309, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back

In the real world outside the box, two minutes is too short.

Mei Ziqing watched Aoki and Su Huilan lie in, the box lid was closed, and the professor pressed the start button, she thought of several questions in her heart, and before she could ask them, the space box made a ticking sound, and the lid panel became transparent again, and then slowly opened.

The two people who had just reclined in sat up, as if they were newlyweds who had come here to buy furniture, and had just sat down to try their comfort.

Su Huilan rubbed her temples, moved her arms again, saw that Aoki was already standing outside the box, and said with a smile: "You move fast!" ”

Mei Yiqiu said: "He doesn't look as graceful as you when he gets up. ”

Aoki stretched lazily and said, "Crawling out of the coffin, no matter how elegant, you look like a zombie." ”

Su Huilan's smile froze, and she quickly stepped out of the box with a cold face, gave him a blank look, and said, "You are a zombie!" ”

Aoki laughed twice.

Su Huilan was even more angry and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Aoki looked at him left and right, and said, "This game can't be quit by itself, in case the time setting is faulty, or accidentally set for too long, won't you live in it until you go crazy?" ”

Bian Ziyuan on the side rushed to say: "We have also considered the problem you said, and time control is really troublesome." Our experiments have too few samples, and each person's brain cells are different in their activity and metabolism, resulting in different degrees of unfolding in dreams at the same time. However, this unfolding does not have to be temporal, it can also be spatial. You feel like time is too long now because you haven't created anything more in your dreams. It's a game, and if you can focus on the world of the game itself, time will pass quickly. ”

Aoki didn't expect that this young man who had just come to the lab was already so deeply involved in the development of this game, and he couldn't help but be impressed. As far as he knows, the development of the space box is the brains of the world's top physicists, and the Dream Guide is more than just a game, it is a cutting-edge exploration of the life sciences.

Mei Yiqiu smiled slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied with this new student.

"As for the problem of machine failure," Bian Ziyuan glanced at Mei Yiqiu, and received encouragement from the professor, and continued, "We are already thinking of ways to improve." The second-generation space box will definitely have a reasonable technical means to solve it and prevent accidents. Plus, the core of our game design is based on the player's intelligence, but there's also a built-in super-only program called Kronos. ”

"Kronos?" Aoki frowned, "That artificial intelligence you developed?" ”

"Yes." When it comes to Kronos, Bian Zi is far from proud, "We are trying to make Kronos understand the expression of human consciousness, and when there are more samples in the game test, he should be able to analyze the player's conscious purpose, and at that time, if the player wants to quit the game, as long as he has a thought, Kronos will know." ”

"You're saying handing over the player's rights to an artificial intelligence?" Aoki felt that it was not as reliable as timing.

"You can rest assured that Kronos is running very stable and there will be no problems, unless there is a problem with the whole system, such as a power outage, but in that case, the space box will also stop working, and the player can naturally quit the game." Bian Ziyuan said.

Aoki shook his head disapprerovingly, his face a little heavy.

Bian Ziyuan felt that he was being looked down upon, and Kronos was his most proud design, which was unanimously praised by Mei Yiqiu and other top scientists. Not only did the professor keep the name "Kronos" for the program, but he also made him the creator god of the game world.

He asked, a little unhappily, "Mr. Aoki, do you have any questions?" ”

Aoki ignored him, his head bowed and lost in thought.

Su Huilan glanced at Aoki and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Aoki is not worried about the failure of the machine, but is afraid that there will be a problem with Kronos himself." ”

Bian Ziyuan said very confidently: "Kronos is a program developed by me, there will be no problem." ”

"Really?" Su Huilan said, "Your Kronos can recognize human consciousness thoughts, do you think you can still control him?" If he doesn't want someone to wake up, will that cause that person to never wake up? ”

Bian Ziyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... Unless he changes the code for himself, but ......"

"No, however, Kronos can do it." Mei Yiqiu, who had been beside him without speaking, suddenly interrupted Bian Ziyuan's answer, "The Creation God naturally has the unparalleled power and energy that he possesses in that world. ”

"Then what is the reason to restrain Kronos?" Su Huilan asked.

"So we made the underlying rules, the basic physical rules of that world, which God could not change. On the other hand, don't we have two gods, and God and God can check each other. ”

"You mean......" Su Huilan looked at Aoki in surprise, and then giggled, "I didn't see that he looked like a god just now, and he didn't even ......"

Su Huilan wanted to say that Aoki couldn't even enter the mirror that guided the dream, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Aoki.

"It's the first time I've even seen a prehistoric town, what kind of god is it!" Aoki sighed, and then asked Mei Yiqiu, "Why did you design such a strange pyramid?" ”

Su Huilan glanced at Aoki with some curiosity, and then looked at Mei Yiqiu with the same curiosity, waiting for his answer.

Mei Yiqiu didn't shy away from anything, and said in front of everyone: "Oh, do you remember the strange symbol you came to ask me about when you came? That's when we talked about pyramids. Since the disappearance of our research vessel, we have made a lot of efforts to find the traces of those scientists, and we have also stepped up research into the underwater remains of the South Pacific. Unfortunately, it is gone, and now we are left with only a few precious photos and a video footage. ”

"However, our research on the mirror pyramid is not without progress. We simulated a multi-dimensional mirror space on the computer, which is the core idea of the development of the Space Box and Dream Guide games. So when the game plan was discussed, the design of this prehistoric town was unanimously approved. Not only does this reflect the concept of the game's design, but it also reminds us that there are pyramids on the banks of the Nile and one on the bottom of the South Pacific, and that humans may well have mastered the method of mirror-symmetrical universe and space-time reversal 4,000 years ago. ”

Since joining the lab, Bian Ziyuan has been busy refining Kronos's design and the development of the Dream Guide game, and although he has learned a lot about the causes and consequences, he has rarely had the opportunity to hear the professor talk about these things positively. He interjected curiously and asked, "Are you saying that the underwater pyramid disappeared because it entered another cosmic space?" ”

"It doesn't have to be another universe, it could be a higher dimension. It's actually still there, we just can't see it. ”

"That means that the research ship has also entered the advanced dimension, maybe those scientists have already made a major discovery, and they will be able to solve this mystery when they come back!" Bian Ziyuan said excitedly.

"I'm afraid they won't come back." The professor's face showed a look of anger, "I just got the news not long ago that the wreckage of the research ship was found near the Tubuai Islands, and no crew survived. ”
