A photograph is not developed on film, but is recorded as a bunch of numbers, so it is an image at best, can it be called a photo?

Leaving the darkroom, the photos are not produced by one hand and one foot, what kind of photographer is it called?

- Behind the nostalgia for "real watches", in fact, there are countless stories of technological nostalgia.

After all, this nostalgia is emotional, unreasonable, it flows with temperature, and people are hopelessly indulged in it, and it is valuable to cling to it.

Every generation is likely to be nostalgic, because nostalgia is an acknowledgment of the times they have experienced, an internalization of obsolete objects and the fashions of the times they embody, and an affirmation of the historical self.

When CDs first became popular, there was a lot of praise for tapes, especially vinyl, and that ambiguity and rubbing were all part of "real listening music...... And when CDs became the tears of the times, and digital music in various formats dominated the world, it was the turn of being nostalgic as "real listening music......

Maybe when something more advanced comes along in the future, it will become a part of nostalgia?

Alex also has this nostalgia, he was once the number one electronic technician on the Stoic, proficient in almost all electronic products, and he is also a master hacker at the age of twenty-four, and his interest is to hack into various websites and make amusements.

However, he is also very fond of things like alien conspiracy theories and urban supernatural legends.

Compared to those advanced and sci-fi technical concepts, neat and tidy, it is difficult to make Alex call. He did have an interest in being trapped in a small silver matchbox, but—

The classical mechanical beauty, the delicate gears and parts, but they were more able to hit his heart.

So he's looking forward to it now, what steampunk-style black technology will the other party come up with, and it seems that this time it still belongs to the particularly black kind, STEM...... What's going on? System?

Does the word STEM have any special meaning?

And what kind of system is the system? What system should a city consist of, the political system? Cultural systems? Population system?

Regardless of what Alex was thinking differently on his own and making up something in his brain, Mo Chen easily adjusted the huge machine facilities in front of him a few times, and replied casually:

"This can be regarded as the network system of Kit City that I prepared, but it is a spiritual network, which itself is actually a technology for human consciousness connection."

“…… What the? Alex, who was thinking about it and fully exerting his imagination, was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face froze slightly.

He understood what the other party wanted to show in his answer, so he was a little stunned, this time the updated technology is very impactful, although he has been looking forward to seeing more black technology......

But this time, isn't it a little too dark?

"It's a mental network system, you can understand it that way, but it may have to be divided into several layers, because some ......"

When Mo Chen said this, he paused slightly, and then he seemed to remember something important, and slapped his head.

"By the way, I almost forgot, I seem to need to wall the illusion of that world, lest you click on some unsafe websites......"

"......" Alex smiled with an embarrassed but polite smile on his face.

What does that mean? Why do you suddenly feel that you don't understand...... Oh, by the way, this is not a technical system that I am familiar with, and it is normal that it is impossible to fully understand it.

Di Di Di –

At this time, Mo Chen had already reached out and pressed a few buttons.

Looking at the various indicators on the STEM machine lit up, the order and color were all normal, and there was no fault prompt.

He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Alex and said seriously:

"I remember you had pretty good computer skills, didn't you? Then it should be regarded as a professional counterpart, and I will give you a manual next. ”

"Manual?"

"That's right, for you, as long as you understand some basic operation methods, it's actually similar to building a website, building a forum or something, you don't have psychological pressure."

Mo Chen described it as lightly as possible.

"It's just that you don't have to work hard to type code, and you can do a lot of things directly with the consciousness of administrator permissions, but you may be a little unaccustomed to ......"

He looked around again, and then added with a serious face: "And the environment here is not very good, you will probably spend most of your time here...... What do you think? Do you want to set it up? ”

Alex: "......"

How come you have a bad premonition, and you don't even have a negative option?

Alex nodded wordlessly, and finally agreed, after all, such an unscientific consciousness connection device as the STEM system really stimulated his technical soul.

He already had the urge to take the whole machine apart and study it now.

And after seeing Alex agree, Mo Chen nodded again with great satisfaction, and then said the most important information intentionally or unintentionally-

"Also, because of my influence, that world of consciousness is likely to be more ...... Well, there are some fluctuations from time to time, and it mainly depends on your state of mind. ”

"So try not to think about it, and don't think about the things that scare you, otherwise, you may find yourself always having nightmares coming true......"

"Literal nightmares come true, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will appear, after all, people can't control their subconscious...... I can only protect you from mortal danger and not die there......"

“……”

“……”

Alex was silent again, the smile on his face barely managed, but it was already covered with false cracks.

Why does it just sound like it's a pretty bad feeling, my back is starting to get cold, and shouldn't this kind of thing be said in the beginning?

He just likes urban supernatural legends, out of a kind of curiosity that everyone will have, but it doesn't mean that he wants to be one of those unlucky heroes...... Is it too late to regret it now?

Alex grimaced and looked around.

This is in the basement of the Grand Temple, where the vast and flat space is empty, and in the center there is a huge machine, cylindrical in shape, running from the ground to the black dome.

If you are familiar with the overall structure of the Great Temple, you will find that the top of the machine is connected to the altar of the temple above.

- It looks like it's set up as a control terminal.

Naturally, this machine here cannot be the prototype of the evil spirit world, after all, Mo Chen has only attacked the sea of human collective subconscious in that world at present, although he jumped out of the Internet, but he has not been able to enter reality for the time being.

Because he has no counterpart in the world over there, he can act as a physical medium to rely on.

If it weren't for the way of a virus to spread infection, inserting a special frequency band into the brainwaves of countless people, he might not even be able to invade the sea of the human collective subconscious of that world.

So the current machine is completely knocked out from scratch by Mo Chen's own hands.

As for the blueprints? Naturally, it was based on the information he had gathered, mainly from the subconscious minds and memory fragments of the minds of the members of the Möbius Organization who had been forced to connect to the Internet after being infected by his virus.

Although the brainwaves of countless humans in that world converge and share information through the seeds of nightmares, most of it is a meaningless mass of junk information...... Well, it can't be called spam.

But as long as it has nothing to do with him, no matter how cordial, moving, and unforgettable those memories are, in Mo Chen's eyes, they are just reality shows and TV series that repeat routines.

If you read too much, you naturally have no interest, and you don't want to click on it when you read the title.

And when he limited his search to the members of the Möbius organization, he was able to easily extract the relevant information he needed.

Of course, it is unlikely that a simple person can remember the full set of technical and design drawings about the STEM system, but many people have the impression that they have been in charge of related fields......

It's like a jigsaw puzzle, one person can put together a complete puzzle by remembering one or two, three or four pieces.

Regarding the current machine, Mo Chen has carefully inspected it, and there is no problem at all.

He may not fully understand the principle of the evil machine itself, but as long as he builds it directly according to the complete blueprint, down to the exact point of every circuit and screw, then there will be no problem.

It's like copying homework, although you don't know what formulas, theorems, and knowledge points are involved in the question, you can score points by copying the standard answers.

It's just that there are still some things that need to be changed, such as saying that the central core should not be maintained by the living brain of a human being, and this evil design definitely needs to be improved.

It's a pity that Mo Chen is not the development route of the science and technology side, so even if he has this idea, it is difficult to put it into practice, this kind of thing can not be achieved by brute force, the only thing he can do is to use the method he used before to replace part of the performance of the machine.

For example, by selecting subjects through the Nightmare Implant, and then letting themselves control everything as the central consciousness, there is no need to think about whose brain is being dug up as the most important part of the machine.

However, this is also temporary.

But it didn't matter, Ruvik might be a crazy genius, but Mo Chen didn't believe that the two geniuses still alive in the World of Shame - one of them was even the founder of the whale oil-powered industrial revolution - there was no way to just improve the machine.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if he maintains it now, he will open the door when he is free, and use a manifestation to go over there to place an order, and he doesn't need this to be here all the time pretending to be a system.

- Although it's not bad to say that you've been impersonating the system, the appearance on the Kit City side won't be canceled in the first place, and it won't run around, so since you'll always be sitting here, it's not too much of a problem to be the mastermind of the STEM system.

As for now, I'll let Alex, a technical talent, take care of this aspect first.

By the end of the evening, after logging in the consciousness of all the people in Kit City once and adjusting to a specific channel, the memory fragments of so many people will be enough to create a stable fusion dream.

"Although I don't have the power of dreams, I can use the 'Dream City in the Mirror', and with the dream enchantment spell of Hitomi's reversal, I can hide Kit City at the junction of reality and illusion...... It was just perfect! ”

Mo Chen left the underground space, returned to the temple, and walked out to look at the city he had built with his own hands, narrowing his eyes slightly.

A sense of accomplishment? Probably, anyway, it's like playing a game of business and construction, although the ideal country planned by yourself is not completely perfect, but it is on the right track in all aspects.

And it also satisfies his growing ...... "desire for control", so that he does not reflect that change in other things.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, it's night.

"The line up in front is so long, and how do I feel like I'm lining up to enter a demon cave......"

Glinton, who was waiting in line outside the Grand Temple to enter, whispered to his ex-wife in front of him with a bitter face.

There was a long line in front of us, and there were also long lines on the left and right, between the magnificent walkways, the tall columns, the light of the torches on both sides, and the watchful eyes of those evil machines......

Lined up and walked into the black, oppressive temple in front of them, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

Greenton felt pressured.

Serena ignored him completely, just kept using the corner of her eye to look around without a trace, collecting information and formulating various possible emergency escape routes.

In this case, talking to the fool behind you is a waste of time and a distraction.

……

……

At the same time, far away in Italy.

In a converted hotel in the mansion where the princess of Savoy lived, an impromptu emergency meeting in a sprawling room was nearing its end.

“…… To sum up, it's almost time to make a conclusion, what should we do about the reasons that make us all hurt this time? ”

“…… Our leader, Lord Sarbatre, is not here, so is it true that we should consider that proposal? ”

"I don't think it's a wise move, but we can't handle an incident that confirms that a disobedient god is involved...... Since this is something that Lord Sarbatret has decided a long time ago, I can only agree. ”

"I agree."

"I agree."

After a series of agreements, someone else spoke: "Then please ask Erica to inform the mortal who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

"We will continue to follow the clues of the disobedient God until we are finally able to determine His whereabouts...... However, it is said that other demon kings have also taken action, and the old marquis of Eastern Europe has already decided to leave. ”

"Yes, we may not be able to take the lead, and there is even a high chance that we will encounter resistance from other demon kings...... There is absolutely no way to succeed. ”

Some people sighed long, not optimistic about the possibility of success of the Oriental, who had only known his name by their alliance leader.
