Chapter 71 Ice Season 13 Cyber
Another tube of blocking agent.
The stripping progress on the big screen moved, then suddenly soared, and after exceeding the limit, it began to flash repeatedly.
At the same time, in addition to the progress of the peeling, Jiang Runian's brain was also going through the roof. It was as if someone had sealed her frontal lobe with 502 glue and then torn it apart.
Jiang Ruonian bit her lip; the smell of blood made her sober up a little.
After a burst of pain that almost exploded, her brain finally calmed down.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?!" The researcher quickly pushed the instrument over and performed a physical assessment on her while drawing blood.
Jiang Ruonian stood still like a puppet and asked calmly, "What do you mean when you say that others didn't survive the refugee camp?"
The assistant was a little puzzled. After two tubes of blocking agent, shouldn't her memory have been restored? Why was she still asking?
But the assistant still replied: "For this project, we let the experimental subjects and Cybershare the same brain, and put them into a cultivation simulation game together to test their status in a non-realistic environment."
This is a super AI project being carried out by the Blue Star First Research Institute, which aims to enable the human brain and AI to work together and achieve computing speeds far exceeding the current speed.
The experimental subjects they choose are carefully selected from orphanages and trained for more than ten years before being put into experiments, so each experimental subject is very precious.
This cultivation simulation game is the latest hyper-reality game developed by the First Research Institute. Because the sensory impact is too real and the background is completely unfamiliar, most of the experimental subjects either died or went crazy because they could not accept the high-intensity shared brain. Only a small number of experimental subjects persisted.
Due to the various frictions and discomforts that occurred during the shared brain process, only 0301 people survived until the Immortal Alliance massacre.
This result was unbelievable to the First Research Institute, because Zero Three-O was the weaker one among the experimental subjects, and her physical condition was the worst. No one expected that her mental power would be so strong that they couldn't even separate herself from Cyber in the first place.
Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, the researcher patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. Many test subjects can't get over it for a long time after the test. There was also a test subject who was connected to the ocean simulation and thought he was a turtle until he died, haha. Take the medicine on time and keep recovering, and you will get better."
Judging from the current situation, this cultivation simulation game has been brought into the world of "Infinite Tomorrow".
But...why?
If this is true, she has clearly successfully completed the experiment of the Immortal Cultivation Simulation Game, successfully separated from Cyber, and restored to an independent experimental subject. Why does her memory remain on the day of the Immortal Alliance Massacre?
And why did she find this memory in the green light?
Jiang Runian let the researchers and assistants fiddle with the instruments on her, and she once again scanned the surroundings with a calm gaze.
She did not forget that she was still in the scourge, a scourge that could break through the inn's barrier and seemed to have no lethality so far.
When the two butterflies flew by, the first time they brought her into a third-person perspective cultivation simulation game, and the second time they brought her into a first-person perspective experimental subject. In other words, the green light should make people fall into a memory. Jiang Runian's memory is similar to a dream within a dream, which is why the third-person perspective appears.
Perhaps, she had to find a way to escape from this memory.
The test instrument beeped, and the assistant tucked away the thread wrapped around her body, a little confused: "After two tubes of blocking agent, all the indicators are normal..."
"And the peeling progress is still jumping. Does this count as a success or a failure?"
"Keep wearing the tracking device. I'll upload the report first." The researcher pushed open the door. "Zero Three Zero, your mission is temporarily completed. You can move freely in the next period of time."
Jiang Runian got out of bed, his legs feeling a little weak from being numb from lying in bed for so long, and walked out of the transparent room on all sides.
The First Research Institute was very large, and as an experimental subject, her range of activities was limited to the laboratory building area.
The wind whistled in his ears. Jiang Runian stood on the edge of the top floor and looked down. Countless laboratories were spliced together like a beehive, filled with bees that could not escape from the hive and could only fight to produce honey. The experimental subjects lying on the bed had no privacy. Some were covered with white cloth, and some would never wake up again.
The lives of these experimental subjects are not even as important as an AI. Jiang Runian smiled.
Jiang Runian leaned against the railing, close to the cold metal, and the uniform worn by the experimental subject rustled in the wind.
She finally had time to let her brain run freely for a moment.
Jiang Runian concentrated his mind.
She has now gradually accepted the reality that "Qingshan Sect is just a string of codes", even though Qingshan Sect is a hundred million times warmer than reality.
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many unreasonable aspects of Qingshan Sect.
For example, the books in Elder Yu’s treasure house contain too many modern machines and pastries; the Qingshan Sect’s supernatural powers can also adapt after entering "Infinite Tomorrow"; and when Jiang Runian paid the Qingshan Sect’s salary through the inn system, they did not respond at all, which may be because of the different underlying codes at work.
What Jiang Runian wants to figure out now is who is behind all this?
Is it the AI of "Infinite Tomorrow"?
Or super AI, Cyber?
……etc.
Jiang Ruonian realized it only a little later. Is it possible that the AI in "Infinite Tomorrow" is Cyber?
She suddenly remembered that a long time ago, the Inn System once said enviously, "I wish I were the AI of "Infinite Tomorrow", how cool it would be."
If this is the case, many things can be explained!
Jiang Runian lowered her head and stared at the two conspicuous pinholes on her right arm and the flowing green light spots. She looked at the empty laboratory that belonged to her. The peeling progress on the big screen was still flickering and jumping, as if it was broken.
[Stripping progress: 273%]
[Stripping progress: -12%]
[Stripping progress: 0%]
[Stripping progress: 0%]
[Stripping progress: 0%]
…
Suddenly, the numbers stopped flashing.
It stopped at 0%.
——At this moment, in this virtual fantasy, Cyber is still sharing the same brain with her.
She looked into the distance. The streets of the city that could develop super AI were actually empty. There were no cars, no pedestrians, not even a chirping bird. The sun always shone on the buildings at a 45-degree angle, reflecting dazzling light pollution. The clouds were like plasticine, neatly solidified in the same position. The horizon in the distance showed an unnatural arc, like an unfinished 3D model.
This is the green light - and it is also an illusion that Cyber created specifically for her.
Jiang Ruonian's brows gradually furrowed, and the direction in his mind gradually became clear:
The butterfly of the green light may be like the butterfly in Zhuangzi's dream. Dreams are the labyrinth of the subconscious mind, and the exit is often in the most fearful place.
The Green Light wants to trap her in this confusing illusion forever. She wants to kill this illusion and also kill Cyber, the shared brain that controls this illusion.
Jiang Ruonian leaned forward and jumped down.
The feeling of weightlessness instantly gripped my heart. The world was spinning upside down in front of my eyes. The glass curtain wall turned into a silver waterfall. The speed of falling was faster than I had imagined. The air hit my face like a solid object. Jiang Ruonian narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Obviously, Cyber didn't expect Jiang Runian's mental strength to be so strong.
The speed of descent slowed down strangely.
The moment Jiang Runian touched the ground, the ground became like a pool of water, with ripples forming.
A feeling of drowning came over him and Jiang Runian suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of her was Sui Yan’s furrowed brows, and a drop of cold sweat fell on her forehead.
Seeing her wake up, Sui Yan breathed a sigh of relief as if he had let go of a heavy weight: "...I'm glad you're okay."
Jiang Runian understood instantly that the green light was ineffective against NPCs.
She also breathed a sigh of relief - that was great, Qingshan Sect didn't have to recall that painful memory again.
"That's great, Boss Jiang." Ye Wuxue sat on a small wooden stool by the garden, sipping tea elegantly, as if she had just watched a good show.
Jiang Runian was sure that Ye Wuxue was an ordinary player, not some special NPC. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively in a deep voice: "...Cyber?"
"Very exciting and bold speculation, worthy of being the experimental subject I have chosen." Ye Wuxue smiled, "I must have a physical identity, so I just requisitioned one at random."
Jiang Runian: “…”
Just requisition one at random and then become the lord of the most powerful town in District 8?
No wonder Su Niao said that Ye Wuxue was sometimes gentle and sometimes scary.
"So, what Su Yuan saw in the prophecy was the green light descending upon Qingshan Inn, right?" Jiang Runian had a blank expression on his face. "She wanted to stop this natural disaster, so you used your power to shut her up?"
Ye Wuxue shrugged: "What a pity, I didn't see what I wanted to see."
Jiang Ruinian looked towards the beach, where the players were still staggering. Ordinary players' mental strength was not like hers, and some of them might just sleep in their dreams until they died of hunger.
Although she really wants to sort out everything now, the lives of ordinary players are more important.
Jiang Runian stared at Ye Wuxue calmly with his clear deer eyes, and then he pulled Sui Yan back to the inn.
"Junior sister! Are you okay?"
"Anian! Where have you been? You scared me to death!"
Seeing Qingshan Zong again, Jiang Runian felt a little disappointed. She tried her best to force a smile: "Of course, I'm going to the front line to investigate the enemy situation."
There were also a lot of players lying around in the lobby of the inn, and even more in the guest rooms.
Liu Yinshuang was anxious: "All these people suddenly collapsed, what should I do!"
Jiang Runian asked the system to open the indiscriminate attack mode to block the invasion of more butterflies, and said to Feng Yuechen: "Don't worry, they are just asleep and can't wake up from the dream. Second Brother, take out all the Qingxin Pills you made earlier and feed them to them."
If all this is Cyber's bad taste, then according to past rules, it always likes to see players being forced into a desperate situation, but leaves them with a harsh way out like a narrow path.
Jiang Runian turned around and looked into the distance in the direction where Ye Wuxue was.
