Ronan was at the door of the metal passage, experiencing the blurred line between fantasy and reality, and on the retina, Nina's bust was presented: "Ronan explorer, in order to infiltrate the planetary defense circle, you need to make a short jump, please enter the jump capsule." ”

This plot, déjà vu, was tricked by Mo Han to experience it last time, and that's pretty much it.

Ronan walked into the open metal corridor. The light gradually dimmed, and at the end of the corridor, the operating station shimmered slightly, and through the circular window, you could see the stars in the depths of space.

Behind the console is a classic "high-back starship chair", and Ronan walks over and sits down. Through Nina's guidance, the equipment on the console was adjusted one by one, and the parameters were corrected, all of which was to help players adapt to the virtual environment and minimize the impact of reality.

The touch of the fingertips, the change of light, and the shift of angles, Ronan examines them with a critical eye, but it is difficult to find obvious flaws - this kind of realism has actually exceeded the limit of the "reality" facing the public, and it should be because of the spiritual guidance carried out before.

Everything was ready, the coordinates of the pointless adventure area were displayed in the window, and Nina's voice sounded again: "Please close your eyes, master your balance, resist the vertigo of short jumps, and the adventure begins!" ”

Ronan's body trembled slightly, and in front of the "jumping cabin", there was a strange vortex of aperture, the capsule started and accelerated, and when the inertial force pushed Ronan to the back of the chair, the sky turned and flipped around. Ronan instinctively closed his eyes, and the noise of electromagnetism and mechanical operation, as well as the sound of the alarm in the distance, was extremely clear.

Then there was another jolt, and the feeling of accelerated spinning suddenly disappeared, and the force of inertia that completely reversed shook him violently.

He was greeted by a cold stream of water, with a muffled "boom" sound, splashing water, and a deeper chill penetrating his bones.

There is no doubt that this was a rough "landing".

In the project "Frost River Waterway", from the moment of "falling", it means that the transformation from reality to virtual has been completely completed, and most of the participants' perceptions are generated by the stimulation of the nervous system by electrical signals.

Ronan's experience was more authentic than the vast majority of participants. Compared with the earlier tragic experience, this "truth" is still precious.

He opened his eyes and stood up from the current, surrounded by black holes, but faint flickering at the edge of his vision. The water below was knee-high, not slow, and bitterly cold, and there were broken ice floes on the water, which hurt slightly when they hit me.

At this time, the intercom on the collar vibrated slightly, and Nina's slightly hurried voice sounded, mixed with some chaotic background sounds, continuing to render the real environment:

"Ronan Explorer, you just experienced a failed short jump, and your suit is somewhat damaged, please check the relevant reports. For now, please scout the surrounding situation and send the relevant information back so that we can guide us on the next step. ”

Before the words could be spoken, a rustling murmur sounded over the intercom, and a strange voice spoke: "Welcome to the Frost River Bar, please go all the way down the waterway, we have prepared a warm wine for the guests." ”

Nina's voice cut in again: "Looks like there are other people here, you can do an unplanned adventure." Please note that according to the information sent back so far, the water body of the waterway is mixed with strange substances, and the water temperature has reached below freezing, so please move your body fully to avoid freezing.

From this moment on, the challenge of the Frost River waterway begins.

According to the rules of "Frost River Reality", the winner of the challenge will enter the Frost River Bar, receive prizes, and leave a game ID to enter the global rankings. I just don't know what the result of this "version of the able" will be?

Ronan followed the route indicated by the tactical helmet and went against the current.

The "Frost River Waterway" mission is to test the player's body's ability to adapt under the stimulation of a low-temperature environment. Although Ronan also tried once, he was defeated early and did not really understand the situation inside.

He only knew that the length of the waterway was very vague, some said 1,500 meters, some said 3,000 meters, and the real data of the Frost River Reality has never been released, but it is very clear that the waterway is divided into three sections, that is, three difficulties.

Before entering the waterway, about 500 meters, the test is whether the body can maintain its activity under the stimulation of the cold.

In the middle stage, 500 to 1,000 meters involves skills such as apnea diving and underwater identification;

As for the later stage, the length is inconclusive, and it involves very advanced skills, which is a test for professional extreme survivors.

The last time Ronan only lasted 100 meters, he couldn't stand it anymore and was kicked into protection mode, and the result was quite humiliating.

The overall trend of the Frost River waterway is downward, and as soon as the ten meters are passed, the depth of the ice water begins to gradually increase, and soon it will overflow the waist. Walking in the ice water is hard work, especially when the cold penetrates, paralyzing the perception and making it easy to get out of the way.

Ronan took a deep breath, when he walked the Frost River waterway, almost the moment the ice water was waistless, the whole lower body was unconscious, this time, it seemed to be the same.

It's not about physical fitness, but it's highly related to the sensitivity of the nervous system.

The only difference is that the last time Ronan came, he was still a little ignorant and very sensitive to stimuli, but he didn't know where the sensitivity was. Now he can clearly feel that it is the external stimulus, acting on the cold receptors of the skin, forming nerve impulses, which enter the central nervous system and are transmitted all the way to the hypothalamus thermoregulatory center.

His observation of his own physical state has entered a level that is difficult for ordinary people to take. It is still a little difficult to cut into the human cell scale with a sensing accuracy close to 1/10 mm, but combined with personal perception, the general outline can still be grasped.

However, the flow of information that needs to be processed is also greatly increased, and the fatigue quickly hits, and the drastic drop in body temperature also exacerbates the rate of energy loss.

Next, he was a soft-legged man who threw himself into the water, protected by a helmet so that he wouldn't choke. But across a layer of armor, the torrent was wrapped in ice, and it smashed over with a ding-dong bang, and the ice water overflowed into the torn combat uniform, and the chill was deep.

Excessive stimulation led to blood reflux, and according to the body's instincts, priority was given to protecting the internal organs, and his hands and feet were quickly paralyzed, making him lose his ability to move.

There was a thud on the ground, and a sharp giant ice smashed on his head, his helmet was torn, and the ice water seeped in, choking Ronan to die and live, and his eyes were blooming again.

His consciousness became a little blurry, and Nina seemed to be saying something in his ear, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

By the time consciousness regained clarity, Ronan had returned to the high-backed chair of Star Voyage before the "jump".

Naturally, the Frost River Waterway challenge failed.
