Chapter 49: STEM is Preparing to Install Updates......
Updated? Wait, the STEM system actually ...... Updated?
Not only was Kidman stunned, feeling a shivering chill spread throughout his heart, but even the other people in a circle next to him gasped.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
No one speaks, as if they have lost the function of speech, or have lost the organ of speech.
Even their minds froze for a while, and it felt as if their brains were stagnant and their thoughts were blank, and they couldn't turn around at all.
Everyone felt a shudder of fear, and the source of this fear was the window information displayed on the monitor, and the percentage that was steadily rising-
First it was 5%, then it went up to 10%, then it was 15%, then it was 15%...... 20%β¦β¦ 30%β¦β¦
And the progress bar is steadily rising, and there is no trend of any card reading bar.
So, how is this possible?! This is a STEM virtual system, not an indos operating system, is it possible that it will automatically update the latest version of the Internet?
It doesn't have a direct connection to any network at all! Otherwise, I'm afraid that the virus would have broken through the restrictions on its own and automatically uploaded to the network, so there is no need for them to spread it after downloading it......
That's too much, and it's completely unnecessary.
What's more, the most important thing is that except for this STEM here, there is no relevant technical equipment in other places in this world, and even the Mobius organization itself has not been able to fully grasp the key technology.
There was even a need for tinkering on the prototype and some modifications to get the current version of the machine.
Even the hardware equipment is like this, not to mention the software code and the like, and the technical staff of the Mobius Organization also dare not make drastic changes in this regard, even the minor improvements such as optimizing the program code.
It is often necessary to make all kinds of backups, and a group of technical experts are also facing a small problem, and even the person in charge is sweating, for fear that something will happen if it is slightly changed.
After all, about this machine, at present, with their technology, it is still somewhat difficult to copy. If you want to make a second one, it doesn't mean that you can't do it, and the previous technology accumulation is already very complete......
The only thing is that TM's stunned is missing the last and most critical step.
So until now, the new machine is actually still a prototype modification, and the code used in the system version has always been the program that Ruben originally coded, and it has not changed much, at most it has optimized some details.
So! Where the hell did this new, damn new version of the STEM system come from?!
Once it's installed, what kind of terrible changes will happen next?!
ββ¦β¦β

The air of silence and death pervaded, and the atmosphere of uneasiness slowly spread.
Everyone is not lacking in imagination, even if they were rigorous scientists before, after experiencing the unscientific virus invasion before, they have begun to shake their three views.
After all, there is no way to deny reality, let alone explain it with any powerful scientific theory, because it has brutally destroyed the natural laws of the material world as we know them from the very beginning.
You know, that virus has now spread all over the Internet and has affected most of human society.
The reason why most of human society is because not everyone is online and knows how to use smart devices. Not to mention those old people who really can't keep up with the times, just talk about the African continent -
I don't know how many billions of people are still fighting every day for the tribe, for the water, for the prey, for the mate......
And so on and so forth, and running happily on the vast expanse of the earth, without knowing what was going on.
They are naturally part of human society as a whole, but they are unaffected.
It's just that with the passage of time, in the end, there is no one who can find the next substitute for the dead ghosts, and they may choose to flock to the land with red eyes, ready to send warmth to those primitive people.
Of course, only a very small number of people are probably able to do so, and the rest of the people, no matter how ruthless they are, are probably powerless, and the buffer time of one week is also a limit.
So basically, the current human society can be said to be spared, even if countries do their best to block it, it will have no effect.
Because of all sorts of enforcement issues like β after all, even the ranks of law enforcement and violent agencies have people who have contracted the virus and are spreading it β and the people who fight crime are themselves committing crimes, so the more they are blocked, the worse it gets.
After all, strictly speaking, the medium of the spread of the virus is the fear of human beings, and the resistance that prevents human beings from saving themselves is also the fear of human beings themselves, as well as the evil that erupts in the face of disaster.
As the middle-aged man before had predicted, after the virus spread, it was no longer out of control.
Especially after the spread of rumors of additional conditions or number restrictions, there were still some hopeful situations that could be controlled, but they turned out to be completely out of control in an instant.
Now these people here can be said to be the first carriers of the virus, and they are the ones who spread the virus.
They can be said to have escaped from that curse, but what the final result will be is also uncertain, and the worldview is indeed a great blow.
As for what is happening in the STEM system now, it has further shaken their worldview -
Sure enough! This forbidden technology is simply not an area that humans should be exposed to!
Human consciousness and spirit may have properties that transcend the rules of physics, and delving too deeply into this aspect will lead to disaster...... Or is it now the world of consciousness that has collapsed, and the distorted spiritual frequencies are linked to some supernatural evil existence in the universe?
In order to protect their minds, they must retreat into certain normal, natural thoughts.
It's just that, despite everyone's pale faces and frightened hearts, no one has done anything real to stop what is happening.
Maybe it's the frozen mind, maybe it's the excessive fear and brain supplement that have made them lose their ability to act, but more likely it is some kind of abomination that has a strong effect on their overly fearful and overly sensitive minds at the moment.
I didn't dare to take action, and I didn't want to take action, I just watched stunned.
It seems that even the idea of "stepping forward to stop" and the corresponding action are blocked by the brain and body, and I can't even think of it.
Everyone gathered in a circle, as if they were in a state of flux, their eyes glazed and distracted, staring at a monitor.
It's just that what happened here was quickly noticed by the people monitoring outside.

Not far away in the coupling tank.
Sebastian slowly opened her eyes, then groaned in a headache. Holding his forehead, he struggled to sit up, gritting his teeth and looking around.
"But, damn it...... Mylar ...... Lily ...... "Familiar and unfamiliar scenes come into view, and the bright lights are a little harsh.
He blinked several times in succession, tears flowed out, and his dry eyes were relieved, but his vision was a little blurry because of it.
But it was precisely because of this that he suddenly felt as if he had vaguely seen some strange scenery, and he couldn't believe his eyes for a while.
The surrounding scene seems to be superimposed with a layer of transparent and illusory scenery, high-tech facilities and places, which seem to overlap with the halls of a gloomy and dilapidated building......
The two contrasting styles are superimposed, and the scene is constantly changing, constantly alternating between them.
The dilapidated scene seemed to be a cylindrical hall, surrounded by high walls covered with vines and moss, but it was still evident that they were thick and solid alloy walls.
And there is an objective existence, which makes it absolutely impossible to ignore the real prototype of the past, right in front of you.
That's right, it's the hall of this experimental site where Sebastian is now! This cylindrical metal space is filled with a variety of high-tech facilities!
It's as if Sebastian is in a blur, seeing a vision of the future after the current place has been ruined and abandoned for at least a few years?
Two different planes, different worlds overlapping?
And in the illusory and unreal sense of transparency and bizarre light formed by the overlap of these two scenes, there are also things that are not contained in the real source-
It seemed to have a vague humanoid form, and it was standing quietly at the junction at the moment, as if it was silently observing something.
With that vague humanoid silhouette that is also too illusory to look like a reality, as a meeting point between two different scenes, the surrounding space seems to be horribly distorted......
Sebastian has every reason to believe that perhaps those false illusions that overlap with the real world are projected from this "source".
And about this illusion, he also vaguely remembers, it seems that he has seen it once before when he was still in the STEM world!
It's just that that this thing was covered in radiant light, and it didn't even have a human form.
This time, however, the object has a vague human form, and it no longer glows, but appears illusory and transparent, detached and unreal.
Obviously, there is no necessary connection between them, or even any similarity at all, but there is no reason - Sebastian feels that the illusions he has seen twice actually point to the same thing or existence.
It's just that he still subconsciously feels that this is still his hallucination, just like a nurse, so he doesn't think it's a real thing......
Because he subconsciously denied the possibility that something was hovering around the plane, distorting the laws of nature and directing the world in a grotesque and unfamiliar unknown direction
After all, if this is the case, its existence is definitely more terrifying and creepy than the illusion in front of you.
"Damn...... These people ...... What are you doing? Didn't Myra say she was going to destroy the entire MΓΆbius organization? How are they still alive? β
Sebastian shook her head vigorously and struggled to climb out of the coupling tank, wiping the tears from her eyes by the way.
The vision returned to clear, and he realized that the scene around him was completely normal, so he was even more sure that what had just happened was his hallucination.
"Hey!! What are you guys doing!! β
At this time, the insurance gate in the distance slowly opened, and the manager quickly rushed in with a team of soldiers with a pale face and panicked eyes, forcibly evacuating the gathered crowd.
There was no obstacle, everyone seemed to have lost their minds, and it was easy to pull them all away.
The person in charge stepped forward quickly, just glanced at the monitor, and then the look on his face seemed to be confused for a second, and then turned pale.
This can't be blamed for his lack of composure, when Sebastian just looked, he found that the progress bar on a window was exactly 100%, and a line of cold text prompts were presented-
"STEM is preparing to install updates, please don't turn off the machine, your world will automatically restart......"
