#277 - For the spiritual civilization of mankind

Tang Chao had seen the little green man who had almost died.

It must be said that the little green man's vitality is strong. He was on the verge of death, but now he is alive and kicking, without any trace of his previous near-death experience.

There are no similar experiments on Earth, so there are no similar dangers, but Earth has a wealth of artistic works that can allow humans to "preview" them.

For example, Tang Chao had watched "Sword Art Online," where nerve-gear diving was quite dangerous. With a little trickery from the creators, so many people suffered brain death.

Yet, this is also the allure of nerve-gear technology. People want exactly this!

Tang Chao could even imagine that if there were no restrictions, some people would excessively pursue that "authenticity," even at a terrible cost.

Virtual reality technology can use technical means to transform what was once only imagined or existed only in artistic activities into daily reality.

It can achieve seamless interaction between the three worlds of nature, humans, and human spiritual activities, and the isolated, self-sufficient worlds will no longer exist.

Because people are seamlessly connected to the scenes they are in, a state of selflessness is becoming the norm for the subject.

However, virtual reality technology can blur the solid reality that the subject has long relied on, and it can also trap the subject in a predicament where it is difficult to enter, think about, and express social reality.

In virtual reality technology, the real world surrounding people is virtual. This virtual reality is not a reflection or copy of the original real world.

People and things in virtual reality have their own characters, emotions, logic, and even values that are different from people and things in the real world. The former is not a dependent and subordinate other to the latter, but an independent, self-sufficient, and even superior subject.

In addition, virtual reality technology obliterates the boundaries between reality and virtuality. The reality surrounded by virtual reality can also become part of virtual reality. Illusions and reality blend together, and the difference between them is indistinguishable.

"You simply don't know what position you are in."

When people are surrounded by various simulacra, reality will also become a simulacrum.

Reality is no longer enough to arouse people's interest. People are沉迷in the illusions they create, becoming a new kind of "surreality."

When the fake becomes real, the real also becomes fake. Reality is emptied by fiction, and truth and falsehood seem to lose their legitimacy as important yardsticks of value in the age of virtual reality technology.

Virtual reality technology makes the truth and falsehood of human life overlap, the distance between truth and falsehood disappears, and profoundly changes the subject-object position in the perceptual structure relationship between the subject and external objects. "Things perceive me" replaces my possession and mastery of things.

In this case, a safety lock is quite important.

Of course, this is just a choice made when technology is insufficient. The safe dive percentage is both a safety lock and a reflection of insufficient technology, so Kanxing has not stopped its continued public relations efforts for this technology.

They have fully experienced the benefits of nerve-gear diving.

Now it's Tang Chao's turn.

It's useless to have watched so many film and television works. You have to experience it yourself.

There are two safety levels to choose from: 50% and 80%. Tang Chao of course chose 80%.

According to Werner's instructions, he put on a special dive monitoring suit, which contained various connected pipes and electronic monitoring equipment. They could accurately monitor the user's various body indicators. In the event of an accident, the dive pod would wake the user up.

The monitoring suit has a dedicated data interface on the chest. The dive pod has a data cable, and Tang Chao plugged it in.

After doing this, he lay down on the dive platform, and then the semi-covered hatch of the dive pod automatically closed.

Near the top of the dive pod, three contact plates covered down, just covering his head.

There were some cold contact points on it. The strongest sensations were on the forehead and temples, and the sensations in other places were not strong, because there was hair blocking it. If he was bald, then he should be able to feel dense cold contact points now.

This coolness was not stimulating, but instead made his mind clearer and his attention more focused.

Directly above his head was a transparent panel. This panel, like the helmet's windshield, displayed Tang Chao's detailed body data, which was provided by the dive suit.

At the same time, the "Start" icon still appeared, and the dive method was the same as the helmet.

Without Werner's help, Tang Chao directly said, "Nerve-gear dive, start!"

When he said this, he forcibly kept his eyes open, but in the blink of an eye, he closed his eyes and never opened them again. Instead, he suddenly passed through a channel of colorful streamers and arrived at a mechanical space.

He knew about the colorful space. Werner had told him that it was a transition channel to make users aware that they had entered the virtual world from the real world.

That scene was also somewhat like the loading screen of "Sword Art Online," except that it lacked items such as password input, language selection, and gender selection. It was like entering the arena directly.

However, unlike directly entering the game in "Sword Art Online," he was not playing a game. He was just testing a virtual reality device that could be used by humans, in order to more conveniently train talents in various fields and improve the construction of human spiritual civilization.

While he was observing the situation around him, Werner, wearing a large mech suit, refreshed out.

Well, he just appeared abruptly.

The two of them were not using the same type of dive equipment, and even their races were different. The reason they could meet was because the space they were in was networked.

Moreover, to be honest, the dive equipment that Tang Chao was lying on was not enough to build a complete large virtual space, let alone carry human consciousness to perform various training tasks.

Especially the portable helmet dive equipment, which was loaded with even fewer devices and had even worse computing power.

Of course, if you want to play VR games, its hardware is definitely epoch-making, but now that real virtual reality has come out, who wants to use VR?

Don't think that the movie "Ready Player One" is realistic and the special effects are powerful, making the audience think that the players have entered the virtual world. In fact, its essence is still a VR game, or it can be said to be a complete version of the VR game, but the players still have a screen in front of them, and they are not entering the virtual world.

In the final battle, the protagonist's car swayed left and right, and he also swayed left and right in the game.

The final battle was in the ice field, and numerous characters rushed over like a sea of people. In reality, they were all walking on the sidewalk, and none of them crashed into a wall or a car. Amazing!

Nerve-gear diving virtual reality and VR have fundamental differences, but they also require fundamental differences in hardware.

Kanxing's technology is not so sci-fi to the point of being outrageous, so thinking that a small helmet can cover everything is purely wishful thinking.

In order to do this project, the Kanxing Aerospace Center expanded and remodeled its existing supercomputer center, turning it into a comprehensive data service center. This way, it can withstand the needs of multiple people networking and massive calculations.

If you want to roll it out on Earth, Navigator also needs a lot of data centers. Fortunately, Navigator started doing it a long time ago, after all, they are an aerospace company and need a lot of data to calculate.

Of course, the current utilization rate is not high, because a lot of their technology was directly brought by Tang Chao.

But even their data center can only accommodate 100,000 people to use the virtual reality space online, so it needs to be expanded and added.

Building a data center is not cheap.

Fortunately, according to Navigator's current situation, it can use a lot of Kanxing technology, because with the blessing of the original "shrinking technology," the performance of equipment the same size as on Earth can be increased tenfold.

If a data center is built using Kanxing technology, the same scale can increase the number of users to one million.

Further up, we need to wait for a breakthrough in quantum computer technology.

That thing is probably more expensive.

But when Werner waved his hand with high-level authority and turned the mechanical space into a forest, especially when he smelled the scent of green grass, green trees, and red flowers, and felt the breeze blowing on his face, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of birds one after another, he felt that no matter how much it cost, it was worth it.
