Dream Guide

In the real world outside the box, two minutes is too short.

Mei Ziqing watched Qingmu and Su Huilan lie in, the box lid was closed, and the professor pressed the start button. She had several questions in her mind. Before she could ask them, the space box made a beeping sound, and the lid panel became transparent again. , and then slowly turn on.

The two people who had just laid down sat up, as if they were newlyweds who came here to buy furniture and just sat down to test the comfort.

Su Huilan rubbed her temples and moved her arms. When she saw Aoki standing outside the box, she smiled and said, "You are really fast!"

Mei Yiqiu said: "The way he gets up is not as graceful as you."

Aoki stretched lazily and said, "No matter how elegant you crawl out of the coffin, you still look like a zombie."

Su Huilan's smile froze, she quickly stepped out of the box with a cold face, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "You are the zombie!"

Aoki laughed twice.

Su Huilan became even more angry and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Aoki looked at him and said, "You can't quit this game by yourself. If the time setting fails, or you accidentally set it for too long, wouldn't you have to live in it until you go crazy?"

Bian Ziyuan on the side said: "We have also considered this issue you mentioned. Time control is indeed troublesome. Our experimental samples are too small, and everyone's brain cell activity and metabolism are different, resulting in the same time in dreams. The degree of expansion is different. However, this expansion is not necessarily in time, it can also be in space. You feel that time is too long now because you did not create more things in the dream. This is a game, if you If you can focus on the world of the game itself, time will fly by quickly.”

Aoki didn't expect that this young man who had just arrived at the laboratory would be so deeply involved in the development of this game, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration. As far as he knew, the development of the space box gathered the wisdom of the world's top physicists, and the Dream Guide game was not just a game, it was a cutting-edge exploration of life sciences.

Mei Yiqiu smiled slightly and seemed very satisfied with this new student.

"As for the machine failure problem," Bian Ziyuan glanced at Mei Yiqiu and received encouragement from the professor, then continued, "We are already thinking of ways to improve it. The second generation space box will definitely have a reasonable technical means to solve it. It prevents accidents. In addition, the core of our game design is to rely on the player's wisdom, but there is also a built-in super-powerful program - Cronos."

"Cronos?" Aoki frowned, "Is this the artificial intelligence you developed?"

"Yes." When talking about Cronus, Bianzi was far from proud, "We are trying to let Cronus understand the expression of human consciousness. When there are more game test samples, he should be able to analyze the player's The purpose of consciousness, when the player wants to quit the game, Cronus can know it with just a thought."

"You mean to hand over the player's rights to an artificial intelligence?" Aoki thought it would be more reliable to do it at regular intervals.

"You can rest assured that Cronus is running very stably and there will be no problems, unless there is a problem with the entire system, such as a power outage, but in that case, the space box will also stop working, and players can naturally exit the game." Bian. Ziyuan said.

Aoki shook his head disapprovingly, his face a little heavy.

Bian Ziyuan felt slighted. Cronus was his most proud design and was unanimously praised by Mei Yiqiu and other top scientists. The professor not only retained the name "Cronos" for this program, but also made him the creator god in the game world.

He asked somewhat unhappily: "Mr. Aoki, do you have any questions?"

Aoki ignored him, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Su Huilan glanced at Aoki and smiled: "I think Mr. Aoki is not worried about machine failure, but is worried about Cronus itself."

Bian Ziyuan said very confidently: "Cronos is a program developed by me, so there will be no problems."

"Really?" Su Huilan said, "Your Cronus can recognize human consciousness. Do you think you can still control him? If he doesn't want a person to wake up, will that cause this People will never wake up?"

Bian Ziyuan was stunned for a moment and said: "This...unless he changes the code for himself, but..."

"No but, Cronus can indeed do it." Mei Yiqiu, who had been silent at the side, suddenly interrupted Bian Ziyuan's answer, "The God of Creation naturally has his unparalleled power and power in that world. energy."

"Then why should Cronus be restrained?" Su Huilan asked.

Mei Yiqiu said: "So we have formulated the underlying rules, which are the basic physical rules of that world, which cannot be changed by gods. On the other hand, don't we have two gods, and gods can interact with each other? Constraints.”

"You mean..." Su Huilan looked at Qingmu in surprise, and then chuckled, "I didn't see that he had any stamina just now, and he didn't even..."

Su Huilan wanted to say that Aoki couldn't even enter the mirror that guides dreams, but she was interrupted by Aoki before she could finish her words.

"This is the first time I've even seen a prehistoric town. What kind of god are you!" Aoki sighed, and then asked Mei Yiqiu, "Why do you design such a strange pyramid?"

Su Huilan glanced at Qingmu curiously, then looked at Mei Yiqiu equally curiously, waiting for his answer.

Mei Yiqiu did not shy away from anything and said in front of everyone: "Oh, do you remember when you came to ask me about that strange symbol? We had already discussed the issue of the pyramids at that time. Since our scientific research ship disappeared Since then, we have made a lot of efforts, hoping to find traces of those scientists, and at the same time, we have increased our research on the underwater ruins in the South Pacific. Unfortunately, it disappeared, and now all that is left to us are a few extremely precious photos and A piece of video material.”

"However, our research on the mirror pyramid is not without progress. We simulated a multi-dimensional corresponding mirror space on the computer, which is also the core idea of ​​​​the development of Space Box and Dream Guide games. So when we were discussing the game plan, this The design plan for the prehistoric town was unanimously approved. This not only reflects the concept of game design, but also reminds us that there is a pyramid on the banks of the Nile and at the bottom of the South Pacific, and humans four thousand years ago may have mastered mirror images. A symmetrical universe and a way to reverse space-time.”

After Bian Ziyuan joined the laboratory, he has been busy improving the design of Kronos and the development of the Dream Guide game. Although he has understood many causes and consequences, he rarely has the opportunity to hear the professor talk about these things directly. He interrupted curiously and asked: "Are you saying that the submarine pyramid disappeared because it entered another universe?"

Mei Yiqiu said: "It may not be another universe, it may be a higher dimension. It is actually still there, but we can't see it."

"That means the scientific research ship has also entered the advanced dimension. Maybe those scientists have made important discoveries, and they can solve this mystery when they come back!" Bian Ziyuan said excitedly.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come back." A look of sadness appeared on the professor's face, "I just got the news not long ago that the wreckage of a scientific research ship was found near the Tubuai Islands, and no crew members survived."
