Chapter 179 Mingyue~~~ Mingyue!

On the Star Network, Lin Yuan took Chu Yanyu all the way through the network, and soon, the two arrived near the server group of "Captain Ace OL".

Before reaching the entrance, you can clearly feel the abnormality of the Star Network.

The optical and telecommunications road is very busy, and the communication links are like the busiest high-speed track group in Yuegang. The massive data flowing in it is like a traffic flow.

Looking forward, one can only see a dazzling white light, and the further one goes, the brighter the white light becomes, until finally, the whole world becomes a vast expanse of whiteness, an endless sea of ​​light composed of infinite data.

Chu Yanyu was very shocked: "Oh~~ What a huge world, it consumes a lot of energy, right?"

"9000 billion kilowatt-hours a day, accounting for 15% of the total power generation of the Moon Harbor Energy Umbrella."

Strictly speaking, 9000 billion kWh refers to high-quality energy, which is dissipated into low-quality heat energy after passing through the virtual world.

But these heat energy will not be wasted, they will be taken away by the cooling system at the first time, a small part is used to maintain the city's constant temperature system, and most of the rest is used to regenerate electricity.Therefore, if you calculate the general ledger, the actual energy consumption is only about 800 billion kWh per day.

Chu Yanyu didn't know the details, she was shocked by the horrible energy consumption: "Wow~~~ What a great skill!"

A game world consumes an astronomical amount of energy. She has never heard of it, let alone seen it before.

This is several orders of magnitude stronger than the abyss server she lived in before. Compared with the two, one is a luxurious villa and the other is a slum.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and opened an entrance to the virtual world: "Inside is a new world of virtual reality, go in."

Chu Yanyu got in through the entrance.

Her information body is very large, and it took a full three minutes just to enter the virtual world.

When passing through the entrance, she smiled and asked, "I should occupy a lot of system resources, right?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Indeed, it's quite a lot. The resources you occupy alone are roughly equivalent to 1000 ordinary players."

"Is it only 1000? How many game players are there?"

"Currently the total number of online users is 2 million."

Chu Yanyu shook again: "What? You didn't lie to me, did you? Did you add a zero?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "That's 2 million. This is the result of the day and night peak shifting in major urban areas. Otherwise, at least 5% of the people in Yuegang will log in, and the number of online users will reach 80 million."

Chu Yanyu couldn't believe her ears: "Why are they so crazy? Don't these people have jobs in reality? How can they play games all day long?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "You will soon understand why."

Chu Yanyu was a little disappointed: "I thought I would become a god in this game world. Dare and affection account for less than one in 25."

At this time, Chu Yanyu entered the world, and Lin Yuan also appeared beside her.

Neither of them condensed their bodies. Looking at them from a distance, they were just two suspended light clusters.

Lin Yuan's light cluster is small and dim, and there is a line connected to the real world at the back, which is the data link for maintaining brain-computer communication.

Chu Yanyu's light group is independent, very large, very bright, and looks like the sun from a close distance.

The two floated tens of thousands of meters in the air, looking down.

The first thing to enter is the endless sea. There are three lands on the sea, one is Anshen Island, the other is the nameless island where the souls of the abyss are imprisoned, and the biggest one is the Mingyue Continent of "Ace Captain OL".

After Lin Yuan took control of Yuegang, he immediately upgraded Mingyue Continent, directly increasing the content of virtual reality technology to 100%.

This is also the root cause of the exponential increase in energy consumption and number of logins.

From a distance, the Mingyue Continent showed an inconceivable prosperity and beauty. On this island with a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers, people and cities, people and nature, and cities and nature have all reached a near-perfect harmony.

Looking at this continent, there is only one word left in my heart, and that is 'shock'.

No gorgeous words in the world can describe its magnificence and grandeur, not even heaven!
When people face her, they just keep repeating her name: 'Mingyue~~~Mingyue! '

Chu Yanyu only felt that her worldview was instantly shattered by the impact. She had heard about the reputation of Mingyue Continent long ago, but she never imagined that she was actually such a city of miracles!
After being speechless for a long time, she couldn't help but said: "It's just a game, is it really necessary to do this to this extent?"

Rolled up like this, let other game companies live?
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head: "In the past, it was indeed a game. But now, it has completely surpassed the scope of games."

"Then what is it now?"

"It is the infrastructure of Yuegang, just like the flight track, communication network, and water and electricity network, it is an indispensable existence in the life of Yuegang people."

"I don't quite understand."

Lin Yuan patiently explained: "I have expanded the virtual world to the greatest extent and made it almost seamlessly integrated with the real world. People can switch between the real world and the virtual world at any time as long as they install a brain-computer interface. Through this , Yuegang can use the least amount of resources to achieve the best living environment."

The daily power consumption of 800 billion kilowatt-hours maintains a stable virtual world that includes almost all Hong Kong residents, blurs the barriers between the real world and allows people to live and work in the virtual world.

The final result is that the residents of Yuegang enjoy a super high-quality life, the cost of managing the city for the Yuegang government has been greatly reduced, and the average energy consumption per person has been reduced by at least 90% compared to the past.

This is a lucrative deal.

Chu Yanyu looked at the people living in Mingyue Continent from a distance, and could see that people were full of smiles on their faces and their lives were wonderful.

Car racing, surfing, skiing, paragliding, football, horse racing, etc., things that were unimaginable in Yuegang before, have become the most common daily life in Mingyue Continent.

Looking at it, she murmured: "I know why I failed. You did use the world beads to the extreme. But no matter what, this is a virtual world after all, and it can never replace reality."

Reality is reality because it cannot be escaped!

Of course you can learn from an ostrich, bury your head in the sand, ignore the existence of the real world, and enjoy happiness in the virtual dream to your heart's content, but the longer you ignore it, the more violent the backlash of reality will be.

If the entire city ignores reality, then perhaps one day, warships from other cities, or even more terrifying cosmic-level disasters, will take away this city immersed in dreams.

People who escape from reality, the deeper they escape, the worse their lives become.

And the race that escapes reality doesn't deserve to live at all!

Lin Yuan nodded approvingly: "You're right, it can never replace reality, it's just an extension of reality. The laws of surface physics in this world are exactly the same as reality. People can work, play, and study in this world, but they can't eat and drink. , sleeping, and giving birth, but they all have to return to reality.”

He could tell that Chu Yanyu was very clear-headed, and the so-called rumor that the Queen of Pain was a lunatic was just a disguise for her self-protection.

Chu Yanyu thought about Lin Yuan's words carefully, and finally shook her head slowly: "The basic needs you mentioned can actually be ignored through technical means. For example, turning people into electromagnetic life, or using an immersive nutrition cabin. Maybe not now, but if we continue to develop like this, we will definitely reach this point.”

"You're right. That's why I promulgated the "Moon Continent Treaty."

"What is the content of the agreement?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "The convention stipulates that as a citizen of Yuegang, before the age of 30, the time spent in Mingyue Continent shall not exceed 4 hours a day. After the age of 30, the time per day shall not exceed 10 hours. At the same time, children born from now on You must complete 15 years of basic science education in order to obtain the qualification to land on the Mingyue Continent."

What is dangerous is not the virtual world itself, but the disconnect between reality and fantasy.

Chu Yanyu was startled: "Then there must be many people protesting?"

Such a miraculous city, even she can't resist its charm, ordinary people will definitely sink in the first time.And forcibly stripping them off will definitely cause great anger.

Lin Yuan smiled: "There were many protests, but the protests were ineffective."

"You guys want to be a dictator? This is too outrageous."

Lin Yuan laughed: "What are you thinking? Am I such a person?"

"Then why is it ineffective? Isn't it the bounden duty of a competent government to listen to the voices of the people?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You are right, but the government is not omnipotent, and technology is also limited. The carrying capacity of Mingyue Continent is already very close to the ceiling of current technology."

This is true. The appearance of the current Mingyue Continent is indeed the acme of Yuegang's technological level, and it may be able to improve, but if you have to overpay, the world will become unstable, so the gain outweighs the loss.

If he wants to improve further, even Lin Yuan has to build on the basis of the current technology and grow little by little, building blocks. The road that should be taken must be walked step by step.With Lin Yuan here, it's nothing more than walking faster and avoiding detours

Chu Yanyu immediately understood, and she smiled awkwardly: "Staying with you for a long time, always gives people the illusion that technology is omnipotent."

She asked the last question: "You are sober and can use this new technology reasonably. But in the future, there will always be stupid politicians who cater to public opinion. Can you guarantee that they will not make mistakes?"

Lin Yuan chuckled: "People of future generations will have sages of future generations to worry about. It is not easy for us mortals to grasp the present. Why do you think so much?"

Chu Yanyu thought about it carefully, and then agreed: "You are right, there is no real god in the world after all. Facing the boundless universe, we are all mortals."

After seeing such a magnificent virtual world, Chu Yanyu was more and more impressed by Lin Yuan's wisdom.

She turned her eyes to the Mingyue Continent in the distance again, and said with a smile: "I know, you definitely want me to live in Anshen Island, but I want to live in Mingyue Continent, is that okay?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes."

"Huh?" Chu Yanyu couldn't believe it: "Aren't you afraid that I will do a large-scale brainwashing in Mingyue Continent?"

Lin Yuan smiled: "It was possible before, but now it cannot be washed."

Chu Yanyu was a little crazy, because she knew that since Lin Yuan said so, she probably couldn't wash it off, but her majestic Seven Demon Gods of the Abyss couldn't wash the head of a mortal in the virtual world?

This is too shameless!

She said angrily: "I don't believe it, I just want to give it a try! By the way, I want to wreak havoc in your world! There will be a catastrophe, a volcanic tsunami or something, I'll see how you end up!"

"Just try."

"Ah~~~ Can you change the word?! I'm about to have a psychological shadow!"
