Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1013 Waiting for the Stars to Rise in the Palace

Although it is not clear why Marcus came here, the dim light looks really dangerous. We can't let him die in this space.

Zhou Rui, dressed in a black suit, did not hesitate and jumped down from the Hall of Thinking.

Just like when he came, he could control himself to "fly" rather slowly...or it would be more appropriate to say "float".

White Zhou Rui smiled slightly, and followed closely and jumped down, making a leap of faith.
Maybe this is their difference. White Zhou Rui is calmer and more direct, but also more willing to release his nature.

The black Zhou Rui, on the other hand, is more like the one connected by countless threads in the real world, the more realistic and gentle one.

The "two people" just floated downwards, like the twins of light and darkness.

White Zhou Rui caught up and said, "We couldn't leave the Mind Palace before, but today we know that this vast space also has practical significance. We used to think it was just a special effects background."

Black Zhou Rui said: "It should be related to our acquisition of the [Peak of Human Mind]. When we came up, we were able to stir the clouds to a certain extent."

“The mystery of the mind is no less than the mystery of matter. Perhaps it is a completely different path.”

"But your posture is a bit strange, isn't it?"

The white Zhou Rui chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and bent his feet slightly one in front of the other, as if he was flying on a non-existent "flying sword".

Zhou Rui felt that he was flying like a stick, and he was a little outdone. So he thought about it and made a Superman move.
After a while, he couldn't hold back his pride anymore and returned to being a stick.

Due to the lack of reference, the two Zhou Ruis couldn’t tell how fast they were flying, but they felt that the dim yellow light was not getting closer.

It feels like a dead horse running to the mountain
Was it this far when we came up here? Or was it faster then?
White Zhou Rui: "By the way, the height of the Mind Palace is constantly rising, which means it is farther away from the sea of ​​clouds. You don't have all the memories above, so I remind you."

Black Zhou Rui: "It may also be related to the fact that our thinking ability is getting stronger and stronger in reality."

After about three to five minutes in this special space, the "two people" finally reached the cloud layer, but the yellow light was still below. So they continued to go down.

Bai Zhou Rui suddenly said, "Is it possible that the clouds are some kind of boundary? If you break through the clouds, you can see everything, but if you don't break through, you will be trapped in the maze and unable to extricate yourself?"

"There is also the Revelation of Heaven. It is suspected to be in the same space as the Temple of Thought."

Black Zhou Rui: "It's all speculation, but this metaphor is very spiritual..."

After a few dozen seconds, they finally arrived at the place where the yellow light was.

Sure enough, a phantom of Marcus' image was flickering in it.

The phantom is clearly visible, but it is very transparent. The flickering light is emitted from the phantom.

Marcus's shadow raised his head with a ferocious expression, as if he was in pain.

The two circled around Marcus for a few times, and finally Black Zhou Rui looked at White Zhou Rui: "What do you think? What do you think?"

"It's all up to me? Why don't you use your brain?"

"Your brain is my brain. I just allocated most of the 'computing power' to you!"

White Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said, "The most direct way is for us to exit the master mode, and he should be back to normal. But this is a rare case. I want to try something else."

White Zhou Rui, or "Master Zhou Rui", stretched out a hand and pressed the crown of Marcus's shadow.

Then he pulled him upwards, trying to lead him out of this endless maze.

However, after flying for a while, Marcus's shadow became extremely ethereal, and the dim light flashed as wildly as Ultraman's signal light.

It seems like it's about to break.

White Zhou Rui quickly stopped, shook his head, changed direction, and pushed Marcus down.

Two solid figures, plus a phantom, just went down like this.

There was no reference point in the endless clouds and fog, so the only way to calculate was by time. After flying for about ten seconds, when the fog under his feet became thinner and thinner, the white Zhou Rui stopped.

“Maybe it’s right here.”

"explain?"

Bai Zhou Rui said: "This space does not exist in the material world. Everything, including us, is just a 'one-to-one reflection'. If the strength of the power of highly reflected thinking is considered, Marcus was obviously forcibly sent to a place where he should not be by our 'Master Time'. This is where he should be, or slightly higher."

After a while, Marcus's shadow looked much calmer. Although the yellow light on his body was still dim, it didn't flicker or feel like it could be destroyed at any time. "As for the effect, it should be considered as letting him enter a kind of youthful master time. He won't have any specific memories of this place, after all, he is still in the fog, but after waking up, he may retain some kind of 'inspiration' in the form of subconsciousness."

"Perhaps all the users of Compound No. 2 will be able to do the same. Oh, and as for the controllability issue we're worried about, there shouldn't be any problems with the 'familiar imprint' left by the brainwave resonance. Of course, we can't treat it as a 'mental stamp'."

"Perhaps with this as a starting point, in the future, using technological means to reproduce 'brain wave resonance' may have some meaning of 'thinking stamping'."

"Also, Compound No. 2 is safe. This is my judgment. The rest depends on your own judgment."

Black Zhou Rui nodded: "Then wait for the master time to end normally so that Marcus can have more 'inspiration'. I hope I can bring back all the memories this time. It is indeed very beneficial."

White Zhou Rui: "Well, I will tell you something else in the remaining time."

------

Marcus felt like he was in a trance for a moment.

No. It wasn't just a moment. It should be said that I was in a daze for a long time.

As soon as my thoughts came back to life, I suddenly felt extremely exhausted, as if I was forced to stay up all night and was not allowed to do things I was interested in, but was forced to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf all night.
Still the same episode!
This sudden feeling even made him wonder if he was sick again, and that his brain was failing again after Alzheimer's disease.

I felt extremely nervous for a moment.

However, when he saw the boss in front of him looking at him leisurely, he felt a little more at ease. His memory before he was "dazed" gradually came back, and he asked in a concentrated voice, "Boss, did you feel anything different just now?"

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Yes, I am meditating."

Marcus:? ? ?

Zhou Rui pointed to the small shower head in front of him and gave the reason he had thought of long ago.

"I tried to make a portable device called 'brain wave magnetic field', but it's not ready yet. You came faster than I expected and accidentally entered the range of the device. Your brain waves were affected, but it shouldn't be a big deal."

The little shower was briefly confused, and a “.” appeared on the camera’s big eyeball.

Then with a "ding" sound, a "thumbs up" hand pattern was displayed.

The highest authority is right! It is me!
Marcus took a long time to digest it but still couldn't digest it
Brainwave magnetic field technology is the underlying capability of learning machines and has many uses, but it feels a bit far-fetched to make it into a portable device.
What device? Mass confusion force field? Wide-area daze barrier?

Zhou Rui did not explain further. Nine points were true and one point was false, and the remaining ninety points were because he was sure that Marcus would not dig into the matter.

After all, he is the boss.

Marcus could only accept this explanation. His boss's engineering attainments were beyond the comprehension of a brain scientist and doctor like himself. Besides, the brain wave magnetic field technology was originally invented by his boss, and he might have some other abilities that he didn't know about.

Getting back to the point, Marcus endured the headache and said tiredly: "Why did you call me here?"

Zhou Rui nodded. Now that he had the answer, his knot in his heart had been untied.

Then there is no more hesitation.

Zhou Rui took out a stack of manuscripts from under his desk. They were exactly the "Hall of Talents" plan that Marcus had given him before.

Zhou Rui tapped the "Elite Hall Plan" with his finger and said, "This plan has many shortcomings in the details."

Marcus waited quietly, but with a little more anticipation.

“But in principle, I agree to start moving forward.”

Marcus' eyes sparkled and he smiled, "Boss, you made a wise choice."

Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "Besides, this name is too stupid, let's change it."

"Please say."

"The Palace. Just call it the Palace."

The Hall of Fame Project: Hall of Fame Scholars. And the Hall of Thought.

Break through the fog. Maybe one day, the most intelligent individuals among humans will have the opportunity to break through the fog and gaze upon that palace of thinking.

Then I found that there was already someone sitting there, waiting for a long time.
