It sounds ridiculous.

However, in essence, Xu Yan's approach is actually the most efficient emotionally.

It's like if two people are destined to separate, it is better to quarrel before they separate, so that when they really turn their faces, they will just lose an enemy to each other, and there will be no more broken ties.

But if you can talk to each other until the time of the breakup, then the separation is undoubtedly a great torture.

Wu Xiaoqing is now in this kind of torture.

It's a strange feeling, but one thing is for sure, it's absolutely impossible to experience on Earth - even if you're a twin, you can't be sure that the other person has exactly the same thoughts and experiences as you, and that you all have exactly the same thought patterns.

It's as if your soul has jumped out of your body and exists in another place, beckoning to you.

Just like Wu Xiaoqing now, although he is in the park of the earth, he has always subconsciously thought of those clones from another world, what are they doing, thinking, doing, and experiencing?

If it weren't for the search and rescue team to let them come back, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen almost didn't want to come back now, and now even if they came back physically, the whole person still seemed to have lost their souls.

……

After Wu Qing looked at the other party, only two seconds later, the other party suddenly said, "I'm a clone, right?" ”

Wu Qing shook his head, but quickly nodded again: "Me too." ”

The other party shook his head the same: "It's different...... You look around me. With that, he began to retreat.

In the video, the place where the other party is staying is exactly the same as the place where Wu Qing is staying now, it is an original space that has not been transformed. But as soon as the camera is pulled away, the difference is easy to see - there are a lot of people there.

On Wu Qing's side, he was the only one, but the square in the video was already bustling at this time.

Wu Qing soon discovered that the perspective of the video was under his control, and he subconsciously turned his perspective closer to several other people nearby, and soon, he saw several faces that were exactly the same as himself, the faces of the Federation people, and the expressions on these faces were almost identical.

At first, it was a strong shock, and these "Wu Xiaoqing" looked at each other with their eyes, judging, and they almost all came to the conclusion that they were clones.

Soon after, communication began, and some of the clones who were relatively close together began to talk to each other, and at this point, strange phenomena appeared.

After saying the first two sentences, everyone saw a very unnatural response in each other's eyes.

Because everyone's thoughts at this moment are almost the same, what they want to say, even the tone of voice when they speak, and the mood when they speak, are exactly the same.

This is a strange phenomenon, at first everyone tries to communicate in words, but soon Wu Xiaoqing discovers that they only need to look at each other with their eyes to fully understand what the other party wants to express.

Then, over the course of two full days, the number of clones in the square began to increase, and at the same time, the entire square world began to undergo noticeable environmental changes.

The original horizontal ground has now become the surface of a huge planet, the sun overhead has begun to move in the sky, and the flat ground has begun to appear bulges and ravines, while at the same time, "Wu Xiaoqing" has seized the time to communicate while avoiding the ongoing environmental transformation.

Wu Qing soon discovered that these clones soon formed a small society.

In the beginning, they were probably in small groups of 12 to 15 people, because this number basically allowed everyone to take turns speaking and expressing their opinions, and at the same time, they didn't have to worry about waiting too long.

After the surface of the planet was almost transformed, Wu Xiaoqing's pure single-person society also appeared the most basic social order.

They numbered everyone, not in the order in which they appeared — and that order was not counted. It's just based on the order in which everyone joins the organization.

Yes, it's just a little more than a day, and all the "Wu Xiaoqing" have begun to set up the most basic organization.

They call this organization "Wu Guo", which is a rather ridiculous statement. Within the state of Wu, they assigned specific numbers to everyone in order, and internally, they called each other by each other's numbers.

When the total number of clones had exceeded 200,000, the number of people in Wu had also expanded to 90,000.

At this time, Wu Qing could only understand this brand-new organization through data, because his eyes couldn't see more and more individuals.

The enthusiasm of the "Wu Xiaoqing" began to rise - after more than twenty hours, the synchronization of thinking between the clones began to be disrupted, and differences began to appear between people.

Everyone's mood also began to fluctuate gradually, some people chatted and chatted more and more excited, some people began to have depression and uneasiness, about an average of more than 200 replicas, there will be a person with a mental breakdown.

The world is getting bigger and bigger, but Wu Xiaoqing is starting to get closer and closer, and many subsequent replicas are randomly distributed in this virtual world, but after they appeared, the first thing they did was to light a torch in various parts of this square world to guide the subsequent replicators to gather together to everyone's location.

There are trees in the virtual world, and they can be cut down and interacted with, probably because they are so bored, some of the "Wu Xiaoqing" have begun to try to work, they carved the wood into simple wooden signs, and gave each person a sign to put on their chest, with their own number written on it.

A man with the number 3305 became the first clerk of the basic organization - he was responsible for coordinating the calculation of the latest numbered numbers.

The next day, they even carved out a large clearing in the forest of the virtual world, and then used a very crude log cabin on top of it as the office of the clerk. They used tree bark to make paper and carbon to make pens, some "Wu Xiaoqing" began to draw backgammon on the ground to entertain each other, and others even began to draw comics.

Wu Qing never realized that he still wanted these hobbies.

I don't know if it's because of entertainment or something else, but when it was close to 30 hours, there was the first case of a fight dispute within Wu State.

There were not two people involved in the fight, but more than a dozen, no one around knew the reason, and after the fight, no one tried to persuade them, everyone just watched silently, and then silently went to do their own things.

When the dozen or so people were done, they got together and laughed — and several of them even started crying with laughter.

This evokes some of Wu Qing's remaining memories of Wu Xiaoqing's presence on Earth, and these fights are, in a sense, nothing more than a kind of enhanced memory—they seem to want to get emotional resonance and connection with the original Wu Xiaoqing in this way.

But it didn't work.

In Wu Qing's memory, there are only emotional memories of the fight, and as for the details, he can't remember anything clearly.

For Wu Xiaoqing, these experiences should have been engraved in his mind like Xu Yan's bank card, but now...... A group of Wu Xiaoqing fought each other for a long time, but they could only stop helplessly in the end.

By the end of the second day, the total population of the entire virtual planet had exceeded three million, and the speed at which Wu Xiaoqing appeared next was still increasing, increasing rapidly.

A large number of buildings and urban facilities began to appear, and the Wu Xiaoqing began to be further divided by space, and in the whole process, the number of officials in the state of Wu also began to increase rapidly, most of them were temporary appointments and dismissals, and the most strange thing is that these appointments and dismissals were almost unanimously agreed by others.

Who is suitable for what, in the internal environment of Wu State, there is no need to even say a word, as long as the clerk solicits everyone's opinions, just raise his hand.

Changbai came to see Wu Qing twice in this process, of course, he also watched these live broadcasts of Wu Xiaoqing, and when he saw that in a room, some Wu Xiaoqing had already begun to pick up books and try to deduce mathematical formulas on the blackboard, he sighed in surprise: "The atmosphere here is the best." ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Who are you competing with?" ”

"Who else, your other two companions."

Wu Qing realized the strange place at this time, for more than two days, he didn't even remember what Shen Wen and Xu Yan were doing now.

He saw it soon.

Shen Wen is okay there, probably because of his age, the atmosphere shown by "Shen Changwen" is generally more negative than that of Wu Xiaoqing. They did not form a small group of more than a dozen people like Wu Xiaoqing, nor did they further integrate on this basis. All the Shen Changwen people almost kept a proper distance from each other, and they rarely spoke, and even if they did, they were all soft-spoken. More often than not, they just get together to tell a few jokes, or be in a daze.

The real trouble is Xu Yan.

The same square, the same planetary surface, the behavior between Xu Yan is already a disaster.

Countless Xu Yan quarreled in the camera, and almost everywhere, "Xu Yan" could be seen scolding and even attacking each other.

"They're just trying to make sure they're being copied higher in the order," Changbai said, "here...... The first to be copied had higher qualifications to participate in the war. ”

"Eligibility to fight?" Wu Xiaoqing was stunned, "Are they still rushing to the battlefield?" ”

"Yes," said Changbai, "they seem to believe that if they are useless here, they will be executed, so everyone fights desperately for ......"

This does sound like Xu Yan's logic of behavior.

"But in fact, they don't have much chance anymore, and in the socialization assessment composed of the three of you, Xu Yan's score is the lowest, with a full score of 29 out of 100."

Wu Qing smiled bitterly: "Do you still need to score this?" Does failing a pass send us back? ”

"Enclosed virtual spaces like yours consume very little resources...... Regardless of the outcome of the review, there is not much of a problem in surviving.

"What about Professor Shen and me?"

"Professor Shen only has a score of 47, he is too old," Changbai said, "A soldier is a profession that requires a complete balance of reason and emotion, and the lack of any of them will greatly reduce the combat strength." ”

"That'...... Only my copy is more satisfying? ”

"So to speak."

Wu Qing smiled bitterly: "Then aren't they going to die monotonously in the future...... It's all on my own......"

If you really go back to Earth, these days can simply scare people crazy. I'm afraid that only in horror and suspense movies will there be such scenes.

But in fact, looking back at the virtual world of Wu Qing's clones, these Wu Qing are actually quite fun to get along with. Wu Qing noticed that at this time, a basic law had already appeared in Wu State--it was strictly forbidden for some individual "Wu Xiaoqing" who were in a bad mood to vent their emotions by swearing, and once discovered, they would expel "Wu Xiaoqing" who violated this rule from the city limits.

Wu Qing even believes that if these "Wu Xiaoqing" are allowed to continue to be cultivated like this, it will not be long before these "Wu Xiaoqing" themselves can form a group in the entire virtual world, and even become a unique single civilization.

"The specific military training will last about a month......" When Changbai finally left, he explained to Wu Qing the main purpose of coming this time - to inform him about the situation in the outside world, "If nothing else, you will be asked to fight Zhiti in a month...... When the time comes, the fate of these people ...... I'm afraid it won't be very optimistic. ”
