Vol 3 Chapter 924: Countdown

Chu Jungui already knew that the real dream is actually a virtual world, connected with the mysterious signal through the data interface, thus entering the world that is 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 drastically, just like a deep sleep. But in fact, according to people who have entered the real dream state, in that world is constantly exploring and even fighting, the brain must be violently active. However, no abnormal brain wave activity was detected on his body.
In other words, this person's consciousness is the same as having separated from the body, and has completely entered that virtual world.
"How is this possible?" Chu Jungui felt that this seemed to violate scientific common sense.
Dr. Zero said: "At our current level of science, it is indeed impossible to explain. But being unable to explain does not mean that it does not exist. In fact, the feeling does seem to be completely separated from the body."
Seeing Chu Jungui's unbelievable gaze, Dr. Zero said, "I have 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 the consciousness from the body. According to dynasty regulations, people like Dr. Zero are strictly forbidden to enter real dreams. Once Dr. Zero has an accident, the dynasty cannot afford to lose.
Dr. Zero thought for a while, and added: "I went in twice and found nothing, so I came out again. Oh, this is top secret, don't tell anyone."
Naturally, Chu Jungui would not reveal the doctor's secrets.
The doctor said: "The real dream is not the original world, but there are many strange rules. These rules... do not appear to be naturally formed. Next I will explain to you one by one. First of all, any one through specific data Anyone who enters a real dream through the interface will randomly fall into an initial area..."
"Region?" Chu Jungui asked one more sentence. 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 is no obvious boundary between the areas. The areas are divided according to the degree of danger. There are currently three official standards. This is also the standard shared by us, the Federation and the Community."
According to Dr. Zero, after everyone enters the real dream, they will randomly go to an initial area. The initial area is primitive and desolate, with a low degree of danger inside. Each area has a different ecosystem, and ferocious beasts occasionally appear. Generally, people who have undergone rigorous training can survive in the initial zone.
The initial area varies from a few square kilometers to dozens of square kilometers, and even some unlucky guys fell directly into the center of a large lake hundreds of kilometers, and finally drowned in the lake alive.
Leaving the initial area, the degree of danger will rise linearly, and it will enter the secondary area. Here, unless it is a high-level genetic optimization, well-trained, and a person who has built a suit in the initial area can survive. The secondary area is very dangerous, but the resources are abundant and the ecosystem is more complex.
The third-level area is very dangerous, all kinds of weird and powerful creatures run rampant, and here it is also possible to encounter other people exploring in real dreams. At the time of the introduction, the doctor emphasized that when encountering people from the Federation and the Community, they must be killed as soon as possible, and they must not be soft.
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, it is possible to get various gifts, or rewards. For example, the dynasty team completely wiped out the Federation team, and eventually everyone's corpses turned into black mist. Based on this, Dr. Zero extracted a mysterious number sequence. After this sequence was obtained by the Federation, the son of was born. Obviously, the Federation has achieved breakthroughs in certain genetic fields and is now ahead of the dynasty.
In addition to killing, exploration will also be rewarding. The deeper you go into dangerous areas, the more likely you are to find all kinds of rare resources. Due to the slight difference between the physical rules of the real dream and the human universe, many of the resources in it can only be seen and used, without knowing how it was formed. But as long as you see something, it is inspiration. For example, Dynasty has now developed 4 new alloy materials based on the harvest of real dreams, and the key performance has been improved by at least 20%.
On the other hand, the deeper the exploration, the more places you will get. Over the past few decades, with generations of experimenters stepping forward, the number of places in the hands of the dynasty has changed from the original 2 to the current 270.
Harvesting is also accompanied by danger. In the third-level area, it will become particularly dangerous every once in a while. It may be beast tide or natural disaster. The longer the survival time, the higher the degree of danger. Most of the explorers fell in the first catastrophe, and only a few strong people can survive the second catastrophe. It is said that so far, only a handful of people have survived the third cataclysm.
Hearing this, Chu Jungui was a little curious and asked, "Doctor, what area did you explore the two times you went in?"
Dr. Zero thought for a while, and said, "The first time is a groping, but I survived in the third-level area, and survived 4 cataclysms. The second time is considered to be deep, anyway, it is quite deep, it should be regarded as...4 Level area? But I just stayed in it for a day, and felt great danger, and took the initiative to retreat. But after that time, Real Dreamland gave me 30 places to enter."
Chu Jungui was taken aback. When entering the real dream, everyone is poor and white, there is nothing on the whole body, not to mention underwear, not even a tie. Everyone starts with survival and manufacturing tools after entering. What's more terrible is that the physical rules of the world are not the same, and most of the materials inside have to be identified and used 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 a level 4 dangerous area. In addition to unmatched rich 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 time of exploration, some methods have been roughly explored. The first is to enter in batches, and then contact each other to find out. After successfully forming a team, the survival rate will be greatly improved. Similarly, after forming a team, it is easier to kill when encountering people from other forces.
The danger in the third-level area is everywhere. Most people will fall in a round of catastrophe, but if they are killed by others, then the interface data will be reduced accordingly. When the amount of data is reduced to a certain extent, this The interface is abolished, which is equivalent to one less quota. The winner will get the corresponding data, and when the accumulation reaches 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 is to find ways to kill the explorers of the other two parties, so that they can both strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy. As many places as the defeated side loses, the winner will get as many places as possible.
In addition, the magical point is that people who enter the real dream state will restore their bodies perfectly, and even discover some abilities that they don't know, but abilities that don't exist at all won't appear. In other words, when a special soldier enters, he is naturally much stronger than the programmer in the house laboratory.
The introduction is almost here, Chu Jungui already knows what he is going to do. He finally asked a question: "Austin also went in? How many catastrophes has he survived?"
"Seven times."
"What kind of catastrophe even he can't survive? A volcanic eruption?"
"No, it's the plague."
After the introduction, Chu Jungui crawled 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 rescue as soon as an accident occurs.
Chu Jungui lay on the experimental platform, and the hatch slowly closed. He finally recalled the two ways of returning. One was death. When he returned, his brain would be severely damaged, which had an impact on intelligence of more than 10%. The other is active regression, which takes a certain period of time. After the return, the brain will be slightly damaged, the area will be damaged by 1%, and the intelligence will be permanently reduced by 1%.
Therefore, the test personnel used by the dynasty generally have an upper limit of ten times to enter the real dream state. Once there is a death in it, they will immediately withdraw from the project and will not be asked to enter again.
A soft voice sounded in Chu Jungui's ear: "Preparing to enter the real dream, the 30-minute countdown begins..."
At the same moment, the secret experiment base of the Federation was another scene. In the experiment hall, 20 access pods were lined up. There were 20 people standing in front of the access pods. There were men and women, all of them sturdy and murderous. In front of them, a man with muscles on his forehead was walking around, saying: "The last group of people, that is, your predecessors, had very unsatisfactory results. They only killed 5 opponents, but they paid for it. The price of 8 people! This made us lose a full spot in a single operation! Now, it is our 5th squadron's turn! You have all experienced 3 years of complete training. The first thing after entering is to live. Go down; the second thing is to form a team; the third thing is to get rid of all dynasties and communities in your sight! I want a spot!"
Twenty soldiers agreed in unison ~EbookFREE.me~ their voices were deafening.
The instructor was very satisfied and continued: "By the way, there is a special goal that needs attention this time. I heard that a very powerful guy called Chu Jungui came from the dynasty. He killed us one million in the N77 star field. People! Although the Marines are stupid pigs, one million pigs is not enough. This time Master Austin personally invited him to enter the quota. As an admirer of Master Austin, our task is to treat him once. Kill it again and get back that spot! Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
"Very good, let's go!"
The 20 fighters immediately ran to their access compartments separately, and then the hatches closed one by one.
Suddenly an alarm sounded on the other side of the hall, and a group of medical staff rushed over, opened an access compartment, and carried out a comatose person from the inside.
The instructor frowned slightly, this kind of scene happened almost every day. Obviously, another hapless guy died in the real dream.
