Chapter 439: Ancient Buildings (5)
Although it is not as bloody as Li You thought, it is not too much.
The turning point often happens at that moment, when Ellie's sixteenth birthday is when her dad invites a lot of people.
On the surface, it was to celebrate her birthday, but in fact, it was an opportunity to thank those who lent a helping hand. Among them, of course, there is also the fool that Ellie tutored, Oleg.
Authentically Europa, Ellie is different from him in this regard.
Ellie's father is Asian and her mother is Eastern European, so she is of mixed race. Although her mother was genetically strong and gave her blonde hair and blue eyes, she spoke in a way that was very similar to that of an Asian.
Li You came to a conclusion from this that most of her family education came from her father.
"Sixteen years old, you should have developed well by then, right?" Li You saw her looking at herself with that strange look, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. ”
"Indeed," Ellie suddenly stood up from her seat, and moved her hands and feet on the spot, "I was dressed beautifully, and then Oleg secretly drank some wine and wanted to have something with me. ”
Li You was taken aback, "Then didn't I guess right!" ”
"I didn't say you guessed wrong, I just didn't like you talking so much", she sat back in her chair after the activity, "It's good that my dad found out and stopped him, but he was wrong and told it in front of so many people." ”
Next, Oleg's father also withdrew his capital as usual, and the next day, Ellie's father went to the court to file for bankruptcy, and the glorious century-old industry came to naught.
Because of this incident, the two of them have a messy life every day.
The servants were gone, and the rest were old people, who regarded this place as if they were home, and were reluctant to leave. Among them, there is Rifle.
A year after going bankrupt, Laifu asked her father to get up for dinner, and knocked on the door for a long time without responding. After knocking on the door, he found that his parents were lying on the bed with pale faces, not breathing.
The two bottles of sleeping pills lying on the stall said it all.
"After that, I dropped out of school", Ellie's eyes were red when she said this, and when she was about to burst into tears, she quickly blinked, "but there are still many universities that have sent me admission letters, but I don't want to go out, and besides, they have left me enough money to live on, plus the money I earn from helping with the program, and my life is good." ”
"Have you been addicted to the unreal online world ever since?" Li You couldn't help asking.
Hearing Li You ask this, Ellie was very surprised, and asked him how he did it, and she could guess so accurately every time.
"Because I remembered that when you were 12 years old, you stole money from the World Bank to buy VR."
Ellie snorted and laughed, and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right, I was short on money at the time, so I thought about borrowing some money to spend it first." When I think of VR at that time, I really don't think it's low. ”
"Yes, when I heard it, it was just a concept. In my time, there was no such thing. ”
Hearing Li You say this, Ellie suddenly became serious, "What did you just say?" ”
"When I said I heard the word, it was still a conceptual ......"
"Not that."
"Uh...... Not yet in my time? ”
"Yes!" Ellie hurriedly got up from her chair, "When virtual reality first came into people's field of vision, it was in 1987, and it took more than 50 years before it became popular, but it was also high-end technology. So what era are you? ”
Li You didn't expect her to react so much, and hurriedly said: "My era was 2012, and my mobile phone was still a marquee ......at that time."
"I see, no wonder you can't see through virtual reality."
Ellie's words were unclear, and Li You pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out what she wanted to say.
After learning this, Ellie began to explain to him that the current VR technology uses brain-computer interfaces and connects to computers, saving a lot of steps.
"Look, this is the thing." Ellie brushed her hair open, showed her ears, pointed to an object implanted under her skin and said, "This is it, it's addictive if you play too much." ”
Li You frowned and said, "You said, you entered the vegetative state before, will it have anything to do with it?" ”
After being reminded by Li You, Ellie's memories before she fell into a coma were vaguely awakened.
She clearly remembered that she was about to play a game before going to bed that day, and then the screen shifted to Li You's revision of the timeline.
"In this way, it seems to have something to do with the brain-computer interface."
After she lowered her head and muttered for a moment, she shook her head and said to Li You: "Forget it, what I wanted to say just now is not my business, but the reason why you have not been able to get rid of virtual reality since you came here!" ”
-------------------------------------
Practice makes perfect, and if you do something for a long time, you will lose your interest. At that time, I will start thinking rationally.
Why? What are the consequences of doing so? What kind of benefits will it give me?
As soon as a similar problem arises, most people will start to seek the truth, but most of the results will be useless.
Ellie's first encounter with virtual reality was easily free from the trap set by the maker, and the truth that seeing is believing was completely overturned by her.
From the first generation of products to the fact that she began to name devices in a mix of English and numbers, the VR technology she now uses is a product of the era when it was more realistic and brain-machine.
Getting rid of the cumbersomeness and bulkiness of traditional VR equipment, now only a mini processor the size of a cigarette case, plus a computer that can run programs, can achieve the effect of "Wonderland".
Fresh from a brain-computer transplant, she can't wait to enter the virtual world. It's amazing at first, because every frame is realistic.
But as time goes on, a sense of boredom, numbness, and uniformity sets in.
As a sensational red hat hacker, the process of "finding the truth" immediately began. She traveled all over the mountains and rivers to find the loopholes left by the designers, and tried to peek into the programs behind the loopholes with ideology.
Although it didn't get what he wanted, he still didn't give up.
In order to achieve her goal, she turned out the quantum computer of the year, and after some modification, ran virtual reality software.
"It was after that day, it must have been after that day, that I started to fall into a coma, and then in a dream or somewhere, I saw you! Of course, you also confirmed that the place I entered was not a VR world. ”
Li You nodded, "But, what do you mean when you say that I haven't gotten rid of virtual reality?" ”
"That's because there's a lot of things in this scene that you're seeing now that aren't real. For example, the rat you're talking about, it's actually a blessing. ”
