The ray of the sky is gradually receding. The sun ’s last line of golden awns before the setting sun swept diagonally into the cave where Hao Ren and Nolan temporarily hid, and everything in the cave was plated with mottled and pale golden light. . Nolan leaned back on the huge tire of the mountain bike, half of his body was bathed in the sunset, and half of his body was hidden in the darkness. She exhaled: "When did you start talking about it ... I can't remember when I first realized that the world is not right, probably thousands of years ago? It may be earlier. The earliest picture in my memory is Following a family vacation in the countryside in the southern hemisphere, and then waking up somehow, I became a warehouse clerk of a company ... It is meaningless to trace these long-term things, anyway, it is just the repeated in chaos experience. Sometimes I will die in an accident. After the resurrection, I will find that the world has completely changed. Sometimes, things like today will happen. Without death, the whole world will suddenly change. In a blink of an eye, I will have a new identity and New teammates. I do n’t even know if the time lapse in my feelings is true-maybe it ’s just what happened a few hours ago, and the starting point of all the world is a few hours ago ... but it ’s nothing. Meaning. "
Hao Ren listened quietly. There were too many questions in his mind, but he could n’t sort out a sequence. What did he simply think of and ask: "Is there any regularity in the reset of the world?"
"No pattern," Nolan shook his head. "Sometimes it resets every few decades, sometimes it changes within a few years. The shortest reset cycle in my memory is two years, and the longest one For almost two centuries-I died twice during that period, and when I woke up, I found that the world stage continued, but my identity changed. At that time, I was surprised, and I naively thought that this reincarnation has finally stabilized. , The result was the reset on the afternoon of the second resurrection. "
Hao Ren nodded, it seems that this world does not use Nolan ’s death as a restart switch. If a certain stabilization time of the world is too long, Nolan ’s reincarnation during the period will become a resurrection of changing his identity. It's like a trumpet after a game character went offline and landed elsewhere. In this way, the girl in front of her is special, but it should not be the cause and effect of this chaotic world.
"Every time after resetting, all people and things in this world will get a new identity and 'setting', interpersonal relations, international relations, world situation, culture, religion, and even technological models will change," promise Lan looked at Hao Ren and fell into thinking, thinking that it was the first time that the person who experienced the "wake-up" was confused, so he explained it casually, "I also studied the map and found that the topography of the entire world has also changed, and sometimes there will be good on the planet. Several continents, sometimes only one mother continent. There are also changes in plants and animals, but the changes are not too large, always those species are randomly matched, at most, there are changes in the distribution area ... but say you You should n’t understand it either. This is the first time you have retained memory, and you should not have accumulated much knowledge yet. "
Nolan has experienced thousands of years of reincarnation. The amount of knowledge she has accumulated is amazing. As an expert in any field, I am afraid that it is not a problem. Therefore, it is normal to talk about ecology. When she was in the Grey Fox Mercenary Corps, she was so reticent only because she couldn't find an object to talk about, and now it is clear that she regards Hao Ren as a companion.
Hao Ren shook his head: "It's okay, I understand a little bit about the ecological issues. If you say it like this, the world is a bit like a sandbox game? Let's assume there is a director behind this Or the program is controlling everything, and it mobilizes some materials from a material library every time to generate a 'world'? "
"You inferred from the animal and plant morphology I just mentioned?" Nolan looked at the Hao Ren a little unexpectedly. "I didn't expect you to be involved in a wide range of things. You are right. I thought so too. , This world really looks like a program that constantly generates maps ... but even if these are really useless, we ca n’t control them. "
Hao Ren did not hear what Nolan said in the last sentence, because he was thinking about some deeper issues that jumped out of this worldview. He is convinced that he is currently in Plane of Dreams, which means that there is a 100% real world outside the "Doom" planet. He thought of Heaton ’s diary and Ulanov ’s epiphany before he died. If this world is virtual Or false ... So where is its interface with the real world? Since Heaton and Ulanov can suddenly realize the illusion of the world, it means that this virtual world is not perfect, and there must be some violation!
"Population!" Hao Ren suddenly raised his head and looked at Nolan. "Are there any changes in the population after each reset of this world?"
Nolan is puzzled: "Population? Does it matter?"
"Hitton once said that this world is fake, and Ulanov said something similar when he died," Hao Ren explained. "If the world is fake, then you think the people in the world are Really? "
Nolan ’s eyes widened slightly: "Do you suspect that other humans in the world are NPCs?"
"No, I think they are all true," Hao Ren waved his hand. "That's why I asked you about population issues. According to your situation, you will be resurrected after death, which shows that this world's' There is no "cache" function in the mechanism, and every real human will appear as a new identity in other parts of the world immediately after death. So if all people in this world are real, then the population reset every time the world should not It will change. With the development of the world, human life and death will change, and the total population will not change. But if the total population of the world is different every time, it means that at least a part of humans are NPCs. The number of real humans should depend on The minimum population in a certain reset cycle in this world. "
Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "Are you really experiencing 'reset' for the first time?"
"Why suddenly ask this?"
"You have considered these questions very deeply, and obviously you have considered them in a very calm and thoughtful way," Nolan looked at Hao Ren's eyes with suspicion, "I didn't think so deeply in the first few rounds At that time, I just wanted to live a little longer-but you seem to feel that it does n’t matter. "
There is still a half sentence left in her heart: this attitude of analysis is like an outsider.
Hao Ren's forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and he said the girl's feeling was really keen and terrible. He smiled and diverted Nolan's attention: "Cough, this is not important, you should be my natural nervousness. If it is not possible, you will continue to be my neuropathy ..."
Nolan: "... I haven't really thought about the demographic problem you mentioned, but your ideas are very novel and reasonable. I haven't specifically paid attention to this demographic problem, but I have seen a few occasionally before. According to the report of the second census, I think the number of people in the world in each reset cycle should not change much ... Maybe they are completely equal. Maybe the world is very large, there are many people, and the census can never be accurate. As long as the 'program' behind this world moves a little bit, it will make humans unaware of the fact that the world's population is constant. "
At the end, she twitched her lips to reveal a mocking smile: "And every time this world lasts only a few years or decades, time is simply not enough for people to find anything unusual."
Hao Ren frowned: "So humans in this world should all be real ... just thrown into a constantly refreshing sandbox stage?"
At this time, he was really a little bit collapsed. He realized that his previous exploration and wandering in this world had no meaning at all for a long time. The truth of this world was hidden under a layer of grotesque foam. The so-called The Nanomachine Group, North Tower Ring Tower and World War turned out to be just a stage play. Thinking of this, he laughed and laughed at himself: "Huh ... I'm still full of blood trying to understand whether the runaway of the nanocomputer cluster 65 years ago is the key problem. As a result, let's talk about the key for a long time. It is not even the problem- —Ya ’s pressure never happened ... ”
"No," Nolan interrupted him suddenly. "I'm afraid this incident is really strange."
Hao Ren: "Ah?"
"In recent resets, a similar trend has appeared in the direction of the world," Nolan said with a serious face. "No matter what the setting of the world started, it will eventually evolve into a global war, a Weapons are out of control, a round of the end of the world. The last time was that the nanocomputer cluster was out of control, the last time was the global nuclear bomb out of control, and before that, satellite weapons were tampered with by AI ... The script is slightly different, but the final process is almost exactly the same-the entire world Towards extinction. "
(Yesterday afternoon, there was a strong wind and hail, the community and the surrounding area were powered off, and it has not been restored yet ... This chapter was uploaded using a notebook + mobile phone hotspot, and the last point of the charging treasure is also exhausted. If it does n’t recover tomorrow ... then it ’s all right.)
