Chapter 1394: Chapter 1254 “Just watch with wide eyes!
“What is that?” the Doctor asked, perplexed.
“A concept,” Lincoln explained for him.
The electronic spirit world, Digital Heaven, Cyber Underworld—they were all different facets of the same concept.
And these three facets shared one common feature:
They were closely related to [death].
This was also the impression that Lincoln hoped to pass on to all users in the future:
[Digital Life] was not about extending life eternally, but about starting a second chapter of life.
Only those who had lived their first chapter of life and were approaching the end of their lifespan could be transformed into digital lives, and at the same time, they would have to give up most rights from before the transformation.
Of course, in Lincoln’s plan, the conditions for transformation were not difficult to meet—as long as one was not a major villain, even a perfectly ordinary life would suffice to meet the criteria.
But that was only the most basic threshold and would only entitle one to the most basic treatment.
And those treatments did not have to wait for transformation; they could be experienced through the [Mirage] while still alive.
Lincoln was even somewhat puzzled, “Since you can experience the virtual world while you’re alive, why even look forward to transforming into a digital life, to the point of neglecting reality?”

The Doctor wasn’t surprised by his plan, but he was very surprised by his confusion—“You can experience everything after the transformation into digital life even before it?”
“Ah?” Lincoln was shocked.

“Can’t you?”
“When you…
engage in passionate behavior, doesn’t the excessive emotional fluctuation and neurological signal disorder cause a misalignment in the connection?”
“?” Lincoln blinked, vaguely feeling that he might have grasped the key point, “When you talk about passionate behavior, are you referring to life-and-death situations, collective frenzies, progeny reproduction…
and so on, the experiences that greatly excite the nerves?”
“Yes,” the Doctor fixed his gaze on Lincoln.
“Can you manage it?”
“No problem,” Lincoln nodded.
“In today’s virtual world, tens of millions of people die and revive in combat every moment, tens of millions make love on various beds, and the large-scale matches every Monday bring sky-high cheers that nearly collapse the stadium…”
“There has never been an accident?” The Doctor couldn’t believe it.
“Not a single person has been disconnected because of this?”
“Never had…” Lincoln was about to say that when he suddenly remembered an exception.
“Well, there was one person who disconnected after accelerating himself to one-tenth the speed of light, but that was because the virtual world collapsed first.”
“Apart from him, there was no such thing.”
Upon hearing this, the Doctor had a life-questioning expression on his face.
And Lincoln also had an epiphany.
No wonder he had always felt a sense of dissonance.
The virtual world had a greater destructive power over the Doctor’s civilization than the human world—initially, he suspected it was because the narrative timeframe was too large, condensing a century’s worth of continuous influence into a sentence or two, making the destructive power seem particularly large.
But now Lincoln understood clearly: there might indeed be reasons related to the narrative scale, but there was another key reason.
The other civilization had a huge difference from humans: emotions.
Whether it was due to physiological reasons, or the unique natural environment of their world—or perhaps both factors combined—in their world, the influence and destructive power of [emotions] far exceeded that of the human world.
It could even interfere with the transmission of neural signals!
That’s why they yearned for the transformation into digital lives, because only by completing the transformation could they be completely free of this interference and fully experience a passionate life.
Lincoln sought confirmation from the Doctor.
The Doctor nodded gravely, “Our planet’s surface has a natural magnetic field that is triggered by intense emotions, causing various strange changes.
In the early days of our civilization, this was seen as a form of visual magic that could be learned.”
“But after we surpassed the Industrial Age in technology, we realized that this electromagnetic field seriously interfered with the advancement of technology…”
“Ah, talking about this now seems meaningless.”
Doctor sighed.
Lincoln, however, breathed a sigh of relief.
In this world, there were no such natural limitations.
Before humans started interfering, the natural world was pristine.
And even now, with some mess created, the intensity was completely controllable.
Listening to Doctor, the interference their natural world had faced was like having a few dozen “Star Exterminator” level electromagnetic bombs thrown at it.
It was preposterous.
Lincoln even suspected that their planet had some fundamental issues in its composition.
In any case, Doctor’s warnings seemed much less threatening.
Of course, even with that factor aside, one should still maintain the necessary vigilance.
Doctor also got his emotions in check and looked at Lincoln again, “So, what about you?
What kind of future do you plan to build?”
Lincoln was just as open:
“In our civilization, everyone must first live their own life well, and only when their lifespan is nearly over, do they consider digitalization.”
“The purpose of digital life is to become part of the foundation of civilization, continuously accumulating strength for the future.”
“The real world will never be abandoned—right at this moment, the transformation of mixed reality is moving ahead by leaps and bounds.”
“Reality and virtual will become two intertwined lines that run parallel, together weaving the future of civilization.”
…
He didn’t waste words explaining the specifics of the [Digital Life Project], because at this stage, those specifics could change at any time based on needs.
He spoke of philosophies; all rules were drawn up around these philosophies.
The more Doctor listened, the brighter his eyes shone—and it wasn’t just a figure of speech; there were actual stars lighting up in his eyes.
Lincoln immediately looked at Mavis, thinking the little guy had relapsed into his old habits and started adding special effects again.
But Mavis shook his head, looking wronged, in denial.
Doctor noticed their reaction and at first seemed confused but then explained proactively, “Didn’t I mention ‘Visual Magic’ before?
After entering the digital world, visual magic can no longer take effect, causing discomfort for many.
So, this kind of digital visual magic appeared; you could think of it as a cultural custom of our civilization.”
“Oh~ I see!” Lincoln suddenly realized as he ruffled Mavis’s head.
So that’s where Mavis’s mischievous habits came from.
Doctor didn’t dwell on this and continued where Lincoln left off, “The future you describe is wonderful, something our civilization could not achieve.”
“If what you say is true, and you really are doing such things, then I could offer some help.”
That was exactly what Lincoln had been waiting for.
“How much technology do you still have?”
Mavis had mentioned many technologies before, including Spaceships and another version of mech, but they had to be abandoned due to lack of core energy furnaces and engine blueprints.
Lincoln remembered the reason Mavis gave: core technology related to military and physical aspects were never given to artificial intelligence.
Which meant…
they were still in human hands.
Doctor nodded confidently in acknowledgment, “More than you can imagine.”
“That’s fantastic!” Lincoln immediately became excited, “What I’ve told you is all true, you can come with me and I’ll show you the virtual world we’ve created!”
“Bustling and lively, brimming with vitality, where everyone is equal and passion and creativity abound!”
Lincoln was full of confidence about this!
“I’m very much looking forward to it,” Doctor nodded.
“I assure you, you won’t be disappointed!” Lincoln said as he started to operate, “Just keep your eyes peeled and watch!”
