Chapter 48 Fifty years of life, like a dream and an illusion
These experts and scholars who were sleeping during the "Great Awakening Movement" suddenly woke up at the same time, and the detection equipment that had been installed also detected some kind of fluctuation at this moment.
Even though these subjects had a splitting headache and couldn’t even walk steadily, some people around couldn’t help asking:
"What did you see? Did you reach that place?"
In fact, they already have affirmation in their hearts, but only when they hear the answer in person can they really feel at ease.
Although those scholars were uncomfortable, they were also very excited and understood the anxiety of their companions, because they did confirm the existence of that place.
One of them who was not in such a bad situation immediately replied:
"Yes, we did enter that place. Huge psionic energy that was never imagined before is all over there, and the nebula-like Zelo gas is also everywhere."
"The premonition in the dark tells me that there is a 'virtual realm'!"
He finished these words in one breath, but he was not out of breath, and his eyes exuded strong confidence.
The rest of the people who were looking forward to something were taken aback when they heard this sentence, and then deafening cheers broke out.
"Finally... finally waited until this day, the spiritual potential will no longer only be awakened by a few chosen people! From now on, all our clansmen will become the masters of their own souls!"
"And those materialistic idiots! Next time, we must slap them hard with psionic energy!"
A few days later, the large group of Dankam and several idealistic civilizations jointly announced that they had discovered the existence of the "Void Realm". The road leading to the "Void Realm" was no longer closed, and all consciousness could reach that place.
Material civilizations dismissed this at first, but after several extremely rigorous scientists awakened their spiritual potential through experiments, they realized that the idealistic civilization seemed to be really big.
But soon, this major event became calm in the materialistic civilization, because they discovered that psionic energy was actually not that useful to them.
For example, the idea of trying to replace conventional energy with psionic energy ended with the dramatic results of the experiment. They found that the machine that directly extracts energy from the "virtual environment" built with a lot of manpower and material resources is not as powerful as the energy produced by the splitting of several atomic nuclei.
After the work video of a psychic user known as "the most powerful in history" was exposed, many Huanyu companies generally believed that "it doesn't feel as good as an old-fashioned robot that has been eliminated for 20 years."
So the materialistic civilization continued to laugh: "A group of magic sticks who have proved the supremacy of physics for an unknown number of years."
The idealistic civilization ironically said: "A group of poor people who know that there is a treasure here but can't use it."
All in all, the discovery of the "virtual realm" is just "there is such a special space in the universe" for materialistic civilization.
But for idealistic civilization, this is a major event that can change fate.
Time passed quietly. Li Wenyuan also returned to his home planet from the "Emerald Tomb".
He discovered that there were several unstable gaps in the "virtual realm" on the "Emerald Mausoleum", and those missing persons were all involved in the "virtual realm".
And the "Virtual Realm" seems to have a special liking for organic life, the longer you stay there, the easier it is to be swept away by the "Virtual Realm", which also creates the dead silence there.
As for the fate of those missing, no one knows.
But before leaving, he brought back the psychic crystal that recorded the past images.
This thing also has a powerful function. It can stably open a narrow "virtual realm" space, and then make contact with the "virtual realm". It doesn't need to make a lot of preparations and spend a lot of resources like idealistic civilization.
"... As for the 'Virtual Realm' itself..." Li Wenyuan thought about it, and then temporarily put it in the middle of the "to-do list".
As far as the present is concerned, he still doesn't know what's inside, and even if there is any danger, he also feels that the "Watcher", the lost empire that may be most closely related to it, will be the first to go up.
So he settled down for the time being, and while trying to make synths master psychic power through the "virtual realm", he was also starting to build a third fleet.
Backing to the home planet, he used the psychic crystal to open up a small void, and then let the synthetic man step into it.
He didn't let any living beings come near here, not even Lilian, who could breathe Zello naturally.
He has heard enough news about someone missing in the Void Realm from Idealistic Civilization, and he doesn't want this "pet" who has been with him for more than ten years to also disappear in it.
Once again, the synthetic man was controlled to come here, under the same atmosphere, with the same clouds and clouds, but the synthetic man still couldn't feel anything.
"...So psychic robots are still not feasible?" Li Wenyuan frowned, and kept letting synthetic humans come in and out here.
However, the "guidance of what to hear" that idealistic civilization has generally experienced did not happen. For this reason, he also tested the auditory system of synthetic humans several times to confirm whether it was because of a machine failure that he could not "hear" the virtual reality. ambient sound.
"...Is it because of 'consciousness'? Or...'soul'?" He thought about the reason, and then looked at the technology tree, a technology that he had been paying attention to for a long time.
【Synthetic Human Personality Matrix】
【Technology level: 7】
【Introduction: After a long period of progress in social concepts, the people finally understand that non-corporeal "consciousness" also has uniqueness and independence. The mysteries of consciousness will be unraveled by data, and the mythical feats will be achieved by us. From now on, we will create our own "soul"]
【Possible Technology: None】
The level of this technology is even higher than the "megastructure engineering", and the effect it achieves is very likely to make synthetic humans have "life".
The ethical and philosophical issues involved are extremely complex, and it may take a very long time for a normal civilized society to accept this change.
But these have nothing to do with him for the time being, because he can't study this seventh-level technology.
"...Let's talk about it later, let's put aside the matter of the psychic robot. There have been a lot of changes in the galaxy recently. I hope that the spiritual civilization will stop doing any big things..."
Li Wenyuan thought so, and continued to focus on fleet expansion.
And those idealistic civilizations with high hopes have also successfully completed the initial use of the "virtual environment" with unremitting efforts.
It is still a large group of Dancams, and the psionic experts among them brought good news:
"—Our Chosen One who entered the 'Virtual Realm' successfully established a connection with an ancient and powerful existence!"
An apprentice hurriedly came to the elders meeting room to report the news, which also made the elders smile.
One of them tried to pretend to be calm and said: "Yes, in this way, our position in the idealistic civilization should be quite stable. There should be no other civilization that can reach the level similar to ours."
But more people don't pretend to be pretending. The pride of making achievements in the "virtual world" makes them all have their tails up.
After bragging for a while, someone asked: "What do our experts say? Do you know what that existence is?"
The apprentice shook his head at this moment, showing an inexplicable expression: "I didn't study it too clearly, and that existence drove us back with only one sentence."
"Such a bad temper? What did you say?"
"Fifty years."
