Anyone with any sense can deduce that the magical world is not as simple as it seems.
Definitely not an easy game.
This is already a consensus among the outside world.
Because judging from the previous product pricing strategy of Kechuang Biotechnology, it is a very normal company, and due to its technology monopoly position, it will enjoy a certain premium.
The pricing of "Future" is completely inconsistent with the market economy, and everyone does not understand Zheng Li. Even the employees who joined Kechuang Biotech when it was first established do not understand Zheng Li.
In the eyes of the outside world, there is some very close connection between Zheng Li and Mei Lin. It is even possible that Zheng Li is the incarnation of Merlin in the human world.
Therefore, virtual reality equipment is believed to have other purposes. As for the specific purpose, there are various speculations on the Internet.
However, many people believe that "Future" has a purpose other than grabbing economic benefits, and it is filled in every corner of the Internet.
"Magic Academy" is related to magic, and you can even get magi directly from it.
Being able to get magi is speculation.
It is too difficult for most people to calculate the cosmic coordinate system that satisfies the Heiber constant in the real world.
An almost impossible task.
Even Luo Shu, who has a doctorate in astronomy and has a small family background, spent more than ten years unable to obtain a magi from within Apple.
Let alone ordinary people.
And if we could find clues to magi directly in the virtual world, that would be even better.
...
The power structure in Malaysia is very complex. Unlike the Lion City, which is concentrated in the hands of one person, its power is very dispersed.
The system is very strange.
In 2016, Malaysia was rated as a flawed democracy by The Economist magazine.
The powers of the Führer, the theoretical supreme holder of power, have been repeatedly restricted.
Specific to each state, there was a struggle for power between the royal family and the elected government.
Chinese netizens can often see on Chinese social media how Malaysian Chinese support China, and it is not just as simple as loving Chinese culture.
The reason behind this is precisely due to the Malaysian system. According to the Malaysian Constitution, the status of Malays is higher than that of non-Malays. Among them, the largest non-Malay group is the Chinese.
The Malays, the royal family and the government used various means to restrict the living space of the Chinese.
The Chinese need a strong mother country to support them to avoid being cut off in the harsh living environment of Southeast Asia.
This is the fundamental reason why Malaysian Chinese have unprecedented support for China.
At the same time, it is precisely because of the proportion of Malays and Chinese in Malaysia that the Lion City was clearly a city in Malaysia before, but they just made the Lion City independent.
Because the multi-racial Malaysia vision proposed by Lao Li when he was a member of Parliament in Malaysia is incompatible with Malaysia’s Malay priority.
Lao Li was the key driver in gaining support from North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak for Malaysia and the Lion City Federation.
You must know that Malaysia only has thirteen states in total.
And Lao Li's political methods made the actual rulers of Malaysia realize that if the Lion City is allowed to be in Malaysia, Lao Li will sooner or later overthrow their Malay priority.
It is precisely because of this that Malaysia vomited it out after eating the Lion City.
After Zheng Li conveyed the news that he was going to meet with the Malaysian leader through the official channels between the Lion City and Malaysia, the Malaysian side was a little frightened.
Zheng Li killed all the diplomats in Lion City, but it does not mean that he killed the diplomats of other countries in Lion City.
"Sir, we are willing to accept your terms and sell this piece of land in southern Johor to you."
The Malaysian official circled an area on the monitor.
It covers an area of about 1,500 square kilometers and is located in Johor, which directly borders the Lion City.
Zheng Li is very familiar with Malaysia. He has lived in Kuala Lumpur for a long time.
He also has his own understanding of the geographical areas of Malaysia. Even if he does not understand it, artificial intelligence can easily process this basic information.
Zheng Li took a quick look and knew that the land sold by the other party was high-quality land. The high-quality land here meant that it was suitable for building a city.
At the same time, it is easy to build a railway or highway directly connected to the Lion City.
Zheng Li nodded and said: "Okay. The relevant materials and conditions will be sent to you after Malaysia passes the Congress."
The Lion City covers an area of only 728.6 square kilometers. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a tiny place.
Johor covers an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers.
This time, the Lion City has doubled its original area.
However, Zheng Li did not have much joy in opening up new territories, and it was not the feudal era.
Russia's area is larger than China's, but its economy is not as developed as China's provinces. Land is an important factor of production, but its role has declined significantly compared with the feudal era.
Besides, Zheng Li has no intention of annexing Malaysia.
The Malaysian side only tentatively asked if they could give a few more life-extending potions. After being rejected, they did not mention it further.
Instead, the focus is on biophotovoltaics. The condition proposed by Malaysia is that Malaysia needs to obtain the right of first refusal for biophotovoltaics produced in the Lion City in the future.
Of course, Malaysian officials and artificial intelligence have drawn up very detailed terms regarding the specific restrictions on the right of first refusal.
“I am very happy to have reached this deal with the Lion City.
Malaysia and the Lion City have carried out extensive and in-depth exchanges and cooperation over the years in the fields of economy, education, tourism, environment, culture and other fields.
Friendly relations based on rationality and pragmatic interests have always been a weapon between Malaysia and the Lion City to avoid narrow racial or communalism.
Sir, this is your first visit to Malaysia after taking office as the head of the Lion City. In the days to come, Malaysia hopes to continue to maintain this good bilateral relationship with the Lion City.
Jointly shape the geographical, historical, cultural, regional and geopolitical relationships between Malaysia and the Lion City in the new era. "
On the surface, the Malaysian leader is very high-sounding.
Almost everything he said was traditional diplomatic rhetoric.
Before 2013, the Lion City’s largest trading partner had always been Malaysia.
But after 2013, the Lion City’s largest trading partner became China, and it continues to this day.
In fact, Malaysia’s attitude towards the Lion City is not as friendly as imagined. Whether it is water supply issues, customs, immigration, quarantine and other issues, as well as the sovereignty issue of Pedra Branca, these have led to conflicts between Malaysia and the Lion City. Relationships exhibit periodic tensions.
Compared with Malaysia, the Lion City is a country the size of a sesame seed, but the Lion City is not inferior to Malaysia in terms of national strength.
Over 70% of the people in the Lion City are Chinese, which puts Malaysia at a loss.
The Lion City of Lao Li and Xiao Li practiced elite rule, while Malaysia implemented policies based on race.
The Lion City developed into a developed country within two generations, while Malaysia's development has been much slower.
This is a harsh verdict on Malaysia's treatment of its non-Malays. The Malay elite are embarrassed by the thousands of highly qualified non-Malays who moved to the Lion City and helped it achieve unprecedented economic success.
After the Master took over the Lion City, Malaysia did not dare to make any move.
Because Zheng Li's fixed-point blasting ability is as deadly as a nuclear bomb for a country with a system like Malaysia.
Can't afford to offend but can afford to hide.
After the official communication is over, private communication with the Malaysian royal family will be much more direct.
"Sir, I would like to ask you a question, that is, if you abandon the physical body, can you achieve immortality in the virtual world?"
For a member of the powerful royal family who has never felt material pressure, his biggest concern at this age is always how to live forever.
“It’s impossible to achieve with current technology.
To live forever in the virtual world, one needs to be able to store souls and memories in relevant media.
But there is no meaning, such eternal life is meaningless.
The endless drifting in the darkness will never find an end. "
The royal family sitting opposite Zheng Li showed a horrified expression. “Isn’t it possible to access the virtual world through some kind of technological means?”
"Can.
But you can't guarantee that the virtual world will operate forever.
Moreover, hackers in the future virtual world can locate your specific location.
Find the storage medium that stores your soul and memories, and you will be powerless to fight back.
Many people have similar ideas, but the final results are not very good.
To achieve eternal life, the trinity of body, soul and memory is the most secure.
Of course it is easy to extend your life, but it is impossible to live forever.
Or I've never seen it. "
Forever is a very scary word, and in the context of Blue Star, it always has an expiration date.
It's just that for the rich, they want their wealth to be enough to support their comfortable life, and they want to live as long as they want.
"Sir, I have always been curious, the universe is so vast, why we have not encountered aliens.
Maybe you are.
But considering the vastness of the universe, with only you and the alien civilization represented behind you, is this too little? "
In fact, this question was not what the royal family wanted to ask, but what the people behind Amerikan instructed him to ask.
This is also the confusion that many science fiction writers have had over the years.
Because in their conception, they have conceived various alien civilizations, and humans will sail in the universe in the future.
Then they will fight or trade with various alien civilizations.
Zheng Li looked through his memory and said:
“Blue Star has a theory called the Great Filter Theory.
Roughly speaking, there are key links that have been seriously underestimated in the process of civilization developing from planetary civilization to interstellar civilization.
These links act as a kind of filter. Even if the universe has given birth to many life forms or primary civilizations in the past, they have not been able to cross these links and continue to develop into interstellar civilizations. "
"Sir, what are the specific links involved, and is it possible for Blue Star to overcome them?"
“The fundamental reason is that the development of science and technology has reached a bottleneck, and intelligent life forms are unwilling to continue to invest a large amount of resources in the field of scientific research.
If you didn’t invest in it before, technology research is not linear, and it doesn’t mean how much you invest will give you a return.
And when the real crisis approaches, it is already too late to detect the relevant signs and then try to solve the problem, whether it is to go to space or to solve it internally.
Then it either dies or falls back to its original age, and starts the cycle again.
There are still many difficult links to overcome.
This goes against the desire nature of intelligent life. "
Zheng Li said it very straightforwardly and also gave examples.
Although the mage civilization itself has limited interstellar travel capabilities, its ability to communicate with interstellar civilizations is very strong.
They have communicated with many civilizations in the universe, but not even one thousandth of the civilization can truly reach the interstellar age.
Another important reason is that there are more and more people being supported and insufficient resources, which leads to a decline in social vitality.
Those people in society who create value through labor will support those who do not work in various ways.
When productivity is low, the number of people being supported is small, and even if they are supported, the quality of life is very low.
A minority group among them has the motivation and ability to promote technological development and thereby achieve the purpose of increasing productivity.
This is the fundamental reason for scientific and technological progress in modern society.
With the explosive growth of productivity, more and more groups are being supported, and at the same time, the lives of the top groups being supported have reached a high level.
No matter how advanced technology is, it will not make this group of people’s lives better.
But they have the ability to dominate the flow of resources.
This results in scientific research not being able to obtain corresponding resources and stagnating.
If it weren't for Zheng Li's arrival, the state of technological stagnation on Blue Star would have lasted for a long time.
Wait until the metaverse-related technologies achieve breakthroughs, including chips, optics, software, artificial intelligence, etc.
Then enter the era of the metaverse.
The Metaverse is indeed the next explosive point in the integration of Blue Star Technology, or VR.
Zheng Li turned the node that was going to enter the VR era into a virtual world.
But the virtual world will not explode productivity, it can create more wealth out of thin air.
But it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of too many dependents.
The next thing to do is to make everyone a dependent.
Achieve the ultimate explosion of productivity through artificial intelligence and biophotovoltaics.
Controllable nuclear fusion is actually more efficient and the technical route is more promising.
After all, biophotovoltaics cannot be applied to spacecraft, but controllable nuclear fusion has many more application scenarios.
The problem is that Zheng Li doesn't understand. After taking over, he spent part of his energy promoting controllable nuclear fusion.
In recent years, some breakthroughs in key technical nodes have indeed been achieved, but they are still far from being implemented.
Zheng Li was actually very curious about the optimistic judgments that Blue Star scientists made fifty years ago when they estimated that it would take fifty years to achieve controllable nuclear fusion in their books.
"I roughly understand that the fundamental reason is that scientific research is too difficult."
