Three Difficulties, A Thorny Choice!
Question: If you were given the opportunity to build your own virtual world, what would you think of? (After being enlightened by Su Deben)
With Lü Kuan's help, Su Mo's first thought upon connecting to the Virtual Reality terminal for the first time was this.
It is completely different from the world that has already been built.
In the terminal, after creating a new world, the entire visible area is a vast expanse of white, filled with large, distinguishable pixels.
Looking down, Su Mo saw himself in the virtual world.
It is basically no different from the real world.
"Su Mo, I have granted you all the permissions for creation. You can now use your mind to directly alter this world."
"Note that you should try to avoid involving anything unfounded. Choosing creatures that have appeared in your memory will significantly reduce our computing power requirements."
"As for the environment, that doesn't matter. You can try to make it more detailed to help us simulate real situations!"
Lü Kuan's thunderous voice echoed from all corners of the world.
The entire void reverberated.
Furthermore, after Lü Kuan's voice fell.
Su Mo felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, as if he had deeply resonated with this world.
Information was transmitted in real time through neuronal signal pulses.
Having grasped this information and gained a preliminary understanding of Lü Kuan's so-called creative authority, Su Mo raised his right hand:
"I say, this world should have continents, a sky, a sun, a moon, flowing water, grass, and flowers."
Boom! The voice stopped, and the virtual world began to change wildly! The previous white pixels began to disappear rapidly, and in their place, other different colored blocks flew out of nothingness and assembled together like building blocks.
According to what Su Mo had in mind.
In less than ten seconds, the previously empty world became complete.
Beneath our feet lies solid ground covered in lush green grass.
Above, the sky was a pure, unblemished blue.
Insects chirped, birds sang, and streams murmured.
Like a dream world, for a moment, Su Mo had a strange feeling.
A strange feeling of having 100% control! "What an amazing feeling!"
"It's unheard of for images transmitted through bioelectric stimulation of the brain to produce such positive feedback."
The improvement in strength brings mental pleasure.
But this amazing Virtual Reality simulation can even create a degree of this sense of pleasure.
"If this technology can be upgraded and modified to adapt to all living organisms, reduce computing power requirements, and further increase the simulation accuracy, it could achieve 80% of the effect of a system Training Ground."
"I'm afraid that if it went to a higher dimension, it would unleash a terrifying storm!"
As memories slowly flowed out, the whole world began to gradually become real.
More and more details are being filled in.
I have seen the systematic Training Ground.
Su Mo knew far more about this technology than Lü Kuan and others.
At the same time, he also realized just how terrifying the limits of this technology truly are.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the other party is still a living being, still possessing the most basic biological instincts.
Therefore, this kind of technology, which is similar to a creator and can bring an ultimate biological experience, will definitely capture their hearts.
"It seems that future development strategies might place some emphasis on Virtual Reality as well."
"Perhaps at a critical moment, this technology could become one of my trump cards!"
Nodding and silently taking this to heart, Su Mo cleared his mind and began to carefully manipulate the virtual world to simulate reality.
After a while.
After three large-scale simulations were completed, Su Mo looked up at the sky.
"Alright, let me out now!"
call.
The sun and moon reverse, and heaven and earth stretch across the sky.
When Su Mo regained his sight, he found himself back in front of the stool where the computing server was located.
Before me was a robot with a slightly anxious expression.
Once Su Mo had adjusted to the outside world, Lü Kuan, who was controlling the robot, said:
"How was it? Did the simulation go smoothly? I see the computing power on the panel is consistently around 80%. Could there be a problem?"
Humans are very adaptable.
When simulating other environments on a daily basis, Lü Kuan and his colleagues rarely utilize more than 70% of the computing power; most of the time, they operate at half load, which is around 50%.
However, after Su Mo entered the real world for the first time, running at full load with computing power at 110% throughout the process.
Lü Kuan actually felt that 80% was too low! "No, this simulation was very successful. Although we don't know the enemy's information, I now roughly know how to choose."
"Release Uncle Su, and then we can discuss this further!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Kuan skillfully retreated, and Su Deben re-entered the game.
"It worked?"
Su Mo nodded. "Success!"
"Regarding the enemy in the three simulations, I didn't make many settings; I just based them on my memories of the alien races I had encountered before."
"In the first simulation, I chose the Small Tribe Gathering Place in the lower right corner. After repeated testing, our survival probability there was 100% every time."
Su Deben exclaimed excitedly, "Isn't that great?"
"No, but the computing power tells me the potential is only 23%."
"This means that even if we reclaim this place, our development and expansion will be affected by other locations. We may face pressure from several directions before we have fully developed, so it is not the best option!"
"And in the second location, which is in the middle, the computing power tells me that the survival probability is also 100%, but the potential here is actually lower than that in the lower right corner!"
Simulation using computing power.
After roughly constructing the New Continent, the group will face a new situation.
Unlike human brain guesses, computing power will only be faithful to the data.
The calculation of potential is also strange. When the magnitude of the disaster is less than 10, the potential of the central position is high.
However, when the magnitude of the disaster increases, the central government's potential value will plummet to rock bottom in an instant, which is truly tragic.
"I can roughly guess the specific reason, but that doesn't matter. What about the third one?"
Su Mo said in a deep voice, "The potential assessment value for the third confrontation with these Large Tribes is 79%, which is the highest among the three. Moreover, the resource development score can reach 92 points, which means we can avoid a lot of trouble. However, the tricky thing is that our survival probability is not 100% if we choose this location."
"26%!"
Su Deben was stunned. "So low? No way?"
Having witnessed the composition of all the combat forces in the village, I know the increase in strength brought about by the accumulation of resources.
As the head coach, Su Deben knew very well just how terrifying these 1,400-plus people could be when they unleashed their power.
But this number.
It was Su Mo before the simulation.
Neither of them expected this at all.
The current Vault as a whole will have its biggest trump card, the Hope, disabled after the Real Survival Version is released.
But thanks to the bullets and guns that were hastily produced during this period.
Fighting a battle involving tens of thousands of people might be difficult, but Su Mo was confident that he could take down a battle involving a thousand people without taking any damage.
Furthermore, after taking root in the New Continent.
With the current reserves of Hope Village, even without the help of the game's intermediate machine tools...
After a period of development, they will be able to quickly find a way to make hand-operated machine tools for producing bullets.
With a continuous supply of reserves, the territory will be virtually impregnable as long as the enemy doesn't risk their lives.
But now.
"This number, this short sword, before I imported its data, still gave us a 100% chance of survival, without any doubt. In the simulation of computing power, even if all these alien races combined attacked our territory, we could completely defend it with our guns, and even launch a counterattack."
Su Mo pulled out his Dwarf Short Sword and placed it on the table, his face expressionless.
"When I connected this sword, our survival rate plummeted to 49%. In the simulation, if the enemy alien race all possessed this weapon, even with ample ammunition, it would be difficult to defend our territory using only guns. We can only improve our survival rate by continuing to develop, building cannons, tanks, and other firepower weapons."
"This 26% probability comes from a simulation I conducted using computing power, assuming the enemy has more powerful weapons. If the power and range of such weapons double, our survival probability drops to around 41%; if it doubles, it drops to 32%; and if it triples, it drops to 26%."
Su Deben countered, "What if it's increased fivefold, or tenfold?"
"Five times 12.7%"
"Ten times. 2.1%!"
Robots don't need to breathe.
But after hearing Su Mo say the probability of 2.1%, a hissing sound could be clearly heard coming from the loudspeaker.
In fact, when the survival probability drops below 100%, this data itself becomes meaningless.
The probability of surviving is always either 0 or 1.
The computing power is simply faithful to the situation, having simulated it thousands of times, giving the probability of winning and the probability of losing.
Among them, it is like when the power is ten times stronger.
The computing power simulated a total of 5,000 battle scenarios.
Hope Village lost 4,895 matches and won 105 matches.
It seemed like there was still a chance, but after providing more data, Su Mo discovered...
Even if we win.
Hope Village is basically abandoned.
Productivity becomes obsolete, population becomes obsolete, territory becomes obsolete.
Let alone continuing to weather the disaster, even survival itself will become a difficult problem.
Such a devastating victory makes no difference whether it exists or not.
"Su Mo, I bet you've made your decision by now, and you can probably guess what my opinion is."
Taking a deep breath, Su Deben continued, "We have no way out."
"In the scenario simulated by computing power, we are all flat individuals with no difference, but I believe that Lü Kuan and his group can be worth a hundred people, I can be worth a thousand people, and you can be worth ten thousand people!"
"With all our elite combat forces combined, if war were to break out and disaster were to strike, it's truly uncertain who would win and who would lose."
"But if we back down, it's like handing over our chance to move forward. You make the decision!"
After speaking...
Su Deben sat upright, his gaze fixed on Su Mo's face.
His expression was extremely clear, and he seemed to have no fear whatsoever, but in his heart he was extremely uneasy.
If he were the decision-maker today, he would definitely choose the safest place without hesitation, develop slowly, and plan for greater things.
But now that we understand Su Mo's influence and the relationship between humans and other races...
It seems that only one option remains.
"Haha, Uncle Su, guess what I'll choose?"
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become serious, Su Mo was taken aback and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He smiled.
Su Deben relaxed completely and started laughing.
"You little rascal, I knew it!"
