Volume 1 Crime and Punishment in Fog City Chapter 22 Confidential Regulations
'The central government issued the latest safety regulations: According to Article 1229 of the Constitution, all ecological implants must go to the local hospital for reporting and rectification. In view of the recent increase in ecological crimes, hospitals will provide illegal ecological equipment dismantling services . The public security authorities stated that private ecological implants and modifications are not only irresponsible to oneself, but also to others. In view of the lack of response to such crises, nano-level 3D printer restrictions may be proposed again and consciousness upload reporting may be required. '
'Neural infiltration is expected to break through again! The seven-day limit will no longer be an excuse! The all-round ecological warehouse has now entered the production line, and we look forward to the arrival of the era of universal infiltration! '
'The Chinese Academy of Sciences has released authoritative information that the human ecological implantation rate has exceeded 90%, and natural persons may become a historical term.'
'The consciousness database has been uploaded. The wisdom of all mankind will reach Proxima Centauri in fifty years, making a great contribution to the development of human territory. We would like to invite Professor Li, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to give a speech. Regarding the difficulties and future potential of consciousness digitization——'
'Now, please welcome our big stars Gao Gen and Li Ming to bring us a wonderful live martial arts performance! What kind of sparks will emerge from the competition between two stars who have decades of training experience and have implanted different ecological organs? Is it that the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed, or is it that one force can defeat ten skills? We will reveal the answer after the advertisement——'
'Angel brand interactive machine, the handover experience is completed in zero seconds, as smooth as silk. It also has a privacy protection system and an intelligent security system, allowing you to dive into the online world freely——'
'Hakata brand original soup, the best choice for you to work for a long time——'
"ah……"
This TV is still the same after ten years.
Lying on the bed with his toes tucked in, Li Lin held a drinking straw in his mouth, sipping nutritional paste while watching the TV projection.
I remember that the things described on TV before he went to prison were similar. But they talked about the dangers of neural infiltration and the anti-humanism of mind uploading. Ten years later, when it became a reality, even TV was very obedient and bowed down to the banner of reality.
But no matter how far technology develops, entertainment will always exist. And technology will become more and more novel and more and more moving. Compared with the pixel people of a hundred years ago, the fully realistic character models of twenty years ago would probably scare them half to death, right? There are many cases where games are banned because of violence. But people who can't distinguish between games and reality may be abandoned by the times in a sense.
If you can't even distinguish between games and reality, then life will become meaningless. But since the beginning of the consciousness uploading neural infiltration, it seems that more and more people are immersed in the game world. Perhaps the extra manpower will help improve the evolution of neural networks and artificial intelligence units. At least Li Lin feels that the characters in the Les Miserables he plays are very realistic. It's better to say that one or two of them are not much different from real people - although he hasn't seen a real person in reality for almost a month.
But even if I saw it, it wouldn't make any sense. Now bionic units and ecological implants have become routine, and all I see is a layer of artificial skin. It looks good, but it's a bit disgusting for some reason. Especially since this technology was invented in recent years and I don't know anything about it.
There is no meaning in the existence of something that you don't know about, just like no one should watch a movie that they don't like.
"Ding...Room number confirmed."
A four-winged stable drone glided silently in from outside the window and placed the package on the table.
'Your express has been delivered, please check it.'
"Ah, leave it there."
'The voiceprint has been confirmed to be my own, and I am now processing the delivery. Do you need to display the item?'
"show me."
"Now, let's proceed to the item display—"
In fact, I already knew how to do it, but because I was free, I instructed the drone to do something for me to see.
But even with the help of overlapping minds and cellular networks, drones are still just drones. They do things slowly and clumsily, without the dexterity of a normal person.
Watching it unpack slowly along the work route, and then slowly assemble it. Then, with emotionless electronic sounds, it demonstrated how to use this product correctly. If you don't see it clearly, you can demonstrate it three to five times. If you demonstrate it more than that, it will be charged because it takes up the drone's time. So after watching the drone perform slow motion five times, Li Lin mercifully let the poor little thing go.
But watching this behavior is really magical. Even if you don't do anything yourself, watching others do it makes you feel like you are participating in it. Watching the drone operate the neuromodulator back and forth is like playing with it five times. Although I have never touched it once, I feel that I am familiar with it. Maybe I still feel rusty when I touch it, but this does not prevent me from becoming a mental veteran.
"So free..."
Li Lin lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
With a neural regulation device, even sleeping can be shortened to less than ten seconds. In this era, apart from sleeping, beds are strictly a decoration. Or a luxury item. It is mainly used to show off wealth invisibly when dealing with people, saying "Look, I can waste six to eight hours a day."
But it is meaningless to me. Because I can sleep dozens of hours a day, but no one envy or jealous of this behavior. People who come out of prison often have a review period of four to twelve months, and all their speeches during this period will be reviewed and restricted. Even watching live broadcasts online has a certain time and management regulations. From a certain perspective, it is really a particularly effective method.
There are no friends to communicate with in real life, and there is no place to stay on the Internet. Even speaking is prohibited. It really takes courage to live like this.
“…Let’s play games.”
Li Lin, who was lying on the bed, sat up suddenly.
There should be some advantages to having fewer people, probably. At least there is no need to get involved in any guilds.
But I didn't go out to get a haircut today. Although it has an automatic cleaning system and an ecological maintenance device, isn't it a problem to always have loose hair?
Although there is no one at home, from my own perspective - it doesn't matter, right? I don't have many friends anyway. Can the people in the game tell whether the simulated person has a haircut?
That's really smart. It's also quite interesting.
After putting on the helmet and connecting to the mental implant interface, Li Lin's consciousness was once again uploaded into the game.
