When Zhou Yang woke up, he saw Chu Zhengxuan frowning and staring at him, he recalled the last collision in the illusion and was stunned for a long time, until Chu Zhengxuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, awakening his attention.

"What's wrong?"

He asked curiously.

"You stayed in there for three hours."

"Three hours?" Chu Zhengxuan's voice was neither salty nor light, but it made Zhou Yang feel dizzy: "So long? ”

"Originally, Professor Wang wanted to wake you up at 35 minutes, but I observed that your physiological response was not abnormal, so I discussed it with Professor Wang and decided to observe it." Chu Zhengxuan said: "We were discussing just now, what to do if you can't wake up." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"According to the regulations promulgated by Order No. 413 of the Military Commission, you can be buried in the cemetery at your level, and a certain pension will be given to the old, weak, sick and disabled family members in accordance with the regulations, and the children and brothers will be given priority in admission to school, and if you are disabled, the state will be responsible for you for the rest of your life."

"Yes, I don't have a wife or son, and I'm still an only child, so I have to lose at least half of it according to this regulation." Zhou Yang smiled, shook his head, and did not pursue Chu Zhengxuan's failure to terminate the experiment.

"So some of our comrades don't appreciate the family planning policy."

"Do you have any brothers and sisters?" Zhou Yang asked with some curiosity.

Chu Zhengxuan's face suddenly changed, becoming extremely ugly, Zhou Yang was secretly startled, and quickly restrained his joking smile; This was the first time he had seen this intelligence leader show such an ugly face since he had known Chu Zhengxuan.

As an intelligence collector, Zhou Yang knew that this was the best time to break through a person's psychological defense, but as a colleague, he knew that he needed to be silent at this time to calm the other party's mood.

After a long time, Chu Zhengxuan seemed to recover: "Let's discuss the new situation you encountered." ”

……

After listening to Zhou Yang's narration, Chu Zhengxuan stared at the notes on his notes for a while, and then frowned.

"You're saying you saw six victims there who were immobilized more than twenty years ago, can you confirm their identities?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment: "I can see through the suspect's disguise through the facial bone shape, age is not a problem." ”

"I'm not talking about this confirmation." Chu Zhengxuan wrote a few strokes in his notes and considered the wording: "Rather, can you be sure whether they are dummies simulated by the program, or if they are ...... in another situation?"

He frowned again, and seemed to find it a little difficult to describe: "...... Reality. ”

"Real people?" Chu Zhengxuan's words made Zhou Yang a little frightened: "Extract people's thoughts from their brains, and then send them back to twenty years ago...... This kind of thingβ€”"

"β€”not impossible." Chu Zhengxuan picked up: "Don't forget that thing, maybe he will pull out the victim's thoughts." ”

"If it's true, so what?" Thinking of the unpredictable technique of that organization, Zhou Yang shook his head.

"It's not good, it's just to evaluate the technology that this organization has mastered, and then through these technologies, maybe you can get a glimpse of the other party's purpose."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Now we can count the technologies that this organization now has in their hands include virtual reality technology, remote manipulation of brain neurotechnology, artificial intelligence technology, and brain information linguistics." Chu Zhengxuan said: "According to the relatively general idea, the purpose of this organization should be to create an artificial world, and then pull everyone into it, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling all human beings. ”

"Are you sure this isn't the Matrix?" Zhou Yang's face was strange.

"It's a possibility, and based on the intelligence gathered so far, it's very likely." Chu Zhengxuan said solemnly: "If this conjecture is true, this is indeed a huge disaster worth noting. ”

"And what about the key people who are emerging right now? What are your thoughts? ”

"According to the information collected so far, Professor Guo is undoubtedly a person in the organization, and later left the organization for some reason, and Qin Ye has special permissions for virtual reality, which is obviously an important person for the organization, if the information revealed by Professor Guo and him is true, Qin Ye did not enter the organization, but the special permissions he has cannot be explained...... We haven't found out more information about Qin Ye yet, and a lot of things don't make sense at all......

Here I can make an assumption that Qin Ye may have been related to this organization when his memory was blurred for a long, long time in the past, and then this connection was severed because of something, until now when this organization's plan is about to succeed, this organization has found Qin Ye again. According to Professor Guo, Qin Ye is a very important figure for this project. ”

After Chu Zhengxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yang: "This is a very simple reasoning. ”

"Yes, it's a logical connection that is easy to form, but we still don't know what happened in between, a lot of key information."

"So you have to continue to participate in this game, I have a hunch that this game must contain important information, whether it is intentionally leaked by this organization or unintentionally." Chu Zhengxuan advised: "Especially keep an eye on Qin Ye, if this game is to affect him, there will definitely be a lot of key information that will only be received if you follow him." ”

"What are you going to do?" Hearing Chu Zhengxuan's intentions, Zhou Yang frowned.

"Of course, we will continue to analyze the technical things, and in a while we will go to the Middle East to deal with that organization up close, and now we have to finalize some details."

"The Middle East? Found the location of that organization? ”

"Investigate at close range, and you'll have to go too." Chu Zhengxuan said: "Lao Yang is still looking for Qin Ye, you also have to communicate with Qin Ye here, this matter will come to light in a few days, now it's better to do your own thing." ”

Zhou Yang nodded, and recalled the things in the illusion in his mind.

Why would the organization put the victim in there and play that inexplicable game.

Why did they toss for a long time, calculating and simulating, but in the end their efforts failed.

What is the message of this game?

……

Jiang Hongjun sat on that chair, his back was still straight when he read the materials, and when Chu Zhengxuan walked into the room, he raised his head with his eyes: "That group of American devils just left." ”

"Or is it something that pesters Professor Guo?" Chu Zhengxuan frowned.

"Yes, this time they were more interesting, they directly took out the Interpol wanted warrant, and talked nonsense about Guo Ning being a member of an international terrorist organization." Jiang Hongjun squinted his eyes, took off his reading glasses and wiped them: "I've sent them away." ”

Chu Zhengxuan nodded and handed over the information in his hand: "Director Jiang, this is the result of our research department in the past few days. ”

"Your opinion?" Jiang Hongjun didn't look at it, but gently put it aside and asked.

"Very dangerous." Chu Zhengxuan said seriously: "According to the opinion of the comprehensive intelligence department, the Americans did not completely deceive us, and behind this incident there is indeed a huge crisis that can affect the whole world. ”

"Can you confirm that?"

"It's confirmed." Chu Zhengxuan nodded: "It's all written down in detail in the report." ”

"So...... Can't just deal with these American devils? Jiang Hongjun looked a little unexpected.

"Yes, according to the trend of the future, it is imperative to cooperate with the Americans, after all, our country is not strong in the Middle East, and if we want to participate in this matter, we need the cooperation of the Americans. If necessary, I think we can also meet the Americans when Professor Guo wakes up. ”

"If it is the result of the department's consultation, then explain it to the Americans, wait for Guo Ning to wake up, get the information that should be obtained first, and then call the Americans." After Jiang Hongjun finished speaking, he frowned again: "Let the head of the planning department have a little heart, make some reservation plans, and don't let the Americans leave us alone." ”

"Understood."

Chu Zhengxuan wrote it down and quietly left the office.

The American agent was not too surprised when he heard Chu Zhengxuan's notice, but was a little irritable: "How long do we have to wait?" ”

"Until Professor Guo wakes up." Chu Zhengxuan replied.

Agent Clark smiled: "Mr. Chu, is it that as long as Mr. Guo can't wake up, it will be impossible for us to see him." ”

"Our government promises to arrange for your department to contact Mr. Guo as soon as he wakes up."

Agent Clark stared at Chu Zhengxuan's face carefully, trying to find a perfunctory expression in it, but in the end he gave up this effort in front of this face, he was not discouraged, but a strange smile appeared: "Mr. Chu, we actually have a question that we have always wanted to ask you, who is that person named Qin Ye?" ”

Chu Zhengxuan glanced at Clark: "Qin Ye? Is it a Chinese citizen? Who is he? Does it have anything to do with this case? ”

"Of course we wish there weren't." Clark laughed even more weirdly: "But I think he has, doesn't he?" ”

"The Americans noticed it and told Lao Yang to speed up his movements." As soon as Chu Zhengxuan returned to the base, he gave orders to Tian Haiyang.

……

Qin Ye sat in a wheelchair and recalled last night's dream with his eyes closed, and through the query of forensic vocabulary on the mobile phone network, he confirmed the authenticity of part of the words of the self-proclaimed police officer, but this made Qin Ye fall into deeper confusion.

The dream realm was artificial, but the identity and purpose of the person who created the dream were not clear, and Qin Ye suddenly found that he had no direction to investigate.

Looking at the dead gray ID on the address book, Qin Ye wanted to find that Officer Zhou and ask, and he was eager to know everything behind the scenes, but at this time, he could only think alone.

He walked out of the room in a wheelchair, but saw a note left by the doctor, but he went to the clinic, Qin Ye rubbed his temples, and pushed the wheelchair out of the doctor's clinic in London.

The morning of the Thames River was covered with a layer of light fog, drank a cup of coffee and walked on the riverbank, the empty streets and the faint morning light made Qin Ye feel a rare quiet, he sat under the tree on the riverbank, listening to the chanting sound from the church not far away, for a while his mind was ethereal, strange dreams, sick and weak bodies, and insoluble mysteries seemed to disappear in consciousness.

The lyrics sing the tune of the Book of Genesis, which makes Qin Ye inexplicably fall into deep thought, the Bible says that God created the world in seven days, but it has been confirmed by modern science to be false, and the birth of the world has been pushed to 4.6 billion or even 13.7 billion years ago, but at this moment Qin Ye suddenly started thinking from another angle.

Facts and scientific thinking prove that the Genesis theory is false, but what if the facts are reversed and the Genesis theory is proved to be true?

As a philosopher, Qin Zhi knew that all philosophical systems were based on some public worldview, such as the four elements for Aristotle, the world theory and the common rules for Spinoza, experience for Hume, reason and monad for Leibniz, and innate knowledge for Kant.

In the eyes of this group of scholars, science may be a fairly complete and sophisticated philosophical system, but it is by no means flawless, let alone sacrosanct and inviolable.

The theoretical basis of science is undoubtedly mathematics, but mathematics itself cannot be proved by scientific methods, and from a philosophical point of view, elementary mathematics is based on a set of reasoning based on the five Piaro postulators, which are not the result of detailed scientific proofs, but only inductive assumptions based on experience.

This is the embarrassment of modern science, and it is also the threshold that science cannot get around before philosophy, but ironically, science itself has given the most perfect and ironic proof and answer to this question.

This answer is called GΓΆdel's incompleteness theorem, and its proof reveals that science has no solution to the problem of verifying the integrity of its own system.

Philosophers' thinking is often strange, for example, Qin Ye is now thinking, if human beings and even the earth were really created by God out of thin air more than 5,000 years ago, what would happen now?

Scientists may be able to come up with all the evidence that the Earth was born 4.6 billion years ago, but if this is a deliberate effort by God to make everything left behind by creation look like it can be scientifically proven to be created 4.6 billion years or 13.7 billion years ago, who can say that this possibility does not exist?

Assuming that the Book of Genesis is true, is human civilization's tireless reflection on its past merely black humor?

The six people in the fantasy world worked tirelessly to copy the standard answer to create the world, and the 'answer' summarized by the geological astronomy left over thousands of years of human civilization is really the standard answer?

Taking it a step further, whether the world was born as scientifically explored or created by God, what difference does it make to the universal masses of beings? And how can we find out the real truth?

Qin Ye looked back at the gradually bustling crowd on the street, but he felt his body lean in between the movement of the wheelchair, and a feeling of weightlessness made his heart sudden.

A chaotic voice came from behind him, but Qin Ye was already caught off guard when he looked at the blue river in front of him.

In the early morning on the banks of the London River, a disabled young Chinese descendant fell into the River Thames while walking, and the young man was quickly rescued without causing any waves.

It's just that when Qin Ye entered the hospital, all the official news of his entry into the UK was quietly erased, and Yang Jianhua and his party, who came to London immediately after him, found that they had lost their target, and his gums were swollen and painful, and he began to feel tricky.
