The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 269: Aren’t You Afraid of Injections?

General Long Chengfei sat on the sofa, feeling a little unprepared.

Yesterday on the 230th floor of the Sky Arena, when he saw the system prompt saying "Participate in top-secret testing", he thought that the wording used by Dream Building was a bit exaggerated.

Generally speaking, game testing is referred to as "internal testing" or "small-scale testing".

At most, it will only last until the "confidentiality test".

The word "top secret" is somewhat exaggerated and excessive when used in game testing.

But now...

As soon as Xu Meng made a phone call, two national security workers came with a confidentiality agreement.

Before signing the agreement, he was given anti-espionage education.

This process is so formal that it’s a bit scary!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Meng, who was lying on the sofa with a sleepy look on her face.

This distraction was caught by the lady who was "taking a class" opposite: "Mr. Chen, please be serious."

"Oh, sorry." Long Cheng Feijiang nodded quickly and focused his attention.

This unexpected class lasted for a full half hour.

Only then did we start signing the confidentiality agreement.

After they explained the precautions to Longcheng Feijiang one by one, Longcheng Feijiang signed his name at the end of the agreement.

【Chen Zhong】

Although the development of the situation was beyond his expectations, Chen Zhong was not a timid person.

Now that things have come to this point, we need to take a closer look at the situation!

This is a top-secret national project!

If you back down now, you won’t be able to sleep well for the next few months - just wait to be tortured by curiosity.

……

"Is it over?" Xu Meng saw the three people stand up and shake hands, and he also stood up from the sofa.

"It's over, Mr. Xu." The two National Security Bureau staff members nodded politely.

"Stay and have dinner together?"

"We've already eaten, so we won't bother you anymore." After saying that, the two of them said goodbye together.

Xu Meng then turned to Longcheng Feijiang and said, "You came so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? Come, let's talk while we eat."

After buying the house, Xu Meng finally achieved her goal.

From a 20-square-meter rental house, I jumped to a large flat in one step.

It’s true that it’s not a top-notch luxury house, but that’s only because he wants to be closer to the company, not because he can’t afford it.

Bringing Long Chengfei to the floor-to-ceiling window, breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.

——Now Xu Meng’s dining and traveling are all arranged by a professional team.

He no longer needs to worry about any trivial matters in life.

Wu Shuang told him: "Use your energy in more valuable places."

"If you want to do scientific research, do it. If you want to make games, play games, that's fine. Even if you don't do anything and just take a good rest and relax, that's fine too."

“Don’t let the trivialities of life waste your energy.”

Xu Meng was not quite used to it at first.

But it has to be said that human nature has the gene to pursue enjoyment, and he is essentially a lazy person, so he got used to it in a few days.

No need to cook, clean up, or wash dishes, then eating is pure joy.

Xu Meng, Xiao Meng and Long Chengfei will have dinner at the same table.

General Long Chengfei kept looking at Xiao Meng who was also eating, and couldn't help wondering how much server computing power this girl had used up in order to have dinner with Xu Meng.

——She didn’t simply make eating movements.

When she picked up the food, there was really less food on the plate!
The technical background revealed in this small detail was so profound that even General Longcheng was not a technical person, his eyes twitched.

Xu Meng didn't care about not talking while eating or sleeping, and he started talking about business right away at the table:

"I said it's a bit troublesome because traditional devices can't experience content related to 'mind'."

"Now that you have come into contact with it, you should know that things like thoughts need to be controlled with thoughts and will."

"To put it bluntly, it's mind control."

"The brain control devices on the market are still too basic and far from sufficient in terms of sensitivity and freedom."

“So, we came up with something new.”

General Long Chengfei quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Xu Meng seriously.

Xu Meng didn't keep him in suspense and immediately revealed the answer to him: "Dream machine."

"?" Long Chengfei blinked, thinking he had misheard. "This device allows players to experience the game in the form of a dream..."

Xu Meng continued.

But General Long Chengfei couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait a minute! Boss Xu!"

"Aren't you talking about a brain control device? How did it become a dream machine?"

Normally, after complaining about the lack of sensitivity of devices on the market, shouldn’t the next step be to say that you have made a breakthrough and created a more sensitive and better-used brain-control device?

Why did you suddenly change the subject and start dreaming? ?
“Is there any connection between these two things?”

"It's all done with the brain, isn't it obvious?" Xu Meng asked back.

The flying general of Longcheng was speechless.

Xu Meng then continued:
"I said earlier that this matter is a bit troublesome because the [Dream Machine] is still in the prototype stage."

"The clinical trial results of sleepwalking drugs a while ago were quite good, so it's not impossible to use them directly."

“But I’m not satisfied.”

"Because this version of the prototype must inject the user with a somnambulism drug before entering the dream state, so that the user's brain wave signal can quickly synchronize with the device."

"From a scientific research perspective, this is indeed a major breakthrough."

"But by the standards of a game console, this is clearly substandard."

At this point, Xu Meng herself felt a little speechless: "I have to take a shot every time before logging into the game. This is too ridiculous."

Longcheng Feijiang thought about the scene and felt it was very outrageous.

"If I take injections every time, my arms will be covered with beehives after a month. If I take a train, I'll be arrested and interrogated as a drug addict, right?"

Xu Meng nodded in agreement.

“So I kept researching gentler ways to get in, and I ended up landing on patches and incense.”

"But the price of a moderate price is that we need to reconfigure the ingredients of the sleepwalking agent and optimize the brain wave signal collector. This will take time."

"So if you want to experience the gameplay of 'Nian', it's best to wait until the equipment is coordinated and optimized."

"Otherwise you'll have to get an injection."

After Xu Meng finished talking about things, he began to eat seriously.

The flying general of Longcheng also fell silent and ate quietly.

It seems that both sides have reached a consensus.

But when Xu Meng was full and put down his chopsticks, Longcheng Feijiang asked, "Are there any side effects of injecting sleepwalking drugs?"

"No." Xu Meng was a little proud.

However, for the sake of rigor, he added: "It should be said that in theory, there is no side effect, and the current clinical trials have not found any side effects, but to say that there is absolutely no problem, I am afraid we have to wait a little longer."

General Long Chengfei was silent for a moment again.

When Xu Meng stood up from the table, he suddenly asked again: "Can I join?"

Xu Meng was surprised, "Participating in what?"

"Whether it's an injection, a patch or incense, we need someone to help with the testing, right?" Long Cheng Feijiang guessed.

"I can help."

Long Chengfei's reaction was beyond Xu Meng's expectations.

No matter how much you trust Xu Meng, joining the test at this stage is undoubtedly a very risky move.

He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid?"

Long Chengfei looked at Xu Meng, and instead of answering whether he was afraid or not, he gave another answer -

"I am very honored."

When Xu Meng was slumped on the sofa in a daze, the national security personnel told him that he must keep strictly confidential what he would learn next.

because:

The matter involves state secrets.

The matter involves core interests.

This concerns the future of the nation.

Before he knew about the existence of the Dream Machine, Long Cheng Feijiang thought it was some kind of idiom. Every time they conducted anti-espionage education, they would bring it up and say it again to make those being educated pay more attention to it.

But after listening to Xu Meng's words and thinking silently for a moment about what the "dream machine" could be used for, he realized belatedly:
This is probably not an exaggeration!
【Dream Machine】, it is so important!
In this way, the rest of the things are very simple -

Long Chengfei made a firm statement and expressed his hope to join the testing work of the "Dream Machine".

No compensation is required.

All other personal arrangements can give way to this!
Xu Meng felt his determination.

After hesitating for a moment, I asked him a question: "Are you not afraid of injections?"
