blackstone code

Chapter 3136

"Have you made your decision?"

A scientist looked at Ponte lying on the operating table and made the final confirmation of the operation.

Ponte has no relatives and has been living alone since he left his job.

Only in the virtual world can he feel that he is still alive. In the real world, apart from feeling tired and exhausted, there is nothing else that can make him feel happy.

Faced with a job opportunity where you want to work but don’t even have two more hours to work, faced with an assembly line where you have to hold your pee for six hours, faced with a work environment that seems enthusiastic but is actually cold.

Sometimes he doesn’t even know what the meaning of life is.
Is it just to live numbly and repetitively like a robot?

He used to like watching a reality show and liked one of the characters in it, who was lazy, greedy, fat, liked to take advantage of others, and had many bad habits.

Such a character, which is almost entirely negative, has a relatively high popularity.

Because people see themselves in this guy, so after some psychological struggle, some people will like him.

Watching this guy being depressed on the show is like looking in a mirror. People even hope that he can cheer up, which is stronger than trying to cheer themselves up!
Everyone holds a hope that this guy will one day pick himself up, change himself, and become a role model for people!

Ponte really liked an interview with this guy on the show, or rather one of the dialogues.

When the host asked him why he lay on the sofa all day, relying on relief food and borrowed money, buying cheap high-happiness food and soda, and watching various TV dramas and slowly sinking into depravity.

But they are unwilling to go out of the family and do something, even if it is just to exercise or clean up the bad home environment to make some changes.

He faced the camera with his round, somewhat funny face, and said with a smile using his unique simple and honest expression with a hint of innocence and stupidity:

"For people like me, I can foresee my future from the moment I am born."

"What else do I have to struggle with?"

These words touched Ponte's heart and the hearts of many people.

For a life whose head can be seen at a glance, is it really necessary and meaningful to struggle?
Perhaps this is the reason why he can lie in peace and enjoy himself in a pigsty. He has clearly realized that his life will not change because of his efforts.

Even if he worked harder and changed more, his destiny and his life would not change at all.

Just like Ponte in the past, you can see the end at a glance.

Until the advent of the virtual world, this virtual world became the power to save him, became an opportunity to change his destiny, and most importantly, he grasped it.

Now Ponte has some assets, got married in the game, and even has a child!
I have never had such a strong desire to truly embrace this child, to have this happy family, career, and everything.

So when the company was looking for "digital life" experimenters, he signed up.

He hopes that he will no longer be a "passer-by" in the virtual world, and he also hopes to get some opportunities for change.

In fact, not many people are willing to participate in this experimental program, even though the company has repeatedly confirmed that the technology is already highly mature and has a success rate of up to 99 percent.

But many people are still not sure whether this is a good thing to do, especially those with families.

The company claims that transformation into digital life will not have any impact on current life. They can still control their bodies through brain-computer interaction, and can also enter the virtual world anytime and anywhere. They can even cross the sea of ​​stars and land on other planets anytime and anywhere when necessary!
Of course, this planet needs to be connected to the Global Communication server system. As long as the Global Communication server is opened in the area, they will have the ability to transfer instantly.

In addition to these, the company will also give some other rewards, such as material rewards, adding 50,000 yuan to the account.

Alternatively, you can make a request that is within the company's capabilities, and as long as it is not too complicated, the company will do its best to achieve it.

What Ponte requested was that his wife and children have a truly independent life.

They are no longer controlled by the virtual world server and can also come to the real world.

He hopes that one day he can take his children to explore other planets, hold his wife's hand and watch real sunrises and sunsets together.

The company agreed to this small request.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, these experiments would still have to be done later, the only difference was that the characters would be selected differently, instead of randomly selecting them, they would be designated with two.

After signing a series of documents and confirming his rights, he lay on the cold operating table.

At this time, the scientist took out a tablet and started recording him. "This is the final confirmation procedure. The company requires us to ensure that every patient must be conscious and willing to complete the operation."

"Now, you need to read the words on the screen to the camera, then confirm your personal information here and confirm it."

This is a passage about giving up something, affirming some rights, and making sure that you are not being influenced by external forces when making these decisions.

In fact, these confirmation processes may not be necessary. Given the current status of Global Communication, if they want to put someone on the operating table, even if the person has no problems at all, he will eventually lie on the operating table and quietly wait for the judgment of fate.

But Lynch still demands that procedures must be followed. Procedural justice may seem a bit stupid from the perspective of the grassroots people, but these rigidities and stupidities also protect their most basic rights.

Don't be a rule breaker. This is an experience that rulers must master.

If even one ruler does not abide by these rules, at least on the surface, others will trample on them even more unscrupulously.

After Ponte read the passage and confirmed it through palm prints, the scientists put a mask on him.

As the anesthetic gas entered his body, the troubles he had been worried about if he was not anesthetized did not happen.

He only resisted for less than ten seconds before the drug, which could even anesthetize alien monsters, put him into a deep "hibernation" and even his surface consciousness became motionless.

Scientists began to remove his skull. A special skull removal tool was fixed on his skull, and soon the skull could be seen being slowly uncovered.

A brain half lying in the back of the skull was presented to scientists.

They first temporarily removed the brain-computer connection cables, then buried more neural interfaces under the cortex, and then began to spray some drugs to allow the brain to grow rapidly and fully integrate with these neural cables.

At this moment, Ponte seemed to wake up from a dream. He knew that this was a dream, a lucid dream.

The dream began when he first heard his parents calling him, and ended when he opened his eyes and saw the world for the first time.

He seemed to be walking his life journey again, every minute and every second was so clear and visible.

Many small details that he had forgotten were now revealed in great detail.

He could even see the brand names and advertising slogans of the toys his father bought when he was two years old.

He could see the lace patterns on the lace-trimmed dress worn by a pretty lady who visited the house when he was four years old.

He didn't know why, but he began to cry silently.

He thought he had forgotten it all long ago, but who could have known that he had not forgotten it at all, and he had hidden it all deeply in the deepest part of his heart!

The ordinary yet strong love from his parents made him feel lost like a child who had lost his way.

When he realized how ridiculous his life was, an inexplicable regret and self-blame began to devour his heart.

When he saw his wife and children enjoying peace and a better life, he seemed to have experienced a spiritual cleansing and completely relaxed.

The picture finally stopped at the moment before he closed his eyes.

His consciousness began to surge, and a force began to cause the entire conscious world to collapse. He was a little scared, but not too scared. Finally, he stood on the broken ground and quietly accepted everything that followed.

"Consciousness has also been generated and is perfectly integrated with the code!" Scientists can already observe Ponte's life through the monitor.

As the personality and chaos codes began to mix, the byte units that were originally all "00" suddenly began to roll from the middle position.

Soon after, the scope of the impact became larger and larger, until everyone!
On the originally blank panel, some meaningless garbled strings kept appearing and were quickly replaced by new ones. This is the characteristic of chaos code!
A digital life has been born.

After this code was verified by Aurora, it was immediately uploaded to the central server. In other words, Ponte had achieved immortality at this time.

Digital immortality, electronic immortality, even if the server stops, as long as it can be restarted one day, he will come back to life!
Ponte slowly opened his eyes. The whole world did not seem much different in his sight, but he felt a little strange about his own body.

"Try to grab this..." The scientist gave him a gripper, "Hold it tightly, we need to check your control of your body."

Ponte was still a little confused while holding the gripper, "Have I... become a digital life?"

He touched his body in disbelief, "It seems to be no different from the past, I am still me!"

The scientist smiled, "No, you are no longer yourself, but you still need Aurora to teach you the part you haven't mastered yet..."
