Chapter 3343: Augmented Reality Technology Based on the Mind Network

If the final investigation shows that the Time-Involving Signal is indeed in the Linna Nie'ersi Chengqu of Taiweimansa, and there is not even a need for a more precise location, then Xia Duo can almost conclude that it was created by Dafuni.

At the same time, it can also be determined what type of spell Dafuni used previously.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately asked Dumu: "How long have you sent people over? Is there any news from there now?"

"Not long before you arrived, so of course it's impossible to have any news now." Dumu shook his head, then handed Xia Duo a Spirit Thought Network Connector, explaining at the same time:

"In order to cope with more challenges to come, we have established a new Command Network, and the investigators sent to Taiweimansa are also in it; they will synchronize as soon as there is news from their side."

"I see!"

Xia Duo took the ear-clip-style Spirit Thought Network Connector and put it on his ear. The next moment, a complete map of the Northland appeared in this originally unremarkable command hall.

But this was not a common Magic effect, but a Psychic Illusion; of course, here it might be called 【Augmented Reality Technology based on the Mind Network】.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Xia Duo felt somewhat surprised, because this was not his own handiwork, but was designed by other Mages themselves.

But it wasn't enough to be shocked; back in his hometown, he had played plenty of such augmented reality electronic products, except that the equipment he used back then claimed to be portable, but in fact, it wasn't portable at all, and it wasn't very convenient to operate either.

In order to prevent other councilors from singing a different tune, the First Tower even brought out a relatively mature plan from the very beginning, and it was a plan where they themselves suffered more losses, namely—

So now, once the First Tower issued a call, many councilors immediately expressed their willingness to send people. Xia Duo, of course, had no one to send; his people had all gone to the Other Plane to take temporary refuge, but he himself was on the front line, and no one said anything about him.

But even so, when a new demand arose, it was still a matter of building a new local area network rather than splitting off a sub-network based on the Computing Power Pool.

Of course, he would still normally share the expenses that he should share, and he would not be short a single Copper coin for the Council.

Of course, after the emergency state is activated, the Alliance can use simpler procedures to conscript relevant personnel from various countries, and at the same time, various countries also grant the Alliance a certain degree of mandatory enforcement power to ensure that they can safely survive this crisis.

Or even go a step further and integrate them all together to form a super network that spans the mental and material, the virtual and the reality.

But now it is already a state of war, and the work is not organizing Documents or other such ordinary work, but going to investigate the Time-Involving Signal Source Point; if you are lucky, it is as easy as getting paid in the past.

And right now, he just experienced a smoothness and sense of reality that he had never experienced in his hometown through a single ear-clip-style Spirit Thought Network Connector.

At this moment, red dots on the map are constantly flickering; new red dots are constantly appearing, and red dots are also constantly disappearing, but overall, the number of new ones is much greater than the number of disappearing ones!

If you are unlucky and run into the home turf of the Darkness Society, it is not impossible to be wiped out directly.

When Xia Duo provided the Spirit Thought Network to the Alliance, he only used its purely virtual side, which was only embodied in consciousness, but now, other Mages have spontaneously designed the interaction between the Spirit Thought Network and reality.

Under such circumstances, those who send people are obviously at a greater disadvantage, but there is not much calculation of who loses and who gains in this kind of thing; if the Darkness Society is allowed to run wild, everyone will be the one to suffer in the end.

The Alliance's current approach is—prioritize the investigation of the detected Time-Involving Signals, prioritize the investigation of those with higher signal strength, but at the same time, randomly select a portion of the Time-Involving Signals with lower priority for surprise investigations.

Or use it as a plug-in component for the Magic Net, and use the Magic Net to expand to the myriad worlds.

This has to be said to be an epoch-making step forward.

For example, this Command Network right now.

Large and small red dots flickering with eerie light represent the Time-Involving Signal strength at the center of their corresponding areas; of course, this center is only a preliminary judgment, and more specific details require on-site personnel to conduct investigations and confirmation.

After Xia Duo signed the document agreeing to activate the emergency state, he himself soon received news from the Seventon Council; the First Tower requested an emergency remote meeting to discuss supporting the Alliance's actions.

In Xia Duo's vision, the ultimate form of the Dumu Wangluo is such a network, expanding more new functions on the basis of the Computing Power Pool, and this network and the Communication Mythallar are complementary.

If it were in normal times, being sent to serve in the Alliance would be a completely easy and lucrative job; even if you did nothing and just came over to go through the motions, you would still have a considerable travel allowance.

Or rather, these local area networks with different functions can actually be completely integrated into a large, complex-structured, and clearly layered Mind Network.

Such a super network can not only connect every individual in the civilization together, but also transmit energy and information among these civilized individuals; once it grows to a certain extent, it may even replace the Magic Net.

The First Tower provides the people, and other councilors and lords provide the money, but it does not exclude the right of other councilors or lords to provide people, and all subsidies are referenced to the Alliance standards.

This means that the Darkness Society is creating new Time-Involving Signals almost every moment, or this is one of the manifestations of the Time-Involving Ritual in the Elan Rebirth Project reaching a critical moment.

But what if a real Time-Involving Ritual is hidden in that large half?

In other words, more than half of the Time-Involving Signals currently monitored by the Alliance cannot be investigated by field personnel.

In fact, these red dots can each completely cover a city; for example, the Time-Involving Signal Source Point in the direction of Taiweimansa just mentioned by Spirit Thought, the red dot representing it completely covered the entire Taiweimansa area.

Doing so certainly has hidden dangers, but even Xia Duo has to admit that this is the best result the Alliance can achieve, while taking into account urgency, importance, and even randomness.

Xia Duo can clearly "see" the current personnel shortage from the Command Network; it is quite large! Almost all of the Alliance's field personnel have been sent out, and they can only barely cover less than one-third of the Time-Involving Signals.

It is just a pity that the current Spirit Thought Network is still more based on specific connectors to link part of the consciousness of specific groups together, equivalent to local area networks with specific functions.

No matter which one it is, it is not good news for the Northland Alliance, and it is no wonder that Spirit Thought, the intelligence chief, said that manpower is tight and it is necessary to activate the emergency state to conscript from various countries.

And in the entire Northland, the largest Spirit Thought Network is none other than the Computing Power Pool; this huge network has more than 200,000 users, and this number is more than half of the total number of Northland Spellcasters. (Apprentices are not counted)

Of course, it is still a bit early to say these things, but the prototype has already appeared; what Xia Duo needs to do is to nurture it and provide a suitable environment for its growth.

Or use the term from Earth: 【Metaverse】!

Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Xia Duo's attention was placed on the Northland map provided by the augmented reality of this Command Network.
