451. Virtual reality
"I just tracked the jump signal tampered with by the Metal Ancestral Dragon, and I found that it ended up pointing to a dark star field. There are almost no luminous objects in that place..."
Li Nuo concealed the process of teleporting the snow-winged cat out of the inner starry sky, without revealing specific details.
He mentions:
After a brief observation of the situation in the Dark Star Field, he preliminarily determined that it was the secret scientific research base of the Metal Creation Group, and there were many space stations with scientific research functions.
Regarding the synthetic biology experiments that are being carried out in the space station, Li Nuo brushed them aside.
What Li Nuo didn't expect was that the core of the "Command" plane paid special attention to the "synthetic biology experiment" he mentioned.
The "Order" asked Li Nuo many detailed questions.
For example, which critters were selected by the Metal Creation Group as test subjects.
Another example is what class, order, family, genus, and species these small animals belong to.
As a non-professional, Li Nuo was confused about these questions, after all, as he said, he was not a professional.
In order to better answer the question of "Order", Li Nuo simply invoked the magic illusion he had arranged in the small animal warehouse.
This magical illusion is the image of a snowwing cat, designed to confuse synth researchers in the warehouse.
Li Nuo throws a psychic spell at the illusion to gain a magical vision, and then shares the magical vision with the "Command".
The specific operation method is not complicated, just aim at the game interface in your mind and throw out the "Spiritual Indoctrination".
In this way, the game interface, which originally only had text information, has an additional flat video window.
Through this window, the core of the "Command" plane can observe the scene inside the warehouse for themselves.
Li Nuo let go of the permission to rotate the magical vision, and let the "order" adjust the angle of vision by himself.
Thanks to the peculiarities of the plane's core, the Command is very, very fast to observe.
The video screen on the game interface is like a slideshow that plays at 100 times the speed of the slide, and the camera angle is continuously switched.
"Order" carefully looked at all the critters, even the stitches left by the synth experimenters on the critters.
Such a swift observation process lasted about 10 minutes.
The video screen stops flickering, and the "Order" returns control of the illusion.
A line of text appears on the interface.
"I now know who the Dimensional Core behind the Metal Creation Group is."
This sentence was said by the "order", and it seemed a little beginningless and endless, but Li Nuo understood what the other party meant in his heart.
In a nutshell:
Dragons, whether dragons, dragons, or dragonmen, their creators are the cores of the plane.
It is precisely because of the core of the "dragon" plane that exerts an influence on the objective world that the creature "dragon" appears in the universe we are in now.
However, after the dragon is created, its owner is not necessarily the core of the "dragon" plane.
Just like the super-saint wizard in the inner starry sky, if a creature pinched out of the core of the "wizard" plane has the ability to get rid of the control of the "wizard" and find the core of another plane as a backer, then this creature is equivalent to leaving the "biological father", that is, the core of the "wizard" plane, and throwing itself into the arms of the "adoptive father".
The Angel of the Book once said to Lenovo:
According to the self-rescue process pre-set by the Supreme Star Palace, after the inner starry sky is destroyed, the core of the "dragon" plane will play the role of rebuilder, taking the lead in entering the inner starry sky and trying to repair all the infrastructure that supports the operation of the star palace.
Ancestral Dragons such as the White Ancestral Dragon, the Metal Ancestral Dragon, and so on are the vanguard of the core of the "Dragon" plane.
They entered the inner starry sky as promised, repairing the infrastructure, but halfway through, disagreements arose within the dragon.
The Metal Ancestor Dragon Pit harmed his own people, causing his past efforts to be in vain.
This shows that the Metal Ancestral Dragon has already found its new backer, betrayed the core of the "Dragon" plane, and threw itself into the arms of the core of another plane.
So, who is the core of this plane?
Answer one, one of the plane's cores behind the many dark gods.
Answer two, other.
Judging by the tone of the core typing of the "Command" plane, it should be judged to be the latter.
Li Nuo typed and asked:
"Which plane's core is behind the Metal Ancestral Dragon?"
The core of the "Command" plane seems to be thinking.
After waiting for nearly half a minute, Li Nuo saw a response.
"It's supposed to be the core of the 'virtual' plane."
"Virtual..."
Li Nuo blinked, digging into the memories in his mind.
He was sure that he had never heard of the nucleus of the plane from the two angels.
The Core of the "Command" plane introduces:
"The core of the 'virtual' plane is home to a group of beings who consider themselves 'virtual beings'. These creatures will be active in movies, anime, games, etc.
"For you, and for all other physical creatures, movies, anime, games, and so on, only you can read them, not let them read you.
"But in the eyes of the 'virtual creatures', the kind of reading you read is the medium through which they understand your world."
"Hmm... I seem to understand a little, can you give an example? Li Nuo asked thoughtfully.
"Order" typed a few more lines:
"It's like the book in your dean's office. Let's say you open a book, read the text, and read a story about a little girl picking strawberries. You'll think it's just a simple little story. But what I had to tell you is that 'Little Girl' and 'Strawberry' are virtual creatures. They will be awakened by your attention as you read them, take a quick glance at the scene around you, and then fall asleep again when your attention leaves them. ”
"I see."
Li Nuo Typing says:
In other words, all imaginary creatures and non-living things could be virtual creatures created by the nucleus of the "virtual" plane, right? These virtual creatures are equivalent to the nucleus of the "virtual" plane to observe the objective world. Is that so? ”
"That's basically true, but I have to correct it."
"Order" typed out a line of text that made Li Nuo slightly frightened:
"You may be underestimating the power of the core of the 'virtual' plane.
"You just said that the virtual creatures we saw may have been created by the core of the 'virtual' plane. The word 'may' was biased and should be replaced by 'certainly'. ”
"Definitely?!" Li Nuo's heart jumped:
"Are you saying that all the virtual creatures we know are created by the nucleus of the 'virtual' plane? Haven't we been under its observation all along? ”
After thinking about it, Li Nuo found a problem, and then asked:
"Wait, I think it's a bit of a problem. You see, the core of the "wizard" plane must have appeared behind the core of the "virtual" plane. The core of the "wizard" plane has created many magical creatures that only appear on paper.
"According to what you just said, aren't these magical creatures created by the core of the 'wizard' plane all the work of the core of the 'virtual' plane? Could it be that the core of the wizarding plane is ignorant of this?
"In other words, if the nuclei of the 'virtual' plane could intervene in the work of the nuclei of other planes to create virtual creatures, wouldn't it have unified the nuclei of all planes long ago?"
Li Nuo patted his chest and continued:
"Look at me, the plane core behind me can't be 'virtual'. But I can still conjure up virtual creatures and write or draw them. How can this be explained? ”
Li Nuo's questions seem to have been expected by the "order".
"Order" typed and explained unhurriedly:
"Yes, you're right. However, the ability of the "virtual" plane to control any virtual creature is based on the premise that the core of the "virtual" plane is still alive. ”
Li Norton was stunned, and suddenly reacted:
"You're saying that the core of the 'virtual' plane is dead?"
"yes, yes." The "Command" said:
"When the core of a plane dies, some of its authority will be dispersed into innumerable parts to be shared by all living beings. Shared objects also include the cores of the plane that appeared later than the "virtual", such as the core of the "wizard" plane you mentioned. Of course, that includes you and me. The game I created in Star Ocean also used to a large extent the abilities shared with me by the cores of the "virtual" plane. ”
For the first time, Li Nuo knew what would happen when the Plane Nucleus died.
It turns out that when the nucleus of a plane dies, some of its authority becomes a "common tool" for others to use.
It's hard to imagine what kind of authority the many planes behind the dark gods would share with all living beings if they died...
Li Nuo twisted his eyebrows in thought.
Guessing what was in his mind, Commander added:
"There are two types of authority: core authority and generic authority.
"The universal authority of the nucleus of the 'virtual' plane can give living beings the desire to build virtual creatures.
"Its core authority is to drive living beings to transform reality, to make things in reality close to virtual creatures, to build bodies for virtual creatures in reality, and finally to project virtual creatures into the real world.
"When the core of the plane dies, it will only share the general authority, not the core authority.
"In the 'virtual' death, people will only have the desire to build virtual creatures, and they will not have the extreme desire to project virtual creatures into reality."
Li Nuo shook his head, looked at the first line of words typed out by the core of the "Command" plane, and asked:
"Since the core of the 'virtual' plane is dead, why do you say that it is the core of the plane behind the Metal Creation Group and the Metal Ancestral Dragon? Could it be that a dead plane core can also be manipulated and laid out behind the scenes? ”
The "Order" was silent for a few seconds before typing:
"The core of the plane can be resurrected from the dead. This process is very, very slow, and may take tens of thousands of years. The core of the "virtual" plane behind the Metal Creation Group should have only been resurrected for a short time... But..."
"But what?" Li Nuo asked.
The "Order" reads:
"But since the establishment of the Supreme Star Palace, whether it is the core of the new plane or the core of the resurrected plane, it will appear in the inner starry sky, not the outer starry sky. If a resurrected plane core appeared directly in the alien sky, there was only one possibility. ”
Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the answer appeared in his heart, and he took over the conversation and said:
This means that the core of the "virtual" plane has not been reborn. The core of the plane hiding behind the metal progenitor dragon and the metal creation group is a disguise of Uiwai Yongsang, right? ”
"Yes, that's what I meant."
The "Order" reads:
"I don't know how 'virtual' died. But I speculate that it died at the hands of Outer Ei. It took a long time for the Universe to merge with the core authority of the "virtual". They are now driving metal creation groups to project virtual creatures into the real world. Synthetic human and synthetic animal synthesis technology products are the preliminary finished products. ”
A lot of things make sense.
Why did the Metal Progenitor Dragon want to occupy the inner starry sky?
It's not because there's a holy fire in the inner starry sky.
Mastering the sacred flame is equivalent to mastering the core of other planes and the key points of extraordinary existence, and it is equivalent to mastering the important resources needed for virtual creatures to project reality.
Although I don't know how Uegai Eiji found the opportunity to brainwash the metal progenitor dragon, judging from the current situation, only the conclusion given by the "order" is the most realistic.
Dig deeper with this conclusion to understand why the Metal Creation Syndicate needs the player's body.
It is estimated that it is also eyeing the particularity of the player's immortality and resurrection, and wants to master the loophole of the "Order" by cracking the player's secret, and then invade the "Order" to obtain a large number of experimental products that can be recycled.
The Command is in the midst of the storm vortex, and it's right in the middle.
If you want Li Nuo to say, the other party might as well wash his hands in the golden basin and close the door to thank the guests.
Shut down the "real" world in which the players are located, seal the gates, and make the players disappear from the alien sky.
Wait for this wave of limelight to pass, and then continue to use the players to collect soul energy.
That's the safest way to do it.
Of course, it would be best for "Order" to help Li Nuo push the Metal Creation Group flat and complete his main mission to the alien sky before adopting a contraction strategy.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Nuo planned to take this opportunity to encourage the "Order" to deal with the metal creation group with him.
But before Li Nuo could organize the wording, he saw that the core of the "order" plane took the initiative to write:
"I think it's necessary to warn the Metal Creation Group, and at the same time test the existence behind the Metal Creation Group to verify whether the other party's identity is in the guise of Uiwai Yongsu."
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and typed:
"So what are you going to do, do you need my help?"
The nucleus of the "Command" plane says:
"I've found that the extraordinary props you have set up in the animal warehouse have extremely powerful stealth abilities. This may help me to provide first-hand information on the scene. If you could, I would like you to..."
"Order" typed dozens of lines on the game interface, telling his plan.
Li Nuo read and pondered.
After five minutes of deliberation, Li Nuo decided to follow the "order".
"No problem, your plan is very feasible. I'm going to make a Star Destroyer-level magic bomb right now. ”
