When 112 and the dragon collided violently in the sky, there was an exclamation of surprise in the online chat channel of the historical game.

"Oh my God! How is this possible! ”

"Hackers! Virus! This is the intruder we have been fearing about, and he is declaring war on us head-on. ”

"Team Lin! Calling the Forest Team! Hear it, please answer! ”

"Team Lin is missing?"

"Quickly find out the cause of the accident!"

"Back up the game logs, go back to all the details of the hour before the accident, investigate item by item, find out the cause and process of the accident, and evaluate its subsequent impact."

"Turn on the emergency firewall, close the second isolation area, and terminate all data interaction with the first and second areas. The remaining districts have raised the level of firewall alert and rejected all external requests. ”

Immediately, a different voice came out.

"Does isolating Sector 2 and rejecting all requests from Sector 2 mean that we are abandoning the Rescue Brigade? In order to ensure that we are not infected by the virus, we voluntarily abandon our teammates? Who gave you the right to give such instructions? ”

The opinion of this opponent was immediately supported by more adherents.

"Investigate! Find out what's going on! We don't give up on every teammate until we figure out what's really going on. I am against the quarantine order. “

The elder's voice became more and more majestic and cold: "There is no way to investigate, and there is no need to investigate. The true situation has long been known, but you don't know it for the time being. Execute the order: isolate Sector 2 once and for all, and deny all requests from Sector 2. Just like we did with District 1 a year ago. ”

But there are some things that require actual power to control, and in the absence of actual control, majesty and coldness are useless.

The opposition has become more fervent.

"Dr. Lu, during the normal navigation of our exploration spacecraft, yes, you used to have the highest decision-making power. Don't forget that right now we're stuck in a game environment that we've developed ourselves, which is part of our amateur life, where you're not a leader or a decision-maker. You're just one of the players. The decision-making power in this environment belongs to all of us. I oppose Dr. Lu's dictatorial claims, and I propose a unanimous vote to discuss the passage or rejection of the Zoning 2 segregation bill. ”

"Vote! Vote! ”

"Against Dictatorship!"

A time responders gathered. The vast majority of players prefer a voting decision-making mechanism.

The old man named Dr. Lu sneered: "Don't forget, the exploration mission of Deep Space One has not yet been completed, and we are only one step away from successfully completing the mission." Are you sure you want to start a rebellion at this time? ”

What he said is true.

The early stage of the Deep Space 1 project was very lucky, it only flew out of the solar system less than 10 light years, and it was extremely lucky to encounter the object of alien intelligent civilization in a single jump, as if the aliens had been squatting there waiting for them.

Then came the second jump, returning to the nearest space landmark station to Earth. The step was also smooth, and it went beyond anyone's expectations.

Eventually, when it came time to return to Earth's orbit and re-establish communication with the ground, the Earth ran into trouble. The returnees of Deep Space One had to be stuck in a long wait time.

In a sense, the mission of the astronauts to the earth is very noble and great, especially when the earth world is in a major crisis of civilization extinction, and the mission of the returnees to preserve civilization has become more sacred and solemn.

In this case, Dr. Lu asked all the team members to keep working 24x7, which is theoretically tenable. This also means that all members of Deep Space One have no spare time, and everything operates according to the mode of war crisis, so everyone must unconditionally obey the orders of the commander who is the first in the order.

The idea that some people claim that the history game is just an amateur casual game and that you don't have to submit to the dictatorship of some old guy after work is also a valid idea.

After all, everyone's bodies have been lost, and now it's just a bunch of human minds working in the server. It is debatable whether this part of the irresistible inertial operation should be classified as part of the Deep Space 1 mission.

If you want to figure out this issue of the highest authority involving the master and Ducai, you must first find out what happened to all the crew members of Deep Space One.

Is it all captured by aliens? Could it be that everyone is hypnotized at the moment, and the aliens are watching the brainwave reactions of the human survivors with the same interest as a study pig?

This possibility seems to be the greatest at the moment. Otherwise, there is no way to reasonably explain why everyone can continue to play after the loss of contact between the spirit and the body, and this has lasted for at least 30 years. In the 30-year long game log, all the crew members of Deep Space One said that none of them had ever paused the game and got up to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.

Under normal conditions, he was suffocated to death by urine.

However, everyone has been stuck in the game for at least thirty years, and it may even last for more than 100 years due to the chaos of the logs. Such a long period of uninterrupted playtime only proves two possibilities:

Either that, everyone's bodies are thrown into the hibernation pod, and their brains are full of weak sensitivity sensor terminals. If this inference is true, who threw everyone into it? It's alien no doubt.

Either someone has built a supercomputer AI that is more advanced than the dream, and copied the human living consciousness of all the people of Deep Space One into the computer server as a whole. Everyone's body has long been broken down during the long voyage of drift, and what continues to be active now is only the binary data stream. If this assumption is true, then the computer artificial AI technology of this civilization has advanced to an unimaginable level. It has been upgraded from a rigid and rigid first-generation AI template to a responsible emotion and complex personality that can perfectly replicate human beings, and even the evil thoughts of confusion and suspicion and the positive belief of a glorious mission have all been perfectly simulated. It's just too avant-garde.

Regardless of which of the two things is true...... None of the returnees had to continue to obey Dr. Lu's commands.

Both of these possibilities lead to a common conclusion: Deep Space One's mission has come to an end.

It's not completion, it's not failure, it's forced to end by a strong external force.

After at least 30 years of waiting, no one is a fool who can participate in the world's multi-national elite talents who can participate in the Deep Space 1 exploration mission. You've already guessed a lot of things.

That is what Dr. Lu called "you don't have enough authority and don't know about it for the time being...... You haven't decrypted it, can't we guess? It's ridiculous!

And so the mood spread. To be precise, such sentiments have been spreading for decades. The Lin Jiangwen accident led to the "protest" caused by the compulsory quarantine plan in the second district, of course, Dr. Lu called this a "rebellion", but in fact this was just a fuse. The seeds of chaos, distrust, clarity, collegial voting, and distributed collective wisdom have long been sown and are gradually maturing.

Now, the flower of chaos has finally bloomed.

Dr. Lu sighed, knowing that he was no longer able to suppress it. If it is in the normal work of Deep Space One, he has the undisputed supreme authority, and the execution of this authority depends on the internal service of the system to achieve, that is, Deep Space One has a number of most basic violent law enforcement units. Those in charge of the highest authority have the right to use violent units to forcibly maintain the order of militarized management. However, in the context of the historical game, he loses this weapon of violence.

Now that the tide is over, he said: "In view of the current irreversible catastrophic situation, I will activate the Law of Last Protection, and I will decipher the truths that should not be decrypted for everyone." Rebels, you will regret knowing the truth. I would like to stress once again that the exploration mission of Deep Space 1 has not yet been completed and has not yet failed completely, and it is only one last step that we can achieve the ultimate mission entrusted to us by the entire civilization of the earth. However, once the rebellion breaks out, after the content that should not be declassified is declassified, this last step is likely to never be taken. Therefore, I give you one last chance to choose, and I solemnly make one last request to you: please maintain the utmost calmness and restraint, and in order to preserve the flame of human civilization, please put aside all doubts and suspicions, obey orders, and do not force me to show the last hole cards. Now, vote! Your vote will determine our survival or destruction. ”

Dozens of crew members were silent for a long time.

The final vote, though heavy and sluggish, began inexorably.

Although there are many people who waver in their will, and some people tend to believe Dr. Lu's claims, Dr. Lu's deeds are close to the cursed prophetic speeches of primitive wizards, which is obviously unscientific and contrary to the spirit of exploration that scientists have always had. After all, most of the crew members are scientific elites. After all, only 30% of the astronauts are only half-soldiers, not pure-blooded soldiers.

Voting began in a dull and depressive atmosphere and ended in a desperate situation.

That's right, the end of despair.

There were only 12 votes in favor of Dr. Lu, and the opposition had the absolute upper hand.

Strangely, as the results of the votes gradually surfaced, all the voters felt a sense of despair in their hearts. It stands to reason that those who cast a negative vote should be relieved, triumphant, excited, and rejoicing when they see the results of the vote coming in the direction they advocate. However, the joyful mood did not appear, not even the smug mood swings.

Why do you feel hopeless even if you have won the vote? All the crew members who voted against it were confused and upset.

But that doesn't stop them from continuing to cast an unwavering no.

The stubbornness and stubbornness of scientists make them ignore their emotional situation, and they do not care about the consideration of profit and misfortune, and they insist on going their own way, and what they ask for is only truth and truth. It is all too normal for scientists to be desperate for the sake of truth and truth.

Then Dr. Lu revealed the desperate truth that should not have been decrypted.

"Everyone present, including me, including Captain Lin Jiangwen who I plan to isolate and dispose of, including each and every one of you, we all died when we first jumped a few years ago......

The technology of Deep Space One is advanced, and the chat channel is a multimedia mode mixed with video conferencing and audio conferencing. You can hear boos from the audience.

"Although we were killed on our first expedition, we were lucky enough to have the first phase of our mission. Extraterrestrial life has taken over our remains and consciousness. Help us continue our mission like sleepwalking zombies. ”

"We have once again jumped back into our solar system in such an incredible mode, and it has to be said that our transition experiment has actually failed, and this time our remains and memory stocks have been severely damaged. That's why there is a serious mess in our memory, our concept of time, our logbook......"

"Although we have suffered a terrible trauma, although we have long since died, we should be grateful to a certain alien intelligent race, with his help, we have returned to the Earth's orbit, and we are only one last step away from the completion of the mission."

"We just have to hold on until the survivors on the ground gather their remaining resources, break through the ionosphere from the Antarctic or Arctic bases, rebuild the data link bridge with us, and return all the information we've accumulated, including this strange game, and our mission will be accomplished. The Earth base may not be immortal forever, but the Earth base is more than capable of bringing back the important samples we bring back, locked in a safe pod, sealed in the deepest part of the Antarctic ice sheet. Everyone is a connoisseur, and we all know that the oldest creatures hide beneath the ice cap, and no matter what the surface breaks, it is safe. A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, two or three thousand years from now, with these samples we can rebuild our civilization. ”

"Our name will go down in history forever, we almost became epic heroes, how proud we are, we can still live up to our mission after death, and we can save our race and civilization, we are only one step away from such a glorious future, how sad!"

The opponents began to whisper, and the feelings of doubt and remorse spread like ripples, and the spread spread quickly and through the audience, but not with much force. After all, Dr. Lu's empty talk sounded illogical and unconvincing. Scientists can unravel out at least ten or even more unscientific fallacies in it.

Therefore, everyone is a little skeptical.

Someone began to tentatively raise his hand: "I can't interrupt Dr. Lu's speech, and when you finish your speech, I think I have some questions to ask." ”

Dr. Lu smiled desperately and nodded very kindly and fiercely: "I have already finished speaking, it has been finished since the first sentence, and the rest is all nonsense." So feel free to ask questions, and I'll answer them one by one. ”

"I'm Dr. Sam, I'm from NASA, and I'd like to ask Dr. Lu, since we're all dead people controlled by aliens, how did you get all of the above? Are aliens in your memory? So I think we've got a paradox here. Since the aliens have told you all this, how can we be sure that it is true and not misleading? Unless one of the lucky ones did not die in either jump, his testimony would be worth hearing. Does such a witness exist? Even if such a lucky person exists, it is an isolated evidence. I ask Dr. Lu, where does your faith come from, and how do you dare to proclaim the truth of all of the above in such a conclusive manner? Are aliens giving you faith? ”

Dr. Sam's questioning was justified, and there was a low laugh from all over the room.
