Playing games should definitely involve playing with friends.

Chapter 821 Playing games should definitely involve playing with friends.

"The test results are in. Apart from the neural transmission device, this VR headset can indeed affect the brain by releasing electromagnetic signals, keeping the brain in a state of continuous excitement."

Dr. Connors returned to the control room with a helmet and saw Spider-Man fiddling with it with Amadeus. Curious, he asked, "What are you two doing?"

"We're trying to see if we can play the games on a normal computer or talk to the 'admin' inside. Amadeus has already logged in and is checking the backend, but it seems there's no brainwave signal, so the game program can't register properly."

Peter spoke while looking at the computer, while Amadeus kept editing, then scratched his head: "I'm not entirely sure, but I feel... uh, the game's underlying code doesn't seem to be written in a binary programming language. You see, after these things are read, besides the known 0s and 1s, there's a lot of blank data, and the blanks are intermittent. There's no way to tell what the base is yet, but it's definitely not 2 or the exponent of 2."

Amadeus looked at the keyboard and then turned to Peter: "This isn't even ternary, it's not even known what base it is. What exactly is Ultron's underlying code? What kind of computer program is it?"

“Hank Pym scanned his own brainwaves and used them to create Ultron.” Peter finished speaking and then asked, “Now, is it important to ensure the landing is safe? If anyone encounters a problem inside, can we just pull them out? Or prevent Ultron from entering other people’s brains?”

"Well, I'll give it a try. It seems the terminal's program is at least binary. But if you're really worried about Ultron invading your brain, you'd better find an AI expert, like Hank Pym, or someone else."

"How about contacting my dad?" Harry was already sitting to the side eating potato chips. "Didn't he work on another super artificial intelligence before? The Green Goblin AI?"

Peter was puzzled after hearing this: "Isn't that just your dad's Green Goblin personality copying his consciousness onto the internet? Can that be considered artificial intelligence?"

Harry thought for a moment, then answered very honestly: "I don't see any difference between this and Ultron."

"The difference is probably that your dad isn't as smart as Pym, so even though Green Goblin's AI has been developing for so long, it's still not as threatening as Ultron, who wasn't even two years old yet."

After Amadeus finished his rant and typed out the code, he said, "It's done. If any abnormal data transmission is detected, it can be physically cut off, provided that our computer hasn't been hacked by Ultron. So my advice is not to take the risk, or if you can trust the Ultron at your Avengers base, you can ask him to protect you."

"That's no different from me just wearing the helmet directly. Anyway, I can make my soul leave my body, so I'm not afraid of data transmission. By the way, can Ultron control this VR helmet to burn a person's brain?"

Amadeus paused for a moment: "You mean something like Sword Art Online?"

"I'm talking about Sword Art Online."

"What is Sword Art Online?" Harry asked curiously. Peter simply replied "Japanese anime" before looking at Amadeus, who was checking the code. Amadeus gave a rather direct answer: "Theoretically, it's possible, but practically it's not. The helmet's built-in battery isn't strong enough to overload it, so as long as you unplug the wire in time, you'll be fine. Oh, and Ultron invading your brain can be solved using the same method. Unbelievable, I even wrote a program to deal with all of this."

"..."

Peter paused for a moment, then sighed, took off his hood, and put on his helmet. "Alright, I'm going to go into the game world to find Ultron. Remember to keep an eye on things for me, and unplug the power if anything happens."

"Wait, you're playing games without me?"

Harry was completely bewildered: "Aren't we friends?" Peter was even more bewildered. He looked Harry up and down several times before saying uncertainly, "I'm not playing a video game, I'm going to save the world, man."

“I know, but Ultron is an AI with underlying logic, right? It can’t break its own rules or the rules set for it by others, right?”

Harry picked up his helmet as he spoke: "Besides, pulling the wires will solve everything. I may not be able to help you in other areas, Peter, but when it comes to video games, I can definitely lend a hand."

"……are you sure?"

"I'm sure Amadeus said there would be no danger as long as the wires were pulled, right?"

“Amadeus, what happened to you…” Peter didn’t even finish his sentence, because Amadeus had already put on the game helmet and just looked at Peter: “What’s wrong?”

"You're going too."

“You might not believe it, but I’m a gaming expert,” Amadeus said with a serious expression.

……

No, I think it's better for me to believe.

Peter sighed with a hint of helplessness, then shook his head with a wry smile, before looking at Dr. Connors: "Dr. Connors, you wouldn't..."

"I'm not going to play games anymore. After all, I have a lot of things to do, especially considering that I only have one arm. Peter, I need to remind you that if anything happens to you, I might not be able to unplug all the wires in time, since I only have one hand."

Peter then turned back to look at the two guys and found them slumped over the control panel, unconscious. They had obviously logged in. Peter sighed, put on his helmet, wove a hammock out of spider webs, lay down on it, and started the game.

A white light appeared before his eyes, and the next second he found himself in a pure white space. He stretched out his hand to look at it and found that it was just a phantom, semi-transparent arm: "I thought... it would be more realistic."

Technology has limited my ability to create virtual worlds, Spider-Man, please forgive me.

Ultron appeared before Peter, then raised his hand and gave him a model that was accurate, but still not realistic enough. Peter looked around, then back at Ultron: "I thought you were going to create a more... archaic interface, Ultron."

A single virtual world cannot satisfy everyone's desires and needs, Spider-Man. Therefore, I want to create a virtual space where all players can experience the world of their dreams.
