Chapter 1338: Chapter 1200 Release Date Confirmed!

No matter whether it’s hibernation technology or realistic robots, both are already mature technologies.
Even the dozen specialized artificial proteins required for hibernation technology have been handled by Lincoln in his spare time, and conditions for controlled deep sleep and safe awakening, previously unattainable, are now in place.
Only the final step of empirical verification was left, and Lincoln couldn’t be bothered to run it.
Not to mention realistic robots, he and Little Princess had even flown to the other side of Earth to play around.
“Most passengers enter a state of hibernation, with some staff members taking control of robots to oversee the spaceship, complemented by virtual world entertainment, to pass the long interstellar travel time.”
In theory, this posed no problems.
But interstellar travel requires solving countless issues, and the “passenger” problem is just one piece of a puzzle that includes engineering, energy, ecology, communications, social psychology…
and many more.
After all, interstellar travel is an endeavor of an entire civilization, and also an endeavor that belongs to generations of people, extending over dozens of generations; one cannot expect one or two individuals to handle it all.
However, that’s no big deal, as none of it could stump him.
After writing down the hibernation technology, realistic robot technology, as well as some successful cases of secondary artificial intelligence integration with existing technologies, Lincoln listed a plethora of cutting-edge technologies yet to be broken through, and then…

“Due to limited space, I will not elaborate further here.”
With that, Lincoln cheerfully wrapped up his thesis.
——In fact, he didn’t even write it himself, but after casting the “Mavis, help me out!” magic, Mavis took care of it, organizing what he dictated into the format of a thesis.
The only thing he actually put his hand to was the acknowledgment section at the end — he lavished thanks on Mavis and also thanked his girlfriend, Camille Victoria, who helped him cut fruits along the way.
In the end, since he was completely absent from the entire thesis process, naturally, no mentor was involved, and after finishing, he passed it to the counselor who had him “go through the motions.”
The counselor, still young and not very cautious, looked at the thesis as soon as he received it.
Just by that one look, he forfeited his chance to go abroad for the next five years, with a 17-page confidentiality agreement as a bonus gift.
All this was because his professional background was in human-computer interaction, which was far removed from the fields of biomedical and structural engineering where [Hibernation Technology] and [Simulated Humanoid Robot] belonged.
The only slightly related “neural interaction” was beyond this young counselor’s technical grasp to understand what Lincoln had written.
——Had he understood it, it would have been more than just five years of trouble.
Of course, he also received a special subsidy that came with the confidentiality agreement, even higher than the one Shuihua received.
It was fortunate that Henry had given a heads-up; otherwise, the counselor might have had a lapse in judgment and forwarded the paper for peer review to the professors of the university with relevant expertise.
If that had happened, it could have easily netted all the relevant professors at Donghua University…

In any case, after going through five rounds of “tea and heart-to-heart talks” and signing the confidentiality agreement, the counselor received a brand new Mobile Phone and a top-of-the-line new computer.
——As his previous ones were naturally taken away.
After transferring all his important data in a friendly atmosphere and leaving the National Security Bureau, it was already evening.
He had numerous curses in his heart that he wanted to throw at Lincoln, but looking at the top-of-the-line computer in his hands and the extra year’s salary in his bank account, his anger quickly faded.
He even thought about doing it a few more times.
…
This thesis was never going to be made public.
All the outside world could know was that Lincoln’s thesis had won the Outstanding Graduate Thesis of Donghua University’s Class of 2031.
Whether it was the award-winning thesis or the fact that it was not made public, everyone remained calm.
No one doubted there was any underhandedness involved, as Lincoln’s scientific research capabilities were just too convincing.
Only Henry and the researchers who had already signed a thick stack of confidentiality agreements looked at each other in confusion at the thesis’s ending remark of “Due to limited space, I will not elaborate further here.”

Afterward, the college entrance examination began.
The essay topic for the college entrance examination, to everyone’s surprise, was about “Starry Sky and Science.”
Netizens believed that this was the country’s way of hinting to the students not to get addicted to the virtual world but to maintain their curiosity and longing for the real starry sky.
This might be true.
But Lincoln remained a frequent term—nobody knew how many examinees referenced the story of Lincoln’s adventurous spaceflight, which almost didn’t make it back to Earth, in their essays.
“Even the creator of the virtual world still dreams of the infinite star ocean,” they wrote.
Sentences like this were numerous.
There were even students who cited classical references, discussing the important scientists from ancient times to the present who have looked up at the stars and have elevated humanity’s understanding of the universe, and fitting Lincoln among them, suggesting that encountering and understanding the universe through the virtual world signified another significant cognitive revolution.
Perhaps it was because they had gathered too many materials and sentences about Lincoln in anticipation of their exams…
In any case, the variety of praises and high rate of mentions were overwhelming.
Even Shuihua couldn’t escape the trend, texting Mavis that evening, “I praised your boyfriend to the skies!”
Mavis cared about how Shuihua had done in her exams, to which Shuihua confidently replied she had fared very well.
She was an excellent student now, though not quite a learning god—[focus headbands] could only improve focus, not intelligence.
What you didn’t know, you still didn’t know.
But she was confident about getting into Camille Victoria’s and Lincoln’s alma mater: Donghua University.
By contrast, she was more concerned about whether Lance could make it, since he had always been distracted from his studies by club activities…
…
…
One day, two days, three days.
The college entrance examination was over.
That evening, the virtual world’s player online rate soared instantly, and the Hunting Island welcomed a large number of reinforcements!
But this reinforcement was meaningless—Little Chun’s team learned from Cyber Chang’an’s lesson and limited the number of players per mirror, to prevent players from piling up bodies to brute-force their way to the end, ruining the game experience.
Add to that the absence of martial arts and the limited space, the cave that Little Chun and his team created provided players with a long-lasting challenge, not to mention that there was more than one cave on the island to explore.
Little Chun and his team also set up a linked Easter egg, allowing players to summon their Spirit Beasts from “Pokémon” to this world by finding an altar and sacrificing enough trophies.
—On the day “Pokémon” was released, the cutscene reflected in the sky showed young Spirit Beasts being sent to the human world by the elders, hiding from the crisis of destruction.
Now, after being nurtured and strengthened by their Masters, they could finally return to their homeland to fight shoulder to shoulder with their Masters, attempting to save their own world.
In the development team’s design, this island was enough to last until the new game’s release.
That is, after the release of “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” and the beginning of the Space Era.
By then, a new hunting game would join the virtual universe in the form of a primitive planet.
Until then, it would still be the stage for “Cyber Chang’an: 2077.”

The next day after the college entrance examination, “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” released its final trailer and officially announced the release date—
June 10th, at two in the afternoon.
