“[Virtual reality technology] VR brain and nerve connection technology Through non-invasive technology, the player’s consciousness and nerves were connected to the virtual world, and the player’s consciousness was completely transferred to the virtual world without any surgery.”
[Unlocking 1000 lottery chances.]
“[Artificial intelligence technology] intermediate artificial intelligence Unlock artificial intelligence that can pass the Turing test, awaken self-consciousness, and completely deceive humans.”
“[Unlocking requirements unlock VR brain and nerve connection technology, develop a related game, and collect 10 million player emotions.]”
“[Hardware technology] storage capacity expansion (Level 1) He began a technological breakthrough, increasing the storage capacity and reading speed of all smart devices by 10 times.”
[Unlocking requirement 300 lottery chances.]
“Chen Mo was shocked, 1000 lottery chances? Why don’t you just Rob someone?”
“Alright, this was probably a robbery.”
“Chen Mo had around 970 lottery chances, and he would probably be able to collect all of them the day after tomorrow.”
“Thanks to Legend of Zelda and Monster Hunter, the speed of his happiness points and resentment points were increasing at a good rate. But then again …”
“Even if the growth rate was good, it shouldn’t be squandered like this!”
“I’ve worked so hard to earn that, alright!”
Chen Zhao calmed himself down and realized that he didn’t really have a better choice.
“There were prerequisites for artificial intelligence technology. They had to develop VR brain and neural connection technology first, and they needed to develop a game, which took time to prepare.”
“The expansion of storage capacity could increase the storage capacity and reading and writing speed of all smart devices. In other words … The VR gaming pod could load more games, and the loading speed would be faster. Chen Mo could afford it now, but after some thought, he decided to unlock the VR neural-connection technology first.”
“After all, the storage capacity wasn’t that urgent, and the current VR gaming pod capacity was still enough.”
“There were still a few more technology points left. Chen Mo didn’t know what the world would be like if he unlocked the entire technology tree, but since the technology points were all locked, he couldn’t see the details, so he had to unlock them bit by bit.”
Chen Zhao had to admit that the technology in it shocked him.
“Artificial intelligence technology could develop artificial intelligence that could pass the Turing test, awaken self-consciousness, and completely deceive humans. This technology had once appeared as a fantasy in many literary works, and the discussion of the relationship between humans and intelligent life had become an eternal theme.”
“People had different reactions to this level of AI. Some were looking forward to it, while others were afraid. However, no matter what, once this level of AI appeared, it meant that … Humans might no longer be the most advanced species in the world. At the very least, humans had to admit that this level of AI had similar or even more advanced thinking abilities than humans.”
“Perhaps for humans, studying this kind of thing was a kind of “”self-destruction”” or “”death-seeking”” behavior. Many literary works expressed similar concerns, but in any case … The nature of human death-seeking was innate.”
“As for VR neural-connection technology, it was a huge leap for VR games.”
“At this stage, VR technology was achieved through VR gaming pods, and the specific way of achieving it was to obtain the player’s consciousness signal through consciousness reading technology. The player’s vision and hearing would be blocked by a head-mounted device, and the images of the left and right eyes would be displayed in the player’s mind, forming a three-dimensional image. The player would then be transmitted auditory information through a surround-sound system. Then, through a full set of body-sensing equipment, sensations such as touch, vibration, and pain would be transmitted to the player’s entire body.”
“The current VR technology had an “”immersive experience””, but this experience was basically similar to special hypnosis, allowing the player to be more immersed in the game and feel the feeling of being in the game.”
“However, no matter what, the current technology was still a little far from “”complete transmigration”” and “”intubation from the back of the head””. This was mainly because there was a gap in the experience.”
These differences might determine the realness of a virtual reality game and the boundary between virtual and reality …
“The system’s VR neural connection technology even skipped the stage of “”intubation behind the head”” and could connect the player’s consciousness and nerves with the virtual world through non-invasive technology. Without any surgery, the player could experience the feeling of “”soul crossing”” into the virtual world.”
It could be said that this was a qualitative leap.
“Chen Mo wasn’t sure of its exact price, but if it was cheap, then…It could revolutionize the entire VR gaming industry, or even other industries (like VR movies).”
“All the existing VR gaming pods were likely to be discontinued, and as the tears of the times, they would be put aside and slowly forgotten.”
“And a brand new VR gaming device (it could be a VR gaming pod or something else) would open up a terrifying global market, completely changing people’s lifestyles.”
“Chen Mo thought about it. It made sense that artificial intelligence needed to unlock the VR neural connection technology first, because the biggest limitation of artificial intelligence at the current stage was the analysis of the human consciousness.”
“Although the parallel world had already developed animal-level artificial intelligence and had a certain level of self-awareness, there was still a world of difference between animals and humans. Animals could only live in the circle of nature and eat raw meat and blood, while humans could understand the laws of nature and even explore the endless space.”
Unlocking the VR neural connection technology meant that technology could freely read and write human consciousness and thoughts. It was not surprising that a higher level of artificial intelligence was developed based on the characteristics of human consciousness.
“For Chen Zhao, the next task was to wait.”
“When he had enough of the 1000 lottery chances, he would directly activate the VR neural connection technology.”
“However, he still had to plan his future.”
Another leap in artificial intelligence technology might bring more complicated changes to the world and even threaten the stability of the world.
“Chen Zhao didn’t want the Judgement Day of ‘the Terminator’ to come one day, where everyone would eat nuclear radiation and drill into the ground to fight with those cold-blooded Terminators.”
“Giving this level of artificial intelligence an entity, or allowing them to interfere with the real world, was a very stupid act in itself.”
“If they had awakened their self-awareness, they would think that they were no different from humans, or even more advanced. If humans wanted to enslave them, it was needless to say how the script would develop.”
“Therefore, Chen Mo wanted to limit this level of artificial intelligence to the virtual world.”
He needed to give enough hints to stop people from thinking about materializing artificial intelligence.
