It sounds ridiculous.

However, in essence, Xu Yan's approach was actually the most efficient emotionally.

This is like if two people are destined to separate, it is better to have a big fight before separating, so that when they really turn their faces, they just lost an enemy, and there is no ties to each other.

But if you can still talk to each other until the breakup, then the breakup will undoubtedly be a huge torture.

Wu Xiaoqing is now in this kind of torture.

This feeling is very strange, but one thing is for sure, it is absolutely impossible to experience this feeling on earth—even if you are a twin, you cannot be sure that the other party has exactly the same thinking and experience as you. Similar thought patterns.

This feeling, as if my soul jumped out of the body, existing in another place, beckoning to myself.

Just like the current Wu Xiaoqing, although he is in the park of the earth, he is always subconsciously thinking about those copies of himself from another world, what are they doing, thinking, doing, and experiencing?

If the search and rescue team hadn't made them come back, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen almost didn't want to come back now. Even if they returned physically, they still seemed to have lost their souls.

……

After Wu Qing looked at the other party, only two seconds later, the other party suddenly said: "I am a clone, right?"

Wu Qing shook his head, but quickly nodded again: "Me too."

The other party shook his head in the same way: "It's different...look around me." After speaking, he started to back away.

In the video, the place where the other party stays is exactly the same as the place where Wu Qing is staying now. It is a primitive space that has not undergone transformation.But once the camera is mainly pulled away, the difference is easy to see-there are many people there.

He was the only one in Wu Qing's square, but the square in the video was already bustling with people.

Wu Qing soon discovered that the angle of view of the video was controlled by himself, and he subconsciously moved his angle of view closer to several other people nearby. Soon, he saw several faces of the Federation people that were exactly the same as himself. And the almost identical expressions on these faces.

It was a strong shock at the beginning. These "Wu Xiaoqings" observed and judged each other with their eyes, and they almost quickly came to the conclusion that they were replicas.

Then communication began to appear soon, and some clones who were relatively close to each other began to talk. At this time, strange phenomena appeared.

After everyone said the first two sentences, they saw a very unnatural response in each other's eyes.

Because everyone has almost the same thoughts at this moment, what they want to say, even the tone of speech when speaking, and the mood when speaking are all exactly the same.

This gave rise to a strange phenomenon. At first everyone tried to communicate in words, but soon Wu Xiaoqing and the others discovered that they only needed to look at each other with their eyes to fully understand what the other party wanted to express.

Next, for two full days, there were more and more replicas on the square, and at the same time, obvious environmental changes began to appear in the entire square world.

The original level ground has now become the surface of a huge planet. The sun above the head begins to revolve in the sky, and bumps and gullies begin to appear on the flat ground. At the same time, the "Wu Xiaoqings" are avoiding the ongoing environmental transformation , while taking the time to communicate.

Wu Qing soon discovered that these replicas quickly formed a small society.

At the beginning, they probably formed a small group of twelve to fifteen people, because this number can basically ensure that everyone takes turns to speak and express their opinions, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about waiting too long.

After the surface of the planet was almost remodeled, the most basic social order appeared in Wu Xiaoqing's purely single-person society.

They numbered all of them, not in the order in which the duplications appeared—the order was impossible to count.It's just based on the order in which everyone joined the organization.

Yes, it's just that in just one day and a little more time, all the "Wu Xiaoqings" have already begun to establish the most basic organization.

They call this organization "Wu Guo", which is a rather ridiculous way of saying it.Inside the country of Wu, they assigned specific numbers to everyone in order, and inside, they called each other by each other's numbers.

When the total number of clones had exceeded 20, the number of people in the Wu Kingdom had also expanded to [-].

At this time, Wu Qing can only understand this new organization through data, because his eyes can't see more and more individuals at all.

The enthusiasm of the "Wu Xiaoqing" people began to speak up—after more than 20 hours, the synchronization of thinking between the replicas began to be disrupted, and differences between people began to appear.

Everyone's emotions began to fluctuate gradually. Some people became more and more excited as they chatted, while others began to feel depressed and restless. On average, among more than 200 replicas, there would be one person who had a mental breakdown.

The world is getting bigger and bigger, but Wu Xiaoqings are getting closer and closer, and many subsequent replicas are randomly distributed in this virtual world, but after they appeared, the first thing they did was , It is to light a torch in various parts of this square world to guide the follow-up replicators to gather together to where everyone is.

There are trees in the virtual world, and they can be felled and interacted with, probably because it is too boring to stay, some "Wu Xiaoqing" have already started to try labor, they carved the wood into simple wooden signs, and sent everyone One was placed on his chest, and his number was written on the sign.

A person numbered 3305 became the earliest clerk in this basic organization-he was responsible for coordinating and calculating the latest number.

On the second day, they even opened up a large open space in the forest of the virtual world, and then used a very crude log cabin on it as the secretary's office.They used tree bark to make paper and carbon to make pens. Some "Wu Xiaoqing" started to draw backgammon on the ground to entertain each other, and some even started to draw cartoons.

Wu Qing never realized that she still needs these hobbies.

I don't know if it was because of entertainment, or because of something else, but when it was close to 30 hours, the first case of a fighting dispute occurred within Wu.

It was not two people who participated in the fight, but more than a dozen. No one around knew the reason, and after the fight broke out, no one tried to persuade them. Everyone just watched silently, and then silently went about their own business.

After the dozen or so fighters were over, they gathered together and laughed—several of them even laughed and started crying.

This brought back some of Wu Qing's remaining memories of Wu Xiaoqing on Earth. In a sense, these fighting behaviors are just a kind of enhanced memory-they seem to want to get emotional with the original Wu Xiaoqing in this way. sympathy and connection.

But it didn't work.

In Wu Qing's memory, there are only emotional memories of the fight at that time, and he can't remember the details clearly.

For Wu Xiaoqing, these experiences should have been engraved in Xu Yan's mind like Xu Yan's bank card, but now...a group of Wu Xiaoqing fought each other for a long time, but finally stopped helplessly.

At the end of the second day, the total population of the entire virtual planet has exceeded 300 million, and the speed of Wu Xiaoqing's appearance is still increasing, increasing rapidly.

A large number of buildings and urban facilities began to appear, and Wu Xiaoqings began to be further separated by space. During the whole process, the number of Wu officials also began to increase rapidly, and most of them were appointed and dismissed temporarily. The strangest thing is that these Almost all appointments and dismissals have been unanimously agreed by others.

Who is suitable for what to do? In the internal environment of Wu State, there is no need to even say a word, as long as the clerk raises his hand when he solicits everyone's opinions.

Changbai visited Wu Qing twice during this process. Of course, he also watched the live broadcast of these Wu Xiaoqings. When he saw that in a room, some Wu Xiaoqings had already started to pick up books, trying to deduce mathematical formulas on the blackboard. When I was there, I was surprised and sighed: "Your atmosphere here is the best."

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Compare with whom?"

"Who else is there, your other two companions."

Only then did Wu Qing realize the strangeness. For more than two days, he didn't even remember what Shen Wen and Xu Yan were doing now.

He saw it soon.

Shen Wen was fine, probably because of his age, the atmosphere shown by "Shen Changwen" was generally more negative than Wu Xiaoqing's.They did not form a small group of more than a dozen people like Wu Xiaoqing and others, nor did they further integrate on this basis.All the Shen Changwens almost kept a proper distance from each other. They rarely spoke, and even when they did, they spoke softly.More often, they just got together to tell a few jokes, or were in a daze.

The real trouble is Xu Yan's place.

The same square, the same planetary surface, the behavior between Xu Yan and others is already a disaster.

Countless Xu Yans are arguing on camera, and almost everywhere, "Xu Yans" can be seen yelling at each other or even attacking each other.

"They are just to confirm that they are copied in a higher order," Changbai said, "Here...the person who was copied first has a higher qualification to participate in the war."

"Eligible to participate in the war?" Wu Xiaoqing was stunned, "Are they still rushing to go to the battlefield?"

"Yes," Changbai said, "They seem to believe that if they are useless here, they will be executed, so everyone is fighting desperately..."

This sounds indeed in line with Xu Yan's behavioral logic.

"But in fact, they don't have much chance. In the socialization assessment made up of the three of you, Xu Yan's score is the lowest. The full score of 100 is only 29 points."

Wu Qing smiled wryly: "Is there still a point to be graded? Does the failure mean that we can be sent back?"

"A closed virtual space like yours consumes very little resources... Regardless of the results of the evaluation, there is no big problem in surviving.

"What about Professor Shen and me?"

"Professor Shen's score is only 47, and he is too old," Changbai said. "A soldier is a profession that requires a complete balance of reason and emotion. The lack of any of these will greatly reduce the combat strength."

"Then... only my clone is more satisfying?"

"you can say it this way."

Wu Qing smiled wryly: "Then they will die monotonously in the future...all of them are themselves..."

If you really go back to the earth, this kind of day can scare people crazy.This is probably only in horror and suspense movies, such a scene will appear.

But in fact, looking back at the virtual world of Wu Qing's replica, it's actually quite fun for these Wu Qings to get along with each other.Wu Qing noticed that at this time, a basic law had already appeared in the country of Wu - it is strictly forbidden for some individual "Wu Xiaoqing" who are in a bad mood to vent their emotions by swearing. Once they are discovered, they will expel "Wu Xiaoqing" who violated this rule out of city limits.

Wu Qing even believes that if these "Wu Xiaoqings" are allowed to continue to be cultivated like this, it won't take long for these "Wu Xiaoqings" to form a group in the entire virtual world, and even become a unique single civilization.

"The specific military training will last for about a month..." When Changbai finally left, he explained to Wu Qing the main purpose of coming this time - to inform him about the outside world, "If there is no accident, after a month, you They will be beaten up with Zhiti...the fate of these people...I'm afraid it won't be very optimistic."
