Chapter 17: Shadows in the Game
"You know what? In my calculations, there is a more than 80% chance that this coordinate is a trap. β
Tang Zhe'an said to Lu Yuanming in private: "This naturally can't be put on the table, because as the name suggests, the coordinates of hope, this is the only hope we have to break the sterilization curse now, so even if we know that this is a pit, we have to jump in, but after this incident, the probability that this coordinate is a trap is only about fifty percent." β
Lu Yuanming asked in surprise, "Why?" Obviously, there are problems with these coordinate points, if it is really according to your speculation, the smaller the faster-than-light magnification, the greater the probability of being attacked, and the greater the magnification, the greater the probability of getting rewarded, isn't this artificially arranged? β
"Yes, the Golden Race arranged, is there a problem?"
Tang Zhe'an looked at Lu Yuanming in surprise and said, "The golden race of the Golden Age, aren't they the alliance army attacking the high-dimensional fear?" Although I don't know how the Golden Alliance failed in the first place, if there is really a golden legacy, it must also be left by this coalition army, could it be that they are full of food and support, and think it is fun to leave some legacy? That must be to fight against high-dimensional fear and those god corpses, in this way, the screening mechanism makes this coordinate more real, otherwise do you think the god corpse and high-dimensional fear will make the screening mechanism? β
Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment, he followed Tang Zhe'an's logic and thought about it for a while, the weak ones were eliminated, and the strong ones were rewarded, this is indeed a complete set of screening mechanisms, but if this screening mechanism is really left by the golden race, it is too cruel......
"Think it's too cruel?"
Tang Zhe'an didn't even need Lu Yuanming to speak, he said directly: "You're too naΓ―ve, aren't you?" This is not a pretend game, this is the cruelest truth and reality in the icy universe! What is that high-dimensional fear? That is the source of all the turmoil and terror, the future ...... I mean, why is the dark matter world on our original timeline so full of demons? β
"Human civilization has just been reduced to dimensions, and immediately there are demons dancing around, all kinds of ghosts, indescribable, and things that don't know what they are are already waiting, as if they are eating, surrounding the human civilization that has not yet been completely reduced to be devoured, do you think that kind of scene is normal?"
"What a great terror the Golden Alliance is fighting against! It's a war with the whole universe as a unit, in this case, not to mention a mere screening mechanism, it is to make all the cosmic civilizations stronger and raise the Gu Kings in the way of generating, concentrating, and raising Gu, I don't think it's unusual, but it's just a screening mechanism, screening out the weakest civilizations, those unqualified civilizations, and those civilizations that may be held back in this war between the gods and the golden race, it's not cruel at all, right? β
Lu Yuanming was silent.
Although he still knew that what Tang Zhe'an said was true, this attitude of completely treating other civilizations as ants and pawns still made him a little unable to let go.
Ever since he learned about the Golden Age, the Golden Race, and the Golden Spirit in the mouth of the Demon Ace, Lu Yuanming has actually always had an inexplicable good impression of the Golden Race, which is a kind of longing, and that is a kind of expectation for the ancestors to rise up in a desperate situation.
Because according to Ace, in addition to not getting the inheritance of the gods, human beings can actually be regarded as a member of the golden race, and this spirit of unity, sacrificing courage, and never giving up in the face of all difficulties and dangers is precisely the golden spirit.
At this moment, he heard such a screening mechanism in Tang Zhe'an's mouth, and it was very likely that it was a screening mechanism left by the golden race, and his heart was really complicated and unspeakable now.
But what needs to be done still needs to be done.
What human beings need most now is to confirm what the situation on that side is, whether there is really an extreme cosmic environment, or is there really some hunter lurking in the dark, or is it a screening reward mechanism as Tang Zhe'an said?
In order to test the situation on that side, humans fired three curvature bubbles in a row in the following time, all of which were replaced by drones, and small curvature bubbles, which were ten times the speed of light, five times the speed of light, and three times the speed of light.
According to calculations, ten times the speed of light will reach the region in seven and a half months, then more than a year, and three years later, respectively, to get the feedback results of these three launches.
This is really an impossible result, even if it is a means of faster-than-light curvature navigation, the scale of the universe is too large, and it will take three years for human beings to get all the feedback results, which is actually considered lucky, otherwise it may take decades, hundreds of years to get a result.
The situation encountered by the exploration ship is classified as a special secret, and it is naturally impossible to leak it to the people, otherwise it may cause panic, so in the following time, the people are still working diligently, whether it is the mothership Universe Emperor, or the space fleet and mecha, all of them are under stable construction according to the plan.
On the other hand, although Lu Yuanming was anxious, he couldn't think about it now, after contacting the exploration ship many times and confirming that the exploration ship was still moving forward unharmed, he could only continue to focus on his work.
Of course, there was another thing he hadn't forgotten, and that was endless roulette.
At that time, he was interrupted by the sudden encounter with the exploration ship, and afterwards he found Tang Zhe'an to ask about the endless roulette, Tang Zhe'an naturally denied it, but under the "threat" of Lu Yuanming forcibly pulling him home, he finally relented.
"That's right, I did find traces of the Endless Roulette."
Tang Zhe'an said with an unhappy face: "This thing has killed many human beings, and after many big carnivals, it has indeed grown, just like in the later big carnivals, Zhang Hanqi can't enter one of them, it has some kind of intelligent judgment program, which can distinguish whether life is a threat to it or not." β
"Obviously, when we return, your strength is too strong, so strong that even if it is not allowed to enter it, you can directly shatter it, so it will not dare to continue to haunt it, but that does not mean that it has left...... The containment object is likely to be something similar to special dark matter. β
Lu Yuanming asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" What is a containment object, most likely something like a special dark matter? β
Tang Zhe'an spread his hands and said: "Isn't this a guess, your special dark matter block can be compatible with both the material world and the dark matter world, and has almost miraculous power, in a way, this actually violates the basic physical laws and conceptual logic, and isn't the same with these containments?" It's just that one is controllable, and the other is uncontrollable, so I have this speculation, these containments are likely to appear because of our human civilization itself, as for how it came about, and how it came to be, I don't know, in short, these things can't exist separately from human beings, this is my conclusion. β
ββ¦β¦ Is it parasite-like? β
Lu Yuanming was thoughtful.
The Endless Roulette is a containment object that has not yet been contained, and its existence has been three or four thousand years old from the outside world, and tens of thousands of humans have died at its hands, and according to records, the Endless Roulette is indeed constantly evolving.
"So where is the Endless Roulette Wheel now?" Lu Yuanming asked.
"In the game."
Tang Zhe'an said frankly that he only recently discovered this situation, that is, people's enthusiasm for games began to rise, and some time ago there was even a public opinion asking for the creation of virtual reality, and even forced the government to carry out experimental tests of virtual reality in the world of Xianxia Order, if it weren't for the problem with virtual reality, and there was a big problem, it is likely that the human world has been researching and developing.
ββ¦β¦ I was a little strange at the time, people's pursuit of entertainment is indeed eternal, and it is normal for people to be satisfied with lust and lust, but why is it at this time? Logically speaking, although we have achieved brilliant results after the first five-year plan, the sterilization curse is still a hurdle that we cannot overcome, and people will have a need for entertainment, rest, and play, but if they want to form public opinion, there are some problems. β
Tang Zhe'an said: "So I took a look at the citizen information behind these public opinions, and found that these citizens are all game fanatics. β
Lu Yuanming asked strangely, "Is there anything wrong with this?" β
ββ¦β¦ No problem, the problem is their schedule. β
Tang Zhe'an took out a form and said: "They have various types of work, logically speaking, their schedules should be completely different, you can't ask a worker who is mining in outer space to commute to work on time like a clerk on the moon, and wake up from sleep at the same time, right?" But in my survey report, these people who are the most intense in the public opinion of virtual reality, their schedules are basically the same, every ten to fifteen days or so, they will inevitably stay up one day, and they stay up almost all night, and at this point in time, they are all playing games. β
Lu Yuanming hesitated: "Could it be that the same game is doing something?" I also stayed up late a few days ago, and a new online game is doing activities, it's so fun......"
Tang Zhe'an glanced at Lu Yuanming with disdain for a few moments, and then he shook his head and said, "No, they are playing different games...... Even some people are not playing games, watching TV, watching animations, watching variety shows, or chatting all night, understand? These people go online every 10 to 15 days with the same routine, no matter what they're doing. β
"So, I think I've found the Endless Roulette, a containment with a gaming concept, and now it's in our internet!"
"And the explosion of public opinion in the virtual reality is also the result of its guidance, and it wants to let us all humans enter the world of 'game'!"
