Chapter 72: The Other Side of Space
Previously at the Chen Group headquarters, Chen She already had a preliminary understanding of this data hard drive.
In short, it is the key to the Naraku Plan and also the entire achievement of the Naraku Plan.
The Naraku Project actually constructs a special space in the virtual world of hash space, and this space has very unique rules.
This principle is like writing a new program on an existing operating system, and this new program can theoretically do a lot of things. It will be constrained by the rules of the system itself to a certain extent, but it can also do many things beyond the system's capabilities.
The Naraku Project has created such a unique virtual space. There are very special rules in this space. Human consciousness can be uploaded in some way, or the consciousness in this space can be transmitted to the human brain in a certain way, overwriting the original consciousness.
Of course, the research results of the Naraku Project are only preliminary, and in fact there are still many problems.
After a person's consciousness is uploaded to the Internet, even if the consciousness on the Internet has all the memories and in most cases will make similar decisions as the original owner, is this consciousness still the original consciousness?
The same is true in reverse. Is the consciousness downloaded from the space of the Naraku Project necessarily the original consciousness itself?
How much information is lost between uploading and downloading, and what changes occur in the two forms of consciousness, these details may have a huge impact.
According to the current situation, the result of the Naraku Project has only completed the transmission of more than 80% of consciousness. The consciousness that was finally created, although on the surface, has characteristics very similar to those of people who have existed in reality, and even ordinary people can hardly tell the difference, but this transmission will still have losses.
This kind of loss is inherently fraught with danger and may trigger a series of uncertain consequences.
Chen She has always felt that the so-called immortality is both an eternal pursuit of people and a terrible curse. When a normal person is completely dominated by the desire for immortality, he is likely to do something very extreme and anti-human.
If this technology is mastered by big chaebols, their top executives can survive forever in this way. Even if they are no longer their original selves and have become an illusory will on the Internet, their destruction of the world will continue.
In short, although the Naraku Project has achieved certain results and realized the transformation of human consciousness into virtual consciousness, this technology is not perfect, and it can even be said that it has many fatal problems.
Chen She originally just wanted to make the Naraku Project disappear from this world forever, but at this time he changed his mind.
If we could use the Naraku Project to try to transfer the consciousness of the sacrificed resistance soldiers into this virtual space, and find a way to prepare mechanical or criminal bodies for them in reality in the future, then could we let them take a look at what the world they sacrificed and fought for will look like in the future?
Chen She actually didn't believe in this kind of immortality, but if he could extend the lives of these resistance fighters who were bound to sacrifice, so that they could see the day of victory, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Of course, to achieve this, Chen She needs to solve many problems.
The most crucial point is how to connect human brain consciousness with the space of the virtual world?
The Fujido Group's approach is to use special equipment that is more sophisticated than the Super Dream Game Cabin to read and write in a very violent way. Regardless of reading or writing, the original consciousness in the brain will be completely killed and then reshaped at the genetic level.
This process is absolutely irreversible and full of risks.
What's more, the special equipment used by the Fujido Group to accomplish all of this has disappeared forever in the base in the wild with the violent explosion.
Although Chen She was the creator, he had never seen the internal structure of this instrument, so naturally he had no way to copy it.
But fortunately, he has a cheat.
Chen She can solve these problems that the Fujido Group has exhausted all its resources but has not been able to completely solve through the special abilities of the creator.
Soon Chen She thought of the name of the second miracle - "Obelisk".
This is a huge stone tablet towering into the sky, and it is just an exit from Chen She's spiritual world. The real connection direction is the special virtual space created by the Naraku Plan in the hash space.
The bridge and medium of communication are the world of time and space as well as the powerful power of synaesthesia.
Previously, when Chen She was modifying the communication module, he discovered that he could use his understanding of space-time particles and the knowledge of synaesthesia obtained from Epsilon to build special connections with the help of the space-time realm, and set up a local area network that was not affected by the hash space among all the shackles and bracelets.
Similarly, space-time broadcasting actually has a similar nature. Although it has a symbiotic relationship with the hash space, it also contains a large number of synaesthesia rules, which are special applications of space-time particles.
Chen She felt that since the special space created by the Naraku Plan existed in the hash space, he, who had the key, could use this special rule to transform this space and connect it with certain terminals in reality and his own consciousness world.
The obelisk, as a miracle, uses the rules of time and space that Chen She cannot currently master or understand to force certain specific results to occur.
For example, the pendulum can show the risks that Chen She is currently facing in various aspects. But how is this risk calculated? What kind of internal rules are there? Chen She has no idea.
A miracle is something that is impossible to happen, which is the unique ability of the Creator.
Similarly, Chen She could not explain how the obelisk built a close connection between the Naraku space, the space-time world and his own world of consciousness. But he did not need an explanation, because this was one of the miracles created by the creator.
Chen She could feel a large number of space-time particles being drawn out. At the same time, the ground began to rumble and tremble, and a huge obelisk rose from the ground.
At the same time, a mysterious connection was established with the Naraku space, and then with the world of time and space.
The powerful force of synaesthesia binds these three together tightly, just like the special relationship between space-time broadcasting and hash space.
"Since the purpose is different and the principles are no longer the same, then this space can no longer be called Naraku Space."
"Let's call it the Other Shore Space. The purpose of its existence is to allow everyone to reach the correct other shore."
Moreover, Chen She no longer needs to worry about how to extract and write consciousness.
Because he himself is a ready-made tool.
He can use space-time particles as a medium to extract a person's consciousness into this special space, or he can forcibly instill the existing consciousness in the space into a certain body, and this body can be a living human or an intelligent machine with powerful computing power.
Of course, an intelligent machine with powerful computing power is a very strict definition. It requires that the machine itself can handle a amount of computing power similar to human intelligence. However, the development of artificial intelligence in the old land is not as fast as Chen She imagined. Similar machines are very rare, and Chen She cannot access them for the time being.
Similarly, this extraction and infusion is also an irreversible process and cannot be repeated.
If Chen She decided to transfer the consciousness of a dying person to this special space, the body would immediately enter a state of brain death and would no longer be able to be written into.
In other words, the same body can only connect to the other world once, but the same consciousness can enter the other world and different bodies in reality multiple times.
This seems somewhat similar to the Naraku Project of the Fujido Group, but the difference is that the consciousness transfer completed by Chen She is much more complete than the Naraku Project.
The Naraku Project can only transfer about 80% of consciousness, and a lot of details are helplessly ignored, but Chen She can transfer 99% or even close to 100% of consciousness. Although it still cannot be said that the two consciousnesses are exactly the same, the integrity of the details has been guaranteed to the greatest extent possible.
Not only that, the biggest change in the other side space after Chen She’s transformation was that it was connected to the world of time and space.
According to Epsilon's known theories, the souls of the deceased can be searched for in the world of time and space.
As the huge obelisk rose from the ground, Epsilon watched with interest and nodded in approval. "Not bad, your second miracle still doesn't have much novelty, but at least your talent as a creator was not wasted."
“Death is always something that is difficult for people to accept, so resurrection from the dead and immortality are the eternal pursuits of mankind.”
"You can resurrect some people who have just died from the time and space world. But I think there is no need to go to such trouble."
"As long as all humans enthusiastically embrace the space-time creatures to change their life forms, then humans can achieve true immortality. Why make it so complicated like you do, taking off your pants to fart?"
Of course, Chen She ignored Epsilon's comments as he did before .
Although Epsilon always likes to give advice like many keyboard warriors, most keyboard warriors are just stupid, while he is just evil.
Keyboard warriors may comment on certain things because they do not understand the inside story, but Epsilon is just the opposite. It is because he knows the inside story too well that he will try every means to lead Chen She astray. In short, just ignore him.
Then Chen She began to use this huge obelisk as a medium to search for the person he wanted in the world of time and space.
Chen She also found it difficult to explain what kind of principle this was, but judging from the example of Epsilon, after a person's consciousness disappears in reality, it will indeed exist in the world of time and space for a period of time.
So to be precise, it was not that Epsilon 's consciousness escaped to the world of time and space, but after he died in reality, because his consciousness was relatively strong, he survived tenaciously in the world of time and space with his powerful synesthesia and corresponding knowledge, and even changed his form, turning himself into some kind of special life attached to the world of time and space.
And now Chen She can also rely on the special space-time connection between himself and these rebels to search for some targets in a targeted manner.
He could feel that his consciousness was wandering in endless darkness, while some specks of light seemed to be attracted by nature, gradually converging towards him relying on the space-time connection between the two.
A moment later, Chen She once again felt a large amount of space-time particles being extracted, and figures began to appear around the obelisk.
These were the resistance fighters who had died in the previous battle. Chen She was not there at the time, so he was unable to see them for the last time.
At this moment, they were all wearing combat uniforms, maintaining the state of the moment before they died in battle. That was the last fragment of their consciousness frozen.
But this is not the end. After a while, a tall and burly figure appeared next to the obelisk.
It was Gao Jingwu, the supreme commander of the resistance army in the Western Continent who had appeared in the news before.
The resistance fighters showed incredible expressions on their faces. They looked at their bodies and then at this strange world, and asked in surprise, "Where is this? I'm still alive?"
It was obvious that at the last moment in their memory, I should have been dead.
Gao Jingwu also had a confused expression on his face because this place was completely unfamiliar to him.
His last memory was of dying under the siege of the corporate coalition army.
He raised his hand and looked at it. He clenched his fist and could still feel his pulse. Everything was exactly the same as if he were still alive, but everything here gave him a very unreal feeling.
Just then, he heard the people around him shout in unison: "Captain!"
Gao Jingwu was stunned for a moment. He looked across and saw a young man with extraordinary temperament coming in front of them.
Chen She looked at everyone and said, "I know everyone has a lot of doubts about the current situation. Please be patient and listen to what I have to say first."
"Yes, you have already sacrificed your lives to complete the cause of the resistance army, but this place is called 'The Other Side', and your consciousness will continue to exist in this illusory space. I will do everything I can to revive your consciousness in the real world."
“In every possible way.”
The various methods mentioned by Chen She are actually nothing more than three types, namely genetics, machinery and synaesthesia. The key is to find a body for these people to live in in reality.
Whether it is using genetic technology to modify the body, using mechanical technology to piece together a war machine, or using the power of synaesthesia to allow these people to survive in the form of half-time and space life, these are all directions that can be tried.
Of course, this promise is just a blank check for now, and it is unlikely that Chen She can give an absolutely perfect solution right away, but Chen She believes that with the power of creators in his hands, this day will not be long.
After hearing what Chen She said, the expressions of the sacrificed resistance soldiers were somewhat complicated.
It was difficult for them to accept the fact that they were dead, but they were also a little grateful for their current state. After all, they were like living in heaven, they could still feel their own existence and think, instead of returning to nothingness like real death.
At the same time, Chen She also promised that he would find a way to help them regain their bodies in reality and complete their unfinished business. This would be a long-cherished wish of theirs.
Gao Jingwu was silent for a moment and then asked, "Can anyone explain to me what is going on? I remember that I was dead, and before I died, I was in the Western Continent. How did I suddenly come here?"
Chen She briefly recounted the matter of the Naraku Project and also revealed a little bit of his special abilities.
The consciousness of these people is now completely under his control. As long as Chen She is willing, he can cut off the connection between these consciousnesses and the space-time world and the obelisk at any time. Moreover, these sacrificed resistance fighters were originally absolutely loyal and trustworthy.
The existence of this world of consciousness cannot be explained by common sense. If Chen She used deception or concealment, he would not only fail to deceive these people, but might also shake the foundation of mutual trust between the two sides.
In this case, it is better to tell them some insignificant secrets. Because these people will be a force that Chen She can absolutely trust in the future.
After hearing what Chen She said, Gao Jingwu fell into a brief silence.
He was somewhat shocked that there was actually a hidden resistance army on the northern continent, which was struggling just like him, and had achieved such fruitful results.
Of course, the so-called fruitful results do not mean how much damage this resistance army has caused to the power of the big capitalists. After all, their size is too small. Compared with the career that Gao Jingwu has achieved on Xida Road, it is still a bit insufficient.
What surprised Gao Jingwu was that this resistance army, which was so weak and located in the northern continent with the harshest environment, was able to achieve such fruitful results and even construct such a bizarre otherworldly space. This was enough to show that Captain Chen She's talent was far superior to his.
Thinking of this, Gao Jingwu said: "Captain Chen She, thank you very much."
"But I'm not too interested in having a real body."
"Birth, aging, illness and death are all destiny. Although I do not believe in destiny, I do not want to continue to exist in this world in an abnormal way after my death."
"Dead is dead, let everything be in the past. The future of the resistance army should be left to young people like you who have ideals, ambitions, and abilities to lead."
"I'm so tired. I want to rest if I can."
Chen She was somewhat surprised at Gao Jingwu's attitude.
Obviously, the activities of the rebels on Xida Road made Gao Jingwu feel more and more confused about the future, and he did not want to continue to exist in this half-dead state after his death. In other words, he did not have such a strong obsession with this world.
This is significantly different from Epsilon.
After Gao Jingwu said this, many other rebel fighters also had similar emotions.
Yes, what is our current state? A wandering ghost or a half-dead monster?
These resistance fighters were originally quite repulsive to the power of synesthesia, as well as those strange space-time creatures and the half-human, half-ghost Space-Time Knights. Now that they were forcibly pulled up after death, they still felt more or less awkward.
Of course, there are also some members who think that as long as they can still feel that they are alive, it is better than disappearing completely, because they still have some unfulfilled wishes.
Chen She knew that at this time he needed to unite the thoughts of these people and give them a clear goal.
Thinking of this, Chen She said, "Isn't it normal to exist in this abnormal world in an abnormal way?"
"The power of the big chaebols is too great. A few people alone cannot accomplish our common goal. You are all the ones with the strongest fighting will. You should not leave the world you have fought so hard for just like that."
"Don't you want to take a look at the world after the big chaebols are overthrown?"
"So I hope you can fight alongside me. You are stranded on the other side because there are still unfinished tasks in this world."
"After all your wishes are fulfilled, I hope you can take a look at the brand new world, and then wave goodbye."
Gao Jinwu looked at Chen She, and many emotions appeared in his eyes, but after a long time he finally nodded.
"Okay, Captain Chen She."
"In that case, I, a lonely ghost, will sacrifice my life to accompany you to complete this almost impossible task."
