War Paradise

While Pulse Entertainment was in chaos, the Pentagon was also in chaos at this time.

The military employees ran back and forth, and holographic projections that were making sounds appeared in every corner. The military command organization, which has been inactive for a long time, is now very busy.

In this peaceful age, the generals of the U.S. military have long been accustomed to ease, and they would never have imagined that they would have been pampered for a long time. Someone would use such a "wild" method to attack a U.S. military base and directly wipe the entire base off the map!

Now, what they have to face is tens of billions of dollars in economic losses and unidentified terrorists.

However, when it comes to the identity of the enemy, the opponent seems to have blew himself up:

After receiving the news from the "Pulse Entertainment Company", although the Pentagon would not easily believe it, it still had strong doubts about the arsenal.

After all, that factory did produce space warfare weapons controlled by AI. And that weapon is floating around the earth at this moment.

"Are there other satellite weapons nearby?" a fat-eared officer asked loudly.

"No, the nearest satellite weapon will not arrive until forty minutes, and it cannot be aimed at that universe." The young soldier sitting in front of the holographic projection device immediately replied, "But we can activate the space telescope to observe the weapon. trend."

"Start immediately!" The officer roared, "What are you waiting for, son of a bitch?"

"Yes."

The soldier switched the picture to a nearby space telescope and captured the picture in the dark universe. What appeared in front of the officer was a hexagonal "mirror."

The silver hexagon in the picture is pure and flawless, like the wings of an angel, but when he sees it, the officer's face suddenly becomes gloomy:

"It opened its solar sail, is it going to leave low-Earth orbit?"

"It should be..." the young soldier replied, "With this solar sail, it can leave our attack range within 24 hours."

"No, you can't let it run away!" The officer roared: "This thing consumes tens of billions of dollars in our budget. You can't let it leave like this!"

"BOSS, I'm sorry..." The young soldier shook his head: "We don't have satellite weapons aimed at space in that area. We only have three satellite guns aimed at Asia. It takes a long time for an armed aerospace plane to reach that area. For a while. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do...to prevent it from leaving."

...

"So, you planned all of this?"

Lin Chi stared at the girl sitting next to him, waiting for her answer.

In this way, the real "behind the scenes" of "Paradise of War" is the ordinary girl next to him. However, even though he had obviously shown hostility, the girl was still very calm, smiling as before, without any nervousness at all:

"Of course it's not me, I just watched it. Do you understand? I can't get out of here."

"I know that Cold Mountain Lab admitted a child suffering from radiation sickness, and transferred that child's consciousness into the virtual space. Uh... By the way, that's your friend, right?" The girl laughed.

"Yes, Lengshan Laboratory ruined his life." Lin Chi whispered.

"Next time I see him, please convey my apologies." The girl blinked and said, "Get back to business, although the child is also miserable, but his brain is not damaged and can still function normally. My situation is different. , The disease I am suffering from, I will not be kind to let go of my mind."

"What disease is it?" Lin Chi asked.

"It's Progeria."

The girl’s voice was soft, lying down on the lawn and looking up at the blue sky: “I’m aging more than ten times faster than normal people. At the age of ten, I have suffered from high blood pressure, kidney failure, various complications, and even The brain is beginning to shrink."

"That's really miserable."

"Yeah, my physical condition can't hold on to the day when the Lengshan Lab successfully uploaded human consciousness." The girl nodded, "What you see now is just an adult form simulated by the system, the real one. I... didn't live to this age at all."

"So your father chose the'curve to save the country' and joined the Pulse Entertainment Company to realize his plan." Lin Chi's right hand swept across the grass, a cool touch flowing through his fingertips.

"Yes, as he wished, I did reach eternity in this world."

The girl stood up again and stroked her cheek with her right hand: "The AI ​​program of Pulse Entertainment has created other'creators' by simulating my consciousness. But I know that everything about me is actually fake, no matter it is this The body is still this consciousness.

The real me has long since died on the icy hospital bed. I here is just a "ghost" hidden in the quantum computer. "

"That's not enough." Lin Chi stared at the other's slender back: "At least you are still thinking."

"I can't leave at all."

The girl laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am always bound in this'refuge' and can no longer get out of it. If discovered by other creators, they will grab me and'slice and study', so I have always been cautious. Avoid their sight."

"But you let me in." Lin Chi said thoughtfully.

Obviously, if the girl does not open the passage, she will not find this place in her life, since he allows an outsider to enter, that is to say--

"Do you want to see me?"

Hearing Lin Chi's words, the girl smiled slightly: "Yes, I opened this door and invited you. I ask you: Do you want to stay here?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi was taken aback for a moment, and made a surprised voice: "Huh?"

"To be honest, when I first saw the designers and they wanted to implement the plan of the savior, I was still laughing at them secretly. However, after I observed your records of your activities in this world, I started to become interested in you. .

I am trapped in this world and want to return to reality. You are the opposite of me. You are just an insignificant little person in reality. You don't like to intersect with other people, and you have no sense of existence. But in the virtual world, you seem to be reborn, really radiating the brilliance of the ‘savior’! "

"Is this a compliment to me?" Lin Chi sighed.

"Unlike me, this world is your stage. I know your desire is to turn into a data life and survive in a virtual world. So-do you want to be here and reach eternity with me?"

"What a joke, my body is still lying in the game cabin." Lin Chi immediately shook his head.

In any case, this sudden invitation was a bit too hasty. However, the girl’s proposal is indeed very attractive:

"Don't worry about physical problems. Now your consciousness has been integrated into a quantum computer. Since this device can give me a second life, I won't mind having one more person."

"Did you feel it? You are not the one you are in reality at this moment. Your thinking and consciousness are all simulated by computers, but there is no fault in it. You have no deviation in your sense of the "I". Now You are still you, not a copy of you, or someone else."

"Speaking of people." Lin Chi frowned.

The girl turned around, brought her face that was a little bit green to Lin Chi, and stroked the face of his avatar with her fingertips:

"I am very interested in you, and I know what you want to do. If you need it... I can keep the current you forever, and your consciousness will leave that flesh and blood and live forever in this world."

"Come on, embrace eternal life with me, Lin Chi."
