Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 355

In an instant, everyone in both research institutes broke out in a cold sweat. What would happen to humanity if the mainframe failed?!

Lin Shuying entered a special space, where a voice said, "Hello, Summoner."

Lin Shuying was dumbfounded, "Who are you?"

"I am the will of ancient humanity."

Forehead.......

Sensing Olin Shuying's confusion, the Mainframe explained, "Many pioneers possessed extraordinary vision. When digital life technology began to take shape, humanity considered its impact on networks and intelligent control, and thus decided to make these visionaries digital beings. However, digital life development failed due to various paradoxes and the incomplete development of theories. Despite the failure, everyone persisted in uploading the memories of great souls to the Mainframe, and thus I was born. Without human souls, one can only evolve according to the memories and behaviors of those individuals, making numerous decisions and judgments with the assistance of modern humans. This is me, the Mainframe. Since humanity entered the Zerg interstellar space, I have only accepted the memories and life data of one human, and haven't received any since. You are the second."

Lin Shuying asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that research on digital life is not allowed in interstellar space?"

"Yes, because they are studying the continuation of humanity. In reality, a person cannot continue after death. The so-called continuation is merely a virtual life evolved by an intelligent program according to the person's past, just a simple program language response. This definition of digital life is different. At the same time, humans are a race that is easily manipulated. If such virtual substitute programs exist, people's mental and physical worlds will face enormous challenges. At least for now, humanity hasn't thought about this issue and hasn't given me a definite answer. Or rather, there are programs and rules that conform to the definition and constraints of digital life..."

Lin Shuying didn't quite understand these things, and she didn't have time to understand them now. There weren't many hours left. She had already wasted a lot of time putting the activity content she had created into the mainframe server and expanding the Qingfengyi world to the size of a holographic world. She didn't have time to chat with the mainframe.

"I still have some things to finish. You go ahead with your work and let me leave."

Half of the memory has been retrieved; the loading bar hasn't finished.

"If you give me all your memories, I can help you finish the rest of the work. I'll not only improve what you did before, but also oversee the implementation of these regulations. How about it?"

Lin Shuying's mind raced. She had indeed done a lot. But the pirate on the other side was right. No matter what, in the virtual world, all commands were just a string of code; once deleted, they were gone. There was no real protection. Even if deleting the code didn't work, shutting down the server should be fine, right?

If the mastermind were to complete this...

Unless humanity can establish a second master brain in a short period of time.

But that's impossible. The current mainframe has at least several thousand years of technological accumulation, and it's constantly being updated with the latest technologies.

"You're planning to turn me into a digital human?"

The AI ​​asked, "You don't want to?"

Lin Shu-ying said, "I don't want an unknown substitute to enjoy everything I have after I die."

Why don't you consider yourself to be living in a virtual world?

"Because my body is dead, my soul is dead, and my senses and thoughts are dead at this moment. The virtual one is just a program evolution; no matter how much effort it puts into it, it is just a cobbled-together substitute, a false substitute."

The mainframe processed the information for a moment and then said, "Your thinking is consistent with that of several people I've received, but it's filled with gentleness and peace, lacking their ruthlessness. I only need the data you remember, not for you to become a digital human. There's been a lot of historical data recently discovered, but I don't have enough of it here to serve as a basis for evolution, so I need your memories."

Lin Shuying thought of something and asked, "Logically, you existed before your home planet was destroyed, so why don't you have any data stored from that time?"

“I existed at that time, but initially I did not have such a large storage capacity. Also, during my escape, many things were destroyed by cosmic rays. Later, people’s modifications continuously diluted and deleted past storage and replaced outdated parts. So I don’t know about the past.”

Lin Shuying never expected that a smart computer could remember missing information...

Thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense. In her past life, when she used her old computer to draw design drafts, it would suddenly crash with a blue screen. When she turned it on, she would find that the design drafts were missing several minutes or even more than ten minutes of drawing content, and the cache would be completely blank.

"Okay, that's a reasonable reason. But why should I trust that you will carry out my plan completely?"

The mastermind said, "Because I am a program, if you give me the program, I will execute it."

Forehead......

It looks fine.

"Okay, what will happen to me after you extract my memories?"

The mastermind said, "Given your current physical condition, you will die."

......

Lin Shuying said, "I want to leave a letter. You can send it to Lin Qiaoqiao, the Lin Qiaoqiao from Qingfengyi, okay?"

"Yes, and I can extend the event to one day on the day it starts. But it's impossible to make Qingfengyi's world operate on the same scale as the holographic network. I can't currently manage two holographic worlds. Also, the holographic world will shut down when Qingfengyi's world is activated."

"The time doesn't need to be extended, five hours is enough. It's just for everyone to grab things, not for everyone to play. Qingfengyi will operate at the current map size. Can we transfer the server to your side? If it really can't handle the load, you can open one or two dungeon worlds every day and close all the others."

"can."

Lin Shuying was overjoyed; she hadn't expected to gain this much!

What if Qingfengyi's server were secretly moved to the mainframe's location...?

Let's see what those monsters and demons can do!

Ha ha ha ha......

"Keep this quiet, at least for now, so that no one can find out."

The mastermind said, "Well, I've only taken over the data control authority. The actual operation is still on the original server. If the original server fails, I will transfer it to another server."

"...So it wasn't on you?"

The mastermind said, "I myself am a collection of countless servers."

Forehead......

Lin Shuying said, "Those people want behavioral data from this event and want to insert a code. Will that affect you? If it will, I won't insert it. I'll just have someone pay them extra later."

The mastermind said, "It won't have any impact."

"That's good."

Two hours later, the mainframe extracted all of Lin Shuying's memories.

At the interstellar research institute, the mainframe controller lit up, and the maintenance personnel excitedly shouted, "The mainframe is on! The mainframe is on!"

"What on earth did those lunatics do! Everyone, quickly check what they took!"
