Chapter 212 Technology and Charlatans, Anti-Dream Armament!
"Dream signal amplifier?"
Shen Mo was completely stunned when he heard the name.
"Advisor, you're not joking, are you?"
"Dreams... are neural activities of the cerebral cortex, they are idealistic."
"Signal amplifiers process electromagnetic waves; they are materialistic."
"You want me to use a materialistic tool to amplify an idealistic concept?"
"This...this is even more outrageous than asking me to punch my own shadow!"
Shen Mo felt that his scientific worldview had been impacted like never before.
"I know this sounds outrageous," Su Chen said calmly.
"But as you just saw, although the 'power of dreams' is idealistic, it still produces law fluctuations that we can observe when it dissipates."
"This shows that idealism and materialism are not completely separate; there is an 'interface' between them, a 'channel' through which they can be converted into each other."
"You mean..." Shen Mo's breathing became rapid.
He seemed to have grasped something crucial.
"That's right." Su Chen confirmed his idea.
"I don't need you to understand the principles of dreams. I just need you to design a 'device' that targets the fluctuations of the laws I gave you."
"When this fluctuation occurs, your device can capture it and amplify its 'amplitude' ten thousand times, ten million times!"
"To turn a whisper that only we could hear into a broadcast that the whole world can hear!"
Su Chen's explanation was simple and direct.
But Shen Mo understood.
Isn't this exactly what he's best at?
Regardless of the underlying principles, only look at the results.
Give him a goal, and he can use his "ingenuity" to "assemble" it!
"I see!"
"It's like we don't know the nature of sound, but we can still build a loudspeaker!"
A fervent light rekindled in Shen Mo's eyes.
"Theoretically feasible!"
"However, we lack the core theoretical foundation. Humanity's technological reserves in this area, which involves the spiritual and legal realms, are zero."
"I'll give you the theory."
With a thought, Su Chen activated the incomplete "Divine Body Condensation" technique.
All the theoretical knowledge about the interaction between mental power, will, and laws flooded into Shen Mo's brain like a torrent of data.
At the same time, another stream of data followed closely behind.
"This is technological information about a psionic civilization from the 'Prophet's' database."
"They excel at creating weapons that convert mental energy into physical energy. The combination of the two should be enough."
Shen Mo's brain was like an overclocked CPU, frantically processing this information that was ahead of its time and even beyond the comprehension of civilization.
His face turned bright red, and two streams of blood even flowed from his nose.
But he didn't care at all, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"I see... I see!"
"Mental power is itself a higher-dimensional form of energy!"
"It can resonate with the laws of lower-dimensional universes through specific runes and materials!"
"Genius! This is absolutely a genius idea!"
Shen Mo, like a child who had received his most beloved toy, immediately threw himself into his research, neglecting to eat or sleep.
Su Chen knew that this matter would take time.
Before Shen Mo's research yields results, he still needs to prepare some "life-saving" items for others.
The biggest advantage of the "Nightmare" is that their attacks are impossible to defend against.
Therefore, once the defense problem is solved, their threat will decrease dramatically.
Su Chen simplified the same theory and handed it over to another team at the Federal Academy of Sciences.
Their mission was simpler and more direct—to create a personal device that could protect the user's mind from intrusion.
half a month later.
At the weapons testing range of the Spark Lab.
Zhao Gang, Lin Xue, and other leaders of the alliance all watched the scene with serious expressions.
In the center of the arena stood an A-rank lightning-type awakened individual.
He was wearing a strangely shaped, silver-white metal helmet covered with blue lines.
"Is this all you've come up with in half a month?"
Zhao Gang looked at the helmet and curled his lip.
"It looks like a tin foil cap. Can this thing really stop attacks from coming from dreams?"
"General Zhao, please do not doubt our professionalism."
The scientist in charge of the project adjusted his glasses and said with a serious expression, "We've named it the 'Guardian Type I' Anti-Dream Helmet."
"It integrates a miniature psionic stabilizer and a law resonance matrix, which, in theory, can isolate more than 90% of malicious mental intrusions."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the experiment began.
A captured prisoner, whose mind had been slightly corrupted by the "Nightmare," was brought to the testing ground.
The researchers used instruments to induce mental pollution in the prisoner's brain.
Instantly, a cold, chaotic mental fluctuation, like an invisible tentacle, spread towards the awakened one.
Everyone present felt a sudden, inexplicable panic and unease.
However, the Awakened One wearing the helmet only frowned slightly before returning to normal.
"Report! I feel something trying to get into my head, but it's blocked by my helmet! It's chilly, but it can't get in!"
He reported loudly to his superior.
"It's a success!"
The scientists cheered excitedly.
Zhao Gang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
It may look a bit ugly, but it works!
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The awakened individual seemed to have subconsciously activated their supernatural abilities due to extreme mental stress.
"Sizzle—"
Blue arcs of electricity danced across his body.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
Those electric arcs did not dissipate after they came into contact with the "Anti-Dream Helmet" on his head.
Instead, it seems to have been given some kind of "physical" quality, becoming more solid and brighter!
"what!"
The Awakened One seemed startled as well, and he instinctively waved his hand, trying to shake off the arcs of electricity.
A spear, about two meters long and made entirely of lightning, suddenly took shape in his hand.
Then it shot out with a whoosh and slammed into the alloy target in the distance!
boom!
The entire target, along with the concrete wall behind it, was blasted with a huge hole.
Everyone was stunned.
"What... what's going on?"
Zhao Gang's mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.
They all knew that awakened one; his ability was simply to generate electricity around his body for defense and close-range attacks.
When will we be able to throw the lightning spear?
This is an energy projection and shaping technique that only S-class powerhouses can achieve!
At this moment, Shen Mo and Su Chen's wills simultaneously realized something.
"The key..." Shen Mo murmured to himself.
"This is not just defensive equipment, it's a key!"
Su Chen's will also fluctuated violently.
He got it.
This helmet unexpectedly served as a "bridge".
It combines the awakened's own supernatural abilities (materialism) with their spiritual power (idealism)!
It allows idealistic "imagination" to be "manifested" in reality through materialistic "energy"!
This key opens a door to a completely new power system!
The reborn individuals present were so excited that they trembled all over.
They knew better than anyone what this meant.
This means that humanity may have the potential to master the power of creation that only exists in myths and legends!
However, just as the Earth Alliance was celebrating this groundbreaking technology...
Li Mo, far away in the asteroid belt, was connected to the institute through his informant within the Academy of Sciences.
They also learned of the successful development of the "Anti-Dream Weapon" immediately.
He immediately entered the dream and reported this information to his "master".
In the distorted dream space, the "Nightmare Lord" fell into a long silence after hearing the report.
For the first time, that invisible, chaotic aura produced a fluctuation called "unease".
"We can't wait any longer."
The Nightmare Lord's voice turned incredibly cold.
"These mortals have obtained keys that they should not have obtained."
"The original plan... will be executed ahead of schedule!"
