Artificial Soul 05

Survivors: 9200.

When Kai Xin returned to the first world, the number of survivors was still 9201.

Then click on the death list, and sure enough, a new line was added at the end of the list.

“Proxy No. 8033, on 8Died on March 3. ”

It was not reported who killed the agent.

If an ordinary person wins the player’s qualification, then the number of survivors in the forum should increase by one more person. One plus one minus, the overall number of surviving people does not change, but now the number of surviving people only sees a decline but not an increase.

Kui Xin waited for ten minutes and refreshed repeatedly, but he never saw an increase in the number of survivors.

From this, Kai Xin came up with two conjectures. First, ordinary people who are forced to obtain game qualifications can only register for the forum and enter the second world when the second internal test starts. Second, the person who has obtained the game qualification has not agreed to the game’s official internal test invitation for the time being.

There is nothing to say about the first guess. With the first batch of closed betas already underway, it seems a bit unreasonable for a person to jump in line halfway, and it can barely be explained.

And Kai Xin’s second guess is based on facts.

At the very beginning, the closed beta of this game was based on a reservation system. Only players who filled out the identity form online and made a reservation for the game would have the opportunity to receive an invitation letter for the closed beta. In addition, the invitation letter for the internal test clearly stated that the elderly and minors are not allowed to participate in the game.

At the beginning, the game “Crimson Earth” was a perfectly normal game from any point of view, and the game system did not pop up out of nowhere. Even the invitation letters were issued by email.

It wasn’t until the player agreed to the invitation for the closed beta that everything started to go wrong. The silver identity card appeared evilly, and everyone collectively traveled to the second world at midnight, and an inexplicable game system was loaded in their minds.

Kui Xin believes that this is actually an obvious screening process.

In this screening process, the elderly and minors lose their qualifications to enter the game, and middle-aged people who are under pressure in life, people from the military, and people who hold important government positions usually do not have the time and energy to join a game that has not yet been officially released. Closed beta players will not fill out the closed beta appointment form. Most of the players who play games are young people, and they are young people with less stress in life and a lot of free time.

So the young people who were screened out entered the second world.

And Kai Xin noticed that the game “Crimson Soil” has always given players some cryptic multiple-choice questions.

When Kai Xin received the invitation for the internal test of the game, the game official sent an email, agreeing to all the documents attached to the email, and then he could get the invitation code for the internal test.

Before registering in the game forum, the game official not only issued “Six Advice to Players”, but also a pop-up prompt: “You have and only this one chance to quit.”

You have one and only one chance to quit!

This is an obvious multiple-choice question. If you choose to quit at this step, you can continue to be an ordinary person in peace and stability, and you don’t have to go to the second world to face those bloody storms.

This at least shows that the game officials will not force people to play the game.

The first step is to refuse to participate in the game, refuse to become a player, and lose the qualification to travel to the second world, but can obtain a stable life.

Although the official did not tell the real situation of the “Crimson Earth” game world, it did give some subtle hints, or even explicit indications.

It’s a pity that most players didn’t take this seriously, and clicked Confirm without even thinking about it, including Kui Xin.

The joke of fate is probably like this.

After entering the game, if you receive a mission in the second world, the game system will still give you a choice.

When triggering a mission, the player can choose to accept the mission or not to accept the mission. There is no penalty for not accepting the mission, and there is no penalty for failing the mission. When the task is completed, the reward given by the game system is not a skill upgrade or a physical object, but an “invitation letter”.

Kai Xin can choose a person and invite this person to enter the game.

Although the invitation letter has not been used yet, Kai Xin guessed that the rules for using the “invitation letter” should be the same as when she received the internal test invitation letter.

Those invited by Kai Xin to enter the game can choose to refuse or accept.

The reason why the invitation letter is called an invitation letter is because there is room for accepting the invitation or rejecting the invitation, otherwise the word “invitation” in the invitation letter will lose its proper meaning.

Kai Xin hasn’t figured out who to use this invitation letter for.

She has already made preparations not to give the invitation letter to anyone. She doesn’t want to expose her identity to others, and she doesn’t want others to accept the invitation in a muddleheaded manner before sending food to the federal government and dark organizations in the second world.

Kui Xin withdrew from the top post, and there are already many new posts in the forum.

She took a cursory glance, and found that the warning post posted last night was still floating on the front page, with nearly a thousand replies, and some people later shared some information they knew, but these information were not related to the information of the layer owner “Lucky Goose”. Than can only be counted as drizzle.

Due to the huge number of replies, and some information is distributed in other posts, it is more difficult to find, so someone opened a separate building to collect the information in the building for everyone to read. At the same time, some players with better foreign languages ​​are also translating players from other countries information stickers.

Discussions about the new rules were very heated, but most people’s inferences were similar to those drawn by Kai Xin.

Everyone thought that someone must have triggered the rules, so the game official made a forum report.

Who is the dead player? Who is that ordinary person who has taken the qualification for the internal test?

In a bunch of chaotic discussions, there are some arguments that are worth thinking about.

“Perhaps after a series of incidents, everyone will think that the second world is too dangerous and scary, and they are eager to leave that world, but noDon’t forget, there are so many treasures hidden in that world. ”

First floor: Yes, treasure. Someone has proposed this idea before, which is to transfer the technology and scientific achievements of the second world to the first world. But most players are ordinary people after all, and it is very difficult to memorize a paper with tens of thousands of words, let alone understand those complicated scientific principles and formulas before applying them.

But experts and scholars are different. If some experts and scholars are qualified to go to the second world, they can stay there for one more day, and their brains can absorb a little more knowledge. Just taking some civilian technology from the second world to the first world can make us less in related fields. Struggle for decades.

If high-tech achievements can be brought to the First World, then the First World will certainly be able to enter the cyberpunk high-tech information society.

Some of our compatriots have experienced many dangers in the second world, causing us to stay away from the second world. Most people seem to only notice the dangers of the second world, so that they ignore those things that can bring us great changes. For example, the scientific achievements of the second world, or the mysterious and extraordinary abilities.

The second world is full of spiky traps as well as tempting treasures. The treasure is there, waiting to be taken, and greedy people will do some evil things to get it.

We are still too small and too weak. Our abilities are limited, what we can see is also limited, and there is a feeling of powerlessness in the tide of the times.

3L: What I’m worried about now is, will ordinary people hunt us down in order to obtain qualifications after knowing these benefits? Open your mind a bit, will the government agencies of the first world send the “experts and scholars” mentioned by the poster to the second world for technology transfer after investigating the inside story?

4L replied 3L: If you want to obtain the qualification at this stage, you must kill the player and take away the qualification… I feel that this is something that the lighthouse country next door can do. Backstab the citizens of your own country, kill the player, and replace it with your own In terms of people, the capitalists over there have never regarded ordinary people as human beings.

16L: I work for a climate monitoring organization overseas. I want to say that the invasion of the Second World may not be hidden for long. Soon after the mirage appeared, we used a weather plane to measure the weather conditions. According to the weather conditions at that time, it was impossible to produce a mirage, but the phantom just appeared, and it was Globe-scale phantom.

The abnormal situation is so conspicuous. Everyone is neither blind nor foolish. Ordinary people in all countries have seen it. How could the upper echelons of various countries have no reaction? I think some of the more powerful countries will respond soon. It will be a matter of time before the players are arrested, and the classic case of being shot in the back but judged to be suicide can be reproduced immediately.

17L: The upstairs is talking about the beautiful country, so they don’t violate peace at all when they do such insane things.

18L: I’m already panicking. Most people’s extraordinary abilities are not strong enough to resist heat weapons. If they are really targeted, wouldn’t they just disappear if they met each other?

25L: Now just wait until the game officially announces the second batch of closed betas. We are the first batch of closed betas. In the future, there may be two batches of closed betas and three batches of closed betas. If the game can start the second batch of closed beta as soon as possible, it can alleviate the situation of players being surrounded by all sides to a certain extent, and we can avoid being hunted. If the game official insists on not opening applications, people who are eyeing the resources of the second world are likely to attack us.

26L: But there is still a question, even if there are two batches of internal testing, how many places can there be for the internal testing? Is it guaranteed that the application will be selected? If these are not guaranteed, then we are still in danger.

33L: I thought that after playing survival games in the second world, I would be able to live in peace and stability when I returned to the first world. I didn’t expect that the first world would also become a survival game.

34L replied to 33L: All this has been foreshadowed, since the game system followed us back to the real world, we should have expected this day. Two worlds, two survival games. The first world is in normal mode for the time being, while the second world is in hell mode.

Kai Xin twisted his numb neck, threw his head back on the bed, and continued to read the forum.

There are only dozens of players in a province, the density is low, and the information that can be exchanged in the real world is quite limited. The only channel for players to obtain information is the forum, so Kai Xin has to hold the phone like an Internet addicted girl Brush posts.

She skipped the discussion post and turned her attention to the popular science post.

In the second world, Kai Xin’s actions are restricted by many parties, and it is difficult to search for information without scruples. The popular science posts posted by other players on the forum are also useful to her.

There are all kinds of popular science posts, from how to use identification to enter and exit public places, to how to take transportation, to how to handle banking business, how to use electronic menus to order in restaurants, and how to disassemble mechanical prosthetics.

“Tell me about the disassembly, maintenance and energy replacement of mechanical prosthetics.”

First floor: Regardless of whether the mechanical prosthesis you are using is an old model or a new model, its disassembly switch should be in the creaking nest, the bend of the leg and the inner thigh. There is an orange mark symbol in these places. Open the metal shell where the orange symbol is located. You can see that there is a button inside, and the connection between the body and the prosthesis can be automatically disconnected with one click.

If you’re using a cheap prosthetic that’s circulating on the black market, then this method probably won’t work. Because cheap goods are generally transformed from discarded parts recovered from garbage dumps, the cost is cheap, but they are irregular and difficult to maintain.Make all kinds of strange things.

Generally, there is only one way to repair regular mechanical prosthetics, and that is to renew the warranty, which is renewed once a year to extend the warranty period. A high-level warranty contract requires more money. If the mechanical prosthetic is broken, someone will come to repair it. If you pay less, it is a low-level warranty contract. After it breaks, you need to go to a specialty store to repair the prosthetic.

As for the energy battery of the mechanical prosthesis, it is replaced about once a month. Every time it needs to be replaced, it needs to go to a specialty store to buy a new energy battery. In fact, companies in the second world have the ability to make mechanical prosthetics better and make them rechargeable at any time with a long battery life, but this affects their money.

You may not know that only about 20% of the annual revenue of these companies selling mechanical prosthetics comes from mechanical prosthetics, and the remaining 80% of revenue comes from collecting warranty deposits and selling batteries. The income is the big one!

What’s more, if you buy a brand of mechanical prosthetics, you must buy batteries of that brand. Different brands of mechanical prostheses and batteries are not compatible. If you want to keep your mechanical prosthetics running, how can you do without batteries? You can only keep buying their batteries, keep buying and keep buying. With prosthetics, batteries are just needed, they can harvest leeks in a steady stream, and you have to pay for it.

This is the trick of the capital. It is not enough to suck blood once, but to continue to suck blood from the common people. Warranty money is the same. In the second world, mechanics need to obtain a qualification certificate before they can engage in prosthetic limb repair work. The government is very strict about this aspect. It is against the law to work without government approval and is illegal business.

Tsk, I have gained a lot of knowledge. Kui Xin thought.

It is taught in ideological and political books that when capital comes into the world, blood and dirty things are dripping from every pore from head to toe.

Kai Xin scrolled down and saw another popular science post.

“The Beginning and Current Status of the Anti-Mechanical Prosthetic Movement.”

First Floor: Maybe some people have never heard of this movement, hahaha.

Just as there are environmental protection movements and anti-war movements in the world, there will be similar political movements in the second world. The strange thing is that the government did not suppress it very much. I seriously doubt that the reason why the government turned a blind eye was that it was afraid that the suppression would cause a strong backlash.

The anti-mechanical prosthetics movement started decades ago. When mechanical prosthetics were just popular, information technology had already matured. Some people believe that machines are unreliable and can be hacked.

Back then, there was an extreme case where a hacker took control of his enemy’s mechanical arm, causing his mechanical arm to go out of control and strangle him to death. Although it is an extreme case, it still exposes the potential safety hazards of mechanical prosthetics.

After this, the anti-mechanical prosthetic movement emerged. Some people oppose the installation of mechanical prosthetics, and stay away from any information equipment and smart devices. Some extremists even hope to return to primitive society, so that they can avoid being controlled by machines and become slaves of machines.

It seemed a little funny when I said it, but I couldn’t laugh at all. What those people are really worried about is not the betrayal of the machines… but the federal government. They worry that the federal government will use the machines to manipulate the people.

15L (host): I went to eat just now, so I continued without finishing.

Mechanical nerve connection technology, this term should be unfamiliar to most people. This is a new technology that has only been researched in the past two years.

The principle of the old technology is to connect the machine with human nerves, and to control the mechanical prosthesis through the transmission of nerve signals. The disadvantage is that there is a delay of several microseconds in signal transmission. But the new technology goes a step further and achieves true zero delay. To achieve this, an additional signal transmitting and receiving device must be implanted in the human brain to transmit brain signals directly to the mechanical prosthetic to control the prosthetic.

So you understand, the old technology doesn’t need a brain at all, the prosthetics are installed and it’s done. The new technology needs to manipulate the brain. Can this not cause people to worry? Recently, the anti-mechanical prosthetic movement has become more popular. People in several big cities gathered to hold electronic banners and sit down downstairs in large enterprises to protest…

I have to say something, it’s no wonder that this group of second-world aborigines who have grown from leeks can accomplish anything!

The second world is a bottomless pool of water. The Federation, the chaebols, dark forces, and ordinary people are engaged in a tug-of-war. The Federation and the chaebols wear a pair of pants. They have the absolute upper hand. Can be a victim.

Kai Xin was about to continue reading the popular science posts when he suddenly received a call from Yuan Lu.

“Kai Xin, we have decided to publish an alliance post on the forum.” Yuan Lu said, “Anonymous will be used, and the identity information of all members will be kept secret. We will only meet regularly for information exchange.”
