The abnormal fluctuations in the mental network gave Gao Wen a hint of vigilance.

Although this network of minds was created by one of the three dark sects, according to general standards, it is "evil" and it is indeed infected with blood and taboos during the construction process, but there is a fact that it cannot Deny: Gao Wen still needs it.

Many of Cecil's research projects have been affected by it.

Of course, Gao Wen has promoted the harmlessness and self-research of the spiritual network from a long time ago, and now he has achieved certain results.

On the one hand, experts such as Carmel have verified his initial conjecture through the combination of immersion capsules and magic nets, that the operation of the spiritual network does not necessarily require the victim of the "brain servant", which should essentially be a dependency The "cloud net" supported by a large number of nodes, the so-called "brain servant" is likely to be the product of another plan of the eternal dormant; on the other hand, Cecil's self-produced immersion capsule and the constantly improving magic net are also In the rapid development, sooner or later, when Cecil's own number of nodes is sufficient, Gao Wen will be able to form his own spiritual network and create a space of origin that does not need to suffocate traffic from the hands of the eternal.

But these take time.

The immersion tank is the cutting-edge technology of the empire. At present, its manufacturing cost and mass production difficulty are still very high. The immersion tank currently in use is still limited to several research departments in the empire capital, and the number is only a few hundred sets. According to Carmel ’s It is estimated that at least 2,000 to 3,000 "brain nodes" must be connected to the network at the same time in order to form a relatively stable mental network and a "mind-like world" similar to the city of the dreamer's dreamland. This goal is not easy to achieve of.

It is said that the biochemical technology found in the lair of all things will help break through the bottleneck in artificial nerve cords, but ... can the spiritual network really be maintained until then?

Perhaps because of intuition, Gao Wen always felt that the vision that appeared on the mind network this time was extraordinary.

"My lord," Daniel said without looking at Gao Wen for a long time, and couldn't help but say a little nervous, "Did you think of anything?"

Gawain glanced at Daniel.

Yeah, I ca n’t say anything about the Mind Network for the time being. Once the network crashes, how can Daniel contact me?

This old mage was a secret hand that he managed to cultivate. In his many arrangements for the Perpetual and the Tifeng Empire, it was of great significance. Since the war of unification in the South, the original 25th Production and Construction Brigade has been dissolved and changed. Became a real production and construction brigade, but the 25th office of the Office of Government Affairs is still operating. This office is attached to the name of the Military Intelligence Agency. At present, the main task is to analyze the various information sent back by Daniel, Regarding the various plans of the reporter, no matter from which point of view, the core of this team is Daniel, and this line must not go wrong.

"Anyway, the Mind Network can't disappear now," Gao Wen looked at Daniel seriously. "I need it."

Daniel immediately ordered: "Yes, then I will make every effort to ensure its survival."

After so long, the cybersecurity supervisor of the everlasting people finally decided to pay close attention to the security of the network ...

"If I guess that's right, the popes and archbishops of the Sleepers will soon ask you to discuss it," Gao Wen nodded, "you are the security director, although I guess the network problem this time is a deeper cause, most likely It has nothing to do with external invasion, but your strength in the field of psychic network technology has been recognized by the senior leaders of the mission. They may ask you to solve the problem. You will do your best at that time, but remember to pass the information to me in time.

"The other thing is that you pay more attention to those believers who have experienced abnormalities after connecting to the Internet for a long time. Although the inspection concluded that they are all normal, I always feel that things are not so simple. They may have been seriously affected in the deep consciousness. The impact, however, has not erupted for the time being.

"Be careful when you do this, don't show enthusiasm beyond your identity, and be suspicious."

"Please rest assured, my lord," Daniel smiled confidently, a confident smile only found in the Military Intelligence Agency's twenty-fifth office without a crowned king. "I'm very skilled in this."

...

Dream city, the fringe.

A translucent, fuzzy barrier hangs over the deciduous street. From the outside, this area on the border of the city of dreams is still peaceful and peaceful. It is only blocked by a layer of "suspended access" and its interior is in progress. Normal maintenance and refactoring.

But inside the barrier, the distorted landscape is very different from the normal neighborhoods within easy reach.

The clear and clear sky shrouded a layer of turbid and chaotic light and shadow. It floated over the city as if the wrong water surface and clouds were mixed together. The ground was covered with high and low hexagonal prism structures. The large surface of the prisms faded color. Showing a deadly gray or disturbing dark black, the original magnificent palaces are stacked at the end of the block, and the balcony, corridor, and steps are all twisted and intertwined, forming a structure like a mass, and a lot of shadows are superb The ghostly figure hobbled in this chaotic neighborhood, like a ghost.

A quiet woman in a long white inlaid gold skirt is standing on the edge of this chaotic block, silently watching the wrongly combined geometry and distorted colors on the street. The air around is dull and windless, but her hair is in The air fluttered gently, as if the wind from another space was blowing on her forehead, as if she was standing here just as a ghost, and the body was still in place.

Under her feet, a ring of noise was shaking and trembling, as if the surrounding chaotic space was trying to erode the woman's position, but was blocked by more powerful forces.

An eternal sleeper wearing a heavy black robe with an owl mask on his face came over and made a dull voice under the mask: "Archbishop Geerfen, the eroded area has stabilized, but the area boundary is outside the dream city. Spreading about a tenth of the way there formed a very weird street that could not be approached for sampling. "

Selena Gor nodded slightly and looked into the distance.

She can see that weird street, which is located at the end of this chaotic block. It has a weird architectural style. Some silhouettes come and go on the street. Outside the street is an endless gray and white void. That void boundary came and went, as if the street led to an invisible but real world.

Selena knows where the "street" comes from. It's from Sandbox World One.

Now, no one knows what is happening in the sandbox world, no one knows what is brewing in that closed and running world, and even ... no one knows how long the time inside that world has passed, it is one millennium? Or ten thousand years? Or longer ...

Archbishops only know one thing

"Sandbox No. 1 is still overflowing," Selina Gelfen said softly. "These overflowing data are polluting the normal network ... this area can no longer be repaired and can only be completely reset."

"Yes, the Archbishop."

The eternal sleeper wearing an owl mask stepped back, preparing to perform a reset on the block, and another figure emerged from the air near Selena. It was a young man wearing a white robe, tall, black Hair, wearing Sven's monocle, looked quiet and with a touch of scroll.

"Archbishop Selena," the dark-haired male said, "the overflow block 2 has been reset."

"I'm about to perform a reset here too, Archbishop Yuri," Selena nodded. "It can't be repaired, it can only be this way."

"... IMHO, ma'am," the young archbishop known as Yuri (at least it looks like this on the Internet) bowed his head slightly, and although he held a comparable position in the Order, his qualifications seemed to be a little shallower for Lena, So there is also a touch of respect in the words, "Just resetting these blocks can only temporarily alleviate the problem. We should still find a way to stop the number one sandbox."

"I know, under the Pope's crown, but almost all the emergency stop methods have failed. Sandbox No. 1 is still running, and even gradually integrates all other sandbox worlds," Selina sighed slightly. " After raising the time iteration multiple to the limit, Sandbox No. 1 closed itself in a few minutes. Perhaps within a short few minutes, it gave birth to a 'thing' that was enough to fight us, and that thing ... don't want your history to end. "

Archbishop Yuri hesitated, and whispered, "... Archbishop Magnum proposed an emergency circuit-breaking plan, which has been submitted to the pope."

"I know, but the Pope will not agree with this plan. This plan is not fundamentally different from the sandbox cutting plan. It is of no use except to increase the victims of brain death," said Selina Gell, shaking her head. "And ... … It's not the worst time yet. "

"You mean ... 'hysteresis'?"

"Yes, the" hysteresis "has taken effect. Through reverse time iteration, the running speed of No. 1 sandbox has been reduced to the normal time flow rate. We are already at the same level as that thing. We still have time to continue testing. A safe and secure plan, "Selina said in a gentle tone, but with some unquestionable and rebuttal strength." Since Project No. 0 has been running, we have invested too much in it ... before the last step, the Pope Neither the Crown nor I will abandon it at will. "

A strange humming suddenly sounded from the air, interrupting the conversation between the two archbishops.

Selina looked up, and saw that all the buildings and grounds in the block were quickly stained with a layer of grid. Then the distorted buildings were deleted in pieces, and the alienated ground was quickly reorganized into a basic plane. The water surface and clouds of the sky were broken up into disordered light particles. After a few seconds, normal houses, streets, grounds, and vegetation began to quickly regenerate in this space.

The reset of the block is complete.

In a blink of an eye, the chaotic urban area became orderly again, and everything seemed to have remained unchanged. The fatal overflow data and network pollution were cleaned up.

The two archbishops, Selena and Yuri, stood on the edge of the neighbourhood that had been restored, and remained silent for a while.

"I'm afraid that there will be some short-term memories of some fellow countrymen," Archbishop Yuri sighed suddenly. "Relocation always comes at a price."

Selina frowned. "Hope this is the last time."

"Archbishop Selena, about the security officer I mentioned in the last meeting ... what do you think?"

"What about Daniel ..." Selina Geer thought for a moment, then nodded, "I have always been following him ... He is a very talented mage and scholar, and he has a lot of skills in the spiritual network and about the operation of the network He has original ideas ... unfortunately, his talent has been buried and almost wasted before our network was officially put into use. "

"The security systems he built, as well as network addressing, multiple databases, and other technologies have proven to be extremely useful," Archbishop Yuri nodded in agreement, and continued, "Some of these technologies were even used in Project Zero. , And several other archbishops believe that this person may be able to play a role in the crisis we are currently experiencing. "

"His current rank is bishop, but he just completed the promotion ..." Selena Gelfen thought, "but for talented people, we don't have to stick to these rules too much. Archbishop Yuri, Do you personally think that Daniel is reliable enough? "

"I think it's reliable," Yuri said without hesitation. "I investigated his situation. He joined the Order 20 years ago. He has a lot of qualifications. He has a clean and reliable external contact in the real world. A fellow scholar who is loyal to the Order and devotes himself to research. In fact, if he is not reliable, he cannot become the director of security. The importance of this position is you know Archbishop Selena. From my personal point of view, I think Daniel The bishop is very reliable, he is loyal to our cause, he is very capable, and he cares about the spiritual network. "

"Very good, then you can get in touch," Selena nodded, "but don't worry too much, observe a cycle, after all ... this involves Project No. 0, we must do a good job of promoting that Daniel to "The Archbishop."

"I know."
