Chapter 1767: Chapter 349: Acquiring the Dreaming Device
Or could it be... that the Terra People truly have the idea of colonizing without relying on the Ether Furnace Core, without relying on superluminal travel?
"Perhaps itâs just a matter of being prepared for both possibilities."
Focusing his thoughts on Far Shore Island, Ian sensed the tremendous potential of the Dreaming Device.
Itâs not just about âlearningâ... the previous epochâs civilization made the Dreaming Device capable of creating a complete mental world.
Smell and taste, sight and hearing, touch, and even soul perceptionâthe learning world had it all. Whether enjoyment, battle, or study, the Dreaming Device can provide it.
Moreover, during the learning process, one is always physically vigorous, never distracted or drowsy.
The Far Shore Islanders didnât fully utilize this Learning Machine. Limited by geographical resources, even if the Far Shore Islanders did learn everything, their technology has little use.
Most of the population begins this learning without a foundation, and efficiency is very worrisome. The leaders of Far Shore Island probably know this, which is why they only see it as a stability machine.
Of course, if they went to the New Continent, perhaps they could truly make use of what theyâve learned. This is probably why Far Shore Island has recently popularized the Dreaming Potion.
According to the information Ian gathered, the Dreaming Potion in the past was awarded to some well-performing Far Shore Islanders.
It was only in recent decades that the Dreaming Potion gradually became widespreadâbut not everyone can take it daily. This can be seen from the soldiers attacking the Atlantian Megalopolis, each gifted several yearsâ worth of Dreaming Potion, proving that not everyone has Dreaming Potion.
This indirectly supports Ianâs view that the value of the Dreaming Device for Far Shore Island was mainly for stability in the past, only recently changing direction due to the development of the New Continent.
In Ianâs hands, if he were to design the courses, Ian is confident that within ten years, everyone would be literate, capable of learning a lot of simple manual skills, and certain survival skills.
Beyond that, just learning alone wouldnât suffice.
After all, learning is meaningful only when people want to learn.
If learning is extremely hard, even painful, and people fail to understand its significance, then aside from the extremely troubled reality of the Far Shore Islanders, no one would want to undergo high-intensity dream training daily.
Forgetting what theyâve learned is the norm, and even skipping class is very common.
No matter how powerful a Learning Machine is, unless it directly pours knowledge into peopleâs heads, there is no guarantee that people will learn.
If you learn but have no place to apply it, it will discourage the learnersâ enthusiasm even more.
"But at the very least, it can serve as a paradise of rest!"
At this moment, Ian has decided that he must replicate this âFarwalker Colonization Starship Simulation Coreââat the very least, the âDreaming Deviceâ function must be replicated.
And through a weekâs observation, Ian has found a method to break through the surface of the Domain of Void, delve into the core of this Dream of the Virtual Realm, without causing significant disruptions.
At this moment, Ian controls his thoughts to split.
With Ianâs current computational and mental capabilities, if he only maintains the thought intensity of ordinary people, he could split into tens or even hundreds of thousands of parts without issue. But he doesnât plan to push it to the limit, so he only splits into a thousand parts. By replicating the guiding effect of the Dreaming Potion, he uses the pathways of a thousand other Far Shore Islanders who took the potion at night to infiltrate the Dream of the Virtual Realm.
"Huh? Who are you, why did you suddenly appear in... huh?!"
These logging Far Shore Islanders quickly find a figure completely composed of mosaics and garble, outlined by geometric patterns and lines appearing beside them after they log in. Initially, they were confused, but soon, as a dizziness set in, the âpersonal spaceâ constructed around them went completely black.
This is because a thousand Ians seized control of their personal space permissions. Then, these thousand Ians merged, using the âBUG reportâ channel as a direct excuse to connect to higher-level permissions of the Simulation Core.
A thousand simultaneous BUG report signals draw significant attention from the Simulation Core, though not enough to demand excessive permissions. With Ian receiving computational power support from the Heart of Terra and countless demon spirits from the City of Knowledge, he easily infiltrates the core permissions of the Simulation Core.
During this process, aside from the thousand âbotsâ temporarily replaced by Ian, no one notices anything amiss. Even the thousand bots resume enjoying their mansions after Ian completes the report, confused about what happened.
To be honest, with Ianâs current computational power, even the supercomputers from previous epochs might be on par or even eclipsed by him. Ian is also a master in Spirit Energy; even the Voidrealm Machine God probably couldnât outperform him in this aspect. Thus, he smoothly infiltrates deep into the Simulation Core.
In the deepest part of the Dream of the Virtual Realm, after breaching seventeen levels of firewalls to reach the core permissions of the Simulation Core, what Ian sees is an âAzure Starâ.
It shines incomparably, like a brilliant blue gemstone in the sky, its unique glow connecting with the consciousness of tens of millions of Far Shore Islanders whoâve entered the dream. Nearly a billion people, although not in the dream, have a deep connection with it.
