Late at night, Gu Shun sat alone in the office.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, many nearby construction sites are still brightly lit, and the energetic Xiacheng residents work in three shifts, day and night, just to build their homes as soon as possible.

All are passionate and hopeful for the future.

Gu Shun came back to his senses and looked at an envelope on his desk.

Unwrapping the sealed envelope, Gu Shun poured out a delicate and unique chip full of science and technology.

This is the chip that was confiscated from Shangguan Ji at the beginning.

[Realistic processing chip, which can be used for access terminals for shuttling in the virtual network world. Due to the damage of internal components, some functions of the immersive chip are seriously damaged, the quality of virtual world access is greatly reduced, and at the same time, it will cause a great burden on the nervous system, and it is identified as garbage. 】

Gu Shun's scavenger talent, which had not been used for a long time, was activated again, and the simulated chip was judged to be garbage.

Although analog chips and traditional chips have the word chip, their essence is very different.

Chips, also known as integrated circuits, are a way to miniaturize circuits, relying on countless transistors integrated on monocrystalline silicon, through the two states of on and off, to achieve countless instructions and data processing of set signals.

The production of chips can only be completed by lithography machines, and chips can be used in almost all electronic devices, so as to provide powerful computing support.

The simulation processing chip is mainly used in virtual reality equipment, and its role is augmented reality and virtual simulation, transcribing the electromagnetic signal provided by the device into a wave signal that can be directly processed by the human body. The higher the accuracy of the simulation chip, the stronger the degree of simulation of virtual reality.

In the absence of relevant simulation chips, all metaverse devices can only be called animation effects, but cannot really be called a metaverse world.

The simulation chip is more like a multi-core computer set integrated on a semiconductor carrier, through a certain matrix connection, countless nano-level computers can be processed and calculated according to their respective programs at the same time, and the computing efficiency is not in the same dimension compared with the chip.

The first analog chip appeared in Uptown more than 200 years ago, and was hailed as the culmination of the world's top science at that time.

Since the establishment of the new lower city, the simulation chips shipped from other city-states have long entered the homes of ordinary people in the lower city.

Therefore, Gu Shun is no stranger to analog chips, but unlike other city-states, this chip in Shangcheng is not a simulated chip, but a more advanced simulated chip.

Compared with the simulation chip, the realistic chip is not something that can be compared with the era in terms of workmanship or the accuracy and quantity of nano-level computers integrated on it.

Gu Shun can also faintly understand the current gap between Xiacheng and Shangcheng technology from the side.

The immersive chip only needs to be installed in the transcription card slot behind the ear, and can be directly connected to neurons, without the use of any wearable devices, and can enter the metaverse world unimpeded.

And the metaverse world of the immersive chip is not connected to the metaverse network that is currently common in the world, but is more like a local area network in its own corner.

Therefore, if Gu Shun wants to pass through ordinary simulation chips, he will not be able to enter the metaverse world of Shangcheng at all.

In addition, since the parting of ways between the upper and lower cities, the lower and upper cities have been completely cut off.

The Lower City knows very little about the development of the Upper City in the past hundred years.

And through the inquiries of the merchants who entered Shangcheng, Gu Shun did not get much valuable information.

When these merchants enter the Upper City, they are taken to a specialized market and are not allowed to move around, so their detailed information about the Upper City is limited to the cyberpunk buildings.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, it seems that you have to go to the city to break through.

Gu Shun thought of this, and was ready to put on the chip in person, go to the metaverse space in Shangcheng, and meet the Mr. Ma in the mouth of the official in a while.

However, just in case, Gu Shun first called Qiao Hongyu, Xiaopeng and other subordinates to explain the next task in Xiacheng to them.

After all the work was completed, Gu Shun told everyone about his plan to use Shangguan Ji's realistic chip to enter the Shangcheng Metaverse.

This, of course, drew opposition from everyone.

Xiaopeng volunteered: "City Lord, let me go, you are the heaven of the lower city, and the lower city cannot leave you." ”

Qiao Hongyu also said with a worried face: "It's better to let me do it for you, in case of danger, I can also deal with it." ”

Gu Shun shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind, and I just entered the world of the metaverse, if I can't even deal with this little thing, I won't be your city lord." ”

Although everyone was worried, they still decided to follow Gu Shun's advice.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Shun put the chip into the transcription card slot that Shangguan Ji had used and put it behind his ears.

With a numb cold sensation spread through the ears and all over the body.

"User login detected, user: Shangguan Ji, male, 56 years old, address: not specified, identity: not specified, please go to the mirror world service center as soon as possible to complete the personal information of citizens, otherwise it will affect your use of some functions and programs."

A very sweet AI synthesis voice appeared in Gu Shun's consciousness.

[The Sims system has detected that the virtual space you are accessing contains brainwashing hints, and has automatically blocked it for you - Detect Talent Passive]

Gu Shun was stunned for a moment, and it was a blessing in disguise to know that his talent could still be used like this.

However, he is more cautious about the metaverse world he is about to log into, and if it weren't for the talent of discovery, he might have fallen for it.

It's a good thing I didn't let my gang down, otherwise they would have capsized in the gutter before they even started.

"Welcome to the Shangcheng Spiritual World, your current coordinates are (Domain World 01 - Mirror World 233 - Spirit World 4528975), you can click on any coordinates to transmit, the Spiritual Realm Management Service Company will serve you wholeheartedly, I wish you a happy life and work."

After the sound ended, Gu Shun found himself standing in a closed room with four blank spaces, gently touching the wall with his hand, and he was able to touch a very solid touch.

It turned out to be a virtual room made of data and virtual reality.

Although it is virtual, even Gu Shun has to admire that this room is no different from the real room in terms of vision and touch.

And the most developed metaverse equipment in the world in the lower city is nothing compared to this.

The difference between the two is a bit like playing a web version of a pixel block game and suddenly logging into a local triple-A game.

Since it was a virtual reality world, the operation was not complicated, Gu Shun quickly got used to moving his hands and feet, and put on his only set of wizard costume skins, ready to go to other worlds to see.

According to Gu Shun's understanding, this adjustable world coordinate should be a tool for teleporting and changing maps in this world.

The Domain World refers to the platform, which resembles a game lobby, the Mirror World is like an integration of servers from different worlds, and the Spirit World is a private small world.

If you guess correctly, just dial any of the coordinates and the current position will be changed.

Gu Shun tried to turn the coordinates of the mirror world.

"Teleported to Recreation Area 6488."

In an instant, he descended from the empty room onto the street.

Gu Shun looked around, only to see all kinds of buildings of different styles, lined up on both sides of the street, elven tree houses, Gothic castles, floating fortresses, pavilions, pyramids......

The pedestrians on the street are more weird than the other.

There are fire-breathing flame people, emergency food flying in the air, purple potatoes that snap their fingers, knights riding spiders, and robots turned from cars......

All the weird-looking people in this place are all residents of the upper city. Compared with them, Gu Shun's image wrapped in a wizard's suit is obviously much more normal.

Right now, Gu Shun is going to collect information about this virtual world while finding his target as soon as possible, Shangguan Ji's informant in Shangcheng, Mr. Ma.
