Since the completion of the maglev track in the Jinhu section, the time taken by maglev train from Shanghai to Jinling is not even as long as the time from the city center to the airport by subway.

In less than two hours of commuting, Lu Zhou had already arrived at the underground laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study from the chairman's office of the IMCRC, and put his helmet on his head.

In order to facilitate the operation, after the improvement of the technical staff of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the new holographic helmet equipped with the phantom system has added a built-in curved screen interactive interface. This also makes it easier for the user to operate the Phantom system independently, instead of being the same as before, when wearing a helmet and being completely dark, unable to see anything.

"Xiao Ai."

Xiao Ai: [What's the matter, master? (＞▽＜)】

Lu Zhou: "Do I need to re-fight according to the strategy in a while?" ”

Xiao Ai: [No, I guess that with the master's salted fish operation, even if you play according to the strategy, it will definitely be impossible to clear the level.] (≧?? ≦)?? 】

Xiao Ai: [So Xiao Ai has developed a special synchronization mode on the basis of the original program, through the method of 100% synchronization of customs clearance operations, so that the master can directly transition to the plot part from the perspective of first-person viewing. Of course, during the viewing process, the master can also unsynchronize at any time, but once the synchronization is unsynchronized, if you want to switch back to synchronization mode, you can only start all over again. ヾ(???? `o)】

Lu Zhou: "...... I thank you. ”

Xiao Ai: [Eh, hey, hey(/ω\*)......... (/ω?? ＼*)】

Although there was a feeling of being ridiculed by artificial intelligence, for the sake of the little guy helping him develop such a convenient function, Lu Zhou decided not to deal with it this time.

Calling out the startup interface, after Lu Zhou casually recited a link start, the curved screen in the field of vision began to dim gradually, and then the touch of potential contact from the back of the neck quickly entered the virtual space......

……

The ID of the player who cleared the game is: Professor Lu's little fan brother.

Seeing this ID, Lu Zhou's face suddenly turned red, and he was embarrassed for a while.

But to his surprise, it wasn't a middle-aged Internet addict who won the first pass of this dungeon.

Although I didn't check what Li Gaoliang's game ID was called, it was definitely impossible for that guy to take such a "disgusting" name.

Synchronization begins.

Lu Zhou, who is completely in the perspective of a "true fan", follows Captain Sainz on board the vehicle along the way, and after picking up Dr. Ryan, he is attacked by a group of unidentified forces as expected.

As happened at the time, the convoy split into two teams, one to move forward and the other to descend to meet the attack. After five minutes of intense gunfighting, two huge support drones arrived as scheduled, and a rain of light fell from the sky like a plot kill.

Immediately afterwards, the scene that made Lu Zhou's scalp tingle happened.

As if stuck in time, the player operating this body did not look up, and rolled directly to the bottom of the car.

With the help of the energy shield on the top of the car, he blocked the first wave of light rain, and then rolled out from the other side of the sparkling car in a smooth motion, and picked up the EMP launcher that had fallen from the hands of his allies on the ground, and aimed his backhand at the sky to make an energy projectile.

The pale blue light curtain instantly spread out a spherical giant net, and the two drones fell like birds with their necks broken, and the vehicle that had been used as cover finally couldn't hold on and exploded in a rain of sparks.

The smoke screen of the explosion brushed through the tactical mask, and the whole set of actions was done in one go, as if every beat was on target, and all the correct actions were completed. Even if it's half a second slower or half a second faster, it can lead to the end of Game over.

This set of operations was not only stunned by Lu Zhou, but even General Sainz not far away, and even the hostile forces opposite.

“…… ¥#@%, Who the hell are you? ”

The string of dialogues in the communication channel is not translated, and it is probably a mood particle similar to a groove.

Glancing in the direction of General Sainz, the player in control of the character did not stop, set his rifle on cover, and fired a rain of bullets at the remaining remnants of the enemy.

Although I wasn't playing by myself, the feeling of experiencing the whole battle from a first-person perspective and passing by the explosion was really exciting.

At this time, Lu Zhou's mind suddenly had a spiritual slight.

He has been thinking about what form movies should be presented under mature VR technology, and isn't that kind of excellent and shocking presentation just around the corner?

Silently remembering this fleeting inspiration, Lu Zhou continued to focus on the battlefield.

After suffering heavy casualties, the opposing side quickly chose to retreat.

After this battle, the "land boat" that shot down two drones was appreciated by General Sainz. Since the flying car he was riding in had been scrapped during the battle, General Sainz had him get into his own car to join the convoy in front of him.

After two thrilling battles along the way, he finally sent Dr. Ryan to the Imperial Council Chamber, and Lu Zhou finally saw the main plot he was expecting.

and the majestic Imperial Chamber.

To be honest, Lu Zhou didn't have great expectations for the artistic cells of the Jialan Empire. However, after seeing this majestic building, he was still fiercely amazed.

Two pyramid-shaped black buildings, with peaks facing each other, one of which sits on the surface and the other stands upside down in mid-air. As a whole, the whole building is like an hourglass, symbolizing order and equality, corresponding to the upper and lower houses of the Imperial Diet.

Anti-gravity technology?!

Looking at the upside-down pyramid, Lu Zhou, who was full of surprise in his heart, could only understand it like this.

Arriving at the foot of the pyramid and looking at the majestic edifice, Dr. Lane breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the safest place in the entire empire.

And his mission has finally been accomplished.

Stopping and looking at Lu Zhou behind him, Dr. Lane smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Thank you, thank you so much...... Hats off to you, soldier. Just now, you saved our civilization...... Speaking of which, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”

In the next few battles, thanks to a series of SAO operations by the player controlling the body, he was safely escorted here, and it was because of this that he won the favor of the scholar.

Otherwise, in normal times, an imperial scholar of high status would not take the initiative to talk to an ordinary soldier at the bottom of the hierarchy.

In this civilization called "Jialan", the barriers between social hierarchies are as strong as fortresses. Generally speaking, occupation means identity and status, and the latter almost determines what kind of house a "person" can live in, how much material rations he has, and all aspects of rights and interests.

As for why soldiers are at the bottom of the empire, Lu Zhou guesses that it may be because the Jialan Empire has been peaceful for centuries, which has made the army of this civilization different from the army in the traditional sense, and has evolved into a special and marginal existence.

Seeing that the player who manipulated the character did not make any moves, Lu Zhou estimated that this player probably played this memory as a game, but he was afraid that he was waiting for the plot to skip quickly, so he hurriedly ended the synchronization mode, took control of the body, and replied politely.

"Lu Zhou, this is my name."

"Lu-Zhou?"

Dr. Ryan glanced Lu Zhou up and down curiously, and continued, "It's a strange pronunciation, I haven't heard of such a name in all my years of living in the C-12-01 sector. ”

Combined with his own understanding of the Jialan civilization, Lu Zhou tried to make up a reason and said: "Because I come from a remote agricultural planet, where we ...... This nomenclature is common. ”

Dr. Lane was interested, "Colonial customs?" Interesting, I know a friend who studies colonial history and might be interested in chatting with you about your hometown...... I can introduce you to him if you want. ”

Lu Zhou: "I'm more interested in physics than I am...... Can I talk to you about the mysteries of physics? ”

As if hearing something funny, Dr. Ryan smiled and said softly, "Physics? This proposition is too broad and too profound. Before discussing with me, I suggest that you first go through systematic study, and it is best to find a research direction that interests you. If you are interested in physics after your military service, you can come to the Institute of Physics in the District Center of C-12-01 and report your name directly. ”

Lu Zhou wanted to continue to get close to this Dr. Lane, but General Sainz had already walked over this way.

Looking at this highly respected scholar, the officer said with a respectful attitude.

"Dear Dr. Lane, identity verification has been completed, the Archon has invited you into the council chamber, and the meeting for you is about to begin."

Dr. Ryan said in a sincere tone, "Thank you, thanks to you along the way, and I hope you will be able to report what happened to me to the Imperial Military Intelligence Service." I never imagined that there were such daring bandits in our empire. ”

General Sainz said with a solemn expression.

"Our intelligence services are already collecting clues about how that batch of heavy firepower weapons ended up in the hands of the militants, and I am sure that there will be results soon."

Dr. Ryan nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to walk towards the main entrance of the main hall.

Glancing at Lu Zhou, General Sainz thought for a moment and spoke.

"Come in with you."

At the moment when General Sainz said this, Lu Zhou obviously noticed that the soldiers next to him had envious expressions on their faces.

Looking at those envious eyes, Lu Zhou probably guessed that this should be an act of appreciation from superiors to subordinates in the imperial army.

So he was not hypocritical, and naturally followed behind General Sainz, handed over his arms to the guards at the door of the council chamber, and followed the footsteps of the two in the direction of the main gate as General Sainz's personal guard.

This is the center of the imperial center.

And the highest-level secret of the Jialan civilization is also here.

With excitement, Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged and followed the footsteps of General Sainz and stepped into this majestic hall.

He had a hunch.

Soon Dr. Lane will be here to unveil the oracle.

And he will soon know what the system is trying to convey to him through this memory.
