The year is 2088 AD, the 28th year of the macrocosmic calendar.
The changes of the times and the opening of the great universe era have caused the boundaries of countries to disappear.
What most people on Earth call it is the Pan-Earth Federation.
On Earth, in a secret research institution in the former world, a beautiful blonde female doctor was taking her students to observe a human body in a dormant chamber.
"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, what you see now is Raven, the only early 'virtual reality' deep-diving patient left in the world." The female doctor gently opened the camera of the dormant chamber and let the students
It is possible to better observe the patient whose body is in a dormant state.
He has a very ordinary appearance, average height, and not a strong body. At first glance, in today's world where genetic adjustment of offspring is common and the streets are full of handsome men and beautiful women, this guy is an ugly man.
He was wearing a light blue patient gown, with many tubes inserted into his arms, and a strange helmet on his head.
After saying that, the female doctor clicked on a virtual button that appeared in front of her, and a game screen appeared among the students.
"In 2026, the highly realistic consciousness synchronization game "World of Ultron" was released. This was the first game in human history that surpassed the early VR (virtual reality) that only changed vision and hearing. It became popular throughout the earth at that time.
With the support of quantum computers at that time, humans achieved the perfect connection between brainwave signals and mechanical systems, allowing the human brain to interpret all signals from the outside world and simultaneously transform them into the movements and perceptions of characters in the virtual world."
"However, this brings about a serious problem. The deep consciousness of entering the game for a long time will make players unable to distinguish between virtuality and reality. In 2027, the first patient who entered the game with deep consciousness and never woke up appeared.
.Subsequently, in the next three months, there were more than 1 million patients who were unable to wake up in reality. The government at that time urgently stopped all highly realistic consciousness synchronization games."
"In the following three years, most of the patients lost consciousness, which is medically brain-dead. Only a very small number of people still retain consciousness, but their consciousness cannot be separated from the game's quantum server. Once separated forcibly,
, they will die immediately.”
When the beautiful female doctor said this, a student raised his hand: "Instructor, can we understand that they have been living in the dream designed for them by the computer?"
The blond female doctor gently smoothed her bangs: "Originally, most scholars and experts thought so. The consciousness of patients is often in a special space independent of other players, and the images they experience are transmitted.
Later, I also found that most of them are the same as the game."
"Are there any exceptions?" the student asked.
"Most of the patients with deep consciousness submersion were killed in the game, and then their brains died quickly in reality. But then there was the only exception, the patient named 'Raven'. According to the last image tracked by the computer,
He has been promoted to the 'Silver Rank' set in the game that year."
"Then what?"
"Then the computer will no longer be able to export the images in 'Raven''s consciousness." The female doctor sighed softly: "But things also changed at this time. 'Raven' became more and more dependent on the supercomputer.
It has continued unabated for more than sixty years. Recently, it even occupied all the computing power of a supercomputer that can calculate 100 'big numbers' cubed as many times per second."
The mathematical unit of a large number is 68 zeros after the number.
"Is this still a human being?" The students exclaimed.
"This is indeed beyond the scope of human beings. Countless scientists have conducted experiments on it in the past ten years. Because according to conjecture, this is almost the total amount of inquiries from another world."
"Is there any result?"
The female doctor shrugged, looking helpless.
"Scientists even extracted his brain cells and then used genetic recombinant drugs to make up for his losses, but they could not know what happened to him. However, in the past sixty years, he has responded to the previous government and now to the current one.
It has always been a burden to the Earth's federal government. However, the recent burden has become too heavy for the government. Because the amount of computing power it occupies is enough to allow humans on half the earth to have the most perfect computer-assisted life."
Students asked: "Is this why the government decided to shut down his life support system?"
"Yes! It's a pity. Maybe we could have discovered a parallel universe in him. But due to reality, there is no other way." At this time, a staff member came over and handed the female doctor a document.
That requires her, the top person in charge of the entire research institution, to sign. After signing, Raven will be executed.
The female doctor signed in a rustle, and then the students saw that the light of the entire life-support system disappeared. The brain waves symbolizing the activity of Raven's brain and heart also quickly went to zero.
Because most of the staff have already evacuated, there are only three or two kittens left in such a large research center.
An hour later, the female doctor came to the room where Raven's body was. She gently touched Raven's cold body: "It's such an injustice. My grandmother, my mother, and I have studied you for three generations.
After sixty years, I have gained nothing! Raven, Raven, how should you compensate for my youth! Because of you, I stayed up until the age of 29 and am still an old girl who has never touched a man. Alas."
Without further words, under the witness of the last few staff members, the female doctor pressed a button, and Raven's body was suddenly hit by a strong dissociation light. In just one second, the entire body was reduced to ashes.
"You go, leave me alone here, I want to be quiet."
The staff all expressed their understanding of this. This was the long-cherished wish of three generations, and it would be unbearable for anyone to return without success. Everyone dispersed, leaving the female doctor here, feeling lost.
In the monitoring room, the lights had been turned off, and the female doctor just stared at the charred experimental bed in a daze.
At this time, a very sudden voice sounded behind the female doctor.
"Although I am grateful that you have protected my body for so long, my memory tells me that you have also done many excessive things to my body! For example, it was sectioned for study and so on. I am very unhappy!"
The female doctor suddenly looked back, and she immediately screamed loudly.
"Oh no way"
What did she see?
Raven! The living Raven! It should have been completely decomposed by the dissociation light, and both the consciousness and the body were completely destroyed. The existence that three generations of her family have studied for more than sixty years.
Although he exudes a faint light, Raven is Raven. She has seen it since she was twelve years old, and she will never mistake it. (To be continued.)
