Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Under the leadership of Professor Mo Xuan, Li Yao and Ling Xiaole passed double testing by the Federal Army and the secret sword, each assigned an immersive virtual compartment.

Li Yao slowly sank into a rich, viscous, pale red liquid.

This special "neural interactive fluid” contains a large number of artificial neuronal components, as well as countless mustard-grade brainwave feedback patches that stimulate all the nerve endings around the human body as well as transmit special analog brain waves that connect the human brain and the crystalline brain together, or connect the soul and the Unified Spirit Network together.

The low-grade and advanced parts of the virtual compartment are mainly different from the "neural interaction fluid”, which Professor Mogen uses, obviously the latest modulation in the Federation, the most advanced neural interaction fluid, which makes people 100% realistic and completely immersed in the virtual world-spiritual realm.

Before being completely devoured by the Nervous Interactive Fluid, Li Yao glanced at a row of virtual compartments beside himself, and the military, secret sword bureau, government, and major figures from various research institutions stationed in the Hundred Flowers Star area.

They are all here for tomorrow's “Spark Program” launch ceremony, as their souls enter the spiritual world to visit.

Looking at a body that looked like it was in deep sleep and couldn't pull itself out, Li Yao felt some hair in his heart.

Fortunately, Dragon Yang-jun was there to protect the law.

Well, although this guy who doesn't know whether to say Dead eunuch or Dead Shemale is not 100% reliable, at this moment, Li Yao actually feels that she can be trusted more than her own teacher, Professor Mo Xuan!

“Don't worry! ”

In the moment before Li Yao was completely devoured, he saw Longyang King wink at him, as if to say so with his eyes.

“Huh!”

Li Yiu's front light changed and instantly appeared in a whole new world, a quiet meadow, on a small mountain bag.

The sky is cloudy, the breeze is floral, the mirrored lake is slightly riddled, the winding galactic river passes through the ancient town.

Nearly all households in the town hang colored wind chimes, tinkling bells, unspeakable serenity.

At the far end of the mountain, someone was singing a song of nine curves and eighteen turns.

There are also children who seem to be flying wildly in the sky with huge kites on their backs - this is an illusory world, and there is no need to follow the laws of the real world, as long as the computational power and the strength of the divine soul are sufficient, everything good can happen.

“The vast majority of virtual worlds are unable to achieve 100% authenticity, either because too many people are involved and the crystal brain computational power is insufficient; or because remote communication across the great thousand worlds is too volatile and delays are too high, leaving people from different worlds out of character; or because 100% authenticity is too painful and very susceptible to accidents; but most importantly, mentality. ”

Professor Mo Xuan's deep and hot voice rang from behind Li Yao's back, “Even if it's 100% real, how can anyone who enters it take everything seriously if they just think of it as a game and think of themselves as a player?

“Anyway, everything is fake and can be repeated at any time, even if the rules are not respected, they will not be punished too much, it will only be kicked out.

“Countless false mindsets combined create a huge, weird, false world, so it's not surprising that those Civilization information films for regular player games are called 'virtual worlds’.

“But this is not the case here, and I assure you, this is the spiritual world, the home of the spiritual people, the place where we earnestly live and defend ourselves, where we have our own rules and laws, even if I am the Creator ——"

Li Yao looked back and saw Professor Mo Xuan's true face, which he had only seen in the photographs before.

It is an extremely wide shoulder, bronze skin, bearded, stubbornly eyed Kui Wei man image.

It's like a mixture of… camels and bulls, just to set a goal, no matter how harsh or harsh the environment, will walk steadfastly, all the way down, even if it falls, dies, turns into exhausted white bone, it will take millions of years for his skeleton to be slowly destroyed.

Professor Mo Xuan, dressed in a grey-brown work suit, squeezed his eyes and gently touched the fine, wet grass on the ground. Suddenly, a small seedling grew from where he had touched it. The seedlings grew windward and instantly grew more than three meters tall into an apple tree. Three sunken red apples hung from the edge of the tree, abundant enough to spill out sweet water, so full that it was about to blow up. Cleanly and lovely, they were carved out of crystals.

Professor Mo Xuan took off the three red apples and took a bite first. He chewed them while throwing the remaining two at Li Yao and Ling Xiaole. He sighed with satisfaction before continuing to say the second half of the sentence, “You must also abide by the rules here, and invite your guests from afar to eat only two apples. ”

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole glanced at each other and took a bite on the apple.

“Click-click, click-click," juice like honey, with slightly moving microacids rolling into their virtual throats, esophagus, and stomach.

Li Yao and Ling Xiaole's nerve endings all send incredible signals of joy to the brain.

“You two feel...”

Professor Mo Xuan measured them silently, “Was this moment you were chewing on real or virtual? ”

Li Yaosheng said for a moment: "Does the professor seem to have something else to say? ”

Professor Mo Xuan smiled and shook his head: “Nothing, look, the town at the foot of the mountain is home to one hundred and twenty-two spiritual people, and in some extreme and most fortunate case, it is also likely to become a human civilization. After hundreds of millions of years, the last home, the brains of the local federal army, the secret sword bureau, the government departments and academic institutions are there. Are you going down there to join them? ”

“No need. ”

Li Yaoxin moved. "I am more interested in you personally, Professor Mo Xuan. Let's walk here, take a look, and talk! ”

“I testify! ”

Ling Xiaole hugged the big apple and squeezed her eyebrows. “Special Envoy Lin is really interested in Professor Mo Xuan, especially your" virtual life project ". He has asked for a lot of information! ”

“Exactly. ”

Li Yao opened his arms and felt the breeze coming to his face, discerning the seventeen different scents of flowers in the wind, and found that they were truly exactly like the real world, and could not find a bloom at all. “I did not understand why Professor Mo Xuan had abandoned the research of the Virtual Life Project, but after seeing the small 'spirit world’ on this side, I suddenly understood that with such a delicate little world, who cares what ‘virtual life’ is? ”

Professor Mo Xuan took another bite of the apple and rubbed the juice off the corner of his mouth, laughing: “Who says I gave up the Virtual Life Project research? In fact, that project is close to success! ”

Li Yao stunned, his whole body was a little stiff: "… What, Professor, did you really create virtual life? Where!”

Li Yao's mind was a mess and thousands of strange thoughts suddenly emerged. Who knows, but Professor Mo Xuan fingered the town in front of the small mountain bag: “Far from the sky, close to the eyes, isn't it all there? ”

Say it again, referring to yourself, Li Yao and Ling Xiaole, "And the three of us, aren't we virtual life? ”

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

Professor Mo Xuan ate the apple in three bites, dug a small pit in the grassland, buried the virtual apple nucleus, carefully covered the soil, clapped his hands, and took a close look at Li Yao: “Really interested in ‘virtual life', have you read a lot of my theories and information? ”

Li Yao nodded hard.

“Then you should know that, at the level of the federalist brain and spiritual nets today, in a millennium, it will never be possible to create a whole new life out of nothing. ”

Professor Mo Xuan seriously said, "On many occasions, I have asked people not to be misled by third-rate fantasy novels and popular entertainment products. To create a highly developed, intelligent and autonomous consciousness within 100 years at our crystal brain level, it can threaten the virtual life of human civilization. Its difficulty is equivalent to giving you an archaea and a primitive planet. Is it possible to evolve archaea into dinosaurs within a thousand years? ”

Li Yao thought about it a long time ago and shook his head: “No, Professor, I think your metaphor is wrong - the ancient bacteria lag far behind the dinosaurs in all directions, but this is not true of the relationship between the crystalline brain and man. Many crystalline brains are far more than a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful in computing and data collisions like the sea. In the knowledge that a whole new life will not be born, has just been born with powerful destructive power?

“Imagine if there was an archaeal bacterium up to a thousand meters in diameter, with a greater ability to swallow and move faster than a dinosaur, it would be normal for a dinosaur to instinctively fear it? ”

Professor Mo Xuan slightly glanced deeply at Li Yiu and smiled heartily: “Very well, indeed, a master from the Republic of the Stars and Sea, I can think of this layer. Your current thoughts, when I started the" Spiritual Realm Project "decades ago, fit perfectly.

“At that time, I also thought that, while it was not overnight to say that virtual life had a chance of success in a million years under coincidence, there was always a hint of frustration in the heart to find a way to transform the enormous computing power of the crystal brain into true consciousness and intelligence.

“I am convinced that virtual life will eventually be born, and in that case it must be held in our hands, not in the hands of the Empire and the Alliance, and even if we are to destroy it, we must first have a deep understanding of its origins, its development and its evolutionary ways.

“With this aim in mind, I and several other researchers, using twelve of the most advanced 'Kyoto’ superbrains in the Federation at the time, opened up a small virtual world, named after the ‘phantom' state that I had experienced, between life and non-life, called the 'phantom world’. ”
