Magica Technica ～Sword Demon Rakshasa’s VRMMO Battle Record～

Magica Technica Chapter 254

I'm sure you'll be curious about it, so I'll update it continuously until Sunday when the real part ends.

"... What do you mean?"

I was confused and asked the words that Aigasaki suddenly uttered.

Is the world already dead? So what exactly is this place we live in now?

However, Aigasaki's expression is serious. It never seems to be joking, and he waits for his words, though he is confused.

"Scans the human brain and uses that information to create AI ... There was a story that came up with the establishment of that technology. The idea is to deploy an AI based on ourselves and proceed with research and development from inside the server. "

However, Aigasaki did not answer my question. I continued the explanation.

The story was outlandish, but certainly convincing.

In research and development, there is not enough time. It is not unclear to come to the conclusion that if there is a technology to duplicate ourselves, we will utilize it.

Well, there may be ethical resistance and identity issues-the engineers may have taken action after clearing those areas. ..

"They created AI based on themselves and started server management and research in a special management space formed inside the server."

"... Hey, wait a minute. That's no way--"

Enoshima stands up with a different complexion.

I also sensed what Aigasaki was trying to say and stared at him with the feeling that I couldn't believe it.

On the other hand, Aigasaki meditated and uttered the decisive words, with a slight descent.

"My grandfather, Ryuichiro Aigasaki, is an AI that is a copy of Ryuichiro Aigasaki in the real world. HW ”…… We also have data that lives on the computer.”

"Tsu ---!"

Decided Enoshima hits the desk with both hands and makes his face look down.

Asuka and Arisa both stunnedly opened their eyes and stiffened without being able to swallow the meaning of the words.

As I said, I also held my head and sighed deeply. Although I had expected it, the shock that was declared was not odd.

Maybe we are waiting for the information to be swallowed, Aigasaki has been silent since the last word.

I sighed deeply again and screamed again at his appearance.

"Do you think you can believe such a story ... I want to say that"

"You can believe it."

"I don't think a person in a position like you would bother to call this far and just tell a joke. And ... Enoshima, what? Do you have any idea? "

Enoshima is standing down while hitting the desk, but he doesn't seem to say any rebuttal words.

If she had something that could be denied, she would have said it immediately.

Does it mean that you have some convincing information?

When asked with that in mind, Enoshima raised his face and raised his voice.

"... It shouldn't have been possible in the first place. Today's world technically, VR games-real-time analysis and electronic computerization of brain signals, I couldn't have done it. "

" Ke, but ... you can actually do it, right? "

" Yes, that's right. Only that one point is the birth of technology that seems to have taken the knowledge of more than 100 years ahead. "

While saying, Enoshima raises his face.

The expression was steep, and I kept staring at Aigasaki's eyes.

"It was the Aigasaki Group's dive system that made it possible. It reads brain signals, digitizes them, and links them to avatars on the computer ... Aigasaki Group. This patented technology is, in fact, a complete black box. No other company or engineer has succeeded in analyzing this technology. "

"... Basically, externally blocked Hakoba world ( Server ) than real world ( real ) It was based on an old age. Just in case they don't realize the truth. "

" ... Yes, if your words are true, I'm convinced You can. If we are in the data from the beginning, just link that information to another avatar-it's a simple mechanism that I can imagine. "

Aigasaki smiles at Enoshima's words.

Apparently, I have no intention of denying her words.

Certainly, if it originally exists as data, it can be imagined that the avatar of the game and the feeling can be linked.

Our bodies have a feeling of blood and flesh, but so do the enemies and locals in the game.

I don't know what kind of technology it is, but it seems that the researchers have made it possible to create avatars that are exactly the same as the actual body.

…… When you think about it, the difference in technical level is really big.

(Sure, it felt strange to say that)

As with NPCs that are too elaborate, that game's I could feel the intention of the progress more than normal operation.

The shadow of Jijii can be seen and hidden, and we are treated with Kudou Jintsuu-style in a strange way. The feeling of strangeness that I always feel when fighting with each other, the reconciliation line of Altorius that is too desperate.

――And the message that the sergeant gave to me. As long as there is this, it cannot be cut off and thrown away.

"Honestly, I can't believe it completely, but ... let's assume that it's true. The world you mentioned earlier is gone. Is that ... in other words, is the real world destroyed? "

" To be precise, that seems to be the case. Currently, inquiries from us However, there is no response from real world ( real ) . And ... this is the last message I received. "

While saying that, Aigasaki took out a small recorder.

Apparently, the message was delivered by voice.

Aigasaki pressed the play button-soon, the voice of an old man began to flow from the machine.

"Huh, huh ... communication record, 58424 ... this will probably be the last communication ..."

A painful sigh, and a damp sound mixed with it.

I know it because I have seen many deaths. The Lord of this voice is about to die.

I don't know the cause, but this man probably conveys this voice with his last power.

"We are over ... there is no future in the world of humans ... the only regret is to leave you behind ..."

p>

It is a strong regret to be full of voice. And at the same time, something close to love is also transmitted.

This man must have taken good care of the other person from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know what kind of thought it came from, but he was more concerned about our future than his lost life. It seems.

"Your world will continue ... please, in the future ... fortunately, many ... things ..."

That's it, the man's voice is cut off.

The last message that can even be taken as a will.

I can't read all of its true meaning, but it's no wonder that the world of the Lord of this voice is dead.

But--

"... world is reality world ( Real ) I decided that it was dead, and that we were on the data ... well, I understood. I swallowed it for the time being, but I wonder if the server is a personal computer after all? Real world ( Real ) is dead, who is maintaining it? "

" The server center is completely mechanized. Due to geothermal heat. Repairs of power generation facilities and equipment are also automated by robots, so there are almost no problems on the center side. "

Apparently, Real world ( Real ) seems to be really the world of science fiction by our standards.

However, even if you are curious, there seems to be no way to confirm it anymore.

I left my back on the back of the chair and sighed deeply and screamed.

"In summary, we are AI, and this world exists on the server like a game."

" ... can't you believe it? "

" Honestly, I haven't swallowed it up, but I don't think you're plotting us. However, I think that the probability is high, which is a fact. "

However, the information is too shocking to be chewed.

The feeling that what I believed in until now was turned over.

I felt uneasy when I realized that what I was stepping on because I thought it was a certain ground was about to collapse.

I could swallow it if I had a little time, but I hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

To calm down once, I shake a topic that is a little far away to Aigasaki.

"... Isn't MT a game made by the Aigasaki Group?"

"It's a delicate place ... … That server, Magictail ( MT ) originally used a dive system MMORPG ――Well, it is a game server made assuming the same usage pattern as the current game. It seems that the service did not start after all, but Hakoba world ( Server ) itself was completed, so we will be using it later.

In other words, the Aigasaki Group is not irrelevant because the Hakodate plan was originally involved.

Well, I'm convinced in a sense. If it was created as a game from the beginning, it would be easy to use it as a retrofit.

I have no intention of digging roots and digging leaves to see what kind of adjustments are being made behind the scenes.

"... So. I understand the background ... What on earth do you want us to do?"

"Here Please see. "

While saying, Aigasaki puts some material on the desk.

I read the material with some graphs-I was surprised.

HW server utilization rate, a downward-sloping graph. What is this really?

"I talked about server maintenance earlier. It's about this, but it's not that there's nothing wrong with it."

"... What do you say?"

"For server maintenance, you need to stop the machine. Basically, the server has a redundant configuration .... Since it is configured to connect more than one machine and complement each other, it is possible to perform maintenance alternately without stopping the server. "

Aigasaki's words, face The server.

Somehow, I guessed what I meant.

"But this server was originally used for testing, so it wasn't redundantly configured. Such a server isn't maintained.

"Is this a decrease in utilization rate?"

"Yes. But ... in the not too distant future, this Hakoba world ( server ) Stop, we'll fall asleep forever. "

Again, look at the materials that Aigasaki gave us.

Occupancy rate is gradually decreasing.

How far will this world disappear and disappear?

However, the key machine is reality world ( which we cannot reach.> Real ) .

"... I hear one thing. You're not just trying to accept death with peace?"

"Of course, that's why we're running the game right now."

"... No way!"

Enoshima raises his face as if he was played.

Astonished and convinced. Aigasaki nodded with a small smile on his expression, which was a mixture of them.

"If the machine breaks, transfer the data inside. Worst of all, even important data. Yes ... Hakoba world ( Server ) Magica Technica, a game that uses magic tails, is a world-wide migration called a game. It's a plan "
