Yuri and Semler stood up first, followed by Wendy and the other bishops and archbishops at the scene. Finally, the other priests realized who was in front of them, and the bench and the clothes shook slightly. The sound of the sound continued to resound in the entire assembly hall, and every eternal sleeper stood up.
It was a truly spectacular sight.
Gawain looked at these people in front of him, at these people who had just been transferred from Typhon and were members of the dark sect not long ago. Although he personally facilitated all this, he still felt a little unreal at this moment—the entire Eternal Sleeper The sect, the heritage accumulated over seven hundred years, more than half of the results belong to Cecil now.
These are technicians.
Gao Wen exhaled lightly, and said lightly, "Sit down."
The three major dark sects, the Son of the Storm is being eroded and transformed by the power of the Harmonious God of the deep sea, the current situation is unknown; the end of all things will finally live up to its name, except for a group of remnants who ran into the wasteland to hide, almost all the parts left in the human country are extinct , only one plant on the Sorin Plain remained; the Eternal Sleepers, the order fell apart, and the surviving technicians were divided among the two human empires.
Although the darkness and chaos that lasted for seven hundred years cannot be said to have settled down to this day, in Gao Wen's view, at least the general trend has been settled.
"Yuri, Semler, and...Wendy," Gawain glanced at the faces of several more familiar archbishops one by one, and when he turned his gaze to the open space next to him, two more figures stood out. The ground floated there, "Ah, and Magnum, Selena... Glad to see you all arrived safely."
"Your Majesty," Yuri took a slight step forward. When he said the word "Your Majesty", he obviously stumbled a bit. He was obviously not very used to this title. Then he turned slightly sideways and pointed at the crowd in the hall, "At present The Eternal Sleepers who have successfully crossed the border so far are already here—in terms of number, they only account for less than 10% of the entire church, but basically all of them are middle-level and high-level members who have mastered technology, including almost all archbishops. One of the bishops, as well as some elite priests with outstanding abilities, are always at your disposal."
In other words, in fact, there are still a considerable number of middle-level technical personnel staying in Tifeng...
Gao Wen sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just nodded and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, you can rest here for a few days to get familiar with the environment here, as well as familiar with you here. There will be special personnel and departments responsible for the laws and rules that must be obeyed, and arrangements for board and lodging will be made.
"In addition, in the next period of time, these holy light priests will live with you, and they will lead you to gradually adapt to life here."
The Eternal Sleepers at the scene seemed a little agitated when they heard his last words, but in the end no one came forward to express their opinions, and Gawain was quite satisfied with this.
"Then, others can go to rest, and the archbishops stay—I still have things to explain and arrange."
The White Knights and Battle Sisters at the scene immediately stepped forward to guide the other priests to leave the assembly hall and go to the resettlement area arranged in advance. The archbishops such as Yuri and Semler stayed as ordered—including Magnum and Selena appeared in front of Gao Wen's eyes.
Magnum looked around the place curiously, he was not very used to the existence of "psychological projection", so that he kept flickering like a poorly contacted magic spar (reminiscent of Kamai in party mode Er), after discovering that everyone had left, he sensed the changes on the scene as if belatedly, and looked at Gao Wen curiously: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what other arrangements do you have?"
"Take you to see your new 'home'," Gao Wen smiled, then lowered his head and said to Amber next to him, "Go to the computing center."
The place Gawain wanted to take them to was not far away—in fact, it was right next to this meeting place.
Guarded by a team of white knights, the archbishops walked for less than ten minutes on a road that was completely devoid of pedestrians and shaded by trees and bushes. Suddenly, an open land that seemed to be still under construction appeared in front of them. In front of everyone's eyes.
All kinds of magical machines that they have never seen before are running nervously and busily in the open space. The supernatural power is controlled by the most ordinary workers and applied on a large scale in the most basic construction projects. In the center of the tall construction site, a five or six-story building, roughly pyramid-shaped, with a large amount of runes and magic materials being laid on its surface, has taken shape and stands there majestically.
Magnum's eyes widened immediately—almost every archbishop present was more or less surprised.
Some of them were surprised by the "mechanized cluster construction" scene they had never seen before, and some were surprised by the mysterious pyramid building whose style and structure were unheard of. Regardless of the reason for their surprise, they all had one reaction that was surprisingly consistent: All eyes soon fell on Gao Wen.
Magnum stared at the pyramid for a long time before looking at Gawain. He was the first one who couldn't help but ask, "Is that a prison? Or a 'factory' for us to transform?"
He still firmly remembered the "reform through labor" that Gawain had mentioned at the Supreme Bishops' Conference.
The faces of several archbishops at the scene became somewhat subtle, and Yuri even spread his hands helplessly—since Magnum became a projection, it was not so easy to cover the mouth of this loud voice in time.
Gao Wen didn't care, he shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, at least none of the people present here have to be thrown into prison, and the knowledge you have mastered can give you a brighter future to the greatest extent. .As for this facility... In a sense it is indeed for you to work in, but it is not a factory.
"Welcome to the Imperial Computing Center—although it has not yet been completed, some of the main building's facilities are ready. Come with me, and I will show you the future."
Gawain led the Eternal Sleepers striding towards the pyramid-shaped building, and everyone followed with mixed emotions of curiosity and anticipation. Amber also walked closely beside Gawain with short legs. When approaching the "pyramid", Yuri noticed that many places on the outer edge of its foundation had not been covered. On the open foundation layer, a large number of neatly arranged hexagonal rune structures could be seen. And there is a faint magical radiance flowing between those components.
This is probably Cecil's "magic net", he thought.
From scale to precision, it is far superior to all kinds of "imitations" made by other forces.
Then, they stepped through the gate of the pyramid-shaped building, and a hall illuminated by a large number of lights, which was still undergoing site cleaning and laying of facilities, appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing they saw was a huge pillar in the center of the hall—the pillar was in the shape of a cuboid, thicker than the main beams of any castle, and its surface seemed to be made up of a large number of silver-white metal plates. Its precise stitching and the distribution of gaps that seem to imply some geometric regularity reveal an intoxicating "beauty" that is difficult to describe in words, because no one has seen anything like it anywhere else.
And between the gaps of those metal plates, on the surface of some of the special panels, streams of light blue magic light are flowing quietly, and the dots of light are flickering like breathing.
This even gave Yuri an illusion—he felt that this pillar was alive, and even had its own thinking. It was the heart and brain of this building, and those Cecil workers and technicians were putting it together. Awakening little by little, and this slowly waking thing...waiting to communicate with other minds...
Suddenly, Yuri realized that what he had had was not an illusion.
He did feel something familiar from that pillar, which was a magical fluctuation similar to some facilities in the headquarters of the Eternal Sleeper!
"This is the thinking hall. The pillar in front of you is called the 'mind hub'. It is the first and only mind hub in the empire." Gawain noticed the changes in the expressions on the faces of Yuri and the others. It took a few seconds to explain, "You may have some familiarity with it, which is normal, because this thing... uses your mind network technology.
"The 'Mind Hub' almost runs through the entire building, with four floors above the ground and two floors underground, connecting all levels of computing layers, thinking halls, redundant centers, and the deepest magic net medium layer. You have noticed the rooms around the hall What? There are more rooms above and below ground, and in those rooms there are thousands of immersion chambers in total—there will be more in the future, and more computing centers will appear in various provinces of the empire. There will also be more 'distribution stations' near the center to take on more computing tasks.
"The immersion cabins in each room will be connected to the mental hub, and then connected to the magic net through the mental hub - after an extra layer of magic net conversion and a new security medium, it is better than using the human brain to directly 'naked' the network before. It's much safer.
"By the way, some of you may not know what an immersion chamber is - you can ask Selina about this, she has seen it before."
Semler no longer cared much about what Gao Wen said in his last sentence.
He, as well as the other archbishops present, watched all this, listened to all this, and conceived all this in their minds.
This magnificent building, as well as the large-scale, advanced and sophisticated equipment inside, are essentially technical extensions of the spiritual network of the eternal sleepers, but their volume and application methods are completely beyond the understanding of all eternal sleepers , even if they didn't get a glimpse of the whole building, even if they only glanced at what they could see, Semler, Yuri and the others could tell that this thing was definitely not just for the priests of the Eternal Sleepers present at the scene—it needed The "users" accommodated are definitely much more than they imagined! !
What touched them even more was that there would be more than one similar "computing center" in the future—every province would have one, and there would even be "distribution stations" for additional expansion facilities. How huge it would be scale
The original Eternal Sleeper Order also had so-called "external nodes". In addition to the headquarters in Orlande, they also set up some computing facilities in other places. The auxiliary facilities are probably equivalent to the role of the "distribution station" mentioned by Gao Wen. Even so, it is already the result of hundreds of years of accumulation of the Church of the Eternal Sleepers...
What Gao Wen described was an unimaginable future for them.
The scale is so large that they even feel that it is a bit more than necessary, and it is a bit unbelievable.
"So many, such large-scale computing centers..." Yuri finally couldn't help but said, "Are you planning to let everyone establish a connection with it?"
"Why not?" Gao Wen asked rhetorically, "The immersion chamber is a safer connection method, and ordinary people can also use it. In fact, Cecil has completed research in this area. Currently, the scale of the computing center is limited. , is just the production capacity of the immersion chamber.
"As you said, Yuri, I just want this network to cover the entire empire—in my opinion, this is a very useful technology."
The archbishops looked at each other.
This is a path they never thought of - because it represents a direction that was once impossible for them!
However, they couldn't help but feel dazzled just thinking about the prospect that Gao Wen had drawn, and the power that the spiritual network could unleash after it was rebuilt on the land of the Cecil Empire.
"It's still possible..." Magnum couldn't help muttering, "We didn't even imagine such a thing..."
Gawain smiled and looked at Magnum calmly.
"Because the Order of the Eternal Sleepers is just a religious order, and Cecil, is an empire," he said unhurriedly, "what you see are two forces—the power of industry, and... the power of the state machine .
"And your original path of 'saving the world alone' is destined to run counter to these two forces.
"Finally, let me say it again—welcome to Cecil, welcome to the future."
