Chapter 39 Virtual Reality (Part [-])
"I said brother, are you still finished? It's so mysterious. These philosophical issues have not yet been settled. Why should we bother to discuss? What does this have to do with what you want to say?" Obviously Chen Song has become very impatient.

"You're just impatient. There must be a reason for him to ask like this. If you have an idea, just say it, and if you don't, shut up! Is it because I didn't hit you enough just now!" Su Runyao explained to me angrily.

"You may not be a real person!" Just after finishing speaking, Su Runyao waved his arms, and Chen Song seemed to have been prepared, so he dodged all of a sudden, and then kept laughing strangely.

"Okay, Sun Jie, just keep pretending." Chen Song thought for a while, and continued: "I don't know how to represent real existence, all matter can be created, even the current feeling , it is nothing more than the stimulation of the current in the cerebral cortex, our brain is a super quantum computer, and the so-called feeling is nothing more than the specific software running in it." Speaking of this, Chen Song showed a little helplessness, long sighed.

"I can't deny that there is something wrong with what you said, but your thoughts are too negative. Thoughts, bodies, and feelings can't be the meaning of existence, so we live too. You just said that our brains Just like a super quantum computer, what are the properties of quantum? Isn’t it just uncertainty? It is precisely because of this uncertainty that our world is complicated, and it is possible to break through the laws of nature. Let the gene of life have a mutation of one ten thousandth, even one ten thousandth."

Su Runyao finished her thoughts in one breath. It was obvious that Chen Song was also infected by her this time. He scratched his head, looked at Su Runyao and said, "Then you mean that uncertainty is the proof of existence." basis?"

Su Runyao didn't answer, but just thought about it thoughtfully.

I listened carefully to the conversation between the two without interjecting. At this moment, I felt that the conclusion of Chen Song and Su Runyao was the result I expected.

"Okay, the end of the discussion, this is a fruitless discussion, but it is not meaningless. Next, I want to tell you a story, and I hope you don't ask questions until I have finished the story, because all the questions you will I have the answer." I looked at them seriously, and they looked back at me equally seriously, which I think meant that they acquiesced to my request.

For a whole hour, from the moment I appeared in that "womb"-like room until Su Runyao fell into my arms among the flowers of Zhiyi, I poured out every detail to the two of them without reservation. with.

Su Runyao's eyes were filled with tears, while Chen Song's brows were furrowed.

I took a sip of water, stood up and twisted my stiff body, and said to the two of them nonchalantly: "Okay, the first part of the story is over, this part must be a big part, and you both know it, There is only me in another world, which you don’t understand, and of course I only found out recently.” I took a breath and looked at them: “You must have a lot of problems, but as I said before, don’t Ask questions, and the answers are all in the second part." After speaking, I twisted my crotch and kept turning my neck.

The two of them didn't seem to want to get up and move around at all, and their eyes were full of unbelievable doubts.

In the next less than an hour, I told me everything Sun Sijie had said to me, and also recounted the process of how to rescue Su Runyao in the system.

When it was said that our current world is just a virtual metaverse that does not exist at all, the two of them did not show much surprise, but from their micro expressions, I read a little helplessness and powerlessness, I even saw an embarrassing wry smile across Chen Song's face.

But when I described the whole rescue process of Su Runyao, the performance of the two people was very different.Su Runyao looked extremely nervous, holding my hand tightly. I don't know if this tension is for the continuation of my life, or for every exciting move I take.

On the contrary, Chen Song acted very relaxed, I guess because the facts are already in front of his eyes, no matter how incredible the process was, Su Runyao had already appeared in front of us intact, so except for my idiot behavior from time to time He rolled his eyes, showing no expression of nervousness at all.

"Okay, I have explained all the situation to you two completely, without any reservation or concealment, do you have any questions? Or do I need to give you some time to digest the story just now?" I turned around head, looking back and forth between them.

"So, our world doesn't exist at all?" Su Runyao first asked the question. Of course, in my opinion, this is not a problem, but a confirmation. Perhaps in her expectation, all of this There should only be a "story".

So I didn't speak, but looked at her with firm eyes, nodded slowly, and gently comforted her on the back of her hand.

She didn't make a sound anymore, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.I turned to look at Chen Song, wondering what's wrong with him.He looked at me and shook his head slightly from side to side, with the same expression as before, helpless and powerless, and spread his hands.

The three of us sat like this without speaking, and the atmosphere seemed very depressed.

I don’t know how long it took, but I couldn’t help but want to break this atmosphere, which made me very uncomfortable: “The original intention of his system development was to cure diseases and save lives, and to use the virtual world and modern medicine to develop a new system. "Virtual patient" technology, so that before the formal treatment, the whole process of the patient from pathology, treatment, and recovery can be completely simulated. Of course, it also has important practical significance for the development of new drugs and epidemics, and we These are the first trials of this system."

After finishing this paragraph, everyone remained silent. Maybe everyone thought the same as me. We were created by the experiment, and I don’t know whether we should feel happy or sad.

Then, I continued: "Actually, to be honest, the reaction of the two of you is much calmer than when I first heard this fact. When I learned the truth, I almost gave up my desire to live, but you two " I looked at them again: "Yao, Chen Song, one represents love, the other represents friendship, without your existence, I would not have the slightest nostalgia at all."

Su Runyao's eyes were filled with tears. She understood what I was saying, and no one would be able to accept such a cruel "reality".

"Even if it's virtual, do you two want to spread dog food and show affection in front of me like this?"

After speaking, the three of us laughed, Su Runyao took my arm, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.

Su Runyao made tea for us. Chen Song took a pack of creamer from the milk pot and poured it slowly into his cup. The fine and small particles of milk moved irregularly on the surface of the tea.

"Look at these creamers, they are doing Brownian motion, the virtual world can be so detailed, I have to say that your body is really amazing!"

Both Su Runyao and I looked at Chen Song's teacup. It was indeed as he said, the creamer was constantly moving on the tea surface without any external force.I have never thought about and never tested the capabilities of the system, but judging from the current situation, the system's delicacy and actual restoration level are much higher than I expected.

"Where is the boundary between virtual and reality?" Su Runyao said silently.

"There is no boundary, or it is impossible to distinguish such a boundary. Is the world that our body lives in real? No one can prove it, can it?" Chen Song obviously thinks more about this point than the two of us thorough.

"Are you going to say 'brain in a vat' again?" Su Runyao joked to Chen Song.

Chen Song didn't pay attention to Su Runyao, but thought for a while and said, "Have you ever considered such a question?"

Both Su Runyao and I opened our eyes wide, waiting for Chen Song to say something amazing, but unexpectedly he asked us a question that puzzled us: "If I don't give you rice, can you cook?"

It seems that our reaction was as he expected, so he continued with his own question: "If I say that I create a universe, then the world I built that is realistic enough must be based on all the natural sciences I have mastered. But for substances or phenomena that I can’t understand or science can’t explain, how can I create them? I don’t even have rice, how can I cook a pot of rice?”

Su Runyao and I seemed to understand what he said, but we didn't seem to understand what he was trying to express.Chen Song looked at our expressions, thought for a while and then started his explanation.

"Let me give a simple example. If we are in a real world, you can understand it as another parallel universe. In this world, Einstein does not appear on our time axis, which leads to narrow and broad senses. The theory of relativity has never been proposed.

Because the general theory of relativity does not yet exist, there is no way to explain the time deviation of satellites in low-Earth orbit. Although we have found that there is a small time deviation based on actual experience, but because there is no theoretical basis, we can only continue to to correct such errors.

Similarly, the metaverse created by us under this parallel universe cannot have a theoretical basis for the theory of relativity, so it can only be repaired. Due to the lack of theoretical calculations, this kind of repair will inevitably have certain jumps. This kind of inexplicable jump and system correction, in my opinion, may be "

"It proves whether this world is real. Do you want to say this?" I followed his words.

He didn't answer me, he seemed to have entered his own thinking world, and he was still talking endlessly: "Yes, but not all, in addition to this kind of theoretical correction, it is also possible for the situation that has a major impact on the normal operation of the system. Abnormal corrections that occur. Take you as an example. The sudden disappearance of your memory and the deletion of all information about Su Runyao after her accident are system corrections, and the existence of these corrections is the best proof of the unreal world .

Of course, none of this would have been noticed had it not been for your anomalous 'awakening', and we would not consider it virtual.

In addition, the so-called system-level corrections I am talking about are all extreme cases, which we can tell at a glance.But I believe that the operating rules of the real virtual world must not be so simple and crude, and its correction methods should be more concealed and more in line with realistic logic.
