Chapter 42: What the Future Holds

In March 197, a certain leaf of the Chanel tree in the dungeon of Paris, Keiko Yamakashi woke up.

A beautiful nurse who is traveling around the world in the spirit system receives the prompt of Dawn, quits the game, and pedals to the medicine room on a wheelbarrow to get some nutrient solution, nutrient lozenges, and a small can of carbon dioxide.

After waking up, Keiko Yamashi, who didn't have time to appreciate the new era and was anxious because she couldn't get in touch with the Lord, heard the sound of the mechanical door opening, looked around, but didn't find the door.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that the sound of the door opening came again, and she saw a young silver-haired girl holding a tray.

Looking past the girl, there is also a silver-white metal wall behind her: elevator? Sealed cabin design?

The girl put the tray on the table, walked to the bed, and said curiously, "Ma'am, you are so calm." ”

"When hibernators wake up, they ask things like, 'Are we victorious, are times getting better?'"

"But you didn't say a word."

Keiko Yamashimi felt fortunate that she didn't call the Lord, and it was really the right choice, in this era, surveillance is everywhere.

She looked at her badge and said, "Lady Nicole, can you tell me a little bit about this era?" ”

"Oh, this, I'm too lazy to talk about it, it's a waste of time, and my friends are still waiting for me to go back and make a mistake."

Nicole sat next to Keiko, slid out of the operation panel from the bedside table, and placed two metal discs with a diameter of 2.4 cm and a thickness of 5 mm to activate the operation at a specific position in the cabinet.

"If you want to understand this era, or history, just shout the dawn, and it will serve you."

"If it weren't for the fear that you would be scared, all the work that my student can do, Sister Shuguang can complete."

She is a child raised by socialization, and only this group of people likes to be called Sister Shuguang.

"Dawn?"

Keiko remembered Chen Xi, "Is it the artificial intelligence developed by Chen Xi, the wall-facing person?" ”

"Well, yes."

"Alright, your Source Realm is activated." Nicole taps two small discs to Keiko's temples.

Keiko felt as if her brain was being squeezed by something.

"It may be a little uncomfortable, just adapt, the source boundary is a superconducting material, and after being electrified, it can produce a super magnetic force, that is, electromagnets, they can attract and repel each other within three centimeters, otherwise it can squeeze our heads."

Keiko was shocked, this is a means of controlling people in the new era? She tried to take it off and found it easy.

"The system is very smart, and if you judge that you want to take it off, it will weaken the current."

Seeing Keiko's frightened expression, Nicole smiled: "Please rest assured, there is a physical structure responsible for safety within the source realm, and if the current is too large, it will burn the circuit and make the electromagnet fail." ”

"Okay, I'm leaving, and when the source realm initialization procedure is completed, you can check the information on the Internet by yourself, or ask Dawn."

"Now, I'll tell you something."

"Number one, about oxygen, you're already a new human, oxygen is toxic to us, there's a tank of carbon dioxide on the table, you have to get used to the feeling of inhaling carbon dioxide for photosynthesis."

New humans? Keiko remembered Chen Xi's other wall-facing plan, and it was successful? It's incredible.

"The air outside the house is dominated by carbon dioxide, and if you don't adapt to it in the ward, you will feel drowning when you go out, which is very uncomfortable."

"Second, about food, we are now producers, and there are very few substances that need to be ingested through the outside world, usually one lozenge a day is enough, the lozenges are spicy and sweet, distinguish by color, and read the instructions before eating."

"Photosynthesis also consumes water, so if you feel dry mouth, drink nutrient solution."

"When you are an adult, you have an excretion outlet, and if you want to eat vegetables and synthetic meat, you will spend money to buy them online and deliver them to your door, our hospital is poor, and we have no money to provide luxury services."

Keiko asked, "But I don't have any money?" ”

Nicole checked it and said, "Keiko Yamashi, a doctorate in brain science, according to the hibernation law, for four years, you will have 10,000 points of credit every month, if you want to continue to receive benefits, you can get a doctorate recognized by the World Academy of Sciences within four years." ”

"As far as I know, brain science changes a lot, and I suggest you change industries."

Keiko Yamakami was silent.

"Dawn, execute the source realm initializer."

With Nicole's command, the transparent glass instantly became opaque, the interior lights turned off automatically, and a robotic arm protruded from the other side of the bed with a large helmet on it.

Keiko asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"Analyzing the camera, I think it seems like you researched it? I haven't forgotten it, I can't remember it clearly. ”

"Just follow the instructions of the dawn later, the initialization will take about three hours."

Then, Nicole hurried away, and in her mind, work was not as important as playing games.

"Lady Keiko Yamashi, please recite the words I have projected, and try not to think about anything else."

Keiko calmed down: "Are you going to scan my brain?" ”

"Yes, you need to determine the neuronal activity of the brain after you see and hear words, colors, sounds, and the source world needs these data to affect your neural movements when necessary to achieve the results of virtual reality."

"What is necessary?"

Dawn directly plays a projection animation disguise: the source world receives a set of radios, which is a communication request, and then it emits a pin-like electromagnetic wave, which finely affects a certain part of the brain, causing it to produce neural electrical signals, and then the person 'hears' the sound.

After understanding the source realm, a bad premonition rose in Keiko Yamashi's heart: This thing is no different from the thought steel seal!

"Doesn't it harm brain cells?"

One can only hope that it will not be used on a large scale, but the likelihood is slim.

"Yes, but the brains of new humans are enough to heal this minor damage."

Three hours later, the initialization of the source realm was completed, and Keiko Yamakami got out of bed and walked to the square table to pick up the lozenge, and poured out one, thinking to herself what it tasted like.

Then, a couple of words appeared in the palm of the hand: citric acid.

After being silent for a long time, Keiko's arm drooped down, the lozenge fell to the ground, and she roared in despair:

"Tomoko! Host! I need you! ”

Tomoko typed text into her cornea: What?

Dawn asks: Are you an ETO?

……

Another nurse tried to activate the Source Realm initializer for Hines because of the same Chanel tree, but found that for some reason the bill could not scan the brains of the people facing the wall.

"Mr. Hines, it's a pity that you can't experience the most interesting things of this era because of your identity."

The suave Hines said, "It's okay, you guys have screens all over here anyway, and I can point to the wall." ”

"I'm curious about one thing, ma'am, what do you mean when you say that new humans don't have an excrement port before they reach adulthood?"

The nurse said with a big grin: "To put it simply, there is no hole below the neck, so we can't eat coarse grains, only nutrient solution and oral lozenges." ”

"Water and inorganic matter will be excreted through the skin, just take a bath frequently."

"Although the greenery project has been implemented for more than ten years, coarse grains such as fruits, vegetables, and meat still cannot be mass-produced, after all, the target is a variety of trees, and you can't afford to eat them if you want to."

Hines was silent for a long time, but he didn't expect that in a few hundred years, human beings would even change their species.

He asked, "What are the requirements for adulthood?" ”

"When you reach the age of eighteen, love arises."

"The latter is very, very difficult, the Academy of Brain Sciences, the Academy of Human Genetic Engineering, they can't figure out whether human love comes from physiology or psychology, so they are very violent to reduce the amount of hormones we secrete to close to zero."

"And in order to become an adult, to obtain sex, the secretion of hormones must be maintained at a very high level."

"The transition from childhood to adulthood takes about eleven weeks, and new humans must secrete enough hormones for eleven weeks in a row, otherwise they will degenerate into their original form."

Hines was surprised and said, "Won't humans lose the ability to reproduce?" ”

The nurse, who looks like a woman and has a personality like a man, said: "If you lose, you will lose, anyway, human civilization will be destroyed in two hundred years, and we don't have to let children be born to suffer, we just need to enjoy life for two hundred years." ”

"By the way, there are actually many people like you who have transformed from humans to new humans, and they have the ability to reproduce, but they don't live as long as we minors."

"Asexual people exchange their reproductive ability for longevity, and sexual people exchange their longevity for reproductive ability."

"Moreover, the new human technology was developed by the Academy of Sciences, and the original version in their hands is not so limited."

When Hines was about to ask about the Center of Faith, Dawn suddenly spoke, "Selena, please leave the ward. ”

"Okay, Sister Dawn."

"Mr. Bill Hearns, please prepare for the Wall-Facing Hearing, and it is in this room that your Wallbreaker has appeared."
