"That's what you said." Yuan Mingqing said, "In our place, they are all numbered. Now in our game development history database, we can still find their video data."
... "Let me see" Li Yinhang almost blurted out.
She is not heartless.
Just because the content was too shocking, she always thought it was fake, it was a joke, and she felt that she couldn't take it seriously.
But Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang were obviously serious.
Jiang Fang took over the words: "Then, there are us?"
Yuan Mingqing nodded.
"Because the Earth copy completely simulates our previous ecological environment and internal and external environment, those creatures that did not die in the cataclysm began to evolve on their own."
He said: "This history of how humans evolved, how they survived, how they originated, should be best known to you."
"The first knot laid for counting is the origin of mathematics; the fire that is lit is the origin of chemistry, and the first dance danced for fishing, hunting and sacrifice is the origin of art... No one knows what it will be. Inspired by you, maybe a star you observed, an apple that fell by chance... Whether these are correct or not, you are indeed slowly approaching and discovering the laws and truths of the universe."
"That was what we found, and it was used in the process of building the copy. And you, without anyone's prompting, also found this."
"So, can you imagine it? When we found you, how much your history surprised us."
Having said that, Yuan Mingqing also lowered his voice unconsciously, trying to restore the shock of hearing thunder in a silent place.
He still remembers the trance he felt when he first received information about Earth's civilization.
That feeling is like listening to the independent and complete language systems of different groups of ants up close, and seeing how bees build hexagonal-like nests with an obtuse angle of 109°28' and an acute angle of 70°32'. In the whole process, you can see how living things mate and mate in a primitive way, forming, living, deteriorating, and empty, and they are constantly reborn in the never-ending death.
This creature called human has traveled many roads, including detours, right roads, and dead ends. Every road,
They all stumbled and didn't know the way forward, but they were still chasing the boundless unknown.
They pursue the sun, pursue the future, pursue the distance, pursue the unknown.
Some people are romantic and ideal, and they can die after hearing about it.
Some people are down-to-earth and have been kuafu all their lives, living a busy, fulfilling, and chaotic life.
When Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties received memories, perhaps because of the excessive explosion of information, a hallucination occurred.
He turned his head and saw those weak humans chasing behind them, stepping on their footprints, forming a torrent of history.
Countless people drowned and disappeared in the torrent, but they never stopped.
Maybe it's because of the crowd, maybe it's because I don't know how boring it is at the end, maybe it's because of various reasons, but everyone has not stopped.
… not like them.
They have been stagnant for so long that there are few other pursuits.
Yuan Mingqing put away that irrelevant feeling and emphasized softly: "You... are us."
He also knew that his emotions had gone too far.
So he tried to bring the topic back to the normal track: "Although... this is a very perfect copy, it is logical and can run for a long time, but because it is a copy, it is normal for some tiny bugs to occur occasionally."
"These, you should also feel the body."
Li Yinhang said "Ah".
As far as her superficial cognition is concerned, she does have several personal experiences.
Going farther, before Japan, there was a debate about whether Fanta had a "golden apple" flavor.
The Coca-Cola Company claims to have never launched the range of drinks.
But there are quite a few people who can vividly describe the packaging and taste of that drink.
Talking about it closer, when Li Yinhang was a child, he clearly remembered that a song sang "Fifty-six ethnic groups, fifty-six flowers", but when he grew up and saw the official version of the lyrics, all of them were "Fifty-six constellations, Fifty-six flowers".
She still remembered that the teacher taught that the word "tool" for "specific" should have three horizontal lines in it.
But her college classmates were killed, and the teacher taught two horizontal lines.
This seems to be some kind of collective memory error, what's the effect.
and
Li Yinhang himself once experienced that when he walked to a certain place and something happened, he felt that all of this seemed familiar, or he had seen the same scene in a dream.
This feeling is especially strong because there are clear details to verify this.
Therefore, Li Yinhang also joked with friends, saying that there might be some bugs in this world, and she discovered it.
But this kind of "a prophecy" is not pleasant when you think about it.
While staring at the gap in the floor in front of her in a daze, Nan Zhou advanced the topic to the next stage: "So, the copy has been abandoned for so many years, how did you find out?"
Yuan Mingqing replied: "Because, human beings have also begun to do the same things as us."
Jiang Fang closed his eyes and chuckled lightly: "...Understood. "Gravity"."
Yuan Mingqing looked at Jiang Fang and nodded again in agreement, agreeing with his speculation.
"After the technology has made great progress, you, like us, began to pursue pleasure, and the pursuit of reality could not satisfy your visual spectacle. What's more, you even pursued in the same way as us - "Gravity" - you It’s also trying to build a small world built entirely from data.”
Jiang Fang said: "Although our technical level is good, it has not reached the level of perfectly replicating the earth."
"Yes. No." Yuan Mingqing said, "Your level is really good, and you can build a small-scale world. But you didn't attract our attention at first."
"until-"
Yuan Mingqing raised his hand and pointed to Nanzhou: "His appearance."
Nan Zhou tilted his head slightly and pointed at himself: "Me?"
Yuan Mingqing said: "I just said that we don't want to waste time repairing your system, but simply give up because we have found a way to make copies more efficiently."
"Every creator has a brand new world. They change according to the rules pre-set by the creator, and they are a natural copy that can run perfectly once generated. This copy space can be large or small, and it will show The story is completely up to the designer's arrangement. In this world where everything is composed of data, we can transport players to this world as long as we establish a stable data channel.
boundary. "
"For example, the [Sand, Sand, Sand] dungeon you experienced is a brand-new and difficult dungeon that has not yet been officially put into use."
"Before the Earth was abandoned, we began to study this copy mode; after the extinction of what you call the 'dinosaurs', this technology has fully matured, and the cost of establishing a copy has greatly shrunk, and we naturally no longer need to waste energy on on an outdated copy."
"However, one day, we noticed that an abnormal signal transmitted by a copy appeared in a place where it should not have appeared."
Yuan Mingqing paused: "... After searching, we found that there is a human being who, like us, has opened up the connection between the world and the copy."
Nan Zhou fell into deep thought.
It occurred to him that they had received the help of Yi Shuige when they were in the pursuit of a thousand people.
Yi Shuige is the technical consultant of the "Homeland Island" module of "Gravity".
He told them many things.
At that time, Nan Zhou could not quite understand what that represented.
But now, he gradually understood everything.
—“… Your original modeling was not what you are now.”
- "Since you were born in "Eternal Day", you have been living in the world of "Eternal Day"."
- "The game does not recreate a world, but somehow breaks the barriers between the two worlds intentionally or unintentionally."
They are essentially a world composed of data, and there is an objective condition for connecting with the replica world.
And the engineer named Mo, who was mentioned by Yi Shuige, likes to dance the waltz and pursues excellence in his work, committed suicide by jumping off the building for unknown reasons on the day when the copy of "Eternal Day" began to be tested.
Deputy Chief Engineer Cen, who took over all the work, was uncharacteristically and enthusiastically devoted himself to the work.
In the high-intensity, exhausting pleasure he enjoyed some secret, supreme pleasure.
They were clearly doing the same job and looking in the same direction.
At the same place of sight, what did they see
What makes them a despair, a frenzy
The deputy chief engineer Cen, in that brief exchange with Yi Shuige, once released some news to him.
"Have you... ever seen a miracle?"
All of this, through this sentence, was finally successfully connected.
Zonggong Mo inadvertently achieved the same frequency with Gaowei people, broke through the barriers of data, entered the "copy", and saw the real "never town".
Maybe he thinks it's the multiverse, maybe he thinks he's crazy, maybe he realizes there's some terrifying connection behind it, and maybe he's made an irreparable mistake.
In short, under the huge mental shock, he committed suicide by jumping off the building after dancing a waltz.
After Deputy Chief Engineer Cen took over his job, he also saw the passage.
Unlike Chief Engineer Mo, he thought it was a "miracle".
He guarded this huge secret with all his might, infiltrated the world with the data rules he built, set Nanzhou as the boss, and set up a resurrection mechanism on him, so that players can experience what he thinks of the game. Happy - absolutely true.
Death is real, bosses are real, and confrontation is real.
Seeing the players complaining about the difficulty of the level and Nanzhou being too smart in the forum, no one knows what he is thinking.
But he walked down this road silently and excitedly, just like those humans before, full of longing and indomitable.
He had no idea what kind of crisis lay dormant in the dark unknown ahead.
"...So, it was you who appeared in front of us first."
Yuan Mingqing concluded: "When you break down the barriers of numbers and use data to establish channels to explore other worlds, your own existence is also exposed to our eyes."
"For us, it was one day that we suddenly discovered that this long-abandoned dungeon had been updated. The place where there should be no creatures was densely packed with people."
"That's the beginning of the... 'Gravity' game plan."
