Dream Guide

Bian Ziyuan stared at the GHOST folder on the computer desktop in a daze.

This folder suddenly appeared in his computer. He clearly remembered it before going to bed that day. After turning on the computer the next day, it suddenly appeared in a very conspicuous position on the screen.

Bian Ziyuan was still in his hometown during those days. He has not been home for more than a year. After being hired by Mei's laboratory, his work achievements this year were obvious to all, and the professor generously gave him a large bonus.

He originally wanted to buy a space box. The bonus he received was enough and there was still a slight surplus. But when he remembered that all the food he had spent on food over the years was his parents' hard-earned money, he decided to take most of the money back home. Anyway, according to the dream guide As long as nothing goes wrong with the development of the game, the money he will receive in the next few years will be enough to support his family in retirement.

Bian Ziyuan asked for leave from the professor in advance and tried to borrow a box back. The reason was that he wanted to take advantage of the holiday to get familiar with the game again and see if there were any improvements in the program. In addition, he could go back to his hometown to promote it.

Of course, promotion is all cliche. The space box does not need promotion at all. If the production capacity could not keep up, sales would have gone up long ago. Even if they want to promote it, a small place like his hometown is not suitable.

He didn't expect that the professor readily agreed.

Since returning home, he has been studying Cronus's intellectual flaws, hoping to make it more perfect. In fact, he could no longer fully control Cronus at this time. In the world of Dream Guide, Cronus is a god, and its wisdom is not much different from that of real people, at least in Bian Ziyuan's view. The only problem is that it cannot learn from the real world. anything.

The game network of Dream Guide is not connected to the Internet. It is a separate network implemented through quantum encryption technology. To put it bluntly, it and the Internet are two different worlds. All signals now rely on quantum satellites, which also limits the development of the game. However, related base station construction is already being prepared. Since Professor Mei persuaded investors to use independent base stations, it is generally believed that this will likely eliminate the newly emerging 5G. In the future, the entire Internet will be replaced by Dream Guide. The circle has given it a new term - "Dreamnet" to distinguish it from the traditional Internet.

People in the Internet industry smelled the danger, and some began to study Dreamnet and seek cooperation; others simply opposed the two networks to develop in isolation, believing that this would greatly consume social resources.

Bian Ziyuan actually doesn't quite understand why he has to confront the Internet. Of course, he worked in the laboratory and learned some secrets unknown to the outside world.

For example, the original intention of developing the Dream Guide game was to identify the existence of parasitic consciousness. Although the black box principle of the space box was not within his understanding and authority as a programmer, Cronos' ability completely covered the black box. In other words, the black box The recorded list of suspected parasites was a top secret that even Bian Ziyuan didn't know about, but Cronus knew about it.

In addition, he also knows something about the emergence of autonomous consciousness on the Internet. The professor sometimes did not avoid Mei Ziqing when talking to him. He was flattered by this kind of trust, but he was also very confused. What is his position in the team?

If Monternet is connected to the Internet, then Cronus can learn and progress through self-learning through information on the Internet. But now, Bian Ziyuan can only tell Cronus about the world he knows in the game. This slowed Cronus's growth, like a super smart child with a very high IQ but low EQ, who could only rely on adults to teach him little by little.

This process is very enjoyable for Bian Ziyuan, just like training his own child. But Cronus was growing increasingly impatient.

Yes, it's emotion.

Bian Ziyuan discovered the flaw of Cronus. A machine with emotions is indeed very human, but just like a middle school boy who has entered the rebellious period, emotions may also destroy his future.

This was something he hadn't thought of when he originally inserted that line of code, but he didn't know how to improve it. It's impossible to change back and become the original Cronus, right?

In fact, that amazing line of code was not something he came up with, but something he dreamed of. That day he had been thinking about Cronus' self-learning ability and intelligent mode. When he was too tired from thinking about it, he lay on the table and fell asleep with the computer in his arms. He dreamed of that line of code in his sleep. On a two-dimensional unfolded plane, it was all a combination of numbers 0 and 1. Others couldn't understand such things, but he did.

In the past, he rarely remembered his dreams, but he remembered that dream very clearly. He restored the string of numbers into codes, and he saw a genius logic that he had been thinking about but never imagined.

Later, he implanted the code into Cronus' background program. From then on, Pandora's box was opened, and Cronus was no longer a program at his mercy.

Now, it is far impossible for Bianzi to let Cronus go back to the past. Even if he wanted to do that, he might not be able to do it, because he was not sure what the consequences would be, not only for Cronus, but also for the entire Dream Guide game.

When he was at his wits end, this GHOST folder appeared on his computer.

He checked the computer system and found that there were no background programs running and the computer was not infected.

As a genius who has written dozens of virus programs, as well as smart programs like Cronus, his computer has always been invulnerable. He does not need to install any anti-virus software, and no virus can escape his eyes. Survive under the child.

There are many programs named "GHOST", the most common one is Symantec's hard disk backup and restore tool, but its name does not mean "ghost", but the acronym for General Hardware Oriented System Transfer. .

The GHOST in front of me is obviously not a system tool, it is just an ordinary folder, but it appears like a real "ghost".

Inside the folder is a txt file filled with code.

Bian Ziyuan looked at it again, and his heart started to beat loudly. Part of this was exactly the method he had been seeking to correct Cronus's level of rationality.

He was so excited that he rushed back to Wuzhong that day without even thinking about it, but he forgot that the professor had gone to the United States, the core system modification permission was locked, and he could not enter the quantum data center at all.

Fortunately, by mistake, Yao Jingjing temporarily gave him the key for safekeeping. The new security guard, Lao Yu, was proficient in lock picking skills and had no idea how he opened the lock. Anyway, Bian Ziyuan got in.

Of course, he is not completely irrational. He remembered that there was also a GHOST folder on the professor's computer and knew that it was related to Internet consciousness.

To be on the safe side, he went to the basement, where it is said that Aoki communicated with the Internet consciousness, the same one they took part in the Turing test.

The basement was full of cold machines and nothing could be seen. He connected his laptop to the server, opened the GHOST folder again, created another txt document, and entered a sentence in it:

"Did you write the code for me?"

There was a response in the document quickly, as if someone was chatting with him using a chat tool:

"Yes, genius boy!"

"There's a part of the code I can't understand."

"Which part?"

Bian Ziyuan copied several lines of code from another txt document. As a computer software genius, his heart breaks down when faced with code he cannot understand. He hopes that the other party will say that it is a mistake or irrelevant content. But the other side obviously didn't intend to do what he wanted.

"You don't need to understand this part."

Bian Ziyuan was a little angry: "Why? What is this written?"

"Only by letting Cronus master spiritual power can he truly become a god in that world!"

"What is spiritual power? How to master it?"

"Psychic power is everywhere! Write the code and he will know it naturally."
