Chapter 1454: Chapter 791: Virtual World “Superconductor”! (Part 2)

This is also one of the reasons why the opposing side’s Aerial Fortress technology is more advanced than that of the Federation.

Secondly, in terms of bionic technology, due to the Tinder Company’s abuse of this technology and the Eastern Continent’s civilization placing greater importance on scientific ethics, bionic technology has always been resisted.

But the West Continent is different. People there have no taboos; they build whatever is useful to them. Even if the West Continent is full of Clones, Qing Chen wouldn’t be too surprised.

Furthermore, in terms of robot development, the West Continent has already started manufacturing highly bionic robots, and they are fully integrated into everyday life, unlike the Federation which only uses them for war.

Additionally, without network hunters like Li Shentan in the West Continent, could there already be many people uploading their consciousness to the network? Certainly!

The Federation, in an effort to boost productivity, is working hard to prevent the masses from becoming completely engrossed in the network, but what about the West Continent? Could they already have highly advanced virtual network technology?

Lastly, could the West Continent also have… a super artificial intelligence like Zero?

Qing Chen couldn’t be certain; the birth of Zero was accidental, and the birth of One was Zero’s masterpiece. In the field of artificial intelligence, breaking from 0 to 1 could take decades or even thousands of years, much like how humanity took tens of thousands of years to suddenly learn how to use fire.

At this thought, Qing Chen became curious about the world of the West Continent.

Could it be another type of Cyberpunk World?

As Qing Chen pondered, One unexpectedly went back to change clothes: “Which one looks better, this set or the one I wore earlier?”

Qing Chen said earnestly, “Both look good.”

“Alright then,” One said: “I’ll go look at the others; there are so many clothes to choose from.”

Qing Chen asked, “What level is this robot?”

One thought for a moment and said: “Although it’s flexible enough, it doesn’t have powerful strength or a power core, so it’s just an ordinary household robot and can’t be used for combat. But I checked the Kingdom members’ chat content and found that robots can be DIY modified, with Roosevelt Robotics Company providing various selections. You can choose more powerful nano-skin, select bodyguard components…”

“Bodyguard components?” Qing Chen was puzzled.

One nodded and said: “Yes, it’s a package that includes firearms built into the mechanical arm, along with a slightly better power core…”

“Can you select higher configurations?” Qing Chen asked.

“Of course, I heard them say you could even choose a Nuclear-powered Mechanical Heart equipped with powerful pulse weapons and pulse flight kits.”

Qing Chen was stunned. Isn’t this essentially Iron Man’s setup? And yet the West Continent has made such configurations available for civilian selection!?

If war breaks out, the individual combat abilities would be severely lacking on the Eastern Continent.

However, One seemed a bit dejected: “But it seems like I can’t select them.”

“Why,” Qing Chen asked curiously.

“Their societal class is divided into Nobles, Citizens, Freemen, and Slaves,” One said: “Only the Nobles can select the best components. Moreover, those things are very expensive, and I don’t have their currency.”

Qing Chen noticed that One had just obtained a new body and was very fond of it, also having a strong interest in those customizable parts.

It’s like children playing nurturing games, always wanting to make their character stronger.

Even for One, it’s no different from Qing Chen and the others working hard in their practice to become stronger.

Qing Chen suddenly said: “Things that others have, I’ll help you get them too.”

One’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

She extended her pinky finger: “Pinky promise, no take-backs!”

Qing Chen hooked his pinky with hers but felt a bit strange…

He instructed: “If you encounter a suitable island for human survival, pause briefly, let the African and Asian people off the Aerial Fortress, provide them with enough resources and tools, let them fend for themselves, and maybe they can establish a small Kingdom there.”

“You’re not taking them to the West Continent with us?” One asked curiously.

“No, once the Kingslander arrives there, it could crash at any time, and there’s no need to drag them down with us,” Qing Chen said.

Although staying on a deserted island would be tough, it was all Qing Chen could do.

“Alright, according to their navigation map, there will be an island in two days, which was originally one of the bases the Kingdom organization selected for progression, but later was not chosen due to deviating too far from the route,” One said: “By the way, there are particularly fun things on the Aerial Fortress!”

Saying this, One unabashedly grabbed Qing Chen’s wrist and turned to run to the white people’s activity area on the third floor.

At this time, those Africans were still gathered here, unaware of what had happened.

They saw Qing Chen return alive and were momentarily at a loss.

In their imagination, there were more than a thousand white combat members on the Aerial Fortress, including the powerful Nikita.

With such a massive combat group, killing one person would be simple, right?

So, the African brothers waited here obediently, expecting Nikita to lead people and drive them back to the fourth floor.

In the end, instead of waiting for Nikita, they saw Qing Chen return…

What the heck? Could it be that the passage between the second and third floors is sealed, so this kid actually survived? But everyone clearly heard gunshots earlier!

Qing Chen looked at them and said: “Don’t just stand there, find suitable tools yourselves. In 2 days, you’ll all be placed on a deserted island where, apart from food, each person can take two items from the Aerial Fortress with them. As to whether you can survive and how well, it’s all up to you. Go have fun.”

After explaining all this, One led Qing Chen to the door of an independent room, where he looked at the plaque on the door: Virtual Warehouse.

“Wait, what is this place?” Qing Chen asked, confused.

“From the mouth of the Kingdom members, during their rest days, they can connect to a virtual network called ‘Superconductor’ through the neurons here. It’s like a city with everything in it, much like accessing the internet with computers and phones in the Federation. Soldiers can reunite with their families, girlfriends, or wives in ‘Superconductor’ during their rest on the Aerial Fortress.”

Qing Chen was stunned. The Federation uses neuron connection technology for controlling drones, War Robots, Mechanical Hunting Dogs, and possession.

Meanwhile, the West Continent has popularized this technology for civilian use, developing an entire Virtual World!

No, Qing Chen suddenly realized, this is also due to the environmental differences between the East-West Continent.

In the Federation, development is two hundred years behind. The five major conglomerates govern separately; cities have raised city walls, requiring visas to enter and exit, and the networks are isolated, so the core direction of research leans towards military applications.

However, the West Continent has been unified for many years, and with improved living standards, entertainment branches naturally developed.

In some ways, the West Continent is more like the traditional definition of Cyberpunk.

The door of the Virtual Warehouse opened, revealing neatly arranged hibernation pods inside. Qing Chen asked: “What verification credentials are needed to enter Superconductor? Identity ID, DNA, or iris?”

“Brainwaves,” One explained: “Everyone’s brainwaves are unique, much like DNA… Unfortunately, I don’t have a brain, so I have no brainwaves. Go in and play, then tell me what it’s like inside!”

Qing Chen was both amused and frustrated: “Don’t say you have no brain.”

“Oh.”

Qing Chen slowly lay down inside. As a circle of green light scanned over him from the Virtual Warehouse, he suddenly felt…his consciousness seemed to connect with some kind of Mysterious World.

He gradually let his guard down, drifting into darkness.

The next moment, he found himself in a pure white room, with no walls around, only soft white light.

In front of him was a mirror, but it reflected no one.

A gentle voice said: “Welcome to the decentralized world ‘Superconductor.’ A new brainwave has been detected, identified as a new player, please start by selecting your avatar.”
