Sword of Daybreaker

The grid connection project is in full swing.

From Shilin City in the west, to Tamdul and the Fortress in the east, from the Winter Castle in the extreme north, to Cecil in the southern capital, the main hubs of the empire were before the official start-up. In the last test, the magic network nodes at all levels under the main hub were also preparing for the upcoming “sequential roll call”. The most exciting project in history, which lasted for many years, was finally ready for acceptance. Everyone who had participated in it now tightened his nerves, not wanting it to have any accidents.

And this exciting project not only affects the real world, but another "world" is also preparing for the upcoming grid connection.

In the "New World" constructed by the power of the mind, a brand new city spreads out on the plain, shining brightly in the sky. The appearance of the city looks like the "mirror" of the capital of the capital, Cecil. Seeing the outline of the real world Cecil City, but the details show many differences, it is newer, larger, and has many buildings that do not exist in the real world, it seems to be built based on the real world A more imaginative and forward-looking "city model" is proudly standing on this vast land.

In the western part of the city, in a block that does not exist in the real world, the flow of people is like a weaving car, and the bustling streets are filled with pedestrians and horses that have never been seen in the real Cecil, which even caused the entire block It also makes the order of shops on both sides of the street a little bit messy.

But suddenly, all of this stopped. The crowds of people and vehicles on the street began to dissipate quickly. The shops that opened along the street also extinguished the lights, and then the brightly colored buildings began to fade away and turned into gray-white geometric patterns. , And quickly became monotonous lines and noise, everything disappeared within a few seconds, leaving only undefined blank land in the original place-the grassland in the distant wilderness quickly spread over and began to backfill this undefined block.

A Sven man wearing a white researcher's robe and a monocle with glasses appeared out of nowhere on a gray land. He glanced at the resettlement block and said to the air casually: "Urban planning for the Western District Phase VI project At the end of the simulation, the congestion situation has not improved significantly. It is necessary to re-plan the road scale and adjust the position of the traffic signal. I will organize a report after the specific situation. "

Jumping golden runes appeared in the air, and the response from the real world urban planning department came from: "Received, thank you for your work."

"It should be done," Yuri said politely, and then glanced at the sky not far away-there was a huge countdown floating there, reminding him that the time was approaching, "So this is the last simulation today- The grid connection project will start soon. Before the magic network returns to normal, the neural network will be temporarily disconnected from all conventional nodes. "

"Understood-I wish you all the best. The connection is over."

"Thanks. End of connection"

Yuri hung up communication with the real world, and the grass that spread from afar just happened to backfill the last gray undefined land at his feet.

He turned around, preparing to return to the city not far away, but a familiar breath suddenly approached, stopping him.

Magnum's figure appeared in front of You inside.

"Don't I be late?" The loud man stared at his eyes. "I came when I received the notice-I didn't even have time to do homework for the students after school ..."

"You should think about improving your teaching efficiency, not the efficiency of your homework," Yuri lightly looked at the guy who had lost the real world body in front of him, but had recently continued to rise in the real world by other means. A glance, then nodded, "Time is just right, count you, the technical team is all in place."

Magnum relaxed, and nodded.

And behind Yuri and Magnum, on the other side of the "new dream city" built after the imperial capital, a huge white spider was emerging from the air and slowly climbed outside the city Of a hill.

...

On a high ground on the east side of the "New City of Dreams", an old man in a black dress, with a cane in his right hand, and a quaint lantern in his left hand raised his head and looked up at a hill not far away. The white spider said softly to the air next to it: "This is Duvalt. Naritel has already started monitoring the neural network hub data, and it is expected to complete the protection of all nodes in five minutes."

A string of jumping golden rune diplomas floated beside the "human nature of God", and Rebecca's voice came from inside: "I have received it-you will always pay attention to the instructions of the dispatch center."

Duval nodded in character and just wanted to say something, but heard the shout of Naritel from the hill not far away: "I can climb faster!"

Her voice is actually not loud, but it is enough to spread throughout the region.

"Cough ... you just have to maintain this efficiency now," Duvalt subconsciously coughed. "Three hours before the official grid connection, we have plenty of time."

"Yes, don't worry. The key is to monitor and protect all network nodes," Rebecca's voice also heard from the golden runes. "Your task is very important. You must ensure that the neural network is connected to the magic network. Safe and sound. "

"……Oh."

Narettiel screamed, and continued to climb the hill at the current speed, and around her behemoth spider body, countless ray of silk thread had begun to emerge from the air, an invisible The network is rapidly weaving, protecting the layers of the neural network that are still somewhat immature to prepare for the impact that may come when the physical network in the real world changes.

...

In San Sunil City, the old royal symbol of the Silver Fort, a tall tower is gradually starting.

It is the main hub of Saint Sunil. From the geographical location, it is also the "center" of the magic net of the entire Cecil Empire. In the upcoming grid connection, this hub will play a very important coordination and commitment. Pressure effect.

Cohen Lawrence stood side by side with the Earl of Bahrain on another tower near the tower. Looking through the window, the tower, which had the most advanced technology of the current empire awake a little from his sleep, and he was very excited.

Unlike the main hub elsewhere, this tall tower in the Silver Fort is not completely new-in fact it was converted from the former main tower of the Silver Fort, the main structure is part of this royal fortress, San Suni It took almost a year for the craftsmen of Seoul and the technical consultants from the Imperial Capital of the South to complete the project. Now the complex and sophisticated mechanical support and crystal array are slowly running above the former "eye of the king", and It was originally a place where members of the Moen royal family looked out over the entire capital.

This kind of "renovation of old objects" does not mean that the quality of St. Sunil's hub project is worse than elsewhere-in fact, the opposite is true. The Silver Fort was the heart of the former Ansu. The Moen royal family spent a lot of money on magic blessing and precision Materials are used to strengthen every corner of this fortress. Under the premise of no cost, the old magic skills are not inferior to today ’s magic industry. The main tower ’s sturdiness and anti-aging ability are fully compatible with the new reinforced concrete hub Comparable, even better.

Watching such a symbolic building representing the ancient kingship change its face in the new era and become one of the pillars of the Imperial Devil's Web is the thing that most moved the two former Ansu nobles.

"After the tower is put into operation, Saint Sunil will also be reborn ..." The Earl of Bahrain broke the silence. He looked slightly thinner than the previous year and his eyes were more calm and condensed than at that time, "The economy and culture should be There will be a certain degree of development ... "

"This tower is a signal that it will tell those guys who only know how to live in their homes to drink alcohol to give up unrealistic memories, let them forget the old days as soon as possible, and adapt to this new era," Cohen Loren nodded. "As for the economy and culture ... I'm just like you, Count Bahrain, I am optimistic."

Both smiled.

Since the establishment of the empire, the political and economic center of the country has been transferred from San Sunil to the city of Cecil in the south, and the former kings have inevitably experienced a certain degree of decline-despite the normal functioning of the city and basic business The order of industry and industry has been restored, but a city suddenly changed from a capital to an ordinary municipality. The gap between them is easy to imagine.

There are both economic gaps and cultural status gaps, as well as psychological gaps among citizens.

Bringing this once glorious ancient city to life again is always the most important thing in the hearts of the officials of the San Sunil Administration Office-even a kind of obsession.

"It's almost time," Count Bahrain glanced at the mechanical watch on the nearby wall and suddenly said softly, "Be prepared."

Cohen Loren looked back and saw that a magic net terminal in the room was running smoothly. Many consoles with runes were flashing lights. Magisters and runes were standing by the machine, just like waiting for the expedition. Soldier.

He actually gave birth to a consciousness of the general who was about to leave.

A few minutes later, the magic network terminal set in the center of the room started in advance. The figure of Rebecca, the minister of the Imperial Magic Technology Department, appeared in the holographic projection. No one had ever seen such a serious expression on her face-

"This is the highest dispatch center. Now the main hubs begin to name the secondary hubs in sequence, and the progress will be reported after fifteen minutes."

...

In the command center on the basement level of the Magic Research Institute, bright magic crystal lights illuminate the large hall. A large number of technicians are sitting next to one monitoring device, performing processes that have been practiced countless times in advance.

Rebecca sits in a chair at the front of the room, and several magic net terminals run in front of her, projecting the scene of the main hub control room from all over the empire, connected by a single line.

"Western order rollover ends, all nodes are normal."

"East border Tamdura order rollover ends, all nodes are normal."

"The order of the East Frontier Fortress has ended, and all the nodes are normal."

"The order of North Winter Rind Castle ends ..."

During the scheduled time, all the order rollovers were successfully completed. The main hubs and their subordinate nodes distributed throughout the empire established connections one after another, and a large-scale network was gradually taking shape.

Gao Wen was sitting in a chair not far behind Rebecca, feeling nervous.

According to his original plan, he did not actually intend to let the magic net of the whole Empire complete the "overall merger" in one operation. He had planned to divide the whole Empire into several regions, and let the networks of each region form slowly one by one. , And then connect these branch networks to the total network one by one in sequence, the duration of the whole project will be extended many times, but everything will be more certain, and can also have a higher risk tolerance rate.

But the problem is that he does n’t have so much time-especially after experiencing the catastrophe caused by the eternal sleeper, after realizing that the "countdown" of the gods is getting closer and closer, the sense of urgency in his heart becomes stronger. I had to choose the shorter and more difficult solution in front of me.

To be honest, even with the pressure brought by the sense of urgency, Gao Wen actually hesitated for a long time before this plan. It was the emergence of "Naritier" that finally made him determined-a **** of the past to enter the network At the time of connection to the network, he had more confidence. Naritel was the most effective "insurance" he could think of. With this insurance, he dared to face the risks of the magic network of the whole world.

Amidst the surge of Gao Wen's thoughts, Rebecca's work was also carried out in an orderly manner.

All the main hubs have been inspected, and now is the most critical step.

"This is the highest dispatch center, and now announces the instructions:

"Except for the main hub of San Sunil, each main hub executes the power-on standby command after starting 120 seconds;

"The main hub of San Sunil entered the connection state directly after booting, and the first channel pointed to Cecil;

"Except for the main hub of St. Sunil, the remaining main hubs are in standby for 60 seconds, and then call St. Sunil and establish a connection at 60-second intervals, in the following order:

"Ten Forest City, Winter Castle, Tamdullah, Changfeng ...

"The sequence is the same as the previously published document, and I repeat it again, you confirm:

"Ten Forest City, Winterhold ..."

Gao Wen looked at Rebecca, who was meticulously issuing instructions personally, took a light breath, and tapped the armrest of the seat unconsciously with his fingers.

"Attention, the time starts!"

The crowd in the hall became extraordinarily quiet, only the buzzing and clicking of various devices, and the sound of Rebecca's instructions.

Then, every few tens of seconds, a controller in front of an operation desk loudly reported:

"The signal received from Saint Sunil, the strength is as expected ... has been connected to the western node group of the Holy Spirit Plain."

"Received the signal from Shilin City ..."

Gao Wen looked at the forefront of the hall, where there was one of the largest magic net terminals, and a large holographic projection displayed a map of the entire Cecil Empire.

Pieces of light on the map were illuminating in sequence, and the dim ground seemed to be illuminated by stars.

Soon, those bright light spots covered most of the empire's land, just waiting for the final closure-

"Received the signal of Sorinburg, strength ..."

On the projected map, the last spot lighted up from the Sorin area, and the whole empire was covered with a layer of bright glow.

However, this only lasted less than two seconds.

A sharp, weird, roaring sound that made people feel as if their souls were trembling suddenly came from every magic net terminal on the scene, and all the lights in the hall began to flash violently!
