Chapter 343 The Real Strategy!
The Secretary of State was completely dumbfounded.
He stood there, eyes wide, unable to recover his senses for a long time!
He had gone to such trouble to gather these hackers and network experts, hoping for a grand undertaking, only for them to fall apart just like that?
Didn't you all just say you were going to put in the effort and crack the Spirit Realm?
How did you all surrender the moment the possibility of a banned identity was mentioned?
These people were no different from traitors; just to avoid being unbanned, they were thinking about becoming dogs for the Dragon Kingdom!
Soon, there were hardly any people left in the conference room.
Dr. Watson had not yet left. Seeing the Secretary of State's flustered and disheveled appearance, he walked up and asked slowly:
"Mr. Secretary of State, does what you said earlier still count?"
"Are you willing to lend us your nutrient pod?"
The Secretary of State instinctively wanted to say yes. After all, he thought that since these people were already banned, even if he lent it to them, they wouldn't be able to use their own nutrient pod anyway. But before the words left his mouth, he saw Dr. Watson continue unhurriedly:
"I have an idea that might crack the Spirit Realm, but this method could potentially ban your machine, and even your identity."
"However, Mr. Secretary of State, aren't you concerned about the country?"
"You shouldn't mind being unable to log into the Spirit Realm in the future, right!"
Upon hearing this, the Secretary of State was about to bite the bullet and say he didn't mind, but he quickly realized what was happening. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked in return:
"What did you say? You said it would ban my identity?"
"This... this won't do!"
Dr. Watson remained calm, adjusted his glasses, and said:
"There is that possibility, but it's very low, about ten percent."
Although it was only ten percent, the moment the Secretary of State imagined that he might never be able to enter the wonderful world of the Spirit Realm for the rest of his life, he immediately began to stammer!
Memories of the happy times he spent in the Spirit Realm kept flashing through his mind—those realistic scenes and marvelous experiences. If he could never enjoy them again...
He might as well just kill himself!
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said:
"Um... Dr. Watson, actually, my identity being banned is a small matter. It's just that I suddenly remembered that our country might need to build relevant work platforms on the Spirit Realm in the future. If my identity is banned, the follow-up work won't be easy to carry out!"
"This doesn't just affect my personal entertainment; it's a major issue concerning national development. So... let's shelve this plan for a while!"
Dr. Watson chuckled inwardly!
He knew this was an excuse the Secretary of State had come up with, but he didn't expose it!
He then shrugged, looking indifferent, and said:
"Alright then! Since you've said so, that's how it has to be. However, cracking it will likely be even harder from now on."
After saying that, Dr. Watson turned and walked out of the conference room!
Following his departure, only the Secretary of State remained in the large conference room!
In the empty room, only his slightly lonely figure remained!
This undoubtedly declared that their ambitious cracking plan had completely failed!
It is said that one who has no desires is strong, but these people all had deep desires for the Spirit Realm world and couldn't let go of the happy experiences within it. This meant they were fundamentally unable to take any effective restrictive measures against the Spirit Realm!
Once they encountered a situation that might jeopardize their use of the Spirit Realm, they all retreated, and their previous grand words turned into bubbles.
As Dr. Watson just walked out of The Pentagon, the sunlight shining on him couldn't disperse the trace of gloom in his heart at all.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang, the ringtone sounding particularly crisp outside the quiet building.
Dr. Watson took out his phone and looked at it; the caller ID was actually the absent Dr. Fland!
He answered the phone: "Fland, I've already found an excuse to cover for your absence!"
"You must pull yourself together; you cannot continue to be addicted to the Spirit Realm!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, with only slightly heavy breathing audible!
After about ten seconds, Fland's voice, filled with despair, rang out:
"It's over, Dr. Watson!"
"Because of that damn anti-addiction system..."
"My identity was... by the Dragon Kingdom..."
"Banned!!!!!!"
...
The Dragon Kingdom.
To allow more people to fully utilize the Spirit Realm and improve production efficiency, rather than just using it for entertainment, the Dragon Kingdom specially launched a program.
This program aimed to fully showcase the side of the Spirit Realm that could improve productivity to the vast user base, letting everyone see that the Spirit Realm wasn't just a virtual world for amusement, but could also play a huge role in areas like learning and work.
Of course, while showcasing these practical functions, it could also attract more potential users. After all, this way they could confidently tell their families that they didn't buy this equipment just for play, but for learning and work!
It's just like when some people buy an iPad, thinking they'll use it for studying or practicing drawing, but after they actually buy it, they often just use it to watch shows, play games, or cover their instant noodles!
However, this program did have real, tangible effects!
It could genuinely improve users' efficiency in utilizing the Spirit Realm.
For example, as often mentioned in the program, one could use the Spirit Realm to study and conduct scientific research and experiments.
This was because the Spirit Realm possessed a physics engine identical to reality, which meant that researchers could conduct test work there that was quite complex and difficult to operate in reality!
Moreover, the results obtained from experiments done here were exactly the same as in reality, and more importantly, efficiency could be multiplied.
To give a simple example, if one wanted to conduct an experiment on whether a large ball and a small ball would fall simultaneously when dropped from a high altitude!
If it were in reality, one would have to painstakingly find two balls of the same size, find a suitable high building as the experimental site, and also equip recorders, testers, and other staff. The whole process was both troublesome and time-consuming.
But in the Spirit Realm, it was much simpler. One only needed to use development permissions, explain their idea to the Artificial Intelligence, or build the scene themselves, and they could easily see an experimental scene comparable to reality!
One person could handle everything.
Of course, this was just the most basic experiment. For more complex research projects, they could almost all be realized in the Spirit Realm with the help of its powerful functions.
Once this function was demonstrated, it won the favor of scientists from various countries. Everyone was like they had discovered a new continent; they were all attracted, scrambling to enter the Spirit Realm to begin free research!
They all wanted to use this magical platform to take their research work to the next level.
However, what they didn't know was that while they were focused on their research, the Artificial Intelligence acting as their assistant was quietly packaging their research data and sending it to a certain young man surnamed Su.
In an independent area of the Spirit Realm that was detached from the main world, Su Chen was sitting leisurely in a comfortable chair, watching with focused eyes the data that the Artificial Intelligence had packaged and arranged in stacks in front of him.
That data was neatly laid out, with each document marked with a different research topic!
Su Chen's gaze swept over the listed data one by one, and the more he looked, the more interesting he found it.
"Research on Resurrecting the Mammoth!"
"Research on the Correlation Between Quantum Tunneling and Biological Energy Currency ATP"
"Research on the Existence of the Soul and Resurrection Functions"
"Research on Dark Matter Particle Detection and Space Elevator Concepts"...
The research topics on these documents were varied, many of them imaginative and unconstrained, which made Su Chen incredibly excited!
Moreover, he could feel the system within him stirring, as if it had seen the thing it desired most; that excitement was just like discovering an endless treasure.
Su Chen even dared to believe that these seemingly unreachable, fantastical research projects could all potentially become reality through the power of the system!
However, these current research topics were not the ones Su Chen particularly wanted to pursue; he was still hoping to find content that better aligned with his own ideas.
Thus, he continued to scan through the research data with great interest!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
As if he had discovered a treasure...
