"Why is the age of virtual reality the final age?"

Little X wondered, "Is this any different from the VR era in Ready Player One?" ”

"There's a big difference, it's 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 real virtual reality world, which will become the legal second world of human beings, and at the same time, there will be supporting dormancy chambers being developed, and even have a time flow rate of more than 1:10, and can even contain the consciousness of the dead, so that they can live forever in the virtual reality world." ”

"In the virtual world, everyone will have a perfect appearance, a 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 that she has no real body, she has all the human ...... of real human beings"

Chen Chen depicted the world as he walked, "If he doesn't want to communicate with people, he can soar alone in the multiverse of the virtual world, the multiverse is endless, completely randomly generated by supercomputers, and the materials contained in it may be exchanged for a valuable fortune, or it may be a piece of nothingness." ”

"If you like to socialize, in the virtual world, you can meet countless like-minded friends, you only need to send an invitation every day, as long as the other party agrees, you can generate a space-time door, so that you can invite dozens of friends to the dinner party you designed, carnival and discuss together."

"At the same time, the virtual world and real money are fully circulated, and people who are depressed in reality can go on their own voyages to the virtual universe, where countless resources are available, and there is the possibility of getting rich overnight, although the probability 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 a billionaire in front of you, you can talk eloquently, there is no discrimination, no pain, no hunger and death in it, you can become what you can never be in reality, although in reality you are poor, and you can only live on subsistence allowance." ”

"Understood, this is a good way to divert the contradictions of reality."

Hearing this, Xiao X immediately smiled evilly, "If this kind of virtual reality is really born, the class contradiction can be greatly alleviated, and when the cost in the virtual reality world becomes very cheap, although the gap between the rich and the poor is still there, it loses 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 at your disposal, some people want to enjoy in the virtual world, and some people are willing to struggle in reality, these are all voluntary, of course, more ordinary people will definitely develop in two lines, working during the day, lying in the dormant warehouse at night, and swimming in the virtual world at a tenfold ratio." ”

"But...... If the virtual world is so beautiful, the capitalists are likely to raise the bar, and then entering the virtual world itself will become a luxury, which is not good. ”

"Is it possible? I won't allow it. ”

Chen Chen sneered, "I know that it is difficult to achieve all this in my mouth, after all, as long as there are still people in charge, it is difficult to achieve true equality, which stems from our innate distrust of others, in this case, I want to let the virtual world in my hands, because only I can trust myself." ”

“……”

Xiao X couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is simply bandit logic, it's right for you to trust yourself, but others won't trust you......

"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 is at a certain level, we can make the virtual world extremely cheap, for example, a luxury dormancy warehouse only needs the price of a notebook, and the developed nutrient solution only costs a few cents, but a tube can maintain a person's energy supply for a day, so that a person's annual expenses can even be as low as a few hundred yuan, while they can enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the virtual world without leaving home." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Of course, when all this can be realized, there are basically only four types of occupations in the world - scientific research, artistic creation, and businessmen, and the last category is the political system that has been streamlined to the extreme, and other occupations that require labor have been taken over by intelligent robots." ”

"Therefore, the premise of the virtual reality era is the achievement of the first three sub-eras, all of which are indispensable, and the social supply and demand relationship can withstand the impact of the virtual reality world at that time, otherwise once the order is reversed, not only can it not promote the society, but it will trigger a violent rebound, and even lead to the collapse of the social structure!"

Speaking of which, Chen Chen had already walked out of the factory, and outside the gate of the factory, Cheng Chao had been waiting for a long time in advance.

"Boss!"

Seeing Chen Chen come out, Cheng Chao hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.

Chen Chen nodded and got into the car with Xiao X.

Cheng Chao glanced at the little girl in front of him strangely, but he didn't say anything, he got into the car without saying a word and drove in the direction of Life Science City.

"Let's go straight back to the Spire Experimental Base."

Chen Chen admonished, and then closed his eyes in the back seat to recuperate.

An hour later, Chen Chen arrived at one of the electronic laboratories in the Spire Experimental Base.

After arriving here, Chen Chen directly plugged in the USB flash drive and downloaded the movie "Ready Player One" again.

Looking at this movie, Chen Chen couldn't help but show emotion.

"Back then, I was the one who was extracted from this movie."

Chen Chen said to Xiao X, "At that time, you were just an intelligent program, but no one expected that in just a few years, you have not only upgraded from a weak artificial intelligence to a strong artificial intelligence, but also become a real intelligent life." ”

"Mine is a world away from when I was born!"

Little X nodded solemnly, looking like a little adult.

"At the beginning, I just relied on a piece of code in it to make my fortune, and now, I have to say that the reality is sometimes so wonderful......"

Chen Chen sighed, then opened the movie, and directly advanced the progress bar to the middle part, and suddenly, a huge device like a hemispherical throne directly appeared on the screen.

OAR9400 visual impact chair!

Unlike the VR eyes used by the poor ghost protagonist in the movie, this is the real luxury equipment, and in reality, only a person needs to sit on this visual impact chair to control every move of the characters in the game with brain waves.

Not only that,There is also a mature holographic projection technology on the visual impact chair,Once turned on,A curved virtual screen will automatically form in front of you,Almost the same as reality,Completely abandon the 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 really feel every touch of the virtual character in the game, and you will be immersed in the scene.

Seeing this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated, he directly reached out, probed his entire arm into it, and then pulled it hard.

Bang!

Suddenly, a whole huge OAR9400 visual impact chair was brought to reality by Chen Chen.

The height of this visual impact chair is about two meters, and the overall shape is egg-shaped, but it is missing a piece of the general, and the gap is where people sit.

However, just like the VR glasses of the past, the Vision Impact Chair is just a more technologically advanced computer that can play Super AAA games, and this machine is actually only responsible for the operation of the terminal, while the main code of the game "Oasis" is in the server.

However, Chen Chen is not in order to obtain the code of "Oasis", he wants to design a VR game, which can be easily done with today's Xiao X, he only needs to hire a group of artists and plan to design the general framework of the game, and the rest can use Xiao X's computing power to produce billions of codes in one night.

You know, even the Window system has only 50 million pieces of code.

What Chen Chen needs is to extract these devices, so as to borrow (copy) and learn (attack), and finally design equipment that is ready for the market.

In reality, VR equipment has come out to the Nth generation, but even so, it still can't escape the combination of lens + screen, and the all-round picture is projected onto the user's retina through the projection principle, forming a comprehensive visual effect, so that the user's feeling is infinitely close to reality.

Of course, most of these devices are not good for the eyes, and they are easy to get dizzy if they have too much, and there is still no mature technology to appear.

However, if it is replaced by a visual impact chair, it will be very different, this OAR9400 visual impact chair can directly form a holographic projection 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 projecting the three-dimensional scene into the air, which does not have the trouble of bothering the eyes and being easily dizzy.

And what Chen Chen values more is the brainwave control technology, as long as he sits on the OAR9400 visual impact chair, this chair can capture the player's brainwave activity, so as to directly control the activities of the characters in the game.

The only drawback is that this brainwave manipulation lacks a feedback experience.

As a result, the characters in the movie had to wear a piece of gear called the X1 Tactile Suit if they wanted to have a higher-quality gaming experience.

This equipment is like a tights that can be worn tightly against the player's body, and all the tactile sensations in the game can be fed back to the player through a weak electrical stimulus, so that the game is more immersive.

So far, among the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, the game has satisfied three senses, only taste and smell.

However, in Chen Chen's view, although the game "Oasis" is extremely immersive, it is still far from real virtual reality.

If you give a score to the five senses, the visual fidelity created by the impact chair is about 50 percent, the auditory fidelity is only 70 percent, the sense of touch is even rougher, and the touch generated by electric shock is only 10 to 20 percent realistic, which is not as delicate as the touch of the real human body itself, and the sense of taste and smell is not even there.

However, if Chen Chen releases the first batch of VR equipment, this kind of visual impact chair is too advanced.

After all, this kind of impact chair has a complete commercial brainwave control technology, and in reality, the closest to brainwave control is only Neuralink's Link project, that is, the lace electrode project.

On August 29, 2020, Neuralink released the V0.9 version of the lace electrode press conference, in which he used a piglet implanted with electrodes to show his company's achievements during this time.

Because there is nothing new or unexpected in his technology, especially in the decoding of neural signals that everyone is most concerned about, there is no progress, but a simple demonstration of the relationship between the movement of pigs' limbs and nerve firing in the brain, and there is still a long way to go before mature human-computer interaction.

In the next few years, this technology has not been greatly improved, until this year, Chen Chen carried forward this technology by combining lace electrode technology with God chips, and created the Xingtian project.

"At the beginning, the brain control technology of Xingtian's bionic prosthetic limb shocked the world, and it can be regarded as a warm-up, in this case, it is not abrupt to release the brain control technology through this VR product."

Chen Chen said to Xiao X, "However, you still have to cut a few knives, you can't come up with too mature technology for the first time, but holographic projection technology has developed a lot in recent years, although I came up with this mature holographic projection technology is shocking, but it is not unacceptable." ”

"So, how do you cut it?"

Little X wondered.

"Let this brain-controlled technology only control the computer, such as moving the cursor, typing with a virtual keyboard, playing triple-A games, and so on."

Chen Chen said, "However, it can't be used to play a game with a high degree of complexity like Oasis, which is weakened." ”

"That's ...... so"

Little X suddenly came to his senses. "That being said, if it is actually released, it will definitely cause an earthquake."

"Now that North America has its eye on me, they're going to do it sooner or later, so we don't need to keep a low profile."

Chen Chen nodded, directly deleted the damaged movie file, and then copied a movie on the computer and pasted it into the USB flash drive, opened it again, and dragged it to the screen where the X1 haptic suit appeared.

"As for this tactile suit, under the cover of brain control technology and holographic projection technology, it is not so amazing."

As he spoke, as soon as Chen Chen stretched out his hand, he extracted this set of 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 going to release next...... This time, I want Blacklight Technology to be a blockbuster! ”
