Cyber Heroes

[Well, that’s right, it’s me. 】 Ingrid said, 【I have only been active for less than ten years more than you. 】

[Oh my god...] Yawgmoth exclaimed, [What time is it now? What are humans like now? Is there any resistance left? Also, where is this place? 】

[There are many questions, let’s answer them one by one. ] Ingrid sighed, [This year is AD 2293. This place is called the AEGIS RIM, where most of the human biological brain is located. 】

The spacecraft is passing through a large man-made structure. This appears to be the interior of a cylindrical structure. The spacecraft's detection data showed that the corridor they were in for the spacecraft's flight was several kilometers wide. The dark corridor had no end in sight, only some artificial light sources were on.

Yawgmoth could see that the inner walls of this giant building were grid-shaped. There are many drones performing maintenance on this huge building.

AEGIS, in Greek mythology, originally belonged to Zeus and was later given to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. It was originally indestructible. Later, Athena mounted Medusa's head on the shield, and everyone who looked at the shield would turn to stone. Later, the United States Navy named the ship's automated command and combat system-"Aegis" after it.

——Turn into stone, this is quite vivid...

Yawgmoth thought. He could guess that there was at least one biological brain under each grid of the huge grid on the inner wall. The brains of all mankind have turned into stones to build this temple.

[This word later also had the meaning of "protection" - it is the protection of the weak by the strong, God's blessing for the elect...] While Ingrid added, Zhu Xinyu directly launched a series of abuses.

[What is the situation of these people now? 】

【what's the situation? Of course, living in cyberspace, the "doubt" emotions are suppressed, and then they can honestly develop productivity for His Majesty the Liberation Emperor. 】Zhu Xinyu said.

Yawgmoth was silent for a moment: [That's it... okay. At least...at least it won't be too bad. At least Xiangshan can provide a virtual world... this way...]

【oh? Do you think humans are living a happy life now? 】Zhu Xinyu was probably happy. If she had an expression, she would be gritting her teeth now. Even through the Internet connection, Yawgmoth could feel this emotion that was close to a curse.

Ingrid sighed: [Actually... more than a hundred years ago, Xiangshan just requisitioned some idle computing resources. Anyway, after humans have no bodies, the neural networks used to maintain breathing and body movements are idle. At that time, Xiangshan still wanted to manage cyberspace into a paradise. 】

[But...] Zhu Xinyu added sadly, [The Liberation Queen felt that that would be too inefficient. So he started resetting the scene to inspire humans to work with heart. 】

Yawgmoth recalled his experience in the illusion and said: [If it is not under the will of a tyrant... Isn't it unacceptable? 】

【You are totally wrong if you think so. ] Ingrid said calmly, [In fact, most people can't get the treatment you do. You are someone Xiangshan is familiar with, and you are also the best scholar, so you will naturally receive preferential treatment. You have a specially customized scene and several personas playing AI to serve you. 】

Zhu Xinyu said: [And a simple guy like you is also very easy to fool. 】

[But most people have to share scenes with other humans. ” Ingrid said, “Not everyone has lofty ideals, not everyone can continue to pay for their dreams, and not everyone can maintain themselves in the face of realistic setbacks. However, the Emperor of Liberation does not like lazy people. 】

[Moreover, dissatisfaction with reality will turn into a voice in the online world, and then become a trend of thought. If this kind of thing cannot be contained, it will also reduce people's work efficiency." Zhu Xinyu asked, "What do you think the Liberation Emperor will do at this time? 】

[Uh... strengthen education? 】

[That was Xiangshan two hundred years ago. 】Zhu Xinyu said. [Actually, Jiefanghuang’s system detects human brain activity. When the 'dissatisfaction' and 'lazy' index in the same server exceeds a certain level, the server will open a new expansion pack called "Alien Invasion". 】

Yawgmoth was silent for a moment: [Um... can humans now fight against a civilization that can cross the star sea? 】

[Probably not, but most people’s concept of ‘space war’ comes from movies. ] Zhu Xinyu said, [Even if there are smart people who think something is wrong, the system will put a guess in their minds, saying, "This may be a cultural phenomenon unique to aliens." 】

[Anyway, after the aliens come out, the entire server will enter a state of war. Humans who perform too poorly and simply give up on themselves will be quickly killed by alien action forces in the plot. In reality, their memory files will be written off, injected with a small dose of enzyme that restores the enzyme, and then placed on other servers for re-education. 】

[Those who stand up to resist will never know that, except for the fact that the 'alien leader' in the 'plot animation' is played by AI, the aliens who fight with them in street fights are actually humans from other servers - for Save resources, the city modeling of different servers is the same. When the number of 'lazy guys' and 'keyboard warriors' on the two servers reaches a certain level, the servers will merge, and people on both sides will feel like a group of aliens suddenly appeared in their world. 】

[The people on the two servers will continue to fight for the righteousness of "humanity's survival" and diligently process data... and by the way, they will also enrich the tactical database for the Liberation Emperor. 】

Yawgmoth was surprised and said: [You resistance forces still have cities? so smart? 】

Ingrid was silent for several seconds: [Uh... I think you misunderstood something, Yog. There are no more cities in the world that need a liberating emperor to liberate. He recorded the data of these people's battles purely because he wanted to record them. These research data are what it means. 】

Zhu Xinyu sighed: [Instead of letting people do nothing and waste their experience on fighting people on the Internet, it is better to let them study the technology of war. Maybe it will be used by invading aliens hundreds or thousands of years later - I Guess the Liberation Emperor thought so. 】

Yawgmoth only felt that it was outrageous: [Tactics are closely related to the level of technology...]

Zhu Xinyu sneered: [In the eyes of the Liberation Emperor, isn't "meaningful data that is temporarily unused" much more meaningful than "meaningless things"? 】

[Then, when a server reaches despair and can no longer extract its potential, the server will enter a new round of reincarnation. All anyone will remember is that they participated in a playtest. The script of Liberating the Emperor, let me think about it... Due to the confidentiality agreement with the game company, they cannot discuss the game in public before the "open beta". 】
