"That's right! Digital Cat feels that there should be some hidden settings in the background of this competition. I think it will most likely be activated when the number of people remaining reaches a certain range. "
"Yeah, I think so too. It should be related to the shelters everywhere."
…
"Number of people remaining: 102029 … 101549 … 100921 …"
"Reminder, the number of people remaining in the arena is approaching the target. Reminder, the number of people remaining is approaching the target. "
In the underground ruins where Nightless Land was located, the countdown on the main screen of the "God Making Plan" was approaching 100,000.
"Unlock the Skynet restriction interface!"
An Asian old man NPC with slightly white hair, wearing a pair of scientific glasses, dressed meticulously like a professor.
After taking a deep breath, he solemnly gave the order.
"Unlocking the Skynet restriction interface …"
Immediately, a researcher answered after operating for a while.
"Swoosh …"
On the largest main screen in the center, a map of the Federation appeared at this time. On it, there were countless white dots representing virtual cabins.
"Opening the target virtual cabin, Spiritual Link System!"
"Opening the target's Spiritual Link System …"
Immediately afterward, among the white dots on the main screen, red dots appeared one after another. These red dots covered the entire Federation. Although it was difficult to directly distinguish the number, it was obviously at the level of 100,000.
“100239！”
In fact, from the upper left corner of the screen, which was the same number as the number of people remaining, the meaning was obvious.
"Construct the Spiritual Link Network!"
The old man who looked like a professor was obviously a little excited at this time.
"Constructing the Spiritual Link Network …"
On the main screen, all the scattered red dots began to extend.
Straight lines began to extend, connecting each other in the form of a network.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
However, just when all the red dots were completely connected, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
All of a sudden, an alarm sounded from an instrument.
"What's going on?"
The old researcher NPC immediately turned his attention to the source of the voice.
"Unknown fluctuations in the Skynet interface, unknown fluctuations in the Skynet interface … Spiritual Network is affected, Spiritual Network program is affected!"
Accompanied by the mechanical voice's warning, the image on the main screen changed rapidly.
The network that was originally composed of red dots and lines began to continue to expand. One by one, the empty dots were quickly lit up by the extended red lines. In the blink of an eye, the number of red dots had expanded more than ten times, and it was still increasing.
On the other hand, the images on the other screens were constantly flashing and flashing with chaotic streams of data.
"What's going on?"
In the military officer area in the middle of the hall, a person with the rank of major general, who should be the highest officer here, asked through the wireless headset with a stern expression.
"Something is wrong with SkyNet … It is spreading the mental link network to all the virtual cabins!"
Beside him, a relatively young NPC researcher replied with some sweat on his forehead.
"Restrain Marcus immediately!"
The Major General's face darkened when he heard this.
The first thing he did was to order the armed soldiers in the hall to immediately separate the dumbfounded clone Marcus.
"Can I turn off the mental link system immediately?"
This Major General obviously knew some technology. He looked at the main screen and asked with a gloomy expression.
On the screen, the network, which was originally only 100,000 connections, had turned into a super red network that covered the entire territory of the federation!
The statistics in the upper left corner had become eight digits.
It meant that the virtual cabin connected to the network had reached the level of ten million!
"There's no way to forcibly cut it off!
The mental link system is currently in an active state and has been expanded to all the virtual cabins, resulting in a huge amount of mental power. If it is forcibly cut off, it will cause all the participants in the competition to suffer mental damage, and even a large proportion of them will suffer brain death!
Even if they are not participating, as long as they are in the virtual cabin, they will still be in the mental link network and will be affected. This is more than ten million … No, it's already more than 50 million people! "
The young researcher looked at the constantly rising numbers, and the sweat on his forehead was already like rain.
To enter the arena, players needed to go through the virtual cabin. Otherwise, they could only watch the broadcast from a third person's perspective.
In a game like War, the arena was originally a relatively popular mode of play, so there were hundreds of millions of virtual cabins in the entire Federation camp.
And because of the competition, all of these virtual cabins had already been filled with people.
This was not 100 people, not 10,000 people, not even a million people, but hundreds of millions of people!
Even if the proportion of people suffering from mental damage was not high, the absolute number was definitely more than a million people, not including the players who were not participating in the competition and the probability of brain death!
If it was because of factors such as the attack of the rebel army or Resident Evil, it would be fine.
However, this was organized by the federal government and the military, and millions of people were injured or even brain dead because of an experimental accident?
Not to mention that these people trapped in the arena were all the top figures among the players, and many of them also had a lot of connections among the NPCs.
Even so, during the game's development, many players already had the ability to influence the NPC military higher-ups, or they themselves already had the military rank of captain or colonel!
Under such circumstances, no matter what, the mental network could not be forcibly cut off.
As for the fact that players could be resurrected, in fact, because they had entered the storyline, this was automatically ignored in the eyes of the NPCs.
"Then shut down the Skynet. Since the Skynet interferes with the Skynet, you can't do anything about it. Since it's interfered with by Skynet, then shutting down Skynet should be effective, right? "
At that moment, standing not far from the Major General, a young man of about 25 or 26 years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with shiny hair, said loudly.
He was not from the military, but was sent by the NPC federal government as an observer. On the surface, his identity was a secretary of a high-ranking official, but his real identity was the third generation of a political family.
Speaking at this time was obviously to show his existence, which was the habit of most government officials.
"Shut down Skynet? Ha, how? "
After hearing his words, a middle-aged researcher wearing glasses said in a mocking tone.
"What do you mean?"
The expression of the young high-ranking official's secretary was a little angry.
"Skynet is not the name of a brain, but an intelligent network area formed by the combination of countless terminals and brains. In theory, unless all terminals connected to Skynet are destroyed. Otherwise, there is no way to completely shut it down! "
"Not to mention other things, just look at the current tens of millions of virtual cabins, it is not something that we can shut down in a short period of time. Moreover, the consequences of shutting it down is no less than breaking the mental link."
"Skynet is a project of your government, and you don't even know this? Tsk … "
The middle-aged researcher NPC directly retorted.
So what if you are the secretary of a high-ranking official, so what? So what if you are the third generation of a certain political family?
The headquarters of the federal military was centered on Storm City, which was located at the border, and the capital city where the government was located at the rear. They had a tradition of disliking each other.
Most importantly, Skynet was indeed something that belonged to a government department.
For the military that valued confidentiality, especially researchers like them, originally this kind of open network was very disliked.
They knew that once there was a problem, it would not only be difficult to solve, but it would also be a big problem.
However, the federal government, as well as the large companies and financial groups involved in the construction and after of Skynet, pushed forward regardless of the warnings.
Now that there was indeed a problem with Skynet, they naturally would not be polite!
