Chapter 718: Chapter 216: Reconciliation
Before putting on the helmet, Bai Quan held the terminal and made a phone call,
and after connecting, he directly said: "Iâve opened up the spectating access for you, keep an eye and estimate Chen Mingâs spiritual power level."
The voice of Bai Quanâs friend, the psychic, came from the other end of the phone: "Is this kind of simulation really reliable?"
"Of course itâs not reliable, so itâs just a rough estimate."
"Chen Ming came out of the Spiritual Ability Association, you know their rules, Chen Ming is now unwilling to accept any tests, so we can only use this method."
The psychic friend said with a slightly displeased tone: "If you ask me, just take advantage of his deep consciousness dive and secretly test him, many people are hoping Chen Ming will agree to a test someday, thereâs no need for all this fuss."
Bai Quan resolutely rejected this idea: "No, I donât want to turn a good friend into an enemy."
"Whatever, I was just casually suggesting."
Bai Quan didnât dwell on this and said: "Let me ask you something, for you psychics, is there anything that can assist in restoring spiritual power or directly improving spiritual power thatâs considered a good thing?"
"Something with both of these functions? Let me think."
"Spiritual Stones with the âspiritualâ characteristic, special spiritual creatures, ship spirits, spiritual weapons are also good, oh, by the way, Iâve heard of something called Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin, that might work too."
"Hmm... also various devices found in the ruins of that civilizationâs psychics, and the unique spiritual weapons they left behind, thatâs about it. Whatâs up, asking about this suddenly?"
"Nothing, I was just asking casually."
"I donât believe it, I bet youâre suspecting Chen Ming has something similar over there."
"Since you already know, why ask."
As Bai Quan spoke, he put on the helmet.
"Alright, enough chatter, we need to get in quickly, donât keep people waiting."
"Got it, got it."
Just when Bai Quan had just laid down in the equipment.
Chen Ming had already completed his deep consciousness dive, and his body was still able to function normally.
This is considered good news, at least Chen Ming wouldnât be rendered immobile on both ends due to the consciousness in the dummy.
But this put him in a rather peculiar state.
The part of consciousness in the dummy was indeed accelerated, but at the same time, this part of consciousness also caused some changes to the main consciousness in Chen Mingâs body, accelerating the thought speed of Chen Mingâs body as well.
The dummyâs thought acceleration multiplier allowed tasks that would take a month to be resolved in just a dozen hours.
The body-influenced thought speed acceleration is roughly around 10%, meaning Chen Mingâs body thought speed was accelerated nearly fivefold in just a few tens of seconds.
A day could be used like five days.
Of course, Chen Mingâs current thought speed was already accelerated several times with the aid of the hive mind networks of the Mechanical Race and Insect Race.
So the effect of these two together has led Chen Mingâs thought speed to an exaggerated level.
Wait a minute, Chen Ming suddenly understood why the bodyâs acceleration efficiency was only 10%.
Itâs because of these two hive minds.
The dummy only contained part of Chen Mingâs consciousness.
Itâs equivalent to an independent sub-consciousness controlled by Chen Ming yet affected by the thought speed of Chen Mingâs main body.
While the body not only hosts Chen Mingâs main consciousness but also the consciousness of the Insect Race and Mechanical Race, augmenting the bodyâs thought capabilities.
Thus it was jointly accelerated by the feedback from the dummy, so the overall acceleration efficiency was naturally lower.
Revisiting the current situation.
Roughly, the Mechanical Race and Insect Race provided thought speed boost for the body.
The body then provided the same thought speed boost to the consciousness in the dummy.
Then the thought acceleration of the dummy fed back to the body.
Due to the presence of the two hive minds, further acceleration couldnât stack, thus only reaching about five times the original.
The dummyâs and bodyâs enhancements didnât mutually stack, this kind of miraculous stepping into the sky didnât occur, resulting in the current situation.
Seems like when itâs over Chen Ming should ask the Insect Queen whether she felt any thought acceleration.
To observe whether the Insect Race and Mechanical Race were actually pure hindrances in this aspect or took a portion of the boost Chen Ming was supposed to have.
If it took a portion, then it would likely benefit the future development of the Insect Queen greatly.
Moreover, this situation doesnât significantly impact Chen Ming himself.
After all, the thought acceleration from the dummy is still substantial, allowing the dummy to accomplish many tasks at an astonishing thought speed.
Chen Ming quickly grasped the situation after the dummy went into deep consciousness dive.
Simultaneously, after slightly adapting to the accelerated thought, he quickly got used to it.
Yet this simulation device left a very deep impression on Chen Ming, given the exaggerated thought acceleration multiplier.
Previously, he hadnât paid attention to this type of existence within the simulation device.
Looks like Chen Ming will have to study this potentially brain and nerve-related technology later.
Chen Ming actually has a similar item at hand.
Something obtained from Dusk, the Neural Overclocking Device.
It possesses the ability to stimulate brain nerves within a certain period post-use, enhancing nerve activity and accelerating thought.
When he first encountered this device, the files from Dusk indicated it was a relic from another civilization.
