The Psionicists controlled rune-engraving instruments, etching rune arrays onto the proton plane. It took several hours before everything finally settled down.
"Bzzzz~"
As the Psionic Rune Array activated, a hazy consciousness gradually coalesced. It was an artificial consciousness, fundamentally different from Intelligent Life, yet it did possess certain properties of a soul, much like artificial intelligence.
The first step had succeeded! the scientists thought.
No one spoke. This success was only the beginning. In countless experiments, Rune Masters had successfully inscribed runes onto two-dimensionally transformed protons, completing this step without a hitch. But they had always failed at the final step.
"Dimensional Ascent!" Lin Zhichen ordered calmly.
The instruments started up again. The protons, which had been forcibly reduced in dimension, returned to high-dimensional space-time and reverted to protons, shrinking to a point invisible to the naked eye. But everyone present was a keenly perceptive Psionic Science expert, and they clearly sensed the faint Psionic reaction floating in the surrounding space.
"Did it work?" one supplicant scientist asked uncertainly.
"It worked!" Another supplicant pointed excitedly at the projector. Sure enough, even after their Dimensional Ascent, the specially constructed Sophons remained connected to the Holographic Projector, which displayed the images they detected—in other words, the scene inside the laboratory.
"It worked!" the scientists present cheered. A smile appeared on his face, too. "We finally did it!"
After the purely technological Sophon Detector was developed, some scientists had proposed creating Psionic Sophons.
The idea was that once Psionic Sophon Detectors were developed, they could be linked directly to a Psionicist's senses. The images detected could be sent straight to the operator through quantum transmission, while the operator could, in turn, freely control the Sophon.
This approach would greatly increase the Sophon's usefulness, giving the military, agents on special fronts, and others a
