……

Inside the base and bedroom.

The moment Zhang Feng returned, he opened the door and went to his desk.

Take out a laptop and open the drawing software.

Before returning, Zhang Feng spent more than half a year exploring the structure of 'Rune-Spirit Stone Conversion'.

Currently, it is possible to 'draw instantly' using spiritual awareness.

A high level of proficiency, and a good memory.

This allowed Zhang Feng to be very clear about every detail of the 'transformation runes'.

Now it can be perfectly replicated using 3D graphics and displayed on a computer.

But handwritten notebooks are more difficult because they are flat, making it hard to draw hierarchical structures.

However, it is still feasible to use it as a paper record.

The computer-generated drawing was completed in about ten minutes.

Zhang Feng discovered that computer drawing was more difficult than using spiritual perception.

Because the structure is not a straight line, but a complex series of twists and turns, it needs to be constantly modified.

"Hooho..."

Xiao Qingshan, who was inside the room, did not disturb Zhang Feng while he was 'working'.

Only after Zhang Feng finished his work did he come forward, then lay down and nudged Zhang Feng's arm with his white head.

It looks quite cute.

But we need to ignore its three-meter-long body and its gaping maw.

"Go play somewhere else first." Zhang Feng patted his head and shooed him back to the room next door.

Then, try drawing it in a paper notebook.

Although it is difficult to express a sense of hierarchy, you can use pagination as a hierarchy, and add text annotations to make it more vivid.

Such paper records, combined with computer graphics, can also serve as a basis for comparison between the two.

A few more minutes passed.

The paper copy is finished.

Zhang Feng found that handwriting was faster.

However, as long as we follow Master Yangshan's 'rune technology' and inscribe 'spiritual consciousness' into runes, then our recording and work efficiency will be greatly improved.

For example, the staff wanted the quantum building to calculate a complex graph.

First, the staff need to write it down or draw it out.

This will definitely take some time, and there will be subsequent modifications, or it may require the use of certain instruments to perfect it.

After all, there will always be some discrepancies between what you imagine and what you finally draw, and you need to keep making corrections.

However, once the spiritual runes are realized, they can be completed in a short time and perfectly match the graphics envisioned by the researchers.

This is the rune technology that Zhang Feng envisioned. It can not only indirectly realize virtual reality technology, but also greatly improve scientific research efficiency.

Meanwhile, wait until both are drawn.

Zhang Feng checked it one last time and found no mistakes.

This time, Zhang Feng did not use memory storming to write.

Because I have too many inner demons, if I dare to use this, I'm likely to make dozens of mistakes.

The inner demons have now reached 100%, and are only 20% away from the upper limit.

In other words, he had already exceeded the limit, with ten spiritual thoughts and an extraordinary physique, and he was just barely holding on.

If it were anyone else, with no moral compass and 100% inner demons, they would have gone mad long ago.

Even a demonic cultivator like the Great Immortal of Lingshan has at most a 50% chance of being a demon.

After 40%, a person is actually no longer normal.

The number of people who frequent the world of criminal investigation is around 40%.

Of course, these data are all converted according to one's current mindset and in one's current percentage units.

Similarly, if you reach 120%, you'll be almost the same as a normal person at 0%. You'll occasionally have distracting thoughts, be unable to sit still, and be unable to focus solely on cultivation.

Around 180%, they're considered guests.

Around 200%, that's the new Ling Shan Da Xian.

Thinking.

Zhang Feng felt that his mental capacity was quite high, so without thinking too much, he turned on his communicator and told the night shift staff to gather in the main conference room.

Because rune technology requires expertise in electrical engineering, materials science, neuroscience, and related fields, as well as research in superconductivity.

It's a very complex project, so it's not possible to find a research institute that matches your major like before.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng also plans to establish another 'Rune Technology' research center.

……

Thanks to neurological technology, Zhang Feng had already made a plan, and with the inscription of spiritual runes, there were also specific steps involved.

When everyone gathered.

After Zhang Feng finished explaining the virtual reality rune consciousness plan, he also distributed the blueprints.

I'll go back to sleep later.

Although Zhang Feng spoke simply, the shock he brought to everyone was indescribable.

They never expected that Mr. Zhang would deduce 'rune technology' through his research on spirit stones and magic!

Or rather, it concretizes the ethereal method of crafting magical artifacts.

However, it seems a bit difficult to transform a 'computing power building' into a large array.

"According to Mr. Zhang's plan..."

At that moment, one of the researchers looked troubled.
"To transform 1.7 million superconducting components into a rune technology array, even with the assistance of a superconducting quantum sword, is still an extremely difficult task..."

“Yes,” someone frowned in agreement. “Each component is only the size of a ping-pong ball, and the formation is too complex, requiring very advanced technology.”

Even if they are engraved, can 1.7 million magical artifacts be uniformly allocated?

“Definitely not,” a team leader chimed in, pointing to the notebook where the notes were being copied. “General Manager Zhang asked us to coordinate the testing. I reckon… it’ll be another huge project.”

"That's enough talk." Another team leader spoke up directly: "My team members should stop discussing this too. Contact the materials department now and start manufacturing the rune engraving machine."

"Yes, we also need to contact the base above and free up a superconducting production line to develop superconducting runes."

……

That evening, Zhang Feng granted permission.

The five computing power buildings within the base began to provide all the computing power for the manufacture of the 'carving machine' and 'superconducting runes'.

This engraving machine is also like a '3D printer', but it needs to be more refined.

Furthermore, in the characterization of superconductivity, the foundation is solid.

Therefore, the difficulties are not too great. Our civilization has a solid technological foundation, thanks to its recent stable development.

However, when it comes to money, it's hard to say.

But what everyone values ​​most is whether the connection between the formations can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

And can it be connected?

To facilitate this connection, DaXia also moved most of the superconducting computing power buildings in the province to perform calculations for it.

The remaining computing power buildings are for maintaining projects such as spirit stone optimization, and cannot be stopped.

But it was precisely this significant shift and relocation of computing power that caused research funding to skyrocket.

……

And then, when several production lines started construction.

In the past few days, besides occasionally teasing Xiao Qingshan, Zhang Feng has also been considering the formation of the virtual world.

First of all, under normal circumstances, a virtual world is definitely achievable. The problem lies in the stability and authenticity of the data.

And if it's stable, if it's true.

However, one does not need to wear any superconducting or rune facilities to establish a connection with the 'Rune Virtual Building' and directly enter the virtual world.

It's not that I have any special privileges.

Instead, it possesses its own consciousness and can directly transmit neuronal signals to the virtual building, so there is no need to implant or wear superconducting devices.

Of course, this is a 'major loophole'.

Theoretically speaking, if someone else also cultivates spiritual consciousness, then they can connect without relying on superconductivity.

Zhang Feng knew about this issue, but he wasn't worried.

Just one line is enough to break this loophole.

That means the other party's spiritual level needs to be higher than yours.

I am currently using a '2-stroke spiritual network' and the array I have created is also 2 strokes.

The other party must have more than 2 strokes to establish a link and intrude.

Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything.

As for breakthroughs in data, it's similar to hacking.

That's pretty much a no-brainer.

The computing power tower is a world-class standard, and theoretically, no one can break through it.

Of course, if online methods don't work, one can choose offline methods, such as physical attacks, to steal data.

That's just a joke.

The first virtual building is to be built within a military base above the data center.

……

Thanks to a solid scientific foundation, superconducting mass production technology and related technologies are mature.

In three months, a virtual building was created.

This day.

Zhang Feng, along with a group of researchers, emerged from the data center to observe the small building from above. It was twenty meters tall and covered an area of ​​620 square meters.

Its exterior is that of a superconducting Z1, and it has all sorts of pipes; it's basically a mechanized monster.

Then open the small door on the base.

Inside is a series of formations...

In total, there are 1.7 million rune arrays.

This large-scale rune array also combines superconductivity with Z1 quantum mechanics.

To be honest, Zhang Feng had absolutely no idea what to expect.

Even the researchers, looking at this building that cost 12 trillion, felt uneasy.

This figure of 12 trillion does not include the prior allocation of computing power, etc., otherwise it would be an astronomical figure.

This includes not only resources and electricity, but also computing power; if resources are allocated to one area, other projects will have to slow down.

This slowdown, in effect, represents a significant drain on resources and has impacted some scientific progress.

But as long as it works, I won't say anything else.

What if it doesn't work?

Anyway, their data center is already heavily in debt, so they don't care what the various parties say.

Zhang Feng went inside the small building to observe and carefully examine the formations.

These superconductor runes were meticulously crafted to perfection, even surpassing the accuracy of those drawn by one's own consciousness.

After all, this is superconducting proton nanotechnology, where every step can be precise to the nanometer level.

I'm currently at the millimeter level, and there's still a long way to go before I can reach the nanometer level.

So now, at this moment.

The rune array is now perfect.

If that still doesn't work, for example, the 'formation combination' is incompatible in a certain sense.

Then there's nothing that can be done.

Although the superconducting building has been calculated to be a relatively 'stable' structure.

The only problem is that there are too few 'basic spells', so it remains stable within the current rule base.

But if there are more spells, and more spell structures and rules are added, then things might change.

Just like how the rules now include the concept of 'human' and 'high jump'.

Then Quantum Tower calculated that if a person jumps, they might jump seven or eight hundred meters.

However, if we add gravity, dynamics, and other factors, this rule becomes more complex.

A person can only jump four or five meters.

The current stability is such that it exists without knowing whether any relevant rules are missing.

Therefore, no one is certain.

However, relatively speaking, if this formation is unstable, many bugs will appear.

If it is repaired, it will be a breakthrough in addressing the fundamental issue of magical techniques.

For example, Quantum Tower calculated that a person can jump seven or eight hundred meters.

But with practice...

After researchers observed that people could only jump three or four meters, they indirectly discovered that there was indeed gravity in this runic world.

This is a kind of reverse reasoning.

Zhang Feng often did this, which is why he was able to deduce other thorns by focusing on the structure of the earth thorn.

These are all improvements made little by little to the basic structure.

at the same time.

After Lao Liu and the others finished inspecting the virtual building, they all looked at Zhang Feng, who was at the head, and waited for Zhang to give them orders.

Zhang Feng then looked at one of the guards beside him.

"Xiao Zhao, have you read through the steps about the virtual world?"

"Report!" Xiao Zhao stood at attention. "I've memorized it! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Okay." Zhang Feng looked at everyone. "Make final checks and arrangements, and start testing in one day."

Regarding the selection of test personnel, the special forces captain, Xiao Zhao, with a physical fitness level of 55, was chosen.

Zhang Feng cannot go, firstly because no one wants him to.

Secondly, since I have a spiritual connection, not a superconducting connection, it's impossible to measure.

It is fundamentally impossible to provide effective data.

But the concept of a virtual world.

Zhang Feng has a strong spiritual awareness and a large memory bank, which allows him to provide the virtual building with a lot of specific data about the world.

With modifications and additions by researchers, it is theoretically possible to create a realistic 'other world'.

Even Zhang Feng had thought it through.

Once the test is complete, everything should be normal.

So let's start by giving them a 'zombie siege'.

Then test the combat effectiveness and execution capabilities of our special forces personnel.

In addition, provide free superconducting virtual devices to those who have the 'Extraordinary Merit Card' so that they can also experience it.

Of course, if they don't want to experience it, their friends and family who like playing games can experience it instead.

It would be best to also create a team leaderboard or an individual leaderboard to motivate them.

However, Zhang Feng felt that if his professional troops were to play, they would basically dominate the team rankings.

But regardless of whether they kill or not, they can bring a lot of data about spiritual consciousness and neurology, as well as specific knowledge about combat deployment, and so on.

Scientists can also conduct experiments in the virtual world, saving most of the physical expenses.

Once this virtual technology is developed...

This will greatly alleviate both economic and scientific research burdens.

Of course, once more super-organizations flood in and have their own virtual headquarters, games and the like will definitely appear.

Then I'll have to ask them to subsidize me significantly, and I'll also need to impose some restrictions on the game to ensure everyone is happy while preventing it from interfering with reality.

These matters have all been handed over to the planning department.

……

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

Inside a large laboratory at the base.

Nearly three hundred researchers stood in front of their respective instruments.

In front of everyone was a large screen that connected to a virtual building.

Based on digital signals, it can display scenes of the virtual world.

The instruments belonging to everyone are also connected to the small building to enable signal analysis and data diagnosis.

Above the base, dozens of staff members stood ready, prepared to make modifications to the virtual building based on the diagnosis made by the base below.

at the same time.

Inside the laboratory, below the screen, there is a very comfortable bed.

Xiao Zhao lay on the bed, wearing a pair of superconducting glasses, achieving complete field of vision.

Furthermore, there is a thumb-sized superconducting chip on his temple, engraved with a spiritual array, which can enable signal transmission and access.

"Report: All debugging complete. Please provide further instructions!"

At this moment, everyone was looking at Zhang Feng ahead, waiting for his final instructions.

Old Liu was wearing a new military uniform and holding a button the size of his palm.

Zhang Feng glanced around, finally fixing his gaze on Xiao Zhao.
"For better testing, your senses are at 100% in the virtual world."

And after you communicate your thoughts, we can also see your image on the screen and hear your voice.

If you experience any physical discomfort, you don't need to communicate in the physical world; you can simply use your mind to tell it to stop, which will be much faster.

"Report!" At this moment, Xiao Zhao had not yet entered the virtual world. After hearing General Manager Zhang's instructions, he wanted to stand up and bow to reply, "I am ready."

Zhang Feng, however, had a sudden thought and suppressed him.

"Start in ten seconds."

Following Zhang Feng's instructions.

“Ten…nine…” The announcer’s clear voice came from inside the base.

All researchers were on high alert, constantly monitoring their screens.

"Two...one...begin!"

At that moment, Zhang Feng pressed the power button.

The virtual building outside was powered on, and the spirit stone element liquid inside the base began to flow into the building, permeating all the array patterns within the superconductor.

woohoo~~
At that moment, the base personnel above also heard the virtual building emit a muffled roar, as if it were a monster.

This wasn't the sound of the fan blades cooling down, but rather the sound of millions of arrays and superconductors operating, as well as the evaporation sound of a large amount of spiritual energy being used.

Once this virtual building is activated, it consumes not only electricity but also a minimum of one thousand spirit stones per day.

If it's at full power and loaded to the maximum capacity of 1.7 million people, then the daily consumption of spirit stones would be 1.7 million.

Meanwhile, the researchers at the base are constantly monitoring the data flowing through the system.

Under the superconducting detector, the values ​​of spiritual energy fluctuations have been presented as concrete data, and belong to a new energy discipline.

And here is Xiao Zhao.

After he heard the start, his consciousness suddenly became hazy, as if he had suddenly entered a dream.

The signal input from the chip in his temple affected his normal neurons, or rather, it 'took away' all his signal sources.

It's similar to how Zhang Feng cultivated his spiritual thoughts and consciousness, which led to his neurons becoming spiritual thoughts.

The mind also took away its own neurons.

However, Xiao Zhao's case is more complicated.

His chip not only takes away his 'neurons', but also radiates frequencies to the superconducting glasses, projecting images into his retina.

This is a form of 'consciousness transfer', and it represents the maximum virtual synchronization that current technology can achieve.
