...

Inside the base, in the bedroom.

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

He took out a laptop and opened the drawing software.

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

Currently, he could achieve 'instant drawing' using his Spiritual Sense.

His strong proficiency and memory.

Allowed Zhang Feng to be very clear about the subtle details of every pattern in the 'Conversion Rune'.

Now he could completely replicate it using 3D graphics and display it on the computer.

But a handwritten notebook was difficult because it was flat, making it hard to draw the layered structure.

However, it was still feasible to use it for paper records.

After about ten minutes, the computer drawing was completed.

Zhang Feng found that computer drawing was more difficult than using Spiritual Sense.

Because the structure wasn't straight lines but complex twists and turns, requiring constant modification.

"Roar roar..."

Qing Mountain inside the room saw Zhang Feng 'working' and didn't disturb him.

Only when Zhang Feng finished working did he walk over, lie down, and nudge Zhang Feng's arm with his white head.

It looked quite cute.

But you first needed to ignore his three-meter-long body and his gaping maw.

"Go play over there first." Zhang Feng patted his head and shooed him back to the adjacent room.

Then, he tried drawing using a paper notebook.

Although the sense of layering was difficult to express, it could be done by using separate pages for upper and lower layers, combined with text annotations, to convey it vividly.

Such paper records, combined with computer drawings, could also serve as a cross-reference for each other.

A few more minutes passed.

The paper record was finished.

Zhang Feng found that handwriting was still faster.

But from now on, as long as he followed Yangshan Real Person's 'Rune Technology' and engraved 'Spiritual Sense' into runes, the efficiency of recording and working would greatly improve.

For example, if a staff member wanted the quantum building to calculate a complex graphic.

First, the staff member would have to write it down or draw it.

This would definitely take some time, plus later modifications, or requiring the aid of certain instruments for refinement.

After all, there would always be some deviation between what one imagined and what was ultimately drawn, requiring constant correction.

But once Spiritual Sense runes were realized, it could be completed in a short time and perfectly match the graphic the researchers envisioned.

This was the Rune Technology Zhang Feng envisioned; it could not only indirectly achieve virtual reality technology but also greatly improve research efficiency.

At the same time, after both were drawn.

Zhang Feng checked them one last time and saw that there were no errors.

This time, Zhang Feng didn't use Memory Storm to write.

Because his inner demon was too heavy; if he dared to use it, he would likely make dozens of mistakes.

Now his inner demon had reached 100%, only 20% away from the upper limit.

Meaning he had already exceeded the limit, relying on ten Spiritual Minds plus his extraordinary physique to endure.

If it were anyone else, with no mental fortitude and 100% inner demon, they would have gone mad long ago.

A demon cultivator like Ling Shan Great Immortal would have at most 50%.

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

The zuoshangke in the Criminal Police world was around 40%.

Of course, these figures were converted based on his current mental fortitude, using his current percentage units.

Similarly, if he reached 120%, it would be similar to a normal person's 0%, occasionally having distracting thoughts, unable to sit still, unable to cultivate single-mindedly.

Around 180% would be the zuoshangke.

Around 200% would be a new Ling Shan Great Immortal.

Thinking.

Zhang Feng felt his mental fortitude limit was quite high, then without thinking further, he opened his communicator and instructed the current night shift personnel to gather in the large conference room.

Because rune technology required expertise in electrical engineering, materials science, neurology, and so on, plus relevance to the Superconducting research department.

It was a very mixed project, unlike before, where they could find a research hall that specialized in a specific field.

And Zhang Feng was also preparing to establish a new 'Rune Technology' research hall.

...

Because Zhang Feng already had plans for neurological technology, and the engraving of Spiritual Sense runes also had specific steps.

When everyone gathered.

After Zhang Feng roughly finished explaining the virtual reality Rune Spiritual Sense plan, he also distributed the blueprints.

Afterwards, he went back to sleep.

Although Zhang Feng explained it simply, the shock it brought to everyone was indescribable.

They hadn't expected that Director Zhang had actually deduced 'Rune Technology!' through his research on Ling Stones and spells.

Or rather, he had materialized the method of forging ethereal spiritual artifacts.

However, regarding turning a 'computing building' into a large formation, it seemed a bit difficult.

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

At this moment, a researcher showed a look of difficulty,

"To turn all 1.7 million Superconducting components into Rune Technology formations, even with the assistance of Superconducting quantum knives, the difficulty is quite high..."

"Yes." Someone frowned in agreement, "Each component is only the size of a ping-pong ball, and the formation is too complex, requiring extremely high craftsmanship.

Even if they are engraved well, can 1.7 million spiritual artifacts form a unified coordination?"

"Certainly not." A team leader chimed in, pointing to the copied notebook, "Director Zhang wants coordination tests. It's probably... another massive project."

"Let's stop talking." Another team leader spoke directly, "People in my team, stop discussing. Contact the materials department now and start manufacturing the rune engraving machine."

"Right, we also need to contact the base above to free up a Superconducting production line for developing Superconducting runes."

...

That night, because Zhang Feng released the permissions.

The five computing buildings within the base began providing all their computing power for the manufacturing of the 'engraving machine' and 'Superconducting runes'.

This engraving machine was also like a '3D printer', but required greater precision.

And in the engraving of Superconducting, this was because the foundation was solid.

So the difficulty wasn't very great; our civilization still had a technological foundation from its recent stable development.

Only in terms of money, that was hard to say.

But what everyone valued most was the link between 'formation and formation', whether it could achieve the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

And could they be connected?

For this connection, Great Xia also mobilized most of the Superconducting computing buildings in the entire province for calculations.

The remaining computing buildings were needed to maintain projects like Ling Stone optimization and couldn't be stopped.

But it was precisely this large-scale allocation and movement of computing power that caused research funds to burn up rapidly.

...

And while several production lines began operations.

In these past few days, besides occasionally teasing Qing Mountain, Zhang Feng was also considering the formation of the virtual world.

First, under normal circumstances, the virtual world could definitely be realized. The question was whether the data was stable and whether it felt real.

And if it was stable, if it was real.

He himself didn't need to wear any Superconducting or rune equipment to achieve a link with the 'Rune-Virtual Building' and directly enter the virtual world.

This wasn't because he had any special permissions.

It was because he had Spiritual Sense and could directly transmit some neuron signals to the virtual building, so he didn't need to implant or wear Superconducting devices or the like.

Of course, this was a 'big loophole'.

Because theoretically, if someone else also cultivated Spiritual Sense, they could also connect without using Superconducting devices.

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

Just one point could shatter this loophole.

That was, the opponent's Spiritual Sense level needed to exceed his own.

His current Spiritual Sense network was '2-stroke', and the formation he engraved was also 2-stroke.

The opponent must exceed 2 strokes to achieve connection and intrusion.

Otherwise, everything was out of the question.

As for breaking through data-wise, similar to a hacker.

This was basically unthinkable.

The computing building was completely world-class standard; theoretically, no one could break through it.

Of course, if online didn't work, one could choose offline reality, attempt physical penetration, and steal data.

This was purely a joke.

Because the first virtual building was to be built inside the military base above the Data Center.

...

Thanks to the solid scientific foundation in reality, Superconducting mass production technology and related technologies were already mature.

In three months, a virtual building was created.

On this day.

Zhang Feng also led a group of researchers out of the Data Center and observed the building from above.

It was twenty meters high, covering an area of 620 square meters.

Its exterior was Superconducting Z1, with various pipes, the whole thing was a mechanized monster.

Then he opened the small door at the base.

Inside were formations + formations + formations...

All added up, there were 1.7 million rune formations.

This type of large Rune Formation combines Superconducting and Z1 Quantum technology.

To be honest, Zhang Feng had no confidence in his heart.

Including all the researchers, looking at this small building that cost twelve trillion, felt uneasy in their hearts.

This twelve trillion didn't include the initial computing power allocation and so on; otherwise, it would be an astronomical figure.

Not only did it involve resources and electricity, but once computing power was allocated, other projects had to slow down.

This slowdown was also a disguised major consumption, affecting some scientific progress.

But as long as it succeeded, nothing else mattered.

What if it failed?

Anyway, their Data Center was already so deep in debt that they weren't worried about what any dynasties would say.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, entered the interior of the small building to observe, carefully looking at these formations.

These Superconducting runes were crafted with utmost precision, achieving perfect carving, even more standard than what his Spiritual Sense could draw.

After all, this was Superconducting proton nanotechnology, where every step could be accurate to the nanometer level.

He was currently still at the millimeter level, and there was a long way to go to bridge the gap between millimeters and nanometers.

So, at present, for now.

The Rune Formation was already perfect.

If it still didn't work, for example, if the 'formation combination' was incompatible in some sense.

Then there was nothing that could be done.

Although the Superconducting small building had calculated that this was a relatively 'stable' architectural structure.

It was just that the 'basic techniques' were too few, so it was stable within the current rule base.

But if there were more techniques, and some technique structures and rules were added, then it wouldn't necessarily be stable.

It was like how the current rules included the concept of 'people' and 'high jump'.

Then the quantum small building calculated that a person jumping might jump seven or eight hundred meters.

But if a gravity system, dynamics, and so on were added, enriching these rules.

A person could only jump four or five meters.

The current stability was like this; it was stable without knowing if there were any missing relevant rules.

Therefore, everyone lacked confidence.

Relatively speaking, if this formation was unstable and many bugs appeared.

Then as long as it was fixed, it would also be a breakthrough regarding the issue of the technique base.

For example, the quantum small building calculated that a person could jump seven or eight hundred meters.

But with practice.

After the researchers saw that people could only jump three or four meters, they also indirectly discovered that there was gravity in this Rune world.

This was a form of reverse engineering.

Zhang Feng also often did this, which was why he could use the structure of the Earth Thorn as the core and reverse-engineer other thorns.

This was all about gradually perfecting the basic structure.

At the same time.

Liu and the others, after inspecting the virtual small building, all looked at Zhang Feng, who was in charge, waiting for Director Zhang's execution order.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, looked at a guard next to him,

"Xiao Zhao, have you read all the steps regarding the virtual world?"

"Reporting!" Xiao Zhao stood at attention, "I have memorized them thoroughly! I guarantee the completion of the mission!"

"Okay." Zhang Feng looked at everyone, "Conduct the final inspection and deployment. The test will begin in one day."

Regarding the selection of the test subject, the Special Forces Captain with a physique of 55, Xiao Zhao, was chosen.

Zhang Feng couldn't go, firstly because everyone was unwilling.

Secondly, he was connected by Spiritual Sense, not Superconducting link, so he couldn't be tested either.

Fundamentally, he couldn't provide effective data.

But regarding the concept of the virtual world.

Zhang Feng had abundant Spiritual Sense and a large memory bank, so he could provide the virtual small building with a lot of specific data about worlds.

Coupled with the modifications and additions by the researchers, theoretically, a real 'otherworld' could be created.

Zhang Feng had even thought it through.

After the test was completed, as long as everything was normal.

Then they would immediately hit them with a 'Zombie Siege'.

And then test the combat effectiveness and execution ability of his special forces personnel.

Also, they would freely distribute Superconducting virtual devices to the personnel with 'Extraordinary Merit Cards' so they could also experience it.

Of course, if they didn't want to experience it, they could let their friends and family who liked playing games experience it instead.

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

However, Zhang Feng felt that if his professional troops played, they would basically dominate the team ranking.

But whether they dominated or not, it could bring a lot of data about Spiritual Sense and neurology, as well as knowledge about specific combat deployments, and so on.

And scientists could also conduct experiments within the virtual world, saving the vast majority of material expenses.

Once this virtual technology was formed.

It would be a great relief in terms of economy and scientific research.

Of course, once some super institutions flooded in and had their own virtual small buildings, games and such would definitely appear.

Then he would have to make them heavily subsidize the funds, and also relatively restrict games, ensuring everyone was happy while preventing interference with reality.

These matters were all handed over to the Planning Department.

...

The next day, at ten in the morning.

Inside a large Laboratory in the base.

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

In front of everyone, there was a large screen connected to the virtual small building.

It could display the scene of the virtual world based on digital signals.

Including everyone's instruments which were also connected to the small building, enabling signal analysis and data diagnosis.

Above the base, dozens of staff members were ready, prepared to modify the virtual small building at any time based on the diagnosis from the base below.

At the same time.

Inside the Laboratory, below the screen, there was a very comfortable bed.

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

And on his temple, there was a thumb-sized Superconducting chip, engraved with a Spiritual Sense formation, which could achieve signal transmission and access.

"Reporting, all debugging is complete, please give instructions!"

At this moment, everyone was looking at Zhang Feng in front, waiting for Director Zhang's final instructions.

Liu was wearing a new military uniform, holding a palm-sized button in his hand.

Zhang Feng scanned around, finally looking at Xiao Zhao,

"For better testing, in the virtual world, your senses will be 100%.

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

If you feel unwell, you don't need to communicate in reality; you can directly use your consciousness to call for a stop, which will be faster."

"Reporting!" At this moment, Xiao Zhao hadn't entered the virtual world yet. After hearing Director Zhang's instructions, he wanted to get up and salute to reply 'I am ready'.

But Zhang Feng's Spiritual Mind moved, and he pressed him down,

"Starting in ten seconds."

Following Zhang Feng's command.

"Ten... nine..." The clear voice of the announcer also came from inside the base.

All the researchers also raised their spirits, constantly watching the screen.

"Two, one... Start!"

At this second, Zhang Feng pressed the power button.

The power of the virtual small building outside started, and the Ling Stone elemental liquid inside the base also began to surge into the small building, flowing through all the formation patterns within the Superconducting material.

Whoosh whoosh~~

At this second, the base personnel above also heard the virtual small building emit a muffled roar, as if it were a monster.

This was not the sound of the fan blades cooling, but the running sound of millions of formations and Superconductors, as well as the evaporation sound effect of a large amount of spiritual energy being used.

Once this virtual small building was started, it consumed not only electricity but also a minimum of one thousand Ling Stones per day.

If at full power, loaded up to the maximum capacity of 1.7 million people, the consumption would be even higher, 1.7 million Ling Stones per day.

At the same time, the researchers in the base were constantly staring at the streams of data flowing above.

Under the Superconducting detector, the values of spiritual energy fluctuations had presented concrete data, and they belonged to a new energy discipline.

As for Xiao Zhao.

After he heard 'Start', his consciousness suddenly became heavy, as if he had suddenly entered a dream.

The temple chip input signals, affecting his normal neurons, or rather, 'collected' all his signal sources.

It was also like Zhang Feng cultivating Spiritual Mind and Spiritual Sense, thereby making his neurons his Spiritual Mind.

His Spiritual Mind also collected his neurons.

It was just that Xiao Zhao's case was more complex.

His chip not only had to collect his 'neurons' but also simultaneously radiate frequency towards the Superconducting glasses, projecting images onto his retina.

This was a disguised form of 'consciousness transmission', and also the maximum virtual synchronization that current technology could achieve.
