There's something wrong with me

Chapter 188 Breakthrough in Virtual Reality
next second.

As Xiao Zhao 'opened his eyes' in his consciousness.

He found himself not in bed, nor at the base, but in a beautiful, scenic place.

Furthermore, the flowers, trees, and shrubs here, mixed with the breeze and moisture, bring a unique fragrance of the wild.

The scent is just a bit too strong.

Xiao Zhao also felt that his vision was a little blurry, and the scene in front of him was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

at the same time.

The people in the laboratory had no idea how Xiao Zhao was feeling.

Conversely, at the moment of 'starting' falling.

They saw a scene of green mountains and clear waters appear on the big screen, and Xiao Zhao looked at the surrounding landscape in amazement.

This interweaving of virtual and reality is absolutely breathtaking for researchers.

"Mr. Zhang...we've achieved it..."

"This is virtual reality technology..."

"So beautiful……"

Everyone stared at the scene on the screen in shock and astonishment.

They never imagined they would actually achieve 'rune technology'!

This will undoubtedly be another major scientific breakthrough for human civilization!
But their joy didn't last long.

"Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao, can you hear me?"

As Lao Liu spoke into the microphone, he told Xiao Zhao to walk around and move around.

Everyone noticed that although Xiao Zhao could hear and carried out the orders, his movements were choppy, like a frame dropping.

What was most distressing was that Xiao Zhao opened his mouth to speak, but they couldn't hear him.

The only thing we can see from the data is that Xiao Zhao said, "My body is hard to control."

"Consciousness transmission is unstable! Station Five, check!"

A researcher quickly drew a conclusion and asked Channel 5 to review it.

But before station number five could even begin its inspection.

Xiao Zhao's condition has worsened again.

His depictions of figures are extremely unstable, and some even appear crooked or tilted.

Furthermore, in terms of physique, he is like an ordinary person and does not exhibit the non-human characteristics of Xiao Zhao's '55 body'.

This discovery was like a bucket of cold water poured on the enthusiastic researchers.

Everyone was in some discomfort, but they didn't slow down their work.

Especially after they saw that Xiao Zhao's vital signs were not affected, they did not disconnect the connection, but quickly collected data, checked for errors, and determined why this situation occurred.

Zhang Feng glanced at it and knew it was due to insufficient rules.

The rest is up to the researchers to correct the data errors.

If we can correct this and enable Xiao Zhao to achieve all the physical abilities in reality, and stabilize the data output on the screen, then we can indirectly deduce some rune laws.

This large-scale calculation also involves complexities related to various disciplines.

It's something I couldn't do alone.

At this very moment, the computing power of computing buildings in several nearby provinces is also tilting towards this side.

Meanwhile, researchers are constantly conducting checks.

"Check instrument number 3..."

"Report...Continuous loss of neuronal signals."

"Link 1567 has abnormal data fluctuations."

"Team leader! Rune number 94 inside the small building has stopped working."

Upon investigation, it was found to be entirely incorrect.

Furthermore, an error in one link leads to more errors, ultimately resulting in an ever-growing number of errors.

The most obvious thing is that the landscape in the picture is missing. Some mountains are even missing a piece in the middle, and the mountaintops stand out of nowhere, as if there is a bug.

Xiao Zhao's condition also fluctuated; his left leg and right arm were missing, and purple blood gushed out, indicating a color distortion.

Conversely, most of the water that had not yet disappeared from the river turned a bright red, and even flowed eerily upwards from the riverbed, stretching straight to the horizon.

Blood-red rain began to fall from the sky.

However, the sun was still in the sky, and there were no blood-red clouds below it; it just started raining abruptly.

This is absolutely bizarre.

A normal person facing this situation, coupled with the immense pain of losing an arm and leg, would probably have to give up.

After all, it's a 100% simulation, and nobody knows if they'll suffer 'brain death' if it continues.

But in the virtual world.

Although Xiao Zhao felt somewhat apprehensive about this 'real feeling,' his eyes remained firm, and he continued to move forward as Lao Liu had instructed.

Even though losing his leg brought him endless sensory pain, he chose to crawl forward, determined to complete the task assigned to him.

He knew that this experiment had involved a great deal of manpower and resources, as well as the hard work of his comrades over the past few months.

He didn't want to let them down.

It is his relentless progress that brings more data feedback.

'How did he endure it?' The staff member who was about to turn off the virtual device hesitated and looked at Lao Liu and General Manager Zhang.

Zhang Feng remained silent, but like a pillar of strength, he leaped forward and stood beside Xiao Zhao, constantly monitoring his vital signs.

Old Liu clenched his fists and looked at the researchers who were collecting data.
"The leaps and changes in civilization are not child's play in a virtual game."

In my view, this is a technological change and optimization, no less significant than a real war!

Xiao Zhao's efforts deserve a fair return from us!

As Lao Liu spoke.

It was as if the highest level of security had been activated.

The focus of everyone's attention became even more intense, and even some researchers who should have been resting rushed over from various floors after hearing the news about the testing room.

Zhang Feng tacitly approved of this matter.

They allowed the security personnel, who were supposed to stop them from coming, to let them pass.

These security personnel are responsible for ensuring that researchers are forced to take rest.

Honestly, Zhang Feng felt that without these security personnel, the researchers at our base would be risking their lives to conduct their research.

Working 24/7 is common.

Some people can only sleep for three hours every two days, and rely on extraordinary drugs to get through the rest of the time.

Such people are actually considered 'children'; you have to watch over them and manage them.

But for these researchers who were focused on their studies, the base was full of extraordinary knowledge they had never seen before.

It's like someone who really loves playing games downloading a game that perfectly matches their interests.

He'll feel bad if you don't let him play.

If you let him play, he can keep playing forever.

That's the situation now; you can't persuade them with kind words.

For the researchers, the knowledge at the base is like the most fun game, their favorite game.

With dozens of experts from various fields and hundreds of researchers flocking to the laboratory.

In that instant, their gazes were all fixed on the shattered virtual world image and on the physically mutilated Xiao Zhao.

They admired Xiao Zhao because most of them knew about virtual reality technology, which had already achieved sensory synchronization.

Although this sense can be reduced, for the purpose of testing, they must know that Xiao Zhao has 100% senses.

Such dedication moved them deeply.

The reality of the virtual world also shocked them.

But now that the important matter was at hand, they turned their attention to Lao Liu and General Manager Zhang, awaiting unified command.

Zhang Feng glanced at them, then looked at Lao Liu, "I need to use more spiritual energy to ensure the vital signs of our soldiers."

"Old Liu, I'm leaving the overall dispatching to you."

"Yes!"

Old Liu spoke concisely, then looked at everyone and said, "Group up as soon as possible according to your respective majors!"

With that, Lao Liu instructed the group leaders next to the instruments to begin selecting and assigning personnel.

At the same time, a large amount of information appeared on the small screens around the area, allowing newcomers to quickly understand what was happening and get them up to speed as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if this large group of people comes without a specific plan, things will only get more and more chaotic.

"Xiao Li! Come to our Group 7, go to machine number 12, and work with Lao Wu."

At this point, the researchers who knew each other had begun to divide the work among themselves and assign specific tasks to particular machines.

(Neurology) There's another operator here. The deputy team leader stepped out, picked up a monitor, and faced the researchers who were continuously arriving at the door.

at the same time.

A dozen or so materials science students from another dormitory area walked together to the nearby equipment and said to the elderly man at the head of the group:

"Professor Sun, we are from the materials science department."

We recently used our break time to review the materials on rune technology and now have a concrete understanding of it.

They volunteered and took the initiative to join the operation of a department.

“Okay…” Teacher Sun nodded as she looked at the data, instructing her assistants to get to their respective jobs as soon as possible based on their 'qualification assessment'.

The qualification assessment is a level recently introduced by Zhang Feng.

It is divided into 'beginner, intermediate, and expert' levels according to the level of literacy.

It is further subdivided into ten smaller levels to ensure that everyone's knowledge is differentiated.

This way, in case of emergencies requiring manpower, they can be allocated as quickly as possible.

In regular research, groups are formed according to their level and discipline. Similarly, in the face of unforeseen circumstances, they can be quickly assigned to research projects appropriate to their level.

With their arrival, and with the addition of some knowledge, there was also a surge in knowledge.

Some issues were quickly identified, leading to some corrections and stabilization of the virtual world.

Although it is still collapsing, the speed is not as fast.

Everyone is working on repairs, and only under stable conditions can we better identify errors.

This is also a pattern for collecting error information.

"Scan with instruments to detect superconducting rune number 1569." A team leader and a group of assistants were next to a large instrument, which displayed the view of the base above.

Many staff members wearing protective suits have entered the building to conduct physical testing.

This is about finding the root cause of the problem, or rather, the 'lesion'.

Hiss~
Then, with slight modifications, the engraving is precise down to the nanometer level.

They used the latest superconducting spiritual energy detector, and also had several portable quantum array carving knives.

These are all specialized tools developed during this period for the purpose of inspecting and repairing the small building.

If any superconducting array deviates from its intended function, they will make on-site modifications.

And then there's this modification that goes inside the machine.

They are the most dangerous people besides Xiao Zhao.

They were wearing upgraded bomb suits.

Furthermore, critical parts such as the head and heart are protected by heavy superconducting components.

Under the operation of the array and ultra-high voltage, such real-time modifications are inherently dangerous.

But it is also effective immediately, accurately identifying errors and correcting them in time before conducting further testing.

"All personnel! Team one! On alert!"

Outside the small building, the base manager above had already begun setting up ground and air cordon lines.

The flight paths here have also been temporarily changed, and personnel from any base are not allowed to access them, so as to prevent the noise and signal fluctuations from helicopters and airplanes from interfering with the quantum detection here.

this moment.

The entire base, both above and below, is working closely together, with everyone doing their best in their most suitable positions.

Under the overall planning of the Science and Technology Planning Department, all departments are operating in an orderly and efficient manner.

About five minutes later, several superconducting components were deployed.

Everyone was excited to see that the virtual world's scenery had been stabilized, and the mountains that had disappeared had reappeared.

swoosh...

What's even more exciting now is that the sound of blood raining down in the virtual world comes from the speakers in the surrounding halls, which belong to the virtual world.

The audio is synchronized!
In particular, Xiao Zhao's body also underwent regular repair, and he was able to stand up from the dry ground!

Moreover, the ground, which was originally dry and did not resemble the scene of rain, became soaked and reddish at a visible speed, giving it a muddy appearance.

despair-

Xiao Zhao's physique also seemed to have improved, exhibiting some of the physical characteristics found in reality, and he dispersed the blood rain on his body.

And after receiving a signal from Zhang Feng, a team leader also picked up the microphone and asked Xiao Zhao, "Team Leader Zhao, Team Leader Zhao, please say a word, or share your feelings."

"Feelings?"

Xiao Zhao's voice came from the surrounding speakers, but when he looked around, he could only see the blood rain scenery and not the crowd, so he said with his back to them, "I feel that the senses are more realistic. This blood rain is a bit cold..."

Wait, there's a fishy smell, the blood rain smells fishy.

On the main screen, Xiao Zhao was facing away from everyone.

But on other screens, you can see Xiao Zhao smelling the blood on his hands.

And so Xiao Zhao finished speaking.

About three seconds later, the team leader next to one of the instruments on the left also raised his hand with a smile and said, "Report! Taste sensory synchronization!"

Shortly after he finished speaking, the vision equipment reported, "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Liu! We found that the vision was not synchronized at first, but it has now been corrected!"

"Report!" At this moment, the old man from the materials and instruments department also stood up and said, "The twelve missing spiritual energy nodes above have been corrected, and the overall connection has been completed!"

"Report……"

People at each instrument station kept getting up, and good news kept coming in.

The most obvious change is that the blood rain in the scene has stopped, and the water in the riverbed has returned to its clear color.

The data department is also fine-tuning the world information to gradually restore the blood-soaked earth to its original state.

This kind of fine-tuning is very slow and requires the cooperation of multiple departments; otherwise, it is impossible for a single department to synchronize the data.

After seeing the virtual world gradually return to normal, Zhang Feng nodded in affirmation amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd:
"In the first round of testing, although there were some minor setbacks along the way, thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, I hereby announce that the virtual reality technology has been a success."

Rune technology, successful.

Wow…

Excited applause erupted throughout the laboratory.

Snap—

Within the virtual world, Xiao Zhao also heard the applause coming from the microphone outside, and for a moment, he clapped with his back to everyone on the main screen.

Seeing this, Lao Zhao couldn't help but chuckle. In this moment of joy, he spoke into the microphone, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, stop clapping to the west. Listen to my command, turn around. General Manager Zhang is to the east."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

……

A person's success in testing is attributed to 'few people and few situations'.

Moreover, that beautiful place has no virtual world creatures, so the workload is very simple.

However, the success of the first round of testing has given people a deeper understanding of virtual reality technology.

And in the next test.

It is entirely for internal use; only special personnel with strong will can participate, and others are not authorized to be tested.

This result is also correct, because in the subsequent 'consciousness deployment', as the scenario becomes more complex and the computing power increases.

Human limb loss and various natural disasters are frequent occurrences.

Only special personnel, ignoring these bizarre circumstances and enduring their injuries, reported the specific data in detail to the researchers outside.

Most people cannot muster such perseverance.

Especially with the introduction of virtual characters, the personality calculations based on larger amounts of data often lead to data conflicts.

Specifically, virtual characters may kill real people without reason, or commit some incomprehensible riots.

The thoughts of virtual characters are chaotic.

There are even instances where a person is chatting with a 'virtual truck driver,' and the next second, the driver says he is a 'chef.'

This is a memory error.

Or perhaps, it suddenly transforms into a twisted monster, launching a fatal attack on the testers.

This kind of twisted test is really unbearable for normal people.

You could die or be attacked by a monster at any moment.

Only special personnel can withstand it, but even after the test, they need to undergo a long period of psychological counseling.

After all, they are 100% sensory.

They were absolutely key contributors to the test, so they definitely deserve the best treatment and care.

Then, all that's left is to correct the virtual world data.

Top scientists are busy.

Six months later, the data was corrected and improved, ensuring compliance and reasonableness in all scenarios.

However, for this to be reasonable, in theory, players cannot be 'fully loaded'.

Although the maximum capacity is 170 million players, there is also world information and compliant virtual characters.

All of this requires a lot of computing power to support it.

Also to ensure perfect operation.

Zhang Feng decided to increase computing power and build more virtual buildings, tentatively setting one building to accommodate up to 1.7 players.

The radiation range of a small building, the distance at which it receives signals, is approximately ten miles in radius.

Because superconductors are inherently conductive, they would be considered top-tier materials in the world of cultivation.

Therefore, there is an added benefit to depicting arrays based on superconductivity.

In addition, there are breakthroughs in modern signal transmission, medical brainwaves, and the superposition of more than one million arrays.

This allows a small building to cover ten miles and form an effective network of awareness coverage.

Zhang Feng also plans to first build a few in his own extraordinary hometown to try it out.

The principle of forming server clusters and base station coverage.

Currently, ten new virtual buildings have been produced within the base.

……

Three days later, at a federal online meeting.

Zhang Feng looked at the members of parliament from all dynasties and said, “I know you are all interested in this technology, but it has been tested internally before, and a lot of the data has been tested and analyzed by professionals.”

We haven't tested it for civilian use yet.

So I decided to first build it in the Land of the Extraordinary as the first virtual pilot project.

Representatives from all parties can come to collect relevant test information.

This lays the groundwork and establishes the foundation for your future virtual homes.

At this point, Zhang Feng looked at the congressman who seemed about to speak but hesitated.

"Meeting adjourned. If there's anything you're unhappy about, you can come and talk to me in person."
