The "harbinger" system is a device developed based on Lin Xue's predictive power, and as far as it is concerned, its effectiveness is already comparable to that of the seconds difference defense device made according to Qianqian's ability, and if it is applied properly , the potential of this thing in terms of development prospects and versatility is simply immeasurable.
Lin Xue's precognitive power is something between science and mystery: it can be explained by scientific methods, but the process by which Lin Xue realizes this ability is obviously more like occultism. Precognition is based on the instant full reading of all information of the entire event and the mapping of void information. It sounds complicated, but in fact this is a process of "looking in the mirror": Lin Xue's "eyes" can generate multiple perspectives at the same time, Not only is she staring at the current world she is in, but she can also let her perspective jump out of herself, and observe specific events in the universe from a certain angle outside the world. From the perspective of three-dimensional space, this is equivalent to a person who can Seeing the back of her head directly with the naked eye, and Lin Xue not only jumped out of the three-dimensional space, she also jumped out of the whole world, so she can observe everything in all dimensions of the whole world (of course, this is only theoretical, in fact Xue Lin will still be limited by her own energy when "observing" everything).
Since time is no longer the only concept after breaking away from the scope of the world, Lin Xue's observation range also extends to any point before and after the time axis: when she sees a thing, she is also observing the past and future of this thing.
In fact, people on earth have also guessed how to predict the evolution of the world. They think that if all the information in a system is accurately grasped and all the interference factors are taken into account, then the system can be "predicted". However, an observer is needed to accurately grasp all the information in this system, and the "observation behavior" of this observer occurs inside the system, and its perspective itself is an interference factor that cannot be grasped in time (eyes cannot see Eyes themselves), so this assumption is always difficult to establish, and Lin Xue just bypassed this contradiction: she can put her perspective outside the world, as if looking at this closed mathematical model from a third-party perspective, and even Do "look at your own eyes with your eyes", so that we are looking at the picture in the virtual world in front of the screen. We can not only see the things behind each character, but even know that they are about to play after reading the script. What happened, this is Xue Lin's perspective—a second pair of eyes outside the script.
Tavel studied Lin Xue's prophecy power a long time ago, and established a mathematical model with the above theory. She also made a verifiable "prophecy machine" based on these things, but because the technology side is more specialized in Simple and straightforward destructive power, the predictive machine she made is less effective than weather forecasting when it works well... In addition, projects such as the deep dive plan, weapon development plan, and research on ancestor civilization are rushing one by one. The matter of Weir manufacturing this kind of prophecy equipment was temporarily put on hold.
Unexpectedly, Alleria took over Tavel's project, and with the help of the old empire's mysterious system technology restored after the concept split was lifted, an embedded system called "Omen" was really created.
"A shield device embedded in the 'harbinger' system can be ready to protect before the attack begins, and will not waste energy on those threats that pass by us," Alleria said. Take it up and down and hand it over, "Its judgment is based on the "truth of the event" rather than based on the characteristics of the threat, so it can be considered that this system is a thing that does not make mistakes."
Tavel quickly added next to him: "In theory, it is."
I silently looked at the girl with glasses: "You really like this sentence."
Tavel pushed his own body, which was the glasses, with a very serious expression: "Science is serious and rigorous, Your Majesty, anything that is not 100% confirmed must be declared dangerous in advance..."
I decided not to discuss the spirit of scientific research with this stubborn and serious sister Yu, but bowed my head and studied this magical shield device seriously.
It looks like a normal shield generator in appearance. It is a silver-white metal device, hexagonal, with rounded corners and a slight bulge in the center. It looks like a carapace, with six edges around it. There is a light blue stream of psionic light flowing slowly, which is a typical technology-side device. This generator is only the size of a palm, and it's no bigger than a normal shield generator - it seems that adding a "harbinger" system to it doesn't change the size of the thing, and the "harbinger" must be super miniaturized Device, this is much better than the second-second defense system. Although the latter is absolutely invincible and has now entered the practical stage, its energy consumption is astonishing and its volume is too large. So far, it can only be applied to large-scale equipment such as spaceships. superior.
The only single soldier who can use Parsec to defend is Qianqian herself.
"Is 'Omen' a technology or a mystery thing?" I looked at the high-tech equipment in front of me, and saw that some test items on other test benches were obviously mysterious equipment. I couldn't help being curious. "I still remember that the technology department and the mystery department are not compatible... Could it be that this uses the source energy mine?"
Alleria shook her wings, which seemed to be her way of expressing her good mood: "Of course, we found a new source energy ore generation point in the chaotic area on the edge of the shadow space, which can provide a large amount of ore for making new ones. 'Hybrid equipment', otherwise it would be a big problem to use the runes of the mysterious department on the equipment of the technology department."
The source energy mine has incredible properties: its energy conduction efficiency for any energy is almost perfect, and it can make the two energy systems seamlessly connected, just need to use some auxiliary equipment to adjust the energy frequency, the nether energy and the holy light can even Mix in a energizer line and activate any system. Compared with the old empire, the only improvement in the technology tree of the new empire is the "hybrid equipment". It is a remarkable progress to create a device that can use psionic energy and holy light at the same time without using special apostle talents (such as ravens). - Right now, the "harbinger" system seems to be such a hybrid device.
Why the source energy mine has this special attribute is still a mystery. Tavel only knows that it is related to the disturbance of void creatures. It may be that the information disturbance of void creatures makes this ore have a certain "chaotic" nature, but due to the disturbance of the source When the energy mine is scanned microscopically, the basic structure of this "material" cannot be found at all. Our research on the source energy mine is basically still at the conjecture stage.
Anyway, just know it works.
"We are also trying to install 'Omen' on weapons and soul upload plugins." Alleria pointed to other test beds, some of which are testing weapons, and some are testing "Omen" Is the reaction force really infinitely fast? There are still some test benches testing soul uploads... Damn it is really testing this!
"Can't people die?!" I stared dumbfounded at the test facility not far away: a tester stood on a platform, surrounded by a circle of weapons with random triggers, and the people on the platform had to press the button to activate it. The countdown was randomly triggered, and when I looked up, I saw another tester beat himself into a sieve... They were really playing it!
"Resurrection is enough," Alleria's voice was very flat, "Even if the 'Omen' fails to start smoothly, the regular soul upload and the nearby soul collection device can revive the tester, but it will only take a painful experience. Of course, there is also the chance of accidents, but this sacrifice is valuable, and any experiment will have sacrifices, soldiers sacrificed on the battlefield, technicians and scholars sacrificed in the laboratory: this is our battlefield."
Even Miss Lin was stunned: "Can't you use a virtual device or something? Is it difficult to upload a simulated soul?"
"It's not difficult, but it won't achieve the test effect." Alleria shrugged her wings, "The 'harbinger' is different from the general judgment organization. It takes effect directly on the 'truth of the event'. We want to test it on the user. Whether the prediction can be accurately performed before the real death, the judgment condition must be the "truth of the event", the simulator can't fool the omen at all, just like any false appearance can't fool the eyes of Mistress Lin Xue. And if we use the death of the simulator to If it replaces the normal judgment conditions, it will lose the significance of the experiment.”
I stared dumbfounded at the test stand, and another tester walked up, calmly smashing himself into pieces with a bunch of randomly triggered weapons, in order to simulate as much as possible the situation where he died under stray bullets—and he had to Responsible for recording the uploaded data of one's own soul at the moment of death.
Of course I know they can be resurrected, but...
This psychological quality is really imperial style.
"This system has great potential," Sandora nodded with satisfaction, but she didn't feel anything about some of the horrific test items. In her opinion, everything that happened here was normal, "But I guess it must be Will there be usage restrictions? A perfect 'harbinger' system should not exist, and even Lin Xue is sometimes harassed."
"Indeed," Alleria nodded, "'Omen' can only do the simplest binary trigger."
"Binary trigger?" I frowned and nodded professionally, "The biggest problem is that I still don't understand..."
Lin Xue pinched me, turned her face to look at Aurelia: "Is it only possible to make a yes or no judgment?"
Kite Angel nodded: "This is already the limit. The 'Omen' system can only preset one judgment condition at present, and make a simple decision of 'yes' or 'no' to this judgment condition. For example, it can be used in the shield In the above, the set judgment condition is that the shield is hit by a fatal attack, and the "harbinger" system can only decide whether to activate the shield, but it does not know the scale of the attack it is facing, so it cannot determine the shield. Power. This duality also greatly limits its application in weapons... We originally thought that this thing could shine in weapons, because a perfect 'harbinger' system can make the weapon's hit rate reach 100%, but Now it seems that a thing with only binary judgment can be used for auxiliary aiming at best: when this attack will definitely not produce an effect, forcefully prevent the weapon from being activated, so as to save energy or prevent the failure of the sniper attack.”
I was a little frustrated when I heard this restriction. Alleria was right. The most attractive thing about the "harbinger" system is the effect of installing it on weapons. Since the ten-game losing streak with Lin Xueping I realized that the worst thing about prophets is that they have a 100% hit rate. Unfortunately, "harbingers" can only make binary judgments, which are not suitable for weapons at all.
Of course, I still think of a more creative usage, that is to install the "harbinger" on the weapon and then wave this artifact to sweep the enemy around, aiming with luck while confusing the enemy, and waiting for the opponent to be paralyzed 100% headshot with a bang when you are careless: use the "harbinger" to control the trigger, and the weapon will only automatically activate when the attack can hit the target.
This sounds very interesting, but I guess normal designers would not do this, not to mention how much this "assisted aiming" has improved for the imperial soldiers whose weapon proficiency skills themselves are full. It sounds enough to make people develop bad habits...
However, I still shared my thoughts with Alleria, and she also thought that this idea is quite creative, and it may be used in automatic turrets—of course, the "bucket" part must be removed...
"Actually, it is already very valuable now." Sandora looked quite happy, "Many times, life and death really only need a binary judgment, a question of yes or no, 'harbinger' can It perfectly solves this kind of thing. Soul upload and shield activation... The application of binary judgment is very extensive, can it produce energy?"
Alleria nodded: "'Omen' is an embedded rune system. To put it bluntly, it is to transform the old equipment and embed an extra controller in it, so it does not need to design a new industrial machine for production What kind of accessories, just need to add some processes to the existing production line. In addition, it will be more difficult to transform things in the technology department. Although the "harbinger" is a hybrid system, its construction process can only be completed through mysterious equipment for the time being. Remodeling all the arsenals in the empire is no small undertaking."
Sandora nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Take your time, don't worry, I can give you the bubbles."
"Isn't the mother machine busy on weekdays?"
This time, without waiting for Sandora to answer, I interjected next to her: "That girl built a lot of mass-produced machines day and night a while ago, and now she's almost growing mushrooms in her spare time."
Alleria: "..."
It seems that this kite angel is not quite used to my speaking rhythm.
Of course, that’s what I said. In fact, Bubble is usually quite conscientious—she is also an apostle of Xiling, and she will definitely not be lazy in her own work, but if you want to arrange some blueprints for production line transformation for her, That girl must be busy too. Her ability to give birth and give birth while going to work is not so strong... Why does this sentence sound weird
We quickly decided on the application of the "harbinger" system. Since it is something like a "prophet switch", it doesn't take up much space and has no installation requirements. Sandora decided to apply it to large battleships first in order to maximize its effect in the case of limited production capacity. A single switch can be used by both individual soldiers and warships, and there are many times when large warships make this kind of binary judgment that determines life and death. Sometimes in the face of a deadly threat, a timely and accurate anti-phasing may turn the tide of the battle. Before the emergence of the "harbinger" system, it was the battlefield analysis module of the shipboard main engine that performed this judgment. Now, we can Boldly hand it over to the Prophet.
We are not worried that this thing will make soldiers dependent or reduce the user's own judgment. The "harbinger" system will only be applied to those devices that have been controlled by automatic plug-ins before, which is equivalent to treating it as a A more advanced automatic plug-in, as for normal battlefield judgment, it still depends on the soldier's personal combat ability.
You can't expect a yes-or-no system to fight for you anyway, can you
Tavel still has some work matters to discuss with Aurelia, so he stayed here for the time being. The few of us left when we saw that we had nothing to do here, but seeing that it was still early outside, we decided to stay in the Celestial City Turn around a few times.
Everyone knows what kind of structure the Celestial City is: it is completely floating in the endless sky, all buildings are located on floating islands or sky platforms, and some buildings are even suspended in the sky alone, this temple of knowledge belongs to the latter : It is an independent facility floating high in the sky, surrounded by only a few takeoff and landing platforms and broken bridges for people to stop, and it is impossible to come here without the ability to fly. The Sanctuary of Knowledge is a new building floating in the central area of the Celestial City. From the outside, it looks like a silver dome emitting a hazy halo. It is almost the largest of all the surrounding buildings: second only to the huge The incomparable sky tower.
The Temple of Knowledge is an irregular building, and I don't know where its main entrance is (in fact, it doesn't seem to matter whether there is a main entrance for such a strange building nested with a lot of overlapping spaces?), anyway, everyone came out of the teleportation station Then I stood on a suspended platform outside. This platform is about the size of a basketball court. It is made of milky white crystals, exuding a mysterious shimmer like the whole building. The platform is semicircular, and there is no guardrail on the edge. It is a typical "elegant and dangerous" structure on the mysterious side. I cautiously came to the edge of the takeoff and landing platform, looked at the endless sea of clouds below, and turned my head to ask Alaya: "You said that these buildings of yours often don't even have a guardrail. If they fall... hey, I will go to Alaya ?”
Then I saw Alaya flapping his wings and flying up from below: "I fell just now."
Me: "..." RS
