Luo Nan's consciousness entered the virtual brain interface once more. Two days and one night of downloading did not bring about too obvious of a change. There was only a new notification pop-up waiting there, covering the information refresh window. The notification said, "Offline test question database download complete." It seriously lacked a sense of ceremony.
Luo Nan was affected by this and was worried about the gravitational problem of the Abyss World. He didn't have any special feelings. He directly chose to confirm.
The notification pop-up disappeared and the information refresh window behind it appeared. New but familiar characters appeared: "Initiating verification procedure. Confirming activation of offline test procedure. Owner's genetic data has not been entered into the database. Results are being entered. Overall results fail. "
If he knew that he had to re-enter the questions, he would have taken advantage of these two days to do a few more sets of questions and increase his basic points!
Luo Nan chuckled in his mind. Then he saw the follow-up information continue to roll: "... Additional question database data pulled out … Determining additional question difficulty as Space-Time Configuration Heaven Stairway Level 2. Selecting questions."
Without any buffer, a clear change appeared in the virtual brain interface. The background of the deep starry sky began to expand. The central virtual brain galaxy seemed to come head-on. Millions and millions of stars shuttled and flowed, then scattered in all directions. It represented a process of drawing closer, enlarging, and focusing.
The stars became sparse and felt even more distant. A deep void filled most of his field of vision. But soon, the surface was smeared with a relatively rich color. The main source was a large blazing fireball in the distance. Because the light emitted was too intense, it passed through the diffraction and refraction of certain interstellar matter, forming an enormous warped dynamic facula of light. It blurred the proper spherical shape. A portion of its elongated extension was like a spewing light whip and tongue of flame. It cut across a small portion of his field of vision.
And so Luo Nan knew that he should have entered the range of a certain planetary system. He was able to observe the star's sun from a close distance.
While he was still analyzing, his field of vision was completely out of his control. He avoided the powerful light of the star and turned in a different direction.
A bit of green vaguely sprouted in the void of that position. It rapidly enlarged in the center of the interface. It had a relatively distinct curved boundary. It was clearly a rapidly expanding planet in his field of vision, and it was brimming with the aura of life.
"It's like playing a game or watching a movie …."
Luo Nan couldn't find the feeling of being tested for a time. But it was a bit lacking to say that he was immersed in the scene. The immersive effect was not as good as virtual reality, and his sensory perception lacked real feedback. He knew very well that he was still on the yacht, transmitting information through space and waiting for the test question to appear.
While he was pondering and studying, a series of data quickly popped up at the edge of the interface between the habitable planet and the void. The entire field of vision instantly turned into an information window similar to the cockpit.
Visualized dynamic information was distributed in the field of vision in a complex and logically connected graphic pattern. From surface data to in-depth analysis indicators, everything was available.
At least in Luo Nan's eyes, this was the case.
A lot of the information was filled with symbols and units that he could not understand. They were profound and highly professional, beyond the scope of an intuitive translator like him.
If it was a game, the newbie guide was really terrible …
But this was a test, the kind that did not bode well.
Luo Nan's scalp was a bit swollen. He was afraid that he would miss out on some important information. He opened his eyes wide and read the decipherable information of the memory information interface in one gulp. And during this process, his field of vision plunged into the atmosphere of the green planet in front of him.
The feeling of a game or a movie came again. The image of the planet rotated at an unrealistic high speed, forming a fast forward effect. At the same time, even more complex information, data, and corresponding analysis diagrams were flung out to the edge of his field of vision.
Luo Nan couldn't keep watching.
Luo Nan waited for the planet's rotation speed to return to normal with great difficulty. Just as he was about to catch his breath and reorganize the structure of information, his passive field of vision was instantly filled with a dynamic image of an explosion.
It really was an explosion!
What Luo Nan saw right now was a desperate battlefield.
Successive explosions of intense light and raging flames tore apart the primordial greenery and burned half the sky red. Flying targets were shot down every second, and buildings on the ground were destroyed at the same time. Fatal flashes of light and impact crisscrossed between the sky and the ground ….
Though there was no sound input and it was like a pantomime, this was a war!
And at this time, a mission window popped up in an eye-catching position on the cockpit management interface. Compared to the specialized interface that caused people to shrink back, the mission description was quite clear:
A high resolution satellite image locked onto the core region where the flames of war swirled. There was a large base called XX Relay Station.
According to the introduction, the complex complex of buildings on the ground was only a small portion of the base. More facilities were still underground, and the core area was hidden in a special space-time structure that was similar to a demiplane or a space fault.
Luo Nan was able to understand this even though he guessed it.
There were many introductions inside that touched upon more specialized domains. Luo Nan didn't understand half of it. The majority of the information he didn't understand was skipped.
All in all, this base was extremely important. It possessed extremely high strategic value … … Whether it was a movie, a game, or a test, all of this was necessary. It didn't hinder the understanding of the questions.
Luo Nan carefully studied the key descriptions. The general meaning of the mission panel was:
This was an important base sandwiched between three layers. The outermost layer was equipped with a XX defensive space-time barrier. It served as a bunker against external enemies. It could be understood as some sort of enchantment.
But right now, the enchantment was on the verge of collapse under the high intensity of the enemy's attacks.
Luo Nan's test question was to take a step further in upgrading the defensive power of the Relay Station based on the situation of the battlefield and the enemy's strength. He didn't destroy the base's sandwiched three-layer layout and retained the existing enchantment.
The idea of the test was very clear. It was a test of Luo Nan's space-time configuration design ability.
This was a very appropriate test if the questions were examined correctly.
Clearly, the Heaven Stairway level of questions were on a completely different level from general knowledge application questions. The practical requirements were extremely high. It was already very close to actual combat.
Luo Nan also discovered during the examination of the questions. Other than the intuitive interface of the cockpit management interface, he could also pull up various design blueprints of the base if he needed them. Geological structure diagrams, construction diagrams, and even the core planar configuration design were all there.
Luo Nan skimmed a few glances. There were also all sorts of changes to the infrastructure and the dynamic losses of war. Everything was there … … It was simply excessive. It formed a complete historical chain from the beginning of the base's construction all the way until now.
Wasn't this test question designed according to actual combat examples? Perhaps there really did exist such a large-scale base at a certain time in the universe. There was such a war. There was such a node that required the contributions of a certain configuration designer.
A sense of history assaulted his senses. Compared to this, the lack of "authenticity" in the senses was secondary.
It was reasonable to say that any examinee would have nothing to say when the background information was given to this degree. All they needed to do was bury their heads in research.
But Luo Nan, who had examined the questions twice, looked at the various data and charts that continuously refreshed on the cockpit management interface. He wanted to close his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Perhaps the gentleman or lady who designed the test question had thought of everything. The only thing they hadn't considered was that the examinee participating in the test simply didn't possess the corresponding professional knowledge or even cultural background.
Uh, even if they did, they would probably only be able to hang around in the general knowledge circle. It was impossible for them to touch upon the Heaven Stairway level of tests.
Luo Nan was an exception.
Once again, it was too professional. It was fine to just look at the basic layout and configuration design of the Relay Station. After all, Luo Nan had come into contact with a bit of a similar standard composition method in the virtual brain system. Combined with his solid foundational skills, he was able to delve into it with a vague understanding.
He felt that he should know how to do it. It was just that he was unable to find a precise place to start in a short amount of time.
But the problem was that the test question clearly stated that this test had to be viewed in conjunction with both sides of the offensive and defensive battle.
Luo Nan was on the defensive side, and the external enemy occupied the offensive side. In other words, the enemy he needed to defend against … … What the hell was that?
There was a mist fortress that was as enormous as a mountain in the air. It was also an unfathomable mist fortress. Lightning interweaved within it as it expanded and contracted. Every time it flashed violently, it would spit out a swarm of bee-like monsters.
Among them were air raiders that were similar to prehistoric pterosaurs. They spat exploding acid balls from their mouths. There were enormous rock monsters that were comparable to heavy cannons. They bombarded with death rays from dozens of kilometers away. There were beetle-like assault swarms that could burn parts of their bodies to forcefully break through boundaries and engage in close combat.
And there was also the thing that extended out from the mist fortress. It was like a special tentacle. It was indistinct. It pierced through the ground and into the clouds. It could seize the base's facilities and energy at any time. It could even suck combat personnel dry. What was it?
Actually, the test system had a label. Every time Luo Nan's attention was focused on an individual target, the cockpit interface would mark the target's basic information in the form of AR.
However, Luo Nan was unable to understand the concise expression that was composed of professional symbols and measurement units. He looked over and over a few times, but he was only certain that these monsters seemed to be vassals of some Fantasy Breed … …
Could it be that it was all an illusion?
Luo Nan understood. Luo Nan understood. In the eyes of the designer of the test question, the personnel participating in this test certainly possessed the basic knowledge to recognize this type of information. They could obtain comprehensive information from the interface as a reference. The more detailed information was certainly hidden behind professional words and symbols. Perhaps the difficulty of the test question would be completely controllable after integrating and analyzing all the information … …
But the reality was that Luo Nan didn't possess this kind of cultural background. The translation function of the secret text of the word 'me' was limited. The information was all intermittent.
Plus, the lack of the 'reality' of the scene caused Luo Nan to only be able to use his sight to distinguish. His most proficient mental senses were completely useless.
How was he supposed to take the test?
