Luo Nan began his career as a maintenance soldier in Beehive Relay Station Two the moment the order to be promoted to Colonel was issued.
Officer Liang Lu became his direct superior. He taught Luo Nan how to maintain and repair all the equipment, instruments, pipelines, and even building structures in Beehive Two.
They were currently in the middle of a war, and he was affected by the negative buff of a certain opinionated fellow. The related work intensity was extremely high. Even a pure rookie recruit like Luo Nan had a large amount of piecemeal work to do.
Compared to the 'chatting' stage before the Dynamo Core was implanted, the current Luo Nan was like a spinning top being whipped. He couldn't rest for even a moment.
If he were to use game standards to measure this, then this would probably be the type of masochistic work of a small Pantheon god with an extremely strong sense of immersion but extremely bad gaming pleasure.
Luo Nan continued his gaming career. But during this process, he discovered that he had to face two problems that had nothing to do with the main storyline of the game or his job.
The first problem didn't even belong to the game scene itself, but it was closely related to it. Luo Nan discovered that the amount of time he spent in the game scene was a bit excessive.
An excessive deviation!
A person's subjective perception of time was quite vague. Sleep, relaxation, concentration, high pressure work, boring repetitions, and various other scenes were all different. Some seconds felt like years, while others passed in the blink of an eye. But in any case, people were able to quickly adjust to a publicly accepted standard by relying on timekeeping tools.
But Luo Nan was facing a problem right now. He felt that a long time had passed in the game scene. The base's public timer, personal auxiliary AI, and even Liang Lu and Colonel Sheng Zhan's manual verification all indicated that he had already spent three days in Beehive Relay Station Two.
Of course, Heaven Abyss Time, which adhered to the decimal system, was a bit weaker in terms of units of "days". When converted to Earth time, it was around forty hours.
Even if Luo Nan calculated forty hours, it was enough for him to fly back and forth between Ti City and Ban City.
The situation in the real world clearly wasn't like this.
Luo Nan's mind was immersed in the game scene. He still had some basic perception of the real world. He would also react to external stimuli. At the very least, the auction was about to start. If he really pushed it to that step, whether it was Zhang Yingying on the airship or Yin Le in Bin City, someone would definitely "wake" him up.
Luo Nan slept very peacefully during this forty-hour interval. It was just like an ordinary nap. He closed his eyes …. He did not open his eyes yet. Only his consciousness flipped in the primal chaos, shuttling back and forth in time.
Now, it could basically be confirmed that there was a clear mismatch between the time in and out of the game.
Luo Nan's intuition told him that his main body was like sitting on a spaceship that approached the speed of light. Time seemed to freeze at the instant of acceleration. His consciousness, which was immersed in the game, moved forward step by step according to the normal and understandable logic of time. He spent a busy, exhausting, and fulfilling forty hours.
But the truth could be reversed.
Everything was normal with Luo Nan's main body, but his consciousness was immersed in the game. It was operating at an extreme speed. The simulated scene was built upon the foundation of a massive amount of information. It was sliced and rendered in hair-raising detail.
It wasn't that time passed too slowly, but that his consciousness spun too quickly.
The Inner Universe Simulator within the virtual brain system followed. Perhaps it could be said that it was guiding Luo Nan's consciousness to enter this dimension together.
This was the most reasonable explanation for Luo Nan's current situation. If this really was the case, then he didn't dare to easily interrupt or quit.
After all, from the current situation, this phenomenon was beneficial to him. Time was extremely precious to everyone, even the operation of pure consciousness.
Luo Nan didn't think about going out and flipping through the information. He didn't know whether or not exchanging information with the outside world of the Simulator would affect the relevant operations.
If by some chance he missed this opportunity due to some accident, then it would be useless to regret it.
"It's like this. I'll let my vapor clone fly with Her Majesty Empress Wu all the way to Di City. It doesn't matter if I 'wake up' later."
Luo Nan was soon freed from the problem of the mismatch in the flow of time. He seized every minute, no longer thinking about superfluous matters. However, another problem came at him in a very absurd way, and it came from his Shangguan Liang Hut.
For the past three days, this young and relatively simple recruit had been brooding over the fact that he had implanted the Vertical Collar Dynamo Core into Luo Nan during the moment of crisis. But his work was related to the war situation, so he couldn't give Luo Nan much consideration. He could only think of ways to compensate Luo Nan in other ways.
His method of compensation made Luo Nan feel rather uncomfortable.
On Luo Nan's third day on duty as a recruit, he was officially assigned to the maintenance post of the central pipeline and safety partition area of the Two Hive, thanks to Liang Lu's proposal and his relatively outstanding foundation in theory. Luo Nan was promoted and approved by the officer. He was officially assigned to the maintenance post of the central pipeline and safety partition area of the Two Hive.
It was a vital location and a key department, but it was relatively safe. Aside from facing densely packed mechanical creations every day, memorizing large amounts of maintenance machinery, equipment, and infrastructure design blueprints and applying them flexibly, often following the main officer to deal with abnormal problems, and being on standby 24/7 when he had nothing to do, there were practically no other flaws. It was an extremely good post to learn and gain experience. The recruits and veterans of the logistics department, and even some sergeants and officers, might not be able to transfer here even after a few years.
But it would be far too naive to think of this as Liang Lu's compensation.
Liang Lu, who had not been in the military for long, was a hot-blooded youth with strong principles when it came to official matters. He recommended Luo Nan to take up the post because of Luo Nan's solid attainments in configuration, his obsession with research, and his obsessive-compulsive and strict attitude. He was the most suitable for this post.
His compensation would only come from a personal level.
The battle outside the relay station entered a deadlock once more, and the operational pressure of the Two Hive entered a period of relative stability. The two finally had the chance to chat a bit more, but they were not sitting idly with tea. They were on the way back from the end of the pipeline repair mission.
This time, Liang Lu came prepared as well.
"The first single, the second single, and the special edition of the champion's single. These are the only ones that have been officially sold. They are all global recordings. Most of Miss Suyi's works were composed by herself, and she was an independent musician after terminating her contract with her management company. She could compose as she pleased. She really couldn't be considered a high yield.
"There's also this. This is a passerby's camera before she officially debuted. It's really natural, without any embellishments! Unfortunately, it's just a copy. Some of the details aren't clear enough. "
"These are all …. I'll lend them to you for now."
Liang Lu's resolute momentum dropped quite miserably when he said the words' lend them to you for now '. However, Luo Nan was still able to feel the bitter emotions of having his flesh cut.
From Liang Lu's perspective, this was indeed a very sincere compensation.
After all, these were the flesh of his heart. Cutting them all off would cost him his life!
Luo Nan simply didn't have the chance to refuse.
This was because the two were currently riding in a specialized maintenance vehicle. They were traveling within an enormous pipeline tunnel, and Liang Lu had already placed the two albums and one single's echo box 'in Luo Nan's dorm room. He also gave Liang Lu a personal safe.
In any case, under Liang Lu's influence, the current Luo Nan finally understood what was called a 'Global Recording Edition'.
It was different from the lossless format that he previously understood. When Luo Nan put on a special sensor and used the 'vertical collar' dynamo core to drive the special echo box, he listened to the passerby's sound source of Miss Plain Clothed, the only person Liang Lu brought with him, Luo Nan was actually able to feel the unique pulse within his sea of consciousness.
Yes, the so-called Global Recording Edition was actually able to record the fluctuations on the mental plane. It was stored on a special medium and played repeatedly.
It was an extremely novel feeling. It should have belonged to the instantaneous state of the sea of consciousness. Through a special medium, it traversed space and time to interact with the current mental plane.
Luo Nan had never thought of such a form before. And as he listened attentively, he was able to experience a unique beauty of order from within.
Music was originally an order, but normal feelings were emotional. Luo Nan wasn't a particularly emotional person … … To be precise, he strove to follow reason and not be that emotional.
This Miss Plain Clothed's song was in the Global Recording Edition mode. It just so happened to satisfy his bidirectional mental state. He saw the structure from his sensibility, and he touched upon his emotions from the structure.
It was quite appropriate!
This Miss Plain Clothed clearly had some accomplishments on the mental side.
It was said that this was just a replica version from the fan production line. It couldn't be considered a true Global Recording.
Luo Nan didn't listen for too long during working hours, even though he had a mission gap. He soon cut off his control over the Dynamo Core. Liang Lu's low sensitivity, bad sound source, lack of auxiliary equipment modules, and other similar explanations and complaints rang out in his ears.
After hearing so much, Luo Nan even began to agree with Liang Lu's daily nagging of going to listen to the song live no matter what.
"Maybe it would be more interesting if we listened to the song live?"
"Yeah!"
It was rare to see Luo Nan express the same sentiments at the same time. Liang Lu slapped his thigh. "It's a pity that Miss Plain Clothed's third degree is still far from completion. Who knows how long it will take to gather enough songs for the concert. Actually, the most lively thing right now is the 'Passerby Audio Source' in our hands, and it just so happens that it's a copy … However, in the Repeater Station, there really are people who have collected the original 'Global Recording' version. Sigh, since you're a new fan, why don't we pay a visit? It's perfect for both work and personal matters. "
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Luo Nan to sort out the logic, Liang Lu had already turned on the communicator. "Officer Xiao, Officer Liang Lu reporting. Right now, Private Luo Nan and I are located in the central pipeline tunnel. We are two minutes away from Observation Station 7 by car. Officer, in view of the fact that you have yet to fully recover from the Evil Poison, we will follow the random inspection process to conduct a random inspection of your position. Please give your instructions. "
Liang Lu gave the stupefied Luo Nan a hand gesture in the next second, indicating that everything was settled.
