Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1444: Little white mouse, why do you live?

“Can people sit in it?”

"Oval ..."

The three little ones were all confused and had no idea what Qin Zhibo was talking about.

But after Qin Zhibo's reminder, Conan's face was stunned, and suddenly something came to his mind.

"You mean 'cocoon'?"

"Bingo!"

Cocoon, the world's first next-generation game console with full stealth capabilities.

As a gaming console, Cocoon's capabilities undoubtedly far exceed the world's expectations.

The use of the most advanced virtual reality technology can fully control the five senses and bring players the gaming experience that is closest to the real world.

However, due to a major accident at the Cocoon's launch conference in Japan, the "Cocoon" project was shelved indefinitely, and the development company behind the project, Sindorah, was forced into bankruptcy liquidation.

Many technological achievements of the "Cocoon" project have been used to repay the company's debts to the project investors.

The largest investor in Sintra Corporation is Japan's Suzuki Group.

The 51 "Cocoon" prototypes used at the launch conference in Japan are now placed in Suzuki's technical development building.

By using the "cocoon", Curacao can repeat yesterday's "exciting experience" without leaving the hospital.

"cocoon!"

"Is it really Cocoon? Can we play that game console again?"

Hearing the name of that epoch-making game console again, the three little ones were filled with excitement, completely forgetting all the thrilling scenes that happened at the press conference.

Conan was still a little scared, as he vaguely remembered the thrilling situation that happened at the game launch conference.

The game content collapsed in various ways, Holmes became a villain, and Moriarty was ordered by the authorities to arrest Holmes.

Then the game world was overrun by green slime and tentacles, like a computer virus.

After the green slime, a yellow light appeared.

And the death threat of Noah's Ark...

All in all, that game is the worst game Conan has ever played.

Feng Jianyu, who was standing by, did not understand what Qin Zhibo was talking about, so he quickly asked, "Mr. Qin, what is the 'cocoon' you are talking about?"

“It’s a gaming machine, but it can use virtual reality technology to completely simulate human senses in the real world.”

"Virtual Reality?"

Yuya Kazami, who doesn't often pay attention to these cutting-edge technologies, felt a little confused.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo could only change his words.

"In layman's terms, as long as there is that machine, Curacao can repeat what happened yesterday without leaving the hospital."

"Oh, is that so..." Yuya Kazami nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Ayumi, who was standing short, raised her head in confusion and asked, "Who is Curacao?"

“Curaçao is…”

The words that Qin Zhibo blurted out were caught by the three little ones.

Conan quickly stepped forward and interrupted with a smile: "You two go out and wait for a while, Uncle Qin has other things to do, be good..."

After pushing the three little ones out of the room, Conan put on a serious face and said to Qin Zhibo: "Are you sure you want to use the 'Cocoon'?"

"That machine is very dangerous..."

Conan still can't forget how critical the situation was when he was threatened with killing everyone if Noah's Ark didn't pass.

Qin Zhibo smiled and said, "The machine itself is innocent. No matter how advanced the technology is, it depends on who uses it and how it is used..."

“What about the artificial intelligence Noah’s Ark?”

“What should I do if it appears again this time?”

Conan's face was tense, and his deep blue eyes looked at Qin Zhibo seriously.

Yuya Kazami, who was standing aside, was like a duck hearing thunder. He could not understand a word of the conversation between the two.

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan, who was standing shorter than him, and sighed.

There are some things that should be told to the children...

"Come on, let's go outside first."

"I have something to show you."

……

After leaving the police hospital, Qin Zhibo drove Conan and the three little ones to Dr. Agasa's house.

After settling the three little ones in the living room on the first floor to play, Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Dr. Agasa came to the underground laboratory.

Qin Zhibo took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and plugged it into the main computer in the laboratory.

"The next moment is the moment of witnessing a miracle, please don't blink..."

The moment the computer read the USB flash drive, a Q-version cartoon character jumped out from the edge of the screen.

Conan and Dr. Agasa, who were staring at the screen, were both stunned, not knowing what this meant.

The next second, the computer speakers suddenly made a sound.

"Hello, Dr. Agasa."

"We meet again."

The old man and the young boy were startled by the sudden sound of the speakers, their eyes full of confusion.

But gradually, Dr. Agasa's eyes gradually brightened.

"I know! It's Noah's Ark!"

“Is this Noah’s Ark?”

As a scientist who was invited to the United States by Yusaku Kudo to help Syndora develop game software, Dr. Agasa, as a game developer, once used the world's first artificial intelligence - Noah's Ark.

So, Dr. Agasa thought of this voice first.

"Noah's Ark!"

Conan's face was suddenly startled, and he stared at the Q-version man on the screen in disbelief.

Thinking of Qin Zhibo's action of inserting the USB flash drive into the computer host just now, he immediately understood the reason.

"How come Noah's Ark is in your USB drive?"

At this time, the speaker made a sound again.

"My name is not Noah's Ark, my name is Hiroki Sawada."

Conan was surprised for a moment and turned to look at the Q version man on the screen, but then turned to look at Qin Zhibo.

"It's a long story..."

"If I were to finish telling you everything, I don't think an hour would be enough."

"Let's hurry up and get the business done now."

Qin Zhibo walked to the computer and asked Sawada Hiroki, "I need you to create a scene that exists in the real world and can be put into the Cocoon game console for people to use. How long will it take?"

After a brief thought, Hiroki Sawada replied, "It depends on the size of the real scene and whether there are architectural blueprints and real image data of the real scene."

"The building blueprint should be fine. The area will be roughly the size of the Toudou Aquarium."

"You can find this on the Internet..."

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Sawada Hiroki gave his answer.

“It took four to five hours to complete the virtual reality creation of the Toudou Aquarium area.”

When Qin Zhibo heard this time, he was delighted.

This efficiency is already very fast, so Curacao can recover his memory within today.

But the next second, Hiroki Sawada changed the subject.

"But it can only be done with the help of the game map creation engine installed in Cocoon."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Zhibo frowned, this time it was his turn to not understand. At this time, Dr. Agasa beside him explained: "In order to create the map of the game world, Sindor Company developed a series of technical frameworks, such as real-time 3D engine, ray tracing technology..."

“Only by using these technical frameworks can developers develop at a very high efficiency.”

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he thought, isn’t this the Unreal Engine?
However, the game creation engine of this era is a technology exclusive to Sindorah Corporation, which was developed specifically for the development of "Cocoon".

“I see. With the technical framework, this can be done in an afternoon, right?”

"Theoretically yes."

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided that the only way now was to go to the Suzuki Building to see if the Suzuki Group had these technical frameworks.

"I'll call Suzuki Sonoko right now..."

After a while, Qin Zhibo got permission from Suzuki Sonoko.

However, the only problem is that due to an accident in the laboratory when Qin Zhibo came over to play games last time, all research on "Cocoon" has been stopped by Suzuki's senior management.

"So, Uncle Qin, if you come to play, there are no supporting technicians..."

Suzuki Sonoko thought Qin Zhibo was here to satisfy his gaming addiction again.

But Qin Zhibo smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, we can provide our own technical personnel."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo looked at Dr. Agasa.

"Dr. Agasa, please make the trip..."

"I?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment, but quickly accepted his fate.

"Ok."

Just then, a faint voice came from behind them.

"Where are you going?"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw Huibara Ai wearing a tank top and shorts, standing at the door with her arms folded.

Dr. Agasa's smile was a little stiff. "Ai-chan, you're back?"

"Ah."

Huihara Ai nodded.

She had just gone to Chengshi Hospital, so she didn't meet Qin Zhibo and others.

After I came back, I saw the three little ones coming. I heard that Qin Zhibo and Conan went to the basement and wanted to play "Cocoon" again, so I came over to check out the situation.

"So where are you going?"

"Go..." Dr. Agasa didn't know how to explain, because he was not very clear about the specific situation.

At this time, Conan slowly stepped forward and asked, "We now have a plan to restore the memory of the woman in that organization."

"But I need your help..."

Hearing this, Huibara Ai's mood sank.

Ever since she knew that the woman was also a member of the organization, she did not support letting the woman recover her memory.

Because doing so is too dangerous. Once the other party recovers his memory, he may kill everyone he has come into contact with during this period, even children.

That's the style of the organization.

"no……"

Huibara Ai shook her head slightly, and there was even a hint of pitiful pleading in her eyes.

"please……"

Faced with the weak voice of Haibara Ai, Conan's eyes were slightly stunned and somewhat moved.

But then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes firm as he said: "Habara, don't try to escape your fate."

"Although the road ahead is full of thorns, I don't want to escape my fate..."

Conan's words, in turn, moved Haibara Ai a little.

Conan continued earnestly, "And haven't you noticed that when you choose to fight against fate, you meet more and more like-minded partners, right?"

"Think back, if you hadn't chosen to fight against fate, would you still be able to meet us today?"

Conan's words were like a thunder, exploding in Haibara Ai's mind.

Once upon a time, she felt hopeless about life after learning of her sister's death, so she gave up everything and fought the organization to the end.

When she was locked in a secret room waiting to die, it was a pill of APTX-4869 in her pocket that gave her a glimmer of hope.

yes……

If death was my fate, why did I choose to take that pill?

Is it to commit suicide?
No.

Haibara Ai still remembers that when she took out the pill from her pocket, the first thing that came to her mind was not the tragic scene of most of the mice in the laboratory dying after taking the pill.

But it was the only surviving white mouse in the mouse box.

I thought there might still be a glimmer of hope after taking the medicine, so I chose to take the capsule.

The silent atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds, and Huibara Ai's eyes finally revealed a hint of relief.

"What you said makes sense..."

"If I hadn't been the only surviving mouse in the laboratory, I wouldn't have taken the capsule."

"Perhaps from that moment on, I have been fighting against my own destiny."

Conan looked at Haibara Ai who was gradually coming to terms with her feelings and smiled knowingly.

"So you agree to help?"

"Of course you can, but you have to ensure my safety. I don't want to waste the life I have managed to survive..."

Haibara Ai returned to her usual tsundere tone of voice, which made Conan quite helpless.

"well……"

"It's enough to say a good word once."

"..."

Looking at the scene of two boys and girls of similar real age bickering, Dr. Agasa smiled with relief.

Only Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, was somewhat skeptical about what Huibara Ai had just said.

Haibara Ai said that she chose to take drug A because there was a little white mouse still alive in the laboratory.

The meaning of this should be that among the mice used in the experiment on Drug A, one was still alive after taking the drug, which means that the mortality rate of Drug A is not 100%, and it can even shrink the body.

However, Qin Zhibo, who returned from London, learned that Conan and Haibara Ai, who had taken drug A and had their bodies shrunk, actually had the same bloodline.

That is the boss of the organization, Karasuma Renya.

Conan's bloodline comes from the Kuroba family, which was established by Karasuma Renya after he came to Japan.

Haibara Ai's bloodline comes from Karasuma Ren'ya's biological mother when she was in England, that is, the Sera family.

If the main reason why Drug A can shrink people is because of the same bloodline as Karasuma Renya, then what is the principle behind Drug A allowing mice to survive and shrink?
Does the mouse also have Karasuma Renya's bloodline?
This doesn't seem possible...

But how do we explain the experiments that Haibara Ai conducted herself?

Why did the only surviving mouse in the laboratory survive?

Is it the effect of the medicine?
Or... someone's will?

"Qin, can we go to the Suzuki Building now?"

Just then, Conan interrupted Qin Zhibo's thoughts.

“…Oh, yeah.”

Qin Zhibo suddenly came to his senses and nodded.

Conan noticed that something was wrong with Qin Zhibo's expression, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

Qin Zhibo looked down at Conan's serious face, feeling a little heavy.

"Do not……"

"There's nothing to prepare."
