Compared with the bitter and ordinary real world, the virtual world only requires a small price to experience unprecedented excitement.
Before the official launch of Blue Star 2, I originally thought that the middle class would be dissatisfied because the gap in life experience between themselves and the lower class was evened out.
People's sense of superiority and happiness largely come from comparison.
The upper classes will also be dissatisfied as the bottom and middle classes lose their willingness to work.
In fact, it has only been a year since Blue Star 2 was launched. People outside the bottom class are indeed dissatisfied for the reasons I mentioned above, but the convenience that the virtual world has brought to them far outweighs the loss of their sense of superiority.
For the upper class, the real significance of Blue Star II is naturally not in price, but in time. The time cost saved for them is enough to let them put aside any dissatisfaction with the virtual world.
Not to mention the various magical discoveries made by Blue Star people in the fantasy world.
Blue Star 2 has countless conveniences. In addition to convenience, what I see is that technological development has led to the compression of personal space by monopoly giants.
Since the beginning of the information society, people have continued to sell their data to Internet companies. Later, we sold our data to various traditional enterprises in exchange for convenience in life.
The Internet records everyone’s actions.
In the era of the virtual world, people have sold out more data, including their own memories and feelings, to companies as a data exchange pool, where everyone can get the feelings they want.
In fact, the quality of individual life has been greatly improved. Before, you might only be able to enjoy a tiny bit of the entire pool in your lifetime, but now how much you can enjoy depends on how long your life is.
In the previous information age, individuals gave their data to companies, but large-scale data leaks occurred every year. From Internet companies to express delivery companies to hotel groups, there is no company that collects user data on a large scale that has not experienced a data leak. time.
People seem to have a lot of protection on the Internet, but they are actually in a state of panic.
After entering the virtual world, all data is controlled by a company. All data, all feelings, and even everyone's memory, I suspect, are controlled by Kechuang Biotechnology.
It was placed in an unknown storage medium by Kechuang Biotechnology.
Some scientists speculate that Kechuang Biotech has transformed the entire ocean into a large biological data center.
I don’t know if that’s the case, but having the data all in one company scares me more than having the data scattered across different companies and data leaks happening all the time.
If science and technology creatures want to, they can even completely recreate a person.
Unrestricted power is worthy of vigilance for each of us.
I think we need some means to restrict Kechuang Biotech, instead of the current situation where Kechuang Biotech sells part of its interests to our country, and our country is willing to give up the power it should exercise in supervision.
Where is the toughness that the regulatory agencies used to force Chinese Internet companies to hand over their data to us for audit when Chinese companies were listed on Nasdaq?
I have seen a conspiracy theory on the Internet that Zheng Li supplies a certain amount of life-extending potions to the Illuminati every year.
I agree with part of this conspiracy theory, that is, they must have reached some kind of tacit understanding of cooperation off the stage.
I don't think this is a tribute, this is an exchange. Zheng Li provided some franchise benefits in exchange for the entire Amerikan market.
However, Americans do not enjoy these benefits. We do not even have the right to know and can only complain like clowns on social media.
In short, Blue Star 2 has many good features, but I think handing it over to governments of various countries and forming a joint agency for supervision would be much better than its current form of existence.
Chapter 6 Fantasy World
If "Future" is just released in 2031, everyone will want to go to "Magic World", and almost everything about "Magic World" on all streaming platforms will become the most popular videos.
As for "Fantasy World"? No one pays attention.
No one is going to pay attention to a single-player world.
All players think this is a world that is similar to a beginner's guide to gaming, and almost no one is interested in investing time in it.
In addition to areas not yet covered by biological communication networks, it has also bought "future" users.
These users have to put their energy into the fantasy world.
Entering is an endless escape, avoiding the pursuit of various strange creatures.
Even if you are born in the human world, you still cannot escape the fate of inexplicable death.
Compared to the friendly magical world, the fantasy world is simply hellish difficulty.
Even among users who have to play this game, only a few can persist.
Later, when people determined that the fantasy world and the magic world were on the same planet, and that the information contained in the fantasy world would also be helpful in exploring the magic world, some people gradually began to try to explore the fantasy world in depth.
Only then was the secret behind the fantasy world revealed.
In fact, at the beginning, there were some self-proclaimed hardcore players who kept getting killed and restarting, unable to save, and had to restart every time they died.
Even when they died a certain number of times and had to face a new way to start, they persisted.
After discovering the secrets of the fantasy world, these players consider themselves immortal.
The name is mainly because they think they have died enough times in the fantasy world and hope that they will not die again in the next start.
And these people discovered the secret of the fantasy world, that is, the medicine in the fantasy world can be brought into the real world and is still effective in the real world.
The premise is that the ingredients of the potion can be found in the real world.
There are naturally only a few potions that meet the requirements, but they are enough to make a fortune.
We must know that these medicines are not only the value of the medicine itself, but may also represent a solution and a new medical mechanism.
There are currently five potions in the fantasy world that have been reproduced in the real world, each of which has brought the discoverer a fortune starting at one billion U.S. dollars.
At the same time, some people speculate that the transfer of superpowers in the fantasy world requires drugs and some rituals, and some require artifacts with special significance.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
It is highly likely that the artifact cannot be found in the real world.
However, there are job transfers that only require the combination of medicine and rituals, such as monks and berserkers, which only require the combination of medicine and rituals.
People believe that these job transfers can be repeated in the real world, and the world's top biopharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer, Roche, and Glaxo are trying to find herbal medicines with corresponding effects in the real world.
Because the raw materials for those herbs are not available in the real world, they try to find natural alternatives, or artificial alternatives.
I think this is very possible. Since there can be mages in the real world, why can't there be other superpower professions?
Now there are more and more users active in the fantasy world..."
The above is a summary of the entire 1930s made by the New York Times in 2039. They even stretched the timeline to earlier.
In this era, the significance of the New York Times is only to select the person of the year, and this is the only thing that has any meaning.
By 2039, Blue Star has established a small ecosystem on Mars, with more than 300 scientific workers working there.
The virtual world has become a mainstream form of entertainment.
The real-world tourism industry is completely bankrupt, causing original attractions to quickly return to their original appearance.
The Internet companies responsible for updating the version of Blue Star 2 every year need to hire a large number of people to develop various previous attractions.
A large part of the expenses are spent on this.
In this era, in China, there is no such thing as first- and second-tier cities.
Originally first-tier cities like Shenhai and Yanjing still have a lot of people flowing in because the salaries provided to the service industry are high enough.
As for other cities, it’s pretty much the same.
Salaries in the service industry have been greatly improved, more than ten times what they were ten years ago.
So much so that people online lamented that for the first time, wage increases in the service industry have caught up with housing prices.
In this era, there are no programmers anymore, and programming can be completely replaced by artificial intelligence. Now there are only algorithm scientists.
It's just that the threshold requirements for this profession are higher than those for mathematicians.
"Okay, you start preparing. I think your idea is very good and you can do it." Zheng Li nodded and said to the person who came to ask him.
Zheng Li spent most of his time focusing on Science City.
Science City has become a holy place in everyone's mind in this era. Many cutting-edge theories and some of the latest research results emerge here every year, subverting some industries and creating others.
The admission rules of the Science City are completely invitation-only, and Zheng Li will issue the invitation letter as Merlin.
After sending the invitation letter, if you agree, the Lion City official will issue you the relevant certificates, and you can enter with the certificates.
The Science City, which was built in five years, uses the most cutting-edge construction technology. At the same time, the towering trees planted by Zheng Li in the city center can make people living here happier.
Why people plant some desktop green plants in the office is because indoor plants can make people happier.
were able
Let people's brain feel stimulated, refreshed and relaxed at the same time.
But natural plants play a similar role. The reason behind it is because they produce oxygen. At the same time, because green is similar to the color of nature, it simulates an illusion of relaxation to the human brain.
The plants planted by Zheng Li in the Science City Center will emit a brand-new pheromone in the air. This pheromone can permeate the entire city with the air, making the researchers living here have a better mood, and A sharper mind.
"We have actually already observed the quantum entanglement phenomenon of soul particles. When we observe the second particle through different perspectives, we will find that the choice of perspective will change the results of the experiment.
In other words, soul particles are like other particles, and quantum entanglement comes from their own connection, not any one particle.
But soul particles also show a very magical characteristic in terms of quantum entanglement, that is..."
"In other words, the quantum entanglement phenomenon of soul particles is likely to contain the secret of time."
Science City’s invitation system also allows you to self-recommend. Individuals can send their resume and achievements to the official mailbox designated by the Lion City.
Then artificial intelligence makes a judgment. If you can pass the threshold, you can get a three-year job opportunity in the Science City.
Even researchers who become residents of the Science City through an invitation letter still have a three-year probationary period, and they can only stay after passing the probationary period.
Because talent and being able to fulfill it are two different things.
Through virtual reality equipment, your brain is scanned. After the scan, you are deemed to be talented, but after you come, you find that you don’t like science or doing this at all.
Even if learning is not difficult for you, you can still get a certain sense of satisfaction from it and form positive feedback.
But in comparison, you prefer to enjoy it in Blue Star 2 and go to the game world created by other Internet companies for entertainment. You can even leave after less than three years.
Therefore, so far, the entire Science City has only 150,000 permanent residents.
Everyone can do any research topic that interests them.
In addition to daily salary benefits, Zheng Li can also enjoy other benefits that cannot be bought with money outside.
The basics are the best medical services in the entire Blue Star. As long as you live here, you don't need to worry about your health. Even if you have terminal cancer, we can bring you back.
But now in medical institutions outside, in fact, immunotherapy with more than one million shots per shot and proton therapy with hundreds of thousands of shots can almost save cancers even if they are not particularly serious.
But for researchers, not everyone can afford this cost.
Improving service is a life-extending potion. As long as you make a recognized result, you can get a five-year life-extending potion.
Currently, the most effective life-extending medicine on the market only lasts for three years.
Three results, one shot of life-extending potion for ten years.
Five results, one shot of life-extending potion for twenty years.
In total, it can help you extend your life by thirty-five years.
This is a service exclusive to Science City residents, and citizens of the Lion City have marched for this purpose more than once.
Why are residents of the Lion City treated so exaggeratedly differently?
This is also the biggest core motivation driving this group of researchers.
You can do the research you want, but you have to get results.
In addition to the life-extending potion, when you obtain the twenty-year life-extending potion, you can also obtain the Demonic Brain.
In other words, after you use up all the life-extending potions available, you will automatically become a mage.
By 2039, the Science City has not been officially operational for five years, and there are currently only one researcher who has produced one result.
However, it was precisely because there were so many temptations hanging in front of us that everyone was so excited.
Afraid of limited production capacity, first come, first served.
