304. A prehistoric town
Su Huilan took the lead in lying down in one of the boxes, and before the lid was closed, she encouraged Aoki with her eyes and said, "See you later." ”
When Aoki lay in, he always felt like he was in a coffin.
The shape and curves of the box are probably ergonomically designed, and there is a soft cushion underneath for great comfort. The side walls are metallic, but they are not cold to the touch, and I don't know what material they are made of.
When the lid snapped shut, the world fell silent in an instant.
Aoki was taken aback, this soundproofing effect is a little too good. The good thing is that the lid is transparent and you can see the people outside.
Mei Yiqiu looked at him with a smile as she held her pipe. The white hair that burst out of his head grew stronger and fuller, and Aoki wondered if his brain was radiating more than before.
I don't know if it's the glass cover that distorts the light, or the psychological effect, Aoki always thinks that Mei Yiqiu laughs weirdly, how she looks like the evil doctor in comics and film and television dramas, and he is his experiment.
He lay in a coffin worth $20 million and fully experienced what it was like to be a guinea pig.
Mei Yiqiu gave him a thumbs up. Aoki thought he was praising him, but the professor just stretched out his finger to flip the switch. As the professor's hand touched somewhere on top of the coffin, the otherwise clear glass lid began to darken. Slowly, it changed from transparent to light gray, dark gray, until it turned black.
Aoki felt as if he was waiting for death. It's not a very user-friendly experience, and if it doesn't improve, he's sure players won't enjoy playing it.
When darkness came completely, Aoki felt some fluctuations, as if someone was dreaming next to him. He clearly felt the existence of a space, and subconsciously entered it.
Then he saw the bright sun shining on the empty streets, and the shadows of the willows swaying in the wind. There are many houses built on both sides of the street, but the style is not uniform, some are modern, a bit like the Middle Ages, some are Oriental wooden buildings, and some are Western-style stone houses.
But these things are nothing, and what attracts Aoki is the huge mountain in the distance, right at the end of the straight street.
To say that it is a mountain, it is not, because it has straight ridges, smooth planes, and more like a pyramid. The top of the pyramid rises into the clouds, and above the clouds is another upside-down pyramid. The two towers are connected by only one vertex, and from a distance, they are magnificent and majestic, but they also make people worry about whether they will fall.
Aoki had just acquired a dream corridor from the old lady not long ago, and had seen the magical pyramid hourglass, but he didn't expect to see such a shape here again.
He was surprised, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
This is supposed to teach them to design the game world, why would they design such a thing? Although Professor May has discussed with him about the Union Symbol and the Mirror Pyramid, what is the point of putting this thing in the game?
With doubts, Aoki walked towards the pyramid. As I walked, I wondered if this thing would also spin upside down, and then a dark passage would appear.
It wasn't until he got closer that he realized he was thinking too much. It's nothing more than a huge pyramid-shaped house with an open door underneath.
Su Huilan stood at the gate and smiled at him.
"How does it feel?" She asked.
"It's realistic!"
It was Aoki's intuitive feeling, there had never been a game world so realistic, but he couldn't figure out how this place was made. If it's made by a computer, how can it make people conscious? Is that coffin worth 20 million really so awesome that it can transmit the computer scene directly to the nerve center of the person?
Su Huilan probably saw his question, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to transmit the simulated scene to the human brain, the difficulty is the back, how to let the player create the world by himself." ”
Aoki nodded and said, "So this coffin you built can extract human memories?" ”
"It's not a coffin, it's a space box." Su Huilan corrected with a smile, "We are not forcibly extracting human memories, but helping people use memories to create the world. Without memory, human consciousness cannot create new worlds. But memory, in turn, restricts human creativity, so we hope that players can get rid of the shackles of memory to a certain extent. ”
"We designed the underlying rules in the game world, which are the basic physical laws of the world, but they are all very basic, and there are even many contradictions. This is to simulate human dreams as much as possible, without getting out of our control. In a world where there are contradictions in basic physics, isn't it more inspiring for people's creativity? ”
Aoki felt a little complicated, so he didn't care about it, and asked, "How do you tell the difference between an earthling and an invading consciousness?" ”
Su Huilan said: "Invasion consciousness and earth humans belong to two different species. Each species has its own specific ethnic characteristics, which manifest themselves even in the early years of life, before they can be remembered. When the player enters the game, there is a brief black box moment when the connection between his consciousness and his brain is severed. While this time is short, so short that we can completely ignore it in the classical physical world, it is long enough in the quantum world. ”
"At the moment when consciousness is not dependent on matter, different races will definitely show different characteristics, such as invading consciousness will show aggression, want to find living beings to cling to, or disguise themselves as shadows of other consciousness bodies, and so on."
Aoki said, "It's all just your hypothesis, and you haven't caught an extraterrestrial consciousness experiment." ”
"Yes. But isn't science based on hypotheses? ”
"But isn't it too much to pay to test this hypothesis?"
Su Huilan chuckled, "Mr. Aoki's tone sounds like the owner of the project!" ”
Aoki disagreed, looked around and said, "What about the black box you are talking about?" It looks sunny here. ”
Su Huilan said: "This is a prehistoric town. ”
"A prehistoric town?"
"Yes, it means the place before Genesis. The game hasn't really started yet, so you can think of it as a game lobby where players can read game guides and exchange ideas with each other. ”
Su Huilan pointed to the gate at the bottom of the pyramid and said, "Every player needs to go inside and get trained. ”
Aoki nodded: "Understood, it looks like I have a chance to become a hardcore player in this game." ”
Su Huilan shook her head and said, "You are not a player, you are a god." ”
"God?" Aoki laughed, "I don't even know the rules of the game, what kind of god is it!" ”
"The three gods of Genesis, Kronos, Situ and Aoki, you can't deny it if you want. If you want to impersonate a normal player, it's best to change your name, but the subconscious mind doesn't deceive, and concealing it will drain your mental energy. ”
Aoki knows that this game is extremely similar to dreams, and he can use mental power, that is, a person with strong mental power can change the world to a certain extent. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is God.
"Will anyone challenge the position of God?"
"There will be."
Su Huilan chuckled, secretly probing the strength of Aoki's mental power, and Aoki was also probing her. The spiritual power of the two people carefully intersected outside the pyramid house, and everyone knew it.
