001 From Earth to Another World (Prologue)
The story takes place in a forest, where the scenery is beautiful and the vegetation is quite primitive.
Only a "behemoth" in the middle of the forest affects this natural beauty.
It can be seen to the naked eye that the so-called behemoth is a huge machine-made object, and in the sunlight, the bright silver luster shines brightly, and from a distance, it looks like a ship stranded on the ground, but if you look closely, you will find that its exposed part is at least a thousand meters high.
Just today, a discordant voice came from the machine-made artifact that broke the silence of the forest:
The loud roar of the machinery, as well as the high-frequency sound waves generated by the rapid charging, caused the birds and beasts around it to flee in panic.
This huge stranded "vessel" has its own name:
Alpha Mobile Fortress.
The culmination of the Empire's mechanical technology, it left the Imperial space station in 1982 in the Rhine Era and was commissioned by the Council of Elders to carry out an exploration mission to the Abyss.
But today's Alpha Mobile Fortress, like a dehydrated fish, is struggling on this land, moving the fortress, and it is completely immobile for the time being:
The only person left in the fortress is the former "boss" of the fortress.
A burly body about three meters tall, with loose hair and a scruffy beard.
This is Qiu Wen, a macho man.
"147, are you reliable?"
"I did what you said, and I repaired everything that should be repaired step by step!"
This is the lowest level of the fortress: a separate laboratory in the experimental function area, the walls are covered with light screens and inactive conduits, and the roar of machinery is heard from here.
Qiu Wen was lying on a metal platform that matched his figure, listening to the loud mechanical noise, and at this time he was impatiently knocking on the platform, while questioning the central brain of the Alpha Mobile Fortress:
It is the floating shadow of the light curtain in the air, the color is azure, and the various symbols surround the edge of the light curtain, making its overall shape like a diamond shape elongated on both sides.
In the diamond is a symbol that can represent the basic emotions of artificial intelligence.
For example, now it is "! ”。
It is the brain that is the center of the fortress, and 147 is its name or codename.
"Boss, don't worry, Alpha is a more delicate machine than me, maybe we should be patient."
147's tone is somewhat mischievous, and its voice is an electronic synthesized sound that resembles a human male.
The more it said this, the less impatient Qiu Wen became:
"I hope you can't make a mistake in your calculations."
After the fortress fell here, basically everything that should be bad was broken, and what shouldn't be broken was also broken.
To put it simply, it's all broken.
At that time, he had only just learned to control this body, and it was difficult for him to even escape into the void.
In particular, after the teleportation device used to travel between the various functional areas was damaged, the fortress had to use the most primitive goods elevator to go up and down the stairs.
With a total height of nearly 1,000 meters, Qiu Wen ran up and down four or five times, and he had to exclude the time when he went out to collect materials.
In this long process, he learned to think about life.
"You can always trust 147!"
147's diamond-shaped light screen was marked with three "! ”。
As soon as it finished speaking, a mechanical and electronic voice sounded completely different from the sound just now:
"The teleportation device has been successfully activated"
"Connecting with the target consciousness"
Suddenly, the dazzling conduction device stretched out from all corners of the laboratory, reaching out to all parts of Qiu Wen's body like tentacles, especially the brain, and the dense wires made him stunned when he looked at it.
"Node Detector for the Hub to Request Calls to the Void Teleporter"
"This operation requires the permission of the highest privileges"
Qiu Wen felt as if he was entangled in something, but this feeling was not uncomfortable, if he had to describe it, it was like wrapping himself in a quilt when he just woke up.
Hearing the center's request for permission, Qiu Wen was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
It turns out that he is the highest authority:
"Allowed."
"The hub is checking the integrity of the device"
"The center is checking the stability of the device"
"Void Teleporter Activating"
Suddenly, the light screens on the four walls of the laboratory lit up at the same time, and the staggered catheters began to fill with bright blue energy.
"Please release the Void Sense and wait for the ......"
Qiu Wen took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the surface of his two eyes was covered with a layer of black substance, exuding an energy fluctuation reaction visible to the naked eye.
An inexplicable feeling instantly filled Qiu Wen's senses: he could clearly see everything outside, the light screens on the surrounding walls, the floating light curtains, and the conduction devices connected to his body.
But he was really no longer in the space he saw, he could only see, but not feel.
No hearing, no taste, no touch......
That's what the void feels like.
"The device successfully communicates the void"
Detecting anchor points
"Warning: The anchor distance error is too large, and a secondary calculation is in progress."
"Impossible, how can I not even count one plus one wrong?!"
As soon as the mechanical electronic voice finished speaking, the naughty-voiced artificial intelligence just now immediately came out to refute, and a string of exclamation marks suddenly lit up on the diamond-shaped light screen.
Qiu Wen nodded, everything was as he expected.
Of course, he didn't expect 147 to miscalculate.
The problem is not in the center, but in himself:
He is no longer the ontological consciousness that escaped from the abyss before, this body, he is a dove occupies the magpie's nest, and his real consciousness comes from another world.
In short, he crossed.
The principle of the device is to communicate the current location of consciousness with the mark left by the last transmission, forming a channel.
Therefore, the anchor point of the current device positioning should be in the world where it once was, the earth.
"Calculated and resetting anchors"
"Once set, the surrounding consciousness body will be automatically retrieved"
On the largest light screen in the laboratory, a radar-like figure appeared.
As the pointer swept, all the surrounding consciousness bodies appeared in the form of photoelectric light in the figure, densely packed, almost more than the stars in the sky.
"Oh no, Boss, where is this?"
147 exclaimed.
Qiu Wen was silent, all this was reasonable, he expected it, but this result was in front of him, and it still made him a little unacceptable for a while.
The original plan was to use Qiu Wen's own power to create a batch of bodies composed of abyssal matter, and then use the teleportation device to "summon" the consciousness bodies of the crew members who were still wandering in the abyss.
Like a conjuring, resurrect the crew.
The Moving Fortress was badly damaged in the process of escaping the Abyss, and now it has fallen into an unknown no-man's land, trying to restore communication but there is no signal at all, if you don't want to be Robinson forever, at least repair the fortress first.
However, repairing the fortress requires manpower, especially, a lot of equipment and instruments, it is not so easy to repair, only Qiu Wen himself is afraid that he will have to work until the year of the monkey, the most important thing is that the backup energy can really last so long?
That's why this crew is crucial.
Of course, this is all the logic of 147, and its logic believes that the fortress's mobility should be restored, otherwise once the backup energy is used up, the Alfa Mobile Fortress will turn into a huge pile of scrap metal.
Obeying orders is its highest priority, followed by protecting the mobile fortress as much as possible.
And Qiu Wen has his own thoughts, coming to this world is a complete accident, this life belongs to being picked up for nothing, if he is really allowed to choose, he would rather stay on the earth and be the ordinary otaku who is happy every day.
But it's all here, don't cry and cry thinking about going back, on Earth, he is dead, and this is irreversible.
Originally, they all accepted the fact of crossing over, but suddenly they told him that they still had a connection with the original world.
And then what should I do?
Qiu Wen pinched his fist, which was really the size of a sandbag, of course, the kind of sandbag on the construction site, not the kind that was skimmed around when he was a child.
He wasn't quite used to his body, especially the explosive power it contained, and when you think about it, not long ago, he was an ordinary person who hadn't undergone any physical exercise, working as a game designer, often sitting all day, and his physical weakness had always been with him.
It's different now, this fist goes down, Qiu Wen feels that it can be compared to the big pendulum used for demolition.
He knew he wasn't the same person he used to be, but he couldn't be who he used to be.
This sudden crossing brought him not only a sense of separation from the world, but also a sense of dangerous loss.
"Boss, it's definitely not an abyss there, is our plan still being implemented?"
The words of 147 made Qiu Wen's thoughts drift back again.
Suddenly, a cold sweat came out of his head, Qiu Wen recalled the experience of his predecessor, and those memories lingered in his heart like a nightmare.
The abyss, both the power he controls, and the monster that will devour him at any time, if he can't keep himself awake forever, once he loses himself, the abyss will immediately assimilate him.
Reduced to the same fate as the predecessor.
It was just a moment of trance that made Qiu Wen make up his mind:
He's going to do something with this channel.
Only by doing something can people not lose themselves in confusion.
"We're going to implement Plan 2!"
Qiu Wen disconnected the teleportation device, stood up from the platform, and paced back and forth in the room.
After sorting out his thoughts, he found a very important problem:
There is no teleportation device on the earth, how can there be so many consciousness bodies.
If a person's consciousness is honestly contained in his body, it will not be detected.
The moment he asked himself, he had the answer in his head.
Before he crossed over, Qiu Wen's dream as a game designer was to make a popular game, for which he taught himself programming, art design, and music production as a student......
It was when he had been working for a game company for many years that he had become a true game designer and was about to show his ambitions and plan his first blockbuster game.
A sensational news that swept the world put his plans to a halt:
Huaxia's virtual reality technology has achieved a major breakthrough, and the virtual reality equipment is completely cabbage price, and the technology is about to be fully commercialized.
Virtual Reality Technology......
Qiu Wen had an immature thought in his heart:
"147, help me check the calculations, simulate the operation of the teleportation device, the teleportation of the consciousness body in the target area to the fortress, whether there is a problem with the path, and the expected value of attrition."
"Roger, Boss, leave this one-plus-one problem to me."
"Calculating ......"
Soon, in front of Qiu Wen's eyes, data appeared on the diamond-shaped light curtain that made him dizzy.
Invoking the memories of his predecessor, Qiu Wen struggled to identify the information he needed.
After a while, Qiu Wen gradually frowned.
Still can't read it.
"147, you give me the conclusion."
"Boss, there is no problem with the path at all, the transmission of the consciousness body is only transmitted in the shallow void, if you use your ability to create a perfect container, then the loss value is completely negligible."
Qiu Wen nodded and gave his next order:
"Very good, 147, let's do the experiment, I'll open another void channel, you'll be in charge of establishing the communication, I want to know if our data can be transmitted to the target area."
"Roger, Boss!"
"The Void Teleporter is restarting"
Loading Communicator
"The program is not responding to ......"
"Boss, you know, sometimes it's a matter of luck whether a freshly programmed program works or not."
Qiu Wen was completely disappointed with 147.
