Chapter 407 Virtual Economy
Breath means growth.
"Xi Rang" refers to the soil where one grows, which is used to describe the image of the virtual world. With the increase of registered users, the virtual world is constantly getting bigger.
According to the design, the Xirang world should be divided into three layers. The first layer is semi-immersive. Users can enter with snake eyes VR devices. It is more like the "oasis" practice in "The Number One Player". The vision and hearing come from the virtual world, but other sensory signals still come from the real world.
Just take off the VR device and you can get out of the virtual world and return to reality. Switching between the two is very simple and convenient, and there will be no situation like "Sword Art Online" that you want to get out of the game but have no choice.
On this floor, most of them are commercial application scenarios, such as online supermarkets, online garment stores, online appliance stores and online conference rooms, online teaching, online private spaces, etc. Usually, people use the first layer of virtual world to interact with the real world. The two are very closely combined, and basically they can achieve both life and entertainment.
Each registered user can get a private space for free, which comes with several scene maps, such as island beaches, tropical rainforests, starry moonlit nights and desert wilderness, etc.
In these private spaces, users can freely switch scenes, and can also increase the types of scenes through paid purchases, and even add private items to the scenes, such as personal villas, personal farms, and personal waters.
The second layer of Xirang World is completely immersive. Users need to use egg cabin VR equipment to enter the game. Except for some of the smell and taste that cannot be simulated, they can basically achieve that the five senses signals come from the virtual world, completely isolating the outside world from the players.
If users want to leave the virtual world and return to reality, they need to stop the egg cabin from running before they can get out smoothly. Moreover, the egg cabin also has restrictions on the use place, and not all can be installed anywhere.
In the second level world, there are many game spaces. Currently, only the ancient Chinese immortal cultivation game built in Meow Star Group is running. Each user can play a role in the game. Free users can only play a civilian role. In addition to the few attached characters, only the character models are automatically created according to the player's personal image.
If the player is willing to pay the fee, in addition to improving the character status level, he can also modify and replace the character model. He can also customize it with enough money. However, the customized image must be in line with the character's status and game background. There must be no angels and demons in Western fantasy in the background of Eastern Immortal Cultivation.
In addition, there are equipment, weapons, martial arts, etc., which can be obtained through krypton gold. Therefore, this game is loved and hated by people, and people join in to play it.
Like the "Oasis" game, once a player dies in the game, the game character will be regarded as dead, and all equipment attributes and even money on his body will be completely cleared!
Therefore, not only can you kill monsters and explode equipment, but also PK players can do it, and the benefits are likely to be much richer than monsters. Of course, only in the wild can PK between players, and in a safe area, you can't even attack.
As the number of game companies entering the "Xirang World" increases, the number of entrances to the virtual game world will also increase. They also have to abide by the basic rules of "Xirang World". Players will definitely drop equipment and props when they die, and use the same currency system.
At present, there are only these two layers of the world in the "Xiran World", and the third layer of the virtual world has not been opened. It is estimated that it will take until the server group on the moon is built, and then quantum communication technology will be popularized before it can be officially opened.
"At that time, I'm afraid I have to connect to the brain chip to enter, and I also need to be in a deep sleep state!" Li Maoye thought to himself.
Only when a person dies can all his memory information and consciousness be fully uploaded, so as to continue to survive in the virtual world in the form of digital life, thereby achieving an alternative path to immortality.
So far, the Meow Star Group has opened up three paths in its immortality plan. Among them, the one that goes the farthest should be "mechanical immortality". The protein brain is replaced by electronic brain through Cyborgization. Although memory information and soul consciousness are converted into digital formats, they still have a body in the material sense, and it can communicate with each other with "digital life".
Therefore, in a sense, "digital eternal life" and "mechanical eternal life" are not different from each other. It is just that one is more out of reality and towards virtuality, while the other still has to rely on real matter, and its action influence is also reflected in the real universe.
In addition, it is the slow-developed "gene immortality". However, with the birth of black technology of heterogeneous parasitics, Meow Star Technology has taken a big step forward on this path. After all, many wealthy and powerful figures prefer this path, so Meow Star Laboratory has invested more in this area.
Genetic eternal life is more in line with human concepts, and it also needs to be placed on the basis of real matter. Unlike the digital life of virtual worlds and mechanical electronics, it requires that humans' own genetic matter remain unchanged and then achieve eternal life in the material sense.
“This road is the most difficult!”
Li Maoye sighed. Even though the Titans had not reached the end, their longevity serum could only last for thousands of years. If compared with the normal life span of humans, it would only increase by dozens of times.
In nature, some animals easily break through their own lifespan by chance. It can be seen that this longevity serum has not even changed its natural laws, and it is far from reaching the level of immortality.
Now Li Maoye's energy is involved in the "Xirang World", so the research on the other two types of Changsheng Technology has basically stagnated. On the one hand, he has to wait until Blue Star Technology has made a breakthrough before he can develop new technologies down-to-earth, otherwise everything will be a castle in the air and a moon in the water; on the other hand, he really has no motivation to do these research work, at least he thinks he still has a lot of time, so it's okay to take his research slowly.
However, after the birth of the "Xirang World", as a backup plan, it has indeed brought new impetus to the world economy, especially for countries without industry and resources. They originally had nothing else to do except the tourism and service industries that could do it.
It's completely different now. Just like people with wealth and ability do not like to play games, most of the rabbits in the flower farmer's country only stay on the first level of the "Xirang World" and rarely go deep into the second level to play games. After all, you usually have to be busy with more things. Entering the first level is for the needs of work and life. As for purely entertainment in the virtual world, that's very at least.
On the contrary, those who are not rich and have no ability are more likely to be addicted to the game. Of course, many of the people who are not rich are strong, but their lack of good fortune leads to poor for half of their lives. They have gained unprecedented fair opportunities in the game. Even if rich people can become stronger in krypton gold, at least they can still become as powerful by spending time.
The same is true for countries. In the "Xirang World", those countries have obtained a new development path. Their people may not have a job in the real world, but after entering the virtual world, they are likely to be an experienced player who manages game guilds of hundreds or thousands of people.
What is even more exciting is that Meow Star Group announced that the currency in the game can be directly exchanged with RMB at a ratio of 10:1. If you have a personal electronic payment account, you can even use the game currency as money, and even save the exchange procedures.
In short, playing games can make money to support your family, which is the case for most people, so more and more people enter the game, and it has exceeded one billion in just half a year!
The heavy hammer of the Meow Star Group completely ruined other VR game platforms. They were originally in absolute advantages in game performance and number of users. Now that the currency supports direct exchange, users have turned to the "Xirang World" to make money.
This practice of linking game coins with real currencies was of course endorsed by the government of the Zanghua Family, and only with official guarantees can the game coins be valuable. However, the currency in the game is not issued at will, but requires funds to be provided as a guarantee for the Miaoxing Group.
However, Meow Star Group has money, and its problem is not that it has no money, but that it has earned too much money and has no place to spend it. Now it is also considered an investment method in the virtual world.
Other countries support their own people to enter the game, on the one hand, to solve social problems. If people without jobs go in and play games, the society will naturally be stable; on the other hand, they can really make money. Once their own people make money, the country's foreign exchange will naturally increase, which is also a means of economic development in the new era and deserves great promotion and encouragement.
In short, a game has stirred up the global international economic situation, affected all countries, and solved the local regional stability problems in many countries.
