Delan walked into room number 018, the interior maintained the style of the previous user, it was a primitive cave in the Stone Age style, the floor was covered with tiger skins, and there was only one stool in the room, the bones were tied into an X, and a stack of banana leaves was laid out, which was the stool. On the earthy mud wall, the numbers from one to nine are drawn like knotted ropes.

To connect to the virtual world, just enter the corresponding numeric number. Sometimes there will be idle people who will try the numbers there, one by one, and visit those mysterious worlds that they don't know about.

In the early days, this behavior was as popular as radio dating, and those who shuttled through various virtual worlds and didn't know where they would be on every day called themselves "traveling mages". It's a pity that such people flooded later, causing a lot of trouble for some creators who made private virtual worlds.

In order to solve the privacy problem, the entire virtual reality network stipulates a unified protocol, so that private spaces must have identity verification and key two-factor authentication to enter.

However, in order to access the secret strongholds of Utopia, it is not enough to have authentication and keys, and in order to avoid being accidentally discovered the entrance, these strongholds must be accessed through a special network backdoor.

For example, in the current case, Delan first set the VR space in the style of a sightseeing elevator, and then pressed the button on the second floor 9 times.

The elevator then began to descend slowly, and the VR seat simulated a slight shaking sensation, and Delan suddenly felt as if he was slightly weightless. The scenery of the elevator exterior window began to gradually rise, and the elevator elevator control showed that the current floor came to minus one and minus two, but it still did not stop when it came here, and the key board of the elevator was reversed in a circle, starting from minus two, and continuing down, minus three...... Minus 4......

At this time, the scene outside the elevator has broken through the underground garage and began to enter the depths of the ground, and some empty echoes began to echo around, and occasionally there were strange whispers, and there was a small window at the exit of the elevator to see the outdoors, and the scene outside was worse.

It was as if the entire elevator had plunged all its way into hell, first in a layer of dirt and then into a world of flames, with all sorts of strange creatures, horns, tails, and demonic shapes. Continuing down, it became a deep cold hell again, and the cold wind froze the windows, so that people could only see the white expanse. Until you reach the minus 18th floor, the whole elevator seems to enter the universe at once, and there is a deep darkness outside the window, and there seem to be dots of lights the size of rice grains in the distance.

At this time, the interior decoration of the entire elevator has also changed, becoming the interior of a milky white space capsule, and Delan has handwritten his code name and the code of the virtual world on the touch screen. Then the capsule was opened, and the whole person was dizzy with a huge suction force outside the hatch.

Delan has a very bad impression of the author of this back door, what are you doing with all these bells and whistles? Especially the last way to enter Electrode City, with its high-speed rotation and swinging, reminded him of his favorite playground project: the big pendulum.

Diaverum shared the visual system of Delan VR glasses throughout the whole process, so I also had a good experience of being sucked out of the space capsule. He came up with an even more brilliant analogy: being sucked into a siphon toilet. So Delan was even more disgusted and couldn't help retching.

Of course, in fact, he is just mentally uncomfortable, and his mind is a little dizzy, after all, in reality, his body is still lying in the VR seat.

The distorted vision quickly overloaded, and the VR glasses seemed to freeze, as if the picture was stuck on a pile of mosaic fragments. Usually at this time, it is almost time to turn off the power and restart the glasses.

But Diaverum soon found that under the driver's screen, the background began to continuously transmit, downloading some new data. The picture of the crash turned out to be just a cover-up. Diaverum cut off the visual signal of VR and began to use purely the "field of view" of the data world that he could perceive as an AI, interacting with the data monitor.

At the data level, the usual green strings come and go like traffic, and at this moment, a completely different blue character floats in front of Drew's eyes.

It's a key.

Then, after receiving the key, Dirui was quickly dragged into a high-speed network channel and came to an island formed by the convergence of blue characters in the vast green ocean. The isolated island was like a lighthouse, slowly and orderly spreading a series of signals. Dre can only read one of the signals it makes: Welcome to Electrode City, Creator: TSL, Administrator: Socrates.

It seems that it has successfully entered Electrode City. As soon as he thought so, Delan's VR glasses also returned to normal, and Derui quickly got out of this weird digital perspective and reconnected the video signal of the VR glasses.

To be honest, this is also the first time Delan has come to Electrode City. Compared with other mature and vast virtual worlds, Electrode City everywhere reveals a style of "under construction" and "under repair". The cranes in the distance, the scattered decoration shelves on the roadside, and the tin chimneys with blue smoke are constantly shaking, and it looks very unstable at first glance, as if it will explode at any time. There are high walls here, but the walls are so thick that they seem to have stood for thousands of years, which is actually a manifestation of the highly developed firewall of Electrode City.

After entering the city, Delan restrained a lot, remained silent all the way, and became cautious. Dre is a little strange, there are not a few people on the street, but there are definitely not many of them, the strange thing is the atmosphere, although there are people, but everyone is silent, and the whole street seems deserted - because it is so quiet.

Dre couldn't help but quietly ask, "What the hell is going on here?" Are these people utopian members? ”

He remembered Fontaine's secret force, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the secret passage that secretly connected to the industrial zone Steel City, and the mechanical industry master "Blacksmith" in the Steel City, secretly training dozens of AI mechanics.

Delan shook his head: "These are all AI, neutral AI, Electrode City is an AI haven scattered in the dark. Some AIs that have been deprived of their certification numbers because of their runaway behavior, highly intelligent AIs whose anthropomorphism has quietly exceeded 50%, and some AIs that have unexpectedly awakened their own will, will eventually find this place regardless of the channel. Theoretically, there are no half-people here, usually only members of the utopia who have undergone semi-mechanized transformations. ”

Hearing him say that, Dre also became nervous.

This means that they are now black. Although I don't know how Delan hid from Utopia's monitoring system, Dere can only be sure that Delan has definitely not carried out semi-mechanized transformation. Because he didn't dare, he had told Dre about the brain-computer interface, so he wouldn't take the slightest risk in this matter.
