Only then did Bai Hongtu understand why Jiang Li had such a reaction when he saw the Feitian Group.
Feitian Group spent fifty years to bring the entire civilization into the virtual world.
And this was a thousand years ago.
"The so-called longevity and sleep nutrient solution can only make people live to two hundred years old. No wonder there are no living people in this world." Only then did Bai Hongtu understand why there was no living person in the outlined civilization.
This also proves that Du Ming is indeed dead.
"I remember Du Ming said that the Feitian Group spent a hundred years collecting data to create a virtual personality. The virtual personality has the same reactions as humans."
"You mean Du Ming is also a virtual personality?"
"Yes, I suspect that while Du Ming was using the holographic simulator, Feitian Company collected all of Du Ming's information, such as memory, physical strength, inner desires, etc., organized these into data, and after verification, could create a model similar to Du Ming's.
A virtual personality that shows no difference at all!”
When a person has the same memory, body, and thoughts as you, is this person you?
In Jiang Li's previous life, this was a philosophical question that would cause countless spats and no conclusion could be reached.
In Kyushu, this is an uncontroversial issue. Your soul has been reincarnated and this person is not you.
The unique soul is the criterion that distinguishes people.
The two of them have confirmed that Outline Civilization has neither living people nor souls, and the server is loaded with data.
"Let's go to the Feitian Group headquarters."
The two agreed that Feitian Group had a big problem.
The Feitian Group also has no survivors.
Arriving at the president's office at the Feitian Group headquarters, they found a confidential plan called the "Euthanasia" plan.
The plan is divided into four steps.
The first step is to use divine inspiration to develop technology.
The second step is to use the power of capital and technology to control the government.
The third step is to promote the virtual world as equal to the real world, give them a reason to escape reality, and voluntarily go to the virtual world.
The fourth step is to develop a holographic simulator's longevity and sleep nutrient solution to allow all human beings to enter the virtual world.
The plan was simple, but it was shuddering in the eyes of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy without any cover-up.
A two-hundred-year lifespan is just a moment for these two people, but for mortals, this is a feat that surpasses the natural longevity.
Who doesn’t want to live longer?
There is also a virtual world that is no different from the real world.
On the one hand, there is the cruel reality of studying at an early age, working hard as a young and middle-aged person, and enjoying a moment of tranquility in old age, as well as being subject to material constraints.
On the other side is a virtual world that is omnipotent and equivalent to gods, with ultimate freedom.
Who doesn't want to be free?
Longevity and freedom, the two things most creatures desire are placed in front of them, who can refuse them?
The only reason Jiang Li could think of for rejection was that the real world is real and the virtual world is fake.
But does authenticity matter?
"Fuck, who came up with this plan! Killing people without blood." Bai Hongtu yelled. There is a market for this thing in Kyushu. Bai Hongtu can guarantee that 99% of Kyushu people will choose to go to the virtual world.
"Here, this is the holographic simulator. Let's go meet Du Ming."
Bai Hongtu nodded and put on the holographic simulator, and the two of them came to the big world together.
Du Ming regarded Jiang Li as a friend and gave Jiang Li a communication method so that Jiang Li could find him at will.
"Brother Jiang is back so soon, um, and there are newcomers?" Du Ming noticed Bai Hongtu.
"This is Bai Hongtu. I happened to have something unfinished, so I came back." Jiang Li said with a smile, "I happened to see your nameplate, and then I realized that you are an ancient man from thousands of years ago, Brother Du. It's a pleasure to meet you."
meeting."
"Thousands of years?" Du Ming frowned, then felt relieved, "The speed of time in the small world can be controlled, but the big world does not display time. I didn't even notice that so much time had passed in the outside world."
"No, things have changed a lot outside now. We also discovered a continent with technology that is more advanced than ours, which shows that humans are not the only intelligent beings in the universe."
"And there is a world outside this world. We also discovered the world of immortality. People who cultivate the world of immortality can turn mountains and seas with their physical bodies. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
"Brother Du, do you want to go out and take a look?" Jiang Li looked at Du Ming eagerly.
Du Ming shook his head regretfully: "If I had just come in, I would have wanted to go out and have a look, but unfortunately I can't get out now."
"How could that happen?" Jiang Li asked knowingly.
"Brother Jiang... Although I am an ancient, there is no seniority in the virtual world, so I still call you brother. Brother Jiang should know that the nutrient solution can only let me live for two hundred years. Since the outside world has passed thousands of years, I have died of old age. Now
I am an electronic consciousness and cannot leave the virtual world."
"Dead?" Jiang Li was surprised. He was really shocked that Du Ming actually knew that he was dead.
"I can't remember how long ago it was. One day I suddenly lost consciousness and was disconnected. But I soon regained consciousness and could go to the big and small worlds freely. I thought there was something wrong with the server. Now that I think about it, at that time
I'm already dead."
"But it's not really dead. You see, I'm still conscious and can be considered alive, but I'm just living in a virtual world."
Du Ming didn't care about his own death.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu looked at each other. This virtual personality thought that he was the real Du Ming.
"Brother Du, I admire you for accepting death so calmly."
This time it was Du Ming's turn to be confused: "Didn't Feitian Company tell you before using the virtual machine?"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu didn't know what Feitian Company had said. Now Feitian Company's building is occupied by a group of wild dogs.
"Feitian Company said that soaking in nutrient solution will certainly make you live longer, but it will also gradually strip away your consciousness. Over time, you will no longer be able to return to reality, and at the same time, you will lose your reproductive function at the genetic level."
"Everyone who enters the virtual world will agree with this price."
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were silent.
They can't tell who is at fault.
Was Feitian Company wrong? The consequences were clearly told to people.
Is the user wrong? If the reality is not as desired, people are not allowed to go to the virtual world?
They can't even tell whether it's right or wrong.
Du Ming thought Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were depressed because they couldn't have children, so he comforted them: "In reality, it's just that they can't have children. It's not a big problem."
"For example, I only have one wife and one son in reality, but in my world, I have many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren."
"Then where is my sister-in-law now?"
Du Ming waved his hand: "I got married because of the pressure of life. The two of us made do and had no feelings. As for our son, he will be useless if he is not filial."
"It's not like my world. My wives are the most beautiful beauties in the world. They all really like me. My descendants are both capable and filial to me. I have long lost the contact information of my wife and son."
Jiang Li sighed in his heart, everyone voluntarily went to death and felt very happy. It was really a "euthanasia" plan, and the name was not wrong at all.
