"Why is the virtual reality era the final era?"
Little X wondered, "Is there any difference between this and the VR era in "Ready Player One"?"
"The difference is huge, like the difference between a bicycle and a spaceship."
Chen Chen smiled and explained, "The so-called virtual reality era refers to the creation of a true virtual reality world. That world will become the legal second world of mankind. At the same time, supporting dormant warehouses will be developed, and even With a time flow rate of more than 1:10, it can even contain the consciousness of the deceased and allow them to live forever in the virtual reality world."
“In the virtual world, everyone will have perfect appearance, luxurious life, extremely low prices, and if you want, you can also have your own virtual family, such as a perfect wife—and she has her own will. Except for not having a real body, she has all the humanity of real humans... "
Chen Chen described that world while walking, "If he doesn't want to communicate with others, he can soar alone in the multiverse of the virtual world. The multiverse is endless and completely randomly generated by supercomputers. The matter present in it is likely to be able to In exchange for a valuable fortune, it may be nothing.”
"If you like to socialize, you can meet countless like-minded friends in the virtual world. You only need to send one invitation every day. As long as the other party agrees, a time and space door can be generated, thereby inviting hundreds of friends to a dinner party of your own design. Celebrate and discuss together.”
"At the same time, the virtual world and real currency are fully circulated. People who are frustrated in reality can go on a big voyage in the virtual universe. There are countless resources available there, and there is the possibility of getting rich overnight, although this chance is infinitely close to zero. .”
"The most important thing is..."
Chen Chen thought for a while, "The virtual world will be completely objective and equal. Even if you are in front of a billionaire, you can still talk. There will be no discrimination, no pain, no hunger and death. In it, you can become It will never be like that in reality, even though in reality you are impoverished and can only live on subsistence allowances."
"I understand, this is a good way to divert real contradictions."
Hearing this, Little Although it is still there, it has lost its meaning.”
"Yes."
Chen Chen nodded, "And in virtual reality, everyone can get free learning qualifications, basic education and even higher education. All knowledge is free to pick up. Some people want to enjoy it in the virtual world, and some people are willing to enjoy it in the real world." Struggle is all voluntary. Of course, more ordinary people will definitely develop on two fronts, going to work during the day and lying in a dormant warehouse at night, traveling in the virtual world at a tenfold rate."
"But... if the virtual world is so beautiful, capitalists are likely to raise the threshold. By then, entering the virtual world itself will become a luxury, which will be bad."
"Is it possible? I won't allow it."
Chen Chen sneered and said, "I know it's difficult to achieve what I'm talking about. After all, as long as there are still people managing it, it will be difficult to achieve true equality. This stems from our natural distrust of others. In this case, I would rather Let the virtual world be in my hands, because only I can trust myself.”
“…”
Little
"So, there will only be one virtual world in the world, and that is the virtual world created by Blacklight Technology!"
Chen Chen continued, "As long as the technology reaches a certain level, we can make the virtual world extremely cheap. For example, a luxury hibernation chamber only costs the price of a laptop, and the developed nutrient solution only costs a few cents, but One tube can sustain a person’s energy supply for a day, so a person’s annual expenses can even be as low as a few hundred yuan, but they can enjoy all the delicacies in the virtual world without leaving home.”
Having said this, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Of course, when all this can be achieved, there are basically only four types of professions in the world - scientific research, artistic creation, and businessmen. The last category is streamlined to the extreme. political system, while other occupations that require labor have been taken over by intelligent robots.”
"So, the premise of the virtual reality era is the achievement of the first three sub-eras, each of which is indispensable. At that time, the social supply and demand relationship can withstand the impact of the virtual reality world. Otherwise, once the order is reversed, not only will it be impossible to promote society, but it will trigger a violent crisis. The rebound may even cause the social structure to collapse!”
At this point, Chen Chen had already walked out of the factory. Outside the factory gate, Cheng Chao had been waiting for a long time.
"boss!"
Seeing Chen Chen coming out, Cheng Chao quickly got out of the car to greet him.
Chen Chen nodded and got into the car with Xiao X.
Cheng Chao then gave the little girl in front of him a strange look, but said nothing, got into the car without saying a word, and drove towards the Life Sciences City.
"Go directly back to the Spire Experimental Base."
Chen Chen warned, then closed his eyes and rested in the back seat.
An hour later, Chen Chen arrived at one of the electronic laboratories at the Minaret Experimental Base.
After arriving here, Chen Chen directly inserted the USB flash drive and downloaded the movie "Ready Player One" again.
Watching this movie, Chen Chen couldn't help but express emotion.
"Back then, I extracted you from this movie."
Chen Chen said to Little .”
"Mine is completely different now than when I was just born!"
Little X nodded seriously, looking like a little adult.
"At the beginning, I relied on a piece of code to make my fortune, and now, I have come back to the starting point in a roundabout way. I have to say that reality is sometimes so wonderful..."
Chen Chen sighed, then opened the movie and pushed the progress bar directly to the middle. Suddenly, a huge device like a hemispherical throne appeared directly on the screen.
OAR9400 visually impactful chair!
Different from the VR eyes used by the poor protagonist in the movie, this is the real luxury equipment. In reality, people only need to sit on this visual impact chair to control every move of the characters in the game with their brain waves.
Not only that, the visual impact chair also has mature holographic projection technology. Once it is turned on, a curved virtual screen will automatically form in front of you, which is almost the same as reality, completely abandoning low-end equipment such as VR glasses.
As long as you sit on the impact chair and put on an X1 touch suit, you can truly feel every touch of the virtual characters in the game and be immersed in the scene.
Seeing this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated. He stretched out his hand directly, inserted his entire arm into it, and then pulled hard.
Boom!
Immediately, a huge OAR9400 visual impact chair was brought into reality by Chen Chen.
This visually striking chair is about two meters tall. The overall shape is egg-shaped, but there is a piece missing, and the gap is where people sit.
However, just like the previous VR glasses, the visual impact chair is just a computer with more advanced technology that can play super AAA games. This machine is actually only responsible for the operation of the terminal, and the main function of the game "Oasis" The code is in the server.
However, Chen Chen did not want to get the code of "Oasis". He wanted to design a VR game. With today's Xiao Xiao X’s computing power can generate billions of codes in one night.
You know, even the Windows system only has 50 million codes.
What Chen Chen needs is to extract these devices, learn from them, and finally design equipment ready for the market.
In reality, VR equipment has reached the Nth generation, but even so, it still cannot escape the combination of lens + screen, which projects a full range of images onto the user's retina through the projection principle, forming an all-round visual effect that makes The user's experience is infinitely close to reality.
Of course, most of these devices are not good for the eyes, and they can easily cause dizziness if worn too much. There is still no mature technology available.
However, it will be completely different if you switch to a visual impact chair. This OAR9400 visual impact chair can form a holographic projection directly in front of the player's eyes, just like the silver Rubik's Cube that Chen Chen obtained from the alien plane, directly changing the optics of the surrounding space and transforming the three-dimensional space into a three-dimensional one. The scene is projected into the air, which eliminates the trouble of eyesight and dizziness.
What Chen Chen values even more is brainwave control technology. As long as you sit on the OAR9400 visual impact chair, this chair can capture the player's brainwave activity, thereby directly controlling the character's activities in the game.
The only shortcoming is that this kind of brain wave manipulation lacks feedback experience.
Therefore, if the characters in the movie want to obtain a higher-quality gaming experience, they must wear a piece of equipment called the X1 Touch Suit.
This kind of equipment is like a set of tights that sticks tightly to the player's body after being put on. All the tactile sensations in the game can be fed back to the player through weak current stimulation. In this way, the immersion level of the game will be even greater. Taller.
At this point, the game has satisfied three of the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, leaving only taste and smell.
However, in Chen Chen's view, although the game "Oasis" is extremely immersive, it is still far from true virtual reality.
If you rate the five senses, the visual fidelity created by the impact chair is about 50%, the auditory fidelity is only 70%, the touch is even rougher, and the touch generated by electric shock is only 100%. The degree of realism of ten to twenty is not as delicate as the touch of the real human body itself, and the sense of taste and smell are even non-existent.
However, if Chen Chen releases the first batch of VR equipment, this kind of visually impactful chair will be too advanced.
After all, this kind of impact chair has complete commercialized brain wave control technology. In reality, the closest thing to brain wave control is Neuralink's Link project, which is the lace electrode project.
On August 29, 2020, Neuralink released the V0.9 version of the lace electrode. At the press conference, he used a piglet implanted with electrodes to demonstrate the results of his company during this period. See It seems to be very powerful, but after peeling away the bells and whistles, the actual results make people in the technology industry full of disappointment.
Because there is nothing new or unexpected in his technology. In particular, there is no progress in the decoding of neural signals that everyone is most concerned about. He just simply demonstrated the relationship between the movement of the pig's limbs and the nerve discharge in the brain. It is far from mature people. Computer interaction still has a long way to go.
In the following years, this technology has not improved much. It was not until this year that Chen Chen developed the technology by combining lace electrode technology with the God chip and created the Xingtian project.
"The brain control technology of Xingtian's bionic prosthetics shocked the whole world at the beginning, and it was considered a warm-up. In this case, releasing the brain control technology with this VR product does not count. It’s out of the blue.”
Chen Chen said to Little Mature holographic projection technology is shocking, but not unacceptable.”
"So, how to cut it?"
Little X wondered.
"Let this kind of brain control technology only control the computer, such as moving the cursor, typing with a virtual keyboard, playing AAA games, etc."
Chen Chen said, "However, it cannot be used to play extremely complex games such as "Oasis". This is weakened."
"So that's it..."
Little X suddenly woke up. "Having said that, once it is released, it will definitely cause an earthquake."
"Now that North America has set its sights on me, they will take action sooner or later, so we don't need to keep a low profile."
Chen Chen nodded, directly deleted the damaged movie file, then copied a copy of the movie on the computer and pasted it into the USB flash drive, opened it again, and dragged it to the screen where the X1 Touch Suit appeared.
"As for this kind of tactile suit, it's not that amazing under the cover of brain control technology and holographic projection technology."
With that said, Chen Chen reached out and took out the silver tights, "Very good, holographic projection technology, weakened version of brain control technology, and electrical stimulation touch technology. This is the VR technology we are planning to release next. This time, I want Blacklight Technology to stop making noise and become a blockbuster!"
