Chapter 326 The intersection of virtuality and reality

Yan Xia landed on the ground starport of the Mobius Ring World. After he walked out of the starport, he felt a sense of solidity again after many years.

This place looks no different from the Earth. The starship landed in a starport built in a lush forest, similar to an old-time airport. It covers an area of ​​about 27 million square kilometers, between the area of ​​North America and Africa.

The entire starport needs to be left by high-speed train, and then take a general hovercraft or near-earth shuttle after arriving outside.

After so many years, the appearance of hovercraft and near-earth shuttle has not changed much, but there are some performance improvements. Some hovercraft and near-earth shuttle can already carry out short-distance space travel. I heard that some near-earth shuttles can travel across galaxies.

Looking up, there is a natural blue sky and white clouds, but there is no sun.

The light of the stars is scattered. Ella made a sun before, but found that the effect was not good. People actually don’t have much demand for the sun. Many people even wonder, everyone knows what the Mobius Ring World is like, why make a fake sun to simulate a planet?

After that, Ella cancelled the simulated sun.

Yan Xia did not take the near-earth shuttle arranged by Ella, but chose to walk in the city.

This is the largest city in the Mobius Ring World, Luo City, which means the place of gathering. Luo City covers a total area of ​​19.8 billion square kilometers, which is nearly 40 times the total area of ​​the earth. There are almost no high-rise buildings here, all of which are single-family houses.

"There are nearly 68.7 billion single-family houses in the entire city. Most of the people living in Luo City are rich people in the Federation. The vacancy rate of houses here is below 12% all year round. Before the Mobius Ring World, we invested the best resources here, so that more than 70% of the wealth of the entire Civilization Federation was gathered here."

Ella introduced some economic issues to Yan Xia.

This is Yan Xia's blind spot. He has never asked about these before, because economic issues themselves are a headache. It is difficult for one person to solve the problems of a company. It is too difficult to manage a company with thousands of people in the Earth era. And he is facing the economic problems of hundreds of trillions of people in the Federation. Just listening to it feels like his head explodes.

So Ella only briefly introduced it here, without explaining in detail where the problem was, and asked Yan Xia for his opinion, which was a bit too difficult for Yan Xia.

Yan Xia and Ella walked in the city at the speed of ordinary people. The city was not empty. The population of the whole city was as high as 319 billion. Before the surrender of the Federation, the population here was actually even higher. At its peak, it exceeded 500 billion people.

This is a super large number.

Yan Xia felt the prosperity of the city and went to some downtown areas to feel the admiration of violence by life. Ella did not want to build this place into a utopia, so it allowed some lives to be free of emotions.

"I remember you once built a utopian star city, how is it?" Yan Xia asked.

Ella had cloned 20 billion lives in a certain star system to create a utopian world. At that time, Yan Xia wanted to know the follow-up, but because there were too many things to do, he forgot.

After retrieving the data, Ella replied: "It only lasted for 273 years. The final ending of the utopian world in the movie is facing collapse. However, because of my absolute control, the probability of the collapse of the utopian world I created is almost zero."

"The reason for the explanation is that I found it meaningless. The life that grows in a suppressed environment has no value. They have imagination, but they dare not express their imagination. It is no different from nothing."

"If even the most important creativity of life is missing, then these lives are just garbage."

Yan Xia's expression was a little subtle when he heard this, but if he put aside the premise that he was a life, what Ella said was right.

Ella stopped trying in 273, and the 20 billion lives disappeared like the star city. There was no need for life without value to survive.

At this time, a man ran towards Yan Xia in a hurry. The road was wide, but I don't know if it was because the man was too flustered that he bumped into Yan Xia.

But Yan Xia didn't feel hit at all.

"Is that... a virtual projection?"

Ella nodded, with a proud smile on her face: "Finally noticed? More than one-third of the residents here are virtual lives, and they are living their second lives."

"Generally speaking, you have to enter the virtual world to see them, but I want to know if the dead live in another way, what will the social tolerance of the Civilization Federation be like in the face of this."

"Some things will never get accurate results if you just calculate them, just like this plan. When I calculated it, I thought it would cause the social model in a small range to collapse, but in fact it didn't. These virtual lives that survived the second life were perfectly integrated into the society. The whole society didn't even have any turmoil, at most it just fermented some public opinion."

This is indeed hard to imagine, because new things often have a strong impact on old things, and the possibility of integration is very small.

Seeing Ella's proud expression, Yan Xia knew that the plan was very successful.

"But I don't seem to see any projection equipment. Have you transformed the entire city?" Yan Xia looked carefully at everyone around him, and could not find the difference between virtual life and normal life.

Ella reached out and held Yan Xia's hand, and Yan Xia felt the touch.

"What is this?"

Yan Xia was a little surprised, because it was clear that Ella followed him with a projection, and she did not leave him to change a body that was exactly the same as the projection.

Ella explained: "Remember the simulated world we used to solve the problem of Star City being controlled by Gais Rongguang again?"

"I started to develop the same technology later, and sprinkled all kinds of tiny robots throughout the city so that they could form almost anything. The entire Mobius ring world was covered with these tiny robots, and its number was as high as 2876 trillion trillion trillion. These robots can realize many functions."

"For example..." Ella snapped his fingers, and then a flame appeared in his hand.

The flame turned into a fireball and hit Yan Xia. Yan Xia felt the feeling of being hit, but did not feel the burning.

"I founded the Digital Academy in the Mobius Ring World before. Now, the entire Mobius Ring World can produce anything according to my ideas. It has become a digital world."

Ella certainly doesn't want a game world. She has great ambitions.

"Yan Xia, I think we can extend the simulated universe and let the tentacles of the simulated universe touch reality. Things that can be done in the simulated universe can be done in reality, and the digital world can quickly move things in the simulated universe to reality for debugging."

"Since we want to develop gravitational energy and choose Betelgeuse as the next capital, I think we can build the Mobius Ring World into an innovation capital, where any fantastic ideas can be completed."

"The maintenance cost of the digital world is similar to that of the simulated universe, but it can be more popular."

This is Ella's idea.

In fact, it is not very accurate, because this thing has basically realized its functions, just waiting for more people to enter the market to create.

"Wait a few more generations, and then this place will become even more exciting. Now some of the original Olive Branch Civilization lives are still alive. Even if they are dead, they have only developed to the second, third, or fourth generation. The influence of the Olive Branch Civilization has not been completely eliminated."

"Yeah!" Ella nodded, agreeing with Yan Xia's opinion.
