048 Beginning and Ending
Long before the open beta, AUGUS headquarters teamed up with RECT, a major electronics manufacturer, to launch 10,000 new AmuSphere machines for the upcoming public beta SAO game.
This is the successor to the NERvGear designed by Higaken, and it is designed to be a helmet protector for boxers, and it is equipped with a crown device with four rings side by side, which strengthens the protection system and safety mechanism of NERvGear, and improves the electromagnetic pulse.
The RECT company was originally a business of the Yuuki family, but after the death of Asuna's father and brother, Asuna became the sole legal heir.
Under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, other senior executives of the company will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity, and it is inevitable to stage a drama of 'fighting for power and bullying orphan girls'.
It's a pity that the Ito family also got involved, and took full charge of Asuna, became the board of directors of RECT, and suppressed all the chaos in an instant.
Then, the company announced that AUGUS had joined forces to bring 10,000 new AmuSphere machines to the market in a centralized production facility.
For the sake of promotion, 10,000 public beta accounts of SAO games will also be bundled with machines.
As a result, these new machines were snapped up by game enthusiasts in less than a day as soon as they were launched......
……
AUGUS corporate headquarters, SAO CNC center on the fifth basement floor.
Yi Tiancheng stood in front of the projection screen, looking at the dense data information and film and television images, and the expression on his face looked very happy.
He specially commissioned Higagen to replace the original NERvGear game login machine with the new AmuSphere machine, which naturally will not be untargeted.
In this new machine, there are built-in physiological state scanning and detection instruments and programs, which can collect information such as players' real appearance, body, physiological function and mental index in an all-round way when they start to create characters after entering the game, and then summarize all of them to the main server.
And what Yi Tiancheng is doing now is to use this information to find out all the practitioners who are hidden in it.
"It's incredible! Are these guys all Supermen?! The physical fitness and mental index are too perverted!! Sitting in front of the console, Higajian finally couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and danced and screamed.
Not only Higajian, but also Akihiko Kayaba, who was standing beside Yi Tiancheng, had an unbelievable surprise on his ascetic face, which had always been emotionally lacking.
This is also a matter of course, they are all pure scientific researchers, and they still have a very clear understanding of the possibilities of human beings, but the existence of the testers and the situation exposed undoubtedly broke their cognition, and even exceeded their imagination.
Yi Tiancheng did not explain anything to them.
At this time, he was like a deadly poisonous spider, quietly waiting for all the trialists to fall into the heavenly web he had compiled.
No matter how secretive and perfect the other trialists lurked, as long as they entered the SAO game, their login address would be completely exposed in front of Yi Tiancheng's eyes.
In addition to himself and his son, the other eighteen surviving trialists have only gone through the baptism of the first round of trials.
Even if there are a few smart people who have noticed the abnormality from AUGUS's previous series of operations beyond the plot, they can't determine what the problem is.
After all, there is no wise man like 'Chu Xuan' in reality, and even the smartest trialists only have the wisdom of mortals.
The lack of intelligence, the lack of experience, and the qualitative thinking will completely confuse their eyes.
Trial Task 1 requires the Trialist to enter SAO and become a gamer, and if the mission fails, it will be directly erased, and under such a rigid requirement, they simply dare not try the consequences of not entering the game.
And once in the game, it's up to them to choose.
Unlike in the original game, the game was only after a period of time before Kizuhiko Kayaba canceled the game exit function and turned it into a game of death.
This time, the SAO game is a mental cage from the very beginning, and once the player enters it, it is impossible for the player to exit on their own.
The reason why this is a cage and not a death game is because of Higajian's stubbornness.
He is not a person like Akihiko Kayaba and Yi Tiancheng, who can disregard life for personal gain, and the reason why he came to help was to avoid the mass death of the player.
As early as when he knew about Akihiko Kayaba's plan, he didn't think about announcing all this, but he knew very well that even if he could end Akihiko Kayaba's plan this time, he wouldn't be able to stop it next time.
Because, Kayaba Jinghiko has digitized his memories and personality and stored them in an unknown cyberspace.
This also means that if Akihiko Kayaba dies in reality, the other one will also live in the online world and continue to realize his obsession.
Virtual games are already the outlet of the new era, and they are the general trend of the development of the times, and no one can stop this wave.
Therefore, Higajian couldn't stop Akihiko Kayaba at all, he was too clear about this senior's ability and determination.
In order to avoid a worse situation, Higaken can only wholeheartedly join in and help Yi Tiancheng and Akihiko Kayaba realize their demands, while minimizing the death toll as much as possible.
Thanks to his efforts, the current SAO game is no longer a death game, and if the player dies in the game, then the consciousness will automatically leave the game and return to the body in the real world.
However, if someone attempts to forcibly shut down the AmuSphere machine from the outside, the player will be brain dead.
And the players imprisoned in the game don't know this, as long as Akihiko Kayaba intimidates them according to the script, they will still be like guinea pigs, forced to live in the game world, layer by layer of strategy games, until all of them die, or the strategy is successful.
For Yi Tiancheng, this is all inconsequential, because both Kayaba Jinghiko and Higaken are just props in his hands, indispensable props to realize his plan.
On the one hand, he has to find his peers hidden among the 10,000 players and then execute them at the beginning of the game to prevent them from adding extra variables to himself.
After all, the degree of completion of the second trial task depends on the result of the collective referendum of the trialists, and if you only attack the 25th floor of the guaranteed level, and end the trial because of the minority obeying the majority, it will undoubtedly greatly lower the final evaluation.
On the other hand, he didn't have the patience to delay too long in the second round of trials.
The time of the real world and the Reiko space is the same, but the trial world is not the same as the first two.
Take the world of "School Apocalypse" as an example,Yi Tiancheng experienced a span of nearly eight hours in it,The real world has only passed less than two hours,The time difference between the two is about 4 to 1。
In the world of "Sword Art Online" this time, although the system also does not give a specific time ratio, as Yi Tiancheng, who has come over, he can naturally roughly calculate the time difference ratio.
The key factor that determines the time difference is the world of the trial and the difficulty factor, the difficulty coefficient of this trial is E~C specifications, and the approximate time difference ratio will not exceed 30 to 1 at the maximum.
In the original game, it took 10,000 players two years to reach the 75th floor, and finally the protagonist Kiritto duel with Akihiko Kayaba, who incarnated as Heathcliff, won the game in advance.
This also means that even if the time difference ratio is the highest, by the time the game strategy is over, the real world will have passed for two or three months.
For such a long time, if it is a substitute who logs in as a spirit, it is fine, but if it is a player who infiltrates with consciousness, the body in reality will have already rotted.
Of course, even if the physical death in reality does not mean that these players will die, but the only way left for them to survive is to transform into spirits and become a substitute.
Although Yi Tiancheng was already a substitute, he couldn't accept that he would be delayed for so long in the second trial.
How to solve this problem, the answer is self-evident.
This trial mission is mainly carried out in the SAO game world, and since it is a virtual online game, then this time difference ratio is also controllable.
In the original Alicization chapter after the ninth volume of "Sword Art Online", the UW world, which was the stage of the game, had an extreme acceleration of five million times, and Kirito and Asuna, who were tied up in the game, experienced more than two hundred years in it, and only ten minutes were spent in the real world.
Yi Tiancheng didn't need the extreme value of five million times, but he also wanted to compress the game time span to the lowest point as much as possible, which is why he found Higajian at all costs and let him participate in it.
He was confident that Biggar would be able to meet his demands, because the person in charge of the development of the Alicization project was none other than Biggar.
Taking advantage of the Ito family's power and using his foresight of the plot, he forced Akihiko Kayaba to compromise and prompted Ken Higa to intervene, thus transforming SAO into a game that suits his wishes......
Then, taking advantage of the Yuuki family's accident, he moved into the Yuuki family property RECT company and developed and launched a new type of AmuSphere machine......
When everything is in place, the SAO game open beta will be officially opened, and all the lurking trialists will be found in one fell swoop, and they will be wiped out without realizing it while they are still imprisoned in the game......
In the end, I entered the game by using the back door left in advance and began to attack the 100th floor......
This is all the layout of Yi Tiancheng.
And now, it has successfully reached the last step.
Within an hour and a half of the game's opening, nine thousand one hundred and forty-four people had already entered the game and were completely trapped in it, including eighteen other trialists, and one of them was locked to the coordinates.
There was no need to wait any longer, Yi Tiancheng and Akihiko Kayaba began their own actions.
Akihiko Kayaba began to kick off the drama......
Yi Tiancheng set out to deliver the finale to the trialists......
