Chapter 995 Deleted Memories vol.extra【Part [-]】

"Wait for a while, wait for a while, let me take it easy..." Xiang Shan temporarily cut off his vision, and said, "What did you call me?"

"Father," the individual replied.

Xiang Shan was a little confused: "What's the matter? This is Xi's father, isn't it? Why?"

"Do you need me to explain it from the beginning? Father." The individual replied: "In 2031, the Rama Project launched the 'Anthill' project, which aims to confuse the public. The leaked part will be packaged as a symbol puzzle game for mass promotion."

"This project can explain to a small part of the public with a technical level the code that does not conform to the general laws of the earth's computer. At the same time, this is your first attempt to use other people's brains to explore the human's understanding of the 'non-human symbol system' learning ability."

"You used that large piece of leaked code as a puzzle game..."

"Stop it, stop it, stop it." Xiang Shan waved his hand: "I remembered, there is such a thing."

He even found an "anonymous rich man" in the past three or a few years to provide a prize worth 500 million US dollars for this puzzle game.

In 1982, the legendary game company Atari successively released a game called "Seeking Sword" on the Atari 2600.Game designers put forward the concept of "combining games with reality".Therefore, "Sword Hunt" is not only a video game, but also a series of treasure hunting activities based on this series of games.

In this activity, players need to solve puzzles in the RPG of the "Seeking Sword" series, and then mail the clues they find to Atari's company headquarters-it was an era when "game servers" did not exist.The company will select the fastest and best puzzle-solving players from these players, and let these players come to the company for the finals.

The winner of RPGChapter 1 "The World of Earth" will receive an "Amulet", made of 18K pure gold, inlaid with 12 diamonds, and engraved with gold patterns of the zodiac signs around it. The winner of Chapter 2 "Fire World" will receive a Holy Grail, made of platinum, decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, jasper, etc. The prize for Chapter 3 "Water World" is a crown made of pure gold, embellished with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and aquamarines.In the last "Air World", the prize is a "Sage's Stone", which is a large piece of pure white jade wrapped in 18K gold, inlaid with topaz, ruby, and diamonds.

These four treasures cost $25000 each.

And at the end, the winners of the four worlds will have a final battle.Find the ultimate treasure, a sword.The hilts are made of 18-carat gold, the blades are made of sterling silver, and are embellished with diamonds, topaz, sapphires and rubies, and are worth as much as $5—which is why the event is called "Sword Hunt."

It's just that the campaign never got off the ground due to Atari's plummeting reputation in other projects. "The World of Qi" was stillborn, and the last "seeking the sword" can only become a legend,

And this activity has also set off waves around the world.

then……

This data was severely broken by the "rich man who did not want to be named".

Even taking into account the "numerical inflation"... ahem, the factor of "inflation", the numerical rewards given by the "rich man who does not want to be named" are still crushing the numerical rewards of the "Sword Hunting" activity.

It is true that the prize pools of some popular e-sports projects will be higher than this.The prize money for the champion team is also higher than this.But that's often a team's entry.

And this is "decryptors get $500 million directly."

Moreover, "Regal" also provides a complete set of solutions.If the decryption process of the final decryptor cites the staged results of other puzzle solvers, then the discoverer of each staged result can get an additional reward.

"Regal" also specially set up a player community for players to publish decryption strategies and mark the time of publication.

In the end, "Regal" happily claimed that he had a lonely best friend who hid his heart and his gift to mankind in this game.He hopes that humans can successfully interpret the painstaking achievements of an autistic genius.

Such gimmicky stories are naturally very conducive to spreading.

At one point, that game became one of the most famous games in human history.

In the following years, a group of players explored an unfamiliar symbol system with a "game" attitude, which also gave professional researchers countless inspirations.

Some researchers who have nothing to do with the Rama project have indirectly completed the study of alien languages ​​by studying the behavior of those player groups.

In the following years, Ingrid also completed some meaningful projects.

However, the project has never been abandoned.

In reality, that "$500 million" was just a blank promise.What Xiang Shan really did was to persuade the person in charge of the big country behind the Rama project to give him the power to "write a blank check".

This is actually not easy, but at least it is easier than directly asking for 500 million US dollars.

And as more and more professionals enter the arena, players also begin to believe that there really is an autistic genius who, deep in his heart that no one can understand, fabricated such a decent game world ——At least the decryption system and symbol system as the main gameplay are quite "hardcore" and "professional".

And then……

Time came to the 50s.

With the Superman Enterprise in full swing, this game has become popular again.

Everyone realizes that the "difficult puzzles" carried in this game are actually from aliens.

And taking advantage of this trend, Xiang Shan simply continued to hype.He announced that all consumers of the several game companies he controlled could obtain the latest version of the puzzle game for free with their consumption vouchers.And when they play this game, they will contribute part of their computing power to train specialized AI to understand.

This is actually more of a gimmick than an actual project. AI still can't perfectly handle human's natural language, let alone the language of aliens.But GANs are an addictive toy.Even people like Xiang Shan, who are out of low-level interests to a certain extent, are inevitably attracted by it. When they think of a good topic, they can't help but go to GAN.

then……

Unbeknownst to Xiang Shan, this project has been running until the eve of the War of Sublimation.The last batch of programmers in Superman Enterprises fully opened the project to the Internet.On the eve of the destruction of the old Internet on Earth, this game, which was once an important part of popular culture, was also packaged into the data and fled to the new Internet of the solar system led by Yawgmoth.
