NABC Chapter 58 "Surfing"
Chapter 58 "Surfing"
After resting for a while after lunch, Fafnir regained some of his spirituality and continued his research on the Church of the God of Death's "Spiritual Remote Information Processing System".
He was somewhat disappointed; he had thought the board and card games would be something like the online real-time battles he had experienced in his previous life.
It turned out to be a rather useless face-to-face mode that only saved the chessboard and pieces; both players had to have remote information processing systems and be close to each other to use this function.
Maintaining a virtual system with spirituality... is not as good as receiving physical objects face-to-face.
Fafner truly couldn't understand who designed this; it had given him false hope, making him think it was the "Internet" from his past life. It seemed to be just a local area network.
The "text interaction" section in the entertainment area is even worse, consisting of just a few "e-books" and some outdated novels.
Where is the interaction?
But it's alright. In a world where even telephones might not exist, such a forward-thinking invention is quite remarkable.
Fafner had no choice but to turn his attention to the "Church Directory," the "Spiritual Materials Marketplace," the "Church News Announcements," and the "Academic Discussion Forum."
Uh……
The church directory was empty, containing only a number field resembling a dial pad.
That's understandable; it probably requires adding someone else's remote information processing system ID.
It should be used in a way similar to how Mr. Victor contacted Bishop Andrei on the "Anvil," which is quite useful.
I wonder if those projections in parliament at the time were also done through this system.
Will there be a group chat feature?
"It seems quite useful," Fafnir thought.
But why are the other three sections also empty?
Uh……
The several large blank interfaces really disappointed Fafnir.
The message above reads, "Please add the remote information processing system code. Spiritual information transmission fails when the distance is too far."
At what point will it become invalid? Probably when information can be exchanged throughout the entire Lorraine territory, Fafnir thought.
But at that time, Mr. Victor was far away at sea when he contacted Bishop Andre.
Fafner understood that this so-called remote information processing system was probably a system that used information transmission capabilities built in the spirit world to establish ports at various important nodes.
The silver badge is essentially a "screen" for displaying information, and a system access license for receiving and sending information.
I'm very grateful to Mr. Victor for giving me such a truly "high-tech" gift. If I hadn't been online before, I probably would have been completely taken aback.
Well... I also thank the church, and thank the person who designed this thing, so that I don't get addicted to the internet in this world...
……
On Sunday evening, Fafnir and Martha Allen had arrived at the grammar school. They took a carriage to a freight depot in the East End, and then walked to the school.
After having dinner in the cafeteria and buying lunch for tomorrow, Fafnir returned to his dormitory.
Soon, Mr. Victor arrived at Fafnir's room.
"Good evening, Mr. Victor."
"Good evening, good evening... I see your Telematics System badge is on the table."
Mr. Victor noticed the silver badge placed in the upper left corner of Fafnir's desk:
"How was it, Fafnir? I saw you used the telematics system. Was it fun? Did you like it?" Mr. Victor waited expectantly for Fafnir's reply.
"Of course I like it! Hmm..." Fafner considered for a moment:
"Hmm...fun...I think I've never seen anything like this in my life...how should I put it..."
This is truly a novel and brilliant invention.
"Haha, thank you, little Fafnir!"
I've been thinking you'd ask about those codes these past few days, but I figured you were busy with something else.
It's okay, don't be shy. Just ask me if you don't understand something.
Mr. Victor gladly accepted Fafner's words:
"This is the result of my work while I was pursuing my PhD in Spirituality at the First University of the Holy Land, my little Fafnir, you know? Thank you for liking it."
I am very proud to have been able to build it; even Bishop Andrei was skeptical when I first conceived of this idea.
Haha, of course, after all, the teacher doesn't understand this kind of knowledge; he's a mentor in the field of spiritual prophecy.
Well... to be honest, this system still has many imperfections, for example..."
Mr. Victor went on and on for a long time:
"By the way, Fafner, let's add the personal contact numbers for the telematics system."
My ID number is 1. If you want to contact me through the telematics system, just silently say "1" in the "Add Code" field.
"Thank you, my code is 859."
"I know," Mr. Victor said.
"You are the 859th person to have this telematics system. When the badge is with you and someone contacts you, you will feel a spiritual fluctuation."
As for the contact distance, it depends on the extraordinary levels of both parties. For example, Teacher Ze Ruo and I can contact each other throughout the entire Eastern Region.
"Between you and me, it's roughly the entire territory of Lorraine."
"By the way, Mr. Victor, I would like to ask, did you also use a projection to attend the council meeting in Lorraine that time?"
"That's right, but this requires the execution of a specific magical structure, and it consumes a lot of spiritual energy."
It takes about ten spiritual units to project, and it takes about a minute. Even when I do it, I need the assistance of a high concentration of spiritual materials.
Generally, it can only be used within a specific territory, but in reality, even a meeting of the entire Eastern Region can temporarily extend the distance of spiritual transmission through special means.
This system is unique to the Eastern Region. Some noble churches, war churches, and nature churches also possess some of our church's remote information processing systems.
"Okay, I understand, thank you. May I ask what the code is for the church's news and announcements section?"
"The code for that church news announcement is 0000. After you join, you can see messages from the Lorraine Territory Remote Information Processing System. This module can only show the distance of one territory."
"What are the other modules' codes for?"
"Haha," Mr. Victor said somewhat awkwardly.
"Well, these are just some ideas I had while reading them."
I'll improve it when I have time; maintaining it in the spirit world right now is quite troublesome..."
Well, it turns out it was left unfinished. Fafnir must be quite disappointed.
"Little Fafnir, don't feel regretful. Don't you also think those sectors were pretty good?"
For example, the entertainment sector,
In my vision, this is a platform that facilitates convenient communication within a specific region.
However, the maintenance and operation it requires are extremely costly.
It would require a messenger and several enlighteners to barely maintain a remote information processing system covering a certain area in the spirit world.
Its terminal for receiving and sending spiritual information is located at the boundary between the spiritual realm and reality.
Moreover, very few people own it and are able to use it.
