Blizzard.

"The twenty-ninth test begins."

In the most secluded place of this company, 20 of the best "players" from Mensa are wearing helmets at the moment.

"With today's computers, there is no way to realize artificial intelligence. But if we rely on humans themselves, there will be unexpected effects."

Although it is said to be a research and development test of a "virtual reality" online game, in fact, this is a collaboration between Blizzard and Hive to study human thinking and brain development.

In this process, the Mensa association that Catherine joined played a very good role. Through Mensa, Hive invited a group of highly intelligent "players" to play in this virtual reality.

But in fact, this is just a test.

These so-called players actually enter a place that is no different from an ordinary room.

They just want to chat and joke.

But in fact, among these people, three are not humans, but artificial intelligence.

To be precise, it is not artificial intelligence, but an NPC that relies on the brain resources of these 20 people.

These NPCs themselves were born relying on these people themselves.

In this "game", they cannot know which people are NPCs and which ones are PCs. After each "game", they have to tell Blizzard who they think are the NPCs.

Facts have proved that the effect is very successful.

At the beginning, because the technology was not very successful, these people could easily tell who the NPCs were.

But in recent times, with the improvement of technology level, it is no longer that simple to know who is the NPC.

The images of these people in the game are generated at random. Apart from men and women, they have no more images that can be used to distinguish each other in the game.

Part of this technology was once used to develop "Menendez", and now, another part of this technology is ready for commercialization.

Human logical thinking ability is actually different from computer calculations.

The data generated from the human brain is fuzzy and ambiguous. In its current state, there seems to be no way to apply it to general scientific research.

But on the other hand, this vague and ambiguous thinking ability seems to be good for building a "human NPC".

These NPCs are an existence derived from the resources of the human brain itself. Without players, these NPCs would not have intelligence. But as the number of players increases, these NPCs will become more and more "human".

, this is really good game material.

Relying on the biological science of this world, human beings' understanding of the brain has far exceeded the level that the original world should have. At this time, development seems to have begun to become somewhat deformed.

Catherine had already used brainwave scanning equipment ten years ago.

Now, the price of brainwave scanning equipment has dropped to US$25,000 per unit. It relies on the player's own resources to perform calculations. Therefore, the configuration of this equipment itself is not very high, so there is "commercialization"

value.

Of course, if you want to talk about it, such a virtual reality game is definitely different from the game in the novel that can be played while sleeping, because in this game, the player's brain resources will be consumed, but it is not the same.

That’s more. If I put it bluntly, 6 hours of gaming is probably equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging.

But to another extent, this kind of game mode can also enhance the brain's computing power. Playing games is equivalent to improving the brain's thinking ability... This is really a good deal.

After the game started, Catherine also walked in here.

"Is it really possible to improve my application of 'psionic energy' through this method?"

Catherine looked at Jenny.

Okay, she suddenly felt that naming her "Nether Energy" seemed a little painful and broken. She really didn't know what happened. How did she come up with this strange name in the first place? In fact, Catherine felt that if it was called

In terms of "magic power", it seems to be more powerful. Hmm... maybe it's the "emanation from the source"?

"Do you still remember when you were drifting on the Internet?"

Catherine nodded: "Speaking of which, I really want to go back and see such a strange online world...it must be interesting."

"Your consciousness appears in that world in the form of a spiritual body, which has a very wonderful effect on you in the quantum state. The 'nether energy' began to affect the environment around you, and it was also after that." Jenny said seriously.

Said: "After brainwave scanning, the connection between the person and the body is actually blocked, and then the person's mind enters another virtual world. This situation is similar to the Internet, and it is more comprehensive.

Yes, if you do this, there will be no danger."

Catherine nodded: "But it's just a chat game... there's really nothing wrong with it... By the way, with this model of yours, how many people can be connected into the virtual world at most?"

Catherine asked the employee next to her.

"For a single server, we can provide up to 15,000 people. If there are more, artificial intelligence will cause unexpected chaos. However, we usually have to retain a lot of redundancy during experiments, so our servers can access up to

Ten thousand people.”

Catherine suddenly laughed.

"Looking at it this way, I suddenly had a good idea..."

Maybe...can do this?

"Let's build a virtual world!"

Catherine suddenly said this.

"Virtual world?"

The employees suddenly froze.

"Yes, it's not a small room, but a real virtual world. In this case, it will be very interesting!"

What Catherine said is actually relatively easy to implement now.

With the advancement of technology, especially after the research and development of Menendez, they have made breakthrough progress in their research on brain markers.

In the past, their virtual world was to truly present a virtual reality world and perform functions such as 3D modeling.

But now, they only need to input specific identifiers into the human brain and let the human brain do the "brain correction" on its own. In this way, a lot of resources can be saved. Even with current technology,

It can still be done!

"That's right, if the game is a bit monotonous, you can't stay in it for too long..."

Speaking of which, Catherine doesn't need to stay in that world for long. It's just to strengthen Catherine's "psionic power", so there needs to be a convenient thing. For the current Catherine, this convenience can improve her own strength.

The thing is undoubtedly the current virtual reality game.

For this group of people who have never been exposed to the virtual world, chatting in that virtual world seems to be a very good thing, but for Catherine, this is obviously not attractive. So, Catherine now has a

A more daring plan-just call other people over to play games with you!

"Is it appropriate to do this suddenly?"

Jenny was a little confused.

"It's not like I did it suddenly, because I've been thinking about it before." Catherine hugged her chest: "To put it bluntly, this should be consistent with my ultimate goal. And if I do this, will it?

What about bigger changes in the future...I’m very curious.”

If virtual reality is popularized at this time, what will the world look like thirty years later?

Catherine was very curious.

Maybe there will be some interesting changes...

"I plan to build a fantasy world with magic." Catherine said: "There are magic, elves, and dragons. In short, it is a very interesting fantasy world."

Catherine smiled: "By the way, we can also set each server to a different region on the continent. Every place is different. In this case, it will be more realistic... Hmm, that's pretty good."

"Ahem, I think now is not the time to think about games, but to think about how to strengthen your psionic power."

Catherine's thoughts were flying out of the sky, but she couldn't help but return to reality again.

No way, the word "psionic energy" is too harsh, and Catherine now really regrets that she thought of such a name randomly.

Having said that, if I really named it an AT force field, would it be more uncomfortable?

From this perspective, Catherine is somewhat fortunate...

"And speaking of it, wouldn't it be more appropriate if your technology were sold to the military? I think the military value of this technology should be far beyond games, right?"

This is how normal people view virtual reality.

Indeed, with such technology, the effect will be very good when used for actual combat training. And it is far better than using it as a game engine.

However, Catherine shook her head.

"I think rather than having military purposes, I would rather do something that I want to do. Wouldn't it be great to make the world a little more interesting?"

Catherine had actually begun to conceive of the game at this time.

She wanted a truly interesting otherworldly game.

At this time, a game called Girl's Scroll... it was the Elder Scrolls, appeared in Catherine's mind. Among all the games she had ever seen, this one seemed to be the most interesting.

If possible, Catherine would like to make a game somewhat similar to this. However, the magic in this game is not very powerful. Catherine thought about it and felt that it could be corrected.

"By the way, what's a good name for the game...Hmm, Knight's Sword seems good?"

…

OK, resume updating.
