The wetland jungle in the early morning is perhaps the quietest time of the day. The activity frequency of birds and beasts in the forest has been reduced to a minimum, and most of the corresponding sounds are also blocked when transmitted to the interior of the building.
In such an environment, any slight abnormality will be magnified and give people an unusual feeling.
Ronan's soul body stayed still, and he felt it carefully. After more than ten seconds, he was convinced that the chill was not an illusion. It even has a certain operating mode, like a swirling stream of air that travels back and forth inside the gear building.
Moreover, when the chill circulated, the tinny sound of ticking in the gear building was always accompanied. Perhaps because he had listened to it for a long time, he always felt that there was some subtle connection between the two.
It's so delicate that it can make people feel misunderstood at any time.
That is to say, Ronan was traveling in an out-of-body state, and the accuracy of his mental induction had reached its highest peak. Otherwise, not to mention this connection, even the inner meaning of the coldness might not be able to be detected.
"That's right, that's right."
Ronan likes this discovery. This detail is very suitable for his research and judgment on the mystery of gears, which can be regarded as a good start for this fugue exploration.
He almost stayed here to do further research, but after his mind heated up for a few seconds, he finally remembered the main purpose of today's action, so he had to suppress the impulse and let his void soul body penetrate the ground and go to the central control center on the fourth floor underground. Enter the room.
It feels amazing to use your soul body to pass through walls and into the ground. The soul body relies on mental induction, and ordinary substances will not cause any interference. However, because he is accustomed to the human body's sensations, Ronan can't help but have some cognitive barriers.
In his "eyes", the earth and steel structures formed layers of shadows, like thick clouds coming towards the face. At first glance, the blocks looked majestic, but when they hit them, they were as ethereal as smoke. So much so that I almost lost my sense of direction and couldn't tell whether I was going up to heaven or down to earth.
This feeling touched the memory in his heart.
A week ago, there was a similar scene, but it was more real. The gray clouds with blood shining in them rushed towards him like now, presenting him with an incredible vast world.
Ronan came here quietly today just to trace that incredible experience.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, but during this period, because the mess was out of control, he was closely watched by the Xiacheng branch. They were protected almost 24 hours a day, and he was sent to school and picked up after school. Xue Lei hated him on campus We couldn't stay away from each other for an inch. When we got home, there were sentries on duty outside in the middle of the night.
Not to mention, the gear building is under construction all the time. People from all walks of life are working hard, and there are surveillances inside and outside. It is true that there are eyes on all sides, but there is no way to do it, and there is no chance at all.
Now that he finally had the qualifications to leave his body, he naturally came over to try it as soon as possible. So far, the situation has progressed to his liking.
Because he wanted to trace back, he had deliberately gone to the sea and sky to observe the clouds from a distance. After coming to the gear, the first place he chose was the central control room located on the fourth underground floor that he actually experienced last time.
Yesterday afternoon, Ronan had already seen that the central control room had been renovated and a new operating console had been installed with a holographic projection display. At this time, the equipment was in standby mode and only two or three electronic lights were flashing.
Standing in front of the operating table, the memory in Ronan's mind was like a turning tide at the mouth of the sea, surging passionately, making the originally short scene as vast and long as the vast space it presented.
Even though it was a soul body, Ronan still instinctively took a deep breath:
"Come on, it's time to witness the miracle!"
Ronan's mind touched the control console and extended his force to the inner layer to capture the feeling in his memory.
The console was cold, the electronic lights flickered, and then...no response.
Ronan waited for a full twenty seconds before he was sure that his traceback attempt had met with the most ruthless failure.
"how come?"
Ronan still remembered the experience that day, and the whole process of being moved from the central control room to the tree hole a thousand meters away.
He remembered that at that time he saw the control console that was bombed into rubble, and that guy called the tank destroyed the fire security module. He tried to reactivate it and used external neurons to directly connect to the underlying system. When he connected the energy module, suddenly there were chaotic clouds flying... Huh?
Yes, external neurons!
Ronan's soul circled around five or six times, but it was still difficult to relieve his annoyance. He was really confused. In the situation at that time, the external neuron was most likely the lead and the key. If not, wouldn't it be possible for anyone to come in and get a glimpse of the astonishing secret of the gear?
The mother who designed the gear back then, and the one with external neurons, used this idea as insurance, which was the most reasonable choice.
I just wanted to open the treasure, but I forgot the key at home.
Well, this time is for nothing, I will look for an opportunity next time... Wait, it is only 4:30 in the morning, there is still time, with the speed of his soul body, he can definitely fight back and forth!
As soon as he thought about it, Ronan's soul body flew upwards, passed through the layers of earth, stone and metal structures, and jumped directly to the sky above the gear building.
"Well?"
Ronan originally wanted to leave immediately, but when his soul body shuttled inside the building, he suddenly felt something: the chill lingering in the air seemed to be cut off from the soul body in many places, rippling with microwaves. It was a wonderful feeling.
Ronan couldn't help but think of the earlier question.
The soul body stopped, and the spiritual induction naturally covered the entire building, taking the entire structure of the gear into his heart.
The wonders of gears seem to be endless. On the outside, it is a small part seamlessly embedded in the pattern of heaven and earth; on the inside, there are also subtle and exquisite components that together form a harmonious whole.
According to Ronan's recent study direction, it can probably be described as a precision-operated mechanical system.
For many days, Ronan kept observing and roughly identified each of the relatively independent areas inside this building, including the central control room, underground laboratory, above-ground laboratory, activity room, and patio. Mechanical components realize their respective functions.
The machinery is constantly running, but each component is fixed. This raises a question: If the components don't move, what does?
Faced with this problem, a serious engineer might go crazy, but Ronan has been continuously influenced by the way of thinking in this world for many days, so he naturally turned to another line of thinking:
If the component does not move, then what moves is some kind of ordinary force.
The cultural classes I took during this period also involved some occult knowledge, such as Eastern formations, Western magic formations, and other similar things. People with abilities can use materials, temperature, air pressure, terrain, etc. to activate the air mechanism and build a wonderful structure that is "form-condensed and aerodynamic"
Researchers from the association even attached the legendary "Eight Arrays of Wuhou" as a reference.
Ronan didn't care about the Eight-Array Diagram that said "the stone will not turn when the river flows". He was just driven by the new idea. He flew up a distance, looked down from the air, scanned the gear building from the inside to the outside, and re-scanned the numbers. Go over and over to open up ideas.
He was thinking: Isn't that chill growing secretly just Qi?
According to what I learned from Zhai Gong in the past few days, a general mechanical system should have a prime mover to provide power, a working part to realize the function, a transmission device to effectively connect the power and working parts, and then the control operation part and other parts. Auxiliary parts.
It is really difficult for an unsophisticated engineer apprentice like Ronan to distinguish the wonderfully designed and integrated mechanical structure. However, there is flowing Qi, not to mention where it is transmitted, where it is accumulated, and where it is transmitted. He still has some judgment about where to perform work.
At that moment, Ronan's mental induction followed the cold air, inside and outside, and went back and forth several times, eliminating the "components" one by one, gradually narrowing the scope until the westernmost side of the gear.
This is a "patio" with a diameter of twelve meters and a depth of fifty meters.
According to Ronan's perception, although the sources of the layers of cold energy are different, in the end, almost all of them accumulate here and take action. Therefore, the sound of "tick-tick-tick" is the clearest here.
Ronan's soul sank directly into the patio area. Entering it and sensing it with the answer in mind, it turns out that the spiritual pressure flowing through the air machine is much higher than that in other parts of the building. When the soul body cuts in, ripples clearly ripple on the spiritual level, just like stones thrown into a deep well.
With this "throw", Ronan confirmed that the Qi accumulated here was delicate and subtle. And the facts also told him that if he didn't get out of his body and greatly improve the sensing accuracy, he might not be able to capture the changes.
However, what happens after the energy savings turn around?
Why does Ronan have the impression of "deep well"? It is because compared to the number of Qi machines accumulated, there seems to be something missing in the courtyard. There is a lack of order to control the Qi machines, and the final element is missing.
Is it an external neuron, or...
Suspended in the middle of the patio, Ronan meditated for a moment and suddenly gave his soul body a blessing. With his current ability, doing the relevant blessings was as easy as drinking cold water. The visualization figure composed of a regular tetrahedron and an inscribed and circumscribed sphere immediately appeared in the void, wrapping the soul body in it.
When this group of graphics appeared in the courtyard, Ronan discovered that the slightly cold air around him was stirred!
Their flow is accelerating, passing through and coiling inside and outside the figure, moving step by step.
With the stirring "pole", the accumulated Qi becomes much more orderly and solidified. In particular, some scattered information is grouped together and becomes logical.
There is a way!
As his sense of the movement of the qi machine became clearer and clearer, Ronan's mental sense was even painted with a touch of color: a slightly gray light gradually filled in.
Ronan is no stranger to this.
Over the past week, no matter what he experienced that day, whether he was half asleep, half awake, or in silence, this kind of light and color entwined his memory, reminding him of the existence of a "magical world."
