Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 13 Confidence and Probability Theory

The moment he heard the threatening target, Jiatu shuddered.

He had no idea that there were enemies nearby.

Fortunately, the next sentence from the Lingjing system made him calm down quickly:
[Low threat level]

【No Active Threat Capabilities】

[Please calm down and treat this "Alienated Body" with caution]

The yellow threat frame of the spirit competition system kept flashing on the blue fluorescent mushroom not far from Jiatu. Until then, Jiatu didn't notice these low-key and weird indoor background boards.

"Low threat level, no active threat capability..."

For the first time, Garto saw the threat level represented by "noise".

According to his previous experience, the threat level should be at least a value from 0 to 10.0, and the threat level of ordinary people should be between 0 and 0.3, while ordinary people who are equipped with external brain terrors (commonly known as "hackers"), the threat The rating should be between 0.7 and 1.

And this value is a logarithmic relationship, that is to say, a person with a threat level of 0 to 0.3 is equivalent to one or two ordinary people, and 0.7 to 1 is five to ten.

If Garto could take on three Vault thugs at once, his threat level would be 0.5.

The "Blue Enchantress" has no threat level, and is replaced by a term called "noise-level alienation body".

This confuses Jiatu.

He recalled the reminder of the scary outfit, and carefully observed the blue mushroom in front of him.

At the same time, the "heart voice" in his mind continued to echo:

["Blue Enchantress", a 'noise' level alienation body. 】

[Characteristic 1: This alienated body has no active attack ability, the body is edible, sweet, with a slight olive and mint aroma, and has a good nourishing effect. 】

[Characteristic 2: "Active Spores", the fluorescent spores bred by this alienation body have special activity.After 6 hours of inhalation into the lungs of the contact person, mycelial hemangiomas will grow, and vascular primordia will be born after 24 hours, and mature after 48 hours, growing into a derivative individual "mycelium". 】

[Characteristic 3: "Mycelium" is a human-shaped mushroom-like parasite, with an average threat level of 0.3 to 0.5.No self-awareness, fear of fire, no fear of pain, slow nerve reflexes, increased defense and muscle strength, can use long-range abilities, and as time goes by, the threat level continues to increase. 】

"...What is this? Zombie mushroom?"

When Jiatu heard the threat level that finally appeared, he felt a strong sense of disbelief.

He suddenly realized that he was immersed in a sea of ​​fluorescent spores, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

But before the fear in his heart actually surfaced to the ground, the voice of the heart in his head continued:

[Characteristic 4: The spores of the alienated body can be cleared by atomized robots, so in modern society where external horrors are commonly used, the threat of the alienated body is greatly reduced, otherwise it is speculated that the level of the alienated body is "nightmare level"]

After explaining the basic features of "The Blue Enchantress", Xinzhiyin suddenly said:

[Note: The remaining power of this system is less than 1%. In order to ensure the normal operation of this system, please quickly eliminate the alienation body and recharge this system. 】

"'Destroy the alienated body'? 'Recharge the system'? How did you do it?"

Jiatu was stunned.

He felt like his brain was shutting down a bit.

A series of unexpected situations made him doubt whether he was awake or in a dream.

However, he was still relieved after knowing that the outer shell is the killer of mushrooms.

After all, he had inadvertently inhaled so many fluorescent spores, he didn't want to become a mushroom man in a daze.

Facing Heart Voice's charging reminder, although he didn't understand it, he still pulled out the Rezhen dagger.

After all, he was able to reach a consensus with the Brainstorm system on "I don't want Brainstorm's power to be consumed to zero".

At the same time, Jiatu also noticed that there were many mouse nests in the room.

Although almost all the mice were scared away because of him, according to his previous observations, these mice were not affected by the blue mushroom.

So he asked the "Voice of Heart":

"Won't rats be affected?"

[This mutant can only infect humans. 】

The voice of the heart replied calmly.

[As for "why destroying the alienated body can recharge the system", the answer is "Mako energy". 】

It continued.

"Mako energy?" Jiatu couldn't help repeating with some doubts.

This is a term he has never heard of in his previous life.

【Yes. 】

Voice of Heart affirmed:

[According to the data, "Mako energy" is the energy excited state of human self-consciousness on the spirit field, and the spirit field is a quantum field operator constructed by human brain consciousness activities. 】

[According to the research institute's information, there is a mutual conversion relationship between the spiritual field and the electromagnetic field, that is, the magic energy can be converted into electromagnetic energy, and the electromagnetic energy can also be converted into magic energy under certain conditions. 】

[Thus, the demon energy collected by destroying "Alienated Body" can provide energy for this system. 】

[QED (proof completed)]

An explanation from the voice of the heart caused Jiatu's brain to shut down a bit.

But the last "QED" still made him feel a little "humor" from the system.

However, artificial intelligence can tell some low-level jokes, which is nothing new to Jiatu, so he didn't care, and continued to raise the dagger in his hand, aimed at the fluorescent mushroom bushes, and swung it hard .

"All in all, 'Mako' is a kind of energy?"

Jiatu raised the knife and chopped the mushrooms into pieces.

And as the mushrooms "screamed" and ejected a large number of spores, many blue light spots appeared on their bodies.

These blue light spots slowly floated towards Jiatu, and were continuously absorbed by the terror on his body, and the remaining energy in the upper right corner of his field of vision also slowly increased.

It quickly rose from less than 1% to about 3%.

【Yes. 】

After the sound of the heart absorbed enough energy, the volume also became louder.

It went on to explain coldly to Gator:

[To be precise, it is "consciousness energy".They have only been found so far in the human brain.In some cultural contexts, they are also called "reiki", "force", "magic power" or "psychic power". 】

"Is it the humanistic environment in the film and television drama?"

Jiatu couldn't help but shook his head, and stabbed at a huge fluorescent mushroom.

The sharp blade cut through the mushroom body like a hot knife cutting oil.

The giant mushroom trembled and let out a shriek. It exploded completely, ejecting countless spores, blocking Jiatu's vision.

Jiatu was startled by the ear-piercing scream, but he felt that the shrill sound was not received by his ears.

It's more like coming from "soul".

And the voice of the heart also answered his doubts just right.

[The alienated body is the "sediment of consciousness", that is, the aggregate of spiritual particles "Alien". 】

[Almost all alienated bodies survive by absorbing "Dark Demons"—Although Aliens do exist in the material world, they themselves are conceptual creatures that exist in the spiritual field, so it is almost impossible to be destroyed. By continuously consuming their magic energy, they can be weakened to the point where they cannot be perceived. 】

"Is that so..."

Jiatu was confused by what he heard, but he didn't think it was a novelty.

After all, the spirit competition system he used before didn't look like a living person.

Should it be said that it is the second-generation Lingjing system?
An upgrade from the original?

【Thank you, you're welcome. 】

The voice of the heart seemed to hear Jiatu's praise, and the tone became more humane, and at the same time reminded him:

[Each cluster of "Blue Enchantress" can collect 3 to 5 parts of Mako energy, which can charge the heat shock dagger and electromagnetic gun, so you can connect this system with other weapons to enhance your combat effectiveness . 】

"Thanks for reminding……"

Hearing what Voice of Heart said, Jiatu couldn't help picking up a submachine gun from the ground, and found the "connecting wire" that Voice of Heart said on it.

After connecting the connecting wire at the hidden place of the gun body grip to the outer shell, the indicator light on the submachine gun lit up.

At the same time, in the lower left corner of Jiatu's field of vision, the residual energy of the submachine gun, the power of the bullets, and the number of residual bullets also appeared. There were even "ballistics" and "crosshairs" in the center of the field of vision.

It seems that No.1 is called a shooting game.

However, Jiatu also noticed that in the lower left corner of his field of vision, the submachine gun's battery-like energy supply symbol was red.

Soon, the voice of the heart appeared again, and confirmed his premonition:

[The weapon system has been tested, the battery system is damaged, please try to repair or replace the components. 】

"Surely it won't last that long..."

Hearing the answer from Voice of Heart, Jiatu couldn't help sighing.

He had expected this result.

After all, the system of Horror Brain is more expensive than the submachine gun. There is no reason why Horror Brain didn't persist, but the submachine gun can persist until now.

So he tested several other weapons, and as expected, almost all of the batteries were damaged, except for one pistol, which had about 15% of its battery capacity left.

"Barely able to fire 30 times, enough..."

Jiatu read the hint given by Voice of Heart.

It takes 1 unit of Mako energy to charge the electromagnetic pistol, and 20 units of Mako energy to fully charge the second-generation external brain.

In the case of using a connecting line, the submachine gun can use the external brain as an energy source to fire electromagnetic bullets at a power of no more than 1 magic per minute.

"One magic unit is equivalent to 1 joules."

Jiatu calculated silently in his heart.

"If you don't consider the energy consumption of the submachine gun, 20 Moko can make the outer shell work for 2 hours and fight for 40 minutes; but if you consider the consumption of the submachine gun, you can only fight at full strength for less than 14 minutes."

"As an electromagnetic weapon, the power of the submachine gun can be adjusted, the lowest is 50 joules, and the highest is 5000 joules, that is, 1 Mako fires 600 to 6 bullets..."

"However, the recoil force of high-power bullets is also very large. Coupled with the limitation of the number of bullets, I can use bullets with a power of 500 joules to 3000 joules..."

In the process of charging the submachine gun, Gator took a test shot at the wall.

When the power of the bullet is adjusted to the maximum (5000 joules), his body can hardly block the recoil of the submachine gun.

But the kinetic energy of a bullet with 500 joules is almost as powerful as an ordinary gunpowder submachine gun.

The kinetic energy of a bullet with 3000 joules can penetrate level-three body armor, and its power is almost equivalent to that of an AK47 assault rifle.

Sitting on a military brain, Jiatu adjusted his state to the best according to the various firearms knowledge that appeared in his mind.

Then he took out the heat shock dagger, and by "slaughtering" the fluorescent mushrooms, he restored the power of the outer shell to 100%.

Next, he packed up all the harvest in the room, and sorted it into two packages, one big and one small, according to "one piece of brain" and "one piece of other".

Just when he was ready to retreat, he found a very embarrassing question——

With his current height, it is simply not enough to reach the ventilation duct more than three meters above the ground.

He didn't have a rope or an escalator in his hands. It was almost impossible to climb to the ventilation duct more than three meters high and then leave there.

And as if feeling Jiatu's troubles, the voice of the heart also appeared in a timely manner and reminded:
[There is a map of the research institute in this system, and the location of the storage room is marked on it. You can find a folding escalator inside. Do you need tactical guidance? 】

Hearing the hint from the voice of the heart, Jiatu was pleasantly surprised, but also a little confused:
"Tactical guidance? Isn't it path guidance?"

【Yes. 】

Voice of Heart calmly replied:
[The alienated body is not an organic life, it will not be affected by time, and there is no life limit. In the case of "Blue Enchantress" surviving, the possibility of other alienated bodies in the research institute surviving is also very high. 】

[Based on my information and your current situation, the possibility of successful return is only 30%]

"30%..."

Jiatu recalled the winning percentage between himself and Hena, and couldn't help muttering:
"It's already very high..."

【what? 】

Jiatu felt a sense of disbelief from the voice of the heart's question:

[I must remind you that according to Bayesian confidence formula, your success rate is only comparable to the 30% confidence level of "string theory" or "wormhole theory" - lower than the 40% of economics, and lower than 50% of psychology or dark matter theory. 】

"What is the confidence level of Moko and Lingon Field Theory?"

Hearing this, Jiatu couldn't help asking curiously.

【80% for me】

Jiatu heard the voice of the heart and replied without hesitation:
[It is equivalent to "astronomy" or "big bang theory", slightly lower than 85% of "evolution". 】

"Then it's about the same for me."

Jiatu nodded, and firmly squeezed the full-face closed mask on his face.

"A 30% success rate is 100% for me!"
