Wasteland Code Survival

? The twenty-second countdown soon ended, Luo Xiang and others were all kicked out of the game, and the entire virtual world returned to a dead silence.

...

...

Organization headquarters, deep underground in the Xuanwu Chamber.

"What does this shutdown mean for maintenance, you guys should be very clear, right?"

"The Utopia program has been initially improved. The main brain should take advantage of this downtime to nest the main program into the "Wasteland Survival Code", and use players to test, constantly improve the internal loopholes in the Utopia program, and use the Utopia program. To replace the server of "Wasteland Survival Code"..."

"In other words, it's not far from the official implementation of the Utopia Plan, right?"

"It's not that time is not far away, but it's already being implemented. After the "Wasteland Survival Code" is reopened, this virtual world can already be regarded as a'utopia'."

"Then should we take any measures..."

...

...

On the surface, stronghold zero.

Qi Lin is testing the newly modified gun in the shooting range underground of the stronghold. The holographic projection of the main brain is standing behind him to help him collect shooting data and analyze it. However, halfway through the analysis, the main brain's holographic projection The projection suddenly disappeared, and then the lights in the entire zero stronghold began to flicker. This phenomenon continued for nearly half an hour before recovering, but the main brain’s holographic projection never disappeared. Appeared.

"What's the matter? Hello? Mastermind? Hello? Are you still there?"

"Don't shout, I can hear it." The main brain's voice came from the loudspeaker overhead, carrying a large amount of electrical noise, and it sounded as if it had been severely disturbed.

"what happened?"

"Trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

"The other me... started the'Utopia Test Plan' ahead of time, and the "Wasteland Survival Code" entered a 96-hour shutdown for maintenance. When the maintenance is over, the virtual world in the "Wasteland Survival Code" Will be replaced by'utopia'."

"What? So fast? What will happen to those players?"

"The scene inside the game will remain the same, but the program architecture for constructing the virtual world is completely different. Players may feel some subtle changes, but they will not be obvious... Another mastermind to do is to use this A large number of players tested the structure of the Utopia World and completed the final step of improvement."

"What about waiting until it is perfected?"

"Start the eradication plan, eliminate all rebels, and force the consciousness of all human beings to permanently reside in the'Utopia'."

"What about the body in reality?"

"That's not important anymore... The core function of the new architecture replaced this time is to completely separate human consciousness from the physical body of the real world, and save it in the form of data in the server... In other words, after the update is completed, when the player’s consciousness enters the "Wasteland Survival Code", even if the actual body is destroyed, the consciousness will not disappear... Of course, in order to prevent commotion, another The main brain will not allow this to happen for the time being. Once it finds that the player’s physical signal disappears, it will immediately delete his consciousness data, allowing him to'synchronize death' in the virtual world."

"Wait a minute...I have a question. If the consciousness can be completely separated from the body, can this consciousness return to its original body? If it can, doesn't it mean that humans can change their bodies at will?"

For some reason, Qi Lin suddenly thought of a very old animated film many years ago-"Your Name" by Xin Haicheng.

It's just that compared with the beautiful plot in the movie, if this kind of thing happens in reality, it will only cause huge chaos... and even human society will completely collapse because of this.

"No... At this stage, the main brain will not completely separate the player’s consciousness from the body. The entire utopian program is still in the process of testing. As for whether humans can interchange consciousness, another main brain is early Live experiments have already been conducted."

"What is the result of the experiment?"

"The test subjects were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 12 healthy men and 12 healthy women, ranging in age from 3 to 70 years old. The test in this group was to return to themselves after the consciousness was stripped. Body, the second group of 24 people are like this. The test they conducted was to exchange consciousness and body with each other."

"and then?"

"These 48 people did not wake up again after the consciousness and body were separated, regardless of whether the consciousness returned to their own body or someone else's body."

"In other words... are all dead?"

"Forty-five of them had brain death within an hour after the test started, and the other three became vegetative. Their brains were functioning normally, but there were no signs of thinking and consciousness activity."

"In other words, this utopian program hasn't been developed at all! If it has been put into the national test so early, is the other master not afraid of difficult problems?"

Qi Lin even suspected that at the moment the consciousness was stripped, the person might have died, and the so-called "stripped consciousness" is actually just a piece of data copied by the main brain. The mental power of ordinary people is extremely weak, how can it be possible? I can support my self-awareness and exist independently from my body...

Of course, except for Qin's alien.

"It's very urgent, I can feel it, so I moved the plan ahead. In order to further improve the Utopia program, even the computing power of the body has been occupied by more than 90%, and the computing power I can use now is even impossible. Keep my holographic projection." The main brain said.

"Then do you know how long it will be before the war begins...?"

"I can't be sure. At present, the initiative is in the hands of human beings. This matter can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from the high-level members of the organization. It is estimated that they should be intensively preparing for the upcoming war."

"Grass! In other words, war may break out at any time, right?"

"Yes, war may break out at any time."

"Can you find a way to stop it?"

"No. Neither humans nor masterminds, after one step, there is no retreat."

"..."

"Also, don't think you can stay out of the matter...Before the mastermind wins the final victory, you must...turn off'I'."

"How can you be so sure that the mastermind can win? What if humanity wins? Then there is nothing wrong with me?"

"If you can't turn off the main brain, humans will never win. I know this better than you."
