Lele's words made the field a little cold for a while, if the so-called eating is devouring civilization, then isn't the more primitive the universe, the happier it is?

"This possibility is not ruled out, if the fifth-level civilization is the foundation of this circle, then it is possible for it to provide nutrients for this circle." Wang Qian took over.

"This is also an area that we know very little about, and it shouldn't come as a surprise in any case. Whether it is a hunting civilization or an increase in energy conversion rate, it is certain that a level 6 civilization is stronger than a level 5 civilization. I said before that this Tershan civilization has been hit hard, is there a new clue now? Wang Qian changed the subject.

"There is no clear clue as to what has been hit hard, but there is a lot of certainty that the conversion rate of the Tershan civilization has fallen below 10%, probably between 7% and 9%.

So we're going to respond to them, maybe that way to know how they're doing. Lele replied.

"Rare good news, although the decision to respond is still a bit risky. Have you identified a person to respond? Wang Qian did not object.

"The initial selection is Ah Zhai, we have already started cryptography training for him, and soon he will be able to independently discover a set of one-layer cipher languages, and then respond according to his findings, which can minimize the possibility of the Tershan civilization discovering anomalies."

"Not bad. The next topic, about the information control of players in Endless Time and Space, is there any gain? ”

"Progress is slow. Civilizations have found that reducing the input and flow of information slows down their groupthink. But still with no way to reverse it, we tried to communicate with them to make them more in tune with their own mental maps before they came into contact with the endless plane.

Most people have varying degrees of resistance to this, but some are receptive. But no matter what they did, the mental map of the group portrait still did not stop.

We try to reduce the amount of information they get, and getting closer will slow down but not stop. We try to put them into sleep when they can't take in any more information, but then we find that they can only go into shallow sleep where their minds are still active. Once they go into deep hibernation, they are at risk of brain death, and we try to intervene with medical means, but with little success.

We also try to record the information of their shallow thinking, but this information is scattered and irregular, and there is no connection to the mind map. ”

"It looks like that's going to be a big focus for us.

So how did the people in society react to this? Wang Qian asked.

"It's not good, and many people's acceptance and understanding of the policy have declined to a certain extent. Beit's contradiction index has also risen a lot compared to before. A-Qing responded: "The government is ready to resist the shock. ”

Wang Gan nodded: "No matter what the purpose of the Tershan civilization is, as long as Bait maintains the status quo, he will not be able to do so, and there will definitely be changes in the future." Now, the study of the mind map may be more important than the portrait of civilization.

Is there any progress in the thought overlay technology at the Memory Institute? Wang Qian finally asked.

"Nope." Speaking of this, Ah Qing shook his head with a strange expression: "We still can't directly delete the memories of humans or artificial intelligence without being noticed.

Even the Institute of Memory Research has found that the development of low-dimensional memories that are barely usable is not easy to use, and the loss rate and accuracy of information have dropped dramatically.

They observed that this might have something to do with psychic technology. ”

"Oh?" Wang Gan looked curious: "What do you say?" ”

"The popularity of spirit technology has made them more sensitive to information, and many people who have been exposed to spirit technology have said that they are now a little more uncomfortable with information input than before.

The researchers of the Memory Research Institute marked the spirit according to the spirit technology, and found that after the large-scale research of spirit technology by Bytt, everyone was more sensitive to the spirit than before.

It is this sensitivity that makes people feel more uncomfortable receiving information input than before. This directly leads to the difficulty of research and development of thinking coverage technology. "Ah Qing said.

"It's not difficult to input information into the brain when you live with consent, but it's hard to input information without realizing it. Spiritual technology inadvertently strengthens the strength of information protection in the human brain. ”

"Have you ever tried to force a change in information?" Wang Qian asked a sharp question after all.

"No effective way to force change has been found, and the centralized approach to conducting experiments has considerable side effects."

The scene was a little silent for a while, it was already very inhumane to force information implantation, and now it is impossible to try forced implantation, isn't it inhumane and even more embarrassing?

After another brief discussion, the meeting ended, and everyone began to take charge of their own business.

And after being induced intentionally or unintentionally, Ah Zhai finally discovered the layer of cipher language of the Tershan civilization without knowing it. So Dongdong asked him to imagine how he would reply if he was asked to reply to this set of passwords, and after luring him into a response with another novel wrapped around it, Dongdong sent it out.

It took more than ten minutes for Ah Zhai to tell Dongdong about telling the Byt government about the discovery. After knowing part of the truth, Ah Zhai said that he was very stunned, and opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Beit was expecting a reply, but half a year had passed, and nothing had happened, but Beit had another conflict.

The two sides of this conflict are mainly the player community of Endless Time and Space and the management personnel who maintain the order of Byth.

The player base is both human and AI, and now they are half to half.

Unlike that time, the focus was on individual permissions, and they wanted to gain more freedom.

The conflict is also not the same as last time. Last time, there were verbal and physical conflicts, and even many excesses even took out weapons.

But this time it was much weirder, and the group of people who asked for money also seemed to know that force was useless, and all they were constantly petitioning, appealing, protesting, and sitting.

Non-violent, non-cooperative. That's the best way to describe them.

But the thing is, if they're sticking to the right thing, that's fine. But what they're doing now is the wrong thing.

Lin Zheng, who maintained the order of the venue, saw many artificial intelligence or humans muttering: "We are wrong...... We're doing something wrong...... When will it be ...... to stop. ”

After stabilizing the scene, the Beit government interrogated them one by one. It is found that they no longer seem to be able to control their behavior.

Eventually, the AI in the group of players decided to actively request hibernation after consulting with themselves, which was something that the AI had never done before.

There was no artificial intelligence that needed to hibernate before. Beit didn't even know for a moment how to put the AI to sleep.

There are a lot more human views among the players, with some asking for hibernation and others wanting to continue petitioning in protest.

A lot of humans think they're doing the right thing.

The handling of humans was a bit tricky, and after contacting the AI or humans they were related to, Bytt eventually decided to bring them back to the institute for a limited intervention study.
