013 Investigation
Accustomed to self-driving cars, and then sitting in manual driving, Wu Zhe is still a little unaccustomed. This is the same as at the beginning, when he first sat on the autopilot, he always felt that there was no one in the driver's seat, and he was completely insecure. But now he was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, watching the scenery continue to flow backwards through the car window, but his eyes were involuntarily looking at Officer Hou's hand holding the steering wheel, and he subconsciously had a sense of worry and fear in his heart - what if he was inattentive or misoperated......
Yes, Wu Zhe has to admit that he now trusts computers a little more than people.
From the time I got into the car until now, the car has been out for more than half an hour, and at the beginning, I could still see a few people on the side of the road, but now I can't see anything, and the lights are starting to get darker and darker. Except for the street lights on both sides of the road, which automatically turned on in advance, nothing could be seen in other directions of vision, Wu Zhe looked at the lights that kept lighting up in front of them and constantly going out behind them, and felt as if their car was not driving, but being dragged forward by this light belt.
"How long have you been hibernating combined?" Officer Hou doesn't like to talk, but Wu Zhe doesn't like it even more, and in the end Officer Hou broke the silence.
"More than a hundred years."
"That's long enough...... For more than 100 years, he is older than my father, because of some kind of illness. ”
"Well, lung cancer," Wu Zhe said, pointing to the cigarette that Officer Hou had put in the car, "Smoke less, Officer Hou, how old are you this year?" ”
"54, don't call me Officer Hou, just call me Lao Hou, or call the waiting team, you got lung cancer from smoking?"
Wu Zhe shook his head.
"That's it, and you're still alive, aren't you? By the way, how did they treat it, did they cut out the cancer cells, or did they replace them with new ones? ”
"Get a new one." The policeman's attitude was even more unbearable than that of Dr. May.
"What kind of animal is it, someone else donated it, or did you get a cell and clone it yourself?" Officer Hou then asked, and Wu Zhe glanced at him, looking indifferent, as if he was talking about the menu for today's lunch.
But Wu Zhe still replied: "Implant human cells into animal cultures, and then take them out...... Dr. Mei just told him probably, and more technical details were actually checked by Wu Zhe himself on the Internet.
"Look," said Officer Hou, "when I get lung cancer in the future, why don't I just get another lung like you?" ”
Wu Zhe has nothing to say, in fact, in his time, it was very difficult to dissuade a person from smoking with lung cancer - the lowest factor that dominates people is still sensibility, and no one will do it if they have to pay the price of not getting pleasure now for the uncertain consequences in a few decades.
What's more, now that technology is so advanced, it seems that anything that breaks can be replaced.
The lights ahead began to turn on again, and pedestrians, shops, and vehicles appeared on the side of the road again. According to Wu Zhe's experience, this should be a new hibernation zone.
Sure enough, when passing through an intersection, Wu Zhe saw the advertising slogan of this hibernation area on a large roadside advertising screen: "No matter when and where, never doubt that heaven is here." ”
This hibernation area called Paradise is the place where the "Xia" game is opened, and the technical person in charge hibernates, compared to Noah, there seem to be a lot more people here, and it is also a lot more lively, Wu Zhe saw a lot of advertising words similar to "In the blink of an eye, it is another half a century ......" and "215o welcomes you".
According to the procedure, the awakening process of hibernation takes three or four hours, and in general, there is a 24-hour recovery period - mainly to allow the person to mentally adjust to the sudden change in time. But for those in the middle and upper echelons of the company, like those surveyed in this case, this process can be completely eliminated, and hibernation is part of their job, and in general, in an hour or two, they can wake up from decades of slumber and then go to work with full enthusiasm.
The technical director of "Xia" is a young man in his early 2o, Officer Hou has seen his resume on the road, almost ten years ago and then studied game design in college, after graduation was recruited by the current game company, at the beginning of their company was half dead, until five years ago, after opening "Xia", the company's stock went up like a rocket, in this process, this is called Bai Ling, the young man who was still an ordinary staff at the time should have played an important technical role, so now he has achieved the position of supervisor, He is responsible for the entire technical aspects of the game.
When he saw Officer Hou's police officer ID, Bai Ling probably guessed what he meant: "Is there something wrong with the game?" ”
"It's just a technical question, it doesn't take much time," Officer Hou said, "Your game, can you view the game history footage?" ”
"Historical video?"
"What did the player do in the game, and did you have a record in the server? Surveillance camera-like features? ”
Bai Ling shook his head: "We only have some important game plot recordings, or some players have taken the initiative to request the content of the recordings...... You'd better be specific and just talk about what you want to see. ”
Officer Hou clicked on the opposite side of the bed, gave the patient a display screen for entertainment, and then logged in to his account on the Internet, and played a video to Bai Ling - it was the surveillance camera in the game room at that time, and there were many students wearing school uniforms in the camera, two of them were wearing game uniforms of the "Xia" game, wearing glasses, and there were many onlookers next to them, and all of them were staring at the display screen opposite them - the real-time picture of the game was playing on it, but not all, only a small half of the bottom could be seen.
After playing for about dozens of seconds, in the game screen, the NPC fell, and the attention of the crowd changed from looking at the picture to watching the two gamers, and Xu Heng suddenly turned around in the picture, and then there was the murder. Immediately he was also electrocuted by the computer, and the crowd scattered and fled......
Officer Hou froze the surveillance footage, and the lips of the npnetpc moved, but no one knew what he was talking about - he came to find Bai Ling, hoping to use the technical means in the game to find the NPC to see if he was talking.
This detail is very important, if the NPC really said something like revenge for him, this homicide may have an adverse impact on the game company, and the severity of Xu Heng's murder will be lower, and if the NPC doesn't say it, it is Xu Heng lying.
Bai Ling watched the picture carefully a few times, picked up his mobile phone, made a call, and after a while, he went online by himself, and operated it remotely and in real time...... For more than 20 minutes, Bai Ling glanced at Officer Hou and said, "I can't find it, didn't you ask the other people who were present at the time?" ”
"I asked, some time before the NPC died, the two were arguing, and everyone didn't pay attention to the game screen, some people said they seemed to hear it, and some people said they didn't hear it, so we came to you."
Bai Ling shook his head: "If there is no preparation in advance, our company generally does not store the status of npnetpc is changing at any time, we will only record the status of the player, if there is a player who needs to restore the character for special reasons, we can use this state to restore the figure." But there are too many npnetpcs, we are all imported in bulk, supplemented according to the needs of the game, and even if the state of the npc is saved, we can't extract his previous behavior, and the current characters are all highly intelligent algorithms, and we have no way to know the details of an actor itself......"
Bai Ling said a lot of technical things in the game, Wu Zhe had heard some similar terms in class, but he still couldn't understand it in sentences. As for Officer Hou, he didn't seem to care about what Bai Ling said, and as Bai Ling was talking, he just lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.
But when Bai Ling stopped, he immediately asked, "You just said that your company's NPCs are all imported?" Didn't your game company design it yourself? ”
"You're talking about old game design. In a large-scale virtual game like the one that is popular now, the game company is only responsible for designing the scene and the game background, and the non-player characters in it are all bought from professional algorithm companies," Bai Ling looked at the two of them and explained by analogy, "Let's put it this way, this game is like our earth, our game company is responsible for creating the earth, the earth is built, the physical rules are designed, and then buy some primitive cells and let them evolve by themselves, and finally we see what he evolves into. And then according to the final feeling that there is a market to stereotype, publicize, promote, and put players in to play. Generally, the details in this world, if they don't affect the game experience too much, we don't interfere. ”
"Do you mean that what those NPCs will do and what they can do has nothing to do with your game company?"
Bai Ling glanced at Lao Hou: "I'm not shirking responsibility, if you ask me about the background of the game, or the big game plot in it, it may be designed by our company and done it ourselves." But if it's just a few players in the game PK killing, we don't know much, millions of players, we can't control it, can that NPC say that you want to avenge me, I really don't dare to pack a ticket, but you can ask the people of the algorithm company, the intelligent core of all NPCs, the motivation for behavior...... They know best, and that's what they specialize in. ”
Seeing that this answer didn't seem to satisfy Officer Hou, Bai Ling said again: "Then you go to the company with me and take a look at the game, you can know what I mean at a glance." ”
