Chapter 94: Understanding the Journey
"The defenses of this place have not been adequately upgraded."
In the dream, Ersh has left the 'river' area composed of subtle consciousness.
Crossing the river is not an easy task.
The surface of the ground is now marked by many huge scars left by falling rocks.
Although the creatures that left the traces have been eliminated by the defense system, the damage they caused does not seem to be repaired so quickly.
Because... Dream Ersh's defense system is not perfect enough.
Dream Ersh does not always remain the same once it is constructed. In fact, Dream Ersh has the function of upgrading.
It has the function of collecting dream energy and improving overall capabilities. For example, after collecting energy data of various dream creatures, it can grow stronger weapons.
Dream Ersh itself has the ability to analyze dream energy data and use the data to develop new functions.
This is also a function that Dream Ersh itself has, but it will not be used automatically. Instead, the controller needs to determine what data to use.
The controller is Lin, or any other Ershi people can be involved.
However, they are not very good at using this part of the system yet, and Lin has not taught them, so it can be said that Lin now has this system... monopolized by herself.
Lin is now detecting the dream energy of those dead creatures.
These stone-like creatures have now turned into fragments and are scattered on the surface of Ersh, by detecting them.
Through the fragments, Lin roughly knew what they were thinking.
Although Lin doesn't quite understand the thinking structure of the creatures here, Fragment knows quite a bit about it.
Therefore, the fragments can help Lin translate the thoughts of these creatures... and thus learn that the main reason they invaded the dreamland of Ersh is... they are exercising.
These conical stone-like creatures are similar to the current Ershi people, that is, they are training their body control.
The way they train is to destroy any giant objects they see.
The larger the object, the more it attracts them, including Dream Ersh of course.
Generally speaking, the things they smash are not living things. They have already crushed many giant objects around them.
But this time they encountered a defensive object like Dream Ersh... so they were destroyed here.
This fragment also expressed something strange. Although it had seen creatures that liked to destroy giant objects before, none of them would attack these "vehicles".
These creatures generally avoid vehicles, although vehicles are not common.
In short, Lin now put the data of these creatures into the data storage of Dream Ersh, and then tried to extract some of the data for analysis.
The system inside Dream Ersh will automatically analyze this data and try to use it in a useful way.
Lin no longer needs to control the analysis and upgrade part.
In fact, Lin would like to control its analytical function so that she can understand the dream energy in more detail.
Currently, Lin can only control which part to upgrade.
For example, the upgrade of the telescope tower also obtained some data improvements from the fragments.
Next, Dream Ersh continued to move towards the depths of the void.
The Ershi people are also continuously training their ability to control their bodies. Some of them are making very rapid progress, while others are no different from when they first started training.
It seems that this varies from people to people.
Lin's Veronica has been observing the situation in the surrounding void on the telescope tower.
This section of the road is rather boring, with no special scenery.
Now Dream Ersh is still within the coverage of the original distant shadow, and he has to go a long way before he can leave this range.
As for how long...it may be very fast or very slow, mainly depending on whether we can encounter some special areas of 'crossing points'.
The fragment told Lin that traveling in unpredictable places was somewhat different from normal void.
Here you can use the normal void method to judge the distance between objects, but the method of movement is a bit strange.
As far as Fragment knows, there is no such thing as a 'separate space' in the Unforeseeable Land, and all things are in the same 'level'.
So it is not possible to move across distances through space.
Of course there is no teleportation here, but sometimes there is an effect similar to teleportation.
Because the creatures in the unpredictable place have a strange ability called "mind movement".
When a creature sees an object, it judges how far it is from the target, imagines what obstacles are between itself and the target, and at the same time has the urge to go to the target.
At this time, the creature will start to move forward.
This seems to be the biggest difference from the normal void, a creature can move purely by imagination.
This is also called 'mind movement'.
Moving your mind is actually a kind of 'crawling'.
When a creature imagines the distance between itself and a target object and tries to move towards it, its own thinking core...will begin to absorb a special dream energy.
This kind of dream energy is generally located in the void in unpredictable places, and they are considered to be a very special species.
Because they are barely perceived by dream creatures, yet they propel them forward.
When living things move through thought, they are inhaling this energy and releasing it. This special energy passes through their bodies at a very fast speed, and the living things move forward during the thought process.
It seems that almost all dream creatures are born with this ability, whether they know it or not.
This is because most creatures cannot sense this dream energy at all...but as long as they think about going somewhere, their bodies will automatically start moving forward.
This feeling is somewhat similar to a fish in water, but the fish is completely unaware that there is water around it, and it finds that it can move forward just by swinging its body.
The speed at which thoughts move is also related to the thinking ability of the organism. It can be said that the more complex and powerful the thinking ability, the faster it can move.
At present, the thinking ability of these Ershi people can move in this way, and the fastest speed may reach one hundred meters in two seconds.
At present, Meng Jing Ersh is also using this method of "mind movement" to advance.
It moves forward by constantly locking onto a target one meter ahead. Not one meter on the surface, but one meter in the 'atmosphere'.
The edge of the 'atmosphere' of Dream Ersh is about 100,000 meters above the surface.
However, no matter how fast this speed is, it will never reach the speed of light, so to move long distances, you need to find a jumping point.
There are some special places, where just by using your mind to move there, you will feel as if you have suddenly experienced a very long time.
This kind of place is a jumping point, which can reach a very far place in an instant.
