Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 191 Viruses in Programs
Robert and Lisa stood on the rocky outcrop under a gray sky with thick gray clouds gathering on the horizon.

An organ played the tune of "Sneaky Walking," weak and low.

Gradually, the sound of the piano became louder and louder, and the earth seemed to be shaking with it. Later, it turned into a huge shaking. Robert and Robert could not even stand steadily and fell to the ground.

Then, right in front of them, the ground broke open, and the silvery gleaming Incite logo rose from the break.

At this time, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and a voice resounded in the sky:
"Welcome to Mysterious Walk! Welcome to Mysterious Walk!"

Through the jagged bright flashes it was clear that the play castle was forty feet high on the exterior.

Robert stood up and said:

"I really like the view a little bit."

Lisa tried to stabilize herself, pursed her lips and smiled and said:
"Just because it's your voice?"

Robert raised his left arm and looked at his metal sleeve, where the soft colored light was passing smoothly through the hoop on the metal sleeve.

He looked up at the sky and said:
"Mr. Harper, if you are receiving clear pictures and music, please send us a signal."

Alan Harper watched the four large screens in the control room, and watched Robert and Robert from different angles. He was operating a black miniature device to control the direction in his hand.

Colorful clouds rushed into the gray sky, and lights of red, green, blue, yellow and gold appeared on the soft and curly clouds.

Robert smiled toothily and said:
"I think you are receiving our message."

He touched his sleeve,

"Right now, I just want to figure out if I'm in control."

He clicked and tapped gently and entered the concise control program.

The clouds receded, leaving a checkers-like sky of black and white squares.

"Stop it!" Lisa snapped.
"You're making me dizzy."

Robert made the cloud reappear again.

"I'm checking."

He explained, then looked around,

"Where's Ariel? I think she came in with us."

Lisa turned around, observed the overlapping terrain of rocks, and said to herself:

"I also think Ariel came in with us."

"Probably, she changed her mind at the last minute."

Robert rubbed his hands briskly and said,

"That's right, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the game."

Lisa knelt down and scooped up a handful of coarse, gray-white sand.

As the producers of the game, the real secret of Robert's success is the detailed game instructions they entered. Although Lisa knew that she was lying on a bed in Harper's control room, the information received by her brain The incredible and highly detailed images make it easy for her to believe:

I am standing on a bare rock, holding a handful of coarse sand in my hand, and I can really feel the rough texture of these gravel blocks under my fingers.

Just as she was staring at the gravel, a small bug crawled out of the gravel and fell from her hand to the ground.

"Things are still pretty normal."

She said while wiping her hands.

In general, when the game software is faulty or damaged, or when a virus invades the computer memory, some small details in the game, such as the texture of the stone, the scent of the grass, and the colored light reflected on the water, will disappear first.

Robert surveyed the sky.

In the distance, dark gray mountains shrouded in jagged flashes crashed against the earth.

"The timing is still synchronized as well."

They're well aware that another sign that a game is malfunctioning is a disconnect between sound and image, like in a poorly dubbed film where actors' lips keep moving even when no one is speaking.

"We'd better get out of here," he went on,
"It's going to rain soon!"

At the moment when God predicted that the storm was coming, the pouring rain fell on the heads of the two of Robert.

The brothers and sisters quickly took off their jackets and put them on their heads, and quickly ran to some tall rocks to shelter from the rain.

The raindrops were big and heavy, splashing down their plastic clothes and splashing on their flesh. They felt very painful, and when they splashed on the ground, the sand bounced around.

The brother and sister ran into the rocks to shelter from the rain and shook off the rainwater from their clothes.

"This rain is an idea you conceived." Robert said hastily.

"Can you please tell me again why we make this virtual world so uncomfortable?" Lisa asked.

"Because at the time you wanted to see if you could program it to rain."

Robert reminds Lisa.

He raised his left arm and touched his metal sleeve,
"I can stop the rain just by taking these few lines out," he suggested.

"How dare you!" Lisa scolded,

"It took me two weeks to do this procedure alone."

Robert shrugged, looked up at the sky, and dictated:

"Please show the time!"

In an instant, bright red letters 12:04:32 appeared in the sky.

"In less than 30 seconds, the rain will stop."

After he finished speaking, he began to count down the countdown.

However, the heavy rain did not stop, the raindrops were very heavy, and it continued to pour down.

The ground under their feet had turned into a sticky mud, and the mud poured into their shoes, and even the back of their necks had a lot of rain.

Although this is just an illusion, it is just as uncomfortable as if it were real.

Thunder rumbled nearby, and lightning struck the ground behind them.

Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of burning metal, and because of the electric charge in the air, Lisa felt her scalp numb and itchy.

This is not what should appear in the program!

The thunder rumbled again, almost overhead.

The smell of ozone is very pungent and disgusting.

Lisa suddenly grabbed hold of her Robert and dragged him away from the sheltered rock, dragging him to the ground.

At this moment, a thunder and lightning crossed the rock, and with a loud noise, the rock exploded in two, and hot hot sand and stones rained down from the top of their heads, crackling. Fly to their feet.

They both stood up quickly and left the low mountain top.

At this moment, lightning bolts broke out one after another, splitting on the mountain, sand, gravel, and soil rose into the air, turning into a cloud of smoke and dust.

The heavy rain came suddenly, and it stopped suddenly.Just like just now.

Lisa stopped running and bent over, feeling a sharp pain in her hip.

Looking up at the sky, he shouted:
"Mr. Harper, please isolate the last program. This part is definitely not the program we designed to enter."

Alan Harper switched one of the screens and observed a scroll of machine code that suggested the game was in progress, but there was no sign that lightning had struck the two players.

He shook his head, feeling a little bewildered.

"Time?" Robert asked breathlessly, dictating instructions.

12: 07: 55
"Based on eight minutes into the game, we experienced a setback.

God knows what will happen next. "

The two of Robert continued to walk down this narrow path.

Robert kept controlling the game with his metal sleeve, and Lisa watched the situation around her, alert for anomalies.

In virtual reality, game producers have the opportunity to become gods, designing many things in the world.

However, most game producers don't want to bother with the labor.

They only create a square field on which to play.

The player who plays the game can immediately walk to the edge of the playing field and see everything other than himself in the world disappear into a gray nothingness.

The difference between the two of Robert is:

The vast world they created is complete in every direction.

In one of their games, the player walks for days, completely circling the globe, returning to where he started.

Because the Roberts programmed on such a large scale, they were able to scale the game to incredible levels of complexity.

The reason why Incite's game software is successful is that the players of this type of game can really have the real feeling of being on the scene.

Lisa usually enjoys traveling in any virtual reality world she and Robert create, no matter how outlandish and brutal, she always feels safe.

This is their world, and they made it as God made Eden.

They climbed up a small valley and finally stopped.

A deep fissure divides the landscape here from south to north.

There is a very complex bridge spanning the Grand Canyon. It is built with ropes and vines twisted together and swaying gently in the breeze.

Robert and the two exchanged glances and thought to themselves:
This is not how it was originally designed in the program.

They may have been gods in this Garden of Eden, but now they are about to swallow the bitter fruit together with the devil.

The two of Robert stood on the edge of the canyon and looked down, and the earth disappeared into the shadows.

Robert walked to the edge of the canyon, and the soil under his feet was crushed and collapsed into the deep pit.

"I can call this program out," he said calmly, raising his arm.

Lisa shook her head slightly and said:

"If we bring up these new parts of the program, it could trigger the virus and cause it to spread.

We're going to try to get through this. "

Once they reached the bridge, Lisa grabbed Robert's left arm and turned around to examine the metal sleeve.

Then, without saying a word, she lightly tapped the control button on it.

Robert took a look, wondering what Lisa was seeing, and then he realized that some colored lights were still moving smoothly.

If this warning light blinks, it means that the game code has been tampered with.

This happens either because the computer doesn't recognize the new addition to the game, or because the computer is malfunctioning, which means there is a glitch!

"I'll go across the bridge first,"

Lisa interrupted Robert's thoughts and said:

"You wait here until I pass by."

Robert nodded absently.

His fingers tapped on the keyboard, testing the various functions of the metal sleeve.

After checking everything, he looked at the canyon in front of him again, and suddenly had a terrifying thought:

If his machine can't recognize the new part of the game, can it act on the new instructions?
He was about to ask Lisa because she knew more about programming than he did, but Lisa was already on the rickety bridge.

Wanting to distract her, he whispered to her, "Be careful!"

Lisa crossed the bridge slowly, taking every step and landing carefully.

The detail of the bridge is amazing.The bridge was made of thick twine, the main strands of which were as thick as Lisa's wrists each.

As she gripped the bridge rope firmly, hair-like, curly fibers fell from the rope.

The rough-cut, uneven surface of the planks and ropes are woven together to form the bridge deck.She could even see the grain and the black knots in the planks, even the cracks that had appeared in the wood.

These little details are as perfectly and thoughtfully conceived as anything she and Robert do.

Only a programming master can design such a bridge.

Lisa put one of her feet on a plank. Under her weight, the plank snapped and fell spinning into the canyon below. Some small black bugs scrambled out of the broken wood. .

Lisa couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to herself, this step is really annoying.

"Lisa... Lisa! How are you doing?"

"I'm safe. Please be careful when you cross the bridge," she responded.

"Some of the planks on the bridge have rotted away."

Lisa had just walked halfway when she felt that the bridge deck under her feet was shaking, so she stopped, smelling a strong smell of rotten eggs floating up from below.

She felt a warm breeze against her skin.

She took a step forward, then felt the bridge tip suddenly, and she was thrown to the side of the bridge. She clung to the ropes on the bridge and tried to steady herself, waiting for the bridge to stop shaking.

"Go ahead!" cried Robert suddenly,

"The bridge is about to break!"

Lisa had just turned halfway around when two thick ropes snapped and the whole bridge tilted to one side.

She grabbed a few thick ropes with both hands and struggled desperately to hold on.

In normal virtual reality games, it is impossible for the player to die, however, this is no ordinary virtual reality game.

She knew: If she died in this game, she might slide into a sort of virtual reality coma in the real world, and, presumably, never wake up.

What's more, if you fall, you will suddenly fall into darkness. Where is the end of darkness?

Will there be an end?

The other rope suddenly broke, and the rough and hard rope slapped her face.

The whole bridge tilted to one side, leaving her hanging helplessly dangling here and there over the abyss.

As she tried to hold on, the rope cut into her flesh like fire.

She screamed and shouted:

"Robert!"

Robert kept pressing his fingers back and forth on the colored buttons, typing line after line of computer code, which was fed directly into Harper's mainframe.

Although he clearly knew that Lisa could not hear what he said, he still tried to encourage her:

"hold onto!"

The world of virtual reality is starting to change.

The split canyon was gone, as if someone had wiped it away, and solid earth filled the cracks.

Just at the end, several ropes suddenly snapped, and Lisa dangled back and forth, hanging high in the air. In an instant, a piece of green grass came up from below and caught Lisa.

Lisa opened her eyes, and then inexplicably patted the soft soil under her feet.

Robert flew over, knelt beside her, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"Thank goodness, how are you doing?"

Lisa nodded tremblingly. She crossed her arms and embraced her body. She tried her best to control her trembling hands. She looked around and said:
"Re-adjust the input program."
