On the west side of the Divine Fall Plateau, in the Scorched Stone Wilderness, this forbidden land has been incorporated into the rule of the Red Federation and divided into the Zeta District.

The remnant of the ancestor of the deer mother and the "Dawning Core Hub", the source of the forbidden demon power, were cleared by Li Qi and the witches, but tens of thousands of years of erosion have produced an incomparably huge source magic force field cavity here, and the "Dawn Crystal" scattered deep underground, that is, the high-purity alchemy stone, is still in play, so that this place still maintains a forbidden state.

This is also deliberately done by the Red Federation, and there are too many benefits to keeping this forbidden demon area.

Relying on this "Forbidden Demon Reservoir", several giant micro-magic tidal wells can be built......

You don't need to build a special environment to test various micro-magic technologies......

Both traditional magic and new magic based on magic particles are affected by the Forbidden Zone. Moving all kinds of important production facilities and research institutes here adds a layer of natural protective cover......

Therefore, the Military Automation Factory, the Navy Factory, the Wonder Engineering Department (formerly the Mobile Fortress Engineering Department) and the corresponding research institutes of the Red Union have all moved here, and in addition to Emerald staying in the Ecological Park to engage in research in the field of life, the three intelligent spirits of Rusya, Chenguang and Serda have also migrated here.

All of these production and research institutes were owned by the Red Federation, with one exception, the Ethereal Commune, where the research institutes and laboratories of the Ethereal Commune were located.

The ethereal spirit technology was unique to the Red Federation, and the Red Federation's top brass had high hopes for it, so they adopted the commune system, mobilizing the full participation of the people's forces, and being extremely vigilant about it, placing it under strict control.

From the perspective of technological development, the ethereal spirit also needs to be attached to the micro-magic technology, which has a wide range of adaptability, and can take effect in any environment like conventional electricity. It is also much cheaper to build a more rigorous test environment on the basis of the forbidden area.

"No wonder it's so special......"

After reading the background information given by the ethereal spirit,, the officer of the Red Alliance's naval public relations department, muttered out the portal built at the base of the Tower of Babel.

Now his image is completely different from the past, wearing a pure white navy uniform made of special spider silk, which is particularly resistant to dirt and wrinkles and very breathable, and white leather boots on his feet. A large white cap with a purple rim and a brim pressed under the eyebrows. The smiling sun on the brim of the hat leads the five stars to shine on the sea of stars, and the galloping cannons of the giant ship and the high-spirited Red Union Navy badge are particularly eye-catching.

The original beard is gone, and there is a circle of green skin on the shaved face, which is neat and tidy. Coupled with the two-bar three-star dark gold epaulettes, it will definitely attract the attention of men and women wherever she goes, and the little girl will scream.

"It feels so bad, empty ......"

is very uncomfortable, being noticed by others is secondary, he is now all over his body, only a magic belt containing the "basic protection system" on his waist, the magic guide is armed and has no personal weapons, like a naked fruit, very insecure.

As a Navy publicist, going to an important classified research unit is not only a necessary security measure, but also a necessary courtesy.

After the reception of the Ethereal Spirit Commune connected with Deke's personal Ethereal Spirit, and according to the guidance of the reception of the Ethereal Spirit, Dekker rode the tram to the research institute. Looking around curiously along the way, it was the first time he had come to Zeta District.

Compared to the rest of the Red Federation, Zeta is much behind. There are no transparent ripples in the sky that are unique to protective barriers, nor are there floating cars and ships flying in the sky. The avenues on the ground are either three-dimensional or single-storey, and there are no repulsion cars in sight, all of which are trams running on wheels.

The buildings on the left and right sides of the street are not all kinds of bells and whistles, but well-behaved buildings. In fact, most of the buildings are underground, protected by thick rock formations and steel, and only living and logistics facilities are located above.

Beta, Gamma City, and even Delta City don't even have a huge mirage screen or projection here, but the web of everything is still valid, and Dekker can still see the enhanced vision signs of each building, but they basically represent the secret "XXXX".

Zeta will not always be like this, and Dakker also knows that researchers are still working day and night to promote micro-magic technology, rebuilding all the technological achievements of the past with micro-magic technology, so that even in the forbidden area, they can enjoy the benefits of extraordinary technological development.

This is not only related to people's lives, but also determines whether mortals can exert their power in the void where demons are completely forbidden, and even in the sea of stars and the kingdom of God that are dominated by other forces. For example, even Deke is amazed by the Void Fortress, which is a city in itself, and if you want to be able to fight in the Void, you must ensure that every link, whether it is life or fighting, can break through the limits of the forbidden demons.

Guided by the arrows in his field of vision, Dekker rode a small two-wheeled vehicle known as the "Electric Sheep" and soon arrived at the technical headquarters of the Ethereal Commune.

The department is located under a rocky mountain, where it is said that several legendary magisters and druids experimented with micro-magic, and the mountain was almost hollowed out to house the secret department.

He was greeted by a young man from Mune, and two young girls. The girls' expressions and movements are a little weird, and they are two magic puppets in Deke's induction, but they are very precise, and they can't be distinguished without careful induction.

"Alan Mahisen", the young man introduced himself, leaving in awe, this is the director of the Ethereal Spirit Research Institute under the Red Union Science and Technology Commission, and also serves as the technical director of the Ethereal Commune. He is also in charge of the technical headquarters of the Ethereal Commune, which reviews the research results of the various guilds and research institutes in the commune and oversees the direction of research.

The two girls introduced themselves, and sure enough, they were puppets, but they were not ordinary puppets.

The long-haired girl, who was a little more mature, said, "Estie 200 Ruthya, number 31007." ”

The shorter-haired and more lively girl said, "Agey Serda Type 700, number 30081." ”

It was actually two wise spirits, Rusya and Serda......

didn't know how to deal with Zhiling, and saluted solemnly: "The Navy Public Relations Department, Colonel-Qingteng, was ordered to come to contact the Void Spirit matter. ”

What type Rusya smiled: "Don't see you, we are very familiar with you, old Qingteng." ”

What type of Serda smiled even more, "We know you better than you do, but fear not, it is the natural duty of every wise soul to keep the secrets of mortals. ”

Dekker smiled wryly, that's why the Navy stuffed him into the PR department and ran around, everyone knew him.

The two puppets are just offshoots of Rusia and Serda, and they are watching thousands of things at the same time, talking to countless people, like gods.

Serda works at both the Micro Magic Research Institute and the Ethereal Research Institute, as well as an advisor to the Ethereal Commune. Rusya is mainly involved in spectacle projects, but she is also involved in the study of ethereal spirits. Anyway, for Zhi Ling, it is a matter of dividing part of the process, and it is not surprising that he wears many hats.

Alan smiled and said, "They are very curious about you as a big person, so they came to meet." ”

is very scared, you are the big guys, although you have a bit of a reputation, but what kind of reputation is that.

The two of them went to do other things, and when they left, Rusya kissed Alan on the cheek, so that Dekker could confirm a rumor.

Alan Mahison and Rusya are conducting research on love and fertility between mortals and souls......

Alan took Dekker to his office, chattering on the way.

"We're busy with this, and the testing period is still more than two months away, and the Navy is rushing to work on this project, so we can only finish it as soon as possible. ”

"Since the navy is on board, the air force and army, as well as the strategic forces, will definitely be on the side, and the hell plane army is also indispensable, and we are under a lot of pressure. ”

"So the focus is on your navy, and if all goes well, the rest of the story will be easier to say. ”

Although there is a government affairs and military information network based on the red network, and the information exchange between the various departments of the Red Union is very fast and smooth, this decision directly affects the vital interests of the officers and men of the navy, as well as the basic concepts, and someone needs to do a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding, and then publicize it to the officers and men at all levels of the navy.

This decision was to equip all officers and men of the Navy with a uniform standard of portable virtual spirits.

The citizens of the Red Federation, including the military, the sidekicks of the army, and the ethereal spirits, are all free to choose. Even in the military and secret departments, it is only a review of the members' personal ethereals and requires them to have corresponding functions.

The current implementation of such a policy by the Navy will inevitably arouse a lot of concerns and even a wave of opposition.

Everyone is worried that once there is a problem with the ethereal spirit of the unified system, it will not be an individual trouble, but an overall victim. Of course, there are many people, especially those who are rollable and free, who don't like to carry around void spirits in the first place, and even more so to argue that this direction will lead to the evil abyss that imprisons the souls of mortals.

"There's no way, the big war is coming, and the cardinal may also have to make big news, and he is mobilizing warships and transforming equipment......"

had attended the decision-making meeting on this matter, and knew why the Navy had made such a decision: "The raid on Fort Shenhuang and the battle of Hunter Sky Reef, we suffered heavy casualties. If the Portable Ethereal Spirit had been able to play a further role, many casualties could have been avoided. ”

"Moreover, the existing ethereal spirits also conflict with the first aid methods such as the head cutter, and when the soul state of the warriors is changed, the ethereal spirits will have various problems. The light ones will leave the host, and the heavy ones will drag the soul to stay in the main plane. Many souls who could have gone down to the Necropolis to become heroic spirits were either twisted into hell or brutally strangled by the enemy. ”

Entering the office, Alan pointed to the sofa, sank into the chair, and sighed: "Yes, all kinds of portable ethereals in the commune before did not focus on military use, and we were all immersed in low-level research, and we didn't notice the need for this." ”

He spread his palm, and a projection resembling a crystal ball appeared.

Looking closely at it, it was a diamond-like polyhedron, and Dyck estimated that it had about fifty or sixty facets.

"It's not the crystal or soul stone that holds the ethereal spirit, it's the ethereal spirit itself. The original ethereal spirit was not formed, it flowed like water, and it was more ethereal than air. But now we can solidify the ethereal spirit into a state of sixty-four faces, and then combine it with the nuclear crystal to form a stable individual. ”

"What does it mean to have many and fixed faces? It means that the ethereal spirit can carry more complex states of transcendent power movement, eh...... Without such an academic term, it is equivalent to a spell structure, but only at the level of micro-magic. ”

"Originally, our technique of solidifying and processing ethereal spirits was very crude, and it was done through the Soul Enslavement Circle. On that macroscopic scale, the success rate of ethereal curing is less than five percent. Until the micro-magic technology matured, through the micro-magic fluctuation screening, the ethereal spirit was purified, and the soul enslavement circle was also replaced with a more precise soul cutting technique, and finally reached the current height. ”

"Sixty-four facets can almost hold a spell structure equivalent to a millizan amplitude, barely enough to hold a rune structure of a macroscopic zero-level spell......"

The projection shrinks, and countless polyhedra are distributed in a viscous transparent liquid, forming a structure similar to a magic circle.

Alan patiently explained the Ethereal Spirit to Dakk: "So we connected them to each other, like stacking circles, and created the inlay structure. ”

"So we stacked out the Ethereal Units out of thousands of these gadgets, which we called the Ethereal Matrix. Considering the need for mana scattering and effective management, the maximum matrix of each Ethereal Unit is 100,000. Because each matrix within the unit can form a separate circuit between them, the entire unit can simulate what happens when a real soul invokes a level 6 spell. ”

"The ethereal spirits, magic weapons, weapons, as well as all kinds of small node furnaces, magic furnaces, and other magic guides on your body, all use ethereal spirit units of this level. ”

When Alan said this, Dekker subconsciously touched his bracers. His carry-on ethereal spirit was contained in a bracer, and its body was a thin, translucent film. After soulbinding through the Red Net, help him connect to the Red Net and use various magic devices.

Allen continued, "The production of the Ethereal Matrix has been achieved by unmanned automatic production, and the Ethereal Soul produces itself. However, the yield is only 30%, because each substrate is actually different, and the error accumulation is too large, and the structure formed by stacking cannot stably carry extraordinary power. ”

"Ethereal units can also continue to be stacked to form an ethereal array. The Ethereal Spirit Array is powerful enough to simulate Legendary-level souls and manage and dispatch Legendary-level extraordinary powers. Our Node Furnace, Magic Electric Furnace, Fighter Planes, Floating Battleships, and various large magic devices all rely on the Ethereal Spirit Array to mobilize and manage extraordinary powers. ”

"However, the Ethereal Spirit Array requires a more complex design of scattered demons, and it also needs to use more advanced procedures for more efficient synchronization and exert the power that the array should have. Therefore, each type of ethereal spirit array will spend a lot of energy, including His Majesty Xiaohong, who often mobilizes different code farmers...... Well, the development department assisted with the design. ”

Allen's tone became strange: "But I'm still very dissatisfied with the fact that some of His Highness Sisi appropriated the manpower of the development department, and even encouraged many guilds in the Ethereal Commune to spend a lot of energy on game development. ”

Dekker was thinking about something else at this time, the Nini in his magic fighter before......

He subconsciously asked, "How does the ethereal spirit simulate the soul of a mortal?"

Alan replied, "The Wisdom Spirits have undergone a soul transformation, and they have helped us in the manifestation of the power of the Void Spirits. In addition, we have also done a lot of experiments with living mortal souls, rest assured, that was in the past, and you should know whose soul was used at that time. Now that there is the underlying data, especially His Majesty Xiaohong's analysis of the soul of the merger in the Kingdom of God, there is no need to use the living soul for experiments. ”

This was not the answer Deke wanted, and he timidly asked again, "Does this mean that it is possible for the Ethereal Spirit to transform into a real soul like the Wisdom Spirit?"

Alan paused, and then laughed: "How is that possible? The structure of the ethereal spirit is fixed, and the state is solidified. How to exercise is also set according to the program. Moreover, each type of ethereal spirit is a fixed purpose, and can only carry one type of power or spell, which determines that it will not face a complex environment that will cause it to produce any changes......"

gritted his teeth and decided to tell what he had been hiding in his heart for almost two months.

"Your ...... Nini......"

Alan tilted his head and tried to hold back a smile: "Said she would be resurrected?"

blushed, but he said seriously, "I wasn't hallucinating at the time, it's true!"

He narrowed his eyes, and his tone became cold: "Your Excellency Rusya and the other Excellencies of the Wisdom Spirit, in fact, have also changed from Void Spirits to Wisdom Spirits. Your Excellency, is it true that some of you already know, or have mastered some kind of technology, that can turn ethereal spirits into living souls?"

"This is simply something that only gods can do, you want to monopolize such an ability, so you hide it from everyone, even from Your Majesty Xiaohong?"

Allen shook his hands and shook the afterimage: "I didn't! No way! Don't talk nonsense!"

He said eagerly: "Rusya's predecessor is still a mortal soul, strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a void spirit, so there is the possibility of transformation. ”

"As I said just now, even if it is an ethereal spirit array, it is only designed for a specific spell and use, and it cannot be compared to a real soul with infinite possibilities. ”

Dekker only scared him, and when he heard this, he snorted, "But what the hell is going on with my Nini?"

Alan frowned: "The situation you said may be related to the ...... of some ethereal designers Bad taste. ”

's eyes widened, "Bad taste?"

Alan smiled bitterly and sighed and spread his hands three times: "You also know that there are countless bastards with holes in their heads gathered in the Ethereal Commune, and they are always whimsical. ”

"For example, some designers have created a transferable ethereal, which can not only record the thinking patterns of the holder, but also contain the ability to inspire new people. The idea of the designers is that when one of our members of the Red Federation is promoted to a higher level and needs to replace the ethereal spirit that comes with us, we can give this ethereal spirit to the newcomer and act as a mentor to supervise his rapid growth. ”

"That guy has already made a lot of test items, passed the audit, and a lot of people from the Adventurer Commune and the Aviator Commune are using it. ”

"That guy also wants to make a new model of 'Portable Mentor' on the basis of this thing, spread it around the Dawning Empire, and quietly train new people. However, the Intelligence Bureau was not interested in such uncontrollable things, and the Military Youth League Committee and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry also felt that spreading it to the outside world was more likely to become a tool for targeted training by the Holy See of Order, and banned this direction. ”

He nodded his forehead, presumably initiating the ethereal's habitual movements.

"You tell me the specific number, and I'll help you find out who designed that Nini. ”

reported the number, and Alan sent it to the internal work network of the Ethereal Commune, and the results were available in a few minutes.

"Jordi Kemaka ......"

Alan flicked his palm and unfurled a curtain of light in front of Dake: "Ask him yourself, he happens to be free." ”

In the light curtain was a guy with a full eye, fluffy and messy blond hair wrapped around his head, like a lion's head.

He yawned and asked, "What Nini......"

Dekker hurriedly recounted the strange behavior of the fighter plane before activating the self-destruct device in the Castle of the God Emperor.

"Ah...... I remember......"

The designer, Yodi, said embarrassedly: "That's my previous batch of works, and there was a little easter egg in it." ”

"If something goes wrong, or if it's about to be damaged, set the level to let the ethereal tell the user that it will be reborn. ”

clenched his fists and said angrily, "This is not called an easter egg!"

Jodi shook his finger and said, "No, no, of course it's not just that. As long as you can find the Ethereal Fragment and repair it, even if all the data is damaged, your original interactive image will be restored, and then ......"

He opened his arms, tilted his head, and said happily, "Tell you, I'm back!

Dyke lowered his head and covered his face and muttered to himself, "Give back my fantasies, and my Nini, bastard!"

The episode skipped and Dekker quickly calmed down and talked to Alan about business.

The Navy had chosen one of several proposals proposed by the Ethereal Commune a few months ago, and it was still in the testing period, and it was originally intended to be promoted only as a suggestion, not mandatory.

This kind of "Navy Type 32 Portable Void Spirit" is named "Navy Type 32 Portable Void Spirit", and compared with the general Portable Void Spirit, it mainly highlights three major functions.

The first is a more effective security, with deeper integration with protection and life support systems, as well as enhanced soul-level protection. When necessary, it is possible to resist an attack that causes the soul state to change, which is literally death, by sacrificing the Void Spirit.

The second is through the in-depth integration of weapons and equipment, so that soldiers can fight and cooperate faster and more accurately, and avoid mistakes and deviations.

The third is a more effective enforcement of military discipline, which is certainly not carried out through punitive coercive means.

In the Red Alliance, especially in the Ethereal Commune, there is a supreme precept regarding the research and creation of ethereal spirits bound to souls, that is, the ethereal spirits that carry them must not obey the will of outsiders who are not their own, interfere with their will, and impose coercive restraint or even harm.

This precept is derived from the fundamental credo of the Crimson faith, the freedom of the soul, and it is an inviolable iron law.

The solution to this is to force the interface of the Avatar to be a member of the Navy, which cannot be customized or changed personally, and can only select gender and race. The interface is set up for soldiers who are well versed in all military discipline and laws of the navy, not only serving naval soldiers in all aspects, but also playing the role of supervision and reminder.

Therefore, this kind of portable ethereal spirit of the navy is actually a ethereal spirit companion. When the owner retires, they can choose to unbind them or take them away, which counts as retirement.

After listening to the explanation, gave a live demonstration by Allen.

came here to eat crabs, the first to bind the Navy Ethereal, and of course he chose a human female.

Seeing the pretty figure projected, Dekker sighed gloomily: "My Nini ......"
