Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 511: Real virtual world

Views:

In the dark and deep universe, a huge meteorite stood motionless in the center as if fixed.

However, this meteorite is not so much a meteorite as it is a piece of land suspended in the starry sky. The entire land is about ten kilometers in circumference, with green mountains and green waters, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. There seems to be a strange power surrounding the entire land. So that the air inside cannot be lost in space.

A figure suddenly appeared in the open space at the foot of the mountain.

This person is none other than Luo Yuan!

Before he even looked at this strange land, he felt something strange.

The power that was like a volcanic eruption all over his body had dissipated without a trace, and his body felt as if it had been hollowed out. He clenched his fists, feeling weak and powerless, as if he had suddenly returned to the ordinary person he was before the end of the world. Human body is weak.

Not only that, his five senses have also become extremely dull.

His sense of touch, which was so keen that he could sense dust falling on his skin, had completely disappeared. His skin seemed to be paralyzed. At the same time, his sense of smell and hearing had also become extremely dull, as if they were filtered heavily, and it was like scratching an itch. As for the perception of will, it was still four-dimensional vision. Nothing can be manifested here.

All the strength in his body was gone.

There was no panic on his face, because this was not the real world, but a virtual world, and it had to be said that it was a rare experience to go from a superman who could carry mountains to a weak and ordinary person.

The physical quality of his body is just that of an ordinary person according to the standard template. Except for the appearance and figure, the rest is completely like another person.

At this time, several women from Luo Yuan also entered this world one after another.

"Wow, it's so real. The air is so fresh. I can feel the wind blowing through my skin. Is this a virtual world? It's just like a real world." As soon as Master Wang entered this world, he interacted with the mutants for a while. Screaming.

It's just that the mutant can't speak and can only hiss.

Huang Jiahui, Zhao Yali and others did not scream like Master Wang, but they still looked incredulous. Even the quiet Chen Jiayi turned red and looked around curiously, her big eyes becoming very smart.

Everything here is no different from the real world. They can clearly smell the fragrance of green grass and the wonderful touch of the breeze. They have seen the same scenes in the spaceship. Looking at the natural green here, they feel that their hearts are being moved. It felt like I was cleansed, and I felt relaxed and happy.

Huang Jiahui pinched herself secretly and felt a sharp pain. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is so real. I can actually feel pain?"

Compared with the huge gap between Luo Yuan and this virtual body, the gap between them is undoubtedly much smaller, and they can feel the reality of this world better.

Luo Yuan smiled slightly: "This is normal. This is a virtual world that highly simulates reality. It is connected to all neural signals in the cerebral cortex through the quantum technology on the helmet, just like a brain in a vat... You can also see this body as It is a real body. She has all the physiological reactions of normal humans, and can interact with and influence each other with the virtual environment here... "

"Look, there's a putting green over there, let's go take a look?" Zhao Yali found that there was a fruit tree in the distance, with green or red fruits. It was really gratifying, and she couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The mutant's movements were a little deformed and he ran over first. He was obviously used to the originally powerful body. It was difficult to adapt to this standard body for a while. The other people's movements were also a little distorted.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had run away, leaving Luo Yuan helpless to stop his tirade. Obviously, for them, the fruit trees were more interesting than this boring principle.

Luo Yuan was naturally ready to follow, but he didn't expect that his discomfort was more serious than the others. He had just taken the first step, and even though he had already sent out the idea of taking a step, his legs remained motionless, as if he had stepped out of a highly responsive high-end sports car. It was replaced with a tractor, and it was badly rusted, making it heavy and sluggish.

Fortunately, this virtual world can change his physical quality, but it cannot change his thinking reaction speed. After just one second of running-in, he completely controlled this slow body.

After jogging a few steps, he soon caught up with everyone.

Most of this virtual world is plain, with only a hill in the center, and the orchard is at the foot of the hill.

The beautiful scenery along the way was breathtaking. Except for running for a while at the beginning, everyone slowed down unconsciously. While admiring this rare piece of green, they chatted and laughed as they rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

A river meanders down the roadside. The water is crystal clear. Several fat and big fish swim leisurely upstream, occasionally causing a splash of water.

"There are fish here!" Wang Xiaguang said in surprise.

"These are made by researchers from some genetic laboratories who input genetic data. Otherwise, there are only plants, which is too monotonous." Luo Yuan explained.

"Are these carps?" Zhao Yali also asked with interest: "Can they be eaten?"

"Of course it's edible?" Luo Yuan said with a smile. Its genes may be different from real carp, but its taste is basically the same. At this time, he also became interested: "Little sister, I'll catch a few. , when the time comes we will have a barbecue outdoors.”

"Little sister" is what everyone calls mutants. Now she can fully understand human language and has even learned human writing. She occasionally reads some novels and can tell how discriminatory the term "mutant" is against her. You If you call her a mutant, she will definitely ignore you.

The mutant nodded excitedly, squatting cautiously by the river like a kitten, his hands slowly stretched out, as if exploring and grasping, his eyes staring at a few carp not far away, unblinking, ready to wait for an opportunity. move.

Her previous experiences gave her a wealth of wilderness survival experience, which even Luo Yuan could not match.

Ten seconds later, she plunged one hand into the water, then fished it out hard, and a carp was thrown to the shore. The next moment, the mutant's fangs were slightly exposed, nails popped out, a low roar, a quick pounce, and a hand She held down the carp and tore it hard on the head with one hand, until half of its head was almost torn off by her.

The whole movement was so smooth and seamless that he had obviously caught a lot of mutant fish before.

The wildness released briefly made the girls stunned. Since returning to the human world, it has been difficult to see the wild side in mutants.

At this time, the mutant came back to her senses and felt that everyone's expressions were either surprised or frightened. The eyes that originally made her feel friendly seemed to suddenly become unfamiliar and wary. Her excitement quickly fell away, and her face darkened. , watching her slightly bloody hands, she quickly returned to the shore and washed her hands vigorously.

Luo Yuan walked over and touched her head: "It's okay. No one here has killed fish before. They kill more fish than you. It's just that everyone is surprised at the way you kill fish."

Everyone also reacted and came over to apologize.

Fortunately, the mutant's sadness went away as quickly as it came, and he soon became happy.

With the encouragement of everyone, she caught another one, but this time, maybe it was the reaction of everyone before that made her instinctively restrained, but it was not as wild as before.

The group of people walked slowly for more than ten minutes and finally arrived at the orchard.

This is a patch of apple trees, with a rich sweet fragrance that permeates the surrounding air, making people feel intoxicated.

Everyone excitedly stepped forward to pick one. Luo Yuan also picked one, took a bite, and chewed slowly. A sweet and sour taste filled the entire mouth.

This apple tastes similar to a real apple, but after careful reflection, there are still some differences. After all, human beings' memory of the taste of apples has been too long, and no matter how they are restored, they cannot be completely consistent.

The degree of reality of this virtual world is very high. It is almost the same as the real world. Even the physical rules cannot be felt by ordinary detectors.

Every piece of grass, every tree, even soil, rock, and every inch of matter is made of atoms. This is not the most microscopic structure of matter. Inside the atom, it also has electrons and atomic nuclei. , the nucleus is divided into protons and neutrons.

It's just that at this point, the irregular quantum motion of microscopic particles cannot be simulated by human computers at all, making this world a little false.

But at least the physical rules at the atomic level are exactly the same as in the real world.

In order to build this world, Luo Yuan specifically approved the construction of 65 super quantum computers to provide computing resources. The space alone occupied a super building.

If used for residence, it can accommodate 800,000 people.

With the tight space resources inside the spacecraft today, such a large part of the space is naturally not used for making virtual games. In the near future, this place will be used as an experimental area and technology verification factory.

Nowadays, the limited space of spaceships has increasingly become an obstacle to human development, especially the originally empty factory area has become overcrowded. Even if "an inch of land is precious", it cannot be described as a possibility.

Most of the applications for newly established factories were ruthlessly rejected, some dangerous experiments were strictly prohibited, and many technologies were helplessly shelved because they could not be verified and developed. As time goes by, this situation will become more and more serious. Greatly affects the development of science and technology.

This is also the reason why Luo Yuan builds this real virtual world at all costs.

Even in this world, the degree of reality is still not comparable to that of the real world. However, except for some high-end experiments that require strict observation of the movement of microscopic particles, most factories and laboratories have no impact here.

Even nuclear fusion power stations and quantum communications can still be used normally here.

Today, this virtual world is still under construction and is still in its prototype. Some physical rules and material structures are constantly being debugged and adjusted to fit in with the real world.

On the edge of the floating island, you can see inch by inch of land and rivers, emerging out of nothing, growing and growing.

According to estimates, if the formal construction of this world is completed, the area here will reach 1,200 square kilometers. Once officially operational, the space problems of human development, at least the space requirements for technological advancement, will be greatly alleviated.

Everyone found a piece of flat land. Some dug pits, some built stoves, and some looked for dry firewood. Everyone was in high spirits.

But when it was time to prepare the barbecue, it was discovered that there was no fire source at all.

"What should we do? Do we have to drill wood to make fire?" Master Wang looked at the fish that had been forked, washed, and ready to be grilled, and he looked a little disappointed and said,

You don’t know how long it will take to drill wood to make fire

Luo Yuan was a little helpless. If this was not a virtual world, there would be no need for such trouble. Not to mention willpower, even a gentle rub of the fingers could make the wood reach the ignition point in an instant.

"Forget it!" Luo Yuan said: "No. 1!"

"Master, what are your orders?" The next moment, a clear and sweet voice appeared in Luo Yuan's ears.

He is the person with the highest authority in the world’s intelligence!

The core control program of this virtual world, which is vital to human beings, has been strictly controlled and reviewed at all levels since its establishment. As a politically correct person, the person with the highest authority will naturally not be anyone else.

"Give me a fire starter." Luo Yuan paused for a moment, his heart moved, and then asked: "How many edible animal and plant models have been restored now?"

"As of now, there are a total of nine models, including animals: cows, pigs, and carps; vegetables: vegetables, cauliflower, and eggplant; and fruits: apples, oranges, and bananas."

"So many!" Luo Yuan whispered. Biological models are not so easy to make, because this world is very real. The restoration of each biological species is based on the level of real genetic technology and can be restored in virtual reality. Likewise, Need to have equivalent technology in reality. This is also the reason why the plants and organisms here are extremely monotonous. After all, compared to inorganic substances such as minerals, the construction of organisms is undoubtedly thousands of times more difficult.

It looks like it won’t be long before these foods will appear in the real world!

Luo Yuan's thoughts flashed through his mind and he continued: "I'm going to prepare a picnic now. Give me all the prepared ingredients and fruits."

"Please wait!"

Although he said he was waiting a moment, there was actually not much time left. Before Zhinao finished speaking, a large number of neatly arranged ingredients and fruits suddenly appeared in front of him, covering the floor. Of course, there was also the indispensable igniter. , the portion is enough to feed and drink for a hundred people.

Seeing the miraculous scene, everyone was not too surprised. After all, this is a virtual world.

"Brother Luo, who were you talking to just now?" Master Wang asked curiously. As soon as the topic came up, everyone looked at Luo Yuan.

"The smartest brain in this world!" Naturally, Luo Yuan didn't need to hide this.

"Are you calling No. 1?" Master Wang blinked and asked.

Luo Yuan lit the firewood, turned around and cursed with a smile, interrupting his little thoughts: "Don't worry! This world is not for fun. Being able to come in is already an exception, and you have no authority, and Zhinao will not respond. , From now on, only senior researchers will have certain authority, so you should stop causing trouble."
