Chapter 13: Painting a Thousand Generations#
Qi Min wants to find the brain-like user called "Painting Qianshi", which is actually very simple.
She connected to the brain-like body as a constructor, and after her consciousness entered the virtual world, she appeared in the scientific research department of the brain-like company when she was twenty-eight years old.
In reality, the research department of the brain-like company is divided into two parts, namely the Beijing branch and the St. Petersburg branch, but in the brain-like body, because there is no need to consider the geographical location, the two parts are integrated. The virtual building of the Ministry of Science is a rare object in the brain-like body that clearly violates the laws of physics, and the space in which it is located also has paradoxes.
Looking up from the Beijing district, the building of the Brain-like Research Department floats high in the air, looking like a B2 stealth bomber. However, the same view can be seen from the St. Petersburg district, or any other district. This also means that the mapping relationship between the near-earth area and the high altitude of the brain-like virtual world is not unique, and the points with the same coordinates on the ground in each area correspond to the same high altitude, and the scientific research department is the only building in the high sky.
Of course, from the ground you can only see the scientific research department high in the sky, and there is no way to actually get there. This is not only designed for administrative reasons, but also to protect the safety of ordinary players. There are a large number of constructors with the authority to modify the brain-like scene in the building of the scientific research department of the brain-like company, and their job is to "think" the scenes and objects in the virtual world out of thin air. This makes the area where the Department of Scientific Research building is located very unstable and potentially dangerous. Especially due to the randomness and uncontrollability of consciousness itself, the slightest carelessness may lead to others or oneself being accidentally modified - this is also the reason why Qi Min very much does not recommend her daughter Mimi to enter the brain-like body.
Since the brain-like body originally came from Mimi's imagination, she has full authority in the brain-like body. Theoretically, as long as she knows the method, she can see any corner of the brain-like body, view the archives and history of any person, and modify the data of anyone, any object, any scene. More precisely, the brain-like virtual world itself is an expansion of a conscious scene when Mimi was three years old. It was created as an ownerless data connector, but was taken over and assimilated by her consciousness when the little girl first accessed it. When others enter the brain-like body, it is equivalent to entering the brain connected to Mimi. As a result, when Mimi returns to the brain-like body, her own mental activity has the highest priority, which is quite dangerous for everyone else in the brain-like body.
And the next highest priority is the architect of the brain-like company. Moreover, when the constructor ascends to the brain-like body, it is equivalent to the whole person's consciousness completely entering the brain-like body, so the resolution of thinking activities is not limited by frequency.
However, since each person's brain is somewhat different, the local structure of the neurons in the brain-like body must be different from that of the constructors who enter it. Therefore, the longer the constructor's consciousness stays in the brain-like body, the greater the degree of assimilation by the brain-like body, and the more serious the sequelae caused by not adapting to the original brain structure after coming out (which is why Mimi has no sequelae after entering the brain-like body for the first time - the brain-like body itself is assimilated by her, and what she gets by reverse assimilation is still herself). However, this time, Qi Min entered the area of the Ministry of Scientific Research in his own image, just to check the archives of Hui Qianshi 2184, and he would not stay for a long time.
In fact, it is not necessary to view the archives in the area of the research department building - obviously, the physics of the brain-like virtual world itself is fictional, and it has no effect on retrieving data when it is not in a specific area. However, since the last time Qi Min withdrew from the brain-like body as a constructor, he was in the scientific research department, so he logged in as a constructor again and would still be in the same place.
She pulls up the search screen and checks the profile of the player with ID ending in 2184 and the name "Eri Senshi", which shows that she is now online, and her position is still in an alley somewhere southeast of the outer ring of the Old City.
After remembering clearly, Qi Min withdrew from the status of a constructor and appeared on the top of a tall building in the inner circle of the old city in the image of the autumn harvest.
——
Autumn Harvest lowered the rope and came down from the roof.
In fact, this operation alone is something that many players don't dare to do. The buildings of the old town were conceived by a three-year-old girl, and the surface is very smooth, with no footholds, except for a fence built behind the roof. To climb to the top of the building, you need to throw the hook of the rope up and pull the fence, and then drive it up by the motor, and the same is true for coming down.
It's just that for example, the veteran players of the autumn harvest don't need a motor to go downstairs, but directly use their feet to pedal the wall with the elastic rope, and slide down one by one. This skill was practiced during military training when she was a child.
After descending to the ground, Autumn Harvest loosened the hook and put away the rope, and rushed to find the location where Echiyo was located before.
And in that dimly lit alley, Autumn Harvest saw a blonde woman in a gray starter suit lying in a corner, seemingly asleep.
This is strange because not many people sleep in brain-like bodies. In fact, sleeping in a brain-like body is no different from in reality, but people in a brain-like body hardly feel physiological fatigue, and even if they can feel tired, it is due to the spillover signal from the real-world body when the consciousness oscillates.
The brain-like company has to charge each ordinary player who goes online, although the cost of simply going online is not high, but the average person will not spend money in vain when he sleeps in the brain-like body.
But since the person you are looking for is sleeping, the autumn harvest is waiting next to you. The density of zombies in the outer circle is low, so you don't have to worry about being seriously injured by the zombies gathered while falling asleep.
While waiting, Qi Min entered the identity of the constructor again, jumped back to the area of the scientific research department, and checked the parasitic 3096. Finding out that the parasitic life was not online, she gave up the idea of notifying Eri Senshi to come over and watch it together before he woke up.
Returning to the identity of the autumn harvest, she saw that Hui Qianshi turned over, and it seemed that she was indeed sleeping very dead.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Qiu Harvest squatted down and patted the blonde woman on the shoulder. Echishi sat up suddenly, but it was a somewhat hoarse young male voice: "What? What's wrong? ”
"Wow......" Autumn Harvest couldn't help frowning, stood up and took a step back, "Paint a thousand years, right?" ”
"Yes, yes." The appearance of Echiyo is that of a petite woman with blond hair, but the voice is clearly a man, "What's wrong?" Oh...... Your name is Autumn Harvest...... Autumn harvest is still a celebrity in the old city......"
Listening to his uncertain tone, it seems that he is not familiar with the player ecology of the old city. However, he is currently ranked first in the standings, and a player who is not familiar with the old city has swiped the first place, which is a bit strange to think about.
"It's not particularly famous." Qiu Harvest crossed his arms and said, "You are at the top of the list now." ”
"Do you have something to do with me?" Echiyo asked.
"Well, I'd like to see the goods." Autumn Harvest tentatively.
Instead of answering directly, he took out a business card from the pocket of his tracksuit jacket, but instead of handing it to Autumn Harvest right away, he said, "I have to check your physical address first." ”
Autumn Harvest didn't expect it to be like this, squinted his eyes and asked, "Why?" ”
Echiyo didn't have any special expression, but stated: "This is the rule. ”
"So how do you verify that my physical address is true?" Autumn Harvest asked.
"I'll have a way to verify it at home." Echiyo just said.
In this way, most of the personal information sold on the black market is true, but I don't know what percentage of this personal information can cover. In fact, before the advent of the era of brain-computer interaction, the personal information of the vast majority of people has been sold by BAT and mobile communication providers, and the people in the brain-like black market may be the original team of the outsourcing companies that bought user information. But it's a bit scary that they still have a way to update it.
"Forget it, I don't think you have what I want." Autumn Harvest said deliberately.
"Well, see you later." Echiyo nodded.
However, Qiu Harvest then asked, "Echishi, you just started working on the old city project, right?" ”
Although he speaks Mandarin with a northern accent, he didn't know about the autumn harvest when he brushed the standings in the old city, and it is likely that he was just hired by a black market merchant to brush up his points, and he has not communicated extensively with local resident players.
Echishi raised his head slightly, and looked at the autumn harvest with beautiful azure eyes. His image looks like he spent a lot of money to create, but he is dressed like a poor man, and he doesn't even have a flower rope to tie his hair.
"Well, I just went back to Beijing last week." Echiyo replied.
