In Gao Wen's opinion, the technology of the Eternal Sleeper has always been very valuable, but it just needs to be improved.
At present, part of the Eternal Sleeper technology has been used in the Magic Net communication network established in the territory, but what Gao Wen wants is far more than this.
To him, Eternal Sleeper's achievements in neurosurgery and brain-immersion technology are equally fascinating.
Daniel is the most experienced Eternal Sleeper technician that Gawain can find. He has been a member of the Eternal Sleeper Cultist for more than ten years, and he is familiar with related technologies. What's more valuable is that he was born as a mage. This "former profession" gave him excellent skills. Research skills: Although Gao Wen often said that traditional mages are pedantic and backward, that refers to their group itself. Personally, as long as they can become advanced spellcasters, it is impossible in the fields of mathematics, logic, and pure intelligence. poor.
Sure enough, Daniel showed a proud look: "My lord, the research in this area has made great progress. I referred to the blueprint of the 'crown' device that you gave me before, and designed it while retaining its functions as much as possible. A set of connection devices that can be used by ordinary people, including connectors that simulate nerve cords and brain wave amplification arrays. In theory, it can achieve the same effect as the crown... "
But when it came to the old mage, he paused for a moment, with a hint of apology and nervousness in his tone: "It's just that it's still not perfect at the moment. The biggest problem is that it's so big that it's impossible to carry it around. Secondly, it consumes a lot of energy..."
Gawain listened calmly, feeling slightly relieved: as he expected, it was right to entrust this task to Daniel.
The "crown device" mentioned by the old mage is nothing but the magic item that Patty used when he fell asleep. It is a complicated and expensive magic weapon for the eternal sleeper, which Gawain has seen so far. , The only device that allows ordinary people to connect to the spiritual network, part of the runes in the magic net communicator is designed with reference to that crown.
But Patty's tiara also has a big flaw: like all traditional magic props of this era, it is too complicated, sophisticated and expensive to be mass-produced.
So Gawain gave the information on the crown to Daniel, and asked the old mage to redesign a set of "spiritual network connector" based on his own artificial nerve cord and amplified circle, combined with the runes in the crown.
Now he finally got the result, although it was still an incomplete result.
"Give me your current research materials and blueprint," Gao Wen slightly nodded at the old mage, "I will continue to improve it."
The old mage nodded quickly, and reproduced the information in his memory in this virtual space through shorthand magic. Watching the old mage's movements, some thoughts gradually emerged in Gao Wen's mind:
The timing seems to be almost here...
Daniel has undergone long-term observation and testing, and the safety of this hidden virtual space has also been verified. Perhaps... he can consider telling the things here to the trustworthy people around him.
If Daniel's connection device works, then he can connect the technicians in the territory to this virtual space. Using the simulated environment here, many research projects in the territory can be accelerated...
Let Daniel and Kamel contact them, and the researchers in the territory will make it easier to analyze the technology of the eternal sleepers, and the efficiency will also increase.
Gao Wen hadn't told the people around him that he was able to connect to the psychic network before. The main issue he considered was safety. He didn't want the eternal sleepers to know that there was a loophole in their psychic network, and he didn't want them to know that he had infiltrated into their network. However, After Daniel successfully became a bishop of the Eternal Sleepers, Gawain finally used him to establish a set of original IP system and security system in the mind network. Using these things, he has confirmed that at least in Cecil Bishop There are no network nodes of the Eternal Sleepers in the city and surrounding areas—so as long as the people who access the network are loyal and reliable, there is no need to worry about information leaking.
While thinking, Daniel had already completed the reproduction of the materials, and the old mage respectfully pushed the drawings full of symbols and words to Gao Wen: "My lord, this is all the materials."
"Very good," Gao Wen took the information and said casually, "You should know the power I have established in Ansu."
The old mage lowered his head: "Yes, your loyal servant has heard about it."
"I'm considering letting you get in touch with my subordinates in Anzu," Gao Wen said while paying attention to the changes in Daniel's expression, "Do you have any objections?"
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then showed an excited look: "This is my great honor!"
Obviously, the old mage took this as proof that his loyalty had finally been recognized by Gao Wen.
Gawain could guess what the old man was thinking, he didn't say anything, but reminded him seemingly casually: "My identity in Ansu is the founding Duke Gawain Cecil, not some wanderer outside the territory. Keep it in your mind."
Daniel quickly reacted and lowered his head: "Yes, I will follow your will..."
"Very good," Gao Wen nodded in satisfaction, and then looked up and down at the old mage in front of him, "How effective are the patterns I gave you?"
When mentioning this, Daniel suddenly showed a humble and grateful look: "They have incredible power!"
Then he talked about the power of those magical patterns and their effects on himself, especially mentioning the various benefits of his mental stability: "... in the process of slowly healing the nervous system, I feel that my mind is much clearer than before, and my thinking ability seems to have returned to the peak state when I was young... I was able to complete the task you gave me so quickly and design a new brain wave connection plan because of this... "
Gao Wen hummed: "Is there any adverse reaction?"
"No—although I did encounter the 'blindly happy' state you mentioned, but it seems that as long as I keep resisting, I can break free. This is also the most incredible thing about it: its intoxicating effect is better than any I know. All kinds of psychic illusions are strong, but at the same time, it can also keep the people who come into contact with it awake to the greatest extent. I think that as long as they are not actively trying to give up their minds, they should not be completely controlled by it... "
Speaking of this, Daniel paused for a moment, and said cautiously: "But I didn't let my apprentices try... I'm not very assured of their ambitions."
Gao Wen glanced at the old mage indifferently: "It should be because you are worried that once they come into contact with that relaxed and happy state, they will immediately abandon the painful reality without hesitation."
A trace of embarrassment and annoyance suddenly appeared on Daniel's face: "These years... my spirit has often lost control. I have always been fully awake only in the spiritual network. In the real world outside, I am about to become a distorted monster. Now, it's normal for my apprentices to be terrified of it."
The old mage in front of him is a mentally disturbed, moody, and tyrannical person in the real world. This is the fact that Gao Wen knew after searching Daniel's shallow memory.
Due to excessive indulging in the sorcery of the Eternal Sleeper, coupled with his own long-term setbacks on the road of magic and the sequelae left by neurosurgery, the spirit of this old mage has been out of control in the past ten years, and in the end it has deteriorated to the point of death. Only in the psychic network can he maintain a relatively rational level. He appears humble and submissive in front of Gao Wen and has quick thinking. How many.
But Daniel's mental state is not hopeless.
Gao Wen once taught him knowledge about the magic net and advanced mathematical materials. During this process, Gao Wen found that the positive emotions generated when learning new knowledge and making progress in research projects greatly relieved Daniel's loss of control. phenomenon, and after confirming the change, he made an attempt:
He rubbed the patterns on the tentacles of the sea monster Tyr in the sea monster form, and gave the patterns to Daniel.
He wanted to see how Daniel's mental state would change after being exposed to those weird patterns.
Tyr's sea monster form once left a deep impression on Gawain. The huge body, the countless tentacles growing in a sinuous manner, and the strange and coquettish form overturned Gawain's understanding of the "lazy and crazy" for the first time. The inherent impression of "salted fish essence", and the few special tentacles possessed by Sea Magic Till are the things that Gawain remembers the most.
The indescribable pattern, the extremely strong ability to infect the mind, directly rewrites the attributes of the mortal mind. It can be said that if the effect of those patterns is not too positive and funny, Gawain would have definitely regarded Tyre's sea demon tentacles as the first time. It is one of the characteristics of evil gods.
And even though the patterns on Tire's body were so funny that he didn't look like an evil god at all, Gawain couldn't help associating that thing with gods, because he heard Tire mention that the original sea monster didn't have that kind of evil spirit. They are in the form of a sea monster, and their sea monster form imitates the "big squid" in the deep sea.
Although I don't understand why the group of salted fish spirits imitated the evil god of the deep sea, they forcibly imitated themselves as the evil god of the deep sea, but after all, it may be related to the god, so Gao Wen had to be cautious about it. He wanted to test those patterns Whether there are still effects after being separated from the body, I want to test how effective they are, but I can't find a suitable test target on the territory. It wasn't until a certain time when Daniel was assigned a unit test that he thought of this in a flash. The mental state of the old mage.
There is no more suitable tester than Daniel - he is powerful, so he doesn't have to worry too much about accidents; he is a disciple of the Eternal Sleeper, with high mental resistance; more importantly, he is already mentally abnormal. There is only a thin line between the disabled and they need treatment...
However, after all, he is a double-effect spy that he has cultivated with great difficulty. 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 a lot of warnings in advance. He explained the dangers of those patterns and their possible appearance. The abnormal reaction, and told Daniel not to touch the pattern for more than half an hour each time, and once weird and funny thoughts appeared in his mind (such as wanting to dig a big squid), he must stop immediately...
Now it seems that the old mage did strictly follow his orders.
Gawain listened carefully to Daniel's report on the changes that had happened to him, and at the end he let out a long sigh of relief—
After being exposed to those crazy patterns, the old mage seemed to be much more energetic.
"Go back and continue testing those patterns. When the conditions are ripe, you can let your apprentices touch them, but be careful. In addition, it is best not to let people other than you and your apprentices discover those patterns, so as to prevent unnecessary troubles "Gao Wen stood up, his figure gradually faded in the virtual space, "I will contact you again."
Daniel also got up, and bent down deeply: "Yes, my lord."
The connection of the mind network was disconnected, and after a brief period of dizziness and the illusion of weightlessness, the scene of the real world reappeared in Gawain's vision.
He saw that Hetty was sitting opposite the desk, but she had already fallen asleep on the desk, and was breathing lightly and evenly.
Gao Wen didn't wake up his eldest granddaughter who was sleeping peacefully - he knew that Hetty was really tired recently and she needed to rest.
Typhon...
"Everyone is developing," Gao Wen couldn't help muttering softly, "No one will stop..."
