Epoch of Twilight

In the dark and deep universe, a huge meteorite stood still in the center as if it was fixed.

However, this meteorite is not so much a meteorite as it is a piece of land suspended in the starry sky. The entire land is about ten kilometers in circumference, with green mountains and green waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers. There seems to be a strange force around the entire land. Let the internal air not be lost in space.

A figure suddenly appeared in the open space at the foot of the land.

This person is Luo Yuan!

Before he saw this strange land, he felt a strong strangeness.

The power of his whole body, like a volcanic eruption, has dissipated without a trace, and his body seems to have a feeling of weakness that has been hollowed out. He clenched his fists, only feeling weak and powerless, as if he had returned to the ordinary before the end of the world. The frail body of man.

Not only that, but his five senses have also become extremely dull.

His sense of touch, which is so keen that he can sense dust falling on his skin, has completely disappeared, and his skin seems to be paralyzed. At the same time, his sense of smell and hearing have also become extremely dull, as if heavily filtered, and it seems to be nowhere near itching. As for the perception of will, it is still four-dimensional vision. It cannot be manifested here.

The strength of the whole body is gone.

There was no panic on his face, because this was not the real world, but a virtual world, and it had to be said that it was a rare experience to transform from a superman capable of carrying mountains to a weak ordinary person.

The physical quality of his body is just an ordinary person's body under the standard template. Except for the same appearance and figure as him, the rest is completely like another person.

At this time, several women from Luo Yuan also entered this world one after another.

"Wow, it's so real. The air is so fresh. I can feel the wind blowing against my skin. Is this a virtual world? It's almost like a real world." As soon as Wang Shishi entered this world, he had a fight with mutants. There was a lot of fuss.

It's just that mutants can't speak, they can only hiss.

Huang Jiahui, Zhao Yali and the others didn't scream like Wang Shishi, but they also looked incredible. Even the quiet Chen Jiayi was flushed, looking around curiously, and her big eyes became extremely agile.

Everything here is no different from the real world. They can clearly smell the fragrance of the grass, the wonderful touch of the breeze, have seen the same scene in the spaceship, and look at the natural green here. It's like washing away, and I feel refreshed for a while.

Huang Jiahui pinched herself secretly, feeling a sharp pain, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is so real, I can actually feel pain?"

Compared with the huge disparity between Luo Yuan and this virtual body, the gap between them is undoubtedly much smaller, and they can feel the reality of this world better.

Luo Yuan smiled slightly: "This is normal. This is a highly simulated virtual world. The quantum technology on the helmet is connected to all the nerve signals of the cerebral cortex, just like a brain in a vat...You can also see this body Cheng is a real body, she has all the physiological reactions of normal human beings, and can interact and interact with the virtual environment here..."

"Look, there is a green over there, let's go and have a look?" Zhao Yali shouted excitedly when she noticed that there was a fruit tree in the distance, with green or red fruits, which were really gratifying.

The mutated man's movements were slightly deformed and he ran over first. Obviously, he was used to the original powerful body. It was difficult to adapt to this standard body for a while, and the movements of the others were also a little twisted.

In a blink of an eye, everyone had already left, leaving Luo Yuan helplessly stopping his long speech. Obviously, to them, the piece of fruit trees was more interesting than this boring principle.

Luo Yuan was naturally ready to follow, but he didn't expect that his discomfort was more serious than the others. He had just taken the first step, and he had already sent the idea of ​​taking a step, but his legs did not move, as if from a responsive high-end sports car, It was replaced by a tractor, which was also badly rusted and heavy and dull.

Fortunately, this virtual world can change his physical fitness, but it can't change his thinking reaction speed. After only a second of grinding, he completely controlled this dull body.

After trotting for a few steps, he soon caught up with the crowd.

Most of this virtual world is a plain, only a hill exists in the center, and the orchard is at the foot of the mountain.

The beauty of the road is too beautiful to behold. Except for running for a while at the beginning, everyone’s footsteps slowed down unknowingly. While admiring this rare green, they talked and laughed towards the foot of the mountain.

A river winds down along the roadside, the water quality is crystal clear, a few fat fish swim upstream leisurely, occasionally setting off a splash.

"There are still fish here!" Wang Xiaguang said in surprise.

"These are made by researchers in some genetic laboratories inputting genetic data, otherwise there are only plants, it is too monotonous." Luo Yuan explained.

"These are carp, right?" Zhao Yali also asked with interest, "Are they edible?"

"Of course it can be eaten?" Luo Yuan said with a smile. Its genes may be different from those of real carp, but the taste is basically the same. , when the time comes we will have a wild barbecue."

Little Sister is what everyone calls mutants. Now she can fully understand human language, and has even learned human characters. She occasionally reads some novels, and she can tell that the term "mutant" discriminates against her. You If you call her a mutant, she will absolutely ignore you.

The mutant nodded excitedly, squatting cautiously by the river like a kitten, slowly stretching out his hands, probing and grasping, his eyes staring at the carp not far away, without blinking, ready to wait for the opportunity move.

Her previous experience gave her a wealth of experience in wilderness survival, which even Luo Yuan couldn't match.

Ten seconds later, she plunged into the water with one hand, and then yanked a carp to the shore. The next moment, the mutated man's fangs were slightly exposed, and his nails popped out. Holding down the carp, she tore its head hard with one hand, half of its head was almost torn off by her.

The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and it was done in one go. Obviously, he had caught many mutant fish before.

The wildness released for a short time made all the girls dumbfounded. Since returning to the human world, it has been difficult to see the wild side in mutants.

At this time, the mutant came back to his senses, and felt the expressions of surprise or fear on the faces of the crowd. The eyes that made her feel kind at first seemed to suddenly become unfamiliar and guarded. Her excited expression quickly slipped, and her face darkened. , Seeing her bloody hands, she hurried back to the shore and washed her hands vigorously.

Luo Yuan walked over and patted her head: "It's okay, no one here has killed fish. They kill more fish than you, but everyone is more surprised by the way you kill fish."

Everyone also reacted and came over to apologize.

Fortunately, the mutant's sadness came and went quickly, and he soon smiled.

With the encouragement of everyone, she grabbed another one, but this time, maybe it was the reaction of everyone before that made her feel a little restrained, but it was not as wild as before.

...

Several people walked slowly for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the orchard.

This is a piece of apple tree, the rich sweet fragrance permeates the surrounding air, making people feel intoxicated for a while.

Everyone stepped forward to pick it excitedly, Luo Yuan also picked one, took a bite, and chewed slowly, a sweet and sour taste filled the entire mouth.

The taste of this apple is almost the same as that of real apples, but there are still some differences in aftertaste. After all, human's memory of the taste of apples is too long, and no matter how they are restored, it is impossible to be completely consistent.

The reality of this virtual world is quite high, and there is almost no difference from the real world. Even the physical rules, ordinary detection can't feel the difference.

Every piece of grass, every tree, even soil, rocks, and every inch of matter is made up of atoms. This is not the most microscopic structure of matter. Inside the atom, it also has electrons and nuclei , the nucleus is divided into protons and neutrons.

It's just that at this point, the random quantum movement of microscopic particles cannot be simulated by human computers, which makes this world a little false.

But at least the rules of physics at the atomic level are exactly the same as in the real world.

In order to build this world, Luo Yuan specially approved the construction of sixty-five super quantum computers to provide computing resources for it. The space for the accommodation alone occupies a super building.

If it is used for living, it can accommodate 800,000 people.

With the tight space resources inside the spacecraft today, such a large part of the space is naturally not used to make virtual games. In the near future, this place will be used as an experimental area and a technology verification factory.

Nowadays, the limited space of spaceships has become more and more an obstacle to human development, especially the originally empty factory area has become overcrowded.

Most of the applications for newly established factories were ruthlessly rejected. Some dangerous experiments were strictly prohibited. Many technologies were helplessly shelved because they could not be verified or developed. As time went by, this situation would become more and more serious. Greatly influence the development of technology.

This is also the reason why Luo Yuan built this real virtual world at all costs.

Even in this world, the degree of reality still cannot be compared with the real world, but except for some high-end experiments that require strict observation of the movement of microscopic particles, most factories and laboratories have no influence here.

Even nuclear fusion power plants and quantum communications can still be used normally here.

Today, this virtual world is still in the process of being constructed, and it is still in its infancy. Some physical rules and material composition structures are also constantly being adjusted and adapted to match the real world.

At the edge of the floating island, one can see inch by inch of land and rivers, emerging out of nothing, growing out of thin air, constantly growing and growing.

According to estimates, if the formal construction of this world is completed, the area here will reach 1,200 square kilometers. Once it is officially put into operation, the space problem of human development, at least the space requirement for technological advancement, will be greatly alleviated.

...

Everyone found a flat land, some dug a hole, some built a stove, and some looked for dry firewood. Everyone was very interested.

But when it was ready to grill, it was found that there was no fire source at all.

"What should we do? Are we going to drill wood to make fire?" Wang Shishi looked at the fish that had been forked and washed and was about to be grilled, with a disappointed expression on his face.

Drilling wood to make fire, don't know when it will take?

Luo Yuan felt a little helpless. If this wasn't a virtual world, it wouldn't be such a hassle. Not to mention willpower, even a slight rubbing of fingers can make the wood reach the point of fire in an instant.

"Forget it!" Luo Yuan said, "Number One!"

"Master, what are your orders?" The next moment, a clear and pleasant voice appeared in Luo Yuan's ear.

He is the highest authority of the world's intellectual brain!

The core control program of this virtual world, which is crucial to human beings, has been strictly controlled and reviewed at various levels since its construction. As political correctness, its highest authority will naturally not be someone else.

"Give me the igniter." Luo Yuan paused for a moment, his heart moved, and then he asked again: "How many edible animal and plant models are there that have been restored?"

"Up to now, there are nine types of models in total, including animals: cattle, pigs, and carp; vegetables: green vegetables, cauliflower, and eggplant; fruits: apples, oranges, and bananas."

"There are so many!" Luo Yuan whispered, biological models are not so easy to make, because this world is highly realistic, and the restoration of each creature is based on the level of real genetic technology, which can be restored in the virtual world. Need to have equivalent technology in reality. This is also the reason why the plants and organisms here are extremely monotonous. After all, compared to inorganic substances such as minerals, the construction of organisms is undoubtedly tens of thousands of times more difficult.

It seems that it won't be long before these foods will appear in the real world!

Luo Yuan's thought flashed, and he continued: "I'm going to prepare a picnic now, and I'll have a portion of all the prepared ingredients and fruits."

"Please wait!"

It was said to wait a moment, but in fact there was not much time interval. Before Zhinao’s voice fell, a large number of neatly arranged ingredients and fruits suddenly appeared in front of him, covering the whole floor. Of course, there is also the indispensable igniter , the quantity is enough to feed and drink for a hundred people.

Seeing the miraculous scene, everyone didn't make any fuss, since this is a virtual world after all.

"Brother Luo, who were you talking to just now?" Wang Shishi asked curiously. As soon as the topic came up, everyone looked at Luo Yuan.

"The brain of this world!" Of course, Luo Yuan didn't need to hide this.

"Is it number one?" Wang Shishi asked, blinking his eyes.

Luo Yuan lit the firewood, turned his head and cursed with a smile, interrupting his little thoughts: "Don't worry about it! This world is not for playing, it's an exception to be able to enter, and you don't have permission, and the brain won't respond , only senior researchers will have certain authority in the future, so please don’t make trouble.”
