NO.001a: Talent tree and horror

Style: Science Author: sevenfold bodyWords: 2750Update Time: 24/01/11 22:33:41
The technological blueprints unearthed from the abyssal dark web are all kinds of messy.

All kinds of imaginable and unexpected things; things that can be reversely analyzed and reproduced with current technology, or that make the top technicians wonder for three days and three nights "how does this thing work?", or even make the theory Physicists shout "physics does not exist".

Jiang Zhou found some examples from Liao Qi's memory. For example, five years ago, an abyss rover salvaged a suspected second-class perpetual motion machine blueprint at depth 9. Several super companies broke out to compete for it. A large-scale mercenary war started.

As a key special technology blueprint for manufacturing adjusters, the value of "transformation authority" has always been much higher than that of technology blueprints of the same level in the market, and it has a price but no market.

This is normal. Other technologies are more or less external, but the transformation authority allows one to take a few big steps forward compared to the compatriots around him on the evolutionary road that iterates over tens or millions of years.

When the power to modify is so rare and valuable, most people have no right to be picky and picky. They basically install whatever they have in hand.

But it is easy to install. If you get permission to modify it for better use in the future, it will be troublesome to replace it for yourself.

This is not to say that the modification permissions are just like some unscrupulous online games that give weapon strengthening gems. Once embedded, they can never be deducted. The versatile multi-purpose printer can help you replace modified prosthetic equipment very easily.

But this will have a drastic impact on the replacement's mental index.

Every time you perform adjustments and modifications, in order to allow the adjuster to use the prosthetic body like an arm, the multi-purpose printer will help you reshape some of the neural links in the brain and write the corresponding "driver program."

And when you change the transformation permissions, it will reshape some neural links again to overwrite the previous "driver".

In this way, the more frequently an adjuster changes prosthetics, the more bugs may appear in his brain that has been overwritten many times. In the eyes of outsiders, he will become crazier...and once his mental index drops below a certain threshold, he will become completely inhumane mentally.

Therefore, when many adjusters reach a certain degree of transformation, even if they obtain higher-level transformation authority, they will often stop and choose to give things away.

It's not that I don't want to change it, but I'm afraid that it will be useless if I change it.

When Black Falcon-136 talked about the "Pegasus" with depth 3 modification authority in his hand before, he mentioned that he never installed it because he was worried about the deterioration of his mental index.

"...But the Olympus Order, which controls more than 90% of the world's abyssal darknet and almost monopolizes the deepwater industry, has discovered certain patterns after so many years of research. And one of them is: many transformations In fact, the permissions are not completely replaced, but upgraded."

Booker explained:

"Many low-level transformation permissions are actually prerequisites for other high-level transformation permissions. The reason why some high-level transformation permissions are useless and cause serious mental pollution is because the users have not installed them. Pre-configured modification permissions.

"The so-called 'upgrade path' is actually the current optimal transformation plan explored by predecessors."

I see……

Jiang Zhou restrained his impulse to nod and controlled Liao Qi to nod.

If you want to make an analogy, this sounds a bit like the talent tree system in some games, but it is more free-spirited - there are no level restrictions, and you can even click on the following content without clicking on the prerequisites. It's easy to die on the spot just by doing this.

Therefore, players who really want to upgrade properly must follow the plan honestly.

However, according to Booker, those plans are basically the internal information of the dog planners, and most players have to take risks on their own to summarize the rules that may not necessarily apply.

But in games, everyone may be willing to take risks by trial and error. After all, the most you can do is spend some money and time, but there are probably very few real people who are willing to do this.

Only with Shen Nong's courage, wisdom and enough luck can he conclude an effective path...

And if you really try it, there is a high probability that you will not be willing to publish the path you have summarized.

"So the 'Icarus' you just mentioned is just one..."

Liao Qi asked hesitantly.

"That's right, it's the upgrade path held by former team leader Koret, which includes all the transformation plans from Depth 1 to Depth 4."

Booker nodded and replied:

"Moreover, it is stored in that memory at this moment, and in addition to the upgrade path, there should be an additional set of depth 1 transformation permissions, and..."

Booker gritted his teeth and finally said:

"A deep 4 retrofit permissions component."

When he said this, he looked up at "Paradox" sitting on the iron tower.

In Booker's view, the most valuable thing in their hands is just that.

Although it is only a depth 4 transformation authority, in the eyes of this mysterious existence from God knows which depth, the probability is nothing. But other than that, he really couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was in bringing him to this hellish place.

What are you looking at me for? Before you said it, I didn’t know that the memory still contained such a thing...

Seeing the questioning look directed at him, Jiang Zhou muttered to himself.

However, compared to the Depth 4 transformation permissions, he was more interested in the sealed set of Depth 1 transformation permissions.

After all, Liao Qi can use it directly now.

And at least the adjustment plan before Depth 4 has been written down, so that my subsequent exploration of the Abyss Dark Web can be targeted.

And in terms of the combat effectiveness shown by their leader Koret, the upgrade path of "Icarus" seems to be really not weak.

In Liao Qi's perception, their team leader Koret was a superhero-like figure.

In the battle of "The Siege of Theseus' Warehouse", the leader was surrounded by the elite of Pluto's deep-diving punishment force. Faced with the siege of several enemies of the same level with high probability, he fought his way out, saved Liao Qi on the way, and broke out of the siege.

It's a pity that his injuries were too serious at that time, and the pursuers couldn't get rid of them like maggots attached to their bones. In the end, he had no choice but to seal his legacy in that memory, letting Liao Qi run away first while he stayed behind.

Liao Qi did not witness the outcome of the final battle, but he looked up the relevant news afterwards, and what was in the news was another classic natural gas explosion - the aftermath of the battle destroyed most of the city block.

Jiang Zhou remembers that the level of transformation of the leader Koret was depth 3.

In other words, there is a high probability that the team leader with the depth 4 transformation authority planned to install it for himself later... It's a pity that he didn't have time, otherwise he might be able to break through and survive.

but……

Seeing Booker looking at him with a questioning look, Jiang Zhou felt suddenly in trouble.

What should he say?

You can't really say that you made such a big fight just because of that Depth 1 set, or the Depth 4 modification authority, right?

This is just like when the Greek coalition expedition to Troy was not for Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, but for a female mouse in the city.

what can we do about it……

What should I do to make this guy give me all those things while ensuring my own status?

Now, even if the other party really says that he wants to dedicate it to me, it seems very low for me to just accept it...

Jiang Zhou thought awkwardly for a moment. Seeing that the other party was still staring at him and seemed like he might ask questions at any time, he had no choice but to slowly raise his hand.

I don’t want these things, I just want to take them over and play with them so that they won’t be out of place...

Jiang Zhou thought with some abandonment, and then took out the things sealed in the memory by visualizing Liao Qi's mandala.

"Is this what you were talking about?"

Jiang Zhou held the ball of data that was building a body in the void and asked in a calm tone.

At this moment, when Booker saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror in the audience, and he almost knelt down in front of Jiang Zhou in his seat.

Paradox… He He He He… What did He just do?

Did he just ignore the encryption of the "Mandala Program" and take those things out of Liao Qi's body? !
