Chu Jungui already knew that the real dream was actually a virtual world. It was connected to the mysterious signal through the data interface, thus entering the world that was said to be as real as reality.
But after listening to Dr. Zero's explanation, Chu Jungui realized that things were not that simple.
When a person enters a real dream state, the body's monitoring data will drop significantly, as if he were in deep sleep. But in fact, according to the oral accounts of people who have entered real dreams, in that world they are constantly exploring and even fighting, and their brains must be violently active. But no abnormal activity of brain waves could be detected in his body.
In other words, this person's consciousness is as if he has left his body and has completely entered the virtual world.
"How is this possible?" Chu Jungui felt that this seemed to go against scientific common sense.
Dr. Zero said: "With our current scientific level, it is indeed unexplainable. But the inability to explain does not mean that it does not exist. In fact, it does feel like the consciousness is completely separated from the body."
Looking at Chu Jungui's disbelieving eyes, Dr. Zero said, "I've tried it myself."
Dr. Zero seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, but Chu Jungui knew that an unknown world like this was very dangerous, not to mention that it could completely separate consciousness from the body. According to the regulations of the dynasty, people with Dr. Zero's status are strictly prohibited from entering real dreams. Once something happens to Dr. Zero, the dynasty cannot afford the loss at all.
Dr. Zero thought for a while and added: "I only went in twice and found nothing, so I came out again. Oh, this is top secret, don't tell anyone."
Chu Jungui will naturally not reveal the doctor's secrets.
The doctor said: "The real dream is not a primitive world, but there are many strange rules. These rules... do not seem to be naturally formed. Next I will explain to you one by one. First of all, any one of them passes specific data Anyone who enters the real dream through the interface will randomly fall into an initial area..."
"Region?" Chu Jungui asked one more question. With the rigor of a doctor, he would not use such a formal term casually.
"Yes, the real dream is divided into many areas. There are no obvious boundaries between areas. Areas are divided according to the degree of danger. There are currently three levels of official standards. This is also the standard we share with the Federation and the Community."
According to Dr. Zero, everyone will randomly go to an initial area after entering the real dream. The initial area is primitive and desolate, with low levels of danger. Each area has a different ecosystem, and ferocious beasts occasionally appear. Generally, people who have undergone strict training can survive in the initial area.
The initial area ranges from a few square kilometers to dozens of square kilometers. There are even cases where an unlucky guy falls directly into the middle of a large lake hundreds of kilometers away, and ends up drowning alive in the lake.
Leaving the initial area, the level of danger will rise sharply and you will enter the secondary area. Here, only those who have undergone high-level genetic optimization, are well-trained, and have built a set of equipment in the initial area can survive. The second-level area is very dangerous, but rich in resources and the ecosystem is more complex.
The third-level area is very dangerous, with all kinds of weird and powerful creatures running rampant, and it is also possible to encounter other people exploring in real dreams here. When introducing this point, the doctor emphasized that when you encounter people from the Federation and the Community, you must kill them immediately and never show mercy.
The specific reason is that real dreams seem to encourage exploration and fighting with each other. When a person kills more than a certain number of opponents, he or she may receive various gifts, or rewards. For example, when the Dynasty team wiped out the Federation team, everyone's corpses turned into billowing black mist, and Dr. Zero extracted a mysterious sequence based on this. After this sequence was obtained by the Federation, the Son of Hell was born. Obviously, the Federation has achieved certain breakthroughs in the genetic field and is now ahead of the dynasty.
In addition to killing, exploration can also be rewarding. The deeper you go into dangerous areas, the more likely you are to find all kinds of rare resources. Since the physical rules of real dreams are slightly different from those of the human universe, many resources in them can only be seen and used, but they do not know how they were formed. But there are some things that are inspiring once you see them. For example, Dynasty has developed 4 new alloy materials based on the harvest of real dreams, with key properties improved by at least 20%.
On the other hand, the deeper you explore, the more entry slots you get. Over the decades, with successive generations of experimenters, the number of places held by the dynasty has grown from the initial 2 to the current 270.
Harvest is also accompanied by danger. In the third-level area, it will become particularly dangerous every once in a while. It may be a beast tide or a natural disaster. The longer you survive, the higher the degree of danger. The vast majority of explorers fell in the first cataclysm, and only a few strong ones were able to survive the second cataclysm. It is said that so far, only a handful of people have survived the third disaster.
Hearing this, Chu Jungui was a little curious and asked: "Doctor, what areas did you explore the two times you went in?"
Dr. Zero thought for a while and said: "The first time was just a trial and error, just surviving in the third-level area and surviving 4 disasters. The second time is considered to be in-depth. Anyway, it was quite deep, so it should be... 4 Level area? But I only stayed in it for a day, and I felt there was a huge danger, so I voluntarily quit. But after I came back that time, Real Dream gave me 30 entry quotas."
Chu Jungui was shocked. When entering the real dreamland, everyone is completely destitute and has nothing on their body, not to mention underwear, even a hair tie. Everyone starts by surviving and making tools after entering. What's more terrible is that because the physical rules of the world are different, most of the materials inside have to be identified and studied by themselves.
For example, the melting point of iron in the real world is 1500 degrees, but in real dreams it becomes 1800 degrees. Similar differences are everywhere.
Dr. Zero can survive in it for so long and break into level 4 dangerous areas. In addition to his unparalleled wealth of knowledge, personal strength is also indispensable.
When Chu Jungui looked at the doctor again, he felt a little awe-inspiring. There might be a monster hidden in that tall and thin body.
In fact, after a long period of exploration, we have roughly figured out some methods. The first thing is to enter in groups, and then contact each other to search. After successfully forming a team, the chance of survival will be greatly improved. Similarly, after forming a team, it will be easier to kill people from other forces when you encounter them.
Danger is everywhere in the third-level area. Most people will fall in rounds of disasters, but if they are killed by others, the interface data will be reduced accordingly. When the amount of data is reduced to a certain level, this The interface is abolished, which is equivalent to one less quota. The winner will get the corresponding data, and when it accumulates to a certain level, a new interface will be generated.
Therefore, after decades of evolution, the main purpose of most people who enter the real dream world, apart from exploration, is to find ways to kill the explorers from the other two parties, so as to strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy. The number of quotas lost by the defeated party will be the number of quotas gained by the winner.
In addition, the magical thing is that people who enter real dreams will perfectly restore their bodies and even discover some abilities that they don't know about, but abilities that don't exist at all will never appear. In other words, after a special soldier enters, he is naturally much stronger than a programmer in a home laboratory.
The introduction was almost done here. Chu Jungui already knew what he was going to do. He finally asked a question: "Has Austin been in there too? How many disasters has he survived?"
"Seven times."
"What kind of disaster can't even survive him? A volcanic eruption?"
"No, it's the plague."
After the introduction, Chu Jungui climbed out of the medical cabin and walked into the experimental area naked. There are a large number of staff and scientific researchers in this experimental area, monitoring his physical condition at all times and providing immediate rescue in the event of an accident.
Chu Jungui was lying on the experimental table, and the hatch cover slowly closed. He finally thought about the two ways to return. One is death. When returning, the brain will be severely damaged, affecting more than 10% of intelligence. The other is active return, which takes a certain amount of time. After return, the brain will be slightly damaged, with 1% regional damage and a permanent 1% decrease in intelligence.
Therefore, the experimenters used by Dynasty are generally allowed to enter the real dream world ten times. Once there is death in it, they will immediately exit the project and will not be asked to enter again.
A soft voice sounded in Chu Jungui's ears: "Get ready to enter the real dreamland, the 30-minute countdown begins..."
At the same moment, there was another scene in the Federation's secret experimental base. 20 access modules were lined up in the experimental hall. There were 20 people standing in front of the access modules, both men and women, all of them looking fierce and murderous. In front of them, a man with muscles on his forehead was walking around and said: "The previous group of people, your seniors, had very unsatisfactory results. They only killed 5 opponents, but they paid their own way." The cost of 8 people! This cost us a complete quota in a single operation! Now, it’s our turn for the 5th Squadron! You have all gone through 3 years of complete training. The first thing you do after entering is to survive. Go down; the second thing is to form a team; the third thing is to kill those sons of bitches from all dynasties and communities within sight! I want a spot!"
20 soldiers agreed in unison, the sound was deafening.
The instructor was very satisfied and continued: "By the way, there is a special target to pay attention to this time. I heard that a very powerful guy came from the Dynasty, called Chu Jungui. He killed one million of us in the N77 star field. People! Although the Marines are all stupid pigs, a million pigs are not a lot. This time, Lord Austin personally invited him to enter the quota, and as Lord Austin’s admirers, our mission is to put him in once Kill it again and get that spot back! Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
"Very good, let's go!"
The 20 soldiers immediately ran to their access cabins separately, and then closed the hatch covers one by one.
At this time, an alarm suddenly sounded on the other side of the hall. A group of medical staff rushed over, opened an access cabin, and lifted out an unconscious person from inside.
The instructor frowned slightly, this scene happened almost every day. Obviously, another unlucky guy died in a real dream.
