Abyssal Wanderer

The layout of the immersive movie screening hall reminded Jiang Zhou of a deep dive warehouse.

This is an open oval staircase hall, with hundreds of eggshell-shaped pseudo-sensory projection devices, surrounding the huge square black instrument in the center of the hall - when entering A staff member told him that it was the central processor of the simulator movie.

An upward-facing 3D projection device is installed at the bottom of the CPU, and together they project a beautiful and sexy girl in mid-air. She explained to the audience who were taking their seats one after another how to wear equipment correctly and how to evacuate in the event of a fire or other accident.

Extending from the top of the processor are hundreds of lines that flash with different colors of light, looking like fireworks from a distance. The data pipelines with alternating light and dark colors are fixed through a special structure at the top, extending into a complex spider web throughout the hall.

At the end of each "spider thread", the ends of those data pipelines hang down from mid-air and are connected to each eggshell-shaped pseudo-sensory projection device.

Jiang Zhou and his group counted the numbers glowing on the ground and sat down at the designated positions one after another.

"After the brain-computer interface is connected to the abyss dark network, and then the brain-computer interface on the avatar program is connected to the simulator...is this considered nesting dolls?"

Chinatsu Sakura, who was sitting on the left side of Jiangzhou, complained as she pulled out the data connector from the seat pillow and connected it to her occipital bone.

On the other side, Perse Fanny frowned and stared at the cool-looking pseudo-projection helmet in her hand - it was this thing that was connected to the central computer through data pipelines of different colors. on the projector.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Seeing the other party's frown, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"This is weird..."

Fanny said this and turned to look at Jiang Zhou.

"Generally speaking, the playback of simulator movies only requires signal stimulation from the brain-computer interface... I have never heard of any simulator that requires the use of this thing."

She played with the helmet in her hand, her expression hesitant as she spoke.

Jiang Zhou didn't ask what "this thing" was, but took out the ticket stub for "Doppelgänger" from his pocket, and then scanned the QR code on it.

""Doppelgänger" uses a new synaptic connection technology to increase the viewer's sense of immersion - this technology allows the viewer and the villain's 'evil doppelganger' to simultaneously transform into the viewer. The real-life appearance of the shadower provides a 100% immersive experience.”

He read the film's promotional copy softly.

"In order to achieve this function, a brain potential scanning device is built into the movie-viewing helmet, which monitors the signal changes of brain waves to fine-tune the parameters of the simulation in real time. The scanning intensity has been certified by professional organizations to be within the safe range. If you feel... A numb scalp is normal."

After reading, Jiang Zhou turned to look at Fanny.

"So, this thing is actually a brain scanner?"

he asked.

Fanny nodded and then said:

"But it's strange... If this simulation requires a brain scanner to be experienced normally, then when Hanel, uh, it was the memory that the previous female police officer gave me, Why wasn’t this mentioned?”

The "Doppelgänger" memory that Hanel gave her did not specify that it must be used on a special projector.

"Maybe it's a stolen and deleted version, who knows..."

In response, Jiang Zhou shrugged and answered.

Although he said that, what Jiang Zhou was thinking at the moment was that it was more likely that the pseudo-sensory movie "Doppelgänger" had never existed in reality.

This is not just in Jim's memory, there is no trace of this simulator at all. More importantly, if this place is really a repeat of history twenty years ago, then there is no way that the pseudo-sensory movie "Doppelgänger" that so many people have seen has no trace of its existence on the World Wide Web.

Twenty years is not a short time, but it is not a long time. Twenty years have passed, and there are so many thousand people in this pseudo-sensory screening hall. Now there are only a thousand people who are still alive in the Eden resettlement area. Definitely not a few, and this is just a screening. Jiang Zhou couldn't believe that among so many people, not one of them had mentioned this simulator movie on the World Wide Web.

At this time, the lights in the screening hall were gradually extinguished one by one. Jiang Zhou glanced at the time, it was almost time for the show to start.

"Well, if that's the case..."

After listening to what they said, Qianxia Sakura on the side raised her helmet and shook it at the two of them, and then said:

"Then when the simulator movie starts, will it be dangerous for us to wear it?"

Regarding this question, Fanny smiled:

"What danger can there be? These are just generated virtual scenes. Your head that exists in the basic reality is not wearing this helmet at the moment... If there is any danger, it can only be in this movie." There are dangers in simulating sensations connected to brain-computer interfaces.”

After all, some extreme simulacra movies can pollute the mental index.

"In that case, it would be better if you don't watch."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou suddenly spoke.

If this simulator really causes problems with the mental index, then relying on the specialness of the Janus program, there is a high probability that there will be no problems - even the explosive modifications made by Liao Qi before. It has no impact on my mental index.

But the remaining two are really uncertain.

"It's fine if I watch alone. If something goes wrong, it's normal that at least you can be left."

He suggested in as sincere a tone as possible.

Regarding his proposal, Fanny and Qianxia Ying said at the same time:

"What are you talking about?"

"Where are you talking about your mother?"

Although the degree of civilization is different, they generally express the same meaning. After the two of them finished speaking, they first looked at each other, and then Chinatsu Sakura raised her hand to the more civilized person, indicating that she could speak first.

Then Fanny said:

"It shouldn't be like this... If according to previous speculation, this is a game designed for us, then now is the test we must face. Especially me, who is deeply involved with Hanel, and I almost watched this simulacrum at home."

To this day, she still believes that the reason why this network looks like the Eden Resettlement Area twenty years ago is inseparable from her identity.

And her insistent attitude actually made Jiang Zhou doubt himself a little - thinking that this was his fault, could it be that he was really being sentimental?

Qianxia Sakura on the side took over the conversation.

"We are able to come here because of your blessing, and we will need this when we go back. If something goes wrong with you, then we will all become wanderers in the future."

The reasons she gave were more practical.

After hearing the two people's rebuttals, Jiang Zhou looked around for a while, and finally sighed:

"Okay, okay...it's just a simulator movie, so let's just watch it together."

After saying that, without waiting for the two ladies to object, he directly inserted the data connector behind him into the brain-computer interface on his occipital bone, then put on the cool-looking helmet and pressed the switch.

No matter how he said it, this simulacra called "Double Body" was a must-see for him. Since the poster uses his own image, there must be some special information that only he can discover.

The next moment he pressed the switch, Jiang Zhou felt that his consciousness was roughly inserted into an unfamiliar body.

At this moment, he was walking heavily on a weird and crooked street, and his emotions were as heavy as his steps.

After walking like this for a while, "I" suddenly raised his head.

The title "Doppelgänger" appears in the distant clouds.

What Jiang Zhou didn't know at this moment was that at this same moment, he was far away in another hemisphere and another continent. In the Apollo Biology branch in the Eden settlement area, in the majestic building called the "Sagittarius Palace", a top-secret data matrix began to spit out massive amounts of data crazily.

Since the short-lived "miracle" twenty years ago, it has once again given new data.

There's new data on the super-artificial intelligence "The Third Wish". (End of chapter)
