Chapter 697: Uploading consciousness?
As various backgrounds, explanations, and opening credits appeared, the players who had been paying close attention to the closed beta test of "World of Abyss" gave it high praise!
With the brain-computer VR platform of "Starry Sky World" as the foundation , although "Abyss World" shows the horror of full immersion, the acceptance capacity is much stronger.
Umbrella never brags!
But the experts who actually study these areas are completely numb.
"Can you do whatever you want if you have magic power?"
"How do you stay conscious and let your brain rest?"
"soul?"
"The gap is so huge, no wonder it is said that this will be the only immersive game in the next ten years at least..."
“…”
The principles of the VR brain-computer platform are actually quite clear, and many laboratories are also researching brain-computer equipment.
Umbrella and World Corporation jointly launched a VR brain-computer game, and they can understand the principle of that technology.
But now...
I really can't understand!
"How terrifying! If we can really respond to souls individually, then theoretically as long as we are not brain dead, we can upload the 'soul' to the server for backup. Now we don't know how long the soul's lifespan is, and whether it can always leave the body."
"Since Umbrella launched it in the form of a game, its impact must be limited. Otherwise, even they wouldn't be able to handle so many people."
"And it is highly likely that the time spent playing during deep sleep will not consume the 'soul lifespan'..., this..."
“…”
Many people are deeply shocked!
As soon as the "Abyss World" was released, a large number of researchers who paid attention to it expressed various exclamations.
At present, Umbrella is quite active in academic exchanges with scholars. Many people will be given direct answers, and they are also slowly imparting simple basic magic knowledge along with Master Yi.
It’s just that because this is a brand new theory and magic is almost impossible to capture, the digestion rate is still relatively slow at the moment.
Generally speaking, if you encounter any problems with Umbrella, just ask directly, and be nice and don't use moral blackmail...
"Dear Umbrella Corporation, does the immersive technology used in Abyss World involve the soul? Has your company conducted any tests on the lifespan of the soul? Will it be possible to abandon the body and enter the virtual world in the future?"
The first to ask the question was the Da Piaoliang Research Institute. Compared with the previous harsh voices, this time their attitude was as humble as possible.
All kinds of honorifics are used.
This problem suddenly arose, and the onlookers were quite curious.
Umbrella's response made many onlookers burst into laughter on the spot.
"Oh, you can talk properly now, but I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Please recover a little."
This sentence immediately caused a large number of netizens around the world, both at home and abroad, to rush to the official website of the Great Piaoliang Research Institute and line up neatly, "Please restore it."
But faced with such humiliating and teasing words, Da Piaoliang endured it forcefully, and showed no sign of recovering at all, still apologetically smiling.
Are you kidding?
This could involve eternal life!
Even on the Internet, many science bloggers have done some explanation work, which shocked many netizens.
Soul? Backup? Immortality? ! !
How come a game suddenly became such a high-sounding topic!
It can be said that this hot spot suddenly emerged.
In this regard, Umbrella also openly admitted
"You said before that we had obtained technology from foreign civilizations. Now we have revealed our true intentions."
The already stable Umbrella undoubtedly has much less to worry about.
Originally, they didn't need any evidence. They had already put the blame on others after the invasion of the Abyss. Now they might as well say it out loud.
In fact, there would be no problem even if Wang Yi directly announced that Umbrella was actually his own company. Well, it's just that that would definitely cause him all kinds of troubles, so he would never do that. The way it is now is just right.
In the past, Da Piaoliang would have put all kinds of pressure on her and hit her with all kinds of sticks, but now the power of the mecha is still there. Even if there is greed and resentment in her heart, at least she appears to be quite submissive on the surface.
And Umbrella also started a simple explanation
"In fact, we have been slowly popularizing the knowledge of magic. It's just a brand new system. It's still so difficult to capture magic. Most laboratories are making slow progress. As for the research on the soul, we have also conducted some related tests on primates..."
What followed was a large number of research reports and various data.
No animal protection organization has stepped forward to touch this landmine. Let alone animals, even if Umbrella directly uses humans for experiments, what would happen? !
Now everyone is waiting for some explanation that ordinary people can understand.
The final conclusion is
"At present, it is certain that if the body is lost for a long time, the soul will gradually lose its emotions. However, you can also see the weight of our helmets. We have also taken good care of this kind of protection. As long as we make sure to get up and move around during the three meals, we can completely solve this problem. At present, there is no problem staying in the virtual world for up to half a month without interruption. However, because of concerns about the sensory stimulation caused by the death of the game character, the penalty for the death of the game character has a 24-hour disconnection protection period. At the same time, the helmet will monitor the whole process, and will be offline in advance in case of danger..."
First, the safety of immersive helmets is explained.
After that, it is the so-called uploading of consciousness!
"According to our research, theoretically, if we strengthen the protection of the helmet and the server, it is possible to abandon the physical body and upload it completely to the server. We may also start this business in the future. However, as you all know, the difficulty lies here. Moreover, the soul itself has a lifespan of wear and tear. Although it is longer than the physical body, under normal circumstances, it is estimated to be between 150 and 200 years..."
When these words came out, the whole world was shocked!
This means that once Umbrella overcomes this technology, even if the physical body is aging and about to die, they can choose to upload their soul and continue to live!
One hundred and fifty to two hundred years old, what a terrible age!
With the current appearance of the Abyss World, it would be fine even if one lived inside the Abyss World!
This even caused Old Morgan, who was also paying attention, to waver for a moment, but he soon snorted coldly.
"One hundred and fifty to two hundred? I can gain true eternal life by serving the Lord of the Abyss!"
He himself is already over eighty years old. If it weren't for the opportunity from the Lord of the Abyss, he would definitely start thinking of ways to obtain the qualifications.
But after achieving true immortality, what does this kind of uploading without the body matter?
And once you choose to upload, life and death will all depend on Umbrella's decision!
If there is no choice, then there is nothing he can do, but if there are other options, he would rather let it be in the hands of the not-so-smart Lord Enzo!
However, as an old man, he was well aware of the powerful temptation. The organization and authorities that had just come together might very likely fall apart because of it.
Then he chose to hold the meeting without hesitation.
It's time to let you know about our background.
There is an abyss behind us!
A legendary abyss lord!
If we really find an opportunity, we might as well try to kill Umbrella with one blow!
Hehehe~
There is an abyss invasion in Penglai. Can you withstand it?
Can you withstand the nuclear bomb? !
We still have a trump card!
