Chapter 94 Virtual Reality
"That's right, what does a bartender need such high intelligence?"

Chi Heng aimed his gaze at the drinks in the cabinet behind the bar.

He looked around, got up and turned into the bar, randomly took out a bottle of wine with his hands, he didn't look at the ingredients or the production company, he only looked at the production time - December 2078, 12.

"Is the time in the parallel world 2078?"

"No, it's been almost 20 years since the old uncle explored here, and the old uncle didn't say when the people in the research base disappeared. It may be ten years or decades."

Chi Heng put the wine bottle back. In fact, there is a way to find out the specific year, that is, to test the intact wine in the bottle, and you can know the year with little error.

But Chi Heng is not very interested in knowing the exact year of the parallel world, and it is enough to know a rough one.

"Sir, would you like a drink?"

"Battered copper and rotten iron" couldn't help asking when Chi Heng took out the wine bottle and put it back.

"No, I don't usually drink."

Chi Heng turned back, "Go, let's go to other places."

The movie theater is different from the bar, it is more magical. He thought the movie theater is the kind of movie theater where the hall is full of chairs, and hundreds of people sit in the hall to watch the screen collectively. As a result, the movie theater here is not of this type, but a separate one. The flat-bed cabin can be rotated 360 degrees. After entering, people lie in it, put on a helmet, and enjoy the visual effect right in front of them.

Chi Heng went in and tried it, but he was really confused. He didn't understand the plot of the movie, he just felt that his perspective was suspended behind the protagonist, as if a transparent third party was on the scene. What's even more outrageous was that he You can move the viewing angle at will. For example, the protagonist is still investigating the case in the house, but he can leave the house and go outside to freely move the viewing angle to observe other things.

This is not so much a movie as it is more like an alternative visual game.

Sure enough, he quickly found other types of movies.

These movies are not divided according to romance films and action films, but according to non-interferable plots and interferable plots.

That is to say, the former is just like the movie Chi Heng saw just now. Although you can move your perspective freely, you can’t interfere with the plot. You can only follow the protagonist through the plot. Of course, you don’t have to follow the protagonist, just sit in a remote corner and wait for the plot to end.

The latter can interfere with the plot of the movie, and can interfere according to the intervention point set by the producer, so that the plot goes in a different direction, either ending in tragedy or ending in comedy.

After experiencing it for a while, Chi Heng immediately realized that since there is such a movie, then this parallel world game probably uses this kind of virtual reality setting, which can be personally participated in and interfered with.

"Although the scenery is still slightly different from the real world... But if you don't observe carefully, it's almost impossible to tell the difference."

The texture quality of the movie still can’t be compared with the real world. At first glance, it looks the same, but if you stick to something, you can find a little bit of abnormal blur. question.

Chi Heng was shocked. He felt that with such technology, how could human beings distinguish between reality and virtuality?
This is really what Hilary Putnam wrote in his book "Reason, Truth and History", How does the human brain distinguish between reality and fiction?

When he was a child in school in China, he learned the story from the idiom of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. He still thought it was just a false imagination story of the ancients. He never thought that he would really experience the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly more than ten years later. shock.

After coming out of the flat-bed cabin, Chi Heng looked in a daze, and the "broken copper and iron" waiting outside asked him what was wrong worriedly.

"I'm fine, it's just...the level of technology here is so advanced that I can't even imagine it."

Chi Heng sighed.

Human beings are always more appropriate to what they see with their naked eyes. Although the rover has proved that the scientific and technological level of the research base far exceeds that of the earth, the technology of the rover is mainly concentrated in the internal structure, which he cannot see and experience. They are all minutiae, and the degree of shock is far less than the virtual reality experienced at this time.

"By the way, the movie just now..."

What makes him very strange is that the content of the movie is basically an ancient romance movie... The parallel world seems to have much the same history as the earth he is on. The movie timeline in the movie library, from 2000 BC to There are movies in 1895 AD, but there are no timeline movies after that.

What's more terrible is that it's all romance movies.

I wonder if the people in the research base love this type of movie so much?

He decided to come back to experience it later when he had time.

The type of gym is similar to that on Earth, except that there are a lot of fitness equipment that he doesn't know. It is impossible to have any clues here. After a few glances, he left.

The last one was the supermarket, but the shelves were empty, and he couldn't find a single item.

Considering that the old uncle, the deceased, and others lived here for a long time, it is strange that there are still goods on the shelves. It is estimated that they have been used up and cannot be replenished, so there are only empty shelves left.

Then, the next point of exploration comes.

F4 floor - dormitory!
This is where you are most likely to find many clues.

Chi Heng's mood changed from relaxed to nervous, hoping to find more clues, which was controlling his mood.

Coming out of the spiral staircase, Chi Heng saw several entrances, each corresponding to a corridor, and there were gates on both sides of the corridor.

These doors have no handles, just a screen next to the door, and the number used to distinguish the different rooms.

Start with A-4-1 and finish with A-4-40.

Chi Heng was not in a hurry to explore immediately. After reading the number of the entrance of the first corridor, he immediately went to the entrance of the second corridor to look at the other numbers. Sure enough, the room number of the second corridor changed from A-4 -41 starts and ends at A-4-80.

There are 4 corridors in total, so there are 320 rooms.

“There are quite a lot of rooms.”

Chi Heng nodded. Since there is no door handle or keyhole, it is obviously entered by the induction digital key.

He put the electronic watch on the screen and tried it, but unexpectedly the screen turned on, but a cross appeared, and the permissions in Chinese and English did not meet the instructions.

"and many more……"

Chi Heng immediately went to try seven or eight rooms in a row, but the result was that they were all refused because the authority did not meet the requirements.

"I'm an idiot...Since it's a dormitory, it must represent personal privacy. How could it be possible for others to come in and out at will."

Chi Heng suddenly realized that his watch did not have the highest authority of the base, so in this case, the dormitory, which represents personal privacy, must only be opened by the room owner.

He glanced at the door of the room. It was not a wooden door, nor an airlock door, but an automatic door made of an unknown alloy with an astonishing thickness. Once it was locked at a critical moment, it was impossible to open it manually.
