Text Chapter 1710 Between Reality and Illusion

Under the leadership of Professor Mo Xuan, Li Yao and Ling Xiaole passed the double inspection of the federal army and the secret sword user, and were each assigned to an immersive virtual cabin.

Li Yao slowly sank into the thick and viscous light red liquid.

This special "neural interaction liquid" contains a large number of artificial neuron components, as well as countless mustard series brain wave feedback patches, which can not only stimulate all nerve endings around the human body, but also conduct special simulated brain waves , connect the human brain and the crystal brain together, or in other words, connect the soul and the spiritual network of the Great Unity together.

The difference between the low-end and high-end virtual cabins is mainly due to the difference in the "neural interaction fluid". The one used by Professor Mo Xuan is obviously the latest modulation of the Federation. The cutting-edge neural interaction fluid can make people 100% realistic and completely immersed in the virtual world. In the spirit world.

Before being completely swallowed by the "Neural Interaction Fluid", Li Yao glanced at the rows of virtual cabins around him, the military, Secret Sword Bureau, government and various research institutes stationed in the Hundred Flowers Starfield.

They are all here to attend the launch ceremony of the "Spark Project" tomorrow. At this moment, their souls have all entered the spirit world to visit.

Looking at the bodies that seemed to be falling into a deep sleep and unable to extricate themselves, Li Yao always felt a little hairy in his heart.

Fortunately, Long Yangjun was there to protect the dharma.

Uh, although this guy who doesn't know whether he should be a dead eunuch or a dead shemale is not 100% reliable, but at this moment, Li Yao actually feels that she is more trustworthy than his teacher, Professor Mo Xuan!

"rest assured!"

At the moment before Li Yao was completely devoured, he saw Long Yangjun blinking at him, as if saying so with his eyes.

"Shua!"

The light and shadow in front of Li Yao's eyes changed, and he suddenly appeared in a brand new world, a quiet grassland, on a small hill.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the fragrance of flowers is in the breeze, the mirror-like lake is slightly rippling, and the meandering silver river passes through the quaint town.

Almost every household in the town is hung with colorful wind chimes, tinkling and indescribably peaceful.

On the hilltop in the distance, someone was singing loudly, singing folk songs with nine tunes and eighteen bends.

There are also some children, who seem to be carrying huge kites, flying freely in the sky. This is an illusory world, and they don't have to follow the laws of the real world. As long as the computing power and spirit strength are sufficient, all good things can happen.

"Most of the virtual worlds cannot be 100% realistic, either because there are too many people participating and the crystal brain has insufficient computing power; or because the remote communication across the world is too unstable and the delay rate is too high, It causes people from different worlds to be incompatible; or because 100% simulation is too painful, it is very easy to cause accidents; but the most important point is the mentality."

Professor Mo Xuan's deep and fiery voice sounded from behind Li Yao, "Even if it is 100% realistic, if the people who enter it just regard it as a game and themselves as players, how can they take everything seriously?

"Anyway, everything is fake, and you can start over at any time, even if you don't follow the rules, you won't be punished too much, at worst, you will be kicked out.

"Countless false mentalities are superimposed to create a huge, weird, false world, so it is not surprising that those "Civilization" expansion packs for ordinary players are called 'virtual worlds' .

"But this is not the case here. I assure you two that this is the spirit world, the home of the spirit race, a place where we live seriously and defend to the death. This place has its own rules and laws, even if I am the creator"

When Li Yao looked back, he saw Professor Mo Xuan's true face that he had only seen in photos before.

It was a burly man with extremely broad shoulders, bronze skin, unshaven beard, and unyielding eyes.

It's like... a hybrid of a camel and a bull. As long as you set a goal, no matter how difficult and harsh the environment is, you will go on unswervingly, and you will go all the way to the end. It will take tens of millions of years to slowly wear away his bones.

Professor Mo Xuan was wearing a gray-brown overalls, squatting on the ground, squinting his eyes, and gently stroking the delicate and moist grass all over the ground. Suddenly, a small sapling grew from the place he touched. The small sapling grows in the wind, and instantly grows into an apple tree more than three meters high. Three heavy red apples hang down from the treetops. Carved.

Professor Mo Xuan took off three red apples, took a bite first, and while chewing, threw the remaining two towards Li Yao and Ling Xiaole, sighed contentedly, and then continued to talk about the second half In a word, "You must also abide by the rules here. At most, you distinguished guests who have come from afar can only eat two apples."

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole looked at each other, and each took a bite out of the apple.

"Kacha Kacha Kacha", the juice is like honey, and slightly sour, rolling into their virtual throats, esophagus and stomach.

The nerve endings of Li Yao and Ling Xiaole both sent signals of incomparable joy to the brain.

"Two think"

Professor Mo Xuan sized them up calmly, "Is the moment you guys were munching on just now real or virtual?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment: "The professor seems to mean something else?"

Professor Mo Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, look, the small town at the foot of the mountain is the home of 122 spirit races, and in some of the most extreme and luckiest circumstances, it is very likely to become a human Hundreds of millions of years later, civilization will be the last home, where the heads and minds stationed in the local Federation Army, Secret Sword Bureau, government departments, and academic institutions are there, do you two want to go down and be with them?"

"No."

Li Yao's heart moved, and he said, "I'm more interested in you, Professor Mo Xuan. Let's take a walk here first, have a look, and talk!"

"I testify!"

Holding a big apple, Ling Xiaole winked and said, "Special Envoy Lin is indeed very interested in Professor Mo Xuan, especially your 'Virtual Life Project', and asked me for a lot of information!"

"That's right."

Li Yao opened his arms, feeling the oncoming breeze to his heart's content, distinguishing the seventeen different flower fragrances contained in the wind, and found that it was exactly the same as the real world, and there was no flaw at all, "I didn't understand why Professor Mo Xuan gave up. I did research on the 'virtual life project', but after seeing this small 'spirit world', I suddenly understood, with such an exquisite small world, who cares about 'virtual life'?"

Professor Mo Xuan took another bite of the apple, wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth carelessly, and said with a smile: "Who said I gave up the research on the 'Virtual Life Project'? In fact, that project is already close to success!"

Li Yao was stunned, his whole body was a little stiff: "...What, professor, you really created a virtual life? Where is it!"

Li Yao's mind was in a mess, and thousands of strange thoughts popped up in an instant, but Professor Mo Xuan pointed to the town in front of the small mountain bun: "It's far away in the sky, and it's close in front of us, isn't it all there?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to himself, Li Yao and Ling Xiaole, "There are three of us, aren't we virtual beings?"

Ling Xiaole was also confused: "Professor Mo Xuan, what are you talking about, I don't understand!"

Professor Mo Xuan gnawed the apples in three mouthfuls, dug a small hole in the grassland, buried the virtual apple core in it, carefully covered it with soil, clapped his hands, and took a serious look at Li Yao: "Really right" the virtual apple core. Life' is very interesting, have you read many of my theories and materials?"

Li Yao nodded vigorously.

"Then you should know that with the current crystal brain and spirit network level of the Federation people, it is absolutely impossible to create a brand new life out of thin air within a thousand years."

Professor Mo Xuan said earnestly, "I have proposed on many occasions that the public should not be misled by third-rate fantasy novels and sensational entertainment products. With our crystal brain level, if we want to create a highly developed and intelligent brain within a hundred years. And self-awareness, virtual life that can threaten human civilization, the difficulty is equivalent to giving you a handful of archaea and a primitive planet, asking you to evolve archaea into dinosaurs within a thousand years, is it possible?"

Li Yao had thought about this problem a long time ago, shook his head and said: "No, professor, I think your analogy is wrong. Archaea are far behind dinosaurs in all aspects, but the relationship between crystal brains and humans is not like this. Many crystal brains The computing power is far more than a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times that of ordinary people. In the vast sea of ​​computing and data collision, how do you know that a brand new life will not be born, and it will have powerful destructive power just after it is born?

"Imagine, if there is an archaea with a diameter of one thousand meters and a more terrifying phagocytosis and movement speed than dinosaurs, then it is normal for dinosaurs to have instinctive fear of it?"

Professor Mo Xuan was slightly taken aback, took a deep look at Li Yao, and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Very well, you really are a master from the Star Sea Republic, who can think of this level, your current thoughts, and When I started the 'Ethereal Project' decades ago, it happened.

"At that time, I also thought so. Although I said that the birth of a virtual life did not happen overnight, and it took thousands of years and coincidences to have a one-in-a-billion chance of success, but there was always a faint feeling in my heart. Unwilling, he wants to find a way to transform the huge computing power of the crystal brain into real consciousness and intelligence.

"I believe that virtual life will eventually be born. In this case, it must be controlled by us instead of the empire and the Holy League. Even if we want to destroy it, we must first have a deep understanding of its origin, development and evolution .

"With this purpose in mind, several other researchers and I used twelve of the most advanced 'King'-class super crystal brains at the time to open up a small virtual world. It is named after the state of 'Ethereal Body' between non-living beings, and it is called 'Ethereal Realm'." (~^~)
