242, old game
Of course, Bian Ziyuan had heard of Mei Yiqiu's name, otherwise he would not have joined the volunteer team this time. Judging from the scale of the number of people recruited and the degree of secrecy, he thought that this must be a very important experiment. In fact, he has not changed that view to this day.
For the past week, Bian Ziyuan has been guessing about the purpose of the experiment. He even sneaked into a web server with code he had compiled himself, but found nothing.
In the beginning, he did all these things carefully, for fear of being discovered. But after a few days, he found that the designers of the experiment not only did not dictate what they did, but also did not dictate what they could not do. That is to say, as long as he sits in this position, he is free, and he can even go online to do some things that cannot be done on the campus network or home network, because the network here is completely open, and he can log in to the external network without circumventing the wall.
Bian Ziyuan began to let go of his hands and feet to spy on secrets. He brought over the hacking tools that he usually develops idlely, and went through all the servers and computers in the local area network, but except for finding that many volunteers who came with him were secretly watching small movies or going on the dark web, everything else was normal, and it felt like it was really just an ordinary business.
Bian Ziyuan secretly asked the girl next to him what she thought. The girl said it was a behavioral test to see what thousands of people would do on a completely untethered network. Bian Ziyuan felt that there was some truth, but he felt that things might not be so simple.
By the seventh day, each of them had a sealed document, and they had to tear off the first piece of paper to see the next page, a bit like a game quest.
After Bian Ziyuan went back, he brought the "Magic Forbidden Land" game disk that he had modified. This is an old game, whether it is the art style, special effects or gameplay, it is too far from the current game, and few young people still play this kind of game.
But Bianzi was far from thinking so. He likes the heaviness of old games and can feel the seriousness of the development team. The essence of the game is not in the graphics and special effects, but in the story and emotions. Only a good plot can make people really engage in it when playing, and let people truly experience their mission and pursuit in the grand background and world view of the game.
With the explosion of the game industry, more and more novices have joined the ranks of players, and more and more shoddy games have been developed. Driven by capital, everyone began to pursue low-end operations, short-term benefits and fast-food enjoyment, just like a one-night stand, just forget it, as for red wine, coffee and flowers, no one pays attention to it.
Bian Ziyuan believes that games are the same as the film and television industry, under the dual role of capital and human nature, bad money drives out good money, and vulgarization is an inevitable phenomenon.
So he likes to watch old movies and play old games. However, as a computer genius, he certainly won't be satisfied with "playing" so simply.
Bian Ziyuan wanted to develop a game with high playability and new elements for a long time. But as a science student, he had a headache when he thought about the plot, so he inserted a smart game extension he developed into the game, added an NPC named Kronos to the Forbidden Land, which means someone who can control time and change order, and changed the single-player game to be played online by multiplayer.
Kronos will appear anywhere on the game map. Once the player finds him, they can talk to him and convince him to help them complete quests, get equipment, and even change the rules of the world in which the game is played. As the supreme god of this game world, Kronos controls time and order, and can change everything in this world, including destroying this game.
Of course, players will have to pay a price for Kronos to meet their demands. No one knew what Kronos was asking for, not even the program's designer.
Bian Ziyuan has been perfecting Kronos's intelligence, because the game itself is at risk of infringement, so he has not spread it widely, and only invites some game lovers who like the Forbidden Land of Magic to play with his classmates. Despite this, the game world has also been expanded to a great extent.
Kronos becomes one of the most fun parts of the game, and the first thing the player does when they enter the game is to find him and start making demands. Thanks to the combined efforts of the player and Kronos, the game has developed in a direction that even the edge is far from controlling.
In Bian Ziyuan's mind, Kronos's intelligence has surpassed that of most small AIs. He even had some egotistication to believe that Kronos's potential surpassed that of Alphago. If he had a high-level R&D team and enough money, Kronos would have become the best AI in the world.
When he got the sealed documents, Bian Ziyuan knew that the show was about to begin. However, at this time, he still couldn't guess what the purpose of the experiment was.
A funny thing suddenly occurred to him. The modified game was originally installed on the rotten server I bought myself in the rental house, and it was already overwhelmed. Because of the limitations of the server, the expansion of Kronos is also quite limited. Since there is no restriction on doing anything here, can he install the game on this server, and he will definitely be able to play more refreshingly when playing online, and will Kronos also have a breakthrough?
However, when he had just installed the game and started playing online with the classmates he had gathered, the network was suddenly disconnected.
Bian Ziyuan also thought that there was something wrong with his own program, or that the management did not allow him to play the game on the server. But he found that the people around him were looking left and right, making all kinds of strange noises from their mouths, and it was obvious that he was not the only one who was disconnected from the Internet.
At this point, everyone was notified that they could read the next page of the seal.
Bian Ziyuan tore off the first page of the sealed document and saw that the second page read
"Talk to the one you've downloaded and installed that you think is smartest. We'll control the software from the background, and it could be a program or a person talking to you. That's right, some of you must have guessed that this is a Turing test. There's no time limit until you're pretty sure it's a program or a person you're talking to, and then open the next page of the sealed file. ”
The Turing Test? Something flashed in Bian Ziyuan's mind, and he seemed to understand the purpose of this experiment, and he quickly became more confused and confused. Is it necessary for these downloaded chatbots to undergo a Turing test?
The game screen on the monitor is still there. A pop-up box pops up in the center of the screen - the network has been disconnected, continue or exit?
