Chapter 44: The Emperor

Du Gang looked at Meng Yuan, blinked a little dazedly, and then took a silent puff of his cigarette.

This is also in the virtual world of the dungeon, if he changes places, such as in the bureau, he has to advise Meng Yuan to do a urine test first.

It was too much information, and he had to digest it.

In fact, Du Gang has already had a lot of speculations before, such as a super genius hacker who was born out of nowhere, or a mysterious overseas technology company.

Even aliens came to mind.

But I didn't expect the other party to say this possibility.

Everything about the Order turned out to be true? There are demons in this world? And demons can also shuttle between history and reality, tamper with history, and endanger human beings?

Isn't it a bit ...... That's ridiculous?

This is even more unacceptable than some kind of hack technology that is difficult to explain.

Of course, Meng Yuan had already expected his reaction.

"I know these things are really hard to accept, but that's okay, there will be a chance to verify it soon.

"At 1:37 p.m. the day after tomorrow, a small slice of history will begin to briefly overlap with reality, and some of the forces in that slice of history will appear in reality.

"This is where they appear in reality, there are 27 in total, all of them are in China, and 22 of them are around Tiandu.

"According to the historical period in which this historical slice is located, most of the demons that appear this time will appear in the image of Dongyi people.

"There may be a small number of cavalry, and the weapons are mainly cold-armed swords and longbows."

Meng Yuan said, a piece of paper appeared in his hand and handed it to Du Gang.

Du Gang stretched out his hand to take it and found that it was a map with detailed marks on the locations where the demons would appear.

"There are a lot of places in here, all of them are downtown!

"Although it's just a cold weapon, if you meet an unarmed ordinary person......"

Du Gang's face changed, although it is still unclear whether what the self-proclaimed head of game operation and maintenance of Beichen said is true, but if it is true, I am afraid that he will have to pay an unimaginably terrible price.

Meng Yuan continued: "So, I need your cooperation. ”

Du Gang: "How to cooperate?" ”

Meng Yuan explained: "It's very simple, lock off all these areas and evacuate ordinary people.

"If you're not at ease, you can send plainclothes to be on guard nearby, but don't be too loud. The affairs of the current Order cannot be known to ordinary people.

"As for these demons that appear, I can arrange for players to deal with them."

Du Gang was a little surprised: "Players to solve? No way! This kind of dangerous thing cannot be mixed with by ordinary people.

"Even if it's dangerous, it's definitely our people."

Meng Yuan continued to explain: "You don't have to worry about this, the players will not be in danger.

"I will give them the power of the Order to fight demons in a special form in an imperceptible state.

"Even if they die, only the power of the Order will be consumed, and they will not suffer any damage themselves.

"Of course I understand your concerns, but these things must be resolved in the way of the Orderer. Although the demons that appeared this time can be dealt with with hot weapons, the sound of gunfire will cause panic and is not conducive to keeping secrets; Second, as the demon's power increases, the effect of thermal weapons will gradually decay.

"So, you just need to evacuate the people in these locations, and I'll arrange the rest."

Du Gang was silent, obviously weighing in his heart.

"So, why do you say that I know that some of the game content will be missing after this?"

Meng Yuan: "It's very simple, demons have a special ability that can affect the spirit of ordinary people. Fighting demons for a long time will continue to be eroded, which can lead to serious mental problems and even collapse.

"And as long as the players don't know that they are fighting demons, and just think that this is a game, plus the power protection of the order, they will not be affected by the demon spirit attack.

"In the future, I will also arrange for players to enter the historical slice where the demons are located and completely eradicate these demons.

"Therefore, once you know the truth, you can no longer fight the demons in person, and you can only conduct simulated trials in the trial illusion."

Du Gang nodded slightly: "I see, ...... so"

Although he still has a lot of doubts about this statement, the other party does give a set of methods that can justify himself.

Moreover, whether it is true or false, it can be verified the day after tomorrow.

For such a situation that may be harmful to ordinary people, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

Thinking of this, Du Gang nodded: "Understood, I will report this situation and evacuate all the ordinary people in these areas."

"But there's a catch.

"What is the reason to evacuate? And when the time comes, there will inevitably be the sound of fighting, and it is probably impossible to completely block the news and keep it secret.

"Once the secret is revealed, all players will naturally know, won't your plan all fail?"

Meng Yuan had already prepared: "Of course, I have already considered this.

"The reason for the evacuation was simple: the offline activities of the game."

"Offline events?" Du Gang was stunned for a moment, he had never thought of this possibility before.

Meng Yuan nodded: "That's right."

"You disguised yourself as a staff member of the game "Dark Sand", talked to the shops or residents in these locations, and said that you would carry out offline activities of the game, and requisition their venues for the filming of the MR game.

"The so-called offline activities are demon invasions of the real world.

"When the time comes to vacate these venues, I will arrange a special experience area around them. Upon arrival, players will be required to wear a special device. Of course, this is all a way to fool the players. In fact, it is to give them the special power of the Order.

"Players are misled into thinking that this is some special MR game mechanic.

"It doesn't matter if the players cause some damage to these places during the battle with the demons, even if they are seen or heard by passers-by from a distance, because these can be explained by the reasons of 'offline activities of the game' and 'framing and shooting scenes'.

"It will be enough to repair or compensate these sites in the future."

Du Gang was a little confused: "What do you mean by the special MR mechanism?" ”

Meng Yuan explained: "The so-called MR is a mixed reality game, that is, a technology that combines reality with game graphics.

"Of course, the MR technology in this world is still very underdeveloped, but players already believe that the company that developed Dark Sand has such cutting-edge technology.

"Not only that, but I also thought of a statement that systematically explains these black technologies, and when the time comes, the official will come forward to stamp and certify it, which is enough to make the vast majority of people believe it."

Du Gang was a little curious: "What do you say?" ”

Meng Yuan: "It's very simple, claiming to the outside world that the game "Dark Sand" is the result of more than ten years of research and development by a top scientific research studio in China. It represents a revolutionary breakthrough in virtual reality and mixed reality.

"This 100% realistic virtual reality technology depends on two crucial technical architectures: one is through the human subconscious, the use of algorithms to automatically generate the virtual world, is similar to the principle of dreams, it is another great breakthrough in the connection of consciousness with virtual reality technology; The second is to trace the historical factors in the human DNA and collective subconscious, generate corresponding historical slices, and reproduce the real history.

"What makes Dark Sand a game so real is that it is rooted in the human subconscious, like dreaming, where the unreal elements of the dream are automatically ignored and it is difficult for people to realize that they are in a dream. This game also makes use of this principle, because it is a world built by the subconscious of countless players, so it will be extremely realistic.

In addition, the information in human DNA and the collective subconscious actually have the memories of the ancients, and through certain technical means, the historical fragments of the past can be dug up, so as to reproduce the detailed and true history.

"The name of the game "Dark Sand", in addition to the meaning of the previous player analysis, has another meaning.

"It is built on top of the collective subconscious, the human consciousness is the visible island, and the subconscious is the part below the surface of the water, so it is called 'dark sand'.

This argument still seems a bit too sci-fi, but it's more acceptable than the Orderer's thing.

"Coupled with the official certification and endorsement, even if some people doubt, there is no more reasonable explanation."

Du Gang nodded slightly: "Hmm...... In this way, it is indeed possible to keep this secret to the maximum.

"But will demons keep invading the real world? Will it get bigger and bigger in the future? What if there is a situation that the players can't handle? ”

Meng Yuan said: "You don't have to worry about this.

"I can also organize players to counterattack these slices of history. Once the demons are eradicated, the power of the Order can be enhanced. Moreover, these slices of history can also serve as our forward positions and springboards.

"At that time, even if the demons want to invade again, they will enter those historical slices first, and the influence of demons on reality will always be maintained at a very low level, and even reality can be gradually built into a safe area that will never be affected by demons."
