March 15, 192 in the federal calendar.
Under great expectations, the day has come when the human virtual network will be merged into the interstellar network of the Galactic Alliance before you know it.
City in the Sky, the center of the command room on the top floor of the civilization, Zhou Xing and a group of scientists presided over the grid connection ceremony. The huge command screen was densely packed, displaying various data flows.
It is not difficult to integrate human virtual networks into interstellar networks. However, it is necessary to prevent alien forces within the Galactic Alliance that are malicious to human civilization or are ready to test the technological foundation of human civilization.
The virtual network is the second world in which human civilization exists. A large number of economic activities in human society are closely related to it. If it encounters any unexpected damage, the loss will be incalculable.
"Mr. Zhou, all technical tests have confirmed that there is no problem!"
"Mr. Zhou, the network security system has been activated and can be connected to the grid."
"Mr. Zhou, the filtering defense device is operating normally, and the tunnel quantum communication device has successfully connected to the interstellar network."
"Mr. Zhou, the grid connection data has been uploaded and synchronized with the star network..."
“…”
The technicians at the command console all looked at Zhou Xing and reported one after another that the grid connection work was ready, and all that was needed now was Zhou Xing's order.
Facing the expectant eyes of his subordinates, Zhou Xing looked at the grid connection operator Zhang Rui and ordered: "Formally merge into the Star Network."
"Understood!" Zhang Ruizhong nodded, with a solemn expression, and pressed the confirmation button of the grid connection linker.
The next second, everyone looked at the large command screen in unison, and saw that the originally orderly data flow suddenly seemed like a dam being broken. The data flow surged forward at a very fast speed.
"The grid connection was successful, and the intersection data generated instantly reached: 1.7YB."
"The security network successfully blocked 1.1279 million dangerous accesses, and the security defense system is working normally."
"The operating efficiency of the tunnel star network link is: 57%, energy consumption is normal, and data processing is normal."
“…”
As soon as the operation to merge into the star network was started, all the operators on the command platform entered a state of tension. High-pitched reports sounded one after another. The scene was busy and orderly, and the atmosphere was exciting.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The operation to merge into the Star Network was successfully implemented, and it seemed that there would be no problem.
The human Internet was born based on 13 root servers, with 1 as the main root server and the remaining 12 as auxiliary root servers. ICANN, the Internet domain name and number allocation agency, is under the unified management and is responsible for the Internet domain name root servers, domain name systems and IP addresses. Management eventually forms a large network covering all mankind. Human beings are connected to this large network through computers, smartphones, mobile phones... and other terminal electronic products.
Entering the era of virtual networks, other changes have occurred in the way of networking. The root server is still responsible for the management of the Internet. However, the virtual network relies on the data generated by the biochip in the virtual device to convert biological signals into optical signals and collect them into An "infinite sophon server" is networked and distributed for management.
Now, the human virtual network is independently integrated into the Galactic Alliance's interstellar network. It has a different link method from the Internet. Through the transfer of the tunnel linker, it is then followed by the Galactic Alliance's interstellar network. The scope suddenly covers the entire galaxy, which is very powerful.
After being merged into the interstellar network, what changes will the interstellar network bring to human beings? What impact will the Galactic Alliance ultimately have on both parties by accessing the virtual network of human civilization and communicating with each other? Compared with the grasp of science and technology , Zhou Xing has no confidence in such a macro and complex issue.
"Human civilization will adapt quickly and get better and better!" Zhou Xing thought with great expectation.
Professor Lin Hai suddenly handed a pair of virtual glasses to Zhou Xing and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to connect to the StarNet together?"
"Okay!" Zhou Xing glanced at the virtual glasses and enthusiastically reached out to take them.
The next second, Zhou Xing sat on the command chair, put on the virtual glasses, closed his eyes and rested. The micro biochip hidden inside the virtual glasses began to work and resonated with Zhou Xing's brain waves.
Not long after, Zhou Xing, who had fallen into a light sleep, suddenly realized that he was in the command room of a battleship. He saw a console full of science fiction and a floor-to-ceiling viewing window the size of a movie screen. Outside the viewing window, a beautiful blue planet was nearby. Close at hand, it rotates slowly, with the vast Milky Way behind it.
The entire human civilization is almost doing the same thing. When the interstellar network is about to open, they all wear virtual helmets, virtual glasses... and other virtual network connection devices, and are ready to log in at any time.
"Hello, Commander, I am the StarNet auxiliary brain. This is the StarNet-virtual terminal: Xingyao. This is your first time logging into the StarNet. Please read the StarNet usage rules carefully."
Yang Fan suddenly woke up from the command room of a spaceship, and a familiar electronic synthesized sound immediately echoed in his ears.
"Virtual terminal? What do you mean? This is the interstellar network?" Yang Fan looked at the command room with wide eyes and asked in confusion.
Countless people around the world stared at logging into the Star Network, but what they saw before them was an empty command room. Isn't it no different from a virtual network? Yang Fan frowned, very puzzled.
"Commander, virtual terminal: it is a virtual image that induces neuron consciousness space simulation imaging to access the Star Network. It is a transfer station for accessing the Star Network. The Star Network uses the one-person-one rule. You need to complete here: real-name authentication, information confirmation , permission level... You can only enter the Star Network after learning the Star Network usage rules." The electronically synthesized voice responded.
After being explained by the auxiliary brain, Yang Fan finally understood. Virtual terminal: equivalent to a human computer. The display method is to generate a virtual spaceship: Earth. After he completes the information verification, he uses the virtual terminal to connect StarNet.
"Where can I fill in the information? Hurry up." Yang Fan's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently.
The next second, a holographic screen appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Fan, presenting a series of information to be filled in.
Yang Fan reached out and gently touched the holographic screen, brought up the virtual keyboard and tapped continuously to quickly complete the filling in and registration of relevant information.
"Identity verification completed, Mr. Yang Fan, since you do not own the starship, you need to create an exclusive virtual client." The assistant brain confirmed.
"Well, how do I create a dedicated virtual client!" Yang Fan asked puzzledly
"Using Xingyao as the basic parameter, please modify the special name of your virtual client." Assistant Intelligent Brain explained.
"Sailboat!" Yang Fan nodded in understanding and named it.
"The StarNet virtual client has been established. Commander, you have obtained the right to log in to the StarNet." Assistant Intelligent Brain confirmed.
"Hmm! Where is the Star Network? How to log in?" Yang Fan perked up and asked curiously.
"The Star Network has been linked. Please select the target you want to access. This is the Star Network guidance window." Assistant Intelligent Brain reminded.
The next second, the huge command screen displayed various spaceships, colorful planet fortresses, and various planets, large and small, all suspended at once, densely packed and countless.
If a patient with trypophobia sees this scene, he will definitely get sick. There are too many spaceships, fortresses, planets, and galaxies displayed on the virtual screen, both near and far, covering all directions.
"What are they?" Yang Fan widened his eyes and asked in confusion.
"Commander, this is the virtual guidance platform. They are virtual terminals of the star network. You can access the public data of the star network, and you can also initiate a terminal access request. After you confirm the access target, you will enter the next level target option bar." Assistant. Zhinao explained in detail.
"Uh!" Yang Fan's eyes lit up, and he easily understood the meaning of assisting the brain.
The interstellar network is very similar to the human Internet. Yang Fan suddenly discovered the rules of the interstellar network. After connecting to the interstellar network, if alien civilizations want to understand human beings, they can click on the human home planet - "Earth", and then they can generally understand their information, and then , to learn more detailed information, you can continue to the next step in the virtual terminal "Earth".
The spaceships and planets that appear on the screen are similar to the websites on the human Internet, except that the "websites" on the star network are presented in the form of virtual terminals (ships, fortresses, planets).
"Commander, if you select a virtual terminal, the content will be introduced. If you are interested, you can connect to the data to learn more!" the assistant brain reminded.
"Okay, let me give it a try!" Yang Fan nodded clearly, stretched out his hand and tapped a blue planet.
Immediately, the virtual screen changed, and all other spaceships and fortresses disappeared, and the planet pointed by Yang Fan occupied the entire screen.
The planet rotates in the middle of the screen, and pictures and text on both sides appear at once, introducing information about the planet with both pictures and text.
"Tilk Entertainment Star: Level 3 literary star, entertainment level: 5 stars, planet operator: Tierk people, main entertainment projects: competitive fighting, gambling, opera performances, entertainer auditions..."
"Tilke Entertainment Star: The entertainment holy land of intelligent biological civilization in the Noptai Galaxy, the dream destination for countless performers and entertainers... Star Network Popularity Index: seven stars, stability index: seven stars, integrity: nine Stars. (The above stars are rated by the Galaxy Alliance Network Management Bureau and updated in real time.)"
"The famous buildings of Tierke Entertainment Star: Star Dream Tower, Tier Royal Arena, Tier Somuleng, Vientiane Self-Entertainment Plaza..."
“…”
Yang Fan's eyes widened, and the information about an alien civilization came into his eyes, which shocked him all of a sudden.
Buildings with strange styles, some round like balls, some pointed like cones, some square, huge, towering into the clouds, all kinds of buildings; red-skinned, green-eyed, with big heads and bodies Thin ones, ones with horns on their heads, ones with tentacles in their mouths... aliens in various forms are clearly visible on the virtual screen.
"Aliens! So many aliens!"
Seeing so many strange scenes for the first time, Yang Fan's scalp felt numb and his hands and feet trembled.
"Commander, your body is in a negative state, do you want to suspend access to the Star Network?" The copy brain suddenly reminded.
Hearing this, Yang Fan took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly. He was now in the virtual world of the interstellar network. These aliens could not harm him at all. What's more, human civilization had joined the Galaxy Alliance and there was no need to Fear them.
With this thought, Yang Fan quickly regained his composure.
"No, I can continue the visit." Yang Fan replied firmly.
After speaking, Yang Fan lightly clicked on the next message and continued browsing the planet's public area data information.
Soon, Yang Fan was submerged in the strange world of alien civilization, its food, living customs, and entertainment methods... Yang Fan suddenly saw countless opportunities to make a fortune.
Yang Fan took a deep breath and couldn't wait to ask: "Zhi Nao, can I earn star coins through the star network?"
"Yes, the Federation has reached a currency settlement agreement with the Galaxy Alliance. The alliance currency obtained in the Star Network can be exchanged for Federation star coins. The current exchange ratio is: 1:6.7." The assistant brain replied to Yang Fan.
After a pause, the auxiliary brain then reminded Yang Fan: "The interstellar trade voyage between the Federation and the Galaxy Alliance is still in a pioneering state. There are huge delivery risks in physical transactions. It is recommended to conduct digital transactions first."
Hearing this, Yang Fan frowned, a little disappointed, his plan to make a fortune failed.
The nature of the interstellar network is similar to that of the human Internet. It only has extremely wide coverage, ultra-long-distance communication technology and virtualization technology. If he wants to trade on the interstellar network, it is like a Taobao seller. Now he can only sell virtual cards through the interstellar network. For virtual treasures such as recharge cards, if you want to sell physical goods to extraterrestrial buyers, I'm sorry that the "express company" has not yet started operations. There are no couriers to pick up the goods. You have to wait until the Human Federation opens up interstellar routes to the Galactic Alliance. Only when the waterway and "express company" are officially operational can the goods be delivered to the buyers.
"What data can be sold?" Yang Fan asked the assistant Zhi Naodao in confusion.
"Commander, due to differences in civilizations, art is the same. Human civilization can sell digital resources to alien civilizations, including: music scores, musical instrument structure diagrams, historical documents, novels, film and television works... However, you don't have any in your name. There is no copyright in any data, so there are no items for sale." Assistant Intelligent Brain replied to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan looked anxious and couldn't help but ask: "Where are those whose copyrights have expired! Can't I sell them?"
From ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, the music culture created in human history, classical, national, popular... various musical instruments around the world, elegant, niche... Human civilization has created a stimulating artistic civilization, and with the artists After their passing, these inherited arts have long lost their copyright.
"All expired and unclaimed data copyrights belong to the owners of the Human Federation. Individuals have no right to sell them. For relevant regulations, please read Article 716 of the Star Network Login Rules." The assistant brain replied.
Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. At the same time, he was very envious of the authors who owned the copyright of these data materials.
There are so many aliens in the galactic civilization, these guys are going to get rich!
