The large-scale simulation scenario named Second Earth was launched quietly.
It cannot be said that there was no splash at all. This project had already caused a stir among earth researchers as soon as the first news of it came out.
Except for the researchers who were carrying out research tasks far away on the real Earth, everyone else was eagerly waiting, asking about the online progress ten times a day.
According to the discussion between Qi Guang and the senior leaders of the human species, the simulation scenario will first be conducted in a closed public beta for Earth researchers. After they have identified the important research areas that cannot be opened to the outside world, the remaining areas will be open to the public.
Qi Guang picked a day and made the transferred simulation scenario link public.
At this time, the staff responsible for operating the project have already taken their positions and are ready to deal with the foreseeable surge in traffic.
As an employee benefit, they were invited to enter the Second Earth as the first batch of internal test players. Even though they were not human staff, they had to admit that it was indeed an extremely charming planet.
Beautiful as a miracle.
That civilization coexists with wilderness, and a prosperous planet can be vaguely seen among the ruins. There is no other planet like it in the vast universe.
While most of the planet is covered with oceans, it is the land that gave birth to intelligence.
This is a very rare phenomenon in the entire interstellar space. Generally speaking, intelligent life will appear in the part with more resources, such as the feather and fish species on the star Froda, and the insect species that flourish in the vast underground caves on the star Sphinda.
People are full of curiosity and awe about this.
0.35 seconds after the simulation went online, the Second Earth welcomed its first wave of visitors.
Researchers who have received inside information have always been running faster than anyone else in this regard.
Betafor, a researcher who was a mechanical type and did not need external star network equipment, was a few tenths of a second faster than his colleagues and became the first guest to land in the public beta test.
This is Earth.
Betafer took a deep breath and analyzed the composition of the air.
He does not have the human race's almost crazy obsession with the Earth, but the mechanical race is one of the top groups in the interstellar research on logical structure and traceability and restoration, so they were invited to join the human race's plan to return to the Earth.
The moist air seemed as if a light rain had just fallen, and the half-cloudy and half-clear sky was faintly revealing a little light.
The smell of grass, trees and soil became particularly obvious, jumping like a cheerful dance.
Betaver paused, somewhat surprised at what he was thinking at the moment—his core module should not have produced such a reaction, but when he landed on this planet, it seemed that something had adapted his core code, causing him to have an extremely emotional reaction like that of the human race.
Betafer was experiencing this feeling somewhat freshly, having been left behind by the visitors who entered the simulation after him.
Inclusive, gentle, yet with an indescribable majesty.
This planet is alive.
He couldn't help but have this illusion.
The human race that created this simulation is undoubtedly a genius, and Betaf admires it as a machine.
He gave almost unlimited freedom to everyone who entered the simulation. There were no rules of the game and no mission objectives. He simply created such an incredible world and then sent out invitations in a ostentatious manner.
Look, this is my Earth.
Standing under the skyscrapers that block out the sun in the city center, you can seem to hear the voice of the creator.
There were a few pieces of torn paper scattered at Betafo's feet. He picked them up and could make out the handwriting on them. He barely understood the meaning of the words with his not-so-good ancient language skills.
On a certain day of a certain year, a person who dreamed of eating watermelon wrote the word "watermelon" on a piece of paper.
Then he also understood why the people who landed with him were so careful, so ecstatic, and yet so afraid to take a single step, like scavengers who were unwilling to let go of any garbage on the ground.
If the real Earth outside the space window is a paradise for studying the Earth's ecological species, then the second Earth they are on now is undoubtedly a treasure house for exploring the Earth's civilization.
Everything he saw seemed as if someone had lived there just a moment ago, and every piece of land bore deep marks of life.
Betaver's core module began to run frantically, restoring every clue he saw to its original appearance in the simulation block.
There is a lot of traffic and people are jostling each other.
He should be in a prosperous urban business district - this is very similar to the current habit of human beings in building cities, and can also be seen as the shadow of the earth's memory engraved on human beings.
Wherever he looked, the green that had spread from the overturned vehicles on the undulating road gradually receded, the road became smooth again, the vehicles were shiny as new, and the trees on the side of the road neatly cast a green shade.
There are children and adults.
There are men and women, and maybe even pets having fun.
Beneath the cold steel forest are humans who are living freely and bustling around. The lively atmosphere is rising like clouds. They are running around without rules and without the knowledge of obedience, and have taken deep roots in the soil of this planet.
So much so that in this false simulated scene, one can still breathe the bustling and complex air, which is full of vitality.
The vague and indescribable racial character of the human race that had always existed in the interstellar space suddenly broke through the fog and appeared before his eyes.
"Hey! Over here!" A colleague called him from behind, "Come and help me, I can't hold it."
He turned around and saw his colleagues holding various odds and ends as if they were rare treasures, and asked him to pick up two packaging bags scattered on the ground.
Maybe it was a bag containing some snacks, with bright colors and smooth texture buried in the soil, and only a few barely noticeable traces left by the years.
Betafer picked up the bag and followed his colleagues into a building.
In fact, they were organized and planned before entering, and carefully divided each person's responsibilities. But please forgive them, anyone who steps into the treasure house will be dazzled by the colorful lights in the room and will not know where they are.
This is just a simulation. Even if they accidentally destroy some important information, or collapse the wall that was not very solid in the excitement, restoration can be done in the next update.
The researchers indulged themselves in the apocalyptic ruins of the Earth, while Heath in the apocalyptic world became more and more addicted to the interesting puzzle game in his hands.
Based on Sober's booklet, Heath has roughly deciphered a small part of the content. Although he cannot understand the complete meaning, he can try to guess the context based on the fragments.
When I first interpreted the content, this treasure map didn’t seem so much like a treasure map. It was more like a record. There were many words expressing actions, as if it was telling a story.
But as he continued to decipher it, Heath felt that this was indeed a treasure map, and the combination of words pointed to a specific location.
That place contains something that is described as "important," "not belonging here," and "the only one in this world," but it is also described as "huge" and "transcendent."
"I want a map," Heath said, with a sketch of the outline in hand.
Su Bai's booklet records many versions of the treasure map. By deciphering the text and correcting the route, we can get a small part of the map outline that is most likely to be true.
"Where do you want to look?" Qi Guang sat over. He could use the system to scan out similar terrain contours on Earth. Especially now that the system was working on a one-to-one replica of the Earth, the points spent would be half of what usual would be.
"This area." Heath gestured and described the text to Qi Guang, "There are high mountains and a river flowing through here."
"And over here, there's a forest, and in the forest there's a huge tree."
“A tree is like a forest.”
"besides… "
Heath frowned and looked down. "This word," he pointed at a circle of lines, "I don't know if I drew it wrong or if I interpreted it wrong, but it expresses decay, disease, negative decay..."
It doesn't sound like a good word.
Qi Guang input the relevant information and received feedback from the system within a dozen seconds.
"There are about ninety-five areas that meet the requirements." Qi Guang said, "Is there anything more precise?"
"Well, I have to keep looking." Heath bit his lower lip, "The version of the treasure map is not very complete. It would be nice if there were more versions for reference..."
"Then go find a new version." Qi Guang supported his chin and ruffled Heath's hair. "I know where to find it."
