In a blink of an eye, it’s the day when the 6th test server will be launched.
It is now approaching New Year's Day, the old year is about to pass, and the new year is about to arrive. Canaan Company has chosen this day as the server opening day, which naturally has its profound meaning.
In Canaan, the 6-layer Magic Network has been built. Tens of thousands of newbie villages with unified specifications and models, large and small, throughout the public game area are ready to go. Thousands of 'copy-paste' functional NPCs have been
In place, a large amount of novice supplies have been raised. Old players will log off and log in with new players to wait for this important moment.
Offline, the grand server opening celebration has ended. The satellite live broadcast is still being replayed on TV programs in various countries and regions. The unified time of the world is approaching. The heated discussions on the Internet have fallen silent. Tens of millions of lucky people are waiting for the lottery.
Waiting to start your own second life journey.
The computer rooms of agents in various countries are also very busy. The so-called "black technology" is just "black" with a layer of specious skin but full of unclear things in its bones. The so-called source code can be understood in a single line. Once
When copied to other hardware, there are many errors and omissions, and all you get are some garbled codes with unknown meanings.
Without the mysterious function of the soul, it is impossible to replicate the miracle of Canaan using pure technological means, not to mention that the Canaan game can only be covered with a layer of the real world?
The few countries that have mastered the secrets of infinite matter and soul participation, such as North America, are unable to replicate the magical application of Canaan. However, the leakage of infinite matter and related technical means still allowed them to find inspiration. It is said, it is only said that the United States Congress
A copycat project that has been approved has been approved, and a huge budget has been allocated to try to develop a virtual world that is not inferior to Canaan.
This was the beginning of the conflict among Americans.
Deep down, they don't believe that Canaan is just a game, but all the evidence shows that it is. In the face of the increasing evidence, their previous inferences and conclusions become less reliable, and another group of voices supporting the opposite view gradually become louder.
I became more and more convinced that the Chinese people had indeed obtained an epoch-making metaverse virtual reality technology, and had made major discoveries and breakthroughs in the study of human consciousness, thoughts and even souls.
How can Lao Mi, who claims to be the Kingdom of God, endure this?
The reason why the men in Congress are so happy this time is that they have fallen behind China. Just like the Artemis plan to return to the moon, there is no room for them in the fundamental battle over the superiority of ideology and system.
Any flinching.
On the one hand, they are working overtime to produce their own imitations, and on the other hand, they need more Canaan operation data and technical secrets, so the Americans did not cause any trouble this time, and they are very cooperative in both the lottery and the current preparations for the launch of the server.
I asked Canaan's parent company in China to prepare a lot of preparations, but they were not used.
The huge countdown to the opening of the server in North America has reached the final stage of 10 minutes. More than one million lucky players across the country who won the lottery in the 6th test have all entered their respective game warehouses early. Capitalist countries are direct, and most of these players have received certain rewards.
With funding from some business groups, or becoming a collaborator of a certain research group, the high cost of equipment is not a problem at all. Almost everyone has one of the highest-level game warehouses, all of which are high-end goods imported from China.
In some poverty-stricken and turbulent areas, a game warehouse is a luxury product, and having a game helmet is already a blessing.
Even under the siege of behind-the-scenes operations, game qualification sales, game immigrants from wealthy developed countries, etc., the few lucky ones who win the lottery will still face high fees, robbery, kidnapping and even murder. It is almost impossible here.
There are no scenes of celebration, instead there are only smoke and messes left by violent protests, conflicts and fires.
The player's identity cannot be disclosed. If he can break through the siege and obtain game equipment, until the moment when the server is launched, the overall quality of the player is much higher than that of other countries and regions, and there is almost no good man or woman.
I won’t talk about the flash of swords and shadows behind this here.
In Times Square in Manhattan, North America, the New Year's bell was ringing with the arrival of the server opening day. Under the focus of countless cameras, in the center of the entire city's focus, Jonas, President of North America's Metaverse Affairs Group, pressed the button with a solemn expression.
with a symbolic red button.
"drop!"
The huge and crisp electronic sound is like a train whistle, signaling that this train heading towards a new era has begun to turn its wheels, heading towards a direction full of unknowns, hopes and challenges.
10.74 million game devices around the world are connected to China's 'servers' at the same time. Massive 'requests' are responded to almost instantly. The magic reserve unit on each device starts functioning and activates the corresponding magic.
Patterns flow in the complex and mysterious spell configuration.
Magic units and circuits start to work one by one, working together on the human brain.
Thousands of 'soul bodies' were born, and the observed separation of spirit and body caused all research institutions that were closely collecting 'data' to fall into great 'shock' or 'ecstasy'.
The 'code' of the soul was displayed on the screen like a waterfall, as if God had revealed his true face and fully demonstrated his authority to them.
"drop!"
It was also a sound of nature that stopped in Catherine's ears. This 14-year-old cheerleader of the rugby school team with a good family background, a good birth, and a beautiful and cheerful personality was chatting endlessly with her best friend about her nervousness and expectations.
After hearing this sound, he yawned without warning and naturally fell into a sweet sleep.
Outside the game warehouse, her parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents immediately opened the door and broke into her private space. They looked at the flashing, normal traffic lights on the game warehouse. The old, senior
The grandfather, a retired engineer, murmured a prayer to God and watched absentmindedly as his relatives opened the game cabinet, confirming that Catherine was just asleep and that nothing happened that they had been worried about.
"She...went to another world?", her mother Martha said in disbelief, "She looks like...she is dreaming?"
"It's the soul!" The grandfather was also in the midst of huge ideological contradictions and emotional ups and downs. The devout Protestant Christian looked at his granddaughter who was "peacefully asleep" with a complex expression, "They have interfered in the realm of God. This is too crazy, too
Crazy..."
Catherine didn't know that in reality she was being watched by her relatives, and that all the elements that made up her had been aggregated into a pure consciousness, and she was in a majestic temple.
This good girl who had never experienced any setbacks since childhood looked curiously at the statues standing on the temple. Under each statue there was a huge pedestal. From her angle and range of vision, she should only be able to see one
Yu is right, but now she can see all the statues in her eyes.
But each statue has only an outline, and the system gods it represents have different postures, some are gentle, some are stalwart, some are majestic, some are gloomy... The holy emblem on each base represents their priesthood.
field'.
Among them, there is a statue at the front. This is a goddess. The face and other details are also unclear. She holds a shield in her left hand and a pen suspended on a blank book in her right hand.
Artemis, the goddess of protection and records.
He is almost the same as the main god of the system, and his presence in the game is not strong.
[Souls who have come from afar, if you sign this contract, you will be recruited into a sacred and great cause, and go to a world full of unknowns, mysteries, and wonderful things to start another adventure in your life.]
Artemis's voice was surprisingly pleasant, and even though it was a translator's accent and her grammar was a little weird, Catherine fell in love with her right away.
Why not Artemis?
How wonderful the Moon Goddess is.
If she were the moon goddess, I would believe in her.
An ancient parchment scroll was unfolded in front of Catherine's consciousness. On it were the official terms of the game. Seeing that it had the seal of Canaan Company and the release number issued by the United States, Catherine was a little regretful - she really almost came just now.
She was immersed in the atmosphere and narrative created by the temple. This contract reminded her that it was just a game and everything was written manually.
"I do!"
[The contract is established, you are welcome to join, please choose the race you were born into. 】
"Elf!" Without hesitation, Catherine simply made a choice in her mind.
[Elf race selection successful!]
【You can now adjust the initial character.】
The most critical moment has come.
For Catherine, this was the greatest attraction of Canaan.
What could be more fun and exciting than changing the body of a character and starting another life full of unknowns and excitement?
A universal elf character template appeared in front of the pure consciousness. Various buttons and sliding bars could all be operated consciously. She told herself to calm down and recalled the face-squeezing data customized at a high price from a professional design company in China.
Plan, start by following the steps practiced hundreds of times on simulation software, and adjust the appearance of the universal character template.
It is a common problem for new players to waste a lot of energy on character creation before entering the game, but this is not necessarily the case. In some areas, players do not care at all about the height, beauty or ugliness of their characters.
In a land in the Middle East that is still ravaged by war, the roar of armored vehicle engines gradually fades away, and the shock wave of artillery shell explosions almost destroys this shelter built under the ruins. When the smoke and dust clears, a large man carrying an AK automatic rifle
The bearded man jumped out of the door curtain and walked in. The gun-toting woman guarding the entrance moved out of the way.
The tunnel in the ruins was extremely narrow, and some places had collapsed. Under the dim and swaying lights, tired figures sat on the ground. When they saw the leader coming in, they nodded silently.
The bearded man walked straight to a relatively intact cement house hidden in the ruins. The diesel generator next to it began to rumble. Several wires extended into the house and were connected to a silver-white drop-shaped game cabinet.
.
The sci-fi game warehouse is incompatible with the environment here. Under the flashing blue and green lights, a resolute, sleeping face appears in the leader's field of vision.
The leader's hand stroked the transparent alloy cover of the game chamber, as if stroking some priceless treasure.
Abdallah Hussein was also in a majestic temple, appearing in front of Artemis, the god of guardianship and witness, in the form of a pure consciousness.
[Souls who have come from afar, I feel that your soul is full of anger, confusion, unyielding and bravery. The Canaan world welcomes people with stories like you to join. By signing this contract, you will be recruited and thrown into a world.
In the sacred and great vision, go to a world full of unknowns, mysteries, and wonderful things to start another adventure of your life.】
"I do!"
[The contract is established, you are welcome to join, please choose the race you were born into. 】
The situation of Abdullah and Catherine was different. The race selection that appeared in front of him was a dark, huge and ferocious black shadow, marked with a hidden race - devil.
Most players have nothing to hesitate when encountering this kind of thing, but Abdulla is different. The hidden race of demons is not part of his plan, so it is ignored.
"Orcs!"
[Orc race selection successful! 】
The other character templates disappeared, and a burly, tall, and sturdy orc walked out of the shadows. He had a green face and fangs, carrying a two-handed ax as tall as a man, and roared silently.
The skinny sniper Abdullah fell in love with him immediately.
【You can now adjust the initial character.】
"default!"
He easily skipped the options that most players would waste a lot of time on.
【Please name your character.】
"Syria***"
[Sorry, the name contains prohibited words, please rename it.]
"***"
[Warning, please allude to reality, you still have one chance to name.]
Abdulla was a little regretful, but there was no surprise.
"The Lonely Warrior"
[A duplicate character name has been detected. Since the opportunity to rename has been exhausted, the system has added a special identification suffix for you]
[Character name: ‘Lonely Brave 123’ was named successfully, game ID generated: GD-X-10047. 】
[Character construction completed, do you want to log in to Canaan? 】
"Log in!"
Canaan, a map with more than 10,000 novice villages spread across the public game area, covering almost all resource points. The continuous white light makes the dark sky bright as day. Everyone is confused, sluggish, shocked, and in disbelief.
The figure was pushed and squeezed by the online players behind him, leaving the limited teleportation array and found himself in a simple novice village.
Catherine smelled a smell she had never smelled before, and the light stimulated her eyelids, causing her eyelashes that had been adjusted repeatedly to reach the perfect shape to tremble. She did not dare to open her eyes until she heard the sound coming from around her, from all directions, and from all directions.
It's like the whole world is sighing and screaming.
Her eyes opened, and she received the first ray of light from another world amidst the huge sound.
This ray of light illuminated the darkness and penetrated into her soul, making her feel as if she had been shot and hit by something.
