Sword of Daybreaker

Frankly speaking, Gao Wen is not an expert in the field of technology-although he will actively participate in the discussion of certain technical issues, but this is more because of his open mind and uniqueness from another world. From the perspective, if he really talks about theories and formulas, he will not be able to compare to professionals like Rebecca and Jenny.

But precisely because of his open mind, sometimes he can find some problems from a perspective other than theoretical formulas. These problems are often overlooked by "local people" or even "local gods".

"The key reason why the gods are immune to the influence of the magic wave is the'information closed loop'. To put it bluntly, it is actually'I observe myself'," Gawain saw the shocked expressions on the faces of Jenny and Rebecca, slowly explaining his thoughts. , "If the Neue’s'unified field of mind' is also based on this point to achieve the effect of fighting the magic tide, then this thing will inevitably put the mortals in the protection field in the same state...

"Through the closed-loop method of information, the mortal’s “observer effect” can be separated from the real universe outside the protection field, or to explain it according to our existing terms, it is to use a powerful and chaotic “non-directional trend of thought”. Wrap the entire planet to block the information exchange between us and the "real universe" outside the barrier...

"So from this level, when the unified field of mind is activated, the mortal entity that has realized the closed-loop information is actually similar to a ‘god’ with the same closed-loop information..."

Rebecca has understood the thinking of the ancestors, and she slowly reacted from her astonishment, muttering to herself: "Let the entire mortal civilization stand in the universe in an almost god-like posture, so as to face the demonic tide... This idea is really...amazing."

"But won't this be a problem?" Jenny seemed a little worried, "Let the entire mortal group enter the'like god' state, really will not cause some kind of... yoke? Just like the spiritual seal and the seal we are facing now Belief in chains is also the result of thoughts..."

"This is the key-our thinking in this area is limited by ourselves. We are too nervous about gods and many things related to gods, so that we often subconsciously think about this issue from an intuitive perspective rather than a rational perspective. "Gao Wen didn't wait for Jenny to finish speaking," he said, "Why do the soul stamp and the shackles of faith appear? It is because of the unconditional worship of mortal groups and the long-term'collective fantasy' of a certain illusory goal, and it is because of blind awe and 'Self-imprisonment', after which gods are produced, rather than worship and shackles that arise because of gods.

"We must not mistake this order, nor ignore all the preconditions.

"Then make a judgment on this basis. A simple'closed-loop of information' will not create a spiritual seal and a bond of faith, because the closed-loop effect is the'non-directional trend of thought', which is the collective subconsciousness of a large number of mortals. The chaotic state of thought does not involve any explicit worship and awe at all, nor does it point to any unified'goal'—it does not even point to the mortal himself.

"So I just said that after the unity of mind field was activated, mortals were'recognized' as a god, rather than actually turning the mortal community into a certain god."

Speaking of this, Gawain couldn’t help but pause. His gaze swept across Jenny and Rebecca, and his tone became solemn: “We shouldn’t'talk about face changes'. Being too conservative in this regard is actually going from an extreme. Going to the other extreme, do you remember what we said when we first studied the divine power inverter array? As long as it is based on a clear mind and rational thinking, then even the power of the divine can be transformed into a'technical method' in the hands of mortals. '."

Gawain’s words awakened Jenny in an instant. She touched her cheek subconsciously, her eyes changed slightly: “It’s just a technical method...I almost went on a blind conservative path... You’re right, we shouldn’t talk. The look has changed. After all, even true gods can be described by theories and formulas!"

Gao Wen nodded slightly, his gaze returned to the drawing before him, and he said in a deep voice, "Now our biggest good news is that the'Unified Field of Mind' has a certain feasibility. It is no longer a completely unknown. The phantom."

"Yes, yes," Rebecca lit his head vigorously. "At the beginning, no one understood what the Neue people’s mental unity field was, or whether it would work for the Loren people, or even if they were useful. Can we build it, so even though we finalized the plan for the'Devil Tide Observation Device' during the previous meeting, everyone has always been imagining it, after all, we still have no ideas on'protection'..."

Jenny is not as optimistic as Rebecca. Although many problems have been solved, her expression is still serious and low. After a moment of contemplation, the chief rune with pale hair suddenly said: "But despite this, we There is still a long way to go before a truly usable "Unification Field of Mind" is built. Your Majesty, don't forget its scale."

Jenny's words were like a cold wind, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly solidified, even the expression on Rebecca's face stiffened.

Gao Wen didn't say anything, because he knew the problem existed just now, and knew that the situation was still not optimistic.

When they first got the blueprint of the "Unification Field of Mind", the technical experts were shocked by its astonishing scale, and after roughly calculating the construction cost and cycle of this thing, they felt a little desperate. The Unification Field of Mind is a field that covers the entire The behemoth of the planet, it contains countless link nodes and projection devices all over the world, as well as a huge energy system and distributed control hubs that match it.

Only in this way can it form a barrier sufficient to protect all mankind... But how long will it take for this thing to be made?

It took the Neues a full 1,400 years to build their unified field of mind—even if they took into account that when they started the project, the productivity was relatively backward and the construction period was too long. In terms of unimaginable large projects.

For the Loren Alliance, which may only have one and a half years of preparation time left, and the magic tide is gradually approaching its home planet, it is an impossible task to build a "mind unity field" from scratch, and when Jenny and Rui After Becca saw the architecture of neural networks and anti-divine barriers in the drawings of the Noyes, this problem seemed to be a little less desperate—fortunately, coincidence, and Cecil had already thought about it. The protective system has laid a certain foundation, at least the project does not need to "start from scratch" now.

But even so, the current scale of neural networks and anti-divine barriers is far from enough to support a protective barrier that can protect the world.

"I want to confirm one thing first," after a moment of contemplation, Gao Wen finally spoke slowly. "Starting from the basic part, as the'source' of the anti-divine barrier, how many nodes need to be linked in the neural network to support one Protect the global mental unity field?"

In the protection system of the Neumann, the network (neural network) formed by a large number of mortal minds is equivalent to a "generating source", which is responsible for generating powerful "non-directional thoughts", and the force field generation and projection device It is responsible for converting non-directional thoughts into a unified field of mind (the inverted state of the anti-divine barrier) and projecting it onto the planet. It does not need to connect all human minds to the network, nor does it allow humans to hide in the network. "Refuge" in China.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the node scale of the neural network can reach a certain threshold, it can produce a strong enough "non-directional trend of thought" to meet the demand.

Therefore, the scale of the "basic project" of neural networks does not necessarily need to spread all over the world, at least if the Cecil Empire has already laid a certain foundation for it, it is possible to meet the blueprint requirements.

"We have only performed rough calculations at present." Jenny has obviously made a lot of preparations in advance, and has also responded to Gao Wen's problems. "In principle, the more thinking nodes linked in the neural network, the more "non-fiction" The directional trend of thought has the stronger power, the more it can effectively cover the observer effect, but in fact, as long as the scale of the existing neural network is expanded by two to three times, the resulting'non-directional trend of thought' will be Enough to activate the barrier...Of course, continuing to expand the scale of the network on this basis can make the effect better, but it is not necessary."

The existing neural network needs to be expanded by two to three times...

"So, this is achievable." Gao Wen thought slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, this part can be achieved," Rebecca next to him nodded. "At present, the domestic neural network is developing rapidly, and its promotion in other countries is also very smooth. According to Jenny and I's estimation, maybe both In less than one and a half years, the number of neural network nodes in the entire alliance can reach three times the current size within one year. difficult."

"So the difficulty lies in the other part," Gawain said slowly, "Force field projection..."

"According to the blueprint of the Noi people, we need to cover the whole world of the projection devices of the unified field of mind to produce a complete protective effect," Jenny nodded slightly, "compared to the neural network, these projection devices are what we really can't get around. 'Tough battle'. At present, the coverage of the most powerful'anti-divine barrier generator' we have manufactured is only a few blocks in size, and due to the use of a large number of sophisticated technologies, its production and assembly cycle is very long, one and a half years ...Not to mention covering this planet, it is a problem to cover half of the southern border..."

"What if all the countries in the alliance go all out to produce barrier generators?" Rebecca thought for a while and looked at Jenny. "I remember that many ancient manufacturing stations have been restarted on the wizard side recently. Although the equipment is very old, The production efficiency is very high, and the production mode can be adjusted flexibly. Most modern industrial parts can be processed..."

"But there is only one silver empire in the alliance that has this kind of'coffin book'," Gao Wen shook his head, "At most, Typhon uses their'banknote ability', coupled with the deep sea technology of Shanghai Demon, but this is probably still difficult. Satisfying the gap. Now we are facing a star-level project, even if all the countries in the alliance have the same production capacity as Cecil, it may not be effective, not to mention the industrialization of most of the countries in the alliance has just started..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The magic wave came too early.

Many countries in the alliance are not prepared at all, even in this era. Except for the three major empires and the "leading countries" such as the sea monster and the giant dragon, most of the member states are still in magic workshops+ In the initial stage of the industry, where craftsmen are rubbing hands, such an alliance is suddenly facing a planetary project. This is no longer a problem with the wheels of the times coming in front of them—this is the wheels of the times having been crushed on the face.

And this is a "Warhammer-II" heavy tank.

"We need to brainstorm." After a moment of contemplation and silence, Gawain shook his head slightly. "We need more smart people to participate, including scholars from other countries. Now we have understood the blueprint of the Neue people. What are you talking about, then the next step is to figure out what to do. To contact the Silver Empire’s Astrology Association, Typhon’s Royal Wizards’ Association, Kraken’s Deep Sea Witches, and the Dragon... We need all parties now. There are opinions from all sides, and no one line of thought can be let go."

"Yes," Jenny bent down immediately, "as you wish."

"Before discussing the problem of force field projection, the work of expanding and transforming neural networks must also be incorporated into the'Magic Tide Countermeasures Project'," Gao Wen said immediately, "although the growth rate of neural networks is now sufficient Barrier needs, but only scale growth is not enough. We also need to consider that it will serve as the source of the “mind unity field”...the network can no longer be developed according to the original plan. It needs to be re-planned for the future and peace Make some preparations in advance for the connection of other subsystems."

He raised his head and looked at Rebecca: "You go find your aunt, she may have to... work overtime a little bit."

"Hey!" Rebecca agreed immediately, turned her head and walked towards the entrance of the study, but when she was halfway, she creaked and stopped her steps, shrank her neck and turned her head and glanced at Gawain, "I'll go and tell my aunt This... won't you be beaten?"

Gao Wen glared at her: "I asked you to spread the word, why would she hit you?"

"Oh." Rebecca nodded, and then walked out of the room with confidence.

…

At the same time, in the hinterland of the Ogure tribe, the quiet night was shrouding the forests and mountains of this ancient land, and the sacred peak of the ancestor stood under the stars.

At the foot of the ancestor's peak, the gray elf patriarch Wenna Baizhi stood on the edge of the balcony of the tallest chamber of Helm, holding on to the stone railing with her hands, quietly looking at the high mountain bathed in starlight.

On the top of the mountain, some lights and the silhouette of a tall tower can be seen faintly.

The place where the lights converge is the settlement of the goblin tribe on the mountain, and the towering tower is the main hub of the magic net at the top of the ancestor's peak—and also the largest hub tower in the entire Ogure tribe.

A slightly hoarse voice came from the side: "You have been staring at Ancestral Peak today."

Wenna turned her head, raised her head, and saw an unusually tall figure standing next to her.

"Camilla, you stand too close, and it's tired to talk with your head up."

"Oh, sorry," the warchief hurriedly backed away half a step, and at the same time cast his gaze on the towering mountain, "calculate the time... ‘that lady’ is about to arrive at this time."

"Well, soon," Wenna nodded slightly, "Just now Stella has sent a message from the mountain, saying that it has received a transmission signal."

Camilla pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but said in hesitation: "...You said, if we do this, the ancestors in the mountains really won't blame us?"

"...If the ancestors are really in that mountain, then they will only be proud of us," After a few seconds of silence, Wenna shook her head slowly, "If they are not there, then we don't have to hesitate. NS."

Camilla opened her eyes slightly, and the pale golden cat eyes quietly stared at her childhood playmate in the dark. After a few seconds, she sighed softly: "...It's really a profiteer, just like I have a thick skin."
