Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Thousands of miles away, Jinling Ancient City, Liyushan Cemetery.

Densely packed tombstones are hidden in the lush green mountain forests. Behind most of the stone monuments is a cedar tree, which symbolizes eternal sleep, peace and happiness.

On such an unusual day, few people come to the cemetery to pay their respects.

However, there was a special case today. In a secluded corner halfway up the mountain, there stood a tall young man.

He has sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high bridge of nose, strong facial features, and looks quite handsome!
He was no more than 30 years old, wearing a black down jacket, carrying a large brown paper bag, and slowly took out a bouquet of flowers, a box of salted duck and a pack of popping candies.

"Su Qianqian, I dreamed of you again last night. You were clamoring for salted goose and popping candy, so I bought them for you early in the morning."

The man put the things neatly one by one and opened the lid. The rich aroma of food suddenly emitted.

He didn't mind being dirty, so he sat down on the steps in front of the tombstone and babbled.

"My mother introduced me to several blind dates, but unfortunately none of them looked like you. What should I do if I don't even like you?"

"The company is developing well. I have opened another rice store in Xuanwu Lake District. Rebus has stopped playing tricks in the past two years, and you can buy rice phones at will."

"Qianqian, this is the latest rice MIX2-S version. It doesn't even need a charger. Is it good?"

As the man spoke, he opened a bottle of white wine and drank heavily.

After a while, his eyes were red, his vision was already blurry, and his small sobs slowly turned into howls.

He and Su Qianqian were both natives of Jinling. They were childhood sweethearts. They met in kindergarten and fell in love on the university campus. When they were about to get married three years after graduation, Su Qianqian had an accident on the plane.

In the eyes of outsiders, it took him two years to come out completely, but in fact, he missed Su Qianqian every minute and every second.

Working hard and making money is just to numb the nerves and temporarily get rid of painful memories.

"Su Qianqian, you don't keep your word. You promised to give me two children, but you left me alone..."

The man sobbed and cried, holding a palm-sized photo frame in his hand. In the photo was a bright and sunny girl with long hair and a sweet smile.

The light blue floral dress is deeply engraved in the memory.

"Su Qianqian, I want to start over. Please, don't appear in my dreams again..."

The man continued intermittently, and with a "bang" sound, the wine bottle slipped from his hand. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he wanted to take out the girl's photo and press it under the flowers.

It was time to bid farewell to his youth. After all, life would go on and he could not live in memories forever.

But when he saw the text behind the photo, he burst into tears and held the photo frame tightly to his chest.

"Mr. Zhou, happy birthday! Come and marry me quickly!"

In my mind, the girl who looked like the white moonlight appeared again!
Heart-wrenching cries rang out in the quiet and empty cemetery. The old man guarding the tomb shrank in fright and muttered: "Can you still cause trouble in broad daylight?"

……

On the other side, Future Technology’s new product launch is still in progress.

In the glittering scene, Zhang Nan stood confidently and said: "Building an eternal virtual world requires a lot of investment in capital, technology and hardware facilities."

“First of all, the construction of a digital virtual world is a huge and complex project. From software development, server leasing, network bandwidth, hardware equipment, personnel salaries, to consciousness information transmission and virtual human construction processes, funds are definitely indispensable.

We have invested a total of 170 billion US dollars, using AI, VR and AR technologies to create a brand new earth-star world in the digital storage space! "

When Zhang Nan said this, he pressed the controller and the oversized LED screen immediately switched screens, showing an antique town in all directions from top to bottom.

"This is where?"

"The pictures and details are so realistic, and the pedestrians on the road are no different from real people. Is this the human-creation technology of the future technology?"

"Chunshen! I understand, this is Mr. Chen's hometown!"

The audience in the audience talked a lot. As the scale of Shanhai Group grew larger and larger, Chen Heyu, as the founder, had been exposed by reporters for more than 20 years of his life experience.

Chunshen, an unknown town in the central region, has become increasingly famous, and the number of tourists it receives every year has also increased dramatically.

It was not surprising that he was recognized by some reporters.

"That's right! The virtual city in the video is indeed Chunshen! In the first phase, the R&D team built a total of 1636 county-level cities, with the main coverage areas being Greater China, Europe and Northberry Island."

Zhang Nan smiled lightly.

“Secondly, in terms of the technology stack, we have integrated Moss Image Special Effects 4.0 and AI Games 4.0 to create objects, scenes and characters in the virtual world. Every strand of hair and every inch of skin color is consistent with the person. .

Using an ordinary monitor to experience interactive design gives people the feeling that the characters in the movie are communicating with us in real time.

Moss intelligent programming software is responsible for building the logical functions of the virtual world; virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, combined with the Dream game cabin, can provide an immersive user experience.

The entry of each immortal user will generate a huge flow of information, and the communication between virtual people will also create a large amount of behavioral and thought data, so a stable network system and physical database are essential.

In the next step, Yukun Space Company is preparing to deploy a communications satellite matrix capable of providing global Internet services in low-Earth orbit, which is expected to be completed by 2021. "

Zhang Nan said frankly.

Communications satellite matrix?

This is exactly the same as Space M’s Starlink plan!
Journalists at home and abroad couldn't help but have countless questions in their minds. If they dare to launch an Internet constellation project in the Greater China region, they want to ride on the head of the three major operators. Is Shanhai Group so awesome?

You know, a small WIFI function has gone through twists and turns.

“Finally, in order to support the operation of large-scale digital virtual worlds, we must have corresponding hardware facilities, including powerful server clusters, high-performance computing equipment, network bandwidth, and storage systems.

In addition, if you want to experience the most realistic virtual reality technology, you need to purchase a Dream gaming helmet version 2.1..."

Zhang Nan said seriously.

Privately, Shanhai Group has also built a super-large water-cooled server cluster under the water of Wandao Lake. Overheating of servers can easily lead to information loss. The high temperature generated by hundreds of billions or trillions of information flows cannot be cooled by air conditioning. What a waste of power resources.

However, the low temperature and constant temperature environment of Wandao Lake all year round can achieve excellent heat dissipation effect.

If it were not for data security issues, Chen Heyu even wanted to build the database in the Arctic Circle, where the cost would be lower.

Of course, perhaps only by developing room-temperature superconducting materials can the heating problems caused by high-speed data transmission be further optimized.

"There are currently 14800 aborigines in the immortal virtual world, all generated using AI models...Wang Qiang, please say hello to everyone."

Zhang Nan continued to add.

When the screen turned, I saw a young man in his 20s, wearing a sportswear, smiling at the audience: "Oh! There are so many viewers at the press conference, I counted, 4257 people , don’t you think it’s crowded?”

"Can he see us?"

"Is this a preset program or is it a real-time exchange of information?" "Oh My God! I must be watching a science fiction movie!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

Some computer and physical scientists are thinking hard about the principles behind the 'immortality system'.

3D graphics engine technology!
virtual reality technology!
Real-time physics engine technology!
Modeling and Animation Technology!
Artificial intelligence technology!
network technology!
Database Technology!
These are the core components of a large-scale digital virtual world. Together they form a complete system that requires constant iteration and optimization. The complexity and redundancy of the amount of data are beyond everyone's imagination.

"I am indeed a program being, but I also have my own judgment. Like just now, I only need to call the camera permissions to know the number of viewers present.

The existence of microphones and speakers also allows me to maintain equal communication with everyone. "

Digital Man Wang Qiang said with a smile.

The reason why he was named Wang Qiang was because Chen Heyu had a bad taste. He chose a name with the highest repetition rate in the country.

By this time, Zhang Nan's work had been completed and he quietly retreated to his seat.

Let digital people and social media reporters talk. Frankly speaking, a virtual person who integrates a lot of information technology will have no lower emotional intelligence, art, and knowledge reserve when speaking than a normal person.

In the audience, Stephen Hawting, Gunter Lobel, Paul Boyer and Thomas Stadt all cheered up. The intelligence of 'Wang Qiang' far exceeded their expectations.

The sky outside the window is getting darker, the lights are starting to turn on, the neon lights are flashing, and the atmosphere in the hall is still hot.

During the half-hour chat, the logical thinking and independent personality displayed by 'Wang Qiang' made people exclaim that it is impossible.

Even the media's question and answer session was handed over to 'Wang Qiang', and he still handled it with ease.

“Can you impact the real world through the Internet?”

A reporter from the beautiful Chinese science and technology magazine "Wired" asked.

"Yes! The Internet is amazing. I can use WeChat and email to communicate with people in the real world without any barriers.

In fact, if the system allows it, I can still get a high-paying programmer job with my excellent programming skills..."

'Wang Qiang' said to himself, completely ignoring the shock of the audience.

A virtual person still wants to work?

So what is the meaning of human existence?

Obviously, Shanhai Group is aware of this problem. In the program settings, digital people are prohibited from intervening in the real world and invading the job opportunities of ordinary people.

At this time, the audience sitting in front of the TV and computer were all confused. The level of research and development of the immortal virtual world has obviously raised the level of the Metaverse by several levels.

Looking back at High Fidelity and Sansar, they are ridiculously crude and cheap!

It was not until 19 o'clock that the new product launch conference ended for five hours, which was called the longest launch conference in history.

The faces of people from all walks of life who walked out of the conference hall did not show signs of exhaustion, but instead were full of excitement and excitement.

They seem to have witnessed that an era of science fiction is coming!

Late that night, a lot of rushed news reports appeared on the headlines of major portal websites. The homepages of Douyin, Feishou, and Shanhai Video were all interview videos of digital man 'Wang Qiang'.

"The first virtual person is about to be born. Do you want your soul to live forever after your body disappears?"

"Stephen Hawting will undergo microelectrode biochip implantation surgery at Yancheng Shanhai Hospital tomorrow and choose to live forever in the cloud!"

"A check-in fee of 6.6 Chinese dollars and an annual technical service fee of 2888 yuan. Is this a new world or an electronic tomb?"

"The international market charging standards are released! The account opening fee is US$1.8, and the technical service fee is US$2888 per year!"

"Shanhai Group announced! It will permanently provide free data services in the digital world to engineering academicians from all over the world!"

The hot search swept the world and had a psychological impact on countless people. It is unknown whether you can enter heaven after death, but if you want to enter the virtual world of eternal life, you only need to pay money.

At the same time, Chen Heyu also met Stephen Hawting and his young son Timothy in Shanhai Hospital.

"I very much appreciate Mr. Huo Ting's decision. In addition to charging a symbolic fee of 2 U.S. dollars, after your death, I will hire you for 20 U.S. dollars per month to become a visiting professor at the Shanhai Video Education Channel. , spread your knowledge to students around the world, the contract period is [-] years.”

Chen Heyu said lightly.

Money didn't matter, but the attraction of preaching and solving problems undoubtedly scratched Stephen's itch.

"Didn't Mr. Chen say that digital people are prohibited from working in the real world?"

Hawting asked using Mosque glasses.

"In my opinion, Mr. Huo Ting is not an ordinary numbers person. The rules are strict. I am the boss, so naturally I have the final say."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

His eyes looked at Huo Ting with a strange look, as if he were looking at another product or a delicacy.

He had never expected to catch a big fish like Huo Ting.

Only by setting a good example can we attract a steady stream of physicists, chemists, biologists, astronomers, geographers and medical scientists in the future.

The evolution speed of Moss intelligence will increase at a geometric rate!

After obtaining Huo Ting's consent, the entire implantation operation was made public. The aging Huo Ting obviously couldn't stand the trouble.

Even with the world's top surgeons and nursing teams, Hawting could barely get out of the operating room.

Fortunately, everything went well. Huo Ting, who had been practicing for a week, immediately used a biochip to continuously upload brain wave signals to the server, including his life's growth experience, knowledge and scientific experience.

David Roefeller spent 10 billion US dollars and only got a semi-finished product. Stephen Hawting is the first virtual human in the true sense of the human race.

As for his annual income of US$24, Hawting generously donated it.

Because his children are basically successful in their careers. The eldest son works at Weisoft Research Institute, the eldest daughter is a well-known writer in Fog Country, and the younger son works in Lehao ​​and does not need this money.

"999! I can only say that it has been doubled. The account opening fee is 6.6, I really can't afford to die!"

"Deliver another takeout! Work hard for the next life!"

"With US$170 billion, plus huge annual maintenance costs, can future technology really pay for itself?"

"Please! The account opening fee and technical service fee are just the basics. If you want to live a life of villas and luxury cars in the virtual world of immortality, you will need a lot of money!"

While netizens were still hesitating, a young man from Jinling City rushed to the Lucheng office overnight. (End of chapter)
