Gu Tie struggled to wake up from his extremely deep dream and opened his eyes suddenly.

The panes cut the sunlight into messy shapes, and the sky was clear on an early autumn morning in Beijing.

He looked at the table clock in the corner of the house, at 9:15, it was quiet in the courtyard, and the housekeeper Zhao Boying had finished washing and sprinkling, walked through three trips, ate breakfast, and went out for a walk with the birdcage.

Gu Tie rubbed his temples.

Dreaming is not a pleasant experience for him, and dreams are often sticky like syrup, making it difficult for him to move, to breathe, and to drown.

The sleep clinic could not do anything about it, and advised him to immediately stop using brainwave interference devices to reduce REM sleep time, and that people could not live on light sleep alone. However, the few hours of playing games before going to bed last night made him relax, and Gu Tie couldn't wait to share this amazing thing with Xiao Liping.

"Find Lao Xiao. Gu Tie lifted the quilt, grabbed two handfuls of messy hair, snapped his fingers and said.

A few seconds later, a flat projection of Xiao Liping sitting at his desk appeared in the middle of the room.

Gu Tie pointed at him and snorted, "I really can't get tired of seeing you wearing this clothes." ”

Xiao Li said with a flat face: "Don't talk nonsense, the old man made a surprise inspection this afternoon, and held a meeting in fifteen minutes to arrange the reception work, and he had something to say." He sat behind his desk, white shirt, earth-blue jacket, no tie, neatly combed hair, and old-fashioned tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, looking ten years older than his age.

"Your old man?"

", that old man at the top. ”

"That's a big deal! I'll make a long story short. There is news from Shamchell that there is a game that is not quite like a game that has been launched globally simultaneously, and I tried it yesterday, and it is very good. If you are interested, come along. ”

"It's okay to be idle. What game?"

"You have a goal to strive for, so it's urgent, I'm just messing around, I have to find something to do. It's called 'World', fantasy background. ”

"Not interested. It's okay, I'm offline, wash your face. Xiao Li turned his head with a flat face and said, "Give me the Organ Affairs Bureau." ”

"Wait, wait, let me finish. First, only 1 million places will be released in the open beta for one year, and second, no public announcements will be released, and the places will only be randomly selected by universities, research institutions, government departments, and game companies from all walks of life. Interested?"

Xiao Liping frowned. "Sounds more like an anthropological experiment. I'll give you five more minutes to give you an introduction. ”

Gu Tiele was happy, "Put away your conspiracy theories." Listen, the development and running environment of this game is based on Genesis, that is, it is the first game in history to apply quantum computing technology. GTC was released in conjunction with a company of what the hell. The human-computer interface is EEG-type, and there is a probe for subcutaneous injection in the installation package, and voila, the syringe I received last night. ”

Gu Tie picked up a metal round tube packaged in a beautiful crystal box from the bedside table, "I have already injected it into my medulla oblongata last night, it is very simple, and it doesn't hurt at all. The 300-micron diameter probe is frighteningly integrated for receiving, interpreting, transcoding, and transmitting neural signals, and receiving, interpreting, transcoding, and transmitting network signals. It is said that it is processed by organic materials and microorganisms. ”

"You're saying that the game's client is completely detached from the terminal?"

"That's right, dear Minister Xiao. As long as you inject this gadget, in the place covered by wireless signals - that is, more than 95% of the world's human settlements - no matter you walk, sit, sleep, eat, drink and Lazar, you can log in to the game at any time, imagine that one second you are still doing piston sports with the second mother, and the next second you are slashing the evil goblin in the game, what a beautiful life on the surface. Gu Tiezui smiled crookedly.

"How much does the game intercept nerve signals?" Xiao Liping took off his glasses and looked solemn. "Also, I don't have a second wife. “

Autonomic Nerve Signaling, 0. Other, 90%. Retain the most basic perceptual abilities. This 10% is estimated to be used to keep one eye while sleeping to prevent the original partner from catching rape. Gu Tie said, grabbed an open carton of milk, looked at the production date, and poured it up.

"Does it hurt to wake up suddenly?"

"According to the information given to me by Chamcheel, there is basically none, and the human brain needs to make a judgment between the two situations. Since there is a 10% difference in perception, I believe everyone can figure out that they are back in the real world. By the way, her Western Institute of Anthropology and Behavior is one of the outsourced agencies for the game, responsible for 15,000 random sample accounts in North America, so the data is quite reliable. I'll pass it on to you. ”

Gu Tie snapped his fingers to bring up the menu, clicked a file in the air and sent it to Xiao Liping.

"Dr. Zuni Farha Komanche, whose real name is Shamcheer? Xiao Liping commented. He printed the documents out on a printer, bound them neatly, put on his glasses, and leaned back in a leather chair to read.

"So I prefer to call each other the names of the apostles, not because I doubt the security of quantum encrypted communication, but because of simplicity. Gu Tie crumpled the empty milk carton and threw it into the trash.

"And your bad taste, I've searched, those broken names are from a Japanese anime half a century ago. Xiao Liping glanced at him.

"I'd appreciate it if you could call it 'Legacy.' ”

"I'm not that naïve. Based on the 'Genesis' ...... Neuronal interface ...... Safety ...... of the probe Introduction to Game Technology...... Wait, what is Earth?"

"You, a green enemy and a die-hard tech-diehard, have discovered what printer paper can't show. Gu Tie clicked on the file and opened a three-dimensional animation demonstration in the chapter on the introduction of game technology.

There is a house standing on the beach, the tide comes and goes, the sun rises and sets, according to the timeline label, thirty years have passed quickly, the beach is still the same, the houses are still the same. The video freezes the comparison between the two screenshots at the beginning and the end, due to the erosion of the sea and the wind, the walls of the house after 30 years have small sand holes, the mud is peeling, and the pillars are crawling with barnacles, which is obviously dilapidated compared with 30 years ago.

"That's it? Any imbecile who can make videos can do it. Xiao Liping said.

Gu Tie waved his hand disdainfully, "You don't understand." In reality, it's scary-simple, but in the game, it's scary-complex.

If a game engine can fully simulate the movement of the atmosphere, hydrology, and crust, so that the environment can be changed independently by the basic variables, coupled with the conscious or unconscious transformation behavior of NPCs and players to the world, the environment will become full of unknowns after the game runs, completely out of the prediction of the game developer.

In other words, there is no difference between the game world and the real world in terms of realism except for the cultural background, isn't that scary? If it weren't for the developers bragging, they really built a world. -- With the power of Genesis, I believe this is not a fantasy. ”
