Chapter 432 The Terrifying Cave Fable
Through the message uploaded by [Nautilus], Xia Xiu quickly understood the function of [Cave Fable].
In short, [Allegory of the Cave] is a collective cognitive manipulation Meme that can affect all residents in a specific area at a specific time. Only external observers can recognize it and avoid being distorted by contamination.
The core technology and principle is to use the Mimu group developed by 0-13 to form a huge [cognitive barrier] to the target. These barriers will surround the target like a cave, and everyone's recognition Zhi will be fixed in one place. They cannot turn their heads and can only see one wall of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is behind them, but they have never seen the world outside the cave.
There was a flame behind the men, and between them and the flame there was a road with a low wall.
The road is the way to [truth], the flame is the interactive [message channel], and the wall is the fixed [cognitive barrier].
The controllers of the cave never show up or preach. They just project the shadow of the message on the cave wall through the flame. The people who are fixed can only see these shadows in their lifetime, so they think these shadows It's reality, it's a real object.
Those inside the wall can only ever see the truth that the cave owner wants them to see. Only those who detect the deception can walk that path and get out of the influence of the barrier.
Walking to the outside world, he will be dazzled by the sunlight at first, but gradually, he will see a more real and beautiful world.
But, he will go crazy.
He could have endured the darkness if he had never seen the sun. However, the sunlight had made his desolation a newer desolation.
When he returns to the cave and tells others the truth of what he saw, the others will not believe him and even laugh at him, because the only world they know is the shadow, the world within the cave walls.
In the end, he will be defeated by nothingness.
This is Judith Iscariot’s [Angel Project].
Knowledge of a concept, object, or entity is anomalously erased from the memory of the affected species, and the [Easy Angel] can only be recognized by outside observers not exposed to the influence of the Meme Swarm.
Through [Allegory of the Cave], Heaven will be able to carry out [Group Logic Castration], [Strengthening Cognitive Barriers], [Cluster Memory Distortion], and [Large Area Memory Clearance].
Individuals affected by [The Fable of the Cave] still retain their memories of interactions with Forgotten Objects, but their brains are unable to construct the contextual knowledge associated with them.
Thus, even if the affected person is able to recall events related to the forgotten concept, these memories become fragmented and lack logic and coherence - and these forgotten items can be basic science, advanced mathematics, Thaumatology, ether observation, and even historical subjects, literature...
Not only does the memory of the forgotten concept become vague and difficult to describe, but when trying to recall the details of the relevant events, the affected person usually You will feel strongly counter-intuitive and psychologically uncomfortable.
This memory loss is long-lasting and self-sustaining, and even if the affected person is re-exposed to the concept, they will forget it again as soon as the topic is changed.
Through the above actions, the kingdom of heaven will complete the euthanasia of a certain civilization that is attacking.
Ideological death is more terrifying than physical death.
This is the [Angel of Peace Project] of the Kingdom of Heaven, and [The Allegory of the Cave] is just one of the development projects of this project.
“When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you...”
After reading all the messages related to the Angel of Peace, the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Looks like, really fucking looks like.
This kind of agnosticism, this kind of cosmic terrorism, this kind of intellectual pollution, cognitive distortion, supernatural observation perspective...
As long as the past human beings If you reverse the way you talk about facing gods, it will look even more similar.
The Kingdom of Heaven (gods) has unimaginable power, beyond the purpose that cave civilization (human beings) can understand, and its existence and actions are often beyond the understanding of cave civilization (human beings).
In front of the Kingdom of Heaven (gods), the cave civilization (human beings) will become insignificant and meaningless. What they will face is the fear and despair of the unknown and unknowable horror.
Facing the Kingdom of Heaven (gods), the psychology and perception of cave civilizations (human beings) are full of limitations. How fragile their reason and common sense are when facing the supernatural phenomena created by the Kingdom of Heaven (gods). and insufficient to rely on.
Once positions are reversed, justice will also show its fangs!
Those who fight the devil should be careful not to become the devil; when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.
To a certain extent, there is no difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the four monarchs, the stars, and the gods.
The easiest way to defeat the devil is to become a more powerful or evil devil. The most intuitive insight when staring into the abyss is to never fall into the abyss.
That’s why the Red King said at the beginning: Bring your kingdom of heaven and destroy the world with us. You will have everything you need in the new world.
The only difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and them is a crazy reason - the Kingdom of Heaven needs a reason, but they don't.
However, how is their image in the outside world different from the abyss?
"How many of the Anle Projects have we recycled so far?" Xia Xiu took a deep breath and asked [Adam].
[The early Angel of Peace project was all under the responsibility of Judith Iscariot. This pollution technology with a star-like color was not very recognized by the Ethics Committee in the early days, but due to the more inhumane vertical walls of various factions in the Kingdom of Heaven at that time Qing Yezhi argued that the secret jurisdiction project was finally approved; however, this may only be the content of the first phase of development, because there is no record in the database.
Eden was indirectly involved in the subsequent second and third phases of the Angel of Peace project. After the Messiah rebellion, these were forcibly recycled by Eden and the Supreme Program because the project The cost of existing risk control management is too high. Once a mistake is made, [Angel of Peace] may affect the entire world.
So the follow-up Peace Project began to turn to the physical level blockade. At that time, other departments of the Kingdom of Heaven were very interested in [Angels of Peace]. They believed that the [Crystal Sky] over Terra was somewhat similar to Angels of Peace in a sense. , but because of the particularity within Terra and the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven, the existence of [Crystal Sky] is a little embarrassing.
However, the direction developed by other departments is different from that developed by Judith. The right-wing angels hope to adopt a more peaceful way to deal with alien races, so they want to create a system similar to [Crystal Sky ]; right-wing angels advocate the creation of a permanent, insurmountable shielding field to be deployed on the surface of hostile civilization. However, with the current technical level and social environment, this project is not suitable for inclusion in the research and development sequence of the Kingdom of Heaven project, so it was Dian has been included in the abolition plan——]
"Then they will probably have to wait a little longer. My [gospel project] has not been completed yet." Xia Xiu complained casually.
The engineering projects of the Kingdom of Heaven are all big projects, and there are only a few places given by Eden every year. This is after excluding the maintenance and annual research and development fees of [space-based engineering].
Moreover, since the establishment of the Honkai Administration Bureau, there has been another big resource-hungry player in Heaven. The extraordinary and high welfare system of so many [executives] in this world relies on Father Eden's extravagant spending.
You have no money, but you still want to save the world! ?
"Open a new record, the recycling of the first phase of the Angel Angel project. However, before recycling, I need to investigate according to the phase coordinate parameters recorded above."
[Record begins——]
At this moment, Xia Xiu began to control the robotic arms behind him that looked like Doctor Octopus, allowing them to quickly debug various complex parameters.
He discovered several fixed coordinates on the [Nautilus] and some anomalies of the ship.
It is precisely because of these anomalies that Xia Xiucai did not directly turn the [Nautilus] into his own shape with the fire of data. He was afraid that his fire would burn down the engineering data and anomalies debugged inside the ship. The sex will be deleted and reset immediately.
[Parameters have been debugged——]
[Preparing——]
[10···9···7···]
“I want to see if this country of the sea of fog can continue to be like a carrot. Zi usually continued to drag out some relevant deeds."
Xia Xiu held the ship's manual control device.
On this weird trip to the Sea of Mist Country, he always felt that the water hidden inside was very deep. If any weird alien species civilization was discovered in the subsequent investigation, he would not know it at all. Be surprised.
[···3···2···1! ]
[Start to dive——]
[Nautilus Tip: This ship has a depth transfer abnormality. When immersed in a water body of a certain depth, the ship will be quickly Surrounded by turbid water, and then transported to a parallel reality location, during this transfer process, Nautilus will cross the boundaries of ordinary physical space and enter a different reality dimension——]
This is what it is used for Use a deep ship equipped with [Fable of the Cave] because it has abnormal characteristics that can provide a special connection point.
So, it is naturally used as a tool for circumventing the wall.
As long as [Nautilus] retains its anomalous properties as a node, it will not be affected by [Fable of the Cave].
[Start deep dive——]
[Dive...]
[External pressure: 31bar]
[Hull status :The cabin pressure is normal]
[Depth: 120···200···300···]
In the deep blue sea, [Nautilus] dives slowly.
The outside of its body is filled with steampunk copper pipes and gears. The hull of the ship is made of smooth and strong alloy, and its surface is carved with exquisite and complex patterns. Every copper seam and The decorations are all carefully crafted and the windows are made of reinforced glass.
In the control room, light reflects on various instruments and screens, and copper decorations and luminous electronic screens complement each other, creating an atmosphere of futurism and retroism.
[Depth: 500 meters——]
Rumble——
When the depth reached 500 meters, the ship began to shake crazily and uncontrollably.
The surrounding environment began to undergo strange changes, and the water began to become extremely turbid, as if there was an invisible force brewing in the water, gradually surrounding the ship.
The deep sea waters around the ship suddenly became turbulent, and circles of water rippled silently, forming layers of waves. These waves are different from ordinary waves. They appear to be slow, but in fact they contain powerful power. They seem to be driven by some unknown energy and are quietly changing the nature of the ocean.
In this incredible water movement, the ship's lights captured some anomalies.
Dark blue dimensional gaps began to appear underwater. They were like rifts between the real world and another space, shining with a strange and fascinating light. These gaps gradually widened, as if showing the ship the entrance to another dimension.
These dimensional gaps slowly twist and expand in the water, and the surrounding water seems to be attracted into them, creating a strange visual effect.
The ship seems to be gradually being sucked into an unknown and mysterious realm, and every flicker reveals information and existence beyond common sense to the explorer.
[Coordinate point detected: *&#@……%]
[There is a correction phenomenon in the coordinate point——]
[The path is extremely unstable——]
[Y/N continue to dive deep? ]
The ship's internal instruments began to sound alarms, and various sensors captured unprecedented data.
Xia Xiu chose without hesitation that the correction of the coordinates meant that [Nautilus] did not perform engineering tasks on Europa before, but that someone later brought [Nautilus] to Europa. Six, he has already guessed who this person is.
“Continue.”
[Keep diving! ]
[Nautilus] received the order from the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven and began to continue deep diving at the risk of unstable coordinates.
Rumble——
At this moment, the inside of the ship began to shake violently as if it was grasped by a huge hand.
The siren echoed in the narrow metal corridor, and the lights in the control room flickered on and off amidst the vibrations.
The robotic arm operated the console urgently, trying to stabilize the ship that was bumping in the deep sea. The hull of the ship creaked, as if in protest against the ruthless violence of the deep sea.
“Damn, what is going on!”
In another cabin of [Nautilus], Bazin tightly held the mechanical armrest next to him, trying to stabilize himself while shaking violently. A swaying body.
The sound of sirens kept echoing in the ears, and the tense atmosphere was almost palpable.
He looked through the reinforced glass window of the ship's control room at the violent and chaotic ocean outside.
In this crazy seabed, those dimensional rifts seemed to have become dark portals, leading to an unknown and terrifying world.
From these cracks, terrifying sea creatures began to crawl out. Their appearance was like a nightmare in the abyss, bringing suffocating fear.
They have huge bodies that are tens of meters long. Their skin is a dark blue to black tone with silvery gray markings. They have a five-point body and their heads are similar to prehistoric giant octopuses. , has a pair of huge and penetrating eyes, which emit a faint light underwater, like a lighthouse in the deep sea. Their mouths are huge and surrounded by countless swinging tentacles, each of which is covered with suckers and sharp barbs.
These huge creatures, with their formidable bodies and incredible speed, swam towards the [Nautilus] quickly.
“This is... a sea monster!?”
When Bazan's eyes fell on the monsters crawling out of the abyss, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were tightly locked on every movement of these terrifying creatures.
Yes, these monsters have almost the same appearance as the monster that attacked the man-made base, except that they are much smaller than the 100-meter-high ocean giant, their size is only 10~ 20 meters.
