"First deploy the server, and first understand how to use the black stone. Hmm."
Wen Yuan parted ways with him at the entrance of the state-owned store and happened to stop by. He had something to do in the garage.
While looking at the notes, Shangluo turned a corner and walked back to the door of his house.
"Is it 12 square meters?" Standing at the door, he recalled what Wen Yuan said about "the area of his house."
This alley is one of countless small alleys in the Wutaishan area. The west side is closer to the subway station, and the east side leads to residential streets. There are only 8 unit buildings side by side in the entire alley - in other words, the entire alley is only 8 square meters in length.
"That's really big. A 12-square-meter building must be at least 6 or 7 square meters wide. Apollonia, how big a house is this in Rome?"
[It is already the mansion of a senator. Woohoo~~It’s bigger than the oracle at Delphi. 】
"Is the oracle so small?"
[The Oracle Office is very small to begin with. The ancient Greek building has been in disrepair for a long time. The only usable parts inside are a few dark rooms and the building area is very small. The room I used to stay in was about the same size as your home, so I would say your home is also a mansion. 】
"Say." He looked up above his head - he saw the wires. A dense bundle of wires passed over his head.
There are really too many wires, because the wires in every house are inside and pulled from the poles outside. But Yujing's power supply department has superb attainments in "cable management" technology. So many wires are tightly bundled, and they don't look like wire holes or spider webs at all. If these wires were compared to hair, then this lock of hair would be black and shiny, and neatly taken care of regularly.
San Francisco is a lot messier than here. Shangluo remembered that outside the Acropolis, you could even see "pilled" thread ends, which were clumps of thread formed by the tails of threads cut off from the bus and tangled together. Many skeins of thread are knotted with each other and cannot be sorted out at all.
But it seems quite troublesome if someone always has to sort out the cables on this thing.
【what's on your mind? 】
"I'm thinking about how to build a signal. In terms of wireless communication, there is no big problem in connecting a thousand people. But nationwide communication cannot be completely carried out in the sky, because radio waves have frequency bands. So probably, it is destined to be laid. Base Station But what exactly is the base station of the Spirit Network? Do you have any clues?"
【have no idea. ] Apollonia replied, [You'd better go ask the ancestors. However, you can probably guess some of the characteristics of the spiritual network - there is a thinking method in Buddhism called the 'Zhaan Method', that is, when you cannot confirm what it "is", you can first confirm what it "is not". For example, you can first think about what the spiritual network is not. 】
"So Lingwang, does it have a base station?"
【Hard to say. Maybe, but maybe not. But have you noticed that you are building towers all over the world? As far away as Yangzhou, there are also the pagodas of Songjiang and Baoen Temple nearby. Although many times they are not the same thing at all, they can all be summarized as towers. 】
“How did the Romans do this?”
[I mentioned it to you before. The magic of the Romans often relied on the lamp-burning field of the Mithras Temple. This is actually about Mithraism. Well, before talking about Mithras, do you have any impression of the goddess Cybele? 】
"I found out after talking to Victoria. I had no impression before that."
[In fact, the situation of Cybolite faith and Mithraic faith is similar. Before the Roman Empire established its state religion, there was an era of 'religious market'. Mithras from Persia, Cybele from Phrygia, Isis from Egypt, and Christianity from the desert all competed. As mentioned earlier, the main element of Cybolian belief is festivals, while the main element of Mithraic belief is war. 】
"Is Mithras the God of War?"
[Actually, he is not a complete God of War. But Mithras is the god of contracts. It witnesses everything as the sun in the high sky. It promises rebirth after death, so it is widely believed in by the Roman army. For example, Pompey is a believer in Mithraism - but in reality Although Mithraic belief had long existed in Persia, the main body of Mithraic religion was entirely grown up in Rome itself. The Romans simply invited the god Mithras. 】
"So that's how it was but in the end, it was Christianity that won? Why did Christianity win?"
[Well, I can’t discuss the Mithraic strategy. But it has the consistent characteristics of Persian religion: Believe it or not, it requires your brain to 'turn a corner' to identify with it, but once you do, it will be very firm - of course, this is the Mithras of the past , is not exactly the same person as Mithras Helios now, just like I am the Apollo of this era. But in the end the Mithras lost, and there was something wrong with their sinister behavior. 】
"I seem to have seen something. Mithraic temples are all underground, right? There is obviously a Mithraic temple in Lake Nemi, but I didn't see the shadow of the Mithraic temple after I finished hunting."
[Because Mithraism is sometimes a 'esoteric religion' in the literal sense, the initiation ceremony does not charge you any money, but it is a huge waste of your time. But as mentioned before, Pompey, a high-ranking person in Rome, would seek the comfort of Mithraism, sometimes for the sake of popularity. This led to Mithraism's belief in the Roman army being extremely widespread, extending all the way to the Roman emperor. For example, Emperor Diocletian and Emperor Aurelian. Therefore, the distribution of Mithras is quite wide. Oh, by the way, I don't know if you know about Mithraism here. 】
"Mithras has come to us before? Where?"
[Mithras of Rome is Mithras of Persia, Mitra of Vedic religion, and Maitreya. Yes, Mithra is Maitreya, which has exactly the same meaning, but the pronunciation is different. 】
"Maitreya??? I have been dealing with Maitreya Buddha before?"
[No, Maitreya Buddha is something in the future, Maitreya has not yet been reborn. The current Mithras are just the current Mithras. You are not dealing with Maitreya Buddha. 】
"Co-authored, the White Lotus Sect's Inanimate Old Mother, Vacuum Hometown, Maitreya's Rebirth, and Longhua Dharma Assembly, these are all."
[Yes, it looks very abrupt, right? In fact, this is the savior who promises the apocalypse, and this is what the Longhua Dharma Assembly is like. Well, you didn't expect that Mithras has actually been here. So if you want to find a way to maintain the spiritual network, you can actually consult his opinion when the time comes. After all, he was in charge of the lighting field in Rome. 】
