"Fortunately, only commercial places are preserved here. If you see the complete virtual Kyoto, you won't be blinded." The girl walked quickly, while not forgetting to despise Qiu Yu.
"Complete? What do you mean, the current one is incomplete?" Although the scene in front of him was indeed amazing, Qiu Yu was stunned just because the scene changed without him realizing it, so he felt a little uneasy. . But the girl's words clearly contained some important information.
"Everything you see now originated from the global virtualization plan launched by Creator Company nine years ago. The goal is to build a world in the virtual world that is exactly the same as reality. In this way, not only shopping, but also everything related to space Related activities can be easily completed, such as parties, travel, mobilization of intangible resources, etc. Later, they discovered that things in the real world that are restricted by various factors are not actually that good, so while respecting reality, the global virtual It pays more attention to convenience and comfort. Therefore, the current virtual Kyoto is more perfect than the real Kyoto. Business, entertainment, and accommodation are all created according to the optimal plan. In all aspects, the virtual Kyoto is better than the real Kyoto. Kyoto, therefore, in addition to basic survival needs, people choose to live here. At its peak, Kyoto had a population of 300 million. Can you imagine the scale of that?"
Qiu Yu didn't imagine it because he couldn't imagine it at all, "Three hundred million? Doesn't Kyoto only have a population of 20 million?"
The girl in front faced Qiu Yu and walked backwards, "Twenty million is the real world, but this is a virtual world that is not limited by space and resources. Countless people who are restricted by reality and cannot live in Kyoto can just pay a small fee. Get a place in this virtual Kyoto, and enjoy a better quality of life than the real Kyoto. If it weren't for the diversion from other large cities, the population here might exceed one billion."
"Would this be a big blow to people in Kyoto's sense of superiority?" Qiu Yu thought of Xie Beizhang's strange reaction when he heard that he was from a "small place".
"That's true. There were a lot of conflicts at the beginning, but compared to this small frustration of superiority, the people of Kyoto have gained advantages in the law that make people in other places crazy with envy, and they continue to maintain enough superiority. feel……"
Seeing that the backward girl was about to hit the person behind her, Qiu Yu was about to give a warning when the girl took a graceful step like a light kitten, passed the person behind her, and continued, "Anyway , the Creator Company made at least half of the earth's wealth through the virtual earth, and then, because a large number of laborers were transferred to this world, a manpower crisis occurred in the real world. When governments of various countries aggressively used this as an excuse to impose sanctions on the Creator Company , the Creator Company, which had been prepared for a long time, came up with other technologies of the same level as virtual reality, and completely took over the world's agricultural production and most of the light industry. If it were not to save some face for the government, even heavy industry and the military Power can also be used by all, but in that case, the government facing the crisis of disintegration will probably take some drastic actions."
"Then, this embarrassing stalemate happened five years ago, because of a friction that was said to be deliberately caused by the Creator Company, and the conflict between the two parties reached its limit. But at this time, the Creator Company not only owned all the governments of the countries, but also could not catch up. The wealth and resources, as well as the unshakable hearts and minds of the virtual world - the perfection of the virtual world is unmatched by any government in history. There are no resource limitations here, and there are no irreconcilable conflicts. The life enjoyed is also that of human beings. The most ideal thing that can be thought of. To put it simply, human beings can no longer live without this virtual world. Even Aiwujiwu regards the Creator Company as a god. If the Creator Company had not had an ambiguous attitude, I am afraid that one statement could become the entire The de facto ruler of the earth. But even so, in those countries that pursue free elections, the leaders have long been replaced by people from the Creator Company."
"To this extent, the only thing that governments around the world can fight against the Creator Company is the destructive power in their hands. This is also the reason why most people think that the Creator Company has not taken the final step. But since it has taken the initiative to trigger The friction also makes everyone think that the Creator Company already has a solution that is sufficient to solve all the troubles, perhaps relying on advanced technology, perhaps infiltrating people's hearts, or perhaps both."
The girl returned to her normal walking posture, "The process of the conflict cannot be known to others, but the final result was a bit strange. The government still existed peacefully, and the Creator Company did not behave any strangely again until four years ago. Before the emergence of the Law...the governments of various countries, which had always regarded the Creator Company as an enemy, made an astonishingly unanimous decision to support the Creator Company in developing the Law, and provided all assistance free of charge."
The rhythm of Qiu Yu's steps was momentarily confused, "I'm afraid this deal that is beneficial to both parties was decided at the time of the conflict, and it took a year to announce it... Is there any difficulty that needs time to be resolved? ?"
The girl nodded, "It did arouse a lot of speculation at the time. But when countless netizens were still talking about it, the Creator Company took the initiative to give the answer - in that year, it actually recruited a small number of people to The rules are in closed testing.”
"test?"
Qiu Yu was a little moved. Taking a year to test a piece of software is nothing, but testing alone took a year, so how long did it take to develop? That world called Law is clearly a foreshadowing laid down by the Creator Company from the very beginning.
The girl continued, "According to the creator company, Principle is a world created by applying virtual reality technology to its extreme. The degree of reality there is countless times higher than the virtual earth... Although no one It is understandable that this means countless times. And the one-year test period has only perfected a small part of the content. Next, two million volunteers will need to enter the law for further testing. Surprisingly, the support of governments received one million places.”
"Could it be that the government's compromise is just for a test quota in the virtual world?" Although the tone was questioning, Qiu Yu was almost certain that this was the reason.
"It sounds a little weird, but once you see the rules, you will understand the government's deal." The girl turned onto a road flying like a giant dragon, "Next, there are smart people and news. Psychics desperately competed for the remaining one million places. Then, three years ago, the number of people entering the law was once again expanded. In order to facilitate information collection and upgrade connection terminals, those who were eligible this time were mainly those living in large cities This is why people in large cities continue to maintain a sense of superiority as I just said. Later, testers were gradually added, and it was not until a year and a half ago that the rules were fully open to the world. However, this The first comprehensive opening is the trigger for another major event."
"Could it be that in order to promote their new virtual world, the creator company forcibly shut down the rich functions of this world?" Qiu Yu continued to express what he was sure of in a questioning manner.
"No matter any new thing, there will be people who will resist it, let alone the kind that subverts everything. In this virtual reality world, some people already regard it as a monster. After the emergence of the law, there are even more creator companies that use the spirit to To paralyze the rumors of aliens ruling the earth. Although this statement is completely untenable in the counterargument of why humans are not exterminated directly; the creator company has already obtained all the resources on the earth and cannot have any more plots. Hold on, but some people still believe it, and it has even caused some obstacles to the promotion of the law. Faced with this situation, the Creator Company, which has always been friendly, used a strong stance to deal with this situation for the first time, which is not really a big deal. Trouble - shutting down all services on the virtual earth except for basic needs, allowing those who have become inseparable from the convenience of virtual life to rush into the law to continue enjoying it before they are infected by rumors. Almost all people , as long as you enter the law once, you will be completely fascinated."
"The rest will be simple." Qiu Yu took over the girl's words, "For those who love the virtual world, entering a more perfect world is their pursuit. For those who pay attention to reality, with the excellence of the law itself To convince them. For those who are hesitant, use the general trend to drive them. This is a promotion strategy that people cannot resist, so the final result..."
"The result is that in just one and a half years, the number of people in the world who have never entered the Law, or who have resisted after entering, is only one hundred thousand of the total population. The people you see in this virtual city now, Most of them are just here for a short stay to prepare some necessities for life in the real world.”
"But, according to what you said, everything is monopolized by the creator company, and most people are addicted to the law. So what supports the economy of the real world? There are people here selling things, so people who buy things At least there must be a source of income, right?”
The girl who was giving a dull explanation suddenly became energetic as if she had talked about a topic of interest, "Of course it is the law. If the world is divided into three parts, the real world is the basis of survival, and the virtual earth is the midpoint of the relationship. The law It is the core of the entire world. Because the law has become the main residence of human beings, the demand for resources in the real world has been reduced to a very small level. Even relying only on the Creator Company can satisfy all human needs for survival in the real world. Demand, with this as a necessary condition, the wealth obtained in the law can be exchanged for currency in the present. Therefore, as long as you do the work you like in the law, you can live very well in several worlds at the same time."
"Do you like the job? This alone is attractive enough. Then real-world currency..."
"No." The girl said with an expression like "I know what you are going to say." "The Creator Company only allows the wealth in the law to be exchanged for currency in reality, but it does not allow the currency in reality to be exchanged for wealth in the law."
"Heh..." Qiu Yu smiled bitterly.
(I have actually achieved this step. Even if I lead the government to fight against the Creator Company, there is no other way except to use force. If the enemy is really the Creator Company, it has been completely figured out that Qian Xiao is afraid The reason for not coming. This is simply an impossible task...)
"Okay, here we are."
The girl's clear voice came.
Qiu Yu only lost his concentration for a moment, and when he gathered his thoughts together again, the scene in front of him had changed again. Not far away is the super building that I had seen when I first entered this virtual world. Other buildings around it are also hundreds of meters high, but compared with it, they are just tiny ants with the feet of a giant. Judging from the part that can be seen in the field of vision, it should have exceeded the atmosphere.
"Is this here?" Qiu Yu's perception seemed to be pulled by the building in front of him, and there was a slight fluctuation.
The girl looked at Qiu Yu with the happiest smile like an unscrupulous tour guide who was about to lead tourists into a black shop, "This is the entrance to the world of laws."
