I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 882: Meeting Martin Again
"Did you finally find me? I thought you had forgotten me..." Martin's tone was a little sad.

"It seems that you have run into some trouble." Martin looked around and seemed a little surprised when he saw the endless colors around him: "The border of the dream world, you actually came here, and at such a high altitude, it seems that you used some relic."

He looked at the dream catcher in Hu Le's hand, was stunned for a moment, and then reached out and snatched it away.

"What a good thing! I remember that this thing should be in the hands of human officials. How did you steal it?"

"Is it definitely stolen?" Hu Le looked at Martin and said helplessly.

"That was cheated?"

"..."

He is indeed a wanted criminal, his mind is full of fraud and deception.

Martin fiddled with the dream catcher for a while and then threw it back into Hu Le's hands. It was obvious that he wasn't very interested in it.

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to help you fight or escape? I recently learned a new trick, it's pretty powerful..." he said excitedly.

"It's a long story."

Hu Le sorted out his thoughts and told Martin what happened in Mengdu.

After listening to this, Martin punched the air hard.

"I knew they could do something like this. It's not surprising at all. Don't worry, since you have asked me to come here, I will definitely help you. I will send you back first and then deal with those robots. Then I will go back to Dawn City and spread the news!"

Martin said indignantly, and then grabbed Hu Le's hand directly.

"Can you find the level I was originally on?"

"Small problem." Martin made an "OK" gesture and said confidently: "In a dream, nothing can stump me."

As he spoke, he grabbed Hu Le and started moving around.

I saw the surrounding colors rapidly receding, the frozen pixels were stretched into long lines, and the "muddy paint" turned into a piece of rag that continued to extend forward and backward, swaying and thrown behind me.

"I remember that you are on the 500th floor..."

"500, 500..." Martin muttered as he searched among the flickering shadows.

"what?"

He suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something.

"What's wrong?" Hu Le asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that the dream structure of the place where you are is a little special." Martin replied.

"You mean Mengdu?"

"Yes, the dreams here have been transformed."

"Reform? What reform?" Hu Le had been in Mengdu for so long and had no idea what reform there was.

"What I can see now is a kind of blurring transformation that makes dreams closer to reality. Creatures in this structure can dream more easily, and the boundary between dreams and reality will become blurred. But there are other transformations here that I can't see yet."

Fuzzy transformation? Hu Le thought for a while and guessed that this was an adaptive transformation for dream energy. Since Dream Capital would use dream energy on a large scale, it must make the environment suitable for the characteristics of dream energy to confuse reality with dreams.

"In fact, it's not quite right to say that it's reality. It should be said that the distances between different levels of dreams have become closer, and they will interfere with each other. The upper level affects the lower level, and the lower level affects the upper level. There are even some things that jump between different levels, forming a stable jump channel."

"A normal dream structure should be a series of flat planes, but the dreams here are connected, with some staircase-like passages connecting the upper and lower layers, so the dream structure here has become three-dimensional, and also more chaotic and blurred." "When you act in it, you may be on the upper layer in the last second, and jump to the next layer in the next second. This change may be difficult to detect."

"This is a very sophisticated structure. It must have been specially designed to allow different areas to be in different dream layers, forming a three-dimensional space, which is also more conducive to the compression of information."

"You just said that Mengdu is now controlled by an autonomous network?" Martin looked at Hu Le and asked seriously.

"Yes, Dreamnet."

"Where is the DreamNet database?"

"I don't know. The location of the database is confidential." Hu Le thought for a moment and replied that he did not know the exact location of the database and had never known about it.

After hearing Hu Le's answer, Martin pondered for a while, and then made a bold guess:

"Is it possible that this dream structure is used to store the data of the Dream Network?"

……

“Do you know QR codes?”

To explain his guess, Martin stood there and gestured.

He tapped lightly in the air: "If there is a pixel here, this pixel can be black or white, which is what we often call 1 and 0. This pixel can store two pieces of information."

"What if the pixel becomes two?" Martin tapped the side again.

"Obviously, more information can be stored. After permutations and combinations, there are four possibilities: black and white, white and black, white and white, and black and black. This means that these two pixels can store four pieces of information."

Then Martin started pointing randomly in the air again.

"The number of pixels continues to increase, forming a two-dimensional dot matrix, such as 10 by 10 or 20 by 20. The more pixels there are, the more ways of permutation and combination there are, and the more information can be stored. Not only that, but it can also be interpreted using different encoding methods, thus expanding the order of magnitude of information."

"This is a QR code, a means of storing information. It uses black and white graphics on a two-dimensional plane to record data information, and through different interpretation methods, it can achieve encryption and translation of information."

But what does this have to do with Mengdu’s dream structure?

Martin held out a hand and held it flat in the air.

“This is a QR code.”

Then he stretched out his other hand and covered it.

“This is a QR code.”

……

"You mean, the database of Mengwang is the entire Mengdu?" Hu Le said in shock.

"To be precise, it is the different layers of dream cities that together form the database of the Dream Network. Originally, a flat city could not store enough data, but when it is stacked, the stored data will increase exponentially. The layers of dreams are infinite, which means that the database is infinite."

"One layer of dream is a data chip. Countless layers of dream are countless chips. As long as the transmission channels between these chips are opened up and data can flow through them, and the compilation rules are formulated in advance, the entire dream can be turned into an infinite database that continues to expand."

As Martin spoke, he covered his right hand with his left hand, then raised his right hand to cover his left hand.

"Wudang Tiyunzong knows, right?
"Left foot on right foot."

"Boom!"
