Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Virtual Reality

"Damn! Why am I so unlucky?" Tang Long kept complaining while eating the food he obtained after finishing the training with great difficulty: "How could those perverted instructors come up with some training methods from ancient times? Do we still pay attention to physical strength in this era?" It's no wonder that Tang Long complained. He has been in this base for more than a month, and every day he does physical exercises such as running with weights, swimming, sit-ups, push-ups, and handstand pull-ups. What's more, Tang Long's physical strength was not used to exercise. After the robot issued a terrifying goal, if Tang Long failed to achieve it, he would be whipped.

For example, push-ups, one order is a hundred, and if you can't do it, you will have no food and will be whipped. Tang Long is very surprised that he can survive until now. We must know that in this era, except for sports athletes who have super-intensive training, ordinary soldiers do not need to train their physical strength. Now you can fight with your fingers and your brain.Why do you have to work so hard? Tang Long has an hour of rest time after every meal. It seems that the robot also understands the reason why it can't do strenuous exercise after eating.Tang Long is now ready to use this time to have some fun.

"Well, if you smoke a cigarette after dinner, you will be really happy like a fairy." Tang Long wiped his mouth, stood up and sighed. He was just talking, he had never smoked before, and even if he wanted to learn it, he couldn't learn it. He is the only living person who calls this base! "Hehe, I didn't expect that a private like me could actually wear a gun." Tang Long pressed the laser pistol on his waist and said with a stiff expression as he looked at the dark hall. I don't know why, since he blew up the dining room, the power supply in the hall has been intermittent.

The robot instructor didn't pursue him for blowing up the dining hall. Instead, he was given a pistol. Fortunately, with a gun on his body, Tang Long wouldn't be so afraid in the dark. Of course, he didn't dare to take it out and shoot casually. The consequences of accidentally shooting the instructor a few times last time, now he thinks about it and feels that his calf will cramp. Looking at the pitch-black scenery, Tang Long gritted his teeth and put his finger into the trigger.Of course, he still didn't draw out the gun entirely, and just walked out of the dining room with it on his waist.

He also didn't want to leave the bright dining room, but now not only was there no electricity in his room, but even the dining room would suddenly lose power and close the door. The damaged door has long been repaired by the automatic repair device.The only place with electricity in the entire base is the entertainment room, where Tang Long goes in almost once or twice a day, and there are all kinds of three-dimensional games there.It was also for this reason that Tang Long dared to sneak into the dark hall to go to the entertainment room. "Damn it! It's changed again!"

Tang Long cursed angrily. He found that every time he came to the entrance of the entertainment room based on his own memory, he would not know where he was, and he had to go around the hall in the dark. Find. Tang Long didn't know why the entertainment room didn't open when it sensed someone approaching, and he had to use his hands to get in.It can only be explained by the absence of electricity. He didn't know that the power failure rate of a military base was only one in ten thousand. If there was a power failure, it would only be possible to destroy the entire base. Tang Long pressed the gun with one hand and bent over to grope carefully by the wall, while talking to himself to strengthen his courage: "I really don't know which idiot installed the manual door opening device in this base so low that I can't eat it." If you are full, you need to do abdominal exercises... Ah, I found it." Tang Long felt a protruding point and shouted happily.

When he found the recreation room last time, the rest time had already passed, because he had to open and see room by room. So after that time, he shot a few shots towards the corner of the wall, but because of the automatic repair device, he had to shoot a big hole, and then stuffed the discarded laser gun energy bullets into it, so that the automatic repair device would not Get rid of this mark. Tang Long was eager to break the record of playing shooting games last night. When he opened the door and wanted to rush in, the scene in front of him immediately collapsed to the ground with a scream, because there was a man whose whole body could be seen standing at the door. skeleton man.

Tang Long moved back in panic while pulling out the pistol from his waist, raised his hand to aim and wanted to shoot.But at the moment he pulled the trigger, he noticed the green light in the eyes of the skeleton man flashed. It was the light he was most familiar with, and it was a light that would scare him awake at night.So his heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his hands, and stammered, "Teach...teach...instructor." The skeleton man nodded, his eerie white teeth were cracked up and down, and an emotionless voice came from there: "Very well, you can already control the desire to shoot. Hehe, if you shot me just now, no Knowing the crime of murdering the chief twice, what kind of punishment will there be?" Speaking of which, the green light in the robot's eyes became brighter.

Seeing that weird green light, Tang Long only felt his scalp go numb, he quickly got up and stood aside respectfully, not daring to move. "Tang Long, what are you afraid of?" The robot instructor also turned his hands behind his back, and the sound of the bones colliding made Tang Long's goosebumps rise. Although Tang Long didn't know why the instructor was asking these questions, he puffed his chest and replied loudly: "Report sir, I'm afraid of mollusk reptiles! And... and ghosts!" Speaking of this, Tang Long secretly glanced at the droid. He has been trained by the instructor for more than a month with perverted training methods, and now he has turned the soldier's movements into his own conditioned reflex.

"Oh? Mollusc creatures and imaginary ghosts?" The robot instructor folded his arms in a very humane way, and touched the metal chin with his snow-white bone hand. Tang Long didn't notice the current appearance of this intelligent robot at all, and he didn't dare to look at the instructor with a skeleton at all. Tang Long didn't dare to open his eyes until he heard the sound of heavy metal objects moving past him into the darkness, and he glanced at the looming metal skeleton hidden in the darkness with lingering fear. Of course, after taking a look, Tang Long immediately ran into the entertainment room like a rabbit, he wanted to get rid of that ominous feeling by playing games.

But when Tang Long just started playing, there was a rush of whistles outside the door, which was the whistle to end the break. Tang Long reluctantly left the game console, and when he came to the door, he found that the hall hadn't turned into daylight as before, but was still completely dark. The ominous feeling became more intense. Just as Tang Long was hesitating about getting out, the power supply in the game room suddenly disappeared, and the entire base was in darkness. Tang Long was so frightened that he hurriedly grasped the pistol tightly. Just as Tang Long was panicking, there was a crackling sound from afar. Hearing the sound, Tang Long knew it was the sound of the robot walking, so he hurriedly opened his eyes wide and looked at the dark place in front of him. After a while, with the sound of footsteps approaching, Tang Long first saw ten green light spots shaking, and then five skeletons that were faintly shining white.Seeing that terrifying scene, the gun that Tang Long was holding tightly in his hand fell down with a snap.But Tang Long didn't pick it up, he didn't want to talk about it now, even the simple action of closing his eyes was too frightened to carry out. Tang Long just watched the five naked robot instructors walk in front of him.The robot's legs were neatly separated, and its hands were behind its back: "Stand at attention!" Hearing this order, Tang Long unconditionally moved his legs together, and gave a military salute with a snap: "Hi, sir!" Then imitate the instructor's appearance with his hands behind his back.Tang Long didn't wake up until these unconscious actions were completed.But now Tang Long has no time to worry about fear. "Now announce the three-month training goals of Private Tang Long! First, to exercise courage, second, to exercise physical fitness, and third, to exercise evasion ability. Ask any questions immediately!" I don't know which robot said this sentence, and I didn't see anyone's mouth moving. Hearing this, Tang Long immediately threw his fear away. His curiosity prevailed, so he immediately raised his hand and asked, "Report to the instructor, what is to exercise courage?" No one answered him, and when Tang Long was about to ask a question, the dark surroundings changed into a spooky forest environment. "This scene is at least slightly better than darkness." Tang Long shivered and thought.But soon he longed to return to the embrace of darkness. Because apart from this gloomy environment, there were also some wriggling things around. Tang Long took a closer look and saw all kinds of soft and slippery snakes, disgusting caterpillars, terrifying scorpions and other soft-bodied reptiles.There are also all kinds of rotting zombies that I have only seen in 3D movies. The disgusting corpse insects actually crawled all over the bodies of these zombies, and kept falling down as the zombies walked. Needless to say, Tang Long immediately screamed when he saw such a terrifying scene.Of course the instructor whipped the whip immediately.Tang Long was chased and whipped several times, but he still couldn't calm down. He desperately shrank towards the corner of the wall, wishing he could squeeze himself into the wall. "As a soldier, you are afraid of these imaginary things, what are you doing! Listen! You will live in such an environment within a month, and the canteen will still open and close on time. If you don't have food during the opening hours, Then you will be hungry for that meal! And you can only use ancient metal weapons to resist these images that attack you. You must know that this is an improved virtual system of the game. If you are attacked by them, the damage you receive is beyond real of." I also don't know which robot said, the voice of the five skeletons fell, and they disappeared into the darkness after leaving behind a large metal knife. Although Tang Long's sanity was about to disappear, he could still retain some sanity because those terrifying things were not close to him. At the same time, he also heard what the instructor said. Of course, he, a game lover, knew this game. This game is a product of the emergence of the virtual reality system a long time ago. It directly transmits information to the brain through the neural sense of touch, making the scene you face have an effect beyond reality. When the game was first tested, among the 100 gamers who participated in the test, the number of mentally disturbed people reached a terrifying number of 90, and these 100 people were all mentally disabled by virtual injuries. It cannot be cured. This psychological disability means that in the game, if the hand is cut off by a monster, the brain thinks it feels real, so it will give up the command function of the intact hand, making the hand become disabled after the game. The game was abandoned before it was finished due to the game's sense of realism beyond reality. Later, it was used to make games such as airplanes and racing cars. Also because of the system beyond reality, players died when they failed. Of course, some people use this system to create pornographic games, but it is a pity that the gamers are still exhausted by this horrible system.This virtual system has also been improved, but after the improvement, it loses the feeling of transcending reality and becomes an ordinary three-dimensional game. Finally, the government issued a strict order to prohibit the development of this kind of virtual reality system, because it is not only dangerous but also makes people unable to distinguish between the real world and the virtual world. So this imprisoned system is called the Grim Reaper system, and the unfinished one is called the Grim Reaper Game. Tang Long didn't expect that the robot would dig out this game of death. If he was not careful, his life would be frozen in minutes. When people face danger and great fear, there will be two manifestations: one is to lose themselves, and the other is to surpass themselves. Although Tang Long faced the things he feared most in his heart, he also knew that fear in this system would only bring death. With the synthesized voice coming from above: "The game is about to start in ten seconds, players please prepare. Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Tang Long jumped up and rushed towards the big knife that had been wrapped in snakes of all sizes. go. He knew that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, and his heart was also surrounded by a hairy feeling, especially when he touched that slippery mollusc creature, he felt that the hair was about to fly out of his scalp. But in the face of the temptation of life, what are these? Tang Long picked up the knife when the voice counted to one, then turned around and ran away.Because the objects that were not moving began to make horrible noises and rushed towards him. "You five metal bastards! I'm ashamed of your thirty-six generations of ancestors! If I don't dismantle you for scrap iron and sell them in a month, my surname will not be Tang!" Tang Long's cursing came out of the forest, and of course it also included: "Go to hell!", "Kill!", "Damn!" These angry shouts and screams. When Tang Long was in great danger, he couldn't remember that there were still people who were always worried about him. Dozens of days ago, the Rad planet hundreds of millions of light years away.In an apartment in a certain city, a person anxiously picked up the three-dimensional phone. This is a woman who still has charm, and she was anxiously waiting for the call to be connected. A three-dimensional image of a middle-aged man appeared, and he saw that the woman was slightly startled, but before she could speak, the woman shouted anxiously: "Tang Long hasn't contacted me for three days, what should I do?" "Three days?" The middle-aged man was obviously taken aback when he heard this, but he hurriedly said, "I think he might not know where he was playing, and he had such a good time, that's why he forgot to call home Bar?" "Impossible! You also know that Tang Long is very obedient, why didn't he contact us for three days. Could something happen to him..." The woman choked up when she said this. The middle-aged man hurriedly comforted: "Our son is so smart that nothing will happen. If something really happened, the police would have notified us... Well, why not report the crime first, Tang Long has an ID card and is very We'll find out where he is soon." The woman who had already burst into tears realized that there was another way to confirm the safety of her son. Of course, she immediately pressed the stereo phone.After a while, a picture of a policewoman in police uniform appeared next to the picture of the middle-aged man. She smiled and asked, "Hello, this is the Federal Police Department. How can I help you?" The woman knew that this was a virtual human being controlled by a computer, so she said without much politeness: "My son is missing. His ID number is LADE0125TANGLONG34140531221." The woman had memorized the number by heart when she was helping her son apply for an ID card. "Okay, please wait a moment." The policewoman was still smiling, and she didn't see any expression on her face, so she stopped for a moment and said, "I found it, Tang Long, male, Lade Star 0125 District native, born in 3414 in the cosmic calendar. Three days ago, he joined the Federation Army on Planet Kaila and is currently undergoing military training." "What?!" Both the woman and the head of the middle-aged man who was listening at the same time showed expressions of shock and disbelief.They didn't expect their son to become a soldier after only three days of absence. "It's impossible, it's impossible! How could he be a soldier? It's impossible..." The woman shook her head in disbelief. The middle-aged man was more courageous, and quickly woke up from the shocking news. He comforted the woman: "If you are a soldier, you will be a soldier. Anyway, there is no war now. At most, you will be a three-year conscript. The guy has nothing to do all day long, and his body is so poor, it will be better for him to go to the army for training." The woman just couldn't accept it at first, but she soon came to her senses. She felt that nothing happened to her son, so she let go of the stone in her heart.And as my husband said, now is an era of peace, and it is good to join the army for exercise, anyway, it is not impossible to visit. So she wiped away her tears and asked the policewoman, "What training camp is he in?" The policewoman paused again before saying, "I'm sorry, this is a military secret and cannot be found." The middle-aged man was stunned for a while. He had never heard that the training camp was classified as a military secret. If the training camp was kept secret, it would be strange if the parents of the recruits did not protest, so he asked strangely: "This is impossible, You check carefully.” Conference calls have been available for thousands of years, so a middle-aged man can still talk to a policewoman even though he’s on another phone. "OK." After the policewoman finished speaking, she kept that smile still, this time she remained silent for a longer time.The couple looked at the policewoman anxiously. After a long time, the policewoman shook her head: "Sorry, the secrecy of his training camp is SS-level, and even the federal marshal can't know. Is there anything else I need to help?" The middle-aged man opened his mouth and couldn't close it. He is a businessman with a lot of status, so he knows the secret code of the country's ultimate weapon to reach S-level, and now his son's training camp is actually SS-level!What kind of training camp will that be? The businessman's keen intuition made him feel that his son had fallen into a very dangerous vortex, so he hurriedly stopped his wife who was still trying to say something, and told the policewoman that there was nothing wrong. Seeing that the policewoman disappeared before she could explain clearly, the woman asked dissatisfiedly, "What's going on? What is SS rank? Where is Tang Long?" The middle-aged man showed a serious expression and said: "Don't ask so many questions. When I come back and explain to you, you have to remember that in the future when someone asks where Tang Long has gone, you just say that you went to study abroad. No matter who asks that , you have to answer like this, because it is related to Tang Long's life safety. Well, you wait for me at home, and I will be back soon." Seeing her husband's serious expression, the woman couldn't help being stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a serious expression on her husband's face. Although she didn't know what happened, she nodded to show her understanding for the safety of her son. A few hours later, a middle-aged man appeared next to the woman, and after explaining the meaning of SS to her, the woman was also taken aback. They decided not to ask about their son for the time being, but they also felt strange, they knew best what kind of person their son was, could such an ordinary boy participate in SS-class affairs? In fact, Tang Long's parents were too worried. They said before that the federal terminal computer is a smart computer, and "her" only friends are those five robots who lived the same age as "her". Since the existence of the 23rd Regiment was discovered hundreds of years ago, it was almost destroyed. In order to protect her friends, "she" has designated the 23rd Regiment as the top secret of the state, and no one can inquire about it. This time, it was only because Tang Long was the first to apply for the 23rd Regiment in hundreds of years that he left traces in the computer to find out.But now even if Tang Long's parents wanted to check, they couldn't find it, because all the information was revised after "she" learned that someone was looking for the 23rd Regiment. It was also because of this incident that "she" became interested in Tang Long, the only human being who appeared in the 23rd Regiment. A month later, five robots with naked metal skeletons appeared in the hall. With their appearance, the gloomy forest in the hall disappeared, and the entire white environment was restored. A man with dirty and tattered military uniform, long hair, and a thin build sits cross-legged in the center of the hall with his head down. He holds a metal knife that has been scanned by too many lasers and has become like a laser knife in his hand. Jojo's murderous aura was coming out of him. The disappearance of the forest did not cause the man to look up, and the presence of the robot at his side did not make him respond. The five robot instructors looked at the soldier and listened to the synthesized voice from above: "Tang Long, the game player, the game time is 29 days and 21 hours, 35 minutes and 53 seconds, destroy the enemy 186 0 four." The robot was slightly taken aback when they heard the number. When they first heard the time, they guessed that Tang Long should kill 860 or 4 enemies at most. ten thousand. "Good job, Tang Long. After living this month, I believe that your inner fear has disappeared." Just after the robot finished speaking, Tang Long raised his eyes and stared at him. The robot, who had never known fear, suddenly realized that he was afraid to face Tang Long's eyes. This is also because they are intelligent robots, and they have the same emotions as humans to behave like this.Otherwise, Tang Long's sharp eyes would be as useless as threatening the computer. Now that Tang Long saw these skeleton robots, he didn't feel afraid at all. He almost slept on dead bodies this month. Although it was virtual, it was very real. To him, such a skeleton man simply frightened children, so he jumped up angrily and raised his knife to slash at the robot. I have lived a non-human life for a month. The attacks of those virtual monsters not only make me feel pain, but also the squirming, sticky and disgusting feel of those bugs sticking to my body is very real, and those zombies splash when they are hacked to death. The dead insects, corpse water, and rotten pieces of meat sprinkled more wonderful things and more good books with the smell, all in www. 5 1 7 z . com. These are nothing. Although I was scared at first, it became numb over time.What's annoying is that eating, going to the toilet, sleeping, these disgusting things will follow behind. When you go to the toilet, you have to chop the zombies who are peeking, and beware of the zombie hands sticking out of the toilet to touch the butt.When sleeping, you have to be awake all the time, otherwise you will be kissed secretly in your sleep.When it comes to eating, he vomits very much. The way those corpse insects fall from the owner and squirm in the food can make him unable to eat for three days.Although I don't know how heavy it is now, I can be sure that I must be a human being now.So the angry Tang Long desperately hacked at the robot to vent. However, although the metal knife looks like a laser knife, it is not after all, so apart from the sound of collision, only Tang Long's hands feel numb, and the metal of the robot is not ordinary hard. "Oh my god!" Tang Long, who hadn't been shocked for more than 20 days, was whipped a few times, dropped his sword, and rolled on the ground. "You attacked the officer with a sharp weapon, and you will be punished for three hundred push-ups! If you don't finish it, you will have no food!" The robot who was slashed by Tang Long said coldly. It was only then that Tang Long remembered that the five guys in front of him were different from those zombies that could be chopped into pieces, they were all invincible and inhuman robot chiefs.Knowing current affairs, he hurriedly stood up and stood at attention: "It's the officer! @#x&%*..." He also remembered that as long as he said something about the officer first, he could use swear words to these guys.So he's doing push-ups while swearing out the swear words he's learned so well this month. There is no way, this month we are facing enemies who can't speak human language, how can we not kill them while swearing?If you don't speak for a month, you will become dumb. Facing the threat of death often this month, Tang Long's physical fitness has long been extraordinary. Although he almost couldn't get up after finishing the 300 push-ups, it was only a near miss, so he was still able to stand there at attention . "Very well, now you take a rest. For the two months starting tomorrow, we will conduct a combination of evasion training and physical training." The robot instructor said coldly. When Tang Long heard this, he immediately stood at attention and fell down, with a snoring sound at the same time.You know he hasn't had a good night's sleep for so long. When the five robots saw that Tang Long had fallen, they all scanned Tang Long with red light from their eyes, and then they walked to Tang Long's head and limbs to stand up. I didn't see how they moved. The floor under Tang Long supported Tang Long to rise slowly, and stopped when he reached the waist of the robot. At this time, the robot's green electronic eyes suddenly turned blue, and ten blue lights began to sweep back and forth on Tang Long's body.Ten minutes later, Tang Long's dark and dry skin returned to a healthy color. At this time, the robot's blue eyes also returned to green, but it seemed that the green light was not as bright as before.Finally, one of the robots picked up Tang Long and walked towards Tang Long's residence. The remaining four robots were still standing in place. Although they didn't move, they started talking: "It seems that our energy can't last for a year." "No way, who told us to activate Tang Long's cells every three to five days to boost his metabolism. How can he support such intense training without doing this?" "Hehe, Tang Long is quite powerful even if you think about it. After staying inside for a month, he didn't have any sequelae." "Also, if I didn't perform consciousness hypnosis on him every night, he would be disabled even if he wasn't crazy." "Don't take credit for it. In the remaining two months, he needs to strengthen his physical training and actual combat skills. The next few months will be strategy, battleship command and air combat skills." "That's not enough, I still think of a lot of things to teach him, such as some courses on controlling the mind, courses on espionage..." "Okay, you want to turn him into a special soldier?" "It's not a special soldier, I want to train him to be an all-around soldier." If you didn't look at the four robots standing still, and just listened with your ears, you must have thought that a few very good friends were discussing something enthusiastically. At this time, the robot that sent Tang Long back to the dormitory came out, and the four robots stopped discussing, and all looked back at the robot. "Needless to say, we acted according to the plan. Our only student can't just be an ordinary soldier, and we need to strengthen the training of his ability to command the overall situation!" This robot is obviously the head of the five people. When he said this with his hands behind his back, the other four people put their legs together and saluted, "Yes!"
