Chapter 217: Doubts and Expectations
The atmosphere in the conference room was dreary, and there was a faint smell of tobacco wafting through the air, but it wasn't unpleasant, and it was clear that it wasn't the smell of cheap tobacco on the market.
The huge oval conference table was surrounded by people, but at a glance it was clear that these people were divided into three parts, needless to say the main seat facing the door, and on the right hand side of the main seat sat soldiers in military uniforms with stars on their epaulettes; On the left hand side of the main seat, there are men and women in various colors of civilian clothes, all of whom have a good temperament; In the third part, the white coats sit with their backs to the door.
Except for the white coat, everyone's eyes, including the middle-aged man on the main seat, were all on top of the four people in white coats, and the emotions in their eyes were different, but they were all oppressive, especially the middle-aged man on the main seat, whose eyes were very serious.
The four white coats, three old and one young, of course, the younger one is also over forty, and the hair on the sideburns of the other three is gray, and in the face of the oppressive gaze of many superiors, the young people look like they are ignoring, but the three older ones are slightly nervous.
"We need a concluding statement, Dr. Moon."
The youngest white coat glanced at the middle-aged man with a cold face, nodded and said:
"Unexpected, planned, it should be more accurate to say that."
The middle-aged man frowned, and a soldier on the right side said when he saw this:
"This is too brief, we have all seen what happened just now, and it is clear that the experiment was an accident, gods... Is Fuxi's awakening still planned? Or is it just something you're trying to hide? ”
Everyone glanced at the soldier who spoke with admiration or jealousy, and then turned to Dr. Wen, this kind of straightforward questioning, of course, the top leader is not easy to say, it is most appropriate for the person next to him to say it, but the soldier's reaction is very fast.
Dr. Wen glanced at the soldier, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he seemed to be a little disdainful, but after hesitating for a moment, he cleared his throat and explained:
"In the plan we have made, and this plan, after all, the existence of the gods cannot be something that we are at the mercy of, this has been confirmed in the previous research report, and in our plan, there are also gods out of control and on their own to deal with it, this... Soldier, have you really read our experiment plan carefully? If not, don't feel free to question our approach. ”
The soldier who was a little depressed did not become angry, but nodded calmly and said:
"I'll admit, I didn't read the whole trial program carefully, it was thicker than concrete bricks, I only read the summary part."
Dr. Wen nodded:
"In the emergency measures project, we have to deal with all kinds of accidents that we can think of, and we have to deal with the plan."
"Including the situation just now? But if you can anticipate the accident just now, the accident should not have happened. ”
Dr. Wen really pouted this time, it was really irritating to discuss problems with laymen, he hated this kind of thing the most, but he couldn't avoid it, he couldn't help but look at a few colleagues around him with some resentment, originally these messy chores should be handled by them.
It's just that the person who came today is too important, so Dr. Wen, as the general director, had to explain everything himself.
Dr. Wen took a deep breath and said expressionlessly:
"Yes, we didn't fully anticipate the situation just now, but we can expect that no matter what the process is, the current situation is that the gods have been awakened, and the gods have taken control of the entire virtual world, and the gods are not willing to accept our control. In this case, we do have a plan. ”
The soldier nodded, and before he could speak, an old woman on the opposite side preemptively said:
"Dr. Wen, we have always emphasized controllability, and if the controllability is too low, we may have to consider giving up this plan now."
Dr. Wen nodded and replied seriously:
"Academician Liu, do you mean controllability in a narrow sense or in a broad sense? When we talk about controllability in our proposals, we repeatedly emphasize the need to focus on controllability in the broad sense, not limited by controllability in the narrow sense, if you don't accept this suggestion in the first place, why approve this experiment? ”
The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop the old woman who wanted to continue speaking, and the old woman was a little embarrassed by Dr. Wen's straightforward rebuttal, and it was a battle of will.
"Dr. Wen, we really attach great importance to the requirements of controllability, please elaborate on the generalized controllability you mentioned, it was only on paper before, and now in the current situation, I think everyone will have a more intuitive understanding."
Dr. Wen looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, nodded lightly, and said:
"Yes, the generalized controllability I emphasize is not to simply define our relationship with the gods as a direct relationship between dominating and being dominated, we have more ways to influence the choices and judgments of the gods, and the gods can in turn influence or counter us There are very few means, so that in a broad sense, we can control each other, this is a very simple generalized control theory, I think Academician Liu should know."
Academician Liu's face was red, but she didn't dare to offend the middle-aged man on the throne, so she had to look at the middle-aged man, hoping that he would let him express his opinion, but the middle-aged man obviously didn't have this intention.
"I think all of you here understand this truth, but is it a bit hasty to conclude that you said that 'the gods have few means to counter us', you must know that ideological control and influence are an extremely dangerous way to resist."
The corners of Dr. Moon's mouth curled, as if he wanted to laugh, but it looked more like a smiling flesh.
"Mr. Li, it's just a virtual world, everyone who enters is very clear about this, the so-called belief is only limited to that world, Fuxi can't cross the barrier between the virtual world and reality, and have a substantial impact on people in the real world, this state of separation between virtual and reality, people are already familiar with it now, and they will continue to develop according to this routine."
At this time, an old man sitting relatively close to the white coat spoke:
"But Dr. Wen, in reality, there is also a belief in Fuxi."
Dr. Wen pouted:
"Can the formation of gods in reality be the same as in the virtual world? Unless we develop religious beliefs on a large scale in reality and mobilize the vast majority of the people to participate in them, even so, it is absolutely impossible to create a god as powerful as Fuxi without the accumulation of tens or hundreds of years. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they were a little cold, and Dr. Wen added:
"It is precisely because of this that we chose the great god of Fuxi, the more powerful the god, the more obvious the separation from reality, in short, if you want to penetrate or influence the mind, from the virtual to the real, it is impossible for a powerful god like Fuxi."
"So it's possible for a god with a little less ability?"
The middle-aged man asked a digression, and Dr. Wen nodded for a moment:
"That's true, but we didn't set out to create such a god."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face, but then quickly retreated:
"In other words, although this god seems out of control, it's not a big problem?"
"Yes, besides, we are only experimenting in an independent network domain now, and even if things get completely out of control, we can physically destroy it, please rest assured that Mr. Li."
The middle-aged man nodded:
"What is the size of the standard area you just mentioned?"
The middle-aged man's topic shifted a little stiffly, but everyone understood what he meant, of course, it didn't mean that this was a hall, but since the leader set the tone, then what views can be discussed later, and now the leader means that the experiment continues.
The corners of Dr. Wen's eyes narrowed, and the other white coats secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly gave each other a reassuring look, and finally Dr. Wen spoke:
"This is not a statement of area or volume, but a term for the amount of data, the so-called standard area, which refers to a standard data processing capability that can fully realize virtual reality computing without considering traditional physical and chemical data and without considering microbial systems."
"Oh, so can you tell us intuitively, let's have an intuitive idea."
"Hmm... Let's put it this way, the standard region is roughly a cube with a side length of one kilometer, modeled after the average density of matter in the real world, to achieve completely virtual computing data processing power, in this area, all matter will follow the motion patterns of traditional physics and chemistry, just like in the real world, of course, the microscopic part can't do it. ”
"I see, so what does transforming the world mean by making that virtual world into this standard area?"
"Yes..."
Next, everyone's questions turned to technical questions, this is the home of the white coats, everyone took turns to answer everyone's various questions, so that everyone has a very intuitive concept of the upcoming virtual world.
In short, this experimental virtual world is a miniature world with an area of only tens of square kilometers, in which there is about ninety percent of the simulation of the real world, and about 100,000 users are needed to support the power of the gods, and form a virtuous circle.
Of course, the degree of simulation of the virtual world is not the key, think about the simple ghost thing that Lin Hai experienced at the beginning, this virtual world is already good, the key to the virtual world is the experience of interaction between people, and it is a place for soul collision and training.
Today's experiment could be considered a success without mentioning the fact that the gods are out of control, and of course, there is still a lot of work and problems ahead, but the outlook is quite optimistic.
After sending off the bigwigs who made people breathe carefully, several white coats looked at each other, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces, but Dr. Wen still returned to the central control room with a cold face and a word.
Seeing this, the other three could only smile helplessly, and then each shook their heads and dispersed.
Dr. Wen returned to the central control room, his expression was very serious, and he looked up slightly at the various data on the big screen and the real-time feedback of the virtual world transformation, and his eyes flashed with some inexplicable halos.
