A year later, in the Spire Experimental Base.
A device that looked like a cryogenic chamber was placed on the laboratory floor.
It was like a transparent coffin. The upper half was made of translucent plexiglass, while the lower half was made of shiny alloy metal. At the rear of the device, there was an external device that was half the height of a person and had many exposed wires.
Chen Chen stood in front of the coffin with a scrutinizing gaze.
"This is the latest product of the psionic department's research."
Little X stood in front of the device in front of him and explained to Chen Chen, "Back then, we discovered that the psionic energy extracted from your brother has the ability to transmit information across dimensions. Unfortunately, the psionic power in your brother's body alone is too weak and difficult to make use of. The progress in the research of psionic technology is even slower, so we came up with a new method —"
With that, Little X clapped her hands excitedly. Suddenly, the metal wall behind her made a rumbling sound and rose upward like a shutter.
Chen Chen looked in the direction where Little X was pointing and saw rows of life incubators appearing behind the wall. These incubators were much smaller than the incubators used to cultivate human clones. They were all only half the height of a person. At first glance, they looked like piles of pickled vegetables.
What was even more surprising was that there was a human figure in each of these incubators!
It was a group of humans curled up in the incubator. They had fair skin and their eyes were tightly shut. They were in the fetal position. They had the body of a normal human but they were trapped in a narrow tank that was only half the height of a person. It was a very depressing sight.
"Clang clang clang clang!"
Little X stretched her hand behind her as if she was asking for credit. "That's replacing quality with quantity!"
Chen Chen looked at the rows of clones in front of him and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Don't tell me that these are all my brother..."
"Of course not, they're just clones of your brother."
Little X giggled. "Although they have the same genes, strictly speaking, they're not your brother. They're just a pile of meat."
"Is there a difference..."
Chen Chen spread his hands helplessly. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. In other words, in order to obtain the psionic energy that Chen Zeyu uses to transmit information across dimensions, you've made hundreds of copies of him?"
"It's not a few hundred, it's a total of 9,999."
Little X explained, "There are only three hundred of them in the Spire Experimental Base while the remaining six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clones are placed in the Spire 2 Base on Mars. This way, we have nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine psionicists with the ability to transmit messages across dimensions."
"Then …"
Little X explained as she turned around and walked to the end of the cryogenic chamber. "This is based on the Bose- Einstein condensate soldier generator you extracted from the movie Spectral. We've modified it into a technology that temporarily transmits human consciousness to another body in a quantum form."
"So, the combination of these two technologies can achieve what I want?"
Chen Chen wore a thoughtful expression. "First, quantum information is transmitted into the parallel world through interdimensional information transmission technology, then through quantum technology, the human consciousness in the real world is connected to the body in the parallel world? That's a good idea … "
"Of course!"
Little X was smug. "Don't underestimate me!"
"What about the body in the parallel world?"
Chen Chen asked again, "It takes three months to cultivate a clone."
"Then we'll use 3D printing technology."
Little X said confidently, "Our 3D printing technology is now quite mature. Although it's difficult to print brain tissue, it's still possible to print a body. Don't forget, the body in the parallel world doesn't need a brain."
"What a genius idea!"
Chen Chen shook his head and applauded in admiration. "One 3D printing only takes half an hour. This greatly saves time and costs. It's perfect for an online game."
This was the idea that Chen Chen came up with after he discovered that Chen Zeyu had been tampered with by the subspace.
After the execution of Chen Zeyu in the other world, his consciousness was brought back to reality by the subspace and was reborn in his own body. Although this was quickly discovered by Chen Chen, Chen Chen quickly realized that this was a unique opportunity that perfectly aligned with the final phase of his Four Eras Plan.
Therefore, over the past year, the Spire's laboratory had conducted in-depth research on Chen Zeyu's psionic powers. With the help of his special psionic powers, coupled with the quantum device extracted from the movie "Netherworld", they had created the device today —
It was an interdimensional quantum consciousness transmitter disguised as a gaming pod.
Next, it was time for the experiment.
Little X first selected one hundred felons, extracted their DNA, and scanned their body structure. After that, she used the time machine to bring these people's DNA into the end dimension. In that dimension, Blacklight Biotechnology began to gather the resources of the entire city to build a special 3D printing factory.
After the factory was completed, the 3D printing method was used to print the DNA of the one hundred felons.
After everything was done, Little X had these felons lie down in their "gaming chambers". After that, she used the 9,999 Chen Zeyu as the signal output device to transmit the consciousness of these one hundred felons into the end dimension.
As a result, a dramatic scene unfolded. These felons were actually reborn in the Doomsday Plane.
Due to the existence of quantum effects, this consciousness connection was completely real-time without the slightest delay. After these felons woke up in the other world, they even thought that they had transmigrated to another world.
The only drawback was that the radiation area of the signal relay station in the factory was too small. This group of people could only move around within the city. Once they left the city, the signal would be directly cut off.
Still, this was not a big deal. Next, they could build a signal relay station in the wild and slowly expand the activity area of these people.
"We can also install a consciousness switch on these printed individuals."
At this time, at this time, Little X added again. "From this, we can adjust the pain level of the real players from 0% to 100%. This way, it'll be suitable for the young and old!"
However, after hearing what Little X said, Chen Chen wore a pensive expression. "But then again, to the real people in the real world, other than being incredibly realistic, this world is actually very boring. After all, the players can't use any supernatural powers and can only live like ordinary people. Simply put, the game is too hardcore.
"At the same time, the cost of material comfort in this world is higher than the cost of living in the real world. After all, the civilization here has fallen to the bottom and is not in line with the fourth era I expected."
At this point, Chen Chen could not help but sigh. "So in the end, this technology is only a transitional product. Its true value lies in the ultra-long distance inter-dimensional information transmission. If we want to usher mankind into the fourth era, we still need a virtual reality game that can truly replace reality and realize a second life."
Having said that, after several experiments, Chen Chen personally lay down in this experimental cryogenic chamber.
At the same time, his DNA was also brought to the end dimension and began to print his 3D body.
Soon, half an hour had passed. Inside the game chamber, Chen Chen pressed the start button. After that, he only felt his vision go black as if his consciousness had passed through some kind of illusory space. When he regained consciousness again, he found himself lying in a cold crystal coffin...
The crystal coffin was filled with some kind of salty and fishy liquid. Chen Chen's naked body was soaked in this liquid. He slowly sat up, only to feel that his limbs were not listening to him and he could not muster a single ounce of strength in his body.
"Is this the body that was just 3D printed?"
Chen Chen patted his head, trying to quickly wake himself up, but he suddenly stopped moving. He just remembered that this current body did not have a brain. The head was just a lump of meat. His consciousness was still in the original body, just that it was mapped to this body through a special method.
Even if the game chamber was suddenly damaged, it would not cause the consciousness of the player to be trapped in the other world. Instead, it would directly wake up from the real world.
"Sir Commander, is that you?"
This time, it was the voice of X-112. She was ordered by Chen Chen to guard Blacklight City in the end dimension. It had been more than ten years since then.
"It's me."
Chen Chen stood up from the crystal coffin. Immediately, two Black Knights came forward to dry Chen Chen's body. After that, Chen Chen put on some casual clothes and was supported by the Black Knights down from the coffin.
He looked around the factory. This factory was built to be very large, densely packed with thousands of 3D printing equipment. These equipment were tightly packed together, and there was no end in sight.
"Long time no see."
X-112 said softly, "In this case, since you failed to hunt down the Consciousness Stealer fourteen years ago, you've been planning to occupy this world in an alternative way."
"If this method is feasible, it's naturally for the best."
Chen Chen gently pushed the Black Knights on both sides and began to adapt to the power of this body. He first tried to take two steps and said at the same time, "Of course, this is just an experiment. This world is of no use to me, especially after I obtained the subspace warp technology."
"Humans have a lot of planets to live on and there are also a lot of resources in the real universe to mine. This world can only be regarded as a chicken rib."
"Indeed."
X-112 agreed. "Do you need me to have someone accompany you on a tour of the current Blacklight City?"
"Let's take a look."
Chen Chen nodded noncommittally. While touring the city, he gradually adapted to his new body.
...
A few hours later, Chen Chen returned to the factory again.
"Looks like Blacklight City has developed quite well over the years."
Chen Chen was satisfied. This city was clearly much more prosperous than before.
"After all, with the support of resources in the real world, Blacklight City naturally developed more than other forces of the Joint Resistance Army."
X-112 explained.
"In that case, I can rest assured."
Chen Chen nodded. "Now it seems that Blacklight City can be used as the birthplace of this game. It can help future players understand this world, but we should still revise the game's background story."
With this in mind, Chen Chen paced back and forth thoughtfully, then said, "The original story background remains the same. Due to the appearance of the Consciousness Stealer, human civilization was completely destroyed. In the blink of an eye, it was four hundred years after the Cataclysm... Humanity was divided into two major forces, the Divine Fusion Empire and the Joint Resistance Army.
"The game can only choose our faction, but each player's background can be changed. For example, in the game, if you choose a childhood as a thief, then we can make the player's hands more flexible during the 3D printing process.
"If the player chooses the descendants of farmers, we can make their new body slightly stronger than ordinary people.
"And if the player chooses the descendants of soldiers, we can give them a set of leather armor and a dagger..."
"Then what about their parents?"
X-112 could not help interjecting and asked.
"Of course, their parents are dead."
Chen Chen spread his hands and smiled. "But your words also remind me that if players enter this world in the future, we definitely can't let them wake up in the 3D printing factory. My suggestion is to create a fast transportation channel and build several landmark buildings in Blacklight City. For example, players who choose a monk background will wake up in a monastery, those who choose a thief background will wake up in a slum, those who choose a farmer background will wake up in a farm, and so on..."
"Then, won't they think that it's their safe house?"
X-112 was a little confused.
"Of course, that's impossible."
Chen Chen shook his head. "In the background, we have to tell them that they're all people who have lost their parents and are penniless. All of their houses have been used to pay off their debts."
X-112: "..."
"At the same time, we have to build a large number of apartments in the city."
Chen Chen continued. "These apartments only allow players to enter, and there are only the most basic single rooms. If they want to go offline, they must go offline in their own room in the apartment. We can tell them in advance that only when they go offline in an officially recognized location will they be protected from harm and property loss. If they go offline in the outside world, when they come online again, they may have to create a new account."
X-112 was a little hesitant when he heard this. "But in this way, the gameplay of the game will be greatly reduced. If players want to leave Blacklight City for a long journey or attack the Divine Fusion Empire, won't they have no way to guarantee their own safety?"
"Then we'll have to use some mission NPCs... We can slowly plan these in the future."
Chen Chen thought for a moment and replied, "After all, a game isn't perfect right from the start. At least there's an internal and open beta period. At that time, we'll find a way to make up for it."
As the two of them talked, the background and details of the game were gradually finalized …
