Chapter 5 High Dimensional Analysis

Chapter 5 High Dimensional Analysis
A corner of the warehouse at Li County Weaving Factory.

Liu Sheng woke up with his hands covering his neck, gasping for breath, as if he could still feel the pain and suffocation caused by having his neck sawed off.

She took a few deep breaths, and her brain, which was dizzy due to lack of oxygen, finally woke up, and she found herself sitting in front of a workbench.

In the flickering candlelight, the box that once contained the strange object numbered [34576] has been opened. The strange object inside is square and thin as a book as described. It is placed on a metal shelf beside it. The metal shelf is connected to a wooden box. The lid of the wooden box is embedded with a palm-sized square piece of white jade polished into a mirror-like surface. On it are a few lines of words:

[Item Name: 34576]

[Analysis completion: 0%]

[Effect description: unknown]

[Influence level: D]

[Analysis and evaluation: You are dead]

[Points earned: 0 (currently 0)]

[Analysis reward: None, do you still want one? ]

[High-dimensional analysis times: -1 (2 times remaining)]

This wooden box is exactly the analyzer she lost before!
But what is written on the jade screen that displays the analysis results?
In the past, there was just a simple line of words describing the effect, but now there are so many messy things added. For a moment, Liu Sheng couldn’t understand or comprehend these words and symbols.

Suddenly, Liu Sheng felt a sharp pain in her brain, as if thousands of needles were piercing deep into her head. She fell on the table with her head in her hands, feeling that every beat of her pulse was intensifying the pain.

In this intense pain, she seemed to touch upon certain memories.

She remembered.

……

Liu Sheng did not attend the luncheon with the Censor and Zhang Yuanzheng.

After she returned to the warehouse and worked for a while, she received a new strange object [34576] from her colleagues, so she took out her newly modified analyzer from the locked small cabinet next to the table.

Yes, she modified the standard analyzer of the General Administration of Weaving.

In her article "Analysis of the Parsing Path of Artifact-Type Ghosts", she also analyzed the defects of the analyzers currently used in the market: First, they can only analyze the effects of ghosts, and the descriptions are too simple; second, the classification of danger is too simple and crude; third, they cannot analyze non-artifact-type ghosts such as scenes and intangible ghosts, and there is no way to analyze larger ghosts; fourth, it is still impossible to trace the cause and source of the ghosts.

Therefore, while completing her research article, Liu Sheng relied on her research on the analysis of strange objects over this period of time, consulted a bunch of ancient books and documents, and used what she learned in the Department of Natural Engineering at Hanshan Academy to try to make a series of modifications to the analyzer.

It took three months, and I worked on it bit by bit quietly during overtime hours, and finally completed it last week.

Now all that remains is the evidence.

The monsters that have been stored in the warehouse cannot be used at will, so she can only use the newly stored monsters.

After waiting for a week, I finally got [34576].

However, she didn't expect that when she started analyzing [34576], something in her brain was instantly sucked out like squeezing a sponge. Her tired and empty brain made her fall into a coma, and she entered a dream world that was both real and illusory in a daze.

In the dream, she was working overtime, but because she couldn't find the analyzer, she decided to go home early. Now that she thought about it, of course she couldn't find it, because the analyzer was working in the real world. And she was not going home to her real home in Xiaoluyuan where her parents were, but to the home of "Yi Yu" in the dream, and in the dream, she was killed by her mother because she refused to work overtime.

It seemed that some substance in her brain was drained when the analyzer was started, causing her to suffer from memory loss and confusion, causing her to completely immerse herself in the role of "Yi Yu" in her dream and almost losing her original self.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but shiver and touched his neck, which seemed to still feel the pain of being cut.

This dream was so real. She had all five senses. She could taste the food, feel the temperature, and even experience death.

And thinking back on the details, she seemed to have unknowingly entered another world on her way home.

That world is completely different from the world she lives in now. That world has subways, high-rise buildings, mobile phones, and computers. But her world in reality is more like the ancient world she learned about from the memory of "Yi Yu" in her dream. Whether it is the system, life, culture, or thought, it is very similar to the Tang and Song dynasties recorded in history books.

However, because of the protection of the Supreme God, this world has lit up a completely different technology tree and gradually embarked on a technological path that uses spiritual energy as a power source.

She looked at the strange object [34576] again. Wasn't that Yi Yu's cell phone? Even the tiny scratches were exactly the same.

She picked up what looked like a mobile phone with her hands wearing special gloves and pressed and held the power button, but there was no response. It might be out of power or broken.

In Liu Sheng's world, a communication tool similar to a mobile phone has appeared, called "Ling Xun", but it is based on formations and driven by spiritual energy. Its usage is more three-dimensional and intuitive due to the use of illusion. However, it is difficult to make and is expensive, so it is not like in the world of "Yi Yu" where almost everyone has one.

Liu Sheng also admired the latest scientific and technological achievements and wanted to learn about the core array structure, so she gritted her teeth and used three months' salary to buy a machine with the lowest configuration. Anyway, her food and accommodation were mainly provided by the weaving institute, and she did not go out or go shopping. Apart from buying some refining materials, she had no other expenses.

How could something like a mobile phone, which is not in line with the current level of technology, appear in this world?

She couldn't help but think of the story in her dream - Zhuangzi dreamed that he turned into a freely flying butterfly. After waking up, he began to question whether Zhuangzi dreamed of the butterfly or the butterfly dreamed of Zhuangzi.

For her, is that world full of modern technology really just a dream?

Or is it that the ancient world where she is now, full of weirdness and gods, is the real dream?

She was a little confused.

She had a guess that when she tried to use the modified analyzer to explore [34576], she inadvertently triggered some unknown power. Perhaps it was the "high-dimensional analysis" written on the jade screen that brought her consciousness into another world, the world where this strange creature was born.

Liu Sheng took a deep breath and temporarily put aside these messy thoughts.

There is no point in thinking too much. The most urgent task now should be to turn on the analyzer again.

But before that, she had to eat something.

She covered her rumbling stomach and looked at the clock in the room. It was already the hour of Xu, just past dinner time. Although she had spent at least three or four hours in her dream, it seemed that she had only been unconscious for less than half an hour, which was less than an hour.

Normally, she would still be working at this time and had no appetite, so a simple meal would do the trick. However, now she felt much hungrier than usual. If there was a cow in front of her, she would probably eat it all up.

She carefully put the strange object back into the sealed box and pressed the button on the upper left corner of the workbench. A secret cabinet with a magic array engraved on its surface popped out on the wall. She opened the cabinet and locked the strange object in this secret cabinet specially for temporary storage.

Then she locked the analyzer back into the cabinet beside the table. She had a vague premonition in her heart that she must not let anyone else know about or touch this new analyzer until she had fully understood it, otherwise it might lead to disaster.

Happy New Year's Eve and prepare for a happy New Year!
