Chapter 144 Brave New World

As I said before, the host's style this time was not sloppy, so he announced the answer without any pretense.

"——"Snake"!"

Lucifer: "………………"

Also, the world's first video game definitely cannot reach the level of "Final Fantasy"... Even "Snake" has a very high starting point.

But has he mentioned "Snake" to anyone?

Lucifer immediately began to look through his memory. Before he could find the answer in any corner, the host above said it himself.

“Yes, it’s the same Snake mentioned in Cristina Dumas’s memoir My Days at the Apple Store!”

Lucifer was shocked: "A memoir?"

How come he doesn't know?

Alexandre Dumas has been dead for almost a hundred years. If he really wanted to publish his memoirs, wouldn't it be long overdue?

Mammon didn't know either: "Don't you always stay in the human world? You should know this better than me..."

Lucifer frowned, and used the function of the person in charge of the Garden of Eden, which "Lucifer" could not use, to remotely check the intelligence data within the Garden of Eden, and finally got the answer.

"...Published five years ago, I haven't returned to the Garden of Eden in seven years...it was discovered when she and the descendants of Ludwig Gauss were sorting out the belongings."

Well... to put it this way, Alexandre Dumas came to the Apple store at first because he came with his prospective boyfriend Gauss, but later Alexandre Dumas became obsessed with his career and couldn't help himself, and Gauss was also captured by the next door and worked as a human calculator until Babe

They were liberated only after Qi's computer was built. It felt like after the two of them established their relationship, the intersection between them became less and less.

But later Gauss went to help Einstein's "Nature", and he had a reason to have regular contact with the editorial department of "I'm Going, Let's Go". The two of them spent more time together, and finally got married.

Lucifer also went.

Speaking of these two publications, even after more than 160 years, they are still very good.

One journal cannot accommodate the world's cutting-edge research, so over the past 100 years, there have been many journals that have continued the "Nature" model to accept manuscripts, and they have also occupied a position that cannot be ignored in the scientific community.

status, but as the originator, "Nature" still maintains its status, and it has become increasingly high-quality, publishing only the most groundbreaking research.

However, the importance of "Nature" is not only the content published, but also because it once standardized the format of papers, especially the citation section, which saved many people. To this day, the format of papers is still roughly in accordance with the first issue of "Nature"

format.

On the 100th anniversary of the founding of Nature, the black-and-white photo of Lucifer with his eyes closed and meditating was used on the cover as a commemoration and respect for this great founder.

It's just that compared to some saints descended from heaven, the scientific community respects the titles of Lucifer [Great Sage] and [Angel Investor] more...

There is no way, scientific research is just burning money. Fortunately, people in this world like to do charity. It's just that when Lucifer first came to this world, most charity was to treat people to dinner, but now there are many more ways to do charity.

For example, if you go to a church to donate money, the church will inspect the registered scientific research projects and then distribute the donation to research groups in need of funds.

Generally, those who need this kind of funding are independent people with unpopular research directions who cannot attract investment.

In fact, it is now popular for some chambers of commerce to directly set up research institutes. Local researchers who are short of money can sign up with their own project plans. If people from the chamber of commerce want to do charity, they can invest money in it, such as...

Everyone, I’ve sent you money. What are you lacking recently...what? It’s enough, but you don’t need it?!

I don’t want what you think, I want what I think!

I think your equipment should be replaced after ten years of use. Also, you don’t look very good. Are you too tired to eat? I heard that there is a chef who is very good at cooking appetizing dishes.

Don't ask the chef to help you... Huh? Stomach trouble? I'll go see if there is any project to treat stomach trouble and invest in it!

...It's almost like this style of painting.

People in this world dislike having too much money in their hands. Of course, no one dislikes enjoyment, but there is pressure if it exceeds the limit. They prefer to spend more money for social development, so that they can obtain spiritual satisfaction.

As for "I Walk, I Go", it has miraculously continued to be published to this day, but the number of issues was restarted on the 100th anniversary.

The current content of "Wo Xing Wo Shang" has changed a lot from that of Lucifer's period. It is more inclined to some heavy-looking novels with themes that reflect social phenomena - limited by the divine punishment of this world, in fact it is also heavy.

It's not heavy at all, it's just more serious - there are some articles on avant-garde ideas, and they often discuss some debate topics.

There is a reason for this transformation.

Since most people admit that "Wo Xing Wo Shang" was the trigger for the reform of divine punishment in history, the great sage Lucifer once commented on this magazine that it "guides mankind towards a new world." This is also true in history.

Talking about "I Walk, My Way" is called the pioneer of the Enlightenment Movement. As a result, as time goes by, the submissions received tend to be more and more profound. As for the simple and refreshing articles, they are too embarrassed to submit them.

I submitted it to other emerging fiction publications.

The first-generation editorial board members of "Wo Go Wo Shang" were still young at the time. In addition, they were not doing the magazine to make money. They could play a certain role in society. They were happy before it was too late, so they readily decided.

Transformation, this transformation has been maintained until now, and people still like to buy "I Walk, I Go" to understand the latest ideological trends.

Miraculously, the editorial department of "I Walk, I Go" also maintains the annual [Sage Cup] Essay Contest, which has been held for 166 consecutive times. On the contrary, many of the submissions for this [Sage Cup] are newcomers.

, and will not give up the opportunity because of reasons such as the mountains.

"Walking on My Way" is not only famous for these, its first-generation editorial members also wrote many essays, a large part of which mentioned Lucifer, the owner of the Apple store, and even someone founded it twenty years ago

We have established the "Lucifer Research Society" to reconstruct what kind of person this miraculous heaven-descended saint was from these historical materials.

——Actually, the R&D team for this video game conference are all members of the "Lucifer Research Society."

They were studying in the seminar, and then they talked about "Snake" mentioned in Alexandre Dumas's memoirs. Considering that no one in the electronics field has the intention to make games now, the people in the seminar hit it off and started to study on their own one by one.

Programming, finally created this game.

It can be said that "Snake" is one of the most dazzling achievements of their "Lucifer Research Society", but they did not use Lucifer's name when promoting it, but had to wait until the scene was released before it was exposed.

It was a blockbuster.

"Sure enough, it is exactly the same as what was written in the memoirs!" Many people had read Alexandre Dumas's memoirs. They stared at the pixel snake that moved little by little on the screen on the booth. They were very excited. Some even held cameras in their hands and kept reading.

shoot.

Mammen: "...I think it would be fun to put Snake on the phone."

"Then I have to explain to her what a mobile phone is." Lucifer didn't care, "The keyboard control is pretty good too."

Mammon and Lucifer watched the launch of the world's first electronic game. Although there was a stage where people could start playing it, Lucifer took the lead and quietly withdrew.

Because from time to time, people say, "Lucifer is indeed a great sage. The game he designed a hundred years ago can really be made, and it's quite fun." "I said that this angel investor values ​​the current team and the computer team the most.

, I really want to see games like "Snake" come out," "In fact, Lucifer is also the father of modern games..." and so on.

All in all, it's very embarrassing. I didn't expect it to turn out like this before I came here, so I'd better leave as soon as possible.

Mammen followed him out with a sullen smile: "Where are you going next?"

"Go back to the Garden of Eden."

Mammon was surprised: "Return to the Garden of Eden suddenly?"

"Ah." Lucifer glanced at the newsstand on the roadside, "The 166th Comprehensive Symposium is about to begin. The location is the Apple store. I just want to go back and have a look."

Yes, ever since Lucifer held the first steam engine symposium at the Apple store, but the result changed midway and became a cutting-edge research symposium, it has maintained the habit of holding it once a year. In fact, it is just for everyone to get together and talk about this.

Let’s do our own research in the past year and inspire each other, so that these guys don’t stay in isolation and don’t socialize.

In fact, apart from the accumulation of hard work in the first two years, everyone really relaxed together every year after that. After all, for many projects, one year is really not enough time to research something...

But the amazing thing is that even so, all the cross-era research projects so far have appeared at this conference, such as electricity, aircraft, computers, etc.

It's as if they are holding back their breath and insisting on waiting until the meeting to announce, pursuing a strange sense of ritual.

After this conference became famous, more and more people wanted to participate. However, the Apple store is a place with special significance, and no one planned to change it. In the end, they could only raise the entry threshold and reduce the number of people, instead of just casually doing it like Lucifer did.

Anyone can enter.

As for the qualifications to participate...those who have participated once can continue to participate without any accidents. One way for new members to join is to rely on the recommendation of a big boss, and the other is to directly use their own papers or inventions as tickets.

As for Lucifer and Mammon, neither one was chosen.

After they flew to the Garden of Eden, they landed secretly on the balcony upstairs.

Lucifer quietly walked into the third floor... Although it has been more than a hundred years since he left this house, and the various facilities inside are a bit old, it can still be seen that it has been cleaned very clean.

The only violation is that there are guide signs everywhere...

Because this place is protected as the "former residence of the great sage Lucifer", people who come to visit the Garden of Eden come to the Apple store specifically to visit. However, when a comprehensive seminar is held at this time of year, the former residence will be closed for viewing and will be reserved exclusively for the following people.

The big guys have a meeting.

Not only Lucifer, but also Lucifer did not expect that the world would still engage in the practice of commemorating his former residence.

The main reason is because Lucifer is so legendary, and the legend is very close to people's lives. Unlike Michael and George, if you want to commemorate him, you can't find anything, so you can only write an epic to praise him.

Lucifer walked to the window and looked out, smelling the aroma of the nearby bakery, and couldn't help but smile.

The Garden of Eden has changed a bit, but looking at this Garden of Eden, Lucifer still feels nostalgic.

Back then, after he asked Satan and Mammon to collect and sort out the revised opinions on divine punishment from various places, he resolutely revised them all in one go. Then he asked Satan to write a report and give it to God the Father to increase the number of divine punishments in human minds.

Penalty LAN.

All these changes, even for humans, are considered very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, humans, who have been controlled by divine punishment from the beginning of the new era to the present, have gained a certain sense of freedom.

The human world has fallen into a carnival.

Only the people in the literature group realized what was happening and always showed a reluctant expression towards him.
To be continued...
