Gu Tie struggled to wake up from a deep dream and suddenly opened his eyes.
The window panes cut the sunlight into messy shapes. On an early autumn morning in Beijing, the sky is clear and distant.
He looked at the clock in the corner of the room. At nine-fifteen, the courtyard was quiet. The housekeeper Zhao Boying had finished washing and sweeping, walked three times, had breakfast, and went out for a walk with the birdcage.
Gu Tie rubbed his temples.
Dreaming was not a pleasant experience for him. The dreams were often as thick as syrup, making it difficult for him to move and breathe, as if he were drowning.
The sleep clinic was unable to do anything about it and advised him to immediately stop using brainwave interference devices to reduce REM sleep time. People cannot live on light sleep alone. However, the few hours of gaming he played before falling asleep last night allowed him to relax physically and mentally. Gu Tie
I can’t wait to share this amazing thing with Xiao Liping.
"Look for Lao Xiao." Gu Tie lifted the quilt, grabbed two handfuls of messy hair, and snapped his fingers.
A few seconds later, a flat projection of Xiao Liping sitting at his desk appeared in the middle of the room.
Gu Tie pointed at him and cheered, "I really can't get enough of you wearing this outfit."
Xiao Li said with a flat face: "Stop talking nonsense, the old man will make a surprise inspection this afternoon. We will have a meeting in fifteen minutes to arrange the reception work. We have something to talk about." He was sitting behind the desk, wearing a white shirt, an earthy blue jacket, and no tie.
, with his hair neatly combed and wearing a pair of old-fashioned tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, he looked ten years older than his actual age.
"Your old man?"
"Shit, that old man above me."
"That's really a big event! I'll make a long story short. News came from Shamsher that a game that doesn't look like a game has been launched globally simultaneously. I tried it yesterday and it's very awesome. If you are interested, come and join us."
"You can have some free time. What game?"
"You have a goal, so it's urgent. I'm just dawdling around. I have to find something to do. It's called 'World', a fantasy background."
"I'm not interested. It's okay. I'm offline. Go and wash your face." Xiao Li turned around and said with a straight face: "Get me to the Bureau of Government Affairs."
"Wait a minute, let me finish. First, only 1 million quotas will be released for one year of public beta; second, no information will be released publicly. The quotas are only for universities, research institutions, government departments and game companies after selection.
Randomly selected samples from all walks of life. Are you a little interested?"
Xiao Liping frowned. "It sounds more like an anthropological experiment. I'll give you another five minutes to introduce it."
Gu Tiele said, "Put away your conspiracy theories. Listen, the development and running environment of this game are based on 'Genesis', which means that this is the first game in history to apply quantum computing technology. GTC and
It was jointly released by some kind of company. The human-computer interaction interface is based on EEG signals. There is a hypodermic injection probe in the installation package. Look, the syringe I received last night."
Gu Tie picked up a metal round tube packaged in an exquisite crystal box from the bedside table, "I injected it into my medulla oblongata last night. It was very simple and not painful at all. The probe with a diameter of 300 microns can detect nerve signals."
The level of integration of receiving, interpreting, transcoding, and transmitting network signals is frighteningly high. It is said to be stacked and processed by microorganisms of organic materials."
"You mean, the client of this game has completely separated from the terminal?"
"That's right, dear Minister Xiao. As long as you are injected with this gadget, you can log in to the game at any time wherever wireless signals cover it - that is, more than 95% of human settlements in the world - no matter you walk, sit, lie down, eat, drink or have diarrhea.
"Imagine, one second you are doing piston movements with your mistress, and the next second you are killing evil goblins in the game, what a beautiful life you have inside and outside." Gu Tiezui gave a crooked smile.
"How much neural signals are intercepted by the game?" Xiao Liping took off his glasses, his eyes serious. "In addition, I don't have a mistress."
"Autonomic nerve signals, 0. Other, 90%. Retains the most basic perceptual abilities. This 10% is probably used to keep one eye open during sleep to prevent the original wife from catching an adulterer." Gu Tie said, grabbing an open carton of milk.
, looked at the production date, and drank it.
"Is there any harm in being suddenly awakened?"
"According to the information Shamsher gave me, there is basically no. The human brain needs to make a judgment between the two situations. Since there is a 10% difference in perception, I believe everyone can figure out that they have returned to the real world. By the way.
, her Western Institute of Anthropology and Behavior is one of the game’s outsourcing agencies and is responsible for 15,000 random sample accounts in North America, so the data is fairly reliable. I’ll pass it on to you.”
Gu Tie snapped his fingers to bring up the menu, selected a file in the air and sent it to Xiao Liping.
"Dr. Zuni Farha Komancher, is this Shamsher's real name? It's very hard to pronounce." Xiao Liping commented. He printed out the documents with a printer, bound them neatly, put on his glasses, and leaned on the leather chair.
Watch.
"So I prefer to call each other by the apostle's name, not because I doubt the security of quantum encrypted communication, but because it is simple." Gu Tie crumpled up the empty milk carton and threw it into the trash can.
"And your bad taste. I searched and found that those bad names come from a Japanese cartoon half a century ago." Xiao Liping glanced at him.
"I would be very grateful if you could call it 'literary heritage.'"
"I'm not that naive. Based on 'Genesis'...neuron interface...security of probes...introduction to game technology...wait, what is EARTH?"
"You, an enemy of green environmental protection and a die-hard supporter of obsolete technology, have discovered something that printing paper cannot show." Gu Tie clicked on the file and opened a three-dimensional animation demonstration in the chapter introducing game technology.
There is a house standing on the beach. The tide comes and goes, the sun rises and sets. According to the timeline label, thirty years have passed quickly. The beach is still the same and the house is still the same. The video is fixed on the comparison of the two screenshots at the beginning and the end. Due to the sea water
Due to the erosion of the sea breeze, tiny sand holes appeared on the wall thirty years later, the plaster peeled off, and the mainstays were covered with barnacles. Compared with thirty years ago, the house was obviously dilapidated.
"That's it? Any imbecile who can make videos can do it." Xiao Liping said.
Gu Tie waved his hand disdainfully, "You don't understand. In reality, this is frighteningly simple, but in the game, this is frighteningly complicated.
If a game engine can completely simulate the atmosphere, hydrology, and crustal movement, so that the environment can change independently based on basic variables, coupled with the conscious or unconscious transformation behavior of NPCs and players on the world, the environment will become full of unknowns after the game is run.
Completely out of the game developer's foresight.
In other words, apart from the cultural background, there is no difference in realism between this game world and the real world. Is this scary? This engine is called EARTH, which is 'teH' (Real Existence Evolution Template H Type). If
It’s not that the developers are bragging, then they have really built a world. - With the capabilities of Genesis, I believe this is not a fantasy.”
