Chapter 162: Dream Analysis

Professor Damon arrived, and the entire hall erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers; the revival of the Armor Series had made Damon a hero as well.

Professor Damon was over fifty, but he looked to be around forty, very handsome and refined. Dressed in a casual suit, he walked to the podium and smiled slightly, "This is my second time coming to Tianjing; the last time was to design the Black Night Saber. Is Li Hao here?"

Instantly, everyone's gaze focused on Li Hao. Li Hao raised his hand, but two hands, one on his left and one on his right, shoved him to his feet.

"Professor Damon, hello, I am Li Hao."

Damon looked at Li Hao and smiled slightly, "I want to thank you properly. Li Hao saved my career; someone is finally using the mecha I designed. Tell me, why did you choose the Black Night Saber, besides it being handsome?"

A burst of laughter filled the hall. When it came to looks, the Black Night Saber had it perfectly nailed down, especially the Titanium Black, which was a walking mecha hormone.

"The first time I chose it because it was handsome, later on, it was because it was easy to use," Li Hao said.

"Well, my long-hidden PhD in aesthetics has finally been discovered," Jiabo laughed. It really was all because it started with being handsome.

The whole hall roared with laughter. With a simple opening, Damon had completely won over the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of the Tianjing mecha martial arts students. In reality, Jiabo had over twenty doctoral titles, one of which was in human aesthetics.

People who can stand at the pinnacle of their respective industries are all blessed with both high intelligence and high emotional intelligence. Damon had also come prepared; today's main topic was the future trend of mecha.

"Overall, I believe that a balanced mecha type is the eternal royal road. The world is diverse, and mecha must satisfy this. Of course, everyone will have questions: why are the current Moon light-type mecha so fierce? In fact, this involves compatibility. The Moon's environment and the tendencies of their gene technology from back then both made them more suitable for light-type mecha, and the NUP has also evolved this advantage into a unique style. But we cannot imitate; imitation only leads to falling behind. We must learn, and the purpose of learning is to find what suits ourselves. Earthlings are always Earthlings," Damon said.

Dita had been listening seriously from the beginning. Damon's various analyses earlier could be described as hitting the nail on the head. In fact, the entire NUP interior very much hoped that Earth would change itself to follow the Moon's pace, but the final result would be losing oneself while forever following the Moon Person's footsteps. However, Earth always had clear-headed people.

The process of finding one's strongest point is definitely one of confusion and struggle. Back then, the Moon was also constantly imitating Earth, but the result of the imitation was being dominated. Yet, they broke out of it, overturned Earth's balanced model, and found the light-type route. Even so, the Moon still maintained a certain amount of heavy armor and medium-type mecha, and even dabbled in Giant God Soldiers, but these were to understand and master them, to better unleash their own strength.

"The master leads you through the door, but cultivation is up to the individual. I am not a pilot, but all things are interconnected; every industry is the same, requiring a bit of spirituality. Since I've come to Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts today, I must provide some solid substance. For the remaining time, I will solemnly introduce to everyone a person and his three papers, which are currently circulating mainly within the scientific academies of the Four Great Federations and have also sparked fierce debate. I personally believe this will be an epoch-making theory that changes human development. This person is Xilian Molifeisi from the Moon, a super genius who has just turned eighteen." Damon's eyes actually carried a kind of fanaticism, not hiding his admiration for Xilian in the slightest.

When talking about mecha development earlier, Damon had actually maintained the stance of an Earthling, but when it involved theories that could change the course of human civilization, these things were no longer important.

Damon wrote on the blackboard, and the entire auditorium was buzzing with discussion: Xilian, Molifeisi.

Is there such a person on the Moon? The most familiar names now are the Heavenly King Fan Liweite and the God of War Maxis.

Molifeisi seemed to have been heard of; it seemed to be a very wealthy, prominent family, but there hadn't been any movement from them in recent years. They were one of the leading families of the early Moon immigrants and had produced several Moon Federation speakers.

Part One: "Dream Analysis" in the narrow sense.

"Dream Analysis, this paper is the foundation of these three. We have assumed the multi-dimensional structure of the universe for hundreds of years, but even with the current development of technology, there is still no better way to step into dimensions. Xilian possesses the ability to communicate with the... and the channel or... determines our dream realm."

Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with discussion, "How much money did this guy spend to be so sensational? Are rich people's dreams different from ours?"

"I'm good at dreaming; could it be that I'm also a genius?"

"I actually know about this; it's flashy and feels unreliable."

Li Hao didn't laugh, while Dita beside him smiled slightly, "Earth might not know yet, but it has already caused widespread discussion on the Moon. Dream Analysis is actually a popular term; it can also be called Soul Theory or Mental Power Theory, providing theoretical imaginative space for the expansion of the Golden Zone."

Damon on the stage signaled for the students to be quiet, "Time and space in dreams are controllable. The first half of Dream Analysis is theoretical construction, and the second half is dream control. Once controllable, it is possible to achieve traveling ten thousand miles in an instant, the soul breaking free from the shackles of the flesh, and a series of mysterious things. Of course, this is a very high stage."

"Professor, that's not scientific!"

"It's not scientific because our current theories are not enough to verify it. Furthermore, it cannot be proven; this aspect is currently being attempted and requires a certain opportunity. What's more interesting is that Xilian assumed three stages in Dream Analysis: Dream One, Dream Two, and Dream Three." Damon did not argue. He was also one of the few physicists in the Alliance; genetic dominance was also in terms of intelligence. Like many top scientists, when exploring the universe to a certain extent, a kind of "design sense" appears. Yes, humans are designed; Earth and the Solar System seem to be arranged and controlled by an invisible force because it is simply too ingenious. For example, just like when we look at a television set, an object composed of such regular, meticulous logic and structure, can it be said to have been produced by accident?

Humans themselves are even more so.

And humans have always tried to replicate and imitate this "creativity": artificial intelligence, virtual worlds.

Humans construct "virtual worlds," and the EMP constructed by humans can also be indistinguishable from the real thing. We think this is virtual, so is the world we exist in also constructed?

Reality and virtuality are also relative.

Of course, these do not need to be said here; many things are just Damon's feelings, and it is also possible that they stem from the conflict caused by the insufficiency of human ability and the expansion of desire, but humans possess reason.

Make bold guesses, verify with caution.

"Dream One: people can master their own dreams and complete learning and training in the dream. The time and intensity depend on the strength of the soul—more plainly, it can be called Mental Power—shaping one's own virtual world. The time in the dream has no direct relationship with real time; slowing it down or speeding it up depends on personal ability." Dita poked Li Hao lightly, "Early shaping can only be of things seen before; in the middle stage, one can shape illusory imaginations. When one can fully master the Dream One stage, dreams can connect to places in reality."

"Is this kind of connection real?" Li Hao asked.

Seeing that Li Hao was very serious, Dita smiled. She knew Li Hao would be interested; how could he not be interested with such powerful Mental Power?

"No, it is still a dream, but it is no longer limited to one's own field of vision. It's a bit like a local area network connecting to the internet," Dita said with a bit of fascination. There exists a huge possibility for exploring the unknown here. One must know that humans currently have to pay a huge price to explore the Macro Universe and the Micro-Universe.

"Xilian was actually recognized as a super genius on our Moon very early on. Later, he was injured in an accident—I heard he was beaten by a group—and was in a coma for three years. But during those three years, he underwent a transformation. After waking up, he lost interest in fighting and focused on research," Dita said with a bit of regret, "It's not that I look down on you all, but if he were here, the three-peat would have already been achieved."

Li Hao rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly, "And then?"

"The limitation of the Dream One realm is that no matter how one fantasizes, what changes is only oneself, and at the same time, one cannot escape the dream itself. But in the Dream Two realm, the soul is already strong enough to break free from the limitations of the flesh. It is somewhat similar to the Soul Out-of-Body ability of your ancient Tianjing, capable of using the soul to a certain extent to make movements across space, traveling ten thousand miles in an instant. Corresponding to the theory of Dream Analysis, human dreams are channels linking to the fourth dimension. In this channel, the speed of the soul is faster than light, and once it exceeds the speed of light, it is not a simple acceleration, but will exist in another form of movement."

"Time reversal?"
