Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Qian Jingge recalled the memories of this body. In the memory, the dream of this body seemed to be to work and save money. After saving enough money, it would lie forever in a small room like a morgue.

Being able to pursue such a thing for a lifetime was terrifying enough in itself. After all, the faces of these people looked terrifying enough.

The scene that Qian Jingge saw is probably something that ordinary people will never see, because he was able to witness it only after he applied for a job.

  Influenced by the strong obsession of this body when it was alive, when he chose a job, he deliberately chose to find this real body trusteeship to do the care work of these bodies, wanting to see what it was like to become the human body trusteeship business that the original owner of this body pursued all his life?

The so-called real body hosting is literal. Since the virtual reality technology in this world can almost completely simulate human senses, why not live in the virtual world forever?

In the virtual world, people can become almost omnipotent, and can taste food that they cannot afford in reality as many times as they want. They will not feel full, and the opposite sex that they can never pursue can be played by AI in the virtual world, without them being able to act arbitrarily. They also have a social status that they cannot experience in reality, and can become the king of kings under the support of countless AIs.

If you can immerse yourself in the virtual world forever without having to worry about anything in the real world, countless people would be willing to try it.

Moreover, this technology not only has a material basis, but also an economic basis. After asking about the daily price of hosting a body, he did some calculations in his heart. Although the living expenses of homeless people are quite low, if you want to maintain a life like Sanhe God for a long time, you still need to take some responsibility for your own health. You must go to work every few days, or find some channels to make money. To maintain your body's nutritional supply, find a relatively stable place to sleep regularly, and replenish your physical strength.

The total consumption of these various items is at least three times the daily consumption of hosting your body here, after all, hosting your body here only requires consuming some cheap nutrient solution and a small amount of electricity, and these things are almost worthless in the hands of people with channels, so they can naturally offer a very low price.

Therefore, in theory, as long as you save enough money, a down payment similar to that for a house, you can apply for a loan to buy yourself a set of real body hosting services and immerse yourself in the virtual world forever. In the future, as long as you can work in the virtual world and pay off the loan, you can enjoy bliss in the virtual world for the rest of your life.

These are all publicized and are all beautiful, but some things will never be seen by outsiders, such as the scenes seen by the caregivers after signing the confidentiality agreement.

Inside the cabinets that seemed to have stopped time, there were skinny human bodies emitting a strong stench. Their muscles had atrophied due to long periods of inactivity, and their skin was tightly attached to their bones, making them like dried mummies.

No one has touched their bodies for a long time, and acne has grown on the places on their backs that have been in contact with the cabinets for a long time, and they have begun to feel guilty.

Qian Jingge's daily task is to open a cabinet and clean out the rotten tissue or leaked excrement inside. The cleaning method is also very simple. Use a water gun filled with disinfectant to flush. The rotten flesh and leaked excrement will flow out from the drain together. As for the pain of the rotten flesh being washed down, it will be directly paralyzed by drugs to ensure that people immersed in the virtual world will not feel this pain.

  Ordinary people outside see the bright and beautiful side of people immersed in the virtual world. They only need to work six or seven hours a day, no commuting time, no need to sleep, no need to worry about food and drink, and the rest of the time can be used for games. How many times happier are they than those who still have to maintain their real bodies?

But you will never see that the real bodies of these people have already decayed, and the sores on their bodies will make people feel physically uncomfortable just by looking at them.

This may also be the reason why Qian Jingge found this job, which pays two or three times more than most jobs on the market.

According to his knowledge of physiology, if the human body is stored in such a crude way, even if it is disinfected regularly every day, the lifespan will hardly exceed thirty years. In fact, most people may die suddenly within a dozen years. If they are unlucky, they may die within a few months.

According to the data provided by these companies, after paying the down payment, it will take at least 30 years for them to pay off their loans. If their physical bodies cannot be maintained before the loans are paid off, they will have no choice but to remove their brains. However, since the loans have not been paid off, their brains will be taken away by the companies as collateral. As for what will happen after that? Even Qian Jingge does not know.

What these body hosting companies claim is that one can live a happy and fulfilling life in the virtual world, but this is nothing but a scam that can never be achieved.

However, there are still countless people who fall into this scam, because their fate in old age is not much better. It is not that physical strength will be a problem when they are old, but mental strength will decline. In this era, most of the labor that can make money is actually mental labor. Even the roadside stalls are about to be snatched away by intelligent robots. Those who cannot contribute enough mental labor to the outside world will eventually have to choose loans, and the final outcome is likely to be the removal of the brain as collateral.

All of this has formed a complete industrial chain, which is inevitable for living in this world, just like almost everyone in this world must wear AR glasses when going out, because this thing, like a mobile phone, has become an indispensable mobile terminal in this era.

Unlike virtual reality technology, this is another kind of augmented reality technology, and people living in reality cannot escape it either.

When you put on these glasses, you will see screens of different colors in front of you.

Facts have proved that with different technology development paths, the future world will also be different. This world has not developed the strange technology tree with display screens everywhere in the original Three-Body. Instead, it uses head-mounted display devices to project a virtual display screen into every space around. The emergence of this technology and its control by capital means that the ads filled in the glasses cannot be avoided at all. Big data will directly collect what you have seen, collect your eyes, what you have seen, what you said when you talked to others, and then push ads to you in a targeted manner.

If you want to remove these advertisements, you need to pay extra fees to become a member. If you want to enable various functions, you also need to pay extra fees. And this fee cannot be avoided. After all, both hardware and software equipment have been monopolized. Pirated equipment will be scrapped by an electromagnetic pulse and will have no market at all.

Every day of his life in the Lower City, Qian Jingge witnessed the lower limit of human beings. He witnessed the diversity of human species. At the same time, he was also troubled by how to change the world in front of him. Even if he could recruit 5 conscripts who were not afraid of death and had a production base that was far behind the times, it seemed that he could not achieve the best results. He could only rely on some special technologies in his memory to barely gain a foothold in this world dominated by financial tycoons, and then marry a big family to mix into the upper circle of this world. However, he could only be regarded as a kid who barely squeezed in, and could not squeeze into the real ruling circle of this world.

There is no possibility of rebellion at this stage. Although what we have seen so far are all civilian technologies, a glimpse of the whole picture shows that such advanced electronic technology must correspond to extremely advanced military technology. Even under the premise that the battlefield environment is not so complicated, artificial intelligence can already replace humans to a considerable extent and go to the battlefield to control war weapons to fight.

Without a class to unite with, Qian Jingge really couldn't figure out how to change the world.

Until one day, he saw that one of the bodies he was caring for was suffering from acute renal failure and had to undergo a brain transplant immediately. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

"Tracing the source, can I summon the conscripts in advance before the base arrives?"

“In theory, it is possible, but the conscripts must meet certain requirements. For example, the body you are descending into must be about to die of natural causes, which meets the requirements for the conscripts to descend.

The same is true for ordinary people. Only individuals who are about to die and have little influence in the society can be directly recruited by you. "

"Then can I recruit this brain to be my conscripted soldier?"

"In theory, it is possible, but I will not fully repair this brain. What you will get is a conscript with only one brain. Do you want to confirm the conscription? Once confirmed, this template will be used as the default conscription for subsequent cases."

"One last question, can I give orders directly to my conscripts through you?"

"Yes, but there is a limit on the number. With your current rank, you can issue orders to conscripts 500 times a day without any distance restrictions. The content of each order cannot exceed 50,000 bytes. This is limited by the thinking ability of conscripts. They cannot understand or accept more complex orders."

Qian Jingge nodded: "I understand. Let's start the summoning. Theoretically, this brain is already dying and is also in a state of social death in this society. It should meet the requirements, right?"

People tend not to pay as much attention to virtual characters in games and netizens they met online as they do in real life. In reality, the disappearance of a living person is a big case, but losing an account on the Internet is commonplace. Because of this, people often fail to notice that most of these people who host their real-world bodies do not live beyond fifteen years, and their disappearance is silent and no one will notice.

"Confirm to start the conscription. The conscripts will retain their original memories and personalities, which is equivalent to signing a contract with the Spacetime Officer. In exchange for absolute obedience during a mission, they will continue their lives. After the mission is over, all memories of the Spacetime Officer will be erased. Please make good use of your conscripts."

After completing the conscription of the soldiers, Qian Jingge felt that an inexplicable connection had been established between himself and that brain, and he now had the authority to directly issue orders on his system interface.

……

Shi Qianyue looked at the large number of confidentiality regulations on the light screen that appeared in front of him and fell into a long silence. He had no choice. If he did not obey the confidentiality regulations, his brain would be sent as collateral and he would die completely socially.

Among the many people who have entrusted their bodies, she is considered to be relatively lucky. He has lived in the virtual world for twenty years. Although he feels that his energy is insufficient in the later period and he can't immerse himself in the game all day long like when he first entered the virtual world, he still lives a relatively free life. He really didn't expect that when he was about to pay off his loan, he would face such a blow. The acute renal failure of his body in the real world made it impossible for him to continue to maintain his body, and his brain, which was used as collateral, would be taken away by the company. He himself didn't know what would happen to his brain. Would it be put on the table of rich people, or used for some terrible human experiments?

Faced with an unpredictable future, all he can do is try his best. This unknown tracing space that is beyond his understanding has given him this opportunity, so it is worth a try. At worst, this space can still wipe him out when he is desperate. After experiencing so many virtual worlds, he can actually vaguely guess some of his possible destinations, and many of these destinations are worse than death.

When he chose to sign the contract, keep all information about the space-time officer confidential, and promise to obey orders, he received his first mission from a colonel of the space-time officer, reporting his experience through special channels every day. This intelligence-gathering mission made him feel cold, and the space-time officer didn't know what he was going to experience, which meant that he was in great danger, but he still accepted the mission reluctantly.

After his brain was placed in a special life-support container and was transported for about a day, Shi Qianyue, who had almost gone crazy in an environment with almost no perception of the outside world, finally saw his familiar virtual world again. The situation he faced was not beyond his expectations.
