Hearing Su Mingqiang's words, Yang Yue was not surprised.

He was mentally prepared to die when he was in a car accident, and now he is not only alive, but his body does not look like he is disabled, and it will take more than three months to recuperate before he can return to normal, which is completely acceptable.

After thinking about it, he said, "The cultivation period shouldn't prevent me from ending this era, right?" ”

"Of course." Su Mingqiang smiled, "Xiao Lin, it's up to you to help Mr. Yang understand the new era."

"Okay, Professor."

Xiao Lin seemed reluctant, but she didn't refuse.

Yang Yue smiled bitterly in his heart.

I thought that he was the dream lover of hundreds of millions of women in Shenzhou back then, but I didn't expect that he would not be treated well after two hundred years.

However, thinking that he is 200 years older than Xiao Lin and belongs to the super grandfather generation, Yang Yue can understand.

Of course, it may also be because of other reasons that Xiao Lin is reluctant to contact him too much.

After Professor Su left, Xiao Lin found something that Yang Yue was still a little familiar with—a tablet.

However, compared with the tablet computer of the 21st century, the one Xiao Lin brought is not only ultra-thin and ultra-light, but also like a piece of transparent plastic glass.

After Xiao Lin helped him do the pupil verification, he said: "This is an old-fashioned tablet, you should be able to use it, if you want to know anything, you can check it on the Internet yourself, if you don't understand, you can call me to ask." ”

"Got it." Yang Yue nodded obediently.

After Xiao Lin left, Yang Yue took control of this almost full touch screen tablet.

He found that the various functions on it were super responsive.

Although it has been 200 years, judging from the names of the various software on the tablet, the text has not changed much.

However, some of the software is very new to him.

Finally, he found an information search and query software similar to Qiandu.

Then he started surfing the Internet.

More than two hours later, Yang Yue had basically understood the general context of the history of the world after he was frozen.

It boils down to three things.

First of all, in 2030, since this world is like the earth's space-time, the mysterious X-virus has appeared.

The virus is highly contagious and has a high fatality rate. Because most of the countries other than Shenzhou have neglected to control the virus after it spread, they have allowed the virus to spread on a large scale.

Virus X mutates very quickly, and various variants continue to emerge in the course of transmission, which makes people of all countries have to meet another wave of virus outbreak after carrying one wave of virus outbreak.

In the following decades, almost all countries in the world were plagued by the virus, the economy was seriously affected, and the population of each country was reduced in advance or at an accelerated rate.

In the process, Citigroup has been provoking wars around the world in order to divert domestic contradictions.

As a result, the wars and turmoil in this world have increased a lot compared to the first thirty years of 21.

This further accelerates the decline of the global population.

In this process, because China tried its best to protect its people and its economy from the impact of the virus outbreaks, it did not participate in the wars provoked by Citigroup around the world.

And because the national strength of Shenzhou is stronger in this world, Citigroup does not dare to provoke Shenzhou casually.

In this way, Shenzhou is still developing steadily in the midst of the virus.

It was not until 2088 that China took the lead in developing variants that could prevent various X viruses and agreed to sell them to other countries, that countries came out of the shadow of X viruses one after another.

By this time, however, the global population had plummeted by more than a third.

Among them, the population of China alone has dropped from nearly 1.5 billion to just over 1.2 billion.

Of course, the sharp decline in the population is not all due to the X virus, but also the awakening of human individuals, and the fact that many people are not willing to marry and have children is also an important reason.

The second thing is the development of the virtual world.

Because the X virus has forced many people to isolate at home and work from home, virtual networks have developed at a faster pace.

And the virtual machine has also been updated one after another in the past few years after Yang Yue was frozen, and the functions have become stronger and stronger, so that ordinary people can gradually use the virtual machine better, and various virtual works continue to appear until they emerge in endlessly.

In order to strengthen people's connection in the virtual world, the network giants have proposed the concept of "metaverse".

That is, to build a virtual world that seems to be a shadow of the real world, or to enable people to learn, work, and communicate in the virtual network as in the real world.

Originally, this concept was also like a joke, and it was considered a new way for various Internet companies to make money and collect wool.

In fact, that's exactly what the internet giants thought in the first place.

However, with the continuous impact of the X virus, as well as the continuous progress of network technology and the continuous invention of related hardware devices, a virtual world that can be accepted by the vast majority of people has really gradually taken shape.

By 2093, five years after the development of the universal vaccine for the X virus, a mysterious research institute in China has developed technology that can safely link human consciousness to the Internet.

It is called "Consciousness Networking Technology".

The technology only needs to give the virtual machine a shorter heart headset to allow people to experience the sensation of consciousness entering the virtual network world.

Of course, this technology is still very different from the technology of science fiction that carries out a different kind of immortality on the world of consciousness preaching network.

If I have to describe it, it is equivalent to the time when people's consciousness enters the virtual network.

However, the root of consciousness is still the human body, and it cannot exist without the human body.

That is to say, even if you are a networm, you must get off the plane to eat and sleep on time, otherwise you may die suddenly due to a long time online.

Consciousness can only listen and see in the network, and cannot produce other feelings, at most, it will make your listening and seeing "immersive".

However, it is said that the technology that allows people to have the full sense of the virtual network world has been being studied for a long time, and various immature and flawed results have appeared.

Maybe in the near future, there will really be a virtual warehouse that can make people realize that they have all the feelings in the online world.

Because the virtual machine technology and the consciousness networking technology are much more superb than the previous network technology, almost equal to the black technology at that time, in order to commemorate, people will take these two technologies as the core of a series of technological breakthroughs, as well as a series of biomedical technology breakthroughs due to the fight against the X virus, and called the fourth scientific and technological revolution.

The virtual machine and consciousness networking technology are also taken out, which is called the second information technology revolution.

As for the third event, it took place in the second half of the 22nd century.

The aerospace science and technology based on China, Citigroup, and Rakshasa have successively established industrial cities on the moon and Mars, officially opening the window of interstellar colonization for mankind!

Today, Moon City, the first industrial city established by mankind on the moon, has a history of more than 60 years.

The first industrial city established on Mars, the City of Fire, also has a history of more than 30 years.

This undoubtedly means that humanity is entering a new era!
