Minke's black technology

Chapter 396 Virtual Economy
Breath means growth.

"Soil" refers to the soil in which one grows, and is used to describe the image of the virtual world. With the increase of registered users, the virtual world is also constantly getting bigger.

According to the design, the world of Xiran should be divided into three layers. The first layer is semi-immersive, and users can enter with a snake-eye VR device. It is more like the "Oasis" in "Ready Player One". The vision and hearing come from the virtual world. But other sensory signals still come from the real world.

As long as you take off the VR device, you can leave the virtual world and return to reality. The switching between the two is very simple and convenient, and there will be no situation like "Sword Art Online" where you want to leave the game but have no choice.

In this layer, most of them are commercial application scenarios, such as online supermarkets, online clothing stores, online electrical appliances stores, online meeting rooms, online teaching, online private spaces, etc. Usually, people use the first layer of virtual world to communicate with reality. The world interacts, and the two are very closely integrated, and basically can achieve both life and entertainment.

Every registered user can get a private space for free, which comes with several scene maps, such as island beaches, tropical rainforests, starry and moonlit nights, and desert wilderness, etc.

In these private spaces, users can freely switch scenes, and can also increase the types of scenes through paid purchases, and even add personal items to the scenes, such as personal villas, personal farms, and personal sea areas.

The second layer of the world is fully immersive. Users need to use the egg cabin VR device to enter the game. Except for some senses of smell and taste that cannot be simulated, basically all the signals of the five senses come from the virtual world, completely embracing the reality of the outside world. The world is completely isolated from the player.

If the user wants to leave the virtual world and return to reality, he needs to stop the operation of the egg pod first, and then he can escape smoothly. Moreover, the egg pod also has restrictions on where it can be used, and it cannot be installed anywhere.

In the second layer of the world, there are many game spaces. Currently, only the ancient Chinese immortal cultivation game built by the Meow Star Group is running. Each user can play a role in the game. Free users can only play civilian roles, and the characters In addition to the attached models, there are only character models that are automatically created according to the player's personal image.

If the player is willing to pay the fee, in addition to improving the character's status level, he can also modify and replace the character model. With enough money, he can also customize it. However, the customized image must conform to the character's status and game background. It must not be in the background of Dongfang Cultivation of Immortals. Angels and demons in Western fantasy appear.

In addition, there are equipment weapons and skills, etc., which can be obtained through krypton gold, so this game is both loved and hated by people, and there is an endless stream of people who join to play.

Just like the "Oasis" game, once a player dies in the game, the game character will be regarded as dead, and then all equipment attributes and even the money on the body will be completely emptied!
Therefore, not only killing monsters can explode equipment, but PK players can also, and the income is likely to be much higher than that of monsters. Of course, PK between players can only be carried out in the wild, and even attacks cannot be done in safe areas.

As the number of game companies entering the "River World" increases, there will be more entrances to the virtual game world. They must also abide by the basic rules of the "Rest World". Players will definitely drop equipment and props when they die, and use the same currency system. .

At present, there are only two worlds in the "Xi Soil World", and the third virtual world has not yet been opened. It is estimated that the server group on the moon will be built, and then the quantum communication technology will be popularized before it can be officially opened.

"At that time, I'm afraid I have to be connected through a brain chip to enter, and I need to be in a deep sleep state!" Li Maoye thought to himself.

Only when such a person dies can he fully upload all his memory information and consciousness, so as to continue to survive in the virtual world in the form of a digital life, thereby achieving an alternative way of immortality.

So far, Meow Star Group has opened up three paths in the immortality plan, among which the farthest should be "mechanical immortality", which replaces the protein brain with an electronic brain through cyborgization, although both memory information and soul consciousness are transformed into Digital format, but it still has a physical body, which can communicate with "digital life".

Therefore, in a sense, "digital immortality" and "mechanical immortality" are indistinguishable from each other, but one is more detached from the real and the other is still based on the real material foundation, and the impact of its actions is also reflected. in the real universe.

In addition, there is the slow-developing "genetic immortality". However, with the birth of the black technology of heterogeneous parasitism, Meow Star Technology has taken a big step forward on this road. After all, many wealthy and powerful people prefer this road. Therefore, Meow Star Lab has invested more in this area.

Genetic immortality is more in line with the concept of human beings, and it also needs to be placed on the basis of real materials. Unlike virtual worlds and mechatronic digital lives, it requires keeping the genetic material of human beings as much as possible, and then realizing immortality in the material sense.

"This road is the most difficult!"

Li Maoye sighed, even if the Titans have not reached the end yet, their longevity serum can only last for a few thousand years, if compared with the normal human life span of a hundred years, it is only a few dozen times increased That's all.

In the natural world, some animals have easily surpassed their own lifespan by a hundred times by chance. It can be seen that this long-lived serum has not changed even the laws of nature, and it is far from reaching the level of immortality.

Now Li Maoye's energy is being involved in the "breathing soil world", so the research on the other two longevity technologies has basically stagnated. On the one hand, he has to wait for the Blue Star Technology to make a breakthrough before he can come up with new technologies in a down-to-earth manner. Otherwise, everything is a castle in the air; on the other hand, he really has no motivation to do these research work, at least he thinks he still has a lot of time, so he can study slowly.

However, after the birth of the "Soil World" as a backup plan, it has indeed brought a new impetus to the world economy, especially for those countries without industries and resources, they could only do tourism and service industries. , there is nothing more to do.

It's completely different now, just like rich and capable people don't like to play games, most of the rabbits in the flower planter's home country only stay in the first layer of the "Xi Soil World", and rarely go deep into the second layer world Playing games, after all, there are many things to be busy at ordinary times. Entering the first-level world is for the needs of work and life. As for pure entertainment in the virtual world, it is very at least.

On the contrary, those who have no money and skills are more likely to indulge in the game. Of course, many of the guys who have no money are strong, but without good luck and good luck, half of their lives are poor. They have obtained unprecedented fair opportunities in the game. Money people can spend money in it to become stronger, but at least they can also become as powerful by spending time.

The same principle applies to countries. Those countries have obtained a new development path in the "Xi Soil World". Their people may not have jobs in the real world, but after entering the virtual world, it is very likely that they will be An experienced player manages a game guild with hundreds or thousands of people.

What is even more exciting is that Meow Star Group announced that the currency in the game can be directly exchanged with RMB at a ratio of 10:1. If you have a personal electronic payment account, you can even use the game currency as money. Even the exchange procedures are omitted.

In short, playing games can earn money to support their families, which is true for most people, so more and more people have entered the game, breaking through one billion in just half a year!
This blow of the Meow Star Group has completely smashed other VR game platforms to pieces. They originally had an absolute advantage in game performance and the number of users. Now that the currency supports direct exchange, users have transferred to the "Xi Soil World" one after another. make money.

This method of linking the game currency with the real currency, of course, has been approved and endorsed by the flower planting government. Only with official guarantees can the game currency be valuable. However, the currency in the game is not issued arbitrarily, but needs to be provided by the Meow Star Group. Make a guarantee.

However, Meow Star Group has a lot of money. Its problem is not that it has no money, but that it earns too much money and has no place to spend it. Now putting it in the virtual world is also considered a form of investment.

Other countries support their own people to enter the game. On the one hand, it is to solve social problems. If people without jobs go in to play games, the society will naturally be stable; It will naturally increase, and it can be regarded as a means of economic development in the new era, which is worthy of vigorous promotion and encouragement.

All in all, a game has stirred up the global international economic situation, affecting all countries, and at the same time solved the local stability problems of many countries.
