Tsk, that’s real.
The Hidden Veil and the Silent Veil are also products of mysterious civilization, and have the same origin as the God-binding Hoop.
In terms of form, it was somewhat beyond Ronan's expectation. Can this kind of fabric object be considered a "spiritual core"?
Although Ronan was able to use the magical power of the "I" secret talisman to guess at random, he was ultimately missing the foundation. He really couldn't understand the series of coding rules and characters on it. But the name of the designer and namer can vaguely understand the literal meaning:
The first character, according to the concept on this side of the earth, roughly means "pillar" or "pillar"; the second character seems to mean seclusion or a house.
How to translate it? Liang...Liang Yin? Liangwu? Liang Lu?
This is it!
It would be more pleasing to the eye when translated as "Liang Lu".
Ronan had a sense of accomplishment like a "translator", but this feeling soon disappeared. Because no matter what the name of this person is translated into, and no matter who "Liang Lu" is, when this piece of information appears, the originally fast analysis progress suddenly came to a standstill.
The index has been created and the direction is clear, but the corresponding information cannot be opened at all...
Of course Ronan noticed the word "non-public", but he didn't take it seriously at first. After all, the external neurons were all in his hands, so what did it matter if they were internal or not?
Now it seems that the situation is not simple.
The progress stalled for about half a minute, probably because the internal logic had detoured, and finally a new round of information appeared in the window:
"Warning! The search content exceeds the permissions of the basic database, and the system automatically starts the permission detection process."
Ronan's eyelids twitched twice as he caught words like "authority" and "detection", and he instinctively had a bad premonition. He subconsciously comforted himself:
The more restricted the information, the more precious it should be... right?
The virtual brain system strictly follows the established settings:
"The core configuration properties are being detected... The core configuration fusion replacement process has been detected, and the temporary ownership change has been completed.
"Permission detection has been completed and the holder currently has permission:
“Ownership: Temporary.
"Knowledge review: professional level (to be tested).
"Resource call: sergeant rank (to be tested).
"Tianyuan Network: None (not connected to the Internet).
"Warning! The holder has insufficient authority, the index has been cleared, and the corresponding data has entered a special protection program."
"Hello!"
Ronan blurted out, causing Snake Yu and Yin Le to look sideways. He had no idea at all. He only shuttled his thoughts through the virtual brain system and pressed it. But after one round of operations, not to mention the progress, even the information items about "Liang Lu" in the pop-up window had even analyzed most of the hidden secrets. The veil and the image of the silent veil were all wiped clean.
It was as if nothing had happened before.
"...What the hell is Temporary!"
Ronan laughed angrily.
It's been half a year since I got the external neuron, but Ronan only found out today that he was just the temporary holder? If one day you meet the rightful owner, will you be able to escape from your mind and return the property to its original owner with a wave of your hand?
Luo Zhongheng, my dear father, this is what you gave your son as a birthday gift!
But Ronan's smile was also genuine.
The external neurons are amazing, and the virtual brain system is amazing, but just because they are "amazing", they seem too profound and mysterious. The knowledge contained in it seems to be endless to study in a lifetime.
Ronan worked very hard, but even if he devoured and digested the information inside, the "water level" still did not drop at all. He still couldn't find any traces unique to his parents and grandfather.
Nowadays, sudden restrictions, while causing trouble, also indicate a trend:
Ronan touched the inner core of the external neurons.
He inadvertently found clues and directions.
"How about doing it all over again?"
Ronan's thoughts wandered in the virtual brain interface that had been cleaned up by the "special protection program". He wouldn't mind doing a few more rounds of testing. In this case, let alone a few rounds, he would be happy with dozens or hundreds of rounds.
External neurons are more direct than imagined.
The next second, a new pop-up window popped up, and the priority had exceeded the system settings specially changed by Ronan.
Because it comes with must-do options:
"Will the rights confirmation review process be started?"
Censorship?
This word is quite overbearing. Could it be that the translation is to blame?
Ronan's grin became even more obvious. Even if the system gave him the opportunity to choose "yes" or "no", he only had one way:
To dig out the secrets of external neurons, to trace the past of my grandfather and parents, and the one who may be dead, but there is still a glimmer of hope...
You can’t say it, it won’t work if you say it!
Ronan forced himself to stop his thoughts and took a deep breath.
Paper-like soft screens, external neurons, virtual brain systems... layer by layer, what will be next?
He stabbed with his mind and directly chose "yes".
The stagnant state of the virtual brain interface was completely broken, and the information window was refreshed again:
“The rights confirmation review process has started.
"The genetic data of the owner has not been entered into the database and has been automatically transferred to the 'Century Sequence'. The general education proficiency test system has been opened. The transcript has been queried and the scores are being entered."
Wait, transcript?
When did I answer the paper?
No, I answered it before, but it was clearly marked "simulation" and was for practicing and answering questions!
Obviously, the virtual brain system and the authority confirmation review process will not wait for him, nor will they listen to his explanation. After half a second, the evaluation results came out:
"Faculty of Culture, no grades; Faculty of Sociology, no grades; Faculty of Skills, no grades; Faculty of True Instructions, specialization in Structure, Level 1 General Studies in Creation. Overall grade failed."
Ronan's heart sank, and the information was refreshed again:
"The subject specialization meets the additional conditions, and the specialization bonus is being calculated... The general knowledge question bank is not weighted enough, the additional question bank data is being called out, and the specialization direction is being evaluated;
"The direction is determined to be 'Space-Time Configuration', and the difficulty of the additional questions is determined to be 'Space-Time Configuration' Specialization Level 3. It can be adjusted down to Specialization Level 2, or it can be raised to Level 1. The test questions are being drawn."
I really need to take the exam!
Ronan swallowed, a little nervous.
If he understood correctly, "general knowledge", "specialization", and "ladder to heaven" are the levels of knowledge in this mysterious civilization.
The previous system also had a "noncommissioned officer rank", which looked like a judgment of social authority, similar to the "SCA" on Earth.
It’s not easy to make random guesses about how a mysterious civilization is judged. However, on the SCA side, once the authority is leveled and you want to improve it, you have to spend a lot of money and win purely with capital power; otherwise, you can only accumulate credit little by little. and contribution, falling behind step by step...
"Warning! No corresponding test questions were found in the local question bank, and the Tianyuan mirror system was automatically connected. The link relay signal was not connected... the signal was connected... the link was disconnected.
"Warning! The link signal strength is extremely weak and cannot be connected.
“The entitlement review process failed.”
With a "bang" sound, Ronan's fist fell down, causing the tatami to collapse.
Sheyu and Yin Le were both stunned on the spot.
Ronan's yelling and laughing was already very weird before, but now his anger is even more unreasonable.
Yin Le wanted to ask, but at this moment, the "monocle lens" floating in front of Ronan's left eye seemed to have problems again, with fine cracks opening up, and it looked like it might break at any time.
From Yin Le's perspective, he seemed to see the cold, poisonous snake's vertical pupils again, filled with a strong sense of inhumanity.
In an instant, all the courage to speak was gone.
Both Yin Le and Snake Yu lowered their eyes, bowed their backs, and only stared at the tatami beneath them, like sculptures.
So they didn't see that behind the cracked lenses again, Ronan's gloomy face changed subtly.
Ronan felt that the "lens" was slightly heated.
The elements that stimulate it are unexpectedly very far away, far behind numerous time and space barriers, in the fog maze "tree hole" space where the "lens" body is located.
Right there, the torrent of information from all corners of the fog maze is still so chaotic and violent, but as the "lens" at the center of the "tree hole", the efficiency of filtering the corresponding information has been significantly accelerated, and the corresponding consumption has been significantly accelerated. It has also increased significantly, so much so that it has affected the time and space of the earth.
It seems that some clues have been exposed!
Ronan stretched out his hand to touch the lens. The already extremely fragile structure really couldn't withstand it. It shattered instantly, turned into light water vapor, and disappeared.
Ronan didn't care about this at all. His attention was divided into two streams. One stream returned to the "tree hole" space, and the other stream stayed in the virtual brain system. Then he saw that the information window of the virtual brain system was undergoing a new round of refresh, and the previous steps were repeated:
"The rights confirmation review process is started, the Tianyuan mirror system is linked, the relay signal is linked, the signal is not linked..."
Relay signal?
How could there be such a coincidence?
Think about the origin of the external neuron. The signal it is actively connecting to must be closely related to the chaotic information flow in the fog maze!
Ronan suddenly stood up. Such a big move made both Sheyu and Yin Le look up. Ronan was in no mood to pay attention to them, so he turned around and walked towards the master bedroom.
In just two steps, Ronan had already turned around a lot of ideas: functions such as signal reception and network linking, I think there are setting options...
found it!
Ronan quickly found the specific settings of the signal link in the virtual brain system and brought up the detailed visualization window.
On an interface that is half-understood, detailed information about signal strength is clearly presented. I can’t understand the specific professional units of measurement, but the thermometer-style bar graphics, graded nodes, and corresponding color configurations can be understood by any fool.
Not to mention the above, the black area at the bottom and the adjacent red area obviously refer to no signal and low signal.
The pointer representing signal strength is hovering between two areas without any sign of improvement.
There are still too many interfering factors in Earth's space and time. We need to go back!
The sound of wood friction sounded, and the bamboo-paper lattice sliding door of the master bedroom sensed his arrival and opened automatically.
Ronan strode in, and before the sliding door could be closed again, his figure couldn't wait to enter the "sandwich realm" conversion process, and disappeared like a bubble in front of Snake Yu and Yin Le.
The sliding door is closed.
After five or six seconds, Yin Le finally let out the breath that was held in his throat and smiled unconsciously, which was self-regulation:
"Finally...the yacht is okay."
Okay, that's not funny at all.
Ronan passed through the "Sandwich Realm" and jumped directly into the "Tree Hole" space of the fog maze.
As soon as you enter, the noise belonging to the material world disappears. The sound of wind, water, breathing, and the low hum of the yacht's motor were all wiped out.
However, it is not quiet here. On one level, this side is noisier and more chaotic. The torrent of information from the depths of the fog maze, 99% of which has no rules, just pours in like a swarm.
Human beings are essentially empirical animals, relying on experience to generate imagination and construct basic cognitive logic. For information that cannot be included in the category of experience, just ignore it at all. If you force yourself to figure it out and deal with it for a long time, it will never be as interesting as what Ronan told Ruiwen before.
When working in "Tree Hole", calmness, peace and patience are the most basic requirements.
Therefore, Ronan suppressed the boredom in his heart and walked slowly around the body of the central "lens" twice in a small space. During this period, he took several deep breaths to adjust his condition.
Two minutes later, he relocated to the information window of the virtual brain system. Then I saw that compared with the yacht, the signal strength indicator was slightly improved...
Slightly.
The number of times it reaches the black area has been significantly reduced, but most of the time, it still floats in the red area, which means it is still in a "weak signal" state.
Moreover, probably because the link failed too many times, the system also popped up a pop-up window asking whether to abort. Fortunately, Ronan had already prepared himself mentally. Although he was a little disappointed, he still refused decisively.
"Calm down, the situation is getting better." Ronan said to himself.
Things need to be considered from two aspects.
At present, the "tree hole" does not form a significant gain in the signal link to external neurons, but what about the other way around?
What impact will signal links have on "tree holes"?
Ronan projected his thoughts onto the "lens". Affected by the interference of soul power, the "lens" gradually deforms and colors from a transparent crystal state, forming a nebula-like structure.
The so-called "nebula" is partly a reflection of real information; but a considerable part also reflects Ronan's processing and understanding of the collected information.
In Ronan's mind, the fog maze is divided into two levels:
One layer is inside and one layer is outside.
The outer layer is the broken space where Ronan and Gong Qi once moved and fought. Billions of realm fragments "float" in it, forming a violent, vast, and unpredictable "sandstorm." He no longer has the ability to construct rules. With Ronan's ability, he can arrange and combine them relatively calmly.
Ronan can do it, and the local space-time where the earth is located, with its huge gravitational rules, can certainly do it. Therefore, a part of the "outer layer" area is constructed into the "cloud world".
In this sense, the "outer layer" of the fog maze is also dependent on the earth's local time and space. Therefore, in the cloud world, its natural environmental conditions are not much different from those on the earth, reflecting the dependence on rules.
However, the direction of Ronan's research has never been on the "outer layer" - according to his understanding, the so-called "outer layer" is just the "waste" thrown out, a mystery that obscures the reality.
The most valuable thing about the Mist Maze, or its true appearance, is only the deepest "inner" area, the unknown structural core.
From the long-term observation results reflected in the "double helix" pattern of his father, as well as the comparison of Ronan's observations in the past few days, it is almost certain:
In the core area, there are two rule systems colliding.
The violent conflict caused the space-time environment to be greatly distorted and fractured. The intensity was beyond imagination, and it also formed overlapping barriers, obscuring the true appearance of the core area.
Such an extreme environment is too difficult to observe. At least until six years ago, his father had never succeeded.
The products of the "Tree Hole Project" have also changed from sails traveling across the ocean to satellites for orbiting and detecting. A large part of Luo Zhongheng's later energy was spent analyzing the signals emitted from the "galaxy collision" area.
For Ronan, the "tree hole" was already very high-end, but faced with the complex environment in the core area, it turned into an old-fashioned radio. As the controller, Ronan can only constantly "manually" adjust the coverage in order to obtain a clearer and more accurate signal. There is no other more efficient method.
The problem is that even if the old-fashioned radio operates "manually" down to the bottom and goes back and forth with only a few circuits and components, the audio signals it receives have clearer rules and order.
Ronan controls the "Tree Hole". Needless to say the complexity of the basic construction, he also needs to mobilize all his attention to capture the flow of information from all levels and dimensions, and sort out logical clues from the chaos...
Ronan is also thinking about a more efficient analysis method, and wants to find an automated or semi-automatic analysis method, so that these details that must be sensed by the power of the soul can be converted into information that can be collected and analyzed by instruments at the material level.
He wanted to start with "creation", but his idea was not particularly clear. And at this moment, the "signal link" of the external neurons is like a beam of light in the dark...
This description is a bit disgusting, but it fits the essence.
With the endorsement of his father, the relationship between the external neurons and the fog maze is obvious. Just couldn't find a more substantial connection - until the "signal link" appeared.
Ronan was almost certain that the signals received by the external neurons came from the "core area" of the fog maze; the most important thing was that such signals must have some rules and order that could be interpreted.
At present, Ronan is still not clear about the details. He cannot sense the signals that can be sensed by external neurons. He is also confused about the logic of signal analysis by external neurons.
Just like ordinary people cannot detect electromagnetic waves that penetrate the body all the time, corresponding electronic products can make full use of them.
What does this mean?
Thinking about the worst, this is still knowing it but not knowing why, and the problem still cannot be fundamentally solved;
But on the bright side, this meant that Ronan had touched another dimension of information. Even if you don't understand the logic inside, you can filter the information in a certain direction based on the link status displayed by the system.
Even though this kind of screening is destined to be a "lucky one" type, it greatly increases the probability of success.
In terms of personality, Ronan has the bad temper of a researcher and some philosophical idealism. He wants to get to the bottom of everything and always wants to integrate a "universal truth" that applies to everything.
But today, he is going to make a return to consequentialism.
He doesn't care what the signal receiving module embedded in the external neuron is or what its analysis logic is. He only wants the virtual brain system to display the words "Link Successful"!
At this time, skills and theory have to take a back seat, and what is needed is patience and strength.
Ronan rolled up his sleeves and patted both cheeks vigorously:
"Let's do it!"
Facts have proven that once a person is "on axis", he has no concept of time at all. During this period, Ronan devoted all his attention to the "manual operation" of the "Tree Hole" and to segmenting, classifying and interfering with the torrent of information.
It is difficult for him to capture the exclusive characteristics of the so-called "relay signal", so he can only constantly select, slice, compare and filter from the information flood.
Even if it cannot increase the signal strength, it can in turn reduce it. As long as there is a means that can determine the impact on the "relay signal", he will search for it, test it, and make further attempts.
Of course, you have to keep records.
Because it is something on the sensory level, many of which are completely subtle and indescribable. Ronan really cannot understand the logic. In addition to text, quantitative analysis, and structural diagrams, what he recorded also contains a large number of strange lines, outlines, and colors. category, which is a reaction to some immediate feelings, emotions, and impressions.
Because of this, Ronan, who has always adhered to the classical realistic painting style, must shift towards modern and post-modern directions. Later, when I looked at the workspace interface, it was like a psychic diagram that even Ronan himself couldn't understand.
Come back, he still has to bite the bullet to recall and analyze.
Going back and forth like this, switching instantly between the dual realms of logic and feeling, Ronan is highly sensitive to information changes, but correspondingly, in other aspects, he is slow or even numb.
But "numbness" also has its limits.
Somehow, Ronan suddenly felt dizzy, and his brain went blank for a moment. For a moment, he instinctively wanted to retrace his previous thoughts and search for the records in the work area, but the hand he stretched out was clearly trembling, and sweat flowed down his wrist, all the way to his elbow, and then dripped down.
"Why is it so hot?"
Ronan muttered, then realized that he was already covered in sweat and his body was very wet with oil. More importantly, the feeling of fatigue, both mental and physical, quickly became clear.
This is not a good sign. For people like Ronan who are at risk of "physical and spiritual imbalance", fatigue and loss of strength are more serious threats than direct injury.
Just like this sultry feeling, there seems to be a huge heat source around the "tree hole", and the radiated heat is constantly increasing. But according to Ronan's perception, the material level did not really heat up, it was more like a psychological effect. This sign was not good... like mental and physical exhaustion, the instability of the physical and spiritual structure caused hallucinations, and triggered physical reactions.
Ronan shook his head and paused his thinking, but he still couldn't help but look at the signal interface of the virtual brain system.
The strength pointer is still floating in the red range. Although it is far away from "black", it is still some distance away from the upper "light orange".
"Hey!" Ronan sighed.
As for the window refresh information...
"The signal has been linked, the rights confirmation review process has been started, and the Tianyuan mirror system is waking up."
"……Huh?"
Ronan's thinking stagnated again at this moment. A thousandth of a second later, a cry of "Ahhhhh" burst out from his throat, something like "fatigue", "hallucination", "imbalance of body and soul"... All rolled aside.
He didn't even care about the refreshing results of the window interface. Instead, he turned around and stabilized the current status of the "tree hole" and "lens" immediately, and frantically recorded the current specific structure and sensory information.
For a time, Ronan had to record, stabilize, and continue to make slight adjustments without knowing whether the direction was correct or not. He was like a blindfolded clown riding a unicycle and throwing throwing knives. He was so busy that he almost Vomiting blood.
But the facts after tens of seconds proved that his reaction was correct.
The strength of the signal was still fluctuating in the red range, neither getting better nor worse; the link effect was of course unstable and was interrupted more than once. Thanks to Ronan for capturing some basic data at that moment, it was even indescribable. It felt like I had to grit my teeth and adjust it, just to barely stay at that "frequency".
After one operation, the signal link finally maintained a stable state for a long time...about two minutes? It was only then that Ronan, who was almost exhausted, had the opportunity to distract himself from the refreshed window information.
Maybe, we really got into the deep content of external neurons!
In the stream of information scrolling through the window, there are a large number of professional vocabulary that are half-understood. There are some special nouns. Under the translation of the secret symbol "I", I vaguely know what they mean, but I can't find the corresponding description anyway.
Fortunately, there are finally some relatively friendly character paragraphs mixed in:
"The Tianyuan mirror system is partially awakened.
"In preparation for the confirmation review, the signal link strength is insufficient, and the interactive test is at risk of interruption.
"Warning, once the interactive test is interrupted, the authority review and confirmation will fail. A second test cannot be conducted within XX (time unit).
"It is recommended to enhance the signal, or choose to download it locally and enter offline test mode.
"Would you like to take the offline quiz?"
Oh, how considerate!
It seems that the person who established the review process also considered the various possibilities of "signal conditions".
The interactive test is definitely not an option. The current signal strength does not give anyone any confidence. The Mist Maze is a turbulent environment from its roots. With the current signal strength, it is too easy to fall.
Then, choose to download it locally!
"Warning, according to the review process, the difficulty of the offline test will be increased by one level."
"..."
Ronan slapped his forehead, but chose yes without hesitation - for him, this was the only answer.
Soon, a progress bar appeared on the virtual brain interface, which was nothing new. But as long as it persists, Ronan will be satisfied.
Judging from the display of the progress bar, it seems that the speed is not slow? After observing it for about five minutes, it seemed that it had crawled to a 100% degree...
Without stopping, the signal was interrupted again.
Ronan spat out "I'm sorry".
But no matter how agitated the mood is, the movement and analysis of mental power cannot be messed up at all, and the sweat drips from the eyes without wiping them away.
Fortunately, after another operation, the signal strength returned to an acceptable level, the link was re-established, and the completed progress seemed not to be lost.
It seems that the basic resume function is still available.
Ronan was really about to collapse. He sat down and leaned against the inner wall of the "tree hole", breathing heavily.
Time passed like this bit by bit, during which Ronan kept wiping his sweat, but it was endless. There seems to be something wrong with the body's metabolism.
In the final analysis, I am still too tired. His physical and mental state has reached the limit. If he continues, he will just light a lamp and boil oil, which will not do any good.
Looking at the progress bar, it will take at least ten hours before the download is almost complete. This requires that the signal link is always stable.
According to the current state of consumption, Ronan will definitely not be able to survive that time. He needs to rest, otherwise the physical and spiritual framework will be out of control due to loss of strength. Even if the download is completed, he will not be alive to take the test.
After weighing things up in his mind, Ronan gritted his teeth and conducted two more experiments to confirm that under the current state of the "tree hole", the signal link strength was indeed stable within a certain range.
Although the data download is still intermittent, even if it is ignored, it can be reconnected in a few seconds or a few minutes, and the progress loss is within an acceptable range.
"Stay steady!"
Ronan cheered himself up and made some mental adjustments to stabilize his mind and get some sleep. But when he leaned against the real inner wall and lowered his eyes, less than two seconds later, he opened them again.
"No!"
Ronan is aware of his family affairs. Unconsciously, the physical and spiritual framework adjusts itself, which will interfere with the time and space environment involved in his field. Not to mention the precise environment of a "tree hole", which requires stable signal reception at all times. If you fall asleep here, all your efforts may be wasted when you wake up.
It's better to avoid it. How to avoid it?
Ronan grabbed his wet hair and thought about it for a long time. The last time he hit his forehead, and when he raised his hand again, there was clearly a slender and brilliant electric fire pinched between his fingertips.
He took out the external neuron and carefully placed this incredible object next to the "lens" to make it float naturally.
Since acquiring this rare object, Ronan has cherished it very much and rarely let it be exposed to the outside. However, the "Tree Hole" is no longer outside, it is part of Ronan's own domain construction.
There is no essential difference between here and inside his head. However, in this way, Ronan can use the time and space barrier to create a buffer zone to avoid direct interference from the adjustment of the physical and spiritual framework, which is a strategy that has the best of both worlds.
Now... distance yourself!
Ronan returned to earth's time and space again and looked at the light outside the porthole. It should be late at night. He didn't care about the specific time at all.
When he stepped on the tatami in the master bedroom cabin, Ronan's legs and feet were weak. By accident, his left foot stumbled over his right foot, causing him to sit directly on the ground, and then he rolled over.
The feeling of fatigue and weakness completely penetrated his limits. He had never been so tired during the battle with Gong Qi.
After a final confirmation, after multiple time and space barriers, the "download progress" of the external neurons was still continuing, and Ronan quickly fell into a coma.
"Actually, I should take a shower..."
This was his last thought.
