Build a game empire from scratch

Recently, Lin You has been researching the consciousness chip, and now it is hard not to think of this thing immediately, so that other possibilities are blocked by this "too obvious" answer.

However, it is easy to think of a consciousness chip, but it is difficult to actually implement it.

Lin You is not yet ready to completely bring one's consciousness into the virtual world.

To be more precise: he hadn't thought about it at all!

Regarding this technology, the farthest thing he can think of so far is to disguise it as a more advanced chip, add a stricter physical lock, and use Yunmeng's server or [Mirage 3.0], [Bafang 2.0] and other equipment superior.

Even these, he has not yet fully made up his mind to do it.

The only way to really make up your mind is to upgrade your own equipment, so that portable equipment can also surpass the effect of home consoles.

As for using it on the transfer of human consciousness?

He originally thought that he would make up his mind only when the research and development pipeline of the special-effect drug for ALS they invested in failed hundreds of times, and Xiaochun's condition deteriorated rapidly.

After all, this technology is really important, and once it is discovered by the outside world, it is difficult to say what will happen in the end.

Is it good or bad?

No one knows, it's almost like gambling.

And Lin You doesn't like to gamble.

But if he didn't gamble, would he just sit back and watch Sisi lose his life like this?

For strangers, he might be able to do it, but for those close to him, Lin You couldn't bear it.

Moreover, this matter does not mean that if he wants to do it, he will definitely be able to do it.

Become a vagrant in a virtual world?

Sisi willing?

Are Sisi's parents willing?

Even if you want to, will the experiment be successful?

What if it fails?

Not to mention that this experiment is likely to be illegal-although the operation of the brain-computer interface is not complicated and does not involve ethics, the transfer of consciousness undoubtedly involves human ethics and moral issues of scientific research.

If Shanggang goes online, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a human experiment.

...

Safety, ethics, law, confidentiality, family opinion... there are too many issues to consider.

Finally, there is the matter of time.

All things must be completed within three months... Considering the uncertainty of acute illness, the time may even be shortened to one and a half months.

Can it really be done?

...

...

Lin You had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say a word to Liang Xingchang, he just sorted out his mood, opened the door and walked into the ward.

Sisi's parents, who Lin You rarely saw before and who were always busy, appeared in the ward now.

Moreover, it seemed that the two had been guarding in the ward for a long time, and both of them showed obvious decadence.

When they saw Lin You coming in, they smiled at him pretending to be optimistic, but the smile was fleeting, and soon turned to fatigue and powerlessness.

Only Sisi on the hospital bed, her eyes lit up when she saw Lin You appearing, greeted him happily.

The little girl did not tell about her illness, but introduced her new friend to Lin You: "This is my new friend Xiaobai, he is very obedient and has always been with me."

Lin You looked away from her pale face, and looked at the little tiger Bai Ze who was curled up and nestled beside Sisi's pillow.

"Does Sisi like "Pokemon"?"

"Well, I like them very much, they are so cute." Sisi's likes were written all over her face, but she felt a little sad after being happy, "But I'm sick and can't go outside to play."

"Does Sisi want to catch a pet? Which one do you like?"

"No." Sisi shook her head lightly, "I have many little pets, and they are all cute, but I can only let one out, I want them all to come out and play together."

That's right, it's obviously impossible for Si Si to raise the master's level through pet battles, so she can only summon one spirit beast at the same time.

And if you want to enter the world in the painting, you need the [Mountain and Sea Scroll], and it is also impossible for Si Si to catch up with Zou Wu.

Lin You then asked: "Does Sisi want to go to the virtual world and play with many little pets?"

"Is it the world in the painting?"

To Lin You's surprise, Sisi did not become happy, but even more disappointed: "I can't stay in the virtual world now."

"Stay in the virtual house for a while, and I can't play the new gameplay of [Candy Track]..."

Lin You was stunned for a moment, still wondering why, and Sisi's mother next to him explained to him: "When the pain was not serious in the early days, Sisi could still play in the virtual world for a while, but now she is in too much pain... ..."

At this point, Sisi's mother was a little bit speechless, but she tried her best to look directly at Lin You, and sincerely asked, "Can you help us to make Sisi... happy."

The last sentence, she swallowed a few words, Lin You guessed that it should be "the last days".

However, he also understood the reason why Sisi couldn't enter the virtual world——

After all, the mirage just blinds the brain through external neural signals, rather than really taking over the brain's neural signal transmission.

This kind of "wireless" signal blinding from outside to inside is much weaker than the "wired" nerve connection inside the human body.

Once there is a drastic change in the real body, the player will be kicked out of the virtual world immediately.

The severe pain will undoubtedly seriously interfere with the signal transmission in the virtual world, making the link extremely unstable.

Sisi should be suffering from long-term pain due to the advanced stage of the disease, combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and complications, and it is difficult to stay in the virtual world stably.

It is just a beautiful luxury to want to shield pain through the virtual world.

——What the virtual world can shield and adjust is only the false pain that arises in the virtual world.

In general, it is true.

But in Lin You's case, it's not impossible.

He took off his headband silently, adjusted the size, and put it on for Sisi.

Sisi was puzzled at first, but soon her eyes widened, and she looked around the room in surprise.

Lin You left the head ring, naturally he couldn't see what Xiaomeng showed Sisi, but if he guessed it, the ward at this time should have been filled to the brim with all kinds of little monsters.

But those are the minutiae, what really matters is: "Does it feel better?"

"Yeah!" Si Si nodded vigorously, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's amazing! Thank you brother!"

Lin You knew that it was impossible to be completely painless.

A lazy person like him—of course, it can be said better, a person who believes in the concept of "All in One" has already integrated all functional headbands together.

And because of Xiaomeng's particularity and a sense of superiority that "no one else has what I have", his headband is naturally a "specially modified model" that cannot be found on the market.

Because of this, Xiaomeng can use this headband to achieve high-intensity signal output and interference that is impossible in the conventional sense, and then disrupt the "wired" nerve signals to a certain extent, greatly weakening the pain felt by Sisi.

But this approach is not sustainable.

Not only will it greatly reduce the hardware life of the headband, but it will also have a negative impact on the user's nervous system.

However, these effects will only show up after a long period of accumulation, and Sisi... I'm afraid she won't be able to persist until the day when the negative effects appear.

I don't know if it's because her parents were around and gave her courage. After the pain eased, Sisi became more talkative-this was in great contrast to her shy and introverted appearance before.

She happily said that her parents are by her side every day, telling her stories, buying delicious food, and helping her collect small pets...

It's all because of how kind her parents are to her.

But as she was talking, Sisi's parents couldn't stand it any longer. Her father said to go to the doctor to discuss things, while her mother said to go to the bathroom, and they both left the ward temporarily.

Only the old man was left here.

After her parents left, Sisi suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Brother, come here, I'll tell you a secret."

"What?" Lin You lowered his head and put his ears closer.

Si Si whispered: "I actually know that I am dying."

"!" Lin You's eyes widened instantly, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

But Sisi didn't want him to comfort her, but went on to say:

"So I secretly wrote many, many small notes and hid them at home."

"In this way, when I leave in the future, my parents can often find the letters I left and know that I love them."

"That's a gift I left for them."

Children actually have no idea about death, and Sisi didn't appear too scared or sad, but rather happy.

But Lin You felt that his heart was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

The little girl didn't know that if she really died, then for her parents, these notes would become the cruelest "literal words" in the world.

And again and again...

At this moment, Lin You finally made up his mind.

He touched the little girl's head and said softly:

"Sisi, I also have a gift for you."

"This gift is very important, so I still need a little time to prepare, can you wait for me?"
