In the early morning of March 21, 2023.

Huang Si was still sleeping in the bed, and suddenly, in his sleep, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

But because he didn't want to get up, he turned over, and Huang Si continued to sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, he felt more and more that something was wrong, that something seemed to be something in the darkness outside.

Now that Huang Si's perception ability is already very strong, if he feels that something is wrong, something must have really happened.

Huang Si immediately came to the computer to check the monitoring.

Sure enough, of the 10 symbols representing the robot on the surveillance screen, only one remained, and the other 9 were missing.

These robots are using a WIFI connection to send back data, is it possible that the network has been interfered with?

Huang Si looked at the location of the only remaining robot, but found that it had deviated from the originally arranged exploration area far, far away, almost a kilometer away from the house.

Something must have forced it to move such a long distance, engulfing 9 other robots by the way.

So Huang Si immediately ordered through the computer to let this only remaining robot take its current position as the center point and continue to explore outward.

The robot followed the command and began to circle over and over again.

Huang Si, on the other hand, stayed in the house and continued to build small robots in order to replenish them. However, he has not been released yet.

March 23, 2023.

The little robot in the distance seemed to have touched something in the dark, and because it couldn't see in the dark, Huang Si ordered it to explore the shape of the object through touch sensing.

After a while, Huang Situo looked at the 3D outlined shape on the screen.

Is this an arc?

The robot continues to climb on the object, and the 3D shape on the screen gradually refines.

Cirque?

No, the robot hasn't finished exploring, and Huang Si manipulates the robot to continue exploring towards the center of the ring.

Suddenly, the robot's signal disappeared.

Huang Si: "??? ”

Is this ring a monster and will eat other robots!

Huang Si looked at the blank space on the monitoring screen and felt a little distressed. He assembled the robot by hand, because it can't be produced on an assembly line yet. Not to mention the creative power consumed, the cost of labor alone is enough to cause a headache.

All of a sudden, there are 10 gone, can you not feel distressed?

However, what he didn't expect was that after a while, the robot's signal reappeared.

Huang Si didn't rejoice for long, and the signal disappeared again.

Huang Si: "???? ”

When you die, this ring can still eat the robot and spit it out and eat it again.

However, it seems that there should be some pattern?

Huang Si waited patiently for another two minutes.

The signal reappeared.

Huang Si hurriedly manipulated the computer and asked the robot to stop.

Sure enough, after the robot stopped, the signal never disappeared again.

Now Huang Si's heart is itching, and he really wants to go to the ring to see what happened.

The next day, Huang Si made two more little robots and made them fly to the edge of the ring.

It is impossible to see in the dark space, but fortunately, you can use the original robot as a coordinate to move forward.

After a while, two new little robots cautiously approached the ring, and then Huang Si asked them to execute a new program:

Explores the ring, but does not emit information immediately, but stores it and waits for the command to do so.

These two little robots are equipped with storage devices, and even Huang Si equipped them with cameras and camera storage functions.

The two little robots are spider-shaped, have eight legs and can climb any surface with their feet, and they crawl towards the center of the ring under preset commands.

Before I reached the center of the ring, I climbed a little, and sure enough, the signal disappeared again.

Huang Si waited patiently. After a few minutes, the two little robots returned, and under the command of the computer, they sent the appearance information and video information stored during this time.

When the video message came back, Huang Si was stunned.

What is shown in the video is a turquoise blue sky as far as the eye can see.

There are even white clouds floating in the sky.

Because the little robot was filmed while crawling, the picture kept turning.

However, it may be because the angle of view is relatively narrow, and the camera has not been turned to the direction that may be on the ground. So Huang Si didn't know if there was ground in that place.

For the first time in a few years, a spark of hope ignited in Huang Si's heart.

"This ring, is it the exit from here? Or is it a spatial channel? Am I free? Can you go home? ”

He replayed the two videos.

Blue sky, white clouds, he hadn't seen it for a long time, that beautiful color, it was as beautiful as heaven.

Huang Si, whose mood has long been clear, can't help but cry at this moment. Years of hard work have finally seen a glimmer of possibility.

It is imperative to continue to find out what is going on on in the ring.

Huang Sixian instructed one of the small robots to continue exploring beyond the ring, and set up an automatic pathfinding return.

After a long time, Huang Si got two new videos.

First it was the sky, but this time the robot crawled in the other direction, and he saw the sun.

There is also a video that is slightly biased towards the ground, Huang Si sees the horizon, and then some green and yellow ground, which should be the scene where the vegetation growing on the ground is filmed from afar.

That is, the position of this ring over there, most likely, is high in the air, and very high.

After watching these two videos, he also wanted to command the little robot to shoot a third video facing the ground, but the robot didn't come back after waiting for a long time.

Huang Si speculated that most of them didn't grasp it firmly and fell from a high altitude.

After all, this robot was designed only for exploration, and the grip is not too strong.

Huang Si sat in front of the computer and thought that in order for him to be able to see the video in real time, it seemed necessary to develop a signal transmitter for wired transmission. Because of that ring, it seems that matter is allowed to pass through, but electromagnetic waves cannot pass through.

On March 27, Huang Si had two small robots fly towards the ring with a wired signal transmitter.

This signal transmitter is equivalent to a WIFI relay station, which can be connected to WIFI at both ends, but it is connected by a network cable in the middle.

As long as one end is hung through the ring and hung on the other side, the space on the other side of the ring can be connected.

On the other side is the surface of the ring that is fixed with clips in a dark space.

When the little robot arrives at the ring, it quickly sets up the signal transmitter and throws the other end into the world in the ring.

Along with the signal transmitter, there is also a small robot with its own 360-degree camera, and similarly, the small robot also has a fuse, and one end of the fuse is connected to the two robots on this side.

The strategy was quite successful, the network cable was connected, and after some debugging, the computer finally received the real-time video signal on the other side of the ring.

The little robot's camera squeaks and rotates, taking in an unobstructed view of itself from all angles, up, down, left, and right.

The world over there slowly unfolds in the video.

The sky is very blue and beautiful, and the ground has what looks like woods, with interspersed yellow or grayish white, which may be withered plants, or mud and rocks.

It is initially estimated that the ring is about 5,000 meters above the ground.

The camera deflected towards the ring itself, and the true face of the ring unfolded in front of Huang Si.

It was a gray ring, seemingly made of stone, and the stone ring extended a little towards the middle, replaced by a deep layer of black.

It seems that the place where the black is located is the portal.

But what surprised Huang Si was that no matter how the robot moved, it couldn't see what platform the ring was mounted on, or what point of focus.

"Could it be that the ring is floating in the air? It's weird......"

It seems that there is a need for further exploration, and the first step is to develop a stronger wireless signaling device.

Huang Si's idea is to let the little robot carry a parachute and fall, but if you want to communicate normally at a distance of more than 5,000 meters, the WIFI annunciator he is using now is absolutely not possible.

Several new R&D directions were put on the agenda, but when everything was just beginning, Huang Si witnessed a terrible scene.

On the afternoon of March 30.

Huang Sizheng was wearing an apron and frying dumplings in an oil pot. This is a common noodle dish in Hubei Province, which does not require any special seasonings, just pulling the dough into thin wires and frying it widely. As a childhood food, this thing is quite delicious.

Suddenly, he had a faint sense that something was happening outside.

Like a hurricane whistling in your ears?

Something seems to be happening in the dark space again!

Huang Si hurriedly turned off the heat, put down the colander, came to the computer, and looked at the monitoring on the screen.

The signals belonging to the little robot, the signal transmitter, and the little robot in the other world are all gone!

Huang Si walked to the gate, opened the door, and his spirit spread, enveloping the distance of more than ten meters around him.

"Wind?" Huang Si was a little puzzled, "No, it's not wind, it's something very similar to wind." ”

The formless and insubstantial energy traveled through the dark space like the wind, and that energy even directly penetrated Huang Si's spiritual force field!

At first, Huang Si just felt that the wind was very strong, but after the wind became stronger and stronger, the wind actually impacted his spiritual field and "blew it away".

Huang Si's consciousness had a very peculiar feeling in the wind, and the spiritual field that was blown away did not completely lose control, but continued to move forward with the wind for a distance before it completely dissipated.

In other words, as if traveling with the wind, the mental field can spread farther in the wind, although the induction becomes extremely blurred.

Huang Si stood at the gate, his consciousness exploring into the darkness, he could feel the wind passing through his consciousness, and the process caused some pain in his consciousness.

But Huang Si held back.

The wind gave him a wonderful feeling, and he seemed to learn something from it.

However, before ten minutes, Huang Si "shrunk" his consciousness back.

Without him, mainly because of the pain.

This was the first time Huang Si felt that his "consciousness" was in pain, and as soon as he completely withdrew his consciousness into the room and was free from the wind, the injuries he received in the wind began to attack.

Huang Si covered his head, only to feel that his head was like being smashed by a hammer.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Huang Si couldn't help but roll around on the sofa a few times.

His soul seemed to be injured, and this knowledge about the condition of his soul emerged in Huang Si's consciousness.

Speaking of which, the creation book had stuffed a lot of knowledge into his consciousness, and it still existed after two regressions, and this knowledge was probably related to the soul, so even if it was a physical regression, it would not disappear.

As for how the soul relates to knowledge and memory, Huang Si also doesn't understand.

But there was an almost innate instinct in his consciousness that told him that he needed to rest and recuperate.

All Huang Si could do was lay on the sofa with his head covered and panting.

His soul is now very strong, not only can he move things, but his spirit can become a field of its own, enveloping the surroundings.

But this wind-like energy can directly harm his soul.

It's scary.
