Shang Jianyao didn't care that there was "Zhuang Sheng" Du Heng in front of him, and slapped his palms and said:
"So the permission refers to this!
"That guy Wu Meng just refuses to speak human language!"
Du Heng didn't care about Shang Jianyao's casual interject, and said with a slightly self-deprecating smile:
"At that time, we were all dizzy with joy, thinking that we had really passed the stairs and stepped into the forbidden area of the gods, and we would live forever from now on."
"I now believe that Wu Meng is your student." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.
They are all in the same tone, the only difference is that Wu Meng often knows what it is and does not know why, and tries to "integrate" the Tao into his life.
Du Heng laughed:
"We spent a lot of time thinking about our titles, and we agreed that we couldn't just use the title of god, which was too tacky.
"You know, I like games very much, I found inspiration from the game, and decided to use 'Zhi Sui' to refer to our group of gods, and then choose the corresponding month to be in charge......"
"Isn't it because the 'last man' occupies a position?" Shang Jianyao asked in surprise.
"No." Du Heng shook his head.
Shang Jianyao sighed for a while:
"If I were the 'truth' and knew that the real reason was this, I would definitely die."
"But in a sense, it is indeed the 'last man' who occupies that position." Du Heng thought for a while.
As long as "truth" becomes the year of the ruler in a way that replaces the "last man", there is no such thing as not being able to correspond strictly and lose the beauty of mathematics and settings.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao was persuaded and sincerely praised, "As expected of a senior gamer, he values the beauty of the setting so much."
As for the beauty of mathematics, he can't experience it.
Du Heng did not continue the topic, and said with emotion under the large number of lights that flashed quickly:
"At the same time, I also like Taoist culture very much, so I gave myself the title of 'Zhuangsheng', and they also changed their names to 'Bodhi', 'Shuangri', and 'Siming' according to their own ideas......"
"If I can become a deceased, what should I call it? ' Hey' is too unserious...... how about 'fate'?" Shang Jianyao fell into embarrassment.
Du Heng didn't answer his question, his eyes showed a bit of vicissitudes:
"People are selfish, and after passing the initial adaptation stage, we plan to monopolize the 'forbidden area of the gods' and prevent others from becoming the ruler.
"To this end, we took advantage of the special characteristics of the 'New World' to jointly establish the 'Hall of Stars', manifesting everyone's 'spiritual world' and 'ocean of consciousness' into the 'sea of origin', and connecting the 'sea of origins' by creating the 'spiritual corridor'."
"What happened to the gate of the 'New World'?" Shang Jianyao was quite curious about this.
Du Heng said "heh":
"Of course, we also opened the door to the 'new world', which is both a trap and an opportunity.
"We can control that door to appear in any room of the 'Mind Corridor' and give hints that make people feel familiar and have the courage to continue exploring.
"As long as any of us are willing, we can let the Awakened Person who has just entered the 'Mind Corridor' see the door directly, but when pushing, we need to consume additional energy and give a certain amount of help, otherwise the strength of the 'Mind Corridor' Awakened person at that level is not enough, and we must explore the depths and improve ourselves in order to easily open the door with our own strength.
"And coming to the 'new world' is equivalent to fully accepting our management, and you can't make waves again, let alone become a ruler."
Shang Jianyao expressed confusion:
"Why do you say it's still an opportunity?"
This is a clear trap!
"Without this door we provide, humanity can only reach half of the 'New World' level at present." Du Heng explained simply, "Do you think that the amplification and enhancement of brain waves can have such a strong electromagnetic manipulation effect, and can even interfere with matter? Only by being in the 'Spiritual Corridor' and 'New World' can we take advantage of the special here to do things that seem ordinary at present."
Shang Jianyao's focus deviated again, he rubbed his chin and said:
"In other words, even if there is no 'Hall of Stars', no 'Spiritual Corridor', and no gate, normal awakeners can still reach the 'New World' level step by step, but the range of induction and ability strength are much weaker?"
"Yes." Du Heng nodded.
Shang Jianyao asked:
"If such an awakened person can enter the second research area you mentioned, find a way to bypass the restrictions, take control of that machine, and steal permissions, can he also become a detachment?"
Du Heng nodded lightly at first:
"There is another premise, that is, to enter the experimental warehouse, receive the final stimulation, and develop the brain to a certain extent."
He went on to say:
"Otherwise, why do you think I should control the remaining people of the Eighth Courtyard and let them guard this place and stifle all efforts to figure out the cause of the destruction of the old world?"
"Another reason is to maintain the power needed to maintain that machine." Shang Jianyao helped to add.
Suddenly, his expression changed:
"Brain waves! You just said brain waves!
"Is what the 'Salvation Army' people said about the brain control device true in a sense?"
"That's their own conjecture." Du Heng first denied it, and then said, "For the awakened people who rely on themselves instead of the platform we built to become 'spiritual corridors' or even 'new worlds', complete electromagnetic shielding can indeed prevent their influence, but as long as you can use the special here, the effect of that protection will not be very good."
"Oh, oh." Shang Jianyao then remembered that he had taken the topic crooked for a while, and the flashing lights around him reached an urgent level, "You can continue to get down to business."
Du Heng glanced at the door and sighed slightly:
"In the beginning, everything was fine until we found out that we would be hungry and need to feed on human consciousness."
"Isn't it enough to rely on biological chips to supply power?" Shang Jianyao was full of resistance.
Du Heng shook his head:
"Our form of existence is very special, just relying on it, not rooted in biological chips, when using abilities, we can indeed draw electricity through it to increase power, but the consciousness itself will also decline.
"Those mechanical monks can't avoid this, but their consciousness has been transplanted into biological chips, and the decay rate is very slow, allowing them to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Hey, we were so hungry that we couldn't stand it, and after we were so hungry that we were weak, we betrayed our conscience and morality and started eating people, and we also found that even if we didn't need to feed on human consciousness, we still had to do it in the end.
"The formation of this 'new world' is related to the extraction of a large amount of human consciousness when the 'old world' was destroyed, and it itself is also decaying little by little.
Du Heng was silent for a few seconds and sighed:
"From that day on, we were completely different from before, and some of us really didn't see ourselves as human beings.
"During that time, I didn't do anything to restrain all the deeds, and let everyone do their own thing, and as a result, multiple sects were born on the ashes, and human disputes could not be quelled, and chaos was everywhere.
"Judging from the situation at that time, even if more than 90% of the people died when the old world was destroyed, even if a large number of 'heartless people' were active on the ash after that, after seven or eight winters, humans could still slowly rebuild civilization.
"Yes, it is because there is no hope in the chaotic era that the 'Salvation Army' will appear." Shang Jianyao sighed.
Du Heng nodded:
"When the number of humans is greatly reduced again, and civilization is partially cut off, it is in jeopardy, and I have joined forces with the few elders who are worried about this, and have talked openly and honestly with the remaining people a few times and fought twice.
"Considering the importance of humanity to our stability in the 'New World', we finally agreed that the year should try not to interfere with the affairs of the gray soil, reduce the frequency of 'heartless disease', and allow humanity to recuperate.
"At the same time, after winning the victory, I also imposed restrictions on other detainees, so that they could not leave the 'tower' normally, and they could not hide their every move in the 'new world' from me, which is equivalent to their operation log being transparent to me, so their private connections are either through people and things on the ashes, or with the help of 'truth'."
"Why is 'truth' not restricted?" Shang Jianyao asked suspiciously.
Du Heng said:
"He is also a researcher himself, and when he first entered the Eighth Hospital and was transferred to the second research area, he lost his body because of that disaster and entered the 'new world'.
"He woke up late, and at that time, we had already completed our assignments, and no one wanted to have one more person to share authority with.
"Later, when we broke out in a conflict, he kept hiding and didn't show up, so he wasn't locked in the tower, and he was not a year-old man, he didn't have an operation log, and I had a split personality, often fighting myself, and it was impossible to monitor the affairs of those awakened people in the 'New World' in detail, so he became the most special one.
"At critical moments, he can also obtain certain permissions through the year behind him."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to ask again, Du Heng brought the topic back on track:
"After that conflict, the gray earth ended the chaotic era and began to count the years in the new calendar.
"The restricted seniors have lost some of their freedom and will certainly not be willing to accept it, and as time goes on, we have discovered another problem.
"That is, machines also have a lifespan, and machines will also age.
"Once that machine is finished, the 'new world' that has lost its connection with the dust and the corresponding support will either collapse or float completely in the 'darkness' until it dissipates.
"Many parts can be replaced, but the core components cannot be operated under live conditions, and as long as the power is lost, we may disappear directly.
"'Siming' They hope to prepare in advance, relying on the remaining people of the Eighth and Sixth Courtyards to build another machine, and try to transfer it when the time comes, but this will likely require a lot of human consciousness to act as a catalyst or stabilizer.
"At that time, I had already made a decision and did not agree to them, and they began to collude and resist privately, and turmoil occurred again and again."
"What decision?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Du Heng looked at him and smiled:
"I plan to destroy that machine, end all this, and bring this decades-long disaster to a complete end."
"Huh?" Shang Jianyao was shocked.
Seeing this, Du Heng smiled teasingly:
"Otherwise, who do you think gave that nuclear warhead to your team?"
