Chapter 157 Mikoshi, Chocolate, And Vanilla
Guessing that there is still a little time before the new task, Chen Lu is going to take this opportunity to help Lucy and the Academy of Sciences solve the problem of Mikoto first.
Mikoshi, that is, the spoils that were obtained from the Arasaka Tower.
In the cyber world, Mikoshi is a machine built by the Arasaka Group to achieve digital immortality.
People's consciousness can be uploaded and backed up, and then downloaded to the chip.
As long as you find a suitable carrier, you can install the chip in the other party's brain-computer interface, and use your own consciousness to seize the other party's consciousness.
Thereby achieving spiritual immortality.
After this evil thing was brought back, it was handed over to the information department for processing. Under the leadership of Lucy, it is trying to crack and transform the gods.
As for what it has been transformed into, the outside world is not clear.
After all, it is the top science and technology in 2077. The research difficulty of Creation Information Department is not much easier than the study of anti-gravity by the Academy of Sciences.
Academy of Sciences, Department of Information Technology.
Chen Lu and Ying Ruizhao walked into the gate led by a technician.
In the clean and tidy hall, the only sound is the clack of keyboards.
This is the pinnacle of computer technology in Yan Kingdom.
Hundreds of top programmers and experts are engaged in research work here.
There are two, maybe even three, screens on the table in front of everyone.
Countless codes flew over it.
Unlike national security and network surveillance, the Ministry of Information Technology is not responsible for monitoring the domestic network situation, and it is the task of the confrontation department to defend against hackers and the like.
They are mainly engaged in computer research.
"Cough, Tao Lao, long time no see."
In the corner of the hall, Chen Lu saw Tao Chenglin who was working at his desk.
There are several thick stacks of documents on the old man's desk.
There were several experts from the Academy of Sciences beside them, all frowning as they looked at the report in their hands.
Chen Lu vaguely remembered that they were the big men of neurology and medicine.
"Oh! Here we come!"
"I'm too busy here, and I've encountered a little trouble recently.
"It's been a long time since I went to the East China Sea Fleet. How are you all? I heard that there is a new ship girl from the White Eagle family?"
Seeing a few people, Tao Chenglin hurriedly smiled and stood up.
"I'm fine."
Chen Lu shook hands with the old man and exchanged a few casual words.
Then I looked at the experts at the table with some doubts.
"Old Tao, what are you doing here?"
Tao Chenglin is an expert in materials science and nuclear physics.
Although he also has some accomplishments in computers, he is limited to using daily work software and doing his own work.
Sitting here typing code with a group of programmers, how strange it looks.
"Don't talk about it, the information department has encountered some outrageous problems recently, and I, the dean, will definitely not be able to escape."
"In addition to programmers, experts in human neurology, psychology, and artificial intelligence have all come."
Tao Lao pushed a report in front of him.
"Report on the 16th Mikoto Experiment of the Academy of Sciences..."
Chen Lu took the report and read it.
"A total of 18 supporters were recruited for this experiment, and the experiment time was 2 hours and 15 minutes..."
"After the consciousness is uploaded to Mikoto, all body functions of all people remain normal, and there is no need for life support equipment
What exactly is human consciousness has been debated in the academic circle for a long time.
But for Mikoshi, once the consciousness is uploaded, the whole person enters a vegetative state.
There is a heartbeat, a pulse, and breathing, but it will not respond to external stimuli.
If the experiment time is too long, it is necessary to ingest Yinglian by dripping and other methods.
"After the experiment, all 18 volunteers showed varying degrees of hyperactivity and cognitive impairment."
"I can't seem to distinguish real life from my mikoshi's dreams?!"
The more Chen Lu read, the more puzzled he became.
"yes."
Tao Chenglin nodded.
"After the experiment, the volunteers all developed nervous trance and symptoms similar to paranoia."
"Someone insists that he is the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and that he has an armored army of one million under his command. Just wait for his order, and directly flatten the Qing army with a torrent of steel."
"There are also volunteers who think they are superheroes like Batman and Spiderman. They customize a cosplay suit and jump directly from the third floor. They fall very badly."
"
"The most outrageous insisted that his wife was Misaka Mikoto, and almost divorced his wife after returning home."
"Is this a daydream?! What did they see in the shrine?!"
Chen Lu's expression twisted.
The volunteers of the Academy of Sciences were all carefully selected. At the very least, there were no mental illnesses before the experiment.
In just two hours, it made people suffer from paranoia?!
"we do not know."
Tao Chenglin spread his hands.
"After the experiment, all the people looked in a trance, which is probably the law.
"After they wake up, they don't remember what happened before, they only enter the laboratory and take the impression of the consciousness uploading device.
"The memory in Mikoshi is a blank space for them."
Fortunately, it's just a temporary amnesia, not a permanent mental disorder.
Chen Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
Although doing research on neurology will inevitably cause a little harm to the volunteers' bodies,
But it's too pitiful to be turned into a lunatic without knowing anything.
"So, now it's my turn to perform again?"
"This matter doesn't seem troublesome, how about I help you solve it?"
The voice just fell.
Tao Chenglin flatly refused.
"No! I can't explain to the center if I get you into trouble."
The two sisters were also surprised.
"Commander, it's not good for you to do it yourself? How about I come?"
Ying Rui pulled Chen Lu's clothes and said.
"No, no, no... I just heard that you encountered some setbacks in your research on mikoshi, and I just came here, and it just so happens that I have some free time recently.
"Although I don't know much about the technical details, I can roughly understand where the problem is.
Chen Lu stretched out two fingers.
"First, we don't know what happened after the experimenter's consciousness was linked with Mikoshi."
"Second, after uploading the consciousness, there will be short-term symptoms of paranoia."
Tao Chenglin nodded.
If you don't understand what's going on in the mikoshi, even if you want to improve this equipment, you can't start.
"So we can use this."
Chen Lu took out a chip the size of a bank card.
Neural link device.
It can allow three people to enter a state of synaesthesia and share each other's memories and consciousness.
"After I enter Mikoshi, as long as there is a sober person outside, she can clearly see what happened to me inside from a third perspective."
"Even if there is a problem, the connection can be interrupted in time."
"And my mental power is strong enough, so it shouldn't cause such a serious mental shock.
Several bigwigs from the Academy of Sciences were silent.
Mikoshi went through more than a dozen experiments before and after, and all the volunteers had a situation similar to paranoia.
The Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Information still don't know what's going on inside.
I can't figure out how to improve this thing in the next step.
It is indeed a good solution to let the three of them enter the Mikoto in a synaesthesia state, and they can monitor the situation inside in real time.
But entering a state of synaesthesia requires three people to trust each other unconditionally.
Either it was the triplet pilot of Storm Scarlet, or it was Chen Lu and his companions in front of him.
a long time.
Tao Chenglin just stood up.
"Come on, let's talk to Lucy."
Walk through the heavily guarded underground passage.
Chen Lu came to the experimental area of the Ministry of Information located on the 5th floor underground.
It was a wide circular room.
A black-red cube with a length and width of about 3 meters and a height of more than 10 meters stands in the center of the room.
There are 2 rows neatly placed next to it, with a total of 20 low-temperature dormant chambers.
Mikoto.
The Academy of Sciences patched up its damaged parts, and then placed it underground, to the specifications of a nuclear weapon.
This thing is very dangerous.
Once human beings are allowed to step into the ladder of eternal life, it is likely to bring many unexpected consequences.
in the corner of the room.
It is a semi-circular desk with some Coke cans and reports stacked randomly on it.
Wearing tights and a coat, the girl with pink-white hair is leaning on a chair while manipulating more than ten holographic interfaces to perform calculations.
Mikoshi administrator, Lucy.
As the sole owner of the crow micro-controller, her level of computer skills far exceeds that of any programmer in the world.
"Wow, rare visitor!"
Seeing Chen Lu, Lucy immediately waved off the holographic interface, got up and greeted him.
After hearing the plan to enter Mikoshi, the short-haired girl laughed.
"Sure enough, you are still you, you can always think of something different!"
"How safe do you think this is?"
Tao Chenglin frowned first and asked.
"No problem, I'll come and have a cold with him."
Lucy said.
"I can use technical means to interfere with the situation in Shenyu from the outside world. If he encounters any mental shock, I can immediately interrupt the link."
"As long as you can monitor what's happening in the mikoshi in real time, there's basically no risk."
"alright."
After receiving the guarantee from Yan Country's strongest technical expert, Tao Lao hesitated for a moment, then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Medical teams are in place, with heavy doses of sedation and surgical preparations."
Swish Swish Swish——
Within a few minutes, several well-trained medical personnel from Tian ran into the room with the equipment.
"In many previous experiments, about 2% of the volunteers developed strong aggressiveness after the experiment, just in case."
"If you have similar symptoms, we will immediately inject you with a large dose of sedative."
The leading medical captain explained.
Chen Lu's destructive power is unquestionable, everything must be considered from the worst point of view.
"Row."
After everything was ready, Chen Lu handed the neural link device to Lucy.
The two entered a state of synesthesia.
Because I have tried synaesthesia several times at home before, I quickly got used to it.
Lying in a cryogenic hibernation chamber.
Surrounded by steaming mist.
There is an icy cool feeling on the skin.
The staff put a strangely shaped helmet on the head.
After closing his eyes 220, a cold mechanical female voice came from the room.
【Creating Mikoshi link——】
[Simulating consciousness—]
[5,4,3,2,1——)
"0!"
moment.
Chen Lu felt his consciousness being pulled out.
The environment in front of him quickly distorted and deformed.
When he regained his senses, he found himself in a pure black void.
There's nothing around, it's all quiet
I looked down and found that I was a pure consciousness.
No limbs or body.
"This is the initial state of Mikoshi.
Lucy's voice came into the mind, and in the synaesthesia state, the two could communicate in real time.
"So, everyone who comes in turns into a mass of consciousness and then spends two hours in nothingness?"
"It's not going to drive people crazy, is it?"
Chen Lu asked.
"No, logically speaking, the power of spirit in Shenmeili is close to infinity.
"To put it more simply, he almost has the ability to realize his dreams and make his wishes come true."
Lucy answered.
"You try to imagine something, whether it's a person or something, and let it appear in front of your eyes.
"Having said that, it's hard for me to concentrate in this state...
Chen Lu was floating in nothingness, feeling a little restless for no reason.
"Just fantasize about anything, and let me see your mental stability."
Lucy was outside knocking on the table.
"Theoretically speaking, the stronger the mental power of a person, the higher the degree of restoration of fantasies. y
Chen Lu calmed down, and patiently thought of an image in his brain.
It was just a flash of thought, and Chen Lu hadn't had time to conceive it carefully.
Two girls in maid outfits suddenly stood in front of them.
One has black hair and yellow pupils, the other has silver hair and blue pupils, and both of them wear double ponytails.
The most eye-catching thing is the animal ears on their heads and the furry cat tails behind them.
"Owner?"
The black-haired catwoman tilted her head and looked over.
The skin can be broken by blowing bombs, and the expression is vivid.
"this…………
"Is Mikoshi's response so fast? It's really just a thought..."
Chen Lu was dumbfounded.
The Coke that Lucy brought to her mouth stopped immediately.
"Catwoman?!"
"What were you thinking just now? Who are they?"
"Uh....…"
Chen Lu was silent for a long time.
"Chocolate and vanilla?".
