Chapter 59: virus

　　 It turns out that the forces represented by the two evil realms are viruses, but the "plague" touches the biological virus in reality, and the "curse" is a virtual virus that can shake the spiritual world and the magic web.
　　 As a civilization developed on the basis of a cyber society, wizards would feel jealous of dark wizards, and it is not incomprehensible. And according to this logic, the so-called "protection technique" of wizards that can resist curses and spells is probably a "firewall".
　　 The reason that Miss real name can save herself is very simple, because there is a special firewall program on her-this has been confirmed before, and others can't even see her.
　　 "But this is far more terrifying than computer viruses in the past..."
　　 Richard wants to come now, still a little afraid.
　　 If you do not consider the consequences of the leakage of database information with great value. As far as personal computers are concerned, the worst consequence of a virus is that it cannot be opened.
　　 But the curse spells of this era are different. They can also cause great harm to the human body; or more precisely, it is aimed at the magic power in the human body. The wizard body of this world is equivalent to a terminal closely connected to the Internet, and now Richard is also a member of it.
　　 "In fact, in the past, network viruses were also a personal hazard that could not be ignored. Hackers who committed information crimes were arrested for deliberately injuring others."
　　 said the real lady.
　　" Hacking or virus infection may cause the chip implanted in the brain to be overwhelmed and burned, resulting in brain damage."
　　 From this point of view, the wizards and knights of the new era are just like those cyber residents who are intubated behind their heads in the near-future world, and the integration with the virtual world is further manifested.
　　 "I have another question."
　　 Richard said.
　　 This question is a little hard to tell.
　　 "...It is obviously a confrontation that takes place in the online world. Why is there such a strong sound and light effect? ​​That is a virus? Is the virus invasion of the future world so cool?"
What "black sun hanging above the sky", "a large number of tentacles stretched out from the sun", and the storm-like shock wave that he set off when he used the power of his real name to fight against it... He was not incomprehensible The technical reason why this phenomenon occurs is the virtual world after all, and some special effects couldn't be easier. But what he couldn't understand was the reason.
The magic knowledge of wizards is divided into nine domains, but in these nine domains, it can actually be divided into two categories according to the scope of utility: one is interference in the real world, such as elemental spells in the natural domain , Or alchemy aimed at inorganic matter, aimed at the life field of organic matter; while the other is aimed mainly at the spiritual world. The latter includes the three main areas of curse, channeling, and curse.
　　 The realization of the former type of spells is actually inseparable from the intermediary of magic elements. The magic element is based on the spiritual world, so the latter type can also interfere indirectly. It is not unreasonable that some wizards in the field of spells will proudly call the field they study "basic subjects".
　　 He originally thought that compared to the confrontation between flames and frost, or the creation of huge metal golems and monsters, the confrontation in the field of curses and curses would be more unpretentious, but it seems that this is not the case.
　　 "......"
"Do not you know……?"
　　 "Sorry, I don't know too much, sir."
　　 The black-haired girl lowered her eyes slightly, looking slightly disappointed.
　　 "It's okay, it's not your fault."
　　 Richard shook his head.
　　 "You used to have no chance to learn, but now it is different. I will not restrict you in this respect."
"May I?"
　　 "Of course." He shrugged, "I'm also very interested in discovering the truth about the new world. I wouldn't mind if I had a chance to find the answer."
　　 As for the possible omnic crisis, Richard has never cared about it. The New World has not even formed a unified political power, and there is still a risk of destroying a developed scientific civilization. When there is no way to connect to the previous generation of civilization databases, talking about the dangers of artificial intelligence is like talking about soldiers on paper.
　　 The most important thing is that as far as Richard is concerned, he has never felt that there is something wrong with the world ruled by artificial intelligence.
"Then, let us discuss it together. Why do you think there will be an abnormal landscape in the spirit world during a spell confrontation? If it is just an illusion, then only one side should be able to see it. But you think, now Haven't all the onlookers seen it?"
　　 Miss real name tilted her head slightly. It took a while to make a guess.
　　 "......sir~EbookFREE.me~ I think it is the function of the meditation peculiar to this era."
　　 So that's it.
　　 Richard nodded thoughtfully
　　 This is not an unfounded guess. Because when the real lady mentioned this point, he suddenly discovered that there were certain phenomena that he hadn't noticed in the past, but now think about it as suspicious:
　　 For example, the network is obviously intangible, it is not a substantive existence. But when he meditated, he had the impression that the magic net was a "huge and crystal-clear grid"; and in the books teaching meditation, this phenomenon was also recorded, which shows that all people who study meditation will produce The same illusion.
　　 Coincidentally, the confrontation between "virus" and "firewall", or "curse" and "protection", is also presented to people in a very fierce and intuitive way. Not only him, but everyone present can see it.
　　 "This world, human spirit, or soul, may play a bigger role than imagined..."
　　 Richard thought so.
　　In the era where he lived, even though brain science and neuroscience have made considerable progress, people's understanding of the spirit and soul still remains at a relatively shallow level.
　　 The country where he lived before he was sent to the hibernation coffin popularized materialist education, such as "materials are primary and spirits are secondary" and so on. But for some neuropsychologists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers of mind, this materialism is far from thorough. In their view, there is no consciousness in the world. It is only an illusion or a kind of literary rhetoric that human beings have a mind or spirit. The essence is the function of biomass hormones and nerves, and the brain is only the dominant human body and the outside world. Algorithmic platform for communication.
