Verse 3: The Barrier, the Spiritual World (Part II)

————————————————————————————————————————————————

After the white light passed, Xiao Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and found that the clothes on his body had become his favorite windbreaker, the beard that had grown over time in the phantom limb field had also disappeared, the national flag was tied to his forehead, and his black hair was stabbed, and the whole person felt refreshed, without the physical and mental exhaustion caused by not being able to sleep alone for a month before.

{This is the image that your subconscious mind is most pleased with yourself, and in my spiritual world, I can read your thoughts and memories and present them in an almost physical form.} }

Xiao Zhou thought in his heart, and got the answer without asking, and couldn't help but burst out with a sentence of "what the hell are you", and then found that he could suddenly speak normally.

{I'm not a ghost, I'm one of the key research projects under DARPA Disruptive Military Technology [2], as for what it is, I can't define it due to the lack of relevant data.} }

"DARPA, 3D array?"

{No, the 3D array is "DARRAY" and "DARPA" refers to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. }

"What? You are...... Are you a key military project for the Americans?! ”

At this time, the M-shaped gate separating existence from nothingness was completely opened, and the space that appeared inside was full of mechanical elements at a glance, looking like the functional composition of a high-tech base, and like the nerve veins made of various metals in the body of a large robot. At first, Xiao Zhou thought that everything was just an illusion caused by prostration, but now that the other party's words involve national interests, even if it is a dream, he must find out.

Stepping into the intricate mechanical base of the internal pathways, the strange gravitational force immediately diffuses from the brain to the whole body, and under its gentle traction, Xiaozhou stepped on the bright metal structure like nerve electricity from time to time, and walked towards the core of the base step by step, as if returning to his own home, and he could find the direction with his eyes closed.

With the blue-blue glow of the footsteps stretching forward regularly, the ears resounded with a beautiful melody, it is a combination of music that everyone will be fascinated by after listening to it, organized and rhythmic, regardless of pitch, volume or time, all just right, but I don't know where it came from.

In such an atmosphere, Xiaozhou's mood became unprecedentedly relaxed, walking, suddenly recovering his nature, and then turning on the off-topic mode of a 180-degree turn in his thinking mode: "Hey, you said you can read my memory, then I will test you, my life...... Who is your favorite person? ”

{Although you care a lot about your master, your mother, and your four brothers, from the analysis of your brain thoughts and language at the moment, what you want to ask is - is the right age opposite sex who has the opportunity to become a future partner?} }

Age-appropriate opposite sex who has a chance to become a future partner? This statement is really strange enough, but since the other party is well aware of his interpersonal relationship, this problem should not be difficult for it.

{There aren't many women you have an intimate relationship with, and the data shows that the person you "like" the most is...... Look at the big screen. }

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhou was confused by the words "have an intimate relationship" and "please watch the big screen", thinking that he was participating in a TV blind date show, and what happened next made him unable to believe his eyes: a holographic interactive screen was instantly generated in the air in front of him, but this is not the point, the key is that what appears above is Xiao Zhou's first-person perspective memory, in which the heroine is all his senior sister - Luna.

"What are you kidding? I'm not a masochist, how could I like that tigress like an active volcano?! Someone obviously refuses to accept this fact, but the memory of the fake does not deceive, and the data analysis of the spiritual world master cannot be wrong.

{Of the total memory in your brain, the proportion of episodic memory and process memory is relatively high, and the proportion of meaning memory is relatively low, indicating that you are a person who attaches great importance to past experiences and is good at learning and comprehending direct knowledge. Among episodic memories and process memories, the memories related to Luna account for the highest proportion of all age-appropriate heterossexes, and most of these memories are long-term memories, explicit memories, and declarative memories, indicating that you have deep feelings for her and have reached the level of near-attachment......}

"What bullshit attachment? This only shows that I have known her for longer than other women, and I don't know who I like myself? ”

{It's not that you don't know, it's just that what you think you know is self-deception.} }

The hologram turned the pages like a book, and from the first time I met Luna in the family area next to the E-Lianhua Brigade station, her heroic image was deeply engraved in my heart, although I was only ten years old at the time, in Luna's words, I was a "little ghost who didn't even grow hair......

In the days that followed, although he and his senior sister got together less and left more, and every time they met, they were either scolded by her or beaten by her, but it is undeniable that he has always enjoyed such an alternative mode of getting along.

{Judging from Luna's attitude and behavior in memory, her feelings for you have long surpassed those of ordinary teammates.} So I think she's the right age opposite sex who has the best chance of being your future partner. }

The judgment of the master of the world in the spirit was completed, and time and images also came to the flight from Paris to Chengdu together, and after it was reminded of this, Xiaozhou found out that when Luna thought that he gave him the necklace as a confession, even though he was surprised, he was not displeased, and when he clarified the misunderstanding, his slightly lost expression was not just worried that he could not pay back......

"Luna is my senior sister, and it is impossible for me to be with her."

{From the beginning of your question, you wanted me to say that the other person whose name was not also your senior sister?} The reason why you hide your feelings for Luna is just because she is the beloved woman of your senior brother Xue Feng, that's all. }

"Enough, don't say it again!"

Xiao Zhou didn't expect that his casual question would involve so many things, and even some thoughts that should not exist in the past were unreservedly excavated, so that he had to stop the topic in time: "You let me in, you won't just be a love mentor below, then you are really idle?" ”

{I don't understand your human love, but I've let you in so that we can get to know each other, because I'm curious to know what kind of person was the first person to set foot in my spiritual world.} }

You know me, but I don't know what you are. Xiao Zhou literally held back his words in his heart like a curse, but it did not hinder the other party's perception of thoughts transmitted in real time.

{Don't be in a hurry, you'll be there in no time.} At that time, I will do my best to answer your questions. }

After a twist and turn all the way up and down, Xiaozhou took the escalator to the center of the mechanical base, but after the ladder door opened again, there was a bottomless abyss in front of him, and the surrounding metal walls higher than the mountain were 108,000 miles away from him, but he went straight into the same dazed and incredibly dark sky above his head, feeling like entering a rectangular body closed on all sides, and there were seeping black holes above and below.

There was no passage outside the ladder, and there was no place to settle down in the abyss, just when Xiao Zhou hesitated when he saw this, the voice of the master of the spiritual world came from his head again:

{Don't be afraid, just step out of this door, and there will be space to lead you to the other side of my place.} }

It is said that Xiao Zhou should have been afraid of such a crazy act that is similar to jumping off a cliff, but the fact is that he actually walked out without blinking, and at the same time, a disc-shaped alien space perpendicular to the ground appeared behind him, which continued to extend like a chain, and instantly opened a road to the other side.

With each step on this colorless path, the body instantly moves forward a large distance, so that the seemingly long distance does not take as much time as imagined to complete it. At this moment, Xiao Zhou didn't have the heart to delve into the specific nature of the vision under his feet, and just wanted to reach the location of the master of the spiritual world as soon as possible.

It was a square mechanical platform, the area could accommodate hundreds of people to stand on but the whole was suspended in the air, one of which bordered the space wall, and in the center of the platform was a statue of the goddess of victory, which was made of silver throughout, and looked like some kind of high-gloss metal from a distance.

Niki, the goddess of victory, is a petite but toned woman in Greek mythology, with a pair of wings on her back, as if she was wandering down from the sky, and her clothes fluttered. Born into the Titans, she was the slave god of Zeus and Athena, and helped the Olympus gods win the battle of the Titans.

Xiaozhou boarded the platform and paced in front of the only eye-catching statue in front of this place to stop and look up: the same goddess of victory, this statue is obviously different from the Samothrace Naki statue found in Samothrace in the northern Aegean Sea that he saw in the Louvre Museum in Paris, although the demeanor and clothing are similar, but the goddess of victory in front of him has a head and arms, the facial features are finely depicted, and he also holds a dignified and graceful lile in his palm, which feels a little more elegant, and a little less cruel to participate in and lead the war to victory.

Could it be that the pure melody that surrounds him when he comes comes comes from this ancient Greek seven-stringed harp?

No, it won't. It's just a lifeless statue, how could it be possible to make such a charming and beautiful sound......

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but shake his head, at this time, the originally motionless statue suddenly lowered his head and opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze was just opposite Xiao Zhou's line of sight, which immediately frightened him so much that he took a few steps back, stepped on his left foot and his right foot, and almost fell to the ground on his back.

At the same time, the Goddess of Victory statue opened its wings on its back, shaped like an angel spreading its wings, and instantly turned into four pairs of silver shining wings, during which the incandescent light suddenly burst out, shining so that Xiaozhou subconsciously quickly closed his eyes and covered it with his hand, and when his vision was restored, the Goddess of Victory, who jumped down from the high platform with her wings, had already landed leisurely in front of her, tilting her head and looking at herself with interest with her liquid metal eyes, feeling like she was looking at a cute little kitten, with a smile on her face......

"You are...... The master of this spiritual world? ”

"Other than that, do you think there's anything else possible?"

The other party asked himself rhetorically, and it was indeed the same voice as before, but this time it was spoken from his mouth by himself, not directly in his head. Xiao Zhou never thought that he would talk to a statue, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Goddess of Victory understood her concerns at the moment and took the initiative to explain Xiao Zhou's concerns: "What you see now is just an initial image that the creator has instilled in me, and in the spiritual world, my existence is only a core consciousness, and there can be countless manifestations. ”

Perhaps to confirm her claim, the various parts of the Goddess of Victory's body began to circulate like water, and the original metal image gradually faded away, and the new shape slowly emerged...... The familiar PLA strategic support force is in a training uniform, with heroic and smooth short hair, although the other party's face has not yet taken shape, but Xiaozhou already knows who it is going to become.

Soon, Luna, who looked and figured the same as in the real world, appeared in front of her in her most impressive military uniform, and even her voice and intonation were copied without a trace of flaws: "Do you feel at ease in this way?" ”

"Peace of mind! You become that old monster I shiver when I look at my legs, and I don't want people to communicate with you properly? ”

"Really?"

Xiao Zhou subconsciously saw the reaction of the cat, which made the goddess of victory a little unexpected: "The emotional world of human beings is really difficult to understand...... Okay then, I'll change it. ”

Before the words fell, the appearance of the Goddess of Victory changed again, unlike last time, this time it did not transition from liquid metal to human body, but directly adjusted the area of its previous appearance, and soon perfectly transformed into another person - Xiao Zhou has been longing for goodbye but has not yet met again at the Huagui Military Science and Technology Academy.

Ning Xue was wearing the elegant casual clothes she wore when she first met her in Ukraine, and the surrounding scenery was also transformed into a warm and humid Dnieper River under the sun's screen due to the consciousness control of the goddess of victory. Standing on a small private sightseeing boat reproduced from the original, Xiao Zhou seems to have returned to the Dnieper Boat that once left countless good memories to him, except that there are no brothers by his side and no other tourists around.

"Now, can we talk for a while?"

At this point, even if everything we are experiencing is just a dream, it is undoubtedly a dream that people are willing to indulge in. Xiao Zhou sat in the familiar stern position, stretching out his hand to caress the cool river, and he could not find the right words to describe the magic of the spiritual world: "Tell me everything you know, if you want." ”

"I am part of the key research project under the disruptive military technology of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, internally codenamed 'WM-Victoire', which belongs to a new generation of war soldiers that can seamlessly connect with humans at the spiritual level, but at present, this project is in a semi-completed state, due to the limitations of biological joint technology, my body has not yet been fully equipped, and now I am just an artificial intelligence program without a shell."

"Victoria...... Goddess of Victory...... War Corps ......"

Xiao Zhou seemed to have something flashing in his mind, but he couldn't catch it in time.

"In addition, when DARPA designed and created me, it pursued too much the stability and ideological operation function of human-machine mental docking, and ignored the insufficient development and utilization of the human brain and the high burden that must be borne for this.

"You're really lonely......

"Hey, wait." Xiao Zhou, who had just been alone in the phantom limb realm for 29 days, felt empathy, and suddenly reacted to something, and began to worry about his next fate, "Then I now inexplicably enter your spiritual world, isn't it very likely that I will die?!" ”

"No, you're not in the same situation as they are. A normal human has 14 billion to 15 billion brain cells, 100 trillion synapses connecting nerve cells, and 1000TB of data storage, but the vast majority of them have less than 10% of brain development and utilization, that is, more than ninety percent of brain cells are always dormant and do not participate in the daily functional activities of the brain.

"To connect with me mentally, we must mobilize more than 3 billion brain cells to work at the same time, in order to support the continuous generation of a large amount of data cache, in order to further implement the idea transmission and manipulation, the synaptic occupancy of nerve cells is as high as 99.8%, so it is almost impossible for people with less than 25% brain development to bear without damage. The lower the degree of development, the greater the mortality rate in the process. ”

"You mean that my brain is more than a quarter of the way out?"

"The data shows that your original brain development level was 12%, but due to the forcible induction of mental power in the phantom limb field, and most of the body's nerve functions are blocked, your brain has to activate some long-term dormant cells and control the relevant disabling areas in the form of brain waves, so the number of active brain cells has doubled in a short period of time to 24% now."

"Damn, this is not a safety line, my brain will still be damaged after a long time?"

"You don't have to worry about this, according to my calculations, the number of brain cells in your brain is much more than that of ordinary people, the total amount is about 16.8 billion, so you have a unique advantage in invention and creation, and your logical operation ability is also more outstanding. My spiritual docking function is in a long-term open state, and I can perceive all beings who have the qualifications to enter the world of my spirit, even if they are geographically far away, they can also receive resonant messages through spiritual gravity for the first time. ”

Spirit...... Gravitation?

Xiao Zhou finally grasped the key words in his words, a thunder struck in his head, and his past memories instantly returned: "Are you that humanoid mecha?!" ”

"More than two months ago, you experienced many strange events in Chernobyl, I have known all of them after reading your memory, and I understand why you have such associations at this moment, but I want to say that I can't analyze the origin of that humanoid mecha through the existing information, and in terms of also relying on spiritual gravity to connect with humans beyond time and space, it may have an unimaginable close connection with me, but I am not it, at least not now, because I don't have an advanced body that is above contemporary technology.

"If you want to find a reasonable explanation for all the doubts in your mind, I think the only thing you can do is to find my true nature and unravel all the mysteries."

"Where's your body, Arlington County, Virginia, USA?"

"It seems that you know the location of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency headquarters very well, but my location is not in the United States, nor is it on Earth...... At this moment, I am 20.5 light-years away from you in a straight line, and my main body, the planet Gillis 581c in the constellation Libra. ”

……

The first time Xiao Zhou heard about the concept of "cube star", although he was puzzled, but he did not continue to ask, the key problem at the moment is that they are too far away from each other, and with the current technology of human beings, they cannot rely on conventional interstellar navigation to reach the alien planet where the goddess of victory is located. The only way is to find and pass through the United States to the stargate of Gillis 581c, however, this is impossible to do at this stage......

"You don't need to worry too much about this, since you have already decided in your heart that I am destined to become the humanoid mecha with which you are deeply bounded, then you should also believe that sooner or later, we will finally meet in reality at some point in this time and space."

The intimate words of the goddess of victory dispelled Xiaozhou's worries in silence: "Yes, it is fate...... Since it is a predestined thing, we can wait for that day to come.

"By the way, Hundred Changing Star Monarch, after talking for so long, I still don't know what your name is?"

"Name ......" Goddess of Victory searched her database, and finally there was no relevant display, "My model is WMV, is it a name?" ”

"Of course not, it's just a common number of the same type! Why don't I give you a name? ”

"Okay, what do you want to call me?"

"Then you have to tell me first, are you a man or a woman?"

"I don't exist genderlessly, but my data is tightly transmitted, and in terms of thinking patterns, I'm closer to a human woman."

"I see." Xiaozhou's first reaction was the Roman name of the goddess of victory, "Victoria", but then he felt that it was too Westernized, since it had a destined bond with him, it naturally needed a friendly Chinese name: "At first, I thought you were a ghost, and this spiritual world is so weird, I just call you 'Wei Mei'!" ”

"...... Elf? ”

"Yes, it's as bizarre and mysterious as it is, and it's full of charm."

"What a nice name." The Goddess of Victory seemed pleased with this, and entered it into her database instantly, "I didn't expect it...... The person who gave me my name turned out to be a Chinese who was on the defensive side of DARPA and the entire United States. ”

[2] Disruptive military technology: The concept of disruptive technology was first proposed by Professor Clay Christensen of Harvard Business School in the United States in his 1995 book Innovator's Dilemma. This technique often emphasizes "replacement" of the current mainstream technology in an unexpected way, with the goal of making the adversary unguardable. If disruptive technology is applied to the military field, it is called "disruptive military technology". In 2013, the U.S. Department of Defense defined disruptive military technology as "technology or cluster of technologies that solve problems in a way that rapidly upsets the balance of military power between adversaries" in its "Next Generation Technology" program.
