Cornes could not provide any useful information, and Tang Ji did not intend to get any useful information from him tonight.
With his academic qualifications and experience, he did not realize that he had a lot of useful information. At this time, Tang Ji needed Dr. Wu Qianying to dig deep from Cones.
For example, where did a group of them find the physical body? What was the physical condition of the physical body at that time?
This can be used to determine how far she has walked alone after she left the group. Drawing a circle with this radius can roughly calculate where she started from.
Many details are hidden in the dark, and Cornes does not have the eyes and command to discover the details, but fortunately, he only needs to have memory, and Dr. Wu Qianying can look for the true image on his behalf.
The same is true for the mysterious phone call that Cornes received. Someone is helping them in the dark, and there must be some purpose, but this requires careful analysis to reach the final conclusion. Tang Ji is not qualified for this kind of brain-shaking thing.
For a long time, Tang Ji's revenge against Losas was blind. Until the emergence of the concept of players, Tang Ji had to start using his brain to think about the way out for the future.
Before this, Tang Ji thought that money and the Lazarus Group could serve as Tang Anran's protective umbrella, but with the emergence of players and superhumans, this protective umbrella became no longer safe.
Today, they can send a player into prison to assassinate themselves, and tomorrow they can follow the clues and find Wu Qianying's laboratory!
After realizing that the war had escalated, Tang Ji was no longer at peace. He and the Lazarus Group had indeed done a lot of work to hide Tang Anran's existence this year.
But it is an indisputable fact that player power has the absolute upper hand on the Internet. The gray-black flames continued to swell from Tang Ji's hands, and were extinguished by him.
Maybe it would be a better choice to send Tang Anran to the Prophet's underwater base. Tang Ji thought of the heavily defended base and those lazy Ark organization members, and finally shook his head.
The Ark organization is unreliable. Their base will definitely be overthrown the next time players log in on a large scale.
...
...
"It's no longer safe here." In a secret laboratory in the suburbs, Tang Ji locked the captives into a sealed room.
When this laboratory was first established, it was not even considered a secret laboratory. Many people knew that Lazarus had a biochemical laboratory here, and its biggest protective feature was the Lazarus sign itself.
"I know, I have strengthened the security level here." Wu Qianying looked at the interrogation record that Tang Ji brought over, her delicate brows furrowed: "Lily Flower Nursing Home? Behind them are Night City Real Estate and Weisen McGee Medical
Insurance, the possibility of being penetrated by players and naturalized people is very low..."
"If I want to move the laboratory, how long will it take? How much will it cost?" Tang Ji interrupted Wu Qianying: "They are chasing me very closely. I am worried that there will be an attack here."
"This is a 2S-level laboratory. If labor costs are not taken into account, each move will cost about 12 million federal dollars." Wu Qianying calculated the calculation for Tang Ji: "Starting from the preparation work, to the new laboratory
It will take at least three months to put it into use.”
"Do you know how much effort I put into maintaining a stable living environment for An Ran?" Wu Qianying looked up at Tang Ji: "Every time he moves, the fatality rate is frighteningly high for him. The transfer process and the start-up of the new greenhouse,
All require careful arrangements.”
"I know that finding traces of players in Night City makes you uneasy, but you are his last barrier, and you can't mess up." Wu Qianying opened the interrogation records and laid them flat on the table: "I'm sure, these
The so-called players cannot cross the two worlds at will, otherwise what you encounter in prison will not be one player, but a group of players."
Afterwards, Wu Qianying called up a map of Night City on the screen and drew three circles on it: "I analyzed the route mentioned by Cornes, and the body could only escape from these three places.
.”
"I also know that you have a lot of questions to ask, but I can't answer them in words you can understand. This is a complex mathematical problem." Wu Qianying spoke very fast, and it was obvious that she was setting the stage for the questions that followed.
: "If you believe me, just bring someone to search from the location I drew, and you should be able to gain something."
"I said all this to let you understand that no matter what plan you have, it still needs me." Wu Qianying stood up and approached Tang Ji: "I know you have secrets that you are hiding from me, and I also have them, but you have
This secret has obviously affected our lives and safety now, so for the sake of Tang Anran and my life, you must tell me personally what secrets you are hiding."
"Don't try to find an excuse to lie to me, Tang Ji, I know you." Wu Qianying put her finger on Tang Ji's lips: "Don't forget, it was me who saved your son's life, and I helped you find the Ark Organization.
On the road against players, I can do more than you even sitting in front of the computer."
"I am a genius, you'd better respect genius." Wu Qianying finally warned: "Now, say it."
Tang Ji looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly realized his stupidity. His little secrets had obviously been seen through by the other party.
"I can kill players." Tang Ji said. At this moment, he felt as if half of the pressure on him had been lifted away.
"Then what?" Wu Qianying asked with an expectant look on her face. Tang Ji rarely saw this expression on her face.
"No more." Tang Ji was a little confused. This result was different from what he expected: "I can kill them in a real sense."
"I know, but is that all?" A look of disappointment appeared on Wu Qianying's face, which made Tang Ji feel helpless.
"Isn't it enough that I can kill them?" Tang Ji explained: "Isn't this the most effective weapon against them?"
"Of course not." Wu Qianying shook her head: "A simple arithmetic question, since you realized you had this ability, how many players have you killed in total? How long did it take?"
"About two months, two people." Tang Ji began to feel less confident.
"When you become proficient and the player base is large enough, we will calculate that you can kill one player every day. You can only kill 365 players a year. Do you know how many people died in traffic accidents in Night City last year?
People?" Wu Qianying called up a data: "398 people, if you work hard, you may be able to catch up with a good truck driver."
"This is an asymmetric war. Your ability may have a certain deterrent effect, but it is obviously not enough to prevent the overall invasion of players." Wu Qianying pushed up her glasses: "You can't rely on one person's killing to stop such an attack.
war."
"What's more, in this war, your enemy can make countless mistakes, but as long as you make one mistake, you will be completely defeated." Wu Qianying pressed her temples and thought for a while: "I don't know the civilization hidden behind the players.
What kind of core, but judging from their understanding of us, there is a high probability that they are also human beings, or at least humanoids with spiritual connections."
"First of all, you must understand that this is an unwinnable war. You can work hard for it, fight bloody battles, and even sacrifice for it, but this will not change the final outcome." Wu Qianying's tone was a little choked. At this moment, she
Seems more like a prophet than a prophet.
Tang Ji had no doubt that this woman's almost infinite wisdom had already deduced the final outcome of the world in her mind.
"So, you must change your mind to fight against the players." Wu Qianying looked at Tang Ji: "We must first disintegrate the basis of the players' existence before the time when we are bound to fail arrives."
"What basis?" Tang Ji felt his mouth was dry.
"Ever since I learned about the existence of players, I have been thinking about this question. Why do they call themselves players?" Wu Qianying's eyes seemed to shine with light: "Among the infinite number of self-proclaimed names, they chose to call themselves players. This proves that
Their only purpose of coming here is to have fun."
Tang Ji could only nod his head along with Wu Qianying's train of thought, not even daring to say "I".
"So, in this war that we are destined to fail to win, the existence of players has a basis, that is, they come to pursue spiritual satisfaction and sensory stimulation." Wu Qianying hesitated: "We can disintegrate this basis first.
"
"I don't understand." Tang Ji looked confused, as if he was back in high school physics class.
"The seven original sins represent the seven desires of human beings." Wu Qianying looked at Tang Ji, hesitated again, and finally said firmly: "Lust, those players are so similar to us that aesthetically, our civilization wants to
It makes sense, you must understand what I mean, I know how many adult plug-ins there are in today’s video games.”
Tang Ji felt a little suffocated: "What do you mean by disintegration before?"
"By degrading themselves at the genetic level, humans will not be able to desire goblins, at least most humans will not be able to, which will greatly affect the player experience." Wu Qianying seemed to be thinking about the feasibility: "But it will take too long.
, the feasibility is not high.”
"Gluttony, which represents appetite, is the lowest level of human needs." Wu Qianying continued: "It's hard for me to imagine a group of players crossing a world just to eat and drink, but this is the easiest and most common thing for them to get.
I'm having fun with it, so I'm thinking about replacing the existing crops with some kind of high-yielding crop that's edible, has high nutritional value, but has a bad taste."
"Considering the cost, this is easy to do, the cost is quite low, and the feasibility is very high." Wu Qianying casually called up a large number of Lazarus' internal scientific research reports: "Lazarus has studied similar things internally.
, piranha with extremely high meat production, baobab tree that tastes like cement but has strong vitality, there are too many choices.”
"Greed, this is the instinct of predators. We eliminate all profitable parts. Greed will make them self-defeating." Wu Qianying pushed up her glasses again: "The most troublesome thing is the rage, which represents the violence in their bones.
They came to this world without any morality to restrain them, and I can literally see this world flowing into a river of blood."
"This is where you need to help. When they make us bleed, you also let them bleed." Wu Qianying's words seemed to have the rusty smell of blood: "Your ability and your character are enough to make you bleed."
To become their nightmare, you don’t have to kill every player, but you must become the Sword of Damorix above their heads so that they don’t dare to act recklessly.”
"Jealous, our world must have something that they don't have. Only by having unique features can we attract enough players to enter." Wu Qianying sighed: "I guess it's superhumans. Players have been secretly guiding the increase in the number of superhumans.
But these are all speculations."
"As for arrogance, this is not our problem." Wu Qianying wrapped her hair around her fingertips: "They come from a high-dimensional world, so they will naturally think that they are higher than us. They will not regard us as equals. This is
It will never change."
"I didn't expect you to think so deeply." For a moment, Tang Ji felt that compared with this woman, his coldness and cruelty were only superficial.
"Recently, the research on Tang Anran has encountered a bottleneck. I have a lot of time to think about it." Wu Qianying pointed to her brain: "But I am not talking alarmist. I have deduced it seriously. If the number of players continues to grow, our
The world will reach a point, and after that point, even if we destroy the basis for players’ enjoyment, they will continue to eat up our world through inertia.”
"I don't understand. What exactly do you mean by node?" Tang Ji asked with some uncertainty.
"According to my calculations, if more than 150,000 players continue to exist in our world for more than a week, they can be called nodes." Wu Qianying explained: "But this is just my preliminary calculation, there are many data models and algorithms
It is not rigorous in itself and requires more computing power to get accurate results."
If the prophet had found you earlier, I'm afraid the world would be over by now, right?
"I will convey what you said to the prophet." Tang Ji said hoarsely to Wu Qianying: "Maybe you are right, this is an unimagined road."
"Don't be so pessimistic. This is just a rough conclusion I drew based on the existing information. If they are lucky, maybe they will miss the opportunity to return to our world again?" Wu Qianying said to Tang Ji: "I am just saying the most pessimistic one.
Condition."
No, I just saw it. Regarding the plan of annihilation, you even prepared a backup plan for BCDEF...
"We'd better solve the security problem of Tang Anran and you first." Tang Ji shook his head and returned to the topic.
After the conversation just now, he did calm down. Now Tang Ji believes that Wu Qianying must have an emergency plan for his own safety.
"I do have a backup plan. If it goes well, it may be able to temporarily solve Enron's problem." Wu Qianying called up a short video of a puppy video from the screen.
Tang Ji saw a girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, surfing on the beach. The next second, the waves condensed into ice under the girl's skateboard. The girl just skated all the way, turning into ice when she met the water.
