As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Under the combination of the virtual world and the real world, traditional chain catering groups failed very quickly, and the difference between them was even greater than that between Shein and Zara.

No, it should be the gap between traditional manual workshops and modern assembly line operations.

Kechuangbiology gave these Internet giants an open feeling to collect permissions and related equipment. In the past ten years, these companies have used this permission to create new value for many real-life business models by using the virtual world. Between reality and virtual It was completely opened up.

This authority is known as the license of the virtual world, and later economists called this franchise in the virtual age.

When an Internet company that obtained the license went bankrupt and liquidated the year before last, the license was sold for a sky-high price of nearly 500 billion yuan.

People even think that Goldman Sachs, which won the license, has made a lot of money.

The restaurant industry is only among the hardest hit.

Internet companies that have obtained licenses have either participated in or invested in shares, and have supported a large number of chain catering companies that use the virtual world to optimize tastes.

When traditional catering develops dishes, it can only be tested by the R&D team and a small number of customers. In the end, it still needs to be pushed to the market, and the feedback from the market will determine whether the new dishes have the prospect of large-scale promotion.

Even for global chain catering giants like KFC or McDonald's, the number of testers assigned to a specific dish is less than three digits.

And using the virtual world, these new catering establishments can solicit the opinions of millions or even tens of millions of users.

At the same time, this is also a marketing activity for their new products.

Combined with artificial intelligence technology, it can make the taste different in each region.

New-style catering groups are in full swing. Even if they are central kitchens with strict hygienic standards, all additives will never exceed the requirements of national standards. When you taste them in restaurants or at home, you will be full of praise for the taste.

But this feeling that even my sense of taste is being controlled by others subconsciously feels that this is unreasonable.

But the real world tells me that everyone welcomes this model and thinks it's the way of the future.

Even now that the new catering groups have iterated to the latest model, they will give you the illusion that they are only serving you.

You first taste all the samples provided by the group today in the Blue Star No. [-], and you don’t even need to actually eat the food in the virtual world.

When you smell a dozen or so small bottles, you will have the corresponding sense of taste and smell reverberating in your brain, and then you choose your favorite flavors.

Then you decide what you want to eat in the morning, in the evening, and in the evening, and they will specially deliver these foods to your door.

The Wall Street Journal thinks this is a great model in their column, and thinks that everyone no longer has to worry about eating. Catering groups will provide you with countless choices. You only need to try the choices, and you can taste them in the real world. Your favorite flavor of the day.

Even though artificial meat is becoming more and more common in burgers nowadays, everyone seems to have become accustomed to it, but eating real meat has become the object of contempt by environmentalists.

The so-called we are already in the 30s, how can we keep the bad habits of the 20s.

For a moment I didn't know if I was crazy or they were crazy.

Including new-style catering groups that can provide customized services according to your needs. For example, if you want to eat healthier, the flavors they provide you are made with less additives.

With hundreds of flavors, you can always pick the one that suits you best, even if it doesn't have an industrial taste.

After hearing all of the above, I feel like this is truly a genius mod that solves one of the biggest everyday dilemmas everyone has: what am I going to eat today.

But I don't like the feeling that this sense of taste is being kidnapped, and I don't like a life where there are no mistakes and no accidents.

No matter what kind of film and television works mentioned before, no matter how crazy the cyberpunk world mentioned, I think people's diet is also in the normal range.

Poor people eat poor-tasting nutritional supplements, while rich people eat all kinds of specially grown non-polluting crops and specially farmed pure natural meat.

It has never been imagined that the virtual world, combined with the central kitchen and artificial intelligence, can radiate such great power.

It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not, eat more additives and artificial meat if you don’t have money, eat less additives and eat more high-quality ingredients if you have money.

But the essence is the same, your taste has been kidnapped by the new catering group in all aspects.

Sometimes I go to Broadway, which is far less prosperous than before, on weekends, and then pass by the empty restaurants on the street, only the dusty posters hanging on the walls tell of its former glory.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Countless distinctive restaurants are vulnerable to new catering groups.

Chapter 5 Blue Star II

Blue Star II is the greatest invention of the 21st century.

In the past, whether it was Cyber ​​Pengcheng from Goose Factory, My VR World from Microsoft, or VR New York from Meta, all of these were just projecting part of the real world into the virtual world.

Even though my vr world is ambitious, the purpose is to build cities one by one, and finally realize the purpose of replicating all the cities in the real world in vr.

However, limited by the computing power of silicon-based chips and the need to achieve a certain balance between cost and revenue, Microsoft had to give up this idea.

Choose to build a super-large city, and then allow people to build their own castles by themselves, paying for the Internet connection model.

Blue Star No. [-] is the first one, and of course only science and innovation creatures have the ability to map the entire blue star in the real world to the virtual world.

And in the virtual world, you can almost achieve all the flavors that you have in the real world.

I also tried Huaguo's hot pot for the first time in Lanxing No. [-]. Although it is very famous, I have never tried it out of fear of this dark cuisine.

It was not until the media friend I met when I went to Huaguo for a meeting that I reconnected with me in the virtual world. At his invitation, I tried hot pot for the first time.

I have no way of judging whether this miraculous taste is consistent with the real world, but from his expression and demeanor, I think it should be.

Because the float I tasted in the virtual town of New Bern, North Carolina tasted exactly like the real world.

You must know that except for North Carolina people, few people in other states have tasted this taste.

And what I want to describe in this chapter is the currency system adopted by Blue Star II.

As we all know, governments around the world have been trying to promote their own digital currencies.

Regardless of whether it is American, Huaguo, or other countries, I am sorry not that other countries are not important, but that in the mind of an American, when other countries are mentioned, the first reaction is Huaguo.

This name has been seen too many times on TV shows, various politicians, and on the Internet.

On the eve of the release of Blue Star II, economists were very interested in what kind of currency Blue Star II would adopt.

Because whether it is the currency in the magical world or the fantasy world, it is a currency system determined by its game background, and it cannot be directly exchanged with real-world currency through official channels.

There is no official currency transaction channel.

But Blue Star No. [-] is different. Since the construction of Blue Star No. [-] was authorized to these Internet giants, Ms. Li Miaomiao, the actual controller of Kechuang Biology, expressed a kind of expectation for Blue Star No. [-].

Because many times, if you want to accomplish something, you need to learn to share benefits. If you don’t understand that there will be an upper limit to the development of benefit sharing.

It has to be said that Ms. Li Miaomiao's ambition has made Blue Star No. [-] an unshakable position.

First, they chose to recruit Bluestar's most prestigious economists, and hoped that they would give a plan about what kind of currency system Bluestar [-] should adopt after it is released to all human beings.

It is to create a brand new currency out of thin air, then find an anchor point, and tie the brand new currency to the anchor point from issuance to pricing.

These economists have given many proposals. Since the meeting and the results of the meeting have never been made public, we do not know which economist proposed the current currency system.

There are quite a few discrepancies in what they claim.

I believe it was proposed by scholars of the Chicago School of Economics, but I don't know more specifically.

In short, after Li Miaomiao decided on the plan, he started lengthy negotiations with the governments of various countries.

Blue Star II directly adopts the currency system of the real world.

In other words, real-world currencies can be used directly in Blue Star II.

And all economic circulation activities in Blue Star No. [-] are in circulation with the real world.

How much money do I spend in Blue Star II to pay the other party to purchase services? After the other party gets the money, they can return to reality by paying a certain handling fee according to the withdrawal channel.

For all countries, their own land area is multiplied by two out of thin air, and their own currency has a new destination.

The currency of global inflation has a new direction.

This is equivalent to completely binding the currency system of the virtual world with the real world, and there is no boundary between the real world and the virtual world.

Li Miaomiao sold such a big piece of cake to the governments of various countries out of thin air, which led to the smooth flow of subsequent construction of virtual reality equipment and biological communication networks in all countries.

What I admire most is that all the properties in Blue Star No. [-] are only leased and not sold.

After years of decryption, we can know that this decision was also made by Ms. Li Miaomiao.

I have to say this is a very wise approach.

It's hard to restrain yourself.

For an organization or a company, there are so many benefits in front of you, and you can swallow them slowly.

The most valuable thing in Blue Star No. [-] is undoubtedly the massive real estate, including residences, office buildings, tourist real estate and so on.

Because you feel the same in the virtual world as in the real world.

Including weather and climate are kept consistent with the real world.

As a result, theoretically speaking, real estate in the virtual world has the same value as the real estate in the real world, or even higher.

Real-world properties can be damaged by age and suffer from all kinds of problems due to the time they are inhabited.

The virtual world will not, what it is now, it will still be like this ten, twenty, and fifty years from now.

For science and innovation creatures, they can take part in part of the real estate*** such as the real estate next to Central Park in New York today, Beverly Hills in Los Angeles tomorrow, and Bill Gates' mansion on the shore of Lake Washington in Seattle the day after tomorrow.

Anyway, the mountain mansion in the virtual world does not belong to Bill Gates.

There are countless such top-level residences around the world that allow scientific and innovative creatures to fetch sky-high prices in the virtual world.

At the same time, there are countless ordinary houses that can also be sold to ordinary people at a low but not so low price.

At that time, some institutions estimated that considering the current assets, Kechuangbio sold a part of its real estate every year, and they could guarantee an annual income of trillions of dollars for hundreds of years.

But Kechuangbiology did not choose to do this. Li Miaomiao chose to rent all the real estate in the virtual world to users according to a certain percentage of their real world value.

Although rich people still live in luxury houses in the virtual world, poor people can also live in better quality houses in the virtual world.

And if Kechuangbiology chooses to sell virtual real estate, the proletarians will also continue to be propertyless in the virtual world.

It was these two measures that led to the complete prosperity of Blue Star II.

From every choice made by Ms. Li Miaomiao, I can only feel two words, that is respect.

Kechuang Bio also fully reflects that it is not a completely profit-oriented enterprise.

Now more than 30 billion people live in Blue Star II every day.

The entertainment ecology of Blue Star No. [-] is even richer than that in the real world.

More than a dozen Internet companies from Huaguo and American provided suggestions for the operation of Blue Star No. [-], which has become a paradise for entertainment, and the best reflection of the real world in the virtual world.

I still hold some not-so-good points.

The life in the real world is too difficult compared to the life in Blue Star No. [-], and the same quality of service can be enjoyed in the virtual world, and the price is less than one percent of the real world.

Even some special services, because in the virtual world, service providers and service buyers will realize that the real world and the virtual world are separated at this time, so this kind of service should be greatly discounted in the virtual world.

Even if it feels the same as the real world.

The virtual world is leading to more and more divorces and infidelities.

People are having fun in the virtual world, where cheating without any risk of getting caught.

At the same time, you can comfort yourself that the virtual world is different from the real world.

More and more people have suggested that Blue Star No. [-] is life, and Blue Star is the slogan of reality.

Life is comfortable and pleasant; reality is bitter and difficult.

This has led to a continuous increase in labor costs in both the service industry and the manufacturing industry.

Young people would rather choose to do odd jobs in the real world for a period of time, and after saving some money, they start to live completely in the virtual world.

There are more and more young people like this.
