Build Madness

Virtual reality technology was born in the 1960s, and it was only used in the military and aerospace fields at first.

In the new century, with the development of science and technology, VR games have emerged, and fantasy virtual reality online novels have also become popular. Coupled with the popular artificial intelligence, virtual reality technology has gradually become familiar to people.

However, people's understanding of it has always remained at the level of online games, rather than realizing what kind of social changes this technology will cause once it is commercialized.

Now.

When you see the integration of brain-computer and remote control...

When seeing a patient who has lost the ability to act autonomously, start a new life with the help of a brain computer...

When I saw the moon base, countless robot-style 'rubber prostheses' stood up...

It is conceivable that in the future, human beings will be able to explore, mine, develop, and even fight on exoplanets without interstellar voyages...

At this moment, the whole world was shocked!

The people who came after hearing the news crowded the live broadcast room of the press conference.

In less than ten minutes, the Panda Guardian Forum, the largest gathering place for Internet users in the world, has reached a record high in the number of posts, far exceeding the sum of hot topics in the past.

Tiancheng, TC, brain computer, brain imaging, remote micro-control, photon communication, virtual reality, interstellar miners, interstellar mines, moon base, gene medicine liquid, brain and kidney tonic liquid... instantly became the most searched words in the history of the Internet .

On this day, there are 4.5 billion online people worldwide.

On this day, the ratings of programs related to the press conference were as high as 99%.

On this day, the web supported by various browsers continued to crash.

On this day, the online real-time translator of Montenegro Odyssey's antivirus agent officially charges.

Why don't you enable barrage translation?

Fuck! Live translator 128 Franklin per quarter?!

God, look at those evil capitalists in Montenegro Odyssey!

Why? You can only try the live broadcast for two minutes? You need to register for a Shenlong account for the exciting content later?

Shit, there is also a fee for registering a Shenlong account? Recharge 198 Franklin?

VIP exclusive? Do you still need to apply for VIP?!

I have a Shenlong account, why was I kicked out?

You didn't recharge, did you?

Crazy! They want money like crazy!

In Europe, in North America, in South America, in Australia, countless people cursed and vented...

Unfortunately, it's of no use.

However, the Shenlong account holders who stayed in the forum, that is, activated the payment system through 'face recognition', entered the 'Tiancheng Interstellar Service Official Website' according to the prompts in the webcast room.

Then I was instantly stunned by the dazzling array of black technology products.

What?

With the attitude of giving it a try, I bought a pair of artificial kidneys, but my kidneys are very healthy and don't need to be replaced at all.

Refund!

Can't retreat, the background prompts that the Qingshan medical team is on the emergency plane.

I wish you a happy new life.

...

……………

UFO Stadium.

More than 15,000 people from all walks of life stood up collectively.

Apparently, these people look deeper and further away.

For example, the chairman of the board of directors first thought of the three million disabled people who cannot maintain their lives, as well as many impoverished groups who have lost the ability to move independently or suffer from physical disabilities. It means that China is about to usher in a huge production force.

For example, the elders, combined with the speech at the national meeting and the industry report submitted by Tiancheng, they finally confirmed that China has risen. Looking back on the difficulties in the past and the fewer and fewer old friends, they couldn't help crying...

For example, the invited entrepreneurs thought of the virtual economy jointly created by Tianyu International, Tianrong, Tianchuang, and Tiancheng Online Shopping. Undoubtedly, this is a brand new market. Of course, no matter what they do, they must be worthy of conscience. It is the first rule of Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce.

For example, thousands of journalists at home and abroad have already started to inquire about the qualification certificates of virtual journalists from the Tiancheng standard...

five minutes later.

The dome AR device is turned off and the stage lights are turned on.

Ge Xiaotian was in the center, with an aura of holding the whole world, Does it feel a bit sci-fi? No, this is reality!

clatter...

No need for red envelopes to encourage, the audience applauded wildly.

Next, we will enter the questioning session. For the sake of fairness, I will randomly select from the seats of more than 7,000 reporters...

First, number 3145.

In the stands on the second floor of Area E, a reporter from the Emirates stood up, Mr. Ge, according to Mr. Nikola's demonstration before, it is not difficult to find that Tiancheng's existing technology can completely achieve 'human-machine integration', that is, control machines through thinking. arm.

However, Tiancheng chose to put in robots or rubber figures first, and then access them through brain-computer, allowing users to fit these prostheses, and then control the construction equipment. Is it more complicated?

This is a very technical question, be careful.

Ge Xiaotian nodded, and turned on an AR device beside him, Tiancheng's development philosophy is always people-oriented, no matter how powerful we are, we should never forget that we are human race.

I don't hope that in the future, people will become cold machines, but I hope that people will become a famous super mechanic, it's as simple as that.

clatter...

However, there is another important reason not to follow the 'integration of man and machine', that is, human thinking tends to diverge.

What does that mean?

That is to say, you are integrated with the machinery, and when you operate the bucket, push bucket, and mechanical arm, you will involuntarily look into the distance, and even think about digging out the minerals in the distance.

In this way, when the device receives the signal, it will suddenly rush to the distant target according to your divergent thinking...

Accidents happen.

And adopting 'man-machine separation technology' can perfectly avoid this link and ensure construction safety.

clatter...

in addition……

Ge Xiaotian looked at the AR device that was turned on before, and it showed a world outlined by blue lines, with cars coming and going in the streets and alleys, and a bustling scene.

In addition, it is impossible for people to work around the clock. Even if the brain-computer world adopts deep sleep technology, it will inevitably cause mental damage if it goes on for a long time. You must know that until now, the 'spirit', that is, the 'soul', is still life restricted area.

Therefore, we have launched two modes of awake state and light sleep state to ensure that users who stay in the virtual world for a long time can get a rest time.

In the waking state, users can call friends to go shopping, or date, study, and enter the brain area network to communicate with other users to relieve mental fatigue.

In the semi-awake state, users can enter the 'inner world', spawn monsters, compete, and cooperate to start a group to play dungeons for venting and decompression.

Speaking, Ge Xiaotian concluded: It can be said that the TC brain computer series is a mature technology that is people-oriented, and its purpose is to promote the development of all mankind in order to cope with the unpredictable future.

At the same time, the game mode will also cultivate a large number of all-round players whose physical fitness is comparable to Tianwei, or even surpasses Tianwei.

I believe that in the near future, they will become supermen and heroes of the human race against mutant creatures!

Aw~~

Roar~~

After the words fell, many overseas reporters, especially European and American, who worshiped individual heroism, shouted directly.

There are even a few excited people who want to rush to the stage and can't wait to enter the virtual world...

The venue was a little chaotic, but fortunately, in order to protect the board area, Tianwei security guards were all over the venue, and quickly subdued the foreigners who were so excited that they went berserk.

And the live broadcast room and the forum exploded even more.

The equipment has been purchased, when will the other world be opened?

I don't mine, I just want to become stronger!

I've already imagined myself in full body, Ollie! The medical cabin is here!

Made, cheap hand, snapping up a helmet without muscle memory, who wants it? I want to change the medical cabin!

Mmp, are you so fast? 20,000 medical cabins sold out in an instant?

Protest, why is there no Zifeng network in North America?

Protest, why is there no Zigbee network in Europe?

Silly X upstairs, connect to Zifeng interstellar, that is photon communication, Zifeng network does not support brain-computer connection.

Protest, there are too few medical cabins!

Protest, Tian Cheng is engaging in hunger marketing!

……………

UFO Stadium.

Questions continue.

Mr. Ge, there have been complaints on the Internet that the number of TC-type brain machines is too small. Would you like to explain this?

Tiancheng is a private company in Huaxia. We first consider the disadvantaged groups in Huaxia, that is, we are the first to release 3 million units to subsidize patients who have lost the ability to act autonomously, reduce the board of directors' expenses, and enhance Huaxia's cohesion and productivity.

Mr. Ge, the brain-computer is so powerful, the price must be very expensive, and the patients who lose the ability to move autonomously must use the highest-level medical cabin. Can you disclose the price of this equipment? And the monthly salary limit of these people is one-third When will the second installment be due?

Although Tiancheng is committed to charity and will take out 5% of the income every year to help those in need, it does not mean that Tiancheng is a charity organization. The highest standard medical cabin is worth 20 million yuan, and the current monthly income of the sponsored group is about 2000 yuan. Red notes, they... may stay inside permanently, of course, they can apply for termination of the agreement within half a year, Tiancheng will not charge any fees, and the salary will be paid as usual, but they will no longer be eligible to return to the virtual world in the future.

...

The scene was silent.

At this moment, no one talked about human rights, and no one said that Tian Cheng's actions were unethical.

Because losing the ability to act autonomously in reality means... there is no future, death is only a matter of time, and even living is more painful than dying.

And Tian Cheng gave them a new life with two-thirds of the upper limit of their monthly income that they didn't have originally...

This is clearly charity.

At least one-third of the remaining monthly income will allow them to live well.

At least in the virtual world, they can live a happier and more dignified life.

clatter...

Once again there was warm applause.

Especially the elders and board members stood up and applauded.

A set of 20 million high-end medical cabins, the first batch of recipients is about 3 million, and the follow-up recipients are as high as 10 million. The board of directors simply cannot bear it.

Tian Cheng stood up and handed over the honor of medical relief to the board of directors...

The construction fees of land, steel, Huaneng Construction and other groups have become less important, so what if they give it to Tiancheng for free?

Well, this is one of the documents sent by the capital with an unmanned fighter plane.

clatter...

The applause lasted for a long time.

In the forum, there are already countless family members of patients who have lost the ability to act autonomously who are waiting for funding, and have voiced their support for Tiancheng.

Many people even said that even if they don't give a penny, the family members are willing, at least to ease the pressure of life of the family members.

A reporter took the network dynamics as a live question, Mr. Ge, what do you think?

Feelings?

Ge Xiaotian showed an inexplicable smile, To be honest, I used to be very dissatisfied with this world. I once wanted to launch the 'Civilization Restart Plan', that is...destroy everything that exists on the mother planet and let the mother planet start anew.

hiss……

The audience gasped.

How dare you say such words on such an occasion?

Even the elders and the members of the board of directors changed their expressions in unison.

There is no doubt that Tian Cheng has this ability.

...

However, I quickly discovered that although there are many places in this world that I am not satisfied with, the whole world is full of desirable beauty. Therefore, I decided to keep her and guard her until the end of time.

...

After a while.

Questions continue.

Mr. Ge, the virtual world is bound to give birth to a new economy, but it is not an industry. Tiancheng, as the leader of the industry, has countless factories, retail stores, and commercial buildings. If, I say, if, if people all enter the virtual world, the reality How to run it? For example, retail stores are unsalable, factories are shut down, layoffs are all over the place, causing mass unemployment...

This reporter friend mentioned a crucial issue.

Ge Xiaotian opened a video, In fact, Tiancheng was evolving a virtual economy a long time ago, such as VR shopping, VR real estate, VR cars...

Yes, it is estimated that many friends have thought of Tiancheng's solution, that is, when you buy a virtual product, a corresponding real product will be produced.

In other words, if you buy a fashion in the virtual world, according to the price and craftsmanship, we will send you the same dress in reality, and the price difference is only the service fee.

In this way, you are a swordsman in the virtual world, and one day when netizens are gathering in reality, you can also appear wearing the same style.

Of course, we will make major adjustments to consumables such as food. For example, the real hotel is responsible for operating the virtual hotel. When you enjoy food in the virtual world, the hotel will deliver it to you. Kidney tonifying liquid, and the subsequent high-concentration nutrient solution, and even a general-purpose genetic enhancement medicine.

It can be said that we will let you feel the value for money in the virtual world!

Mr. Ge, the virtual world is open, and the real world is restarted. What do you do with the VR real estate and VR cars bought by rich players before?

After the discount, it will be exchanged for real estate and vehicles in the virtual world.

Mr. Ge, what kind of model is the virtual world currency system? Is it linked to external currencies?

For virtual currency operations, Tiancheng has conducted many experiments, including the Shenlong Legendary Currency Group, Shenlong Continental Auction House, 3D Martial Arts Official Bank, Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce in the world in VR, and Tiancheng Work Points in reality. After four years of research, we have formulated for the virtual world established a mature 'Second World Monetary System'.

Ge Xiaotian switched to AR, As we all know, Tiancheng developed the virtual world with the intention of mining, collecting lunar soil containing helium three, or mining heavy metals on other planets.

These are the main tasks of the first batch of 3 million grantees qualified for internal testing.

With the help of the 'prosthesis' transported to the moon, they will drive lunar minecarts, collect resources, and get paid.

Well, players... same thing.

Remember 'Dragon Legend'? What is the most important daily routine for players?

It is mining.

Then, in the virtual world, the most important daily routine for players is still mining.

If you don't mine, you have no money.

...

Are you a player who is going to spend hundreds of millions to buy your equipment as free labor?

Some people may say that I use players as free labor, but you are short-sighted!

Just imagine, what will players do when they get virtual currency?

Eat, drink and be merry!

Combined with what I said before, when you go to a virtual hotel to eat, the real hotel will deduct the service fee and send nutrient solution to the player.

do you understand? This is a game that can make a lot of money and let you prostitute nutrient solution for nothing. Most importantly, it is free forever!

...

Sounds reasonable, but something doesn't feel right...

wrong!

Forever free!

Netizens were shocked instantly.

Can Tiancheng play free games?

Don't you see that the Sudan developed by Tianyu killed many billionaires. It is said that the former general manager of North American finance has entered.

The reporter on the scene quickly got feedback from the forum: Mr. Ge, there are currently about... no, it is a unanimous request for virtual world online games to be changed to a charging model, preferably point card.

This...isn't it good? The equipment is so expensive, and there is a charge...I can't bear it with my conscience.

Mr. Ge, some netizens said that they have bought such expensive equipment, and they are not short of this little card money.

Really charge?

Netizens agree that there must be a fee! Of course, the purpose of the fee is to implement the paid game agreement in Tiancheng's standard, that is, no functional items, attribute items, etc. can be sold in the mall.

This... how embarrassing.

Mr. Ge, repeat the previous question, is the virtual world currency linked to the real currency system?

It is only linked to red banknotes, only out and not in, that is, virtual currency can be exchanged for red banknotes. The current exchange rate is 1:1, but red banknotes cannot be exchanged for virtual currency.

Mr. Ge, I'm afraid this will soon cause inflation on your side.

Let's wait and see.

Ge Xiaotian smiled confidently.

Virtual reality, what is virtual reality, virtual real labor, that is, mining, generates virtual value, and then virtual consumption, in the long run, the real value is not reflected, which is bound to cause deflation.

Because the actual consumption is less.

However, Tiancheng linked the real industry with the virtual industry, and then opened a one-way exchange system, a large amount of real value was reflected, and deflation was instantly relieved.

If it goes on for a long time, a large number of virtual currencies will be converted into red banknotes, which will indeed cause inflation.

But the reporter who asked the question forgot that the game needs to buy equipment, skills, and potions...

A large amount of value that needs to be reflected in reality evaporates in the game, so inflation cannot be caused.

'Nomad is indeed a genius. '

Thinking of this, Ge Xiaotian was full of emotions. He felt that he was dark enough, but he never expected that the wandering stars who planned the inner world since the birth of the optical core server would be even darker.

As long as everything is under control... Doesn't it mean that there are as many free workers as there are players?

No, they are still free laborers who voluntarily buy point cards.
