The third day after the release of the [Digital Phase] rule.
A piece of hearsay about "Mind Connection" spread like wildfire, rapidly propagating across the internet.
Due to the rule's restrictions, the majority of those active online now were ordinary people and Ascendants who had failed their challenges. The forr occupied a significant voice on various social dia platforms, discussing the rumor of unknown origin.
"Can Ascendants really use Mind Power for ntal communication like the rumor says?"
"Where did this news even co from?"
"If they can do sothing like that, wouldn't Ascendants not need communication devices like phones at all in the future? They could just contact each other through telepathy!"
"Holy crap, that would be way too convenient! It's so unfair to us ordinary people!"
This unverified rumor that spread left ordinary people feeling envious and jealous upon hearing it.
Originally, as ti passed, the advantages of Ascendants compared to ordinary people were growing larger and larger. And it was visibly evident that modern weapons were becoming less and less restrictive against Ascendants. Sooner or later, there would be a large number of Ascendants who feared no modern weapons. When that day ca, the status of ordinary people would undoubtedly plumt to rock bottom.
Now, there was this rumor that Ascendants might be able to communicate with each other through telepathy, which was an even greater blow to ordinary people.
Because this ant that in the future, the Ascendant community could completely communicate separately through this thod, thereby completely shutting out ordinary people. The very thought was terrifying!
You have to understand, even a website literally nad "Ascendant Ho" didn't impose any restrictions on non-Ascendants registering and logging in. Many users active on the site were ordinary people.
If Ascendants later had an independent communication channel, they would truly be heading down a path completely separate from ordinary people.
The Counterasures Research Office also captured this rumor spreading online at the first opportunity.
Pinpointing the source of the rumor was difficult, but that wasn't important. What was important was whether this rumor was actually true?
Zhang Minglu from the research office imdiately proceeded with experintal testing.
The few test subjects he selected gathered at the experintal site on the afternoon of August 4th.
There were four in total: Dragon Soul, Silver Fox, Chen Na, and Bai Xuewu.
Both Dragon Soul and Silver Fox looked very solemn. Silver Fox, who usually loved to joke around, had beco sowhat withdrawn and taciturn after experiencing the sacrifice of three team mbers during the earthquake rule.
Chen Na stood together with Bai Xuewu. The two had gotten to know each other during a previous mission and had gotten along quite well.
Although Bai Xuewu was a socially anxious hobody, she was very friendly towards Chen Na because Chen Na was a few years younger and quite cute-looking. Bai Xuewu had even invited her to her place to hang out a few tis.
Zhang Minglu was actually happy to see Bai Xuewu develop so other social relationships. If she only maintained a single line of contact with him, there might be hidden dangers in the future.
"I called the four of you here today to test 'Mind Connection.' You're all aware of the relevant information, right?"
Dragon Soul said, "Yes, we received the briefing you sent, Doctor."
Zhang Minglu nodded. "Specifically, it ans when two people make Mind Power contact, and simultaneously hold the thought of 'connecting with each other' in their minds, it's possible to construct a ntal bridge through Mind Power to communicate with each other."
"Doctor, is this news hidden intelligence released by that Administrator?" Dragon Soul asked.
"Uncertain."
"That guy probably wouldn't touch network devices during the rule period, otherwise he'd fail, right?" Bai Xuewu muttered, looking sowhat listless overall.
Clearly, for a hobody like her, not being able to go online for a month was truly a great tornt.
Zhang Minglu smiled. "He doesn't have to touch it himself. Giving the news to soone else and having them post it online achieves the sa thing."
Bai Xuewu was stunned for a mont, her face showing surprise at the realization that such an operation was possible.
Her expression, as if such a simple thing was incredibly complex, left everyone, including Chen Na, feeling speechless.
Zhang Minglu shook his head helplessly. "You really should go out more and make more friends."
"No way, that's so boring," Bai Xuewu pouted.
"Anyway, the source of the information isn't important. What's important is determining whether the thod is feasible or not." Zhang Minglu divided the four into groups. "Dragon Soul, you and Silver Fox are a pair. Chen Na, you and Bai Xuewu are a pair. All four of you have mastered Mind Power Flow, which will make Mind Power contact more convenient and safer."
To break the "Mind Lock" that restricted the natural growth of their Mind Power, these four had spent all their leisure ti over the past few months diligently practicing Mind Power Flow.
Before the earthquake rule, Zhang Minglu had even specially invited Shi Jingyi to the base three to five tis to give extra tutoring and accelerate the cultivation progress of the official team's Ascendants.
And the final result was good. As of today, a portion of the talented individuals in the official team, like the four here, had successfully mastered Mind Power Flow and used the flowing Mind Power to break open the restraints of the Mind Lock. The future looked promising for the others as well.
After preparations were complete, the testing began.
The four pairs reached out and held hands, slowly releasing Mind Power in the form of energy from within their bodies.
Upon contact, the thought in all four of their minds was the sa: to establish a Mind Connection with the person they were looking at.
At first, there was no change, but after maintaining this thought for about seven or eight seconds, a strange feeling arose in the hearts of all four.
They all felt that a part of their own Mind Power seed to have beco a part of the other person's Mind Power, remaining within the other's body.
This feeling was wonderful and hard to describe. It was as if a part of your own body had fused into soone else's body, yet you could still feel its presence.
"I feel... like the connection succeeded!" Chen Na, being the youngest of the four and the least able to contain herself, couldn't help but exclaim softly the mont she succeeded.
Bai Xuewu, connected to her, also nodded. "I have the sa feeling."
Dragon Soul and Silver Fox felt the sa. Seeing this, Zhang Minglu, standing to the side, showed excitent and clapped his hands. "Good! Now, next, separate and try to communicate using your minds."
Upon hearing this, all four let go of each other's hands, looked at their partner, kept their mouths closed, and yet the part of their own Mind Power left in the other's body seed capable of producing sound.
To be precise, it wasn't "sound." It was more like a signal that resonated directly in the other person's mind.
(Sister Bai, can you hear ?)
Chen Na silently shouted in her mind.
The next mont, her eyes widened because she heard Bai Xuewu's voice ringing out inside her own head.
(I heard you, little sister Xiao Na. By the way, this voice popping directly into my head feels really weird.)
"It worked!" Chen Na happily turned her head to look at Zhang Minglu. "Doctor, we just talked inside our minds!"
"Excellent!" Zhang Minglu looked at Dragon Soul and Silver Fox, and the two also nodded to indicate success.
Zhang Minglu rubbed his hands together, very excited. "Then next, let's conduct multi-person and distance tests. Let's see if this Mind Connection can connect multiple people simultaneously, and what the maximum communication distance can reach!"
He couldn't help but feel excited because the success of the experint ant humanity had discovered yet another completely new application for Mind Power.
Before this, no one had thought that Mind Power could also be used to establish Mind Connections. If this thod beca widespread in the future and large-scale, extensive connections were established, what would society beco?
Over the next few hours, testing continued.
In addition to testing the number of people in a Mind Connection and the sensory distance of the connection, various other tests were conducted, such as "the relationship between thought and telepathy" and "whether one can unilaterally block the other."
After the testing concluded, the compiled and summarized results were placed on the conference room table that very evening.
Everyone who read them was extrely astonished by the results.
"After establishing a Mind Connection between Ascendants, they can actually communicate ntally regardless of distance?!"
"There's also no upper limit to the number of people who can establish a connection simultaneously. This ans that given enough ti, every Ascendant could be incorporated into this vast Mind Network..."
"Everyone can speak to all connected people at the sa ti? How is that possible? If everyone speaks, wouldn't it be complete chaos in their heads?!"
Compared to others focusing on the details, the person in charge, Gao Liangwei, was more concerned with the macro-level implications.
After reading it, he put down the paper report and asked with a frown, "Dr. Zhang, according to the test results, this Mind Connection doesn't have a central point."
"That's correct," Zhang Minglu explained. "It's completely a decentralized Mind Network. Every Ascendant connected to it is an independent node, and simultaneously, everyone can also be the center, broadcasting to everyone!"
