The reason why the full-realistic models of people inside the virtual combat room can fight just like real humans, allowing the opponent to gain sufficient real combat experience through such battles,and not like online-game bosses that only rigidly cast skills, which can be easily farmed once you grasp the pattern,is entirely because of the intelligent core inside the virtual combat room that controls these models.
This intelligent core is an artificial-intelligence soul tool. It is like Tony Stark's JARVIS—an artificial intelligence.Facing it is the same as facing a soul master who truly possesses wisdom and can adapt and react,rather than a rigid robot.
This is completely different from the simple intelligent program Austein is currently using—the matrix soul tool.They are not on the same level at all.
The matrix soul tool is merely an intelligent program.It is nothing more than an upgraded large-scale data-processing system.But an artificial-intelligence soul tool is a gorgeous qualitative leap built on that foundation.
The matrix soul tool can create realistic, complete combat maps,but an artificial-intelligence soul tool, in a sense, is equivalent to artificially creating a living soul-tool lifeform.
If one wants a soul tool to possess life, the first thing Austein must do is allow the rare metals used in crafting the soul tool's core magic formation to possess life.
For rare metals to possess life does not mean the metal comes alive,but that the rare metal possesses its own soul and emits the aura of life.
This can only be achieved through metal soul-forging.Metal spirit-forging can only allow the metal to emit a trace of spirituality.
To put it mystically, soul-forging is like enlightening the metal,turning it from a dead object into a living, active existence, uplifting the metal's level of life.
From this entire introduction above, everyone should be able to feel how difficult it is to create a virtual combat room.
To accomplish the current ultimate goal of creating the virtual combat room,Austein must prepare thoroughly.At this moment, the preparatory progress is still stuck at the step of the Spirit Power External-Release soul tool.
Two days passed, and Austein finally succeeded in creating the Spirit Power External-Release soul tool.He put the headband-shaped soul tool on his head and adjusted its position.
After injecting a small amount of soul power, Austein's spiritual power sharply detected a newly formed spiritual-power pathway.One end of this path connected to Austein's Sea of Consciousness, and unsurprisingly, the other end connected to the outside world.
After confirming that no one would interrupt him, Austein decisively urged his spiritual power to surge into that pathway.
The pathway wasn't long—only about one second.Austein felt a slight tremor in his Sea of Consciousness.Then, even though his eyes were closed, Austein saw the scene of his laboratory.
Clearly, this was the sign that Spirit Power External Release had succeeded.The scene he was seeing now was the image captured by his spiritual power sensing the external world, then transmitted directly to his brain.
This kind of image was somewhat different from what eyes normally saw:
First, the spiritual-power image did not possess vivid colors.The colors he sensed only appeared because he already knew what color those things were.
Second, the perspective was different.
The eyes often see flat images.For objects that block one's line of sight, their backside cannot be seen.
But spiritual-power scanning has no such limitation.As long as spiritual power can reach the area, the image reflected in the brain is complete and three-dimensional, without any blind spots.
"Mm, this feels a bit like God's perspective,"Austein evaluated the marvel of spiritual-power imaging.
Then he tried manipulating his spiritual power,making the area covered by his spiritual power shift according to his thoughts.
With the help of the Spirit Power External-Release soul tool, this wasn't difficult.
Austein practiced for three minutes and was already fairly skilled at controlling spiritual power.Through this control, he discovered that spiritual power did not necessarily need to be used in a full-coverage scan;he could also condense spiritual power into a ray-like line and rotate it to scan.
This method allowed him to detect a wider range than full-coverage scanning,but it required more mental "fill-in-the-gaps" ability.
After all, the images presented by a ray-like scan constantly rotated and changed.Each image would not remain in the mind for long,requiring him to mentally integrate them into one complete regional image.
"Mm… If I can use a detection soul tool in the future, I should still use the soul tool,"Austein concluded after assessing the difficulty of using spiritual power to detect.
After all, this method required extremely strong spatial imagination and instantaneous memory.Austein could do it,but it was far too troublesome—if he could be lazy by using a soul tool, he certainly would not bother with such effort.
Honestly, spiritual-power detection not only consumed large amounts of spiritual power,its detection range was also inferior to soul tools.Its cost-performance was not high.
"Still, it can serve as a hidden trump card in special situations, so I should practice it.Since that's the case, let me first test the maximum detection distance."
Austein focused his mind, condensed his spiritual power even more, chose a direction, and sent it outward.
His spiritual-power tendril quickly passed through the metal wall of the laboratory.As it passed through, he felt noticeable resistance, and the consumption of spiritual power increased.
Fortunately, although the lab's walls were excellent at soundproofing and protection,they weren't particularly thick,so the tendril successfully entered the adjacent room.
In the narrow sliver of vision he could currently see, there was no person.Austein carefully moved the spiritual-power tendril to capture more images to determine where it had entered.
After rotating the tendril about thirty degrees,Austein saw Tang San behind an operating table, fully focused on his work.
Austein understood instantly—this must be Tang San's laboratory.He didn't try touching Tang San.After casually scanning the room, he continued forward.
But this time, when his spiritual-power tendril tried to pass through the next wall,he clearly felt a sense of powerlessness.
"So this is the limit?"Austein did not forcefully make his spiritual power penetrate the wall.He slowly retracted the tendril—he definitely did not want to experience spiritual-power overdraw again.
After reclaiming his spiritual power, Austein removed the headband-shaped soul tool.He didn't open his eyes immediately, instead calmly sensing his spiritual-power condition.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the small lake representing his spiritual power had decreased by about one-third.
Austein knew that once the remaining amount dropped to half,he would fall into unconsciousness.So this level of consumption was not small at all.
Opening his eyes, Austein felt a clear wave of fatigue,but it wasn't to the point of overdraft.Probably a two-hour nap at noon would restore him.
Sitting in his chair, Austein carefully recalled the process of Spirit Power External Release.
"The total duration was about twenty minutes.Counting the spiritual-power consumption from creating the soul tool earlier,if starting with full spiritual power,I should be able to maintain Spirit Power External Release for forty minutes.
I don't know whether this duration is enough to complete the metal soul-forging process.I should practice it properly in the Omniscient Library first rather than rushing into real work.
As for distance, it truly isn't that long.The full-coverage range is roughly a ten-meter radius.The ray-like scanning distance is a bit farther—just over thirty meters, not even forty.
Hmm… Spirit-power detection is indeed a bit chicken-rib-like (tasteless but wasteful to throw away).But that's fine. Perhaps I can develop some other uses for it.
As for now, I should go find Oscar for one of his Recovery Big Sausages and then take a nap."
Thinking this, Austein immediately stood up and headed toward Oscar's laboratory.
