Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 935 [Lucid dream 2.0]

"It's a piece of software."

Lindsay Robert Darwin's tone of voice has undergone certain changes, and these changes of tone were captured by the general-purpose crane camel's sensor and quickly matched with the database, and the general meaning was translated within a few milliseconds ——"I don't really want to talk about this matter, but I really want to make friends with you. After struggling a lot, I finally decided to tell you."

How can there be such a thing in the database of military brain robots... Is it out of the need to communicate with the enemy?still?

Chen Yan didn't have time to think that much, because Lindsay's next words completely attracted his attention.

"The software is called [Lucid Dreams], which is the research result of one of my teachers. It can capture the radio waves of the consciousness at a deeper level than the subconscious mind, and form a dream world that can be customized."

Chen Yan couldn't help interrupting:

"Is that teacher of yours a professor at the Imperial Capital National University? He studies brain wave technology? (Chapter 895)"

The voice on the other side of the phone clearly represented "doubt":
"Huh? You know Professor Wright."

Chen Yan said:

"No, just heard about it."

It turned out that Professor Lawyer, who claimed to be a "Xunkuang element", had a colleague who taught lucid dreaming, and his name was "Wright".

At the beginning (Chapter 895), Chen Yan used the bronze sword left by Chen Baishu to activate the [Xunkuang Element] in the brain of a general-purpose vulture in the military base of the STR-23 space station, and contacted I met Lloyd I. Damocles Knightford, a professor of the thirteenth class at Imperial State University, and learned from him that he had "a colleague who studied lucid dreaming."

Chen Yan had heard of the miraculous "skill" of "lucid dreaming" from Miao Shuisheng, so when Professor Laoyer mentioned it again, Chen Yan's impression was deepened.

Professor Laoyer, who claims to be one of the "Xun Kuang elements", clearly stated that he met Chen Baishu through "lucid dreaming" and had an in-depth exchange of ideas-Chen Yan also remembers this exposition clearly.

"Well... After Professor Wright wrote the [Lucid Dreams] software, he felt that although it was useful, it was a kind of 'exotic skills', so he just played with it as a toy for a while and then threw it aside.

I picked up the [Lucid Dreams] software, optimized the words of the software, fixed some bugs, added the radio interface of the commonly used brain-computer BIOS, and repackaged it.

You can think of the current software as [Lucid Dreaming Version 2.0].

The difference between the 2.0 version I rewritten and Professor Wright's first version is that the 2.0 version can not only receive the brain waves of normal humans, but also receive the analog signal of the brain robot, and create a dream that can accommodate multiple consciousnesses running at the same time sequence world. "

With so many professional words, Chen Yan almost didn't understand.

He pondered:
"You mean, I enter the LAN game room built by [Lucid Dream 2.0] with the counterfeit, let us have a duel in the room?"

Lindsay replied:

"Basically, I can only give advice."

Lindsay is trying to make those abstract concepts concrete with words that Chen Yan can understand:
"I suggest you use [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] to build a room and do something in the room that you want to do to him in reality.

In this room, you are not in charge, because a lucid dream is just a lucid dream, and the software can only create and customize a dream, but cannot make you a god in the dream.

The only thing you can do is to do to him in your dreams what you want to do in reality.

The advantage is that doing those dangerous things in the simulated dream, even if you fail, will not cause you some serious problems-such as being killed by that alien. "

Chen Yan shivered:
"What's the downside?"

He had roughly thought of the disadvantages.

Lindsay said:

"The downside is that you're going to have other serious problems.

What goes into lucid dreaming is real consciousness—yours and the impostor's real consciousness, which means that whatever happens to real consciousness will have permanent, irreversible effects.

If your true consciousness decides the outcome in a particular scenario—you judge him to be fake, or he judges himself to be real, whatever the outcome, it will be a real consequence.

In other words, once he wins - once he is sure that he is real, his consciousness may be completely compatible with the physical body that originally belonged to you - you may lose your body forever! "

Lindsay reiterated:
"The only advantage, Mr. Chen, is that in [Lucid Dreaming 2.0], you won't be instantly killed by aliens."

Chen Yan said:

"Similarly, aliens will not be killed.

Not only will the aliens not be killed, but my other companions will not be threatened with their lives.

Everything became a duel between the two of us. "

Lindsay confirmed:
"Yes."

Chen Yan said in a positive tone:

"That's very well, Mr Darwin, and it's almost as good as it gets.

Please be sure to license the software to me. "

Lindsay's tone changed again, and Chen Yan found out that he was very emotional, and he was not as rigid as Chen Yan had imagined:
"I'll send the software package along with the instructions to Little Wolf... Anyway, please be careful."

Chen Yan replied:
"After I succeed, we must meet each other."

Lindsay was noncommittal about this, only saying:
"Good luck, Mr. Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Little Wolfe had already received an email from Lindsay in his mailbox. He transmitted the software and instructions in the email to Chen Yan's general-purpose crane and camel body through his wireless device. past.

Chen Yan received the software, operated it in the pop-up window that only he could see, and installed it into the brain-computer system.

The 6nm chip quickly finished reading the instruction manual, and Chen Yan roughly understood the function of [Lucid Dreaming 2.0], and quickly began to think:
'[Lucid Dreaming 2.0] can create completely edited false dreams, and can also create dreams based on the real world.

According to Lindsay's software instructions, the closer the dream simulated by [Lucid Dream 2.0] is to reality, the more variables need to be added, the larger the brain-machine memory is occupied, and the more computing power needs to be invested.

Hmm... It seems that there is no big difference from the simulator I made at the beginning.

Professor Wright who made this software is also a great guy...

When I first made the simulator, I had a reference blueprint, and I have seen many similar simulator programs before time travel, so it is not difficult for me to create such a thing.

But it’s different for the natives of this world—Professor Wright’s completion of software such as lucid dreaming is essentially completing the process of creating new things [from 0 to 1], which is much more difficult than what I did at the beginning. '

Chen Yan also found that due to the unique software architecture and exquisite programming language, there is no upper limit to the [realism] that [Lucid Dreams 2.0] can create——

Theoretically speaking, as long as the hardware has enough running memory to support the running of the software, as long as the processor has enough computing power to perform variable calculations, the dreams created by [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] can infinitely approach the real world.

'It's amazing...'

In Chen Yan's plan, the environment he wants must be more realistic and better.

Inspired by [Lucid Dreaming 2.0], some unformed messy thoughts began to be pieced together in Chen Yan's mind.

He gradually had a complete plan, and began to gradually smooth out the order of the plan through the 6nm chip.

He quickly came to a conclusion in such thinking:
In order to use the most realistic variables to simulate the dream he used as a weapon, it is necessary to complete the simulated variable data of all the people in his environment.

Some functions in the general-purpose Crane Camel database can simulate the variable data of most people around him based on Chen Yan's memory, but the variable data of Ned Roddie and Cossie Ranford Clapeter are very inaccurate. Chen Yan must Make their variable data accurate.

Therefore, he regarded himself as a "strange brain-computer person who wants to learn", and made two calls to the two respectively.

In the top-level speech skills blessed by the general-purpose crane and camel function, Chen Yan understood the exact values ​​of the two on the phone, and gained a deep understanding of the two's vision for the future.

He chatted with them for a long time, and all the data variables related to the two were constantly adjusted and calibrated during the conversation. The function deduces and calculates all the characteristics of the two people enough and complete enough to be put into use for lucid dream simulation.

After saying goodbye, Chen Yan hung up the phone, thought and thought, and there was one last thing to do:
His brain-robot body was sneaked out, using a technology similar to "disconnection activation", and it has never been connected to the Imperial Internet.

Once connected to the Internet, the brain-computer of the general-purpose crane and camel will send feedback information to the imperial military, and the military will know that Chen Yan has stolen the military-use brain-computer—this is a bad situation that Chen Yan cannot accept at all .

Then here comes the problem—if he wants to use the [Lucid Dream 2.0] software to simulate a dream world that is realistic enough and infinitely close to reality, he needs not only the simulated variable data of his acquaintances, but also a large amount of variable and constant data from the real world itself ——These data are the cornerstone of the entire lucid dream dream world——If these data are rich enough, information must be obtained from the Internet.

'I have to find a way so that the general-purpose crane will not send activation information to the military server after it is connected to the Internet-the feedback program pointing to the military must be completely deleted. '

He knew almost nothing about programming, so he had to find someone who was proficient in programming to help him.

There are many such people around Chen Yan, but the first thing Chen Yan thinks of is Hope.

He left the cabin, came to the deck, stood on the edge of the deck and looked down, and sure enough, he saw a familiar dark red figure sitting on a high pile at the pier below the boat, looking dully at the direction of the sea, posing in boredom leg.

She followed, but she didn't get on the boat, she just waited under the boat, Chen Yan didn't call her, he thought he needed to give her time.

The two knew each other's identity well.

"Hope."

The woman was startled by the sudden call, and when she looked up, she saw an ugly lump of iron looking at her from the deck.

Chen Yan said to her:
"I want to ask you a favor, can I invite you aboard?"

The woman hesitated visibly, but finally nodded.

She quickly followed Chen Yan to the central control room of the ship building.

After Chen Yan told her request, she said it was not difficult.

"I have a question."

Before taking out his notebook to operate, Hope asked him:
"Why do you trust me? Are you not afraid that I will open the back door in your brain?"

Chen Yan thought for a while and said:

"I thought about it, you probably won't."

Hope said angrily and viciously:

"You will be killed sooner or later!"

She was obviously not good at hiding her heart, so her vicious tone sounded like an ordinary temper tantrum.

She said that the notebook has communicated with Chen Yan's brain computer according to the parameters Lindsay said before (Chapter 917).

While typing the code, she said in an unconcealable nervous tone:
"You... Are you doing this transformation to make a break with him?"

Chen Yan said:

"Your synaesthesia is very strong, did you have it at birth?"

Hope said angrily:
"What do you care about this! You care..."

She didn't finish her sentence, she gritted her teeth:

"It's done, you can connect to the Internet... Your wireless module's power is too high, use it carefully, don't connect to any frequency bands casually, you will be discovered by someone with a heart... Many frequency bands in the mechanical honeycomb are regulated, which is very dangerous. will be watched."

Chen Yan nodded and said:
"When I come back, let's have a good chat."

Under Hope's slightly nervous gaze, Chen Yan closed his eyes.

The functions related to the search ability in the general-purpose crane camel database began to run, and finally locked on [Chen Yan] through the layer-by-layer screening of the island chain Internet.

'I saw you. '

……

……

At this moment.

Days Island, Mechanical Hive, [Z] Group.

In a few moments just now, the office was cleaned up, and the new computer layout was completed.

[Chen Yan] Sitting in front of the computer, he called up yesterday's service records of the omnic prosthetic implant company as usual, preparing for review.

Suddenly, an abnormal electric current broke out on the mouse.

At the moment of electric shock, Chen Yan's eyes were completely dark, and his consciousness was suddenly disconnected.

……

When [Chen Yan] woke up, he could only see the endless blue sky in front of him.

He turned his head blankly, looked at his companions, and a thought came to his mind:
'I... I have come to Days Island! '

A voice came from beside me:
"Ayan, news came from Headmaster Ned Roddy that the night school's enrollment has been quite successful, and we have the first batch of students!"

[Chen Yan] Looking at the strange man in front of him in confusion, he asked in a daze:
"Who are you……"

Chen Yan, who was wearing a gray-blue worker's winter coat and had the complete appearance of Jack Baldo, smiled at him:
"Didn't wake up! I'm Jack Baldo!"
