MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 1550 "simulation"

A new control center is being built in the hinterland of Tarash Plain. This control center is directly connected to the underground Ophelia Matrix. The newly designed information transmission system cooperates with the advanced computing array left over from the Gondor era. It is used to handle huge computing tasks, including the sending and receiving of signals to a large number of runestone nodes in the deep blue network, including the real-time control of the energy circulation over the planet, and the processing of massive data exchanges between the parent star barrier and the neural network.

However, the control center in the center of Tarash Plain is not the only "brain" of the parent star barrier. In the Sorin Plain and the Elf Royal Court, two other backup control centers are about to start construction. These control centers have complete functions. And rely on the neural network to coordinate with each other, and the distributed structure of the neural network itself ensures that all communication channels can maintain multiple redundant links at the same time, which ensures that even in the worst case, even one or two The constellation control center has been severely damaged and completely offline, and the operation of the parent star barrier will not stop.

Ophelia stood silently on a platform next to the control center, her eyes watching the busy construction site in front of her, but the parallel threads in her mind were not only concerned with the scenery in front of her.

Deep in the center of the crater, the deep blue well hits the ancient source of surging energy. A shaft penetrates straight into the ground. After passing through layers of armor, rocks, soil, and enchanted barriers, the end of the shaft is a large experimental facility. .

This huge laboratory is surrounded by several spherical shell-like barriers. The thick soil and rocks keep it away from the intelligent creatures on the surface. Inside the laboratory, large facilities like obsidian obelisks are neatly arranged around them. Looking at a circular platform in the center of the room, this scene is like some kind of strange sacrifice ground, as if countless silent black stone priests are surrounding an invisible **** on the platform. However, this strange facility is like some kind of cult scene, But it is the crystallization of the most advanced technology in the world at present, and it is the "eyes" of Loren mortals to spy on the truth of the magic tide.

Magic Tide Simulator, the most daring creation of the Ophelia Matrix More than 700 years ago, a faint magic tide "front tremor" swept across the planet, sweeping across Gondor at that time like a gust of air on the edge of a storm Empire, but even if it was just a faint "air flow", it had the power to destroy a season of civilization at that time. In the face of this crisis, the God of Light detonated the Deep Blue Well, annihilating with its own humanity and more than half of the population of Gondor. At the cost of extinction, the "front tremor" was blocked, and the boundless scorched earth centered on the Tarash Plain was left.

And in the depths of this scorched earth, a set of sensors that persisted in operation after the big bang left a precious relic to the world, which recorded the "shadow" of the magic tide in that wisp of air.

The Noi people have the legacy left by the pioneers. They know how to build the unification field of mind, and they also know how to observe the magic tide to obtain the "calibration parameters" of the unified field, but they have never really "controlled" the sample of the magic tide in their hands. Therefore, they have no way to verify whether the technology in their hands can really work; the Loren Alliance does not have such a pioneer group, nor does it have the technology to observe the magic tide, but the alliance has this precious sample, so what about the combination of the two?

Before the arrival of the magic tide, the Lorens can first confirm whether the mental unity field is useful in the laboratory, and they can even carry out secondary calibration and correction to this system, which is not even the "pioneers" of the Noi people. do things.

A slight mechanical friction sound came from the direction of the laboratory door, the heavy isolation gate slowly slid open to both sides, and a slender blond figure walked into the laboratory. Consistent appearance, even every hair, every eyelash is indistinguishable.

This is another body activated by the Ophelia Matrix, and there are more than a dozen similar bodies. These "avatars" are distributed throughout the underground fortresses and surface buildings, while processing the Ophelia Matrix. There are a lot of tasks to be faced, although in terms of efficiency, these incarnations that require the actual operation of the matrix are actually not much better than the original Iron Soldiers, but...

Ophelia has begun to gradually like this kind of "hands-on" feeling...

"The whole system is normal," Ophelia walked into the laboratory and looked up at the black obelisk facilities that were neatly arranged like a ceremony scene. A string of parameters quickly flowed through her crystal eyeballs. The air opening next to it began to issue instructions to the system in the laboratory, "The filter wall is ready, the observation unit is in good condition, and the 136th simulation test is about to begin."

There was a low hum in the laboratory, and those silent black obelisks seemed to be suddenly awakened by some invisible force, and the surging energy from the deep blue well was injected into these specially made field effect generators, and It started to jump and resonate between them. The lights on the ceiling seemed to flicker a few times, but in fact the light released by those lights was always constant. It was just that the transmission of light caused by the convergence of powerful energy was a little unusual. Ophelia's eyes were calm. Staring at the obelisks, from the naked eye (although her eyes are not naked), the experimenter can't see any changes in those black devices, and can't see anything between them, but she knows , the whole system has been started and started to run according to the preset program.

The waveform data recorded by the sensor that persisted until the last moment 700 years ago has been recompiled and injected into the system. The field effect array formed by the multiple obelisks will be based on this data, and the magic power of the Deep Blue Well will be used as a blueprint. It transforms into a "wave" similar to a magic tide and focuses on the platform in the center of the laboratory. When the energy reaches a certain intensity and the oscillation waveform completely matches, the result she wants will appear there: simulate the most primitive universe with the wisdom of mortals. a cry.

A deep voice sounded in the laboratory, it was Gao Wen's voice: "How is the situation now?"

"The system is running smoothly, and the data returned by the obelisk array shows that the 'vibration' has been successful," Ophelia reported calmly, "but nothing can be observed with the naked eye, and the 'focus platform' in the laboratory center looks like Very peaceful."

She can't see anything, but this is the normal magic tide. It is something that cannot be observed by the naked eye. Only when the observer is swallowed by its own observer effect can its existence be proved from the side. In terms of it, it is more like a "natural phenomenon that leads to a result", an invisible "factor", so even if the experiment here is successful, nothing will appear on the platform.

Unless it's time to put a poor tester on the platform and see if he'll suddenly be torn apart by the unseen or wiped out by the wrong order of nature.

If it was the beginning of the construction of this laboratory, there was really only one way to observe the experimental results, but in fact now Ophelia and Gawain have a new choice, and the new choice comes from the Noi civilization.

"Activate the observation unit," Gawain's voice came from a corner of the laboratory, "Let's first verify whether the Noi's 'Magic Tide Observation Device' works."

Ophelia nodded, but she didn't see any movement. The matrix had already transmitted new instructions to the laboratory directly through the internal channel. Another humming sound came from the depths of the thick separation wall. After a while, the experiment The wall opposite the room suddenly began to recede to both sides, and the huge device opposite the wall gradually revealed its true appearance.

The magic tide cannot be directly observed with the naked eye, but this does not mean that it really comes and goes in the universe. Knowing that celestial bodies with powerful magic power like stars can actually "interact" with magic tides, just like water flowing through rocks will cause turbulence, and those powerful "magic focus" in cosmic space can also be in chaos. The flow reflects the true gesture of the magic tide.

This process is like a dark room inlaid with countless mirrors, and these mirrors will reflect the flashing figure of an invisible beast.

The Noi people created the "Magic Tide Observation Device" based on this principle, which is used to grab the tail of the Magic Tide. Soon after they got the blueprint of the Magic Tide Observation Device, Gawain and Ophelia Matrix knew what they were looking at. There are solutions to the right problems.

Of course, with the current power of mortals, it is impossible to create a "focus" like a star in the laboratory, and the real magic tide observation device is so large that it even needs to use an ancestor's peak as the "starting focus". It is impossible for the device to be stuffed into the laboratory. On the other hand, Gawain and Ophelia do not need to build a real star and a complete observation lens in the laboratory. They only need to verify whether this process is true. , to verify whether the magic tide really occurs in the simulated environment, and whether the observation device can record its clues, and whether the simulated "mental unity field" can shield the system.

Since the "magic tide" simulated in the laboratory environment did not really sweep any natural celestial bodies, nor did it carry information from the depths of the universe, there is obviously no need to worry about stimulating the gods during this process.

The thick wall was completely opened, and the first thing that caught Ophelia's eyes was a dimly lit hall opposite, and the spherical structure raised high in the center of the hall. The structure was dark red, surrounded by a large number of The mechanical structure, with countless pipes and lattices connected to it, looks hideous and weird.

Around this ferocious and weird mechanical ball, you can see a group of equipment arranged in a circle, which is a small "magic tide observation device".

In order to maximize the success rate of reading data, Ophelia even placed the "simulated stellar focus" directly in the center of the observation device, where it should theoretically be the oscillating focus.

In this way, when the experimental device is activated, the simulated stellar focus in the center will release a uniform magical energy field outward, and the surrounding observation devices will start to continuously record the magical energy parameters in the entire experimental area.

In theory, the values ​​read by each sensor should be exactly the same.

But if the magic tide shock really occurs, then the data recorded by these sensors will have a corresponding offset, even if the magic tide simulation array is located outside the sensor ring, this offset will also occur, this is the magic tide and "Approaching Disturbance" between magical focus points.

While those small sensing devices can't record as many parameters as a real magic tide observation device, it is enough to discern even the tiniest abnormal fluctuations on the central platform of the laboratory after the energy focus appears, which may be very small. Small, as small as a breeze compared to the real power of nature, but Ophelia and Gawain are not very demanding, as long as it "exists".

"The mimetic focus is charging," Ophelia stared at the equipment array in the opposite hall and saw that the mechanical sphere was gradually lighting up, and its dark red lattice structure seemed to be filled with scorching flames. The dimly lit hall was also illuminated by this red light, which was as eerie as a blazing hell, and around the sphere, the circularly arranged observers were also lit up one by one, and began to record environmental parameters, "The observation array began. Focus."

"...hope this really works," Gawain sounded a little worried, "compared to the real stars and the complete observation device, the scale of what we built in the laboratory is too small and too small. "

"But in principle everything is possible," Ophelia's voice sounded as if perpetually calm, "and on the other hand, the real star, despite its size, is far from the observation device. Astronomical numbers. The analog device in the laboratory may be small in scale, but it does not need to sense a target data source that is hundreds of millions of kilometers away. The linear distance between the nearest sensor and the nearest sensor is only 20 meters, which is enough already."

Speaking of this, she paused and added: "Of course, it is enough in theory, I'm afraid that the numerical deviation is even lower than our measurement accuracy..."

"Then we can only build a larger laboratory and build a larger simulation observation device," Gao Wen said, "Actually, the best way is to put the equipment that simulates the magic tide on the space station, and then put the equipment on the space station. After activation, use the sensor array of the Ancestral Peak to irradiate the sun or 'O', but it is too easy to cause the gods to lose control."

"It's not easy, it will definitely lead to loss of control," Ophelia shook her head, "No part of the experiment can be placed outside the atmosphere. This is an absolute limitation, but there is no such limitation on the Noi side. "

"...If our experiments here are still unsuccessful, send the data and blueprints of the corresponding devices to Noi," Gawain pondered briefly and said in a deep voice, "Let them try to see if they can complete this process in space. "

"This is indeed a solution," Ophelia nodded slowly, "it's just..."

She stopped suddenly.

Delicate like a puppet, she raised her head and stared at the hall opposite the laboratory. Those neatly arranged sensors were running silently at the moment, but in her other field of vision, she could directly see those sensors using The "picture" outlined by the data, in that scene, she saw that a uniform force field cloud was being released around the artificial "star focus", and at the edge of this "cloud", pointing to the magic tide simulation. At a certain "point" of the installation, there is a very inconspicuous "spike".

There are three sensors that return parameters that are different from other sensors at almost the same time, with a maximum deviation of no more than 1 in 100,000, but it really tells Ophelia that among the silently arranged black obelisks in the laboratory, Something appeared.

An invisible, intangible, unknowable, and unmeasurable thing was affecting the artificial "simulated star" in the next hall out of thin air, and left a ghostly projection in the energy field it released.
