Chapter 169: The Body is Evolving
A certain underground research laboratory abroad.
“Huaxia has a holographic simulation game? A game like Second Life? What a joke! Have the Huaxia people gone mad again?”
“It’s been hyped up extremely hot in their country recently. It’s said that millions watch the live broadcast every day. It doesn’t seem fake; they couldn’t possibly afford to fake something like this.”
“Holographic? I don’t believe it. Isn’t that your home country? You go and find out about this matter.”
“Yes…”
*
“What holographic simulation? Have the Huaxia people secretly developed new technology again? Could it be to deal with us?”
“Nonsense, it’s just a holographic game. Their people are playing it first. Even if there’s new technology, we’ll definitely deserve something better.”
“…”
*
“Holographic game? What the heck is that? Go to Huaxia and investigate if Huaxia has any new developments recently…”
“Yes, Boss.”
…
As the popularity of holographic games exploded domestically, foreign countries also gradually began to pay attention to Huaxia’s extraordinary game.
Every move Huaxia made could affect the whole world, and many countries secretly wanted to send people to inquire.
There were also those dedicated to scientific research who, without any pretense, directly called domestic research scholars.
They asked if Huaxia had truly developed epoch-making holographic technology.
It should be known that holographic technology actually has its nascent form now, but at most, it can only virtualize scenery, allowing people to experience a virtual environment for a moment.
To completely immerse a person in another holographic world and even simulate all senses is basically impossible.
This first requires deceiving the brain.
But the person is awake, and the brain must remain unaffected. It’s completely impossible.
The domestic scholars were all bewildered.
Except for the younger ones who paid more attention to current events and knew about the emergence of this new game, most scholars engrossed in research hadn’t even heard of the Shattered Sect game.
It wasn’t until they were called and asked that they belatedly realized such a game had appeared on the market.
Could it be black technology researched by the country behind the scenes?
The country itself was also confused!
This game hadn’t concealed anything from the country at all; in fact, their people had already entered the game to experience it.
According to reports, this game already existed in reality.
And regardless of whether it was holographic or not, the world inside, according to the experience reports of the players themselves, was a world that existed entirely in reality.
Why were they so certain?
It was probably because while playing the game, their minds were incredibly clear, but their bodies on Blue Star had actually fallen into a deep sleep.
“It’s just that the game’s monitoring system is exceptionally sensitive. When we touched Zhan Sheng, she immediately woke up and told us it was a system prompt, indicating that the system, at least to some extent, can monitor the player’s surroundings.”
“It cannot be guaranteed yet how far the system can monitor. At the very least, staff members are not allowed to play the game at the base, and confidentiality regulations also prohibit it.”
“This also indicates that while playing the game, the player is essentially in a deep sleep in reality.”
In a room, looking at Zhan Sheng next door putting on a helmet to play the game, Liu Wenyu pushed his glasses up: “No wonder Shuitan reported that his spirit wouldn’t be affected after playing the game.”
While playing the game, it was equivalent to deep sleep, and after getting off the game, they were full of energy.
They no longer needed to sleep at all.
The reporting personnel were somewhat surprised: “But according to the messages in the group, most players still need to sleep normally.”
“That’s normal, the brain is just being deceived,” another reporting person said. “Currently, besides Zhan Sheng and Shuitan, only Jiang Tianya has told us that he doesn’t need much sleep. Other players are mostly ordinary people, and the changes are not very obvious yet, indicating that their brains have not yet accepted this evolution.”
Liu Wenyu looked over with a thoughtful gaze: “Are you saying that this game is promoting human evolution?”
This researcher clearly had his own opinion: “This is just my speculation. Although I know that such unbelievable things are hard for people to believe when spoken, based on our observations of Jiang Tianya and Shuitan, this is indeed a manifestation of evolution. I previously majored in psychology. Do you know anything about split personalities?”
“In certain environments, completely different personalities can emerge. At the same time as this personality appears, the human body will also undergo changes that science cannot explain. For example, we generally believe that the brain controls everything, and the brain has absolute power to change the body.”
“For instance, if the main personality was allergic to something, even fatally, and the sub-personality has no concept of allergens, they wouldn’t be allergic, yet they are the same body. Incredible, right? Now, players are similar to this situation. They enter another world, which is essentially living out another personality. The difference is that it’s all their own thoughts. If they are affected in that world, it will naturally affect their bodies on Blue Star.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
It had been two months since this game appeared.
Two months, coupled with the country’s quick reaction, was enough to research some things.
However, compared to ordinary people finding holographic simulation technology incredible, they had already discovered the game’s more terrifying underlying logic.
—It was promoting the evolution of those who entered the game.
Everything that happened in the game would be fed back into reality.
Except for that magical spiritual energy, the brain would clearly and gradually change the real body according to this game.
“Incredible…”
Liu Wenyu murmured: “This is simply a maddening thing. It’s not just a game…”
“Indeed, it’s incredible,” the researcher said with a wry smile. “If the news were released, it would drive the whole world crazy. Fortunately, it doesn’t accept us using any backend methods to enter the game. Whether one can enter the game depends entirely on luck, and the number of quotas released is too small, so it won’t cause a major upheaval for now.”
Liu Wenyu continued to ask: “Will this game have any negative effects on us?”
The researcher was silent for a moment: “To be honest, with this kind of technology, even if the creator behind it has some purpose, we probably won’t be able to resist it.”
“…”
This was indeed the truth.
However, Liu Wenyu’s eyes became sharp at this moment: “I know this technology is beyond our comprehension, but we have an entire country behind us, and we are responsible for the people. Even if it is incredible, we must try to engage with it, observe it carefully, and not easily lose our vigilance.”
“Yes, we will definitely proceed cautiously and conduct our research work meticulously.”
