Volume 3 Chapter 221 The Familiar Solar System and Earth
The consciousness is connected to the virtual universe, and the scene in front of the eyes begins to change in a trance.
What was originally in front of me was the scene of the surface of a giant planetary ship.
But everything changed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xu and his companions appeared on a spaceship that was also sailing in the universe.
However, this spaceship looks like just an ordinary passenger ship. Through the window next to it, Lin Xu can still see the familiar beautiful blue planet outside the window, as well as a large number of various space stations built around the planet.
"Is this, the Earth?" Nanzhu next to him recognized the planet at a glance.
After all, for all human races, the human mother planet Earth is a holy place, so the races are very familiar with the appearance of the Earth.
Not to mention the real Earth, which is now in Lin Xu's personal space. Nanzhu has lived there with Lin Xu for a long time, so he is more familiar with the Earth.
So I recognized the Earth in this virtual universe at a glance.
"Could this be the solar system?" Nanzhu guessed.
The next moment, the broadcast from the spacecraft confirmed her guess.
"Interstellar flight GY81197 is about to depart. Please fasten your seat belts. The destination of this flight is the Mars orbit 104 space station, and it is expected to arrive in three hours."
As a result, some passengers in the cabin, who might be taking an interstellar flight for the first time, who were originally standing in front of the portholes taking pictures with their mobile phones, now returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts.
Lin Xu and the others looked at each other and temporarily returned to their seats. Including Asari and Lil, they all fastened their seat belts.
The next moment, the spacecraft began to accelerate rapidly, moving away from the earth at an extremely fast speed and heading towards Mars.
"Are they simulating real humans in the virtual universe? Are these humans just simulated data?" Lu Yao looked at the humans of various shapes in the cabin.
Some people were sitting in their seats playing with their cell phones, while others were clearly entering the universe for the first time and were excitedly looking around at everything. There were even people with children who were trying to comfort their crying children.
"No, these are not simulated, they are real consciousness of intelligent life." Lin Xu, who saw it clearly from a high-dimensional perspective, said.
"Real intelligent life? Where does it come from?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.
"It's the Zerg." Lin Xu replied.
"That kind of intelligent Zerg? Are they pretending to be humans?" Lu Yao looked at all the passengers around her and suddenly felt that each of these passengers must be at least an actor of the best actor level. Their acting skills were too real.
"No, they think they are humans. They no longer have any memory of the Zerg. They were born in this virtual universe and grew up in this virtual universe. They are humans in this virtual universe." Lin Xu replied with a sigh.
“So, the Zerg want to upgrade their dimension by pretending to be humans?” Nanzhu’s eyes widened.
Up to now, people are increasingly inclined to believe that everything the Zerg do is to upgrade their dimension by studying humans.
Although from the perspective of Lin Xu and others, there is absolutely no chance of success in doing so, the Zerg themselves do not know this.
It's like a great online writer who, after reading an online article written by a novice, can tell at a glance that it is 100% going to fail.
But the newcomer feels good about himself, always thinking that what he wrote is a masterpiece that can surpass platinum.
It’s just a pity that this world is made up of matter and it can’t be what you think it will be.
This is the situation now. It's not that the Zerg feel good about themselves and think that their method of upgrading dimensions will definitely succeed and they can achieve the upgrade.
"First, create a fake human race, then observe the various behavioral logic of this race and conduct detailed sampling analysis. Then create a virtual universe, throw intelligent Zerg into it, completely erase all memories of the Zerg, and let them live on the earth and in the solar system like humans, so as to imitate the human's path to dimensional ascension. I have to say, this plan is quite unique." Arisa first praised it.
But in the end, he concluded, "It's a pity that it's actually meaningless."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Insect King should also be in this virtual universe now." Lin Xu looked out of the porthole and saw the moon passing by quickly as the spacecraft flew at high speed.
Speaking of which, Lin Xu hasn't seen the moon for a long time. Even though he is now in a virtual universe, it would be nice to be able to take a look at it.
"Finding the Insect King should be enough to put an end to everything. I just don't know what his identity is in this virtual universe." Nanzhu said after thinking for a while.
"It should be a very important identity, and my guess is correct. He should be the only Zerg in this virtual universe who still retains the self-awareness of the Zerg." Lu Yao followed.
"Well said. So what is his key identity? Where should we find him?" Nanzhu looked at Lu Yao.
"How should I know this?" Lu Yao looked as if to say, "Don't try to pass the blame to me."
At this moment, it was still the broadcast on the spacecraft that caught Lin Xu's attention.
"Your Majesty, the great Human Emperor, will attend the Martian Independence Day celebration in three days and will receive guests from all walks of life."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor signed Human Emperor Order No. 8734209, conferring the title of human hero to the warriors who are about to open up a new galaxy."
For a moment, Lin Xu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue, Lu Yao, and even Arisa, all looked at each other.
There is no need to look for it anymore, but this identity is indeed very important.
"He really is good at arranging an identity for himself." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Human Emperor? Isn't he afraid that his tongue will be blown away by the strong wind?" Nanzhu was almost gritting his teeth.
He is just a bug, yet he dares to proclaim himself the Emperor of Man. Nanzhu and Mu Xiyue now want to grind the Emperor to ashes.
While several people were gritting their teeth here, the passengers on the spacecraft who were entering the universe for the first time, after only the dark background of the universe was left outside the porthole, some of them began to discuss the so-called Human Emperor on the radio.
"Hey, tell me, why does His Majesty the Human Emperor always ask us to be cautious when exploring new galaxies? Obviously, our current technological level is sufficient."
"Who knows? But since His Majesty the Human Emperor said so, there must be a reason for it."
"Then why are we opening up a whole new galaxy this time?"
"How would I know? As I said before, His Majesty the Emperor must have his reasons."
However, Lin Xu and others who were listening knew it very clearly.
You are not allowed to explore new galaxies at will, simply because the virtual universe cannot truly simulate a universe. If it is too far away, it will all be textures, and what will happen if you discover it?
"Doesn't the Insect Emperor know? There have been no emperors in human society for a long time. How can he imitate human society when he creates a Human Emperor who is incompatible with it?" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
"Indeed, but you also have to know that if human society is allowed to develop without the constraints of a Human Emperor, the human society in the virtual universe would probably have been extinct long ago. After all, they are not real humans. Even if the intelligent Zerg brainwash themselves and think they are humans, they are not real humans after all. The Zerg have become accustomed to having a Zerg Emperor." Lu Yao shrugged.
While the two were still discussing, Lin Xu had already stood up.
"Let's go, there's no need to stay here any longer."
"Go find the Insect King?" Nanzhu followed happily.
"That's right."
Just like that, the group disappeared inside the spacecraft without even attracting the attention of the passengers inside.
They were like real humans who had just left the Earth, watching everything in the universe with excitement.
What they don't know is that they are not actually human.
The history of mankind and everything about humanity that they are proud of actually has nothing to do with them.
It's so sad.
On the other side, Lin Xu and his companions crossed the distance between planets in this virtual universe and arrived in the orbit of Mars in the blink of an eye.
Three days later, the Insect King will attend the Martian Celebration here.
So Lin Xu guessed that the Insect King must have arrived on Mars now, but he didn't know where he was.
So after arriving above Mars, Lin Xu waved his hand and a large number of nanorobots poured out, spreading to all parts of Mars, searching for the location of the Insect King.
Of course, these nanorobots are not real nanorobots.
After all, this is a consciousness network, everything is virtual. In a virtual world, how could there be real nanorobots?
So these nanorobots are actually virtual world nanorobots created by Lin Xu’s consciousness.
In the network of consciousness, consciousness can theoretically create everything.
After all, everything is virtual, so why can't Lin Xu create some nanorobots?
However, since Lin Xu can create everything, then the Insect King, who can actually be regarded as the master of this virtual network, is naturally more capable of creating everything.
In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that the Insect King is omnipotent in this virtual universe.
So when Lin Xu found the Insect King, the Insect King also discovered that he had been found.
Then a space channel appeared beside him, and Lin Xu stepped into it.
Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue, Lu Yao and Arisa, even Asari and Lil, followed closely behind.
When they reappeared, the group had arrived in a magnificent hall.
In the empty hall, there was only one person standing there with his back to everyone.
There are countless stars above his head and a holographic projection with the starry sky as the background is under his feet. It looks as if he is standing in the starry sky.
The man noticed the arrival of Lin Xu and others, slowly turned his head, looked at Lin Xu and others and spoke.
"Human."
"Insect King." Lin Xu also spoke at the same time.
"I didn't expect you to come here so soon. I don't have much time left. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask quickly." The Insect King seemed like an old man who was about to die, and his whole body was surrounded by an aura of death.
"I thought you would continue to persevere." Lin Xu was a little surprised.
"It's meaningless. It's doomed to fail. What's the point even if we persist?" The Insect King shook his head and said.
"What do you mean? Have you given up on upgrading?" Nanzhu asked puzzledly.
"This is a wrong road. We originally thought it would be a smooth journey, but unexpectedly, we find now that there is a cliff ahead. We will never succeed, never." The Insect King's face was full of pain.
"When did you find out?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
"Not long ago, shortly after I announced that the experiment was about to succeed, I discovered that the so-called success was nothing but a false illusion. Upgrading dimension, upgrading dimension, hahahaha, difficult, difficult, difficult." The whole Insect King, no, the whole insect laughed as if he had given up on himself.
"Can you tell me where your knowledge of human history comes from?" Lin Xu asked, ignoring his self-abandonment.
"The history of mankind was passed down to me by a great being." When the Insect King mentioned that being, a look of reverence appeared on his face.
But it was immediately replaced by pain, "What a pity, I failed to live up to his expectations."
"What kind of existence is it? Did you get the high-dimensional items that you used to create the virtual universe from him? And what about the underlying protocol method you used to construct the virtual universe?" Arisa on the side asked impatiently without waiting for Lin Xu to continue asking.
"Yes, everything I have was given by that great existence. As for what kind of existence that is, do you think I will tell you?" The Insect King suddenly smiled at Lin Xu and others.
Looking at that smile, Asari subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Lil beside him and hid behind Lin Xu and the others.
However, Lil was still immersed in the joy of finally meeting his idol, the Insect King, and had no idea what was about to happen.
The next moment, the entire virtual universe seemed to move.
It transformed into a terrifying giant beast, as if it wanted to devour Lin Xu and the others.
The starry sky under the feet of several people, which was originally just a holographic projection, turned into a real starry sky, and then turned into a black hole. The huge suction force was about to suck several people in.
At the same time, the Mars that was close at hand smashed towards them heavily, trying to smash Lin Xu and the others into the black hole.
Asari and Lil looked at this scene which seemed like the end of the universe, and both of them became panicked.
However, Lin Xu and his companions remained calm, as if the doomsday scene did not exist.
"You just delayed time just to do this?" Lin Xu looked at the Insect King and asked.
"Yes, it's you. It's all your fault. If you hadn't come, even if this path was the wrong one, the Zerg could still try another one. But because of your arrival, the Zerg has lost the opportunity to choose again, and even the entire Zerg will face complete destruction. Only if you die here can the Zerg have a future again. So, no matter what, you must die here." The Zerg King's face no longer had the crazy look just now, but was instead filled with a cold determination.
There are still a large number of Zerg nests in the entire river system. Although the Zerg King's nest has been destroyed, the remaining nests can still continue the Zerg civilization.
But the prerequisite is that Lin Xu and others must die.
Otherwise, the Zerg will have no future.
Therefore, the Insect King chose to kill Lin Xu and others in the virtual universe at all costs, even if it meant the destruction of the virtual universe.
The experiment has completely failed. If we can use a virtual universe to kill Lin Xu and his companions and win back the future for the Zerg, then everything will be worth it.
It’s a pity that Lin Xu is not that easy to kill.
In reality, while Lin Xu and his companions' consciousness was immersed in the virtual network, Lin Xu's personal space opened, and the Qingfeng headed towards the asteroid surrounded by three stars.
The Zerg no longer had any defense capabilities here and just allowed the Qingfeng to approach.
It was not until the Qingfeng arrived above the asteroid that the automatic artillery on the asteroid began to try to expel the Qingfeng.
The Qingfeng continued to advance under the fire using its shield until it reached a position suitable for airborne landing, and then opened the cabin.
In an instant, more than a thousand Eldar roared "For the glory of mankind!" as they jumped out of the cabin and airdropped directly towards the asteroid.
Rumbling sounds continued to be heard, and one by one, the Eldar teenagers wearing power armor landed heavily on the asteroid.
However, the gravity of asteroids is relatively weak, so they did not create deep holes in the ground.
Immediately, the dormant heavily armored Zerg on the asteroid were activated, and a large number of Zerg rushed towards the Eldar power armor.
The Eldar also roared and rushed towards them, and the two sides started fighting on the surface of the asteroid.
All the upper insect bodies on the asteroid have entered the life support device and their consciousness has joined the virtual universe.
It can be said that there are no higher-level insect bodies on the entire asteroid that can command these lower-level insect bodies to fight.
But these lower-level insects are still fighting tenaciously and fearlessly, which is different from the insects on the fake fairy ship that will collapse if they lose the command of intelligent insects.
I can only say that it is worthy of being the insect body that guards the Insect King.
In this way, the two sides continued to fight, a large number of Zerg were destroyed, and the Eldar were killed from time to time.
But every time an Eldar was killed, a resurrected Eldar would soon appear on the Breeze in the sky, put on power armor again, and rush out to join the battle again.
Moreover, as the number of Eldar deaths increased, their combat experience became richer and richer, and they became more adept at killing insects.
In this way, the huge number of insects were soon pushed back by the undead elves.
The Eldar's power armor penetrated all the way into the asteroid and entered the storage area of the life support device where the upper insect body was placed.
Suddenly, a large number of life-support devices appeared densely in the sight of all the elves.
In the virtual universe, the Insect King gathered all his strength and wanted to kill Lin Xu and his group who were trapped in the virtual universe.
In his opinion, this is the only way to save the Zerg.
It’s a pity that being trapped in the virtual universe was just his wishful thinking.
Lin Xu looked at the increasingly terrifying black hole under his feet, and the Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury, and even the Sun that were falling directly on his head, and slowly shook his head.
"Just think of it as fulfilling a wish before we die. Can you tell us who that so-called great existence is? Is it the Apocalypse clan?" Lin Xu took the opportunity to ask.
Arisa next to her pouted a little in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything because this possibility was indeed very high.
"I will tell you after you die." The Insect King seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he stopped talking nonsense and directly increased the speed of the nine planets in the solar system and smashed towards them.
As for those Zerg in the virtual universe who thought they were human beings, in such a disaster, all of them lost consciousness in the first moment and died completely. The Insect King no longer cared about them.
Only if Lin Xu is killed, and only if Lin Xu and a few others are killed, will everything be worth it.
"You're really being stubborn. I'll ask you hello in person later." Lin Xu sighed, his attempt to get the question failed.
The next moment, Lin Xu and others directly disconnected their consciousness from the consciousness network of the virtual universe, and their consciousness returned directly to reality.
In the virtual universe, the Insect King looked at Lin Xu and others who suddenly disappeared, and his entire body uncontrollably transformed into the form of an insect, while making a terrifying hissing sound that resounded throughout the virtual universe.
In this virtual universe, it is a god that can control everything, but it is only here. Out of here, it is nothing.
However, the next moment, the entire virtual universe began to shake violently.
This made the Insect King, who had been roaring just now, calm down again.
A holographic projection appeared in front of the Insect King, showing the real scene.
He saw a large number of Eldar warriors in power armor rushing into the hall where the upper insect life support device was placed, dropping a small nuclear bomb, and then turning around and leaving without even looking back at the explosion.
Then, accompanied by the rise of small mushroom clouds, the real men who never looked back at the explosions destroyed large numbers of intelligent upper-level insects.
At the same time, it also shakes the existence of the virtual universe.
The scene in front of the Insect King changed, and finally a team of Eldar warriors rushed into a place that the Insect King was extremely familiar with.
After destroying a large number of Guard Zergs, the life-support device of the sleeping Zerg King appeared in front of the power armored warriors.
The Insect King silently watched the scene on the screen. He was omnipotent in the virtual universe and could destroy the world, but now he was powerless to do anything in reality.
It was not until the Eldar warriors opened the lid of the life support device, reached into it, and directly grabbed him out after he had been sleeping for a thousand years.
The Insect King in the virtual universe disappeared instantly.
At the same time, Lin Xu and others have also arrived on the asteroid.
Walking into the asteroid, stepping on the Zerg corpses scattered all over the ground.
Along the way, the elves would excitedly saluted Lin Xu from time to time.
These young Eldar boys are cleaning up their own bodies.
That's right, it's his own corpse.
Some people even died more than once in this battle, leaving behind more than one corpse.
Even if their consciousness was transferred directly into the clones through high-dimensional channels and resurrected, the bodies they left behind still existed.
Therefore, cremating his own body, which had died several times, after the war was a matter of course.
Then we saw that the elves had no respect for the dead in battle. They carried the bodies with missing limbs and threw them into the fire to burn like garbage.
However, they lost themselves, so it can't be said to be disrespectful?
All in all, this matter is very confusing.
Anyway, this is what happened, and Lin Xu is a little confused about the details.
