic Singers in mid-air, and after the other person dropped in height, he said to him, "To put the servo brain into an overclocking state, we need a short period of high-spec protection." ”

The psionic singer in the lightweight hazmat suit made a gesture that was okay, turned and floated towards the floating brain above, and at the same time casually pulled out a handful of jelly beans from the tactical fanny pack of the hazmat suit - the graceful floating brain instantly refreshed itself and quickly stretched its tentacles to the candy in the psychic singer's hand, and a burst of bubbles rose in the translucent crystal container, making a gurgling sound.

The researcher standing on the ground looked up at the scene in the air and couldn't help muttering, "...... Honestly, it's pretty weird. ”

“…… Lady Bertila's stuff has always been so weird," Yuri said with a complicated expression, and then couldn't help but tilt his head and remind, "Don't be too ruthless! Blood sugar can't bear it! ”
