The three little ones were full of confusion and had no idea what Qin Zhibo was talking about.
But after Qin Zhibo's reminder, Conan's face was startled, and something suddenly came to his mind.
"Couldn't you be talking about 'cocoon'?"
"Bingo!"
Cocoon, the world's first next-generation game console with full stealth capabilities.
As a game console, Cocoon's capabilities undoubtedly far exceed the world's expectations.
The use of the most advanced virtual reality technology can completely control the five senses, giving players a gaming experience that is closest to the real world.
However, due to a major accident at Cocoon's Japanese press conference, the "Cocoon" project was shelved indefinitely, and the development company behind the project, Syndora Corporation, was forced into bankruptcy and liquidation.
A number of technical achievements achieved by the "Cocoon" project have been used to repay the company's debts to project investors.
The largest investor in Sindora Company is Japan's Suzuki Consortium.
The 51 "Cocoon" prototype machines originally used at the Japanese press conference are now placed in Suzuki's technology development building.
As long as you borrow the "cocoon", Curacao can repeat yesterday's "stimulating experience" without leaving the hospital.
"cocoon!"
"Is it really Cocoon? Can we play that game console again?"
Hearing the name of that era-changing game console again, the three little ones were filled with excitement, completely forgetting all the thrilling scenes that happened at that press conference.
Conan, on the other hand, was still a little scared. He still vaguely remembered the thrilling situation that happened at the game conference.
Various crashes occurred in the game content, Holmes became a villain, and Moriarty was ordered by officials to arrest Holmes.
Then the game world was invaded by green slime and tentacles, like a computer virus.
After the green slime, yellow light appeared again.
There are also death threats from Noah’s Ark…
All in all, that game was the worst Conan game I've ever played.
Feng Jian Yuya on the side didn't understand what Qin Zhibo was talking about, so he quickly asked: "Mr. Qin, what is the 'cocoon' you are talking about?"
"It is a game console, but it can use virtual reality technology to completely simulate human senses in the real world."
"Virtual reality?"
Kazami Yuya, who didn't often pay attention to these cutting-edge technologies, was a little confused.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo could only change his explanation.
"In layman's terms, as long as there is that machine, Curacao can repeat the scene that happened yesterday without leaving the hospital."
At this time, Ayumi, who was short, raised her head in confusion and asked: "Who is Curacao?"
“Curaçao is…”
What Qin Zhibo blurted out was captured by the three little ones.
Conan hurriedly stepped forward, interrupted with a smile: "You guys go out and wait a moment, Uncle Qin has other things to do, be good..."
After pushing the three little ones out of the room, Conan put on a serious face and said to Qin Zhibo: "Are you sure you want to use the 'cocoon'?"
"That machine is very dangerous..."
Conan still can't forget how critical the situation was when faced with the threat of killing everyone in Noah's Ark if they didn't clear the level.
Qin Zhibo smiled and said: "The machine itself is innocent. No matter how powerful the technology is, it all depends on who uses it and how it is used..."
“What about artificial intelligence Noah’s Ark?”
"What if it appears again this time?"
Conan's face was sullen and his blue eyes looked at Qin Zhibo seriously.
And Kazami Yuya standing aside was like a duck listening to thunder, he couldn't understand a word of the conversation between the two.
Qin Zhibo looked at Conan, who was at a lower position, and sighed.
There are some things that you should tell your children...
"Let's go outside first."
"I have something to show you."
…
After leaving the police hospital, Qin Zhibo drove Conan and the three little ones to Dr. A Li's house.
After placing the three little ones in the living room on the first floor to play, Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Dr. Ali came to the underground laboratory.
Qin Zhibo took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and inserted it into the computer host in the laboratory.
"The next step is to witness the miracle, please don't blink..."
The moment the computer read the USB flash drive, a Q-version cartoon character jumped out from the edge of the screen.
Conan and Dr. Ari, who were staring at the screen, were stunned at the same time, wondering what this meant.
The next second, the computer speaker suddenly made a sound.
"Hello, Dr. Ali."
"We meet again."
An old man and a young man were startled by the sudden sound, their eyes full of confusion.
But gradually, Dr. Ali's eyes gradually brightened.
"I know! It's Noah's Ark!"
"Is this Noah's Ark?"
As the scientist who was originally invited by Kudo Yusaku to the United States to help Sindora Company develop game software, Dr. Ari, as a game developer, once used the world's first artificial intelligence - Noah's Ark.
Therefore, Dr. Ali immediately remembered this voice.
"Noah's Ark!"
Conan suddenly looked shocked and stared at the Q-version villain on the screen in disbelief.
Thinking of Qin Zhibo's action of inserting the USB flash drive into the computer host just now, he immediately understood the reason.
"Why is Noah's Ark in your USB flash drive?"
At this time, the speaker sounded again.
"My name is not Noah's Ark, my name is Sawada Hiroki."
Conan was surprised for a moment and turned to look at the Q-version villain on the screen, but then turned to look at Qin Zhibo.
"It's a long story..."
"If I finish talking about it all, I guess one hour won't be enough."
"It's better to seize the time and get down to business first."
Qin Zhibo walked to the computer and asked Hiroki Sawada: "I now need you to create a scene that exists in the real world and put it in the Cocoon game console for people to use. How long will it take?"
After thinking for a while, Hiroki Sawada replied: "It depends on the size of the actual scene and whether we have architectural blueprints and real image data of the actual scene."
"The architectural blueprint should be fine. The area is about the size of the Toto Aquarium."
"You can check this online..."
Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Sawada Hiroki gave his answer.
"It takes 4 to 5 hours to complete the virtual reality creation of the Toto Aquarium area."
When he heard this time, Qin Zhibo felt happy.
This efficiency is already very fast, so Curacao can restore its memory within today.
But the next second, Hiroki Sawada changed the topic.
"But it can only be completed with the help of the game map creation engine provided by 'Cocoon'."
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Zhibo frowned, this time it was his turn not to understand.
At this time, Dr. Ali on the side explained: "In order to create a map of the game world, Sindora Company developed a series of technical frameworks, such as real-time 3D engine, ray tracing technology..."
“Only by using these technical frameworks, developers can develop with extremely high efficiency.”
When Qin Zhibo heard it, wasn't this Unreal Engine?
However, the game creation engine of this era was Syndora's exclusive technology and was developed specifically for the development of "Cocoon".
"I understand, as long as we have these technical frameworks, it can be completed in one afternoon, right?"
"Theoretically yes."
Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and the only way now was to go to the Suzuki Building and see if the Suzuki Consortium had these technical frameworks.
"I'll call Suzuki Sonoko now..."
After a while, Qin Zhibo got permission from Suzuki Sonoko.
But the only problem is that last time Qin Zhibo came over to play games, there was an accident in the laboratory, and all research on "cocoon" has been stopped by Suzuki executives.
"So, Uncle Qin, if you come over to play, there will be no supporting technical staff..."
Suzuki Sonoko thought Qin Zhibo was addicted to gaming again.
But Qin Zhibo smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, we can prepare our own technicians here."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo looked at Dr. Ali.
"Dr. Ali, would you please make a trip..."
"I?"
Dr. A Li was stunned for a moment, but quickly accepted his fate.
"All right."
At this moment, a faint voice came from behind several people.
"Where are you going?"
Qin Zhibo turned around and saw that it was Hui Yuan Ai standing at the door wearing a camisole and shorts with his arms folded.
Dr. A Li's smile was a little stiff, "Xiao, Xiao Ai, are you back?"
"Um."
Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
She went to Chengshi Hospital just now, so she didn't meet Qin Zhibo and others coming over.
After I came back, I saw the three little ones coming. I heard that Qin Zhibo and Conan had gone to the basement and wanted to play "Cocoon" again, so I came over to see what was going on.
"So where are you going?"
"Go..." Dr. Ali didn't know how to explain, because he didn't know the specific situation.
At this time, Conan slowly stepped forward and asked: "We now have a plan to restore the memory of the women in that organization."
"But this needs your help..."
Hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai's heart sank.
Ever since she knew that the woman was a member of the organization, she did not support allowing the woman to recover her memory.
Because it is too dangerous to do this. Once the other party recovers his memory, he may kill everyone he came into contact with during this period, even children.
This is the way the organization works.
"no……"
Hui Yuan Ai shook his head slightly, with even a hint of pitiful pleading in his eyes.
"Please..."
Facing Haiyuan Ai's weak voice, Conan's eyes were slightly startled, and he looked a little moved.
But then, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes resolutely said: "Haiyuan, don't try to escape your fate."
"Although the road ahead is full of thorns, I don't want to escape my fate..."
Conan's words in turn made Haihara Ai a little moved.
Conan continued to speak earnestly: "And haven't you noticed? On the road of choosing to fight against fate, haven't you met more and more like-minded partners?"
"Look back, if you didn't choose to fight against fate, would you still be able to meet us today?"
Conan's words were like thunder, exploding in Haiyuan Ai's mind.
Once upon a time, she also gave up everything and fought against the organization because she heard the news of her sister's death and felt that she had no hope of life.
When she was locked in a secret room and waiting to die, a pill of APTX-4869 in her pocket gave her a glimmer of hope.
yes……
If death was my destiny, why did I choose to take that pill in the first place?
To commit suicide?
No.
Haihara Ai still remembered that when she took out the pill from her pocket, the first thing that came to her mind was not the tragic scene of most of the mice in the laboratory dying after taking the medicine.
He was the only surviving rat in the rat box.
I thought that after taking the medicine, I might still have a chance of survival, so I chose to take the capsule.
The silent atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds, and Huihara Ai's eyes finally showed a hint of relief.
"What you said makes sense..."
"If it hadn't been for the only surviving white rat in the laboratory, I wouldn't have taken the capsule."
"Maybe from that moment on, I was already fighting against my fate."
Conan looked at Haihara Ai who was gradually thinking about it, and also showed a knowing smile.
"So you agreed to help?"
"It's okay, but to ensure my safety, I don't want to waste the life I finally survived..."
Haiyuan Ai returned to her usual arrogant tone, which made Conan quite helpless.
"well……"
"It's enough to say a good word once."
"..."
Seeing the quarrel between two boys and girls of similar age, Dr. Ali showed a happy smile.
Only Qin Zhibo on the side was somewhat skeptical of what Hui Yuan Ai just said.
Haiyuan Ai said that she chose to take Drug A because there was a white mouse still alive in the laboratory.
The meaning of this should be that one of the mice used in the experiment of Drug A was still alive after taking the drug, which means that the lethality rate of Drug A is not 100%, and it can even shrink the body.
But Qin Zhibo, who came back from London, knew that Conan and Haibara Ai, who had taken drug A and shrunk their bodies, actually had the same blood.
That is the organization boss, Karasuma Renya.
Conan's lineage comes from the Kuroba family founded by Renya Karasuma after coming to Japan.
Haibara Ai's bloodline comes from Karasuma Renya's biological mother when she was in England, that is, the Sera family.
If the main reason why Drug A can make people shrink is because they have the same bloodline as Renya Karasuma, then what is the principle behind Drug A making the mice survive and shrink?
Does the white mouse also have the blood of Renya Karasuma?
This seems unlikely...
But how should we explain the experiments that Haihara Ai personally conducted?
The only surviving white mouse in the laboratory, why did it survive?
Is it a medicinal effect?
Or... someone's will?
"Qin, can we go to the Suzuki Building now?"
At this moment, Conan interrupted Qin Zhibo's thinking.
"...Oh, um."
Qin Zhibo suddenly came to his senses and nodded.
Conan saw something was wrong with Qin Zhibo's expression, so he asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Qin Zhibo lowered his head and looked at Conan's serious face, feeling a little heavy.
