Wu Qing was taken to a room in a building, and he didn't know what was going on.

Changbai just told him that he needed to hide in the game, but it seemed to him that he was already in the game now.

"It's different," although there were no other players around, Changbai involuntarily lowered his voice and told Wu Qing, "Strictly speaking, the second earth is just an entrance...... Many games don't comply with federal law, but when it comes to this, they are completely legal, and a completely virtual world itself can create a richer virtual world. ”

Wu Qing's first impression was that the building was very large.

The people of the Federation prefer to live underground, generally speaking, the feeling that the underground world brings to the earthlings is often crowded and cramped, but it is different here, the entire space has been completely hollowed out, Wu Qing raised his head, and could even see the lights from other cities above his head, they are like the starry sky, dotted in the sky above the vast land......

Although it is a virtual world, this underground city is said to have been built entirely on the basis of the reality of the First Federation. However, the difference is that in the First Federation, the building in the real estate area is the office building of the Second Federation Group, but here, it becomes a general entrance to all other virtual games.

"We also call it a game building, or a game maze," Changbai explained to Wu Qing after walking in, "Usually there are hundreds of thousands of games in a building, do you see the front?" What are the three paths? ”

The whole room was large, but it was not like the earth, or any other building Wu Qing had seen before, the interior was neat, at least it had a shape. The interior of this game building is completely like a giant assembly line factory, and everywhere you can see, there are constantly moving conveyor belts.

The biggest difference between the conveyor belt here and the earth factory conveyor belt is that the earth's conveyor belt transports parts, products, or luggage, while the conveyor belt here is standing or sitting, and all people are there.

In front of Wu Qing and Changbai, there were countless people queuing up at the door of the conveyor belt, and Wu Qing only followed Changbai and the female People's Army leader who led the way in front of him - the name is very strange, called Changhong - for Wu Qing, this name has a sense of intimacy, but he can't remember exactly why it is familiar.

"Why do you like to use Chang as your last name?"

"Growing up in the culture of the Federation means a lot of things...... It is not only a kind of grandeur in shape, but also a continuous continuation in time, and finally there is the meaning of interjections......" Changbai paused, looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and said, "The simplest meaning, looking at such a colorful world, who doesn't want to live longer...... Let's go. ”

Wu Qing noticed that Changhong and Changbai, who were walking in front of him, made way for him, which obviously meant to let him walk in front.

"Where are you going?"

"Whatever," the other party said, "whether I want to find you a virtual space as a safe house, what type of specific it is, it still depends on your preferences." ”

"Preferences?" Wu Qing unconsciously walked through the crowd and came to the entrance of a conveyor belt.

The biggest difference is that the shape of the escalator is not straight, but like the slide design of the playground, it is crooked everywhere, like a three-dimensional curve that is randomly drawn and then extended at will.

Wu Qing almost had an illusion at this moment, as if he was like a child, appearing at the entrance of a huge playground at this moment. Especially the expressions on the faces of people who are already standing, or sitting, or even lying on their stomachs on the conveyor belt......

"What do they seem to be looking at?" Wu Qing noticed the eyes of these people, and they all seemed to be looking at the air on the side of the conveyor belt—one to the left, the other to the right, and sometimes their eyes were stunned.

And these people around Wu Qing had opposite eyes, and they all looked impatient in their eyes...... It's like the excitement of many children at the entrance of a playground.

"You can see it when you walk up," Changbai said, "and in order to protect everyone's privacy, everyone's visual information here is independent." ”

"Independence?"

"It's that everyone sees the same information." While Changbai was talking, Wu Qing had already been unconsciously guided to the conveyor belt by the crowd, and at this moment, the world in Wu Qing's entire eyes changed.

The environment that was originally like a factory was suddenly covered by the clouds and mist, and the escalator under his feet turned into a path through the woods, and on both sides of the road was a picture of the entire sky, Wu Qing saw strange, mouse-like mounts, and people riding on huge rats, they were wearing golden metal armor, holding weapons to rush and slash, and turned their heads, but on the other side of the road were warships sailing in the starry sky, huge planet surfaces......

The forest path at your feet split into two at this time, one leading in the direction of the knight and the other leading to the starry sky. Wu Qing subconsciously made a choice in his brain, and the direction of the conveyor belt under his feet also turned in the direction he was thinking, Wu Qing suddenly realized a fact, he turned his head, trying to see where the other road led - but did not see any road.

Thinking back to the information I had just seen in the hall, there was no fork in the conveyor belts themselves......

"These are game choices, no matter what direction you choose, the road is the one under your feet, the difference is that it makes you feel like you've made a choice through optical illusions," Changbai explained, "What did you just see?" ”

"It seems to be...... Knights of your time? And space battleships. ”

"Oh, that's by time," Changbai said, "history and future...... There will be more and more options, which is to help you filter the games. ”

"Are all games history and future?"

"Of course not...... These are all matches from a conscious scan of your brain, and it seems that you should be interested in our history. ”

Wu Qing admitted it - what he was subconsciously thinking about in his mind was always this mission.

Even if Wu Qing has realized that he is not Wu Xiaoqing, even if Wu Qing is even in danger now, he always unconsciously considers the success or failure of this mission. But also, in this completely unfamiliar world, what else does he have besides the mission?

"So can I just select the information I'm interested in?" "Does my choice have an impact on the shelter and the safe house itself?" ”

"Before you make a final decision, you still have to tell us," Changbai said, "that we don't recommend any online games that you play with other people...... Because once we enter the game world, we can't track and control it, by the way, you add us as a friend first......"

"How do you add it?"

"Turn your head and look at us, we have options above our heads."

Wu Qing quickly completed these two operations, as Changbai said, the operation in the virtual world is not difficult, and the corresponding icon will appear above everyone's head, although the text Wu Qing can't understand for the time being, but the meaning is still easy to understand.

"Here is the text library that your civilization has transmitted to us......" Changbai patted Wu Qing and handed over a book in his surprised eyes, Changbai looked at the name of the book, and almost didn't react for a while, because it was really a bit of a discord - "Federal Chinese Dictionary".

"It's a virtual message, remember?" Changbai said, "Take it, open the catalog, follow the prompts, and you're ready to go." ”

Wu Qing noticed that at this time, there were many more Chinese in the picture he saw, and many game names appeared around him, "Star War", "Navigation Era", "War of Civilizations", ......

StarCraft's demo animation shows a battleship shuttling back and forth on the battlefield, focusing enemies while dodging damage, and it looks like an action game; The sailing era is a simulated construction of warships, and there are detailed data on all parts of the battleship; The Age of Civilization simulates the operation of a civilization, and the player can be a nation, or the leader of a civilization, such as an archon......

The animations of these demonstrations are obviously the part of information that Wu Qing is most eager to understand.

But Wu Qing was not in a hurry to make a choice immediately.

He let the conveyor belt under his feet continue to send him forward, and at the same time, Wu Qing's head began to constantly rate these games, which were either too detailed, or online battles, or too exaggerated......

By this time, Wu Qing had almost mastered this way of dealing with thinking and games. Soon, on the side of the road that belonged to him, there were fewer and fewer game options in the future, and there were originally many different graphics, but now they all gradually became the same game.

"It's the result of optimizing your ideas...... Changbai said, "Of course, if you're not satisfied, you can cancel it and start from scratch or start from any branch." ”

Wu Qing began to understand that this was almost equivalent to him using his consciousness to constantly propose boundary conditions, and then conduct advanced and precise searches.

Unlike the search engine in memory, it's smarter here. If Wu Qing wants Baidu's most realistic war game, there is a chance that the first dozen or so options are ...... Well, it's more likely that the first dozen or so options are all pit money page games that cost a huge amount of advertising money.

But here, to a large extent, the game demo that appeared was quite in line with Wu Qing's requirements.

The name of the game is Solar System Storm, and it is a simulation of the war between AI and humans that is now going on. The game is divided into single and online play, and from the opinions of many people who have played it, it is clear that this game is more suitable for solo play.

On Earth, there are 800 games about the theme of World War II, and even the modern military theme after World War II...... Obviously more in the virtual game library of the Federation. But in the end, Wu Qing screened it, and only this one he felt might be the most suitable for him.

"Solar System Storms...... It can be online. Changbai was a little worried.

"I won't be connected to anyone else, and even if I do, they may not be able to confirm my identity, right?" Wu Qing now understands the encryption principle of the game to some extent, and knows that in most games in the virtual world, player information is strictly confidential, and this secrecy is a rule set at the beginning of the establishment of the virtual community of Second Earth - the purpose is actually to prevent government interference. ——It is highly consistent with Wu Qing's purpose at this time.

"The government must have given you a template for behavior...... This analysis may not be accurate, but it may work. Once the other party locks you in the game, they will be able to analyze the real storage address based on your performance in the game. ”

"Real storage address? Doesn't that mean that all players' information is kept strictly confidential? "This is also the technical basis of the whole escape. Otherwise, just like on Earth, you flee to the ends of the earth in the computer world, and the government comes to your door directly based on network information - as long as the hard disk is pulled, it is not a dead word.

"The secrecy you are talking about is the old yellow calendar from one or two hundred years ago," Changhong, who had not spoken, interjected, "The government has already had the corresponding cracking technology." As long as they lock the account of the game you are playing, you can easily lock it according to the distribution of computing resources that your game needs to consume...... Nominally Two Earth is an independent state, but sometimes the government only needs to send a repairman to copy your stored information...... Their purpose was achieved. ”

"Copying it?" Wu Qing didn't understand, "Then we...... Isn't there no danger? ”

"No, copying is just investigation and evidence collection," Changhong said, "As long as they can prove that you are not official citizens of the Federation, the protection of the Second Earth for you will disappear completely." A large part of the reason you're safe here now is because the calculations you show aren't too unusual - but if you don't play the game, the low cost of computing resources will gradually expose you. ”

Wu Qing was taken aback to the point of absurdity: "It's also a mistake not to play games?" ”

"Of course that's not right...... For us now, though, yes. ”
