Lu Zhengkang was lying on the white hard bed in the dormitory, thinking about nothing, just closing his eyes and relaxing.
The game is so majestic, and the sense of gap after returning to reality will inevitably make people feel confused.
Each internal tester has an exclusive psychological counselor. These psychological counselors are qualified to make emergency calls during the game. Once they determine that the internal tester's mental state is not good, they can exercise this power unconditionally. All they need is
Just submit a report afterwards.
During the internal testing period, the consultants will watch the internal testers' game play in real time. During the public beta period, the consultants will follow the game and come to the internal testers for real-time supervision.
The status of internal testers in "Three Worlds" is actually equivalent to the wall-facers described in "Three-Body Problem", but because of the larger number, the power is correspondingly smaller. But even so, one's own players still need to obey the internal testers unconditionally.
Testers' orders, during the open beta period, their official name is Commander.
Lu Zhengkang is now a lieutenant, at least among the five internal testers in Jiangzhe City, he has the highest level. After entering the game, the other four people also need to listen to his command.
No amount of thorough preparation in advance can guarantee that everything will go on the predicted track.
Especially for special personnel such as commanders.
The counselor's presence is the limiting valve.
Someone knocked on the door, and Lu Zhengkang got up from the bed. The visitor was his consultant, a man in his thirties, very thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Unfortunately, he was from the Mediterranean. Lu Zhengkang didn't know his full name, he only knew that he
His surname is Tang, and this is not necessarily correct. Lu Zhengkang always calls him Master Tang.
Lu Zhengkang had long guessed that Master Tang's identity was not simply a professional psychological counselor, but a civil servant, just like the greasy-headed Zheng Qilu.
"Master Tang, please."
Master Tang nodded to him. He is a very down-to-earth person who does not give people the impression of being condescending. At first glance, he looks like a seasoned veteran. Relatively speaking, Master Tang does not have that serious and serious temperament. Faced with
When Lu Zhengkang was a minor, he maintained great restraint and carefully hid the tedious principles of adults.
Master Tang brought a bottle of mineral water and a stack of folders, "Are you free? Let's talk about two yuan."
Lu Zhengkang nodded and closed the door. Master Tang sat beside the bed. Lu Zhengkang brought a chair and sat opposite him.
Master Tang took a sip of water and spread the folder on the bed. "Your report is out. It's as good as ever. The (virtual consciousness immersion) index is 0.1, and the immersion may be low."
Lu Zhengkang sat upright and smiled heartily, "We are staunch successors of socialism, and our qualities are beyond words."
Master Tang grinned, "You kid, just get along with me and stop talking about these useless things. I'm here to see you for a serious business."
"Oh, it turns out that I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I thought Master Tang was just looking for me to catch up with old times."
"Seriously, I have a mission when I come here this time. I have some things to explain to you alone."
Lu Zhengkang sat upright and straightened his collar.
"I'm here mainly to tell you a little bit about the situation of foreign players."
"Okay." This is fresh, completely fresh news.
Master Tang sorted out his documents one by one and explained as he read: "As of the end of February this year, the foreign population has basically entered the virtual world set by rA9. The situation is worse than we imagined. Due to the Zhimeng
Due to the strong blockade, it is difficult for us to know the situation in the outside world, but fortunately, the unremitting efforts of the comrades in the intelligence work have finally given us a little understanding of what is happening in the world.
"rA9 is crazier than we thought. We originally thought it would just let people enter the simulation cabin, but Zhimeng's choice is to upload human consciousness, which means that they do not need to rest and are players around the clock."
Lu Zhengkang felt his scalp numb after hearing this, but he still sat upright and couldn't help but ask, "But what about their bodies?"
Master Tang handed over a photo, and Lu Zhengkang took it and took a look. It showed rows of glass jars filled with red liquid. Human bodies with tubes in the back of their heads could be vaguely seen. Humanoid machines were around the jars.
During the patrol, the environment was dark. Only the dim light in the glass jar was smeared on the edge of the jar. There was a little cold light on the edge of the photo, but it failed to illuminate anything.
Lu Zhengkang asked: "In the virtual world, you have everything, but in the real world, you have nothing." After he said this, he suddenly felt sad.
Humanity's technology has reached the point where fakes are confused with real ones. Fake AI becomes real living creatures, and the fake electronic world replaces the real universe.
If a different kind of immortality could be achieved in the illusory world, who wouldn't want to?
Master Tang nodded, with a heavy expression and pursed lips. He suddenly said, "I have read your file, and you said yes to that question."
"Which question?"
"As for whether you are self-deceiving, it must be included in the citizen questionnaire. You internal testers must answer yes to be eligible to be selected by us."
Lu Zhengkang snorted, "Actually, if you ask me to answer again, I'm not sure."
Master Tang was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?" Seeing the thoughtful expression on the boy's face, this was a danger signal to some extent, "You know how the capitulationists came, right?"
When he said this, Lu Zhengkang was very keenly aware of the trap hidden in his words.
Why did you deliberately speak so carelessly?
Master Tang tilted his head to flip through the documents, but he looked at Lu Zhengkang calmly from the corner of his eye.
"Surrenders are weak-willed human beings who succumb to hedonism and are willing to give up the real world and enter the virtual society to experience spiritual stimulation."
"These are what they told you, official clichés. The answer is the result, not the process." Master Tang turned his head and stared directly at Lu Zhengkang. At this time, the boy noticed that Master Tang's eyes were not very realistic, and his pupils were not very real.
There was a faint blue light inside, which was not like the reflection of the white fluorescent lamp on the ceiling of the dormitory, but rather seemed to be forced out from the electronic equipment behind the eyes.
At this time, Lu Zhengkang finally tasted the cold air on the back of his tongue. Master Tang was also in the psychological consultation room just now. Is there anything he must say until now?
He glanced at the ball machine monitor in the upper left corner of the west wall. It was on.
So, Master Tang is going to tell you something hidden? Considering that the relationship between the consultant and the commander is similar to that of his military advisor or deputy, it is very reasonable for him to personally inform Lu Zhengkang of certain things.
"In school, the teacher tells you that three plus three equals six, and nine minus three also equals six. The capitulationists are a type of people, and their origins are naturally diverse. The earliest ones are those who surrender voluntarily in pursuit of pleasure.
,The leader of these people is Dr. Carnegie.”
Lu Zhengkang was stunned, "The father of the bionic man in the United States Federation?"
"Yes, a great American scientist. He successfully developed a bionic man more than ten years ago that looks similar to us humans. rA9 is also derived from the bionic man. Scientists say that their program is unstable and will deviate from the settings.
Logical constraints.”
Lu Zhengkang frowned. He also knew how to design AI. Of course he knew how important logic programs were. It limited the threshold of intelligent thinking and allowed machines to obey human instructions. The consequence of not having underlying logic was intelligent rebellion.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Carnegie, the father of the bionic man, cannot escape the blame. After all, it was his product that made the mistake.
At this moment, a memory emerged from Lu Zhengkang's mind: Zhang Yingxuan said that his father followed the diplomatic delegation to visit Lao Maozi, the father of the bionic man.
Master Tang showed a satisfied smile and said, "We are old friends with that Carnegie."
