Chapter 473 Technical Value
In Gao Wen's view, the technology of Eternal Midnight has always been very valuable, but it just needs some transformation.
At present, some of the Eternal Sleeper technology has been used in the Magic Network communication network established in the territory, but Gao Wen wants far more than that.
To him, the achievements of the Eternal Sleeper in neurosurgery and brain immersion technology are equally fascinating.
Daniel is the most senior technician of Eternal Sleeper that Gao Wen can find. He has been a culprit of Eternal Sleeper for more than ten years and knows about related technologies. What is more valuable is that he was born as a wizard. This "pre-profession" has given him excellent research skills: Although Gao Wen often says that traditional wizards are pedantic and backward, that refers to their group itself, as long as they can become advanced spell casters, they cannot be bad in the fields of mathematics, logic and simple intelligence.
Sure enough, Daniel showed pride: "My Lord, there has been a lot of progress in this area. I referred to the drawings of the 'head crown' device you gave me before, and designed a connection device that can be used by ordinary people while retaining its function as much as possible, including a connector that simulates nerve cords and a brain wave amplification array. In theory, it can achieve the same effect as that 'head crown..."
However, when the old mage paused for a moment, his tone was a little apology and nervous: "It's just that it's still very imperfect at the moment. The biggest problem is that it's large in size and is completely impossible to carry. Secondly, it consumes a lot of energy..."
Gao Wen listened quietly, and felt a little relieved: As he expected, it was correct to hand over this task to Daniel.
The "head crown device" mentioned by the old mage is nothing else, it is the magic prop that Patty used when she fell asleep. It is a complex and expensive magic weapon of the Eternal Sleeper. It is currently seen by Gao Wen. The only device that allows ordinary people to connect to the spiritual network. Some of the runes in the Magic Net communicator are designed with reference to the head crown.
But Patty's crown also has great flaws: just like all traditional magic props in this era, it is too complex, precise and expensive, and it is completely impossible to use for mass production.
So Gao Wen handed over the information about the head crown to Daniel, and asked the old mage to redesign a set of "spiritual network connectors" based on his own artificial nerve cable and amplification magic array, combined with the runes in the head crown.
Now he has finally waited for the results, although it is still an imperfect one.
"Give me your current research data and blueprint," Gao Wen nodded slightly to the old master, "I will continue to improve it."
The old mage nodded quickly and reproduced the information he remembered in this virtual space through shorthand magic. Looking at the old mage's actions, some thoughts slowly emerged in Gao Wen's mind:
The timing seems to be almost done...
Daniel has been under observation and test for a long time, and the security of this hidden virtual space has also been verified. Perhaps... he can consider telling the trusted people around him about what is happening here.
If Daniel's connection device works, he can connect the technicians in the territory to this virtual space. Using the simulated environment here, many research projects in the territory can speed up...
By letting Daniel and Carmier and others contact, the territorial researchers' analysis of the Sleeper technology will be easier and more efficient.
Gao Wen had never told the people around him about being able to connect to the spiritual network. The main problem he was considering was security. He did not want the Eternal Sleepers to know that there was a loophole in their spiritual network, nor did he want them to know that they had sneaked into their network. However, after Daniel successfully became a bishop of the Eternal Sleepers, Gao Wen finally built a primitive IP system and security system in the spiritual network. Using these things, he had confirmed that at least there were no network nodes for Eternal Sleepers in the main city of Cecil and the surrounding areas - so as long as the people who access the network are loyal and reliable, there is no need to worry about the leak of news.
While thinking, Daniel had completed the reproduction of the information, and the old master respectfully pushed the drawings full of symbols and words to Gao Wen: "My Lord, this is all the information."
"Very good," Gao Wen took the information and said casually, "You should know the power I established in Ansu."
The old master lowered his head: "Yes, your loyal servant has heard of this."
"I'm considering letting you get in touch with my subordinates at Ansu," Gao Wen said while paying attention to Daniel's expression change, "Do you have any objections?"
Daniel was stunned for a moment, then showed an excited and joyful look: "This is my great honor!"
Obviously, the old master regarded this as a proof that his loyalty was finally recognized by Gao Wen.
Gao Wen could guess what the old man was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud, but just seemed to remind the other party casually: "My identity in Ansu is Gowen Cecil, the founding duke of the country, not an extraterritorial wanderer. You must remember this firmly."
Daniel quickly reacted and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, follow your will..."
"Very good," Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction, then looked up and down at the old mage in front of him, "How effective are the patterns I gave you?"
Speaking of this, Daniel immediately showed a humble and grateful look: "They have incredible power!"
Then he explained the power of those magical patterns and their effects on himself, especially the various benefits of his mental stability: "... As the nervous system slowly healed, I felt that my mind was much clearer than before, and my thinking ability seemed to return to my peak in my youth... I was able to complete the task you assigned so quickly and design a new brain wave connection plan because of this..."
Gao Wen said, "Are there any adverse reactions?"
"Not-although I did encounter the 'blind pleasure' state you mentioned, it seems that as long as you maintain a resistance, you can break free. This is also the most incredible thing about it: its intoxication effect is stronger than any kind of spiritual illusion I know, but it can also keep the person in contact with it to the greatest extent. I think that as long as you are not a person who actively wants to give up your mind, you should not be completely controlled by it..."
Speaking of this, Daniel paused for a moment and said cautiously: "But I didn't let my apprentice try it... I'm not very relieved about their will."
Gao Wen glanced at the old master lightly: "You should be worried that once they are exposed to that relaxed and happy state, they will immediately abandon the painful reality without hesitation."
Daniel's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance: "In the past few years... my spirit has often lost control. I have always been completely awake in the spiritual network. In the real world outside, I am almost turning into a twisted monster. It is normal for my apprentice to be afraid of it."
The old mage in front of him is a person with a mental disorder, moodiness, and tyranny in the real world. This is a fact that Gao Wen knew after searching Daniel's shallow memory.
Due to excessive indulgence in the evil magic of the Eternal Sleeper, coupled with his long-term setbacks on the path of magic and the sequelae of neurosurgery, the spirit of this old wizard has been losing control over the past decade, and in the end it has deteriorated to a level that can only be maintained in the spiritual network. He appears humble and submissive in front of Gao Wen and is quick to think. That is entirely because the spiritual network has completed his spirit. Once he leaves this network, he is no better than a madman.
But Daniel's mental state is not helpless.
Gao Wen once taught him the knowledge and advanced mathematical materials related to Magic Network. In this process, Gao Wen discovered that the positive emotions generated when learning new knowledge and making progress in research projects greatly alleviated Daniel's mental out-of-control phenomenon. After confirming this change, he made an attempt:
He rubbed the pattern on the tentacles of Siren Tyr in the form of Sea Demon, and gave the pattern to Daniel.
He wanted to see how Daniel's mental state would change after being exposed to those strange patterns.
Tyr's sea demon form once left a very deep impression on Gao Wen. The huge body, countless tentacles that grew windingly, and the strange and charming form subverted Gao Wen's inherent impression of the "savory fish spirit who is too lazy to die and has a mental illness". The special tentacles that Tyr possessed are the most memorable things for Gao Wen.
The indescribable patterns and extremely strong mental infectious ability directly rewrite the attributes of mortal minds. It can be said that if the patterns were not too positive and funny, Gao Wen would definitely regard Tyr's sea demon tentacle as one of the characteristics of the evil god as soon as possible.
Even though Tyre's pattern effect was so funny that he didn't look like an evil god at all, Gao Wen couldn't help but associate that thing with the gods, because he heard Tyre mention that the original sirens did not have that kind of sea demon form, and their sea demon form imitated the "big squid" in the deep sea.
Although he didn't understand why the salted fish spirit imitated the evil god of the deep sea was to imitate himself into the harmonious god of the deep sea, after all, it was something that might be related to the gods. Gao Wen had to treat it with caution. He wanted to test whether those patterns had any effect after they were removed from the body, and wanted to test how effective they were, but he did not find a suitable test target in the territory. It was not until a unit test was arranged for Daniel that he thought of the old mage's mental state with a flash of inspiration.
There is no more suitable tester than Daniel - he is strong and doesn't have to worry too much about an accident; he is a sleeper and has a high mental resistance; more importantly, he is mentally abnormal, and is only at a straight line from the disabled when he is out of the spiritual network, and he needs treatment...
However, after all, it was a dual-effect spy he had finally cultivated. Gao Wen was also worried that the old mage would lose control after coming into contact with the patterns that were suspected to be products of evil gods, so he gave many warnings in advance. He explained the dangers of those patterns and possible abnormal reactions, and told Daniel not to contact the patterns for more than half an hour each time, and once strange and funny thoughts appear in his heart (such as wanting to dig a big squid), he must be terminated immediately...
Now it seems that this old mage did indeed strictly follow his instructions.
Gao Wen listened carefully to Daniel's report on the changes that happened to him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief-
After being exposed to those crazy patterns, the old mage seemed to be much more energetic.
"You go back and continue to test those patterns. When conditions are ripe, you can get your apprentice in contact, but be careful. In addition, it is best not to let you and people outside of your apprentice discover those patterns to prevent unnecessary trouble," Gao Wen stood up, and his figure gradually faded in the virtual space. "I will contact you again."
Daniel also stood up and bent down deeply: "Yes, my Lord."
The connection of the spiritual network was disconnected, and after a brief illumination and weightlessness illusion, the real world scene reappeared in Gao Wen's vision.
He saw Hetty sitting opposite the desk, but he was already lying on the table and was sleeping heavily, making a slight and even breathing sound.
Gao Wen did not wake up his eldest granddaughter who was sleeping peacefully - he knew that Hetty was really tired recently and she needed a rest.
