Chapter 46: A Clear Way Forward
Evan was slapped in the face.
After the memory was raised to 100,000, he had said that he would not spend precious Legend Points to gamble his luck, but when the effectiveness of the "Hextech Core" was revealed, the swarm of Legend Points quickly filled up the memory.
In order not to waste it, Evan had to eat back what he said, and after exchanging the remaining drawings, he drew another prize, and exhausted the "legendary value" that was full again in the memory.
"It shouldn't be......"
The boy looked at the "Legend Value" memory that began to rise again, and was confused, although the light and shadow effect of the "Hex Technology Core" was very eye-catching, but he hadn't started to promote his name yet, how could the Legend Value have such an abnormal increase?
Not knowing that it was Tony, Ivan shook his head, put his doubts behind him, and returned his attention to the extracted item.
It was a metal notebook with a vertical pupil-like pattern on the cover.
Consciousness tapped, the metal notebook was not "eaten", apparently it was not a book or drawing derived from pure extraction of knowledge, but some kind of real object with a special function.
"How do you use it?"
Evan frowned and looked at the "backpack" interface, and was about to try other ways, when he saw that with the click of his consciousness, the notebook slowly opened.
The title page was written in a strange style, but Ivan understood what it meant.
It was a man's name, and his name was "Victor".
As the metal pages flipped, more and more self-talk appeared in front of Evan, and after a general glance at some of the descriptions, the boy sighed and closed the pages, and consciously left the pages of his backpack.
"It's worthy of being a big guy who can transform himself into a mechanical life, this ideological consciousness is really not something that we little fish and shrimp can understand. ”
Ivan teased inwardly, trying to get the crazy thoughts he saw out of his mind.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the metal book is a diary of Victor, or rather a conjecture note.
With the in-depth study of the evolution of "concepts", this technology tycoon feels more and more that the power of the individual is too weak before the endless mysteries of "concepts", and the only way to analyze them is to rely on the power of the group.
However, what he wanted to do was not to form an organization such as a scientific research society, but to build a whole by digitizing the consciousness of all living beings and then building an organization similar to a super-energy computing center, so that the consciousness and mind of all living beings could think together for him.
Thankfully, Victor eventually gave up on the idea of turning this idea, which had already paid off.
It is not that he recognizes that this kind of behavior is too indifferent to the life and ethical aspects, but that he is afraid that the worthless emotions in the consciousness of other beings will interfere with the negative efficiency of his way of thinking.
Therefore, he turned his attention to "glorious evolution", hoping to solve the problem of lack of energy and thinking ability when analyzing "concepts" by evolving himself into a transcendent life.
"Whew-"
Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Evan, whose thinking had been corrected, showed a wry smile.
Victor's notebook is definitely a demonic muttering that can make people crazy, and those who go deep into it will be unconsciously assimilated by the ideas described between the lines, and they will not feel anything, but will think that it is what he thinks in his heart.
If it weren't for Ivan's mastery of consciousness and the system's protection of his self-awareness, I am afraid that he would have enshrined this notebook as all the truth in the world after reading through it.
After all, for living beings who are sane enough and whose thinking logic is clear enough, pure rhetoric and empty ideas may be ignored, but the results of the discourse that are so accurate that it is as if the world is really in front of them are irresistible and refuted, because that is their pursuit engraved in the depths of their souls.
"At the end of science are the gods. ”
Never before had Evan felt this sentence so clearly.
In his previous life, he had seen some conjectures and descriptions of gods from myths and stories, and it was said that any mortal life who dared to look directly at the gods would be burned in the eyes and even fall into endless worship, infatuation, and even madness.
At this time, the detachment and mental radiation revealed in Victor's notes are no less than those self-proclaimed gods.
For Evan, the contents of this diary are not something he can analyze in depth for the time being, but it has given him the direction and confidence to understand that science is no less than the occult.
The so-called idea that foreign objects are inferior to one's own body is so ridiculous in front of this notebook.
For the bigwigs who have begun to explore the truth of the world, any "shallow knowledge" who cannot reach the same level is just "data" that can be influenced and deleted at will.
"Wait, the data ......"
The sudden surge of inspiration made Ivan stunned.
Victor's "Concept Evolution", Heimerdinger's "Material Analysis", Jace's "Belief Transformation", and those bigwigs who have stood at the forefront of science and technology have all found their own paths and means, so what about him, what should he use to get closer to the truth of the world?
Evan turned the system back to the backpack interface again, and the disgraceless metal notebook inside made him stunned for a long time.
After all, Victor's insight is limited by the Valoran world, but he has experienced the baptism of countless works in his previous life.
Moreover, he does not have the crazy idea of "annihilating humanity and returning to pure reason" of the other party.
So...... The train of thought that the other party has given up may really be used as a ladder to heaven that he has been moving forward on the technology side?
"Data ......"
Evan recited it silently, and he remembered the matrix of the Matrix, the so-called virtual reality, and even an extremely familiar term - "Source Project"!
"How do you know if you can't get through if you don't try?"
Ivan chuckled, clearly having made up his mind.
Research is never afraid to make mistakes and go the wrong way, because that is the foundation of success.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough knowledge to be successful.
After making a decision, Evan put the metal notebook behind for the time being, the ambitious goal is only worth remembering when the fork in the road, and it is still necessary to pay more attention to the road under your feet on weekdays to avoid falling on your heels.
For Ivan, the thing that can speed up the accumulation and progress of his knowledge is "Legend Points", and the rescue work of this New York incident is obviously the best time to accumulate Legend Points.
He needed some help from others, though.
With this in mind, the boy let go of the cane that had been holding it in his hand and slowly descended with it to the roof of the Stark Industrial Building.
Ignoring the cane standing on the ground, Evan took out the communicator from his bosom and dialed it with great interest.
