Deceitful Game

Chapter 237 Thought Crime

The moment Lin Ya heard Mingpo's gentle voice, her body trembled even more violently.

At that time, Mingpo's gun wasn't even pressed against her forehead.

This made Mingpao even more convinced...

She must truly know herself.

That would be strange.

How could the mining machines in the R&D department know my intelligence?

Although not a fraudster, after handling many such incidents, Mingpo has come to understand some of the working modes of the company's mining machines. Generally speaking, Gaotian Life's mining machines have two basic working modes.

One is called "continuous harvesting mode", and the other is called "fishing mode".

Typically, miners operate on a continuous mining model. They use the memory-burning technology of the High Heaven Lifeforms to directly burn a technology into the brain. Although the technology has improved in recent years, in earlier years, this burning process could even damage original memories and personality. Afterwards, they would be confined to their workshops.

Each workshop is equipped with a fully-equipped laboratory, connected to the internet in real time, ensuring a comfortable living environment. Users can access all information within their authorized scope on the company intranet and participate in online meetings and discussions with other miners. Their research is documented in daily research reports, recorded in their personal files.

Of course, none of the above situations will actually occur.

Once this work pattern stabilizes and becomes a habit, the miners who have completed the deception game will use their time-travel tokens to jump directly to the far future and obtain the "complete version" of this technology at some point in the future.

To maintain control, the maximum duration of a time jump is three to five years. Any longer, and it's highly likely that you won't be able to go back. The reason is quite simple.

If the mining machines don't use the Time Chip to bring future technologies back, given their actual research capabilities, they certainly won't be able to produce anything on their own, making it pointless for the company to support them. They've already become deceivers, and if they can break free from the mental lock of their collars, they might be able to use the Time Chip. Even with Tianwen monitoring the timeline, they are still a very dangerous entity.

It would be better to execute him directly.

Even if you don't get the complete technology directly, you can at least get the "wrong direction" for the next three to five years, as well as some "flashes of inspiration".

They took these things back, uploaded them to the company intranet, and that was considered an increase in their contribution.

All other mining machines can simultaneously access these research reports "supported from the future," which provides them with inspiration and enriches their knowledge base.

Ideally, a technology could be mined in a cycle by seven mining machines. Each day, a different mining machine would consume three Copper of Time to travel into the future, memorize as much as it could, and then return to upload the knowledge it had retrieved.

After the mining machine finishes its work, it will have six days of downtime.

Within these six days, they need to enter the Deception Game to earn enough for the ticket to the next game, as well as the "travel expenses" for the following week.

If you unfortunately die in the deceptive game, just replace it with a fresh mining machine.

However, not all technologies are given such a high priority. Many technologies only require two mining rigs to mine continuously... after all, there will never be enough mining rigs, and priority should be given to important technologies.

Mingpo even knew that Gaotian Life's most important technology used twelve mining machines in a cycle. In addition to the basic seven-day cycle, five reserve mining machines were added to ensure continuous operation.

If every single sampling is successful, then a week's time is equivalent to seven researchers fast-forwarding twenty-one years!

This is an efficiency that no ordinary person could ever achieve.

Even the learning efficiency of non-human intelligent beings is far behind.

The other mode is the "fishing mode".

Simply put, it's a free-range mining machine.

These mining machines are usually far more intelligent than the former.

The company does not assign them mandatory tasks, but requires them to learn all the newly acquired knowledge and intelligence within the company's intranet every day without entering the deceptive game.

This level of knowledge density... even a genius couldn't learn it without memory burning technology. Outside of the deceptive game, these mining machines were essentially always connected to learning devices, inputting massive amounts of data.

When they are needed to fish, they will interrupt their studies and choose a direction to study.

They can even form their own teams.

It's like aimlessly fishing for big fish in the ocean.

Many innovative technologies originated from these geniuses who "fished" for technology from the future.

Whether it's memory burning, the anti-gravity engine, or the paradox engine that provides them with endless energy, it's all the same.

If Lin Ya could know me, it would mean that she is a "fisherman" with higher authority.

But she is a high-level translator, which means she has at least made one attempt at a level of "serious violation".

For example, attempting to escape, attempting to trade time with others, attempting to conceal acquired technology, attempting to maliciously tamper with paradoxical technology, or attempting to modify the past.

These actions are usually intercepted by the collar. Of course, the collar isn't omnipotent, otherwise Minper wouldn't have had to hunt them down. But even merely "attempting" to do so is a sin.

Mingper studied the history of the world in college.

The former deceivers acted recklessly, causing time and space to teeter on the brink of collapse.

No one knows what evil they committed, or whether all their crimes were part of a conspiracy by a con artist.

Each Deceiver's timeline isn't even exactly the same. Because when they become Deceivers, the world they live in has already been altered by other Deceivers.

This means that when ten con artists mention a friend they all know, it is very likely that they are actually talking about ten completely different people.

Without the corporate alliance forcibly establishing rules and locking the permissions of all deceivers with collars, any deceiver could alter the past at will. It's as if everyone holds a button that can destroy the world, and everyone's life would be repeatedly changed without their knowledge... In this situation, even the basic "self" cannot be guaranteed; mortals are merely toys in the hands of deceivers, and the ideals of deceivers will be repeatedly destroyed by other deceivers.

That's why these charlatans need to be kept under close watch.

Mingpo looked at Lin Ya, who was covered in sweat, and a cruel smile appeared on her face.

Although I feel this era is somewhat cyberpunk... Mingpo believes that restricting and imprisoning the deceivers is not a problem. Let them become mining machines for the future, continuously seeking wisdom from the void.

This is all for the well-being of all mankind.

"I remember now..."

Lin Ya's eyes widened as she looked at Ming Po in disbelief: "I've seen you in the game of deception!"

"………Um?"

Mingpo's smile froze.
