A program used to monitor and detect the operation of the virtual world—this is Nolan's real identity.
Hao Ren found a lot of information about the construction process of the virtual world on the equipment in the cave, among which Nolan happened to be mentioned. If he hadn't thought of looking into these things in a flash of inspiration, I am afraid that no one would know that Nolan's real body would be like this.
The Zhuom people and the eldest son worked together to build a huge virtual system that can almost 100% simulate the real world. This system is composed of two parts, namely the biological will part of the eldest son and the AI part of the mechanical equipment. Among them, the biological will of the eldest son is the main body of the virtual world, and the entire system is actually built in the dream of this ancient creature. The huge spiritual power of the eldest son can accommodate more than one billion human beings to live in the same dream; while the mechanical AI is more like The accessories used to maintain this system live in the massive machines connected to the eldest son. These machines include the alloy cylinders that Hao Ren saw before and a large number of array servers deeper in the shelter. They monitor the virtual world at all times. Running is the sentinel and nanny left in the real world after the Drom people sleep.
The mechanical AI as a monitoring system is very complicated, and Nolan is one of the display interfaces of these monitoring programs.
However, she has no idea of her own identity, because the earliest settings have modified the part of her perception of herself. She just lives in this virtual world, experiencing everything in the virtual world in a human way, and all her perceptions are converted into a human perspective by analog signals - this is how the monitoring system determines whether the operation of the virtual world is still suitable Human beings survive, and this kind of life as a "probe" is also Nolan's mission.
Hao Ren didn't know what Nolan's final mission was in the original plan. This part of the data has been destroyed due to a system error. In addition, the "return to reality plan" of the Zhuom people has long been in vain. The original trajectory of the world no longer makes sense. And let's be honest, now is not the time to get into those details.
Under the guidance of the data terminal, Hao Ren quickly directed the autonomous machines to pierce a large number of probes into the ganglion of the eldest son, strengthening the connection with the latter at the physical level. In this case, access the dream of the eldest son. Then he sat down, leaning on one of his eldest son's tentacles, bringing his body as close as possible to the other's nervous system. Then he said to Lily and Vivian next to him: "I'm going to talk to the eldest son directly, and you can take care of it."
Lily was jumping up and down and bluffing: "Landlord, landlord. What if the cave collapses?"
Hao Ren shrugged: "Of course we can only run away."
"I thought you were going to say stupid things like death rather than retreat." Vivian smiled and bent down to pat Hao Ren's shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't let anything disturb you unless the cave collapses." you."
Hao Ren made a victory gesture, leaned his head on the nerve tentacles behind him, and said silently in his heart: "Activate the link."
The vibrations and strange noises in the cave receded like a tide. A piece of darkness came from all directions, and then, a strange burning and dull feeling rushed over from the surroundings as if to bury himself. Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw himself standing in a dark world.
This is a weird and desolate world, where everything in the world is composed of monotonous and dead black, white and grey. On the endless vast wilderness, you can still vaguely see the remains of buildings that look like urban ruins. These once tall buildings are now only bare frames and cement waste. They are like 3D models that lack details and rendering. The structure is simple, the surface is rough, and the appearance of randomly piled up on the ground embodies a dreamlike sense of grotesqueness. There are no sun, moon and stars in the sky. There was also no other obvious light source, some kind of gray-white mist floated in the sky, covering the entire land evenly.
In this rough world that lacks detail. The only complex thing left is one thing, and that's humans.
Human beings can be seen everywhere lying on the desolate land. The clothes on them have turned into smooth rubber like inferior three-dimensional models, while they themselves still maintain only intricate details, which means that their soul data has not dissipated. Hao Ren casually glanced down, and saw the humans lying on the ground asleep as if in a dream. Their expressions were peaceful, with weird smiles on their faces, as if they had obtained eternal peace in a dream.
This is the whole world of euthanasia, weird and creepy.
Hao Ren looked up and looked around for Nolan. He used the other party as a springboard to access this world, so the latter should be nearby. As he looked around. Nolan's voice suddenly came from the side: "The sky disappeared, the plants disappeared, and the colors also disappeared... The whole world became a little bit dead silent..."
Hao Ren followed the prestige and saw that Nolan had been sitting on a low off-white block at some point—this block may be a part of a building, but now there is only an unpainted rough model of it—she slowly raised her head Looking at this side, the voice seemed to be talking in sleep: "Why didn't I go to sleep like them? Do you know what happened in this world?"
"Darkness before dawn." Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nolan's hand. This action seemed to cheer the latter up a little. "Do you trust me?"
"What else can I do?" Nolan asked back.
"Then open your heart." Hao Ren looked into Nolan's eyes, "I will use your mind as a springboard to talk to the controlling consciousness behind this world. During this process, you will feel that your whole body and mind are being spied on, but I promise you, I'm not going to do anything to your psyche, I just need you to make the connection. It's hard to explain, so I can't explain it to you, will you...will?"
Nolan blinked slowly, the machines in the real world were gradually collapsing, and her thinking was also affected by it, but she finally understood Hao Ren's meaning and nodded slowly: "I don't know what to do, so I just have to Leave it to you."
Hao Ren hummed, and issued an instruction to the hit data terminal: "Terminal, open Nolan's login interface and switch to translation mode."
The moment the last jump was completed, Nolan's body shook, and then his eyes widened and he fell into a state as if his soul had left his body. At the same time, Hao Ren felt that his spirit was suddenly guided to another huge, In front of an indescribable, almost incomprehensible consciousness.
For the first time in history, a human being has linked his spirit directly to his firstborn.
It was an adventure and a feat without precedent. Because no one before this could bear the spiritual power of the guardian, let alone a direct connection. Those mentally strong monks on Holletta had only heard the eldest son and the Guardian Giant's dream and fell into madness. The danger of this connection can be imagined.
However, Hao Ren didn't feel any signs of madness. Although he realized that he was connecting with a complex will that humans could not understand, this complex will was not hostile at all.
The eldest son was just curiously observing this "little one" who was suddenly connected to him, and from the latter, it sensed several familiar things. One of them is the divinity of the true God, that comes from the reflection of Raven 12345. The other familiar breaths include source blood, goddess creations, and... unanalyzable things.
In the hallucination, Hao Ren seemed to see endless rays of light. In the rays of light, there was an indeterminate shadow whose color and size could not be judged. He believed that this was the eldest son, at least it was the soul form of the eldest son that he could understand with a human mind. . He tried to talk to the shadow: "Can you hear me?"
An uncomfortable silence, this silence seemed to have lasted for a century, and finally a voice sounded in the phantom space: "Pain."
"pain?"
"It hurts, it's hot..." the voice came from all directions, "It's scary..."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, he knew that the voice should be the eldest son's thoughts. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so frank, even frank... like a child.
"You are the guardian of this planet, aren't you?" Hao Ren quickly recovered from the short-term shock, talking about the situation outside in a hurry. "I know it's painful for you to hold on now, but you hold on a little longer. We're trying to find a way to get you..."
He was interrupted in the middle of his speech. The eldest son seemed to be in a state of confusion, and the sound of its chaotic thoughts suddenly came from all directions:
"Mum put me here to protect my siblings, but Mum never spoke to me after that..."
"Mom said my brothers were crazy, she told me to hide the whole biosphere..."
"In the end, I can only return everything to the source blood, but why didn't my mother tell me what to do next..."
"It's hot outside, hot, hot..."
"I didn't hurt anyone, I was just helping my mother with the garden..."
"Why isn't mom talking. Mom hasn't talked to me for a long time..."
"I miss my mother, I really miss my mother..."
The voice of the eldest son was like countless thoughts mixed together and noisy at the same time. The momentary mass of thoughts made Hao Ren have a splitting headache, but before he was about to be overwhelmed by these spirits, Raven 12345's divine blessing suddenly restored his clarity. Seizing this momentary opportunity to wake up, Hao Ren yelled out the most useful sentence in this situation, and maybe the only one that worked: "I'll take you to find your mother!"
Countless voices sounded at the same time: "Mom?"
"Yes, we are also looking for the whereabouts of the goddess of creation—that is, your mother," Hao Ren shook his head, "something happened to her, and she is currently sleeping deep in the universe. If you can persist, I will take you Go find your mother."
"Who are you...?" The eldest son seemed to have finally realized the problem.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we are here to solve the problem," Hao Ren said quickly, "This planet is falling into the sun, but I have a spaceship that can transfer your brain core out. You Keep all consciousness and drom souls in the nuclei... You know what the nuclei is? It's the core of your mind, where all your memories are stored. I take it to a safe place and that's how it goes .You will not be burned to death by the sun, you must believe me!"
The voice of the eldest son was silent for a moment, but when it sounded again, it was regretful: "No, this is not possible."
"Why?"
"There is no brain nucleus..."
Hao Ren: "?"
