Chapter 750: The Matrix

Kane finally met Oliver, Moody, and more than that.

"Yo, it's almost there. ”

Here Kane met with the eight members of Investigator Group A, the Operational Command Command, and the crew, as well as Explorers from the civilized world whom he had never met before, but whose attire confirmed to be from the civilized world.

Myra people also have, that is, the gatekeeper family, they have obvious differences from humans in appearance, the body is generally tall and strong, both men and women, the height is more than 2 meters, the appearance is rough, it is no longer angular, but hideous, even if there is no knowledge of human body, you can also find that the bones of Myra people and human bones have obvious differences.

Another obvious difference is the skin, the skin of the Myra people is almost invisible hair, and has a dewy luster, but it is not smooth, on the contrary, it is covered with large and small dots and micro-synapses, astringent hands, like shark skin.

Although he had seen the photos of the Myra people through the mission briefing when he was on the big ship, which was very different from what he saw now, Kane was still very sure that the kind of Myra people in front of him could be regarded as adult Mylars.

There is no doubt that they are hybrids, which is why they have been able to thrive for generations in a ghost place like Shino Island.

Kane speculated that they were mostly like hybrid deep divers, with a mutation period when they reached adulthood, and their bodies underwent a major metamorphosis from the inside out. As for whether the adult is tens or hundreds of years old, it is not easy to say, because he has not seen even a single underage Myra, and perceiving the bone age, or life characteristics, of these adult Myras, he is sure that every one here is not young, and there are thousands of years old.

There are more than a thousand Myra people, but there is not a single minor, which is undoubtedly abnormal.

However, Kane is not interested in caring about these things for the time being, he is analyzing the large device in front of him, looking for a way to free Oliver and the others.

In fact, what appeared in front of Kane's eyes was a giant fungus, the proportion of the mushroom umbrella and the main stem was no different from that of the common shiitake mushroom, and there was no magic light that shone brightly, and if the characteristic of enormity was not considered, then its only special feature was that it produced a large number of spider-like mycelium.

These hyphae spread over a huge umbrella-covered area, with slender stems and mung bean-sized tentacles like enoki mushrooms, very long, white as snow, and as static as snakes.

When Kane moves towards the main stem of the umbrella and enters the area covered by the umbrella, the nearby mycelium will avoid it, but like a group of snakes spitting letters, they raise their thin stem tentacles and make a gesture that will entangle themselves at any time.

Kane is not afraid at all, he has asked the stickman to try, and the result is just as he speculated, the strange artificially cultivated plant in front of him, according to the scientific explanation, is an AI with supercomputing physical properties, and its main function is a world simulator (similar to the matrix in The Matrix).

This special plant, which Kane named 'Fungus World', is not a weapon of war itself, although it mostly has a series of supporting facilities, including a self-defense system.

It's just that Kane relied on technology to force himself to dress up as a 'soulless', while the stickman was a real soulless, so he didn't trigger the defense mechanism along the way.

As for Oliver, they were lured by the 'heartless' buff state like sleepwalking, and now they are almost wrapped in mycelium into cocoons.

The earlier it comes, the tighter the mycelium is wrapped, and the key point of hyphae wrapping is the coverage of those touches to the nerve nodes of the trunk.

This small detail Kane noticed early on, not only the main nerve bundle at the back of the head, but also the nerves of the body in the bacterial world.

According to his analysis, the higher the coverage, the higher the degree of control over the individual.

A new question arises, why?

Obtain individual memory information and weave a virtual world with a higher degree of realism?

Perhaps.

But Kane is a person who is biased towards conspiracy theorists, he thinks that this reason is not the main purpose of the existence of the fungus world, because it does not match this sinister place, he always feels that with all the weirdness shown by Sino Island, there should be a more 'lofty' goal, if it is just for the completion of the virtual world, there are so many people in this world, more than 3 million people are missing every year, and the extraordinary technology embodied in the fungus world is not a matter at all to illegally get some people to participate in the project, where is the need to make this kind of battle?

The so-called hustle and bustle is all for the benefit, what is the benefit of the forces or individuals represented by the fungus world to engage in this project, Kane feels that it will be of great help to uncover the truth of the series of events if he can figure this issue out.

Of course, the top priority now is to save people, and the mystery can be solved slowly, or even if it is not solved? He is now a rich man with a mine at home, and he does not need to search for mysterious clues from the outside in a short time, and the seeds of nightmares are enough for him to play.

It's just that it's not easy to save this person.

According to his observations, all the people who are connected by the fungus world are in a rather strange half-soul state.

Even if he was well-informed, it was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he had come to a conclusion based on empirical speculation.

From a scientific point of view, these people are in a state of hypothermia-like cryo-dormancy, and their life characteristics are maintained, but they are reduced to a state of extremely slow operation.

Based on the energy consumption of this state, Kane estimates that it will not be a big problem to maintain it for several years without eating, drinking, or dying. Of course, it's hard to say whether not exercising for such a long time will lead to muscle atrophy or something. After all, his perspective is on the characteristics of life and the consumption of maintenance.

These people have stable life characteristics while their brains are very problematic. Judging by the technology of this era in this world, it is a vegetative person who is proper.

But under the confirmation of Kane's transcendent perception, there is a big difference in detail with a vegetative person. Specifically, their souls seem to have undergone a special transition, the soul is in the shell, and the digital projection of the soul has been uploaded to the fungus world, and the center of gravity of consciousness is there.

To put it more bluntly, they are dreaming, but the dream is not created by their own brain, their own brain is only responsible for providing personal information, and the fungus world is the provider of dream information, and their consciousness enters that dream, if they can't return, or rudely disconnect, then they are forever half-soul vegetative and will not wake up.

In addition, there is also a class matrix property, that is, the experience of dreams, which affects reality.

Speaking of which, Kane found an interesting point.

He sensed the physical condition of these dreamers, and found that they were basically not bad, and from a certain point of view, the fungus world could be said to be very protective of their bodies.

So the question is, is the virtual world created by the fungus world a sanatorium-type world for people to live a happy and healthy life?

There is a certain possibility, but Kane thinks the probability is not too high. On the contrary, the possibility that the world of bacteria is an extremely dangerous world is very high for him.

The world is very dangerous, and the consciousness of the dreamer is easy to be in distress, and the distress will have a feedback on the body, but the body is in good condition. What does this mean?

Kane felt that this meant that the fungus world was protecting the dreamers, and this protection was more like the protection of the exploiter against the exploited, in order to create more value for the exploited.

To test his judgment, Kane took a more extensive closer look. found that as he expected, there were few ordinary people here.

Ordinary people here do not refer to mortals, but ordinary or not from the perspective of occupation, such as crew members, cooks and so on, even if they are ordinary people, while special forces are not ordinary.

'The fungus world seems to have collected a dry consciousness dominated by transcendentals, helping it to carry out some kind of exploration. ’

And once he had this conjecture, Kane naturally connected with the star unit of the island of Sinoe, the Mailadi Palace.

He thinks that this may be a magic version of an alternative way to open a combination lock. The fungus world is like that stethoscope, once the password is entered correctly, there will be a different lock key snapping sound, just try it one by one, and the lock will eventually be opened.

This can be regarded as a guess of his 'benefit', and what makes him even more interested in the operation mechanism of the fungus world, because according to the current situation, if he wants to save Oliver and them, he will probably have to go to the fungus world.

Walking all the way to the main stem, without encountering any danger, Kane held a bone wand with the tip against the skin of the main stem.

The Bone Wand was crafted from collected bone materials after the Deep Diver's first Night Raid. Most of the coincidental elements are because a bone with similar characteristics of Buddha relics has been found.

One of the main characteristics of the wand is the efficient fidelity of energy transmission, Kane uses this medium as a buffer layer, mainly to prevent mental blows, such as a powerful flood of information, there is a great possibility of destroying his self-consciousness in a wave.

The fungus world has a protective layer of force, like a separate local area network, and Kane cannot remotely invade it. Kane's current operation is tantamount to physical intrusion, and then accessed through a terminal under the command of this local area network.

This kind of access is more about probing for high-level information, such as what software platform is used, what algorithm, etc., rather than opening a specific file or folder.

Soon, Kane got the answer he wanted. In fact, his purpose is also macroscopic and simple, first, to confirm whether the fungus world system is not the same as the old dominators. Second, whether he can understand the operating mechanism and how much he can understand it.

The answer is that it is not the old ruler, and can understand fifty or sixty percent.

The popular stars of the iQiyi universe are naturally the rulers of the old days, but there are also other supporting roles, such as the ancient gods, and the ancient race that created Shogoth.

The ancient race has been torn apart from the families of the old rulers for many years, and similar wars between non-old branches and old branches are the main theme of the iQiyi universe. The interaction between human beings and the old branch is the degree of the eighteenth-tier stars under the Hollywood system. It's just that this eighteenth-tier star is the narrative perspective of the current story, similar to 'The Biography of Wang Qinian, a Little Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War', so the real magnificent waves have become the background.

Well, another mystery solved. Sino Island is really not a brother wall under the hegemony of the old branch, and there is also a tear with the forces of the non-old branch.

Kane thinks this is very reasonable, this is worthy of the pattern of a place like Sinoe Island, a place on the edge of the world, where dragons and snakes are mixed, mud and sand, and he thinks that he can come up and show his hands if he is enough, and human beings play the role of wealth similar to caged pheasants and hares, right?

Of course, pheasants can also have their own demands here, and the cockfight wins, and a few handfuls of good rice grains or something are still available.

Kane thinks he's done exploring, and the next step is to play hackers and hack.

He waited for a short time, and the flame bird returned, and when it landed on his arm, it turned into a cloud of red light and disappeared.

After a few moments, he learned more about the area.

The Flame Bird was sent by him to find the way, and since he found out that it was a primitive village after passing through the dense forest, he sent the Flame Bird to find the way to see if there was any possibility of driving the boat and cart over.

Yes, it was hidden, and it even had to go through a rock tunnel, and when it was excavated, it was apparently not considered to allow the boat to be a vehicle that was significantly longer and wider than the average vehicle.

So even though Kane was able to use the flames to scorch the rocks to a crisp or even melt, it would still take a lot of time and effort to drive the boat over, but Kane thought it was all worth it.

The car was able to provide him with good physical protection, not to mention that it also carried some equipment that was difficult to carry.

Stickman, a low-level puppet who can only walk zombie steps, is not even qualified to serve as a coolie, and it is equally difficult to carry it by himself, after all, a considerable part of his current strength level is supported by pendants. In the case of this body itself, the various indices were not satisfactory in his opinion, and he needed to be careful, and he naturally knew what level of situation he was facing now.

It can be said that if it weren't for the dividends of yesterday's battle with the Deep Divers, that is, the soul power harvested by the soul catchers, and the determination of the technical roots of this fungus world, not to mention Cthulhu, not even the old branch, he would not have risked rescuing Oliver.

He now has four major supports, the first is to have confidence in his willpower, the body is not good, but the soul is not bad, the main thing is to have a qualitative advantage. Secondly, he was confident in the technology he had mastered, especially after roughly exploring the root path of the fungus world. Thirdly, he has newly harvested external soul power to use, and finally the Nightmare Seed can also be a kind of power.

As the saying goes, the stone of his mountain can attack jade, he didn't want to fight the nightmare seed single-handedly from the beginning, even if there is no fungus world, he will build a dream world himself, after all, he is in charge of his territory, and it is impossible to let Cthulhu take the initiative so casually and so easily, and build a stage on the basis of his memory information.

If you regard the power released by the Nightmare Seed as a category, a strand, a bundle, then it can be guided, and it doesn't matter if the guide doesn't move, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll be the mountain, and I can be replaced by a third party, such as the information power that represents the fungus world.

And to carry out this complex confrontation, first of all, the volume of the battlefield, Kane does not feel that his brain is suitable for the battlefield, he wants to use the power of magic to open up the brain outside the brain, so as to support the three-way war.

Secondly, there is the problem of an adversarial mode.

To put it simply, the fungus world and the nightmare seed are all team modes, and if he wants to fight against them, he has to do the same.

Here, the main advantage of the team lies in the framework and depth, with depth, he can better exert himself, and will not completely lose the overall situation because of a failure, and with the framework, it is convenient to add rules and guide external forces to intervene.

And to implement the team model, the best choice is also the brain.

Therefore, the boat and the car are very important.

After his modification, this boat car has its own operating table function. This is also one of the reasons why he drove a boat to rescue Oliver and them this time, if necessary, he can do surgery on the spot, or remove the control chip or something.

As a result, it is now used to open up the extracerebral brain.

This wave of operations sounds mysterious, but in fact it is nothing, and it is a bit cruel to be true.

A stickman with a relatively intact brain was used as the physical carrier of the brain outside the brain, and after a bloody operation, his skull was opened, a bunch of gold needles were inserted, and a peripheral force field was created, from time to time there were small lightning bolts, flowing between the exposed part of the gold needle and the reflection plate on the periphery of the force field.

This is the external characteristic of Kane's brain, and it is more advantageous for him to choose this place as a battlefield.

After that, it bridges with the fungus world. This operation is not too difficult, at least on the surface, it is nothing more than catching a certain number of idle hyphae and binding them to a certain extent, while the front end is exposed to the stickman who has been transformed into an extracerebral brain, and then it is ignored.

According to Kane's speculation, there is a quasi-program system in the fungus world, as long as the conditions are met, he will connect to the target himself, and then the facts have proved that this is indeed the case, the mycelium is directly wrapped around the outer body of the brain, and the first to attack the simulated brain shell, the inner layer is a magic instrument that strengthens the brainwave reflector, the mycelium obviously has no visual organs, and its only way to explore is the mental power touch, and when the standard target appears, it will be entangled, and there is no concept of dare or dare.

In this way, Kane entered the world of bacteria with the help of the 'meat machine' of the brain, and he took precautions, lying in the boat, the wind could not blow, the rain could not show, and there were 10 stickmen outside the boat and car ready to burn themselves at any time, and the intruders who dared to offend died together, compared with Oliver, this situation was obviously not a little better.

The better ones are still in the spiritual world. As soon as Kane entered the outside of his brain, he created a small world, which he called the root of the World Tree, and then succeeded without any suspense. This is the benefit of the team model, as for whether it will be broken and reduced to an individual who has been divided and exterminated, it will only be known after the battle.

Soon after, the flood of information representing the world of bacteria hits, and the concrete manifestation is to create a virtual world, just like a scene in a dream.

Kane had no fear and let it devour.

The completion of devouring also means that the world of bacteria is open to him, and he has the opportunity to find the consciousness of Oliver and others in it.

Kane himself is now in a state of multitasking, with one part of his consciousness entering the world of bacteria and launching an adventure, and the other part sitting as a chess player.

For example, to control the flow of spiritual power input from the ontology to the brain outside the brain, the foreign soul power available to him is also within the control range, as long as the release is increased, the fungus world can be 'choked', and he can even control the spiritual power unit time flow rate of the fungus world into the brain outside the brain, but this is a killer feature, and if you use it too early, the fungus world is likely to give up the game and not play with him.

The Nightmare Seed is also in alternate form.

The seed of nightmares left by Cthulhu is triggered to open, as long as you sleep, you will dream, as long as you dream, it is a nightmare. The more tired and sleepy they are, the more dominant the nightmare becomes, so the recipient can delay without sleeping, but the final winner will still be Cthulhu, which drags on for a long time and has a high interest.

And now, as soon as Kane turns on the 'sleep' state, the nightmare will begin, and then he will transfer all the information into the brain through the transfer of consciousness, so that the nightmare will meet with the fungus dream there to see who is better.

He reckoned that the nightmare would be sharper, and that it would be possible to give birth to a 'inner world' state that would irritate or hurt all targets, including him.

He doesn't care about himself, anyway, the seed of the nightmare has been planted, and there is no need to worry too much about whose fault it is to lead to such a result, and completing every battle as well as possible is what he needs to care about.

And the other people who are pulled into this contest are all martyrs, and in the face of the devastation of nightmares, if they want to maintain their existence, they have to fight, and then their basic purpose is achieved.

The dream world created by the fungus world is enough to affect the real world, the scale is larger than Kane expected, and the degree of realism is also higher than expected, if it is not for his special state, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish it from reality.

In front of him was a forest, and a muddy road stretched ahead of him.

It was nearly evening, and the sky was dim, and I could barely see some buildings at the end of the view.

Kane snapped his fingers, and a flash of fire lit up between his fingers, the light distorting the space around him, though it was only as big as a lighter flame.

He nodded with satisfaction, the hard work of the brain outside the brain was not in vain, he is indeed in team mode now. To put it more easily, he carries the seed of the world with him, and if he wants to, he can sow and grow. Of course, that would also mean a team battle with the fungus world.

The soul state does not have a bonus to items such as magic charms, but in a way, Kane is stronger now. Because Kevin's body is no longer a constraint and a drag.

He was now a more pure spellcaster, and as soon as the thought moved, he levitated and floated along the road towards the location of the building in the distance.

After walking for a while, I found that the appearance has changed to a certain extent, the original dirt road has been replaced by a stone road, and the large and small stone flakes are organically combined with the soil, which is not very smooth, but it is much easier to walk.

Sections of wooden fences can be seen on the side of the road from time to time, and the structure is simple, but Kane can still find some information in the details. For example, the civilization simulated by the fungus world at least already has equipment such as sawing machines, otherwise it is impossible to use more regular-shaped strips and pillars for road protection fences.

In addition to the fence, there are also street lamps, the poles are wooden, and the lamps are metal framed and oil lamps with glass surfaces. The work is very rough, and the glass is not clear enough, not only has a yellow-green color, but also bubbles.

These details also reflect the technological level of the virtual civilization of the Fungus World, which is about the level of the Origin World in the early 19th century. The first industrial revolution is in the ascendant, and many inexplicable phenomena, including some scientific and technological achievements, are classified as the embodiment of occultism, which can be said to be one of the classic background environments of the Rockwell horror.

Kane had some anticipation because of this, and he wanted to know what kind of scene the fungus world was planning to use to 'entertain'://./11_11766/
