In the boundless dark world, strips of blue data lights interweave in an orderly manner, forming the shape of a young man. In front of him is a virtual screen also composed of lines, on which flashes at an extremely fast speed. Group after group of data, but the man breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately it wasn't detected."
He has no name in this multi-dimensional information space, only a number, called "2018".
There are many people who exist like him, but they will never meet in this space, because this space itself is a virtual abstract space.
It can store all kinds of information data, not just a simple, flat data storage, it can also process the transmitted data, and can also capture the image of the brain cells that have not died to achieve the connection with the human brain.
This multi-dimensional information space with only one person is also called the personal terminal system, which is connected to the central processing terminal system.
The data exchange between personal terminal systems cannot be realized, but the central processing terminal system can read and detect the situation of the personal terminal system.
Simply put, the "multi-dimensional information space" is like a world, a space that contains everything, and the "personal terminal system" is like a house built in this world.
Data is matter, and no matter where the matter is collected, it can be stored in the house. People can enter and exit the house while making contact with the substances stored in the house.
But because the house has walls and barriers, and it is also an independent entity, there is no intersection between the house and the house.
There is a bridge in front of each room, which connects the central system that maintains the heaven and earth and ensures that the house can be used normally. People can communicate with the central system through this bridge.
____
The personal terminal system, that is, the "house" in the space, does not currently belong to the "2018" individual, because it is only a newly developed test product by the terminal system committee and has not been officially released. That is, they are provided by the committee to temporarily settle in the house.
However, the "data body" in the terminal system belongs to him, and it cost more than 30,000 sand dollars to buy it back!
____
Recalling that when he was backward in his family, he was ridiculed and abused by his rivals many times. After learning that his rivals were going to participate in the league, he impulsively signed up for the league in order to fight for that breath and for the rich rewards of the league.
The full name of the league is "New Century Survival League". It is a competition organized by the committee with the consent of various countries in the alliance to commemorate the bicentenary of human beings' rebirth and entering the new century.
Of course, it is also a competition that the committee invests in to show the world the newly developed multi-dimensional information space, and to advertise by the way.
The form of the competition is different from the previous inherent form. It adopts a new model, which is to import the data collected from the experimental brain through the newly invented "multi-dimensional information space", so that the data can be materialized and integrated as "Data Body".
By connecting with the human brain, people can enter this space, so that in this space, using the "data body", compete with each other according to the rules of the league.
After the league came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and everyone was eager to try it.
However, there are only more than 10,000 personal terminal systems developed at present, and there are only more than 10,000 "data bodies" bought from the research institute. The committee has set up the qualifications for registration.
The limited registration qualifications and price have stuck many people here, and "2018" just got the qualification to buy "data body" from the committee through acquaintances, and the number "2018" was drawn.
Because the "data body" with complete data and stable activities is too expensive, and it is basically reserved by those contestants who have a prominent family background and money, and participate in the competition just for early adopters.
"2018" can only spend one year's living expenses - 30,000 sand dollars, to buy a "data body" with incomplete data and very active.
If the data of the "data body" is too active, it means that it is unstable. He needs to spend a lot of energy to stabilize the data and avoid parameter errors.
He can find a way to fill in the missing data and set a framework to stabilize the "data body" before the league starts, but once the league starts, the "data body" has parameter errors due to its activity, and he cannot manually correct it. And if the "data body" cannot be automatically corrected, the central processing terminal system may also detect it, thereby disqualifying him from the competition.
Before the start of the league, he had repeatedly pondered and studied the situation of the "data body". In order to better connect the "data body" and make the "data body" cooperate, he set detailed operating parameters within the scope permitted by the league rules.
It was only after the league started that he vaguely regretted: his "data body" had no chance of winning at all, especially when the league required to activate the "data body" within seven days, the "data body" did not cooperate at all, No matter how many commands he entered, the data was very smooth, with no ups and downs.
"Sure enough, the god of luck will not favor me. Not only did I get the unfortunate number '2018', but the 'data body' with unstable data has too many problems and it is difficult to control!" He sighed secretly.
2018 is the year when the Q virus appeared and began to ravage. It is the beginning of the end of the world, so it will always be considered unknown in history.
Seeing that it is already the sixth day in the deadline, when "2018" expressed disappointment, anxiety and anxiety about the "data body"'s non-cooperation, it finally agreed to bind and was successfully activated!
This brought a glimmer of hope to "2018", who had already been disappointed with the "data body" named "Hao Jian". He was greatly relieved, and finally he did not lose his qualification for the competition!
Despite this, he also knew that it was too difficult for him to win, not to mention the top ten with different rewards, even the top 100 would be extremely difficult.
Of course, the source of difficulty is not his opponents, but the "data body".
Because the "data body" is the data integration captured from the genetic information of the brain body, it has an ontology, that is, the brain body still retained in the Alliance Genetic Information Research Institute.
Because two hundred years ago, when the research institute obtained these zombie brains and used them for research, it was unexpectedly found that the brain cells in the brains of some zombies were not completely dead. In other words, it still retains the image of when it was a human, but for various reasons, the data of some brains are not very complete.
Later, researchers saved these brain bodies for study. After many years, after the multi-dimensional information space was invented, they copied the data of the brain bodies to form "data bodies".
In addition to being difficult to control, unstable "data bodies" also have the possibility of "awakening".
The "data body" cannot be awakened, which will violate various laws and regulations of the alliance, and at the same time, various issues such as human ethics and morality will occur. Therefore, the specific manifestation of "awakening" is that an error occurs under the parameters set by the central processing terminal system.
Occasional, small-scale errors are fine, as is the case with stable "data volumes".
It's just that "data bodies" are automatically corrected in cases where they can't be corrected manually. The more stable the "data body", the higher the probability of automatic correction, and the more unstable and incomplete "data body" will encounter various problems during automatic correction, and thus stop the automatic correction.
The central processing terminal system does not always receive data from the personal terminal system, so as long as the central processing terminal system does not detect the parameter error of the "data body", he will not be disqualified.
It's just that as the parameter errors in the "data body" become more and more serious, the central processing terminal system will one day detect it.
But what can he do? Hao Jian's performance was beyond his imagination. Not only was it not handled by the central system due to incorrect parameters, but he was also not eliminated due to lack of cooperation in the early stages of the league as he imagined at the beginning.
Hao Jian gave him hope of winning, and he did not want to lose the qualification of the competition, so even if he knew that Hao Jian's situation was on the verge of "awakening", he did nothing.
____
Lian Runing found that Hao Jian had frequent nightmares recently. She was very surprised. She had to know that Hao Jian had also experienced the cruelest things. What else could be the source of Hao Jian's nightmares
After Hao Jian woke up from a nightmare, he would usually meditate without saying a word. Lian Runing would occasionally be woken up by her movements, and then just looked at her without interrupting her thoughts.
Only when Hao Jian found her awake and leaned over to kiss her would she ask, "How can I help you?"
Hao Jian usually smiled and said, "The scene formed by the dream comes from memory, maybe my reflex arc is too long, so the things that I should have been afraid of in the past are put on hold until today, resulting in a bad dream. It's just a dream, I'm fine."
That's right, it's just a dream. Lian Runing can't control what kind of dreams Hao Jian has. Besides being by Hao Jian's side and giving her a sense of security, she can't do anything.
Maybe Hao Jian finally recovered. After the weather started to cool down, she didn't have any more nightmares.
At this time, the government launched several crackdowns against the activities of the Nantah Sect, and they destroyed a lair of the Nantah Sect. This time, the official rescued Peng Mao, who was taken away by Ding Gu Nian.
Peng Mao, who was rescued, seemed to be in a very poor state of mind, but he didn't have many scars on his body. In order to find out what happened to him, and in order to find information on breaking through the NTU religion from him, the government specially recruited many psychologists and spiritual experts to provide him with psychological counseling.
However, Peng Mao said that he did not receive much torture, but that he had seen a lot of the perverted behavior of NTU, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Hao Jian went to see him on purpose, and his joy was beyond words, and he was babbling as before.
"Xin Ting is now working beside the junior sister. She is very safe, and so are the junior sister and I." Hao Jian said.
Peng Mao breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "They want to inquire about you from me, and they seem to be very interested in your background."
He lowered his voice deliberately, "I didn't tell them the organization you joined, I think they just wanted to know about that organization."
Hao Jian nodded: "Thank you."
"Also, do you know what happened to Ding Gu Nian?" Peng Mao asked again.
Hao Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone knows what happened to him."
Peng Mao smiled bitterly: "I know why Xiaosheng followed him in the first place. After seeing it with his own eyes, his abilities are indeed very attractive."
Mentioning Peng Sheng, Peng Mao still felt a little uncomfortable.
Hao Jian didn't say anything, persuaded him to take a good rest and accept counseling and left.
