"Break the barrier".

This is the title of this simulation. Ye Zhou looked at the gradually disappearing subtitles, restrained his mind and began to observe the surrounding environment.

This is a futuristic world, surrounded by countless tall buildings. Perhaps because of the advancement of materials science, those things that are still "story" in concepts actually have no shape as buildings.

In order to reduce the occupation of the ground, most buildings are supported by a slender column. After reaching up for dozens of meters, they begin to gradually expand at a certain height, and veins support a huge platform. From Ye Zhou's perspective, this is more like a... mushroom city.

In addition to the buildings whose foundations are still on the ground, Ye Zhou also noticed a small number of relatively small buildings suspended in the air. These buildings obviously did not use anti-gravity technology that exceeded the limits of human technology, but still used the principle of reverse impulse, suspended in the air like a giant mothership.

Ye Zhou could see the hot wakes ejected from those buildings, and there were no other buildings under these buildings because the strong winds they rolled up were not suitable for people to live in at all.

But what is the significance of such a design?

Ye Zhou's doubts just appeared, and a subtitle suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Suspended convenient buildings are generally used by organizations that require frequent transfer, such as professional construction companies and construction inspection agencies, migratory bird factories, high-end planting companies, large-scale service industries targeting specific groups, etc.."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that it was the BCI chip implanted in his brain that was working.

When BCI transmission technology develops to its extreme, the human brain will perfectly merge with computers, and the world in human eyes will begin to change accordingly.

As Ye Zhou's thought flashed, a menu began to appear in front of him:

"Simple Mode (Current)".

"Information Mode".

"Knowledge-seeking mode".

He tried to switch the BCI chips to work differently, and what he saw also changed differently.

These three modes are divided according to auxiliary information density. In the simple mode, the information density is the lowest, while in the knowledge mode, almost all the surfaces of the object are mixed with introduction labels about them.

Ground tracks for personal travel, huge artificial fill light walls, and green plants transformed by genetic technology...

What surprised Ye Zhou the most was that in this world, the billboards and neon lights that appeared most frequently in the concept of cyberpunk completely disappeared.

All buildings and facilities reveal a minimalist aesthetic, with smooth walls and unified color schemes that make people feel like they are in a postmodern painting.

Of course, this does not mean that the advertisement disappears. In fact, Ye Zhou has seen a prompt on removing advertisements in the brain-computer interface, and this function seems to be open to everyone and does not need to be closed for a fee like in some fantasy novels.

This is also an easy thing to understand. When productivity develops to the extreme, the competition among enterprises will reach an almost absolute transparency. Even if the advertising does not disappear, its effect has dropped significantly.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath and took his thoughts back from the impact of this future world. Then, a large amount of information about the simulation background quickly poured into his mind - this time, the inflow of information flow was almost milliseconds.

From the background, he knew his mission.

In this era, as Ye Zhou saw, the development of BCI technology has reached an extremely high level. Almost all human activities are integrated with BCI technology. Few people insist on refusing BCI chip implantation.

Human information interaction methods have undergone earth-shaking changes. A large amount of information is inherited in the central quantum server and distributed to each individual. Each human information source is gathered together to form a brand new "Internet".

This is an extremely efficient way of information interaction, but the problem is that behind every seemingly perfect solution, there are often crises. For example, now, the human world is facing a frequent threat.

“Virtual Invasion.”

Through transmission channel interference and virus invasion, some groups can directly cross the BCI firewall and manipulate the BCI chip to send information to the human brain, changing the sensory information received by the human body, thereby creating a world completely different from reality for them.

When such an invasion is at its worst, it can cover an entire small city, that is, when a virtual invasion occurs, the humans in the entire city live in the same dream.

Now, the city in front of me has actually undergone a virtual invasion, but the invaders did not launch a full-scale attack immediately, and the people in the city are still acting in accordance with their normal living order.

No one knows when the attack will happen, and no one knows what form the attack will happen. What Ye Zhou can do is to find out the "source of interference" of this invasion and find ways to destroy it.

Isn't this a variant of the matrix?

Isn’t destroying the source point equivalent to feeding everyone a red pill?

Ye Zhou cursed secretly, his first reaction was to physically cut off the power supply of the BCI chip. The prompt message that was originally flashing disappeared immediately, and the real world appeared in front of him.

Fortunately, this world is no different from the world he has seen before.

He breathed a long sigh, shook his head, dispelled the brief sluggishness after the BCI chip was turned off, and then embarked on his personal track and began to go to the destination of his trip.

It was a building called "outdoor island", where all the people living were full-time staff without BCI chips. Their organization was called "Emergency Response Supervision Team", and the people gave them a more secondary, but more appropriate name:

Breaking the barrier.

In their eyes, there is no illusion.

To solve the virtual invasion crisis of this city, we must first find these group of obstacle-breaking people.

The personal rail transit that Ye Zhou called him also made him feel very novel. He seemed to be paved with strong magnetic tracks under the ground--or the entire ground was actually made of variable magnetic material. As long as he entered the suspended cockpit, the cockpit would begin to move along the planned route.

After just over a dozen minutes, Ye Zhou had already crossed half of the city and came to the extremely special old low-rise building that was almost unique in this world.

The building is only five stories high, and the decoration style is almost no different from Ye Zhou's own era--even older. Ye Zhou walked to the artificial booth, because the BCI chip had been closed, and after identifying identity through the face and iris, he successfully entered the building.

And there, there were already people waiting for him.

"Ye Zhou is right? I am Liu Dong, just call me Da Liu. I am responsible for the unified command of this operation and now I will share information."

While talking, Liu took him to the conference room, then pointed to the screen and continued:

"We have analyzed the source of interference. The other party's interference mainly relies on the relay interference method. They invaded the communication channel from personal terminals to terminal base stations through high-energy particle interference, and tampered with the transmission information there."

"At this stage, they have not yet carried out large-scale bci information tampering operations. We speculate that it is possible that they have not completely broken through the brain computer firewall, but as the AI ​​virus interprets the normal signals of human brain activity deepens, it is a matter of time before bypassing the firewall."

"Based on the experience of the previous attacks, they may manipulate brain machines to tamper with perceptual signals, lure victims to perform dangerous actions, and cause large-scale panic."

"What is their purpose?"

Ye Zhou asked with a frown.

"It's unclear yet. The world's investigation of this organization is still on the surface. They are like ghosts, unable to understand."

"However, according to the intelligence, most of the current attacks are actually some kind of temptation--their fundamental purpose is not to kill people, but to control people."

"If their technology is further mature and combined with certain psychological means, they are likely to have a subtle influence on most people's worldviews, change their inherent behavior patterns, and thus achieve their interests."

"To give a very simple example, they can modify visual signals in a small scale to make a certain color appear more frequently in the victim's world, thereby achieving aesthetic guidance and inducing victims to prefer related products."

"Of course, although I say this is a simple example, their current operations obviously cannot reach this level. Now their interference with the signal is broken, chaotic, and endogenous -- to put it simply, creating illusions."

"This kind of interference can easily cause group chaos and is also very dangerous. Therefore, our task is very heavy."

After hearing Liu's words, Ye Zhou nodded slightly and asked:

"What is the plan? Do we have clues about this organization?"

“There are clues.”

Da Liu waved his hand and a whole city map appeared on the wall, with several highlights marked on the map.

"These three areas are the central area of ​​interference intensity we have detected now. We judge that the interference base stations they arranged are likely to be located in these areas."

"We will take direct measures. Xiao He and Lao Chen, I, each of us, led a team to arrest me directly. You follow me."

“Is it dangerous?”

Ye Zhou asked frowned.

"There are definitely some, but their equipment and weapons are relatively backward. It's not a big problem to wear protective equipment."

"You are also an experienced veteran soldier, and you should be able to deal with this problem. By the way, I suggest you turn off the BCI system in advance, even if you are not even a military network, and after you get to the core area, the protection difficulty will increase step by step, and your BCI is also risky."

"Understood."
