118 Plans Starting from Infancy

The appearance of the Blue King attracted the attention of several people.

Just ten or twenty minutes ago, there were still these seven kings in the Accel World. The King of Pure Colors, as the ruler of the entire Accel World, enjoyed the respect and admiration of the Accelerators.

However, shortly after the Black King announced his return to the Accelerated World and his prey on the kings there, three of the Pure Color Kings—Red, Yellow, and Purple—had already left the stage. All that remained was the Blue King, who was also nearing his end, and the fully healthy Black King.

What's most laughable is that the Black King merely engaged in a fierce battle with the Blue King, and the tragic outcome had little to do with him. The most devastating defeat was actually caused by the infighting among the kings themselves.

Once this news gets out, the king's prestige will definitely plummet to its lowest point. Perhaps without the king as the legion commander and the threat of a decisive blow, several legions will fall apart.

Of course, none of this mattered to those present. Their purpose and focus had long since transcended the Accel World game itself.

"What a pitiful king!"

BlackVise's voice rang out again, filled with sarcasm, saying, "This is why I don't want to be king. You've all become someone else's guinea pigs without even realizing it."

"A person like King Lan, who has upheld justice for countless years, can not only use a self-constructed principle to hypnotize himself, but also inspire countless people. This kind of guy is definitely a talent."

"However, it is a pity that the Blue King and the Red King, all of their persistence is just an empty castle built on a fictional platform. It would be strange if they could succeed."

Seeing that BlackVise had gone off-topic again, Kuroyukihime had to remind her once more, saying, "BlackVise, can't you control your mouth? What question am I asking you? Do you really not know, or are you just not smart enough?"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth right away, you impatient Black King. Can't you let me express my thoughts on life? This is a rare opportunity!"

"Buzz!"

In response, Kuroyukihime flicked her sword, sending a blade flying towards BlackVise. BlackVise unhesitatingly revealed a steel plate to block it. Three of the six steel plates were cleaved in two before the blade lost its force.

"How scary, how scary! Okay, I'll tell you right away."

After being threatened by Kuroyukihime, BlackVise finally showed some signs of becoming less talkative. He pointed to the Blue King beside him and said, "Actually, you've experienced it too, haven't you, Miss Black King? When you made the first Red King leave the stage, and just now when you made the Purple King leave the stage."

"It might not have been obvious during the reign of the Red King, but when the Purple King was forced to retire, you definitely felt it, that feeling of your brain being crammed with a lot of information in an instant."

Kuroyukihime's pupils contracted slightly, because what BlackVise said was true.

"In the end, I still need to explain it from the principle. Let me put it simply."

"The neural connection device in our necks utilizes quantum computing and quantum communication technologies. Although the term 'quantum' transcends the general concept of matter, it is a unit, and here it still refers to something."

BlackVise tilted his head, seemingly showing off his neural connection device, but since he was just a virtual entity, there was naturally nothing there.

"Neural connection devices communicate with our brains using quantum-level signals. These signals are called quantum light."

"In other words, quantum light flows between our brains, neural connections, other people's neural connections, and the central server. Do you understand now?"

Although it was a question, BlackVise didn't wait for Kuroyukihime to answer, and said, "I believe you understand. This involves a very crucial point, which is that our brains can accept and skillfully use quantum light."

"This is a great discovery and a great characteristic of our brain. When this characteristic was confirmed, the researchers were so excited that they were jumping for joy because everyone knew that a window that could potentially affect the world and the course of human history had been opened."

"The brain can accept quantum light, become accustomed to quantum light, and utilize quantum light."

At this point, Kuroyukihime gradually understood that, at least in terms of the principle of neural connection devices, the basic principle was no secret. After all, it was something that was circulating all over the world, and the external principle could even be seen in introductions on the Internet.

However, the brain's acceptance and use of quantum light surprised and intrigued Kuroyukihime, and also helped her understand something she had never understood before.

Quantum light... Accelerated world... Imaginary body... Mind technique... Excess light—it seemed as if, in an instant, a thin thread connected everything.

"It seems that Miss Kuroyukihime understands as well. That's right, the brain can receive and use quantum light, which is the foundation of the Accelerated World. Although no one knows why the brain can do this, once the result is known, sometimes the principle is not important."

"After discovering that the brain can accept and use quantum light, neural connection devices were developed on this basis. Of course, this still has nothing to do with the Accelerated World. The Accelerated World originated from another discovery."

Kuroyukihime couldn't help but take a step forward, revealing her desire for this secret, for the secret of the Accelerated World.

Accel World has influenced her life, and now that its secrets are being revealed, she can't help but yearn for it.

"This other discovery shocked all the researchers beyond belief."

BlackVise paused for a moment, then said, "That is, the human brain is not simply capable of receiving and using quantum light. After a long period of use, quantum light seems to have altered the human brain, causing it to undergo certain changes."

"This change is first reflected in the brain after a period of time, especially in children, where the acceptance and use of quantum mechanics increases significantly."

"After that, what shocked them the most was that the human brain seemed to have fully accepted quantum light, not only satisfied with using and accepting it, but also able to generate quantum light."

"this!"

Kuroyukihime exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the changes BlackVise mentioned were quite astonishing.

To give a simple example, humans can create and use tools. Each tool produced by humans has changed human life, altered the course of human society, and made humans the dominant species on the planet today.

However, probably no one has ever thought about why humans don't grow tools from their own bodies.

Why can't the body grow a knife, a car, or an aircraft carrier?

Anyone who thinks like that would probably be considered a heretic or a lunatic long ago.

However, a strange thing happened in the field of quantum mechanics.

What researchers initially saw as a revolutionary technology that would change human communication and life turned out to open a mysterious door to the evolution of human life.

The brain can produce quantum light.

"What this means, naturally no one could possibly know. But they are scientists, they are researchers, and since they know that such a thing exists, they will naturally start to study it and start to experiment."

When talking about the experiment, BlackVise's tone was slightly playful as she looked at Kuroyukihime, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, Mo Mo noticed that Kuroyukihime's body had begun to tremble.

"Xiaoxue, are you alright?"

"No... I'm fine, it's just... an experiment... an experiment..."

Seeing that no one responded, BlackVise shrugged and continued, "In short, to conduct an experiment, you naturally need a large number of controllable samples. And this is an experiment related to humans and the brain, and the so-called samples are the concentration of quantum light in the brain."

"The simplest way to increase the concentration of quantum light in the brain, as currently known, is to extend the wearing and use time and frequency of neural connection devices."

"And so, with their push, the first law was enacted. A heated debate began about the necessity and safety of infants wearing neural connection devices from a young age."

"Fortunately, in the face of the power of science, humanity can only bow down to that long string of scientific arguments and proofs, and the average person simply cannot see the hidden purpose within them. The practice of babies wearing neural connection devices from a young age has gradually become common knowledge, starting from pilot programs."

BlackVise spoke eloquently, saying, "Fortunately, Black King, you and your sister, as well as all the first people in Accelerated World, including the first hundred Accelerators, are beneficiaries of this plan."

Without this plan, you wouldn't have the ability to use neural connections so flexibly, you wouldn't be able to become Accelerators, and you certainly wouldn't be Kings.

Kuroyukihime gritted her teeth. BlackVise actually had some things she didn't say, things that Kuroyukihime knew, and that BlackVise probably knew as well.

Kuroyukihime's family, Kuroba Pharmaceuticals, was the direct driving force behind this project. Furthermore, as the company that initially developed and promoted the neural connection device, there's no doubt that the researchers BlackVise mentioned were employees of Kuroba Pharmaceuticals!

So, the family's involvement in such sordid matters started a long time ago!

"You're probably thinking that such filthy things could be the work of your Kuroba family, right? If so, I can only say you're too naive, Miss Black King."

BlackVise's voice was somewhat disdainful, like an adult watching a child's antics, as he said, "Imagine what society would be like without your family, without the neural connection device?"

"Your family, your father, and the researchers under your family have truly changed the world. Moreover, wearing neural connection devices from infancy undoubtedly has a powerful effect on the intellectual and brain development of children from an early age."

"Otherwise, how could such a plan be recognized by the whole world and become a global trend?"

119 They're bastards!

Kuroyukihime was taken aback, not expecting BlackVise to say such a thing, even though what BlackVise said made a lot of sense.

However, despite BlackVise speaking up for her family, Kuroyukihime still thought of some things that she would never accept if they weren't explained clearly.

"So, you support all of this, BlackVise? Let's get down to business. I think what you're about to say is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Mo Mo interjected at this moment, and BlackVise nodded, saying, "That's right, as expected of MiddleMagic, being able to sort things out so quickly, you are indeed a worthy opponent."

"Wearing neural connection devices from infancy is indeed their idea to enhance the quantum light level of the human brain. But unfortunately, this method is far from sufficient."

"Although the concentration of quantum light in the minds of the new generation of children has increased significantly, as researchers, they are concerned with change, with limits, rather than a little bit of useless quantitative progress."

"What they crave is a qualitative change."

"To achieve a qualitative change, one must accumulate a massive amount of quantitative change."

Upon hearing the term "quantitative change," Kuroyukihime couldn't help but glance again at the Blue King, who had gradually stopped struggling. Was this what they called quantitative change?

"They observed the changes and transformations in the new generation and then concluded that as long as humanity continues to use neural connection devices generation after generation, humanity's adaptability to and ability to generate quantum light will be greatly improved."

"Finally, after calculations, it is estimated that after several dozen generations of gradual accumulation and evolution, and after several hundred or even thousands of years, the level of quantum light in the human mind will reach the level that these researchers expect. At that time, they will be able to begin their research."

At this point, BlackVise paused, and both Manman and Kuroyukihime, being intelligent people, realized the absurdity of the situation.

Perhaps, it's also a kind of helplessness.

Researchers used every means at their disposal to drive change across the world, but the results of those changes will not be visible for hundreds or thousands of years.

Who would willingly accept such a thing?

"As you all have guessed, the experiment has reached a stalemate, or even a dead end. Unless there is a way to significantly accelerate the time process, the experiment can only come to an end here."

"The results of their painstaking research can only be sealed as archives and preserved, waiting for future generations to continue their research after hundreds or thousands of years."

"However, after hundreds or thousands of years, who knows what the world will be like? Will their research archives be destroyed along the way? Will neural connection devices be phased out in the course of human history? Perhaps even humanity itself may become extinct in the process."

"No one is willing to accept this, but everyone is helpless."

"It's easy to imagine that at this moment, if someone could provide a technology that greatly accelerates the experimental process, allowing everyone to quickly accumulate quantum light and increase the concentration of quantum light in their minds, then everyone would be overjoyed, right?"

After speaking, BlackVise looked at the Green King, while Kuroyukihime and Momo also looked at the tall green imaginary entity.

"Accel World..."

"That's right, Accel World."

"The mysterious Green King provided this groundbreaking technology and approach, successfully enabling children whose quantum light concentration reaches a certain level to enter an accelerated state. While the children's bodies are almost at a standstill in this accelerated state, their brains keep up with the accelerated state with the help of neural connection devices."

"At the same time, because acceleration is also a deeper application of quantum technology, the accumulation of quantum light in the mind of a person in an accelerated state can be said to be greatly enhanced. Even if it is not as terrifying as a thousand times acceleration in an accelerated world, it is still dozens or hundreds of times faster."

"In this way, acceleration became a glimmer of hope for everyone. No one would refuse this means that would allow them to continue their work, even though it is still unknown whether this means is safe."

Kuroyukihime pursed her lips and said, "Could it be that without knowing whether the experiment was safe, they directly created the Accelerated World, this game-like system, and had everyone participate in the experiment?! This kind of thing..."

"No, no, no, Miss Black King, they are just experimenters, not as bad as you think. They will naturally choose to conduct safety tests as well."

"After all, even for the sake of the experiment's smooth progress, it's impossible to let each Accelerator develop any abnormalities in their bodies. Otherwise, no matter how well the Accelerated World is hidden, it will eventually be detected by the real world."

"Therefore, Accelerated World has been repeatedly confirmed and has been determined to be an absolutely safe technology. At least the acceleration itself is unlikely to cause any physical problems to the accelerater."

Hearing this, Kuroyukihime breathed a slight sigh of relief. So, the things her family did... did they still have some conscience after all?

However, Mo Mo's words made her heartbeat, which had just slowed down, tense up again in an instant.
