Cecil City, North Shore Development Area, Imperial Computing Center.

The majestic pyramid-like structure sits quietly on the open riverbank heights, the magic of the light flowing silently in the magic veins on the surface of the building, the newly transplanted greenery around the building, and the magic net obelisk and signal gain devices that separately power the facility on both wings of the pyramid - this new facility glistens in the sunlight and is ready for today's official opening.

The black magic guide car with the imperial insignia was safely parked in front of the pyramid, and when the door opened, Gawain and Hetty stepped out of the car.

The person in charge of the computing center was already waiting at the door.

"It looks so pretty—much prettier than I thought it would be," Hetty couldn't help but look up at the top of the "pyramid", watching the arcane light flow on the sloping surface, and she didn't hesitate to admire, "It does appeal to ordinary people more than traditional, serious research facilities." ”

"The 'distribution stations' that will be open to the public will follow similar design ideas," Gawain said with a smile, "after all, they are not only research facilities for the Empire, but also part of a series of livelihood projects that follow." ”

In the middle of their two or three sentences, the technical team led by Yuri had already come to Gawain - these former Eternal Sleeper priests saluted Gawain with a hint of awe, and saluted Gawain with a more respectful attitude than ordinary Cecil, Yuri bowed his head and said meticulously: "Salute you, Your Majesty the Emperor - we have completed the task you have assigned, and the Imperial Computing Center is ready." ”

"Very well," Gawain smiled and nodded, "you guys are doing well." Keep your heads up, Cecil's rules aren't that strict. ”

The former Eternal Sleepers raised their heads one by one, and Gawain and Hetty glanced at these people who were "making up for their mistakes", they were about to say something more, but the next second they were suddenly stunned.

Gawain looked at Yuri—and almost everyone else—with the obvious dark circles on their faces—with a strange expression, and there was inevitably a hint of surprise in his tone: "You guys...... Okay? ”

Yuri didn't react at first, and was stunned on the spot with a pair of huge dark circles and bloodshot eyes, but he soon understood what Gawain meant, and when he was surprised that the "Extraterritorial Wanderer" would care about the health of himself and others, he quickly shook his head: "Please don't worry, this is a common occurrence for researchers......

A group of former bishops and archbishops nodded their heads when they heard this, and the scene was full of fairy air - Gawain looked at these people almost dumbfounded, and then turned his head and whispered to Hetty: "I think they are a little higher than you - this is not a painting......"

Hetty: "......"

The old ancestor forbade her to learn to talk to Amber, but what should the old ancestor do if he keeps talking?

But before she could respond, Gawain had already stepped forward: "Then let's not waste time, let's go in now." Yuri, you lead the way. ”

Gao Wen couldn't help but urge a little, not because he couldn't wait for the acceptance and computing center, but mainly because the mental state of these eternal sleepers made people feel bottomless, he was really afraid that these guys would die suddenly on the spot to show himself - to say that he is really the only one of the three dark sects engaged in network engineering, how long has this group of people not slept? They are all sorry for their name of "Sleeper......

With a hint of drifting thoughts, Gawain followed Yuri and the others into the building of the computing center, the spacious and bright thinking hall and the mental hub that was emitting a faint humming sound greeted everyone in front of them, Wendy, who was walking next to Yuri, said with excitement and joy: "Your Majesty, all of us are deeply attracted by this incredible technological idea, and the more we delve into it, the more we feel its almost limitless potential- We used to think that the psychic network created by the Order of the Eternal Sleepers would be enough to solve all the world's 'computational' problems, but after seeing the information about the origin space, we realized that the development of technology is indeed endless......"

"This stuff keeps everybody up at night," Semler muttered, "and we even want to put ourselves in the immersion pod all day." These days, the team is building a new network 'base' from scratch, creating a basic mental space, sorting out the consciousness level, and building a zero-layer network...... Everyone doesn't want to rest, and everyone doesn't want to miss this history-making event. ”

Yuri nodded, and picked up the topic: "In fact, we're already thinking about how to make the more physically powerful transcendents able connect to the Internet for longer, Archbishop Rutherford...... Researcher Rutherford wanted to improve on the 'artificial umbilical cord' that had been used on the brain servant to provide energy for the vital circulation—your idea of modifying the psychic network has revealed that the technology related to the brain servant can actually be harmless. Our initial idea is to find the direction of improvement of the brain servant technique from the empirical memory of researcher Magnum, who is currently the only person who has undergone the transformation of the brain servant and is awake to 'return'......"

A middle-aged man with sparse hair on his forehead—he was what Yuri called "Researcher Rutherford"—smiled when he heard this, and said with a little pride: "The key to this is to accurately extract and analyze the part of Researcher Magnum's memory, so far we have solved most of the preliminary problems, and the only remaining problem is how to get Researcher Magnum to cooperate......"

Wendy couldn't help but sigh: "When he becomes an Internet mind, the punches and kicks that used to work are ineffective...... Selena and Lord Megaul, the only ones who could help, didn't seem interested in our new ideas. ”

Gawain: "......"

The former Sleepers donned the uniforms of researchers, and after breaking away from those dark and heavy plans, they threw themselves into purely technical careers, and as a result, these people seemed to get a little too high, and began to run in the other extreme direction of the earth, so much so that Gawain had to interrupt in the midst of their heated discussion: "Stop—stop." You guys are calm and calm. ”

Only then did Yuri and the others suddenly realize that they seemed to be too excited after talking about technology, so much so that they almost forgot the majesty of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer", and suddenly stopped nervously, while Gawain frowned and looked at these people: "Don't forget the previous lesson." ”

Semler took a soft breath and bowed his head deeply: "Yes, we will not forget. ”

Gawain's expression relaxed slightly: "Cecil's research work has a complete process of project establishment, evaluation, review, and approval, I think you should have read the relevant documents, first remember them, and then you can talk about the future in Cecil." ”

In fact, he also wanted to add his own thoughts - although the overzealous research impulse was harmful, the persecution of Magnum seemed to be quite pleasant, but it was a pity that this sentence obviously undermined the majesty of the extraterritorial wanderer, so he had to hold it back......

……

The anti-gravity rune-powered lifting platform silently docked in the middle of the half-moon slot, and Gawain and Hetty stepped off the platform. Together with Yuri and the others, they rode through the isolation gate on the top floor of the computing center, and with the soft sound of the mechanical locking device, the platform returned to the floor and a bright, pure white room appeared to everyone.

This is the room on the top floor of the entire computing center, and it is also the main destination of Gao Wen's "acceptance" of the computing center today.

Hetty looked curiously around the room, which clearly had a special security level.

The layout of this place looks much the same as that of other "connecting rooms", with dozens of immersion pods neatly arranged on the floor, a series of runic devices and ancillary equipment distributed against the wall, the only difference from other computer rooms is that Hetty does not see a "column" in the center of the room to connect to the mental hub, but instead a large seat that is particularly eye-catching.

The chair was housed on a silvery-white metal platform, with a large number of runic chains and artificial neural cords extending from the base, and the glow of the runes and arcane streamers flowed between them, indicating that it was activated—the chair reminded Herty of the first "immersion" device in the lab at the time, but it was clearly some kind of more advanced device.

After briefly recalling the architectural layout of the computing center, Hetty realized that this "seat" was located at the center of the entire "pyramid", directly above the mental hub!

"Did you notice?" Gawain noticed Hetty's gaze, he smiled, and said as he walked forward, "This device is also used to connect to the 'narrator neural network', you can think of it as a special immersion pod, but it is directly connected to the mental hub, which is equivalent to a part of the mental hub. Kamel built it himself, and in order to make it even more connected, there were seventeen artificial nerve cords attached under the seat, as well as a large number of magic web connections—this was for me. ”

Hetty had already known about Gawain's plan in advance, so there was no big surprise at this time, but after seeing the special "connecting device" for the first time, he showed a simple curious look, but Yuri and the others present looked at each other, but before they could ask anything, a slight friction sound of the mechanical device running was heard again in the direction of the gate of the lifting platform not far away.

The platform returned to the room, and Carmel and Veronica stepped down from the platform.

Veronica held the platinum scepter and nodded lightly to Gawain, "Sorry, we're late." ”

Kamel then explains: "It took a little bit of time to coordinate the mid-level and lower-level network technology groups and to debug the remote equipment. ”

"No, it's just right," Gawain smiled, "we're about to get started." ”

Then he turned his head and looked at Yuri and the others.

"The necessary people are here," he said in a deep voice, "and now everybody is on the network — we're going to get to the final step of activating the 'Narrator Neural Network.'" ”

The "archbishops" looked a little dazed, but Hetty, Carmel, and Veronica had already made their way to the immersion pods closest to the center of the room, and Semler and the others reacted quickly - no one questioned the orders of the extraterritorial wanderers, and they quickly found the available immersion pods on their own, and lay in them one by one.

Gawain came to the "chair" in the center of the room and sat down slowly after calming down a little.

Normally, he doesn't need to use any equipment to connect to the network, but that's what happened during the "psychic network".

Today's "narrator neural network" has a higher level of security, has higher connection requirements, and simple mental signals will be physically blocked by the terminal device, so he must also use a special set of connection devices to enter this new network.

It's all about safety.

A slightly cold and tingling touch came from a series of contacts on the back of the seat, and a little magic penetrated the not too thick clothing, and began to connect with the nervous system, Gawain relaxed his spirit, and little by little entered the newly established and still immature cyberspace.

A sky-blue connection interface quickly crossed the field of vision, and the chaotic light and shadow gathered from all directions, and after a brief sense of spatial displacement and weightlessness, the scene in front of everyone's eyes finally gradually stabilized.

A vast but empty grassland stretches out in the field of vision, a bright and clean sky envelops the land, and a breeze blows from nowhere, sweeping soft blades of grass and flower stems.

In the distance, there are flickering blocks of color and lines that are curling and moving, outlining new things in the world and new boundaries of the earth, and there are huge light curtains moving in the sky, adjusting the details and contours of the world.

The technicians in other computer rooms in the computing center and the Magic Technology Research Institute are still constantly improving the world, and those color blocks, lines and light curtains are the scenes of their busy work, and at a deeper level, in the "national application layer" of the network, a new origin space has been formed, and a new origin laboratory is being built.

Gao Wen looked at this beautiful but still slightly empty place, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face: "Not bad. ”

Then he slowly opened his hands and began to peel off a piece of "data" from his "memory bank" that he had saved not long ago.

If you want to disobey God, you must first study God, and if you want to study God, it is better to have a sample.

Samples that have been harmlessly treated are excellent.
