"That's right! Digital Cat thinks that the background of this competition should have some hidden settings! It is estimated that it will most likely be opened when the number of remaining people reaches a certain range. ”

"Well, I think so, too, it should have something to do with those shelters everywhere!"

……

"Number of people remaining: 102029...... 101549…… 100921……”

"Reminder, the number of people left in the arena is close to the target. Reminder, the number of people left is close to the target! ”

The underground ruins where the Nightless Land is located, the countdown number on the main screen of the "God-making Project", is constantly approaching 100,000.

"Unlock the Skynet Restriction Interface!"

An old man of the yellow race, who has some gray hair, wears scientific glasses, and looks like a meticulously dressed professor.

After taking a breath, he solemnly ordered.

"Skynet restricts interface unlocking ......"

Immediately, a scientist replied after some manipulation.

"Whoa......

On the largest main screen in the center, a map of the Federation appeared with countless white dots representing virtual pods.

"Open the target virtual cabin, spirit link system!"

"The Target Spirit Link System is ...... Open"

Immediately afterwards, among the white dots on the main screen, red dots appeared one after another, and these red dots were all over the entire Federation, although it was not easy to directly distinguish the number, but it was obviously at the level of 100,000.

“100239！”

In fact, judging from the number in the upper left corner of the picture that is the same as the number of people remaining, it is clear that the meaning is obvious.

"Constructing a Spiritual Link Network!"

The old man who looked like a professor was obviously a little excited at this time.

"The ...... in the Construction of Spiritual Link Network"

Above the home screen, between all the scattered red dots.

Straight lines begin to extend and link with each other in the form of a network.

"Tick, tick, tick......"

However, just when all the red dots are completely connected.

Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded from above an instrument.

"What's going on?"

The NPC, the old man in research, immediately cast his gaze.

"There are unknown fluctuations in the Skynet interface, and there are unknown fluctuations in the Skynet interface...... The psychic network is affected, and the psychic network program is affected! ”

With a mechanical warning, the picture on the main screen changes dramatically.

The original network of red dots and lines began to expand continuously, and one blank dot after another was quickly lit up by the red line that had been extended, and in the blink of an eye, the number of red dots expanded more than tenfold, and it continued to increase.

And many of the rest of the screens are constantly flickering, swiping through the chaotic data stream.

"What's going on?"

In the officer quarters in the middle of the hall, a man with the rank of major general who should be the highest commander in this place asked questions through wireless headphones with a sharp face.

"There is an abnormality in Skynet...... The spirit link network is completely spreading to all virtual cabins! ”

Beside him, a relatively young scientific research NPC member replied with some sweat on his forehead.

"Get Marcus under control now!"

When the major general heard this, his face sank.

The first thing to do was to order the soldiers in the hall who were already loaded with guns and ammunition to immediately isolate a few clone Marcus, who looked a little confused.

"Can I turn off the Psychic Link system right now?"

The major general obviously still knew some technology, looked at the main screen, and asked with a somewhat heavy face.

On the screen, it was originally only a 100,000-level network, but it has become a super red network that covers the entire federal region, and it is dense and impossible to see clearly!

The stats in the upper left corner have become eight figures.

It means that the link has entered the virtual cabin of the network and reached the level of tens of millions!

"There's no way to cut it off!"

"The spirit link system is active at this time, and it is extended to all the virtual cabins, forming a spiritual force that is too large. If it is forcibly cut off, it will cause all participants in the competition to suffer mental damage, and even a large proportion of brain death! ”

"Even if you don't participate, as long as the people in the virtual cabin are still in the spiritual link network, they will be affected. That's more than 10 million ...... No, now there are more than fifty million of them! ”

The young researcher looked at the soaring numbers, and beads of sweat were already raining down on his forehead.

In order to enter the arena, players need to go through the virtual pod, otherwise, they will only be able to watch the "broadcast" from a third perspective.

And because in a game like "War Chronicles", the arena was originally a relatively popular way to play, so the virtual cabins of the entire Federation camp are hundreds of millions.

And because of the competition, all these virtual cabins have already been drilled into people.

It's not a hundred, it's not a thousand, it's not even a million, it's hundreds of millions!

Even if the proportion of mentally impaired people is not high, but in absolute terms, there will definitely be more than one million people, and there is a chance that the players who do not participate in the competition will still have a chance of brain death!

If it is because of the rebel attack, the factor of Resident Evil is just that.

But was this organized by the federal government and the military, because the experiment caused millions of injuries and even brain death?

Not to mention, these people trapped in the arena are all among the top players among the players, and many of them also have a lot of connections among the NPCs.

Even, by the beginning of the game, many players have the ability to influence NPC military leaders, or already have the rank of captain or colonel!

In this case, in any case, the mental network cannot be forcibly disconnected.

As for the fact that the player can be resurrected, in fact, because of entering the plot, this is automatically ignored in the eyes of NPCs.

"Then shut down Skynet, since it's interfered with by Skynet. So, shutting down Skynet should work, right? ”

At this time, standing not far from the side of the major general, a young man about twenty-five or six years old in a suit and leather shoes, with shiny hair, said loudly.

He is not from the military, but has been sent by the NPC federal government as an observer, ostensibly as a secretary of a high-ranking official, but in real as the third generation of a political family.

Speaking at this time, it is obvious that he wants to show his presence, which is the habit of most government officials.

"Turn off Skynet? Ha, how do you close? ”

When a middle-aged scientific researcher wearing glasses heard his words, his tone was obviously mocking.

"What do you mean?"

The young high-ranking secretary's expression was a little annoyed.

"Skynet is not the name of an intelligent brain, but an intelligent network area composed of countless terminals and intelligent brains. Theoretically, unless all terminals linked to Skynet are destroyed. Otherwise, you can't turn it off completely! ”

"Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the current number of tens of millions of virtual cabins is not something we can afford to shut down in a short period of time, not to mention that the consequences of shutting it down are no less than breaking the spiritual link."

"Skynet is a project of your government department, and you don't even know about this? Tsk......"

Middle-aged scientific research NPC, directly reply to him.

What about the secretary of a high-ranking official, and what about the three generations of a certain political family!

The headquarters of the federal military is centered on Stormwind City on the border, and the capital city in the rear where the government is located, but they have a tradition of not pleasing each other. ，

The most important thing is that Skynet is indeed something that belongs to the government department.

For the military, especially researchers, who value secrecy, they are not happy with this kind of open network.

Know that if something goes wrong, it's not only hard to solve, but it's also going to be a big problem.

However, the federal government, as well as those large corporations and conglomerates involved in the construction and post-construction of Skynet, have been pushing for it despite warnings.

And now, it is indeed a problem with Skynet, so naturally you will not be polite!

You, a government official, in our military's experimental base, don't just stand and watch, what kind of opinion do you have!
