Chapter 181 I Don't Understand, But I'm Shocked

The shape of Mingyue Continent is irregular and circular, with an average land diameter of about 1000 kilometers. There are oceans outside the continent, and virtual reality technology is also used in the 100 kilometers offshore.

Therefore, the movable area of ​​Mingyue Continent is about 120 million square kilometers, which is quite large, but there are [-] million people in Yuegang, even if only half of them can land at the same time, the density is quite large.

However, Mingyue Continent is a three-dimensional structure.

Its maximum height reaches 8 kilometers, and the average height of the buildings in Moon City reaches 3 kilometers, and the main way for people to travel is flying rail cars.

Therefore, not only is it not too crowded, but it is also quite empty.

The ecological environment of Mingyue Continent is based on the northern temperate zone of the living planet.

Therefore, there is a change of day and night, and there is a cycle of four seasons.

At this moment, the Mingyue Continent is in mid-autumn, and most of the vegetation on the continent's surface is dyed a layer of golden color. The dry and cool north wind is blowing all the way south, and the leaves are flying wherever it passes, creating a pleasant scenery.

Flying, Chu Yanyu involuntarily lowered her speed and altitude, carefully admiring the beautiful autumn scenery on the ground.

Looking at it, she suddenly found a large golden rice field. The wind blew, and the ears of rice swayed like golden waves.

She exclaimed: "Ah~~ so beautiful!"

Immediately turned the direction and controlled the egret to fall towards the open space beside the rice field. Before he could stabilize, he opened the door and jumped out of the car, ran to the edge of the rice field, and bent down to look at the heavy ears of rice.

Looking at it, she stretched out her hand to pinch a few grains, peeled off the husk, put it in her mouth and tasted it: "Mmm, it smells like rice, sweet, and it's exactly the same as real rice."

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

As far as the eye can see, there are golden rice fields, and there are more than a dozen harvesters busy harvesting rice in the field, and the residents of Yuegang are in control of those harvesters.

It can be seen that they are very busy, and they don't even have time to stop and take a good drink.

Doubts arose in Chu Yanyu's heart, and she turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Since basic necessities are inseparable from reality. So what's the point of planting rice in the virtual world?"

Lin Yuan got out of the car and stood leaning against the egret door: "Give it to the virtual body."

"Virtual body. Want to eat?"

"Otherwise, why should I create five senses for my body?"

Lin Yuan smiled and pointed to his mouth: "Feel your tongue carefully. I have spent a lot of time perfecting the taste receptors on my tongue."

Chu Yanyu moved her tongue and clearly felt the sweetness of maltose, but she was even more confused: "Eating is not just for delicious food, it is for survival."

Lin Yuan smiled: "Who told you that eating in the virtual body is not for survival? Or, why don't you try not eating or drinking water for a day?"

Naturally, Chu Yanyu didn't need to test it herself. After carefully examining the structure of her physical body, she realized that what Lin Yuan said was true, and couldn't help but said, "Since it's a virtual world, why bother?"

Lin Yuan stretched out two fingers, and explained patiently: "First, it is to connect with reality and ensure that there will be no disconnect between virtual and reality. Second, if ordinary people feel impatient, they can entrust the system to eat instead. But electromagnetic life lives on it."

The second point, Chu Yanyu didn't understand at once: "Electromagnetic life. You mean, I want to make a living from this?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Life is an energy-dissipating structure. Human beings are like this, and electromagnetic life is like this. Electromagnetic life radiates electromagnetic waves into space all the time. These are all energy. If there is no supplement, the information body will collapse soon."

Chu Yanyu understood a bit: "But wait, how did I replenish energy in the past?"

She suddenly discovered that she didn't know how to replenish her energy.In other words, she never thought about replenishing energy, as if it could exist naturally.

But when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong.

But Lin Yuan knew it clearly. He raised his finger and pointed to his head: "The soul sender was created by a sage. He left an automatic charging port in your information body. In other words, as long as you stay On the star network, you can automatically absorb electricity to survive, and once you leave this environment, you will gradually weaken and die."

"Is that so?" Chu Yanyu fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she nodded slowly: "That's right, we do rely on the star network to survive. Once we leave or lose power, we will become very weak and may collapse at any time."

Lin Yuan said: "And I modified the relevant code. Changed automatic charging to active foraging. That is to say, in the virtual world, you have to find something to eat in order to maintain the energy balance of the information body."

Chu Yanyu frowned: "It sounds like she's looking for trouble."

Eating every day is too troublesome.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "No. I did this to clarify the boundary between the information body and the environment. Only when the boundary is clear can the energy not scurry around, and the structure of the information body can maintain the greatest degree of stability. It's not a 'bang' crash."

"Is that so? It seems to make sense." Chu Yanyu fell into deep thought.

She returned to the Egret car again.

This time, instead of driving it by herself, she set the destination and the roaming mode, and let the egret take the two of them roaming in the sky more than [-] meters away.

After flying for a while, she suddenly said: "There are [-] million people in Yuegang, it must be very difficult to raise them."

"good."

"It must be hard work. With tens of thousands of people in the abyss, I have to rack my brains to find energy to ensure that the server does not go down. More importantly, among the people in Yuegang, there may be less than one hundred people who really create value. Others It's pure consumption."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is that so many people are simply a burden. They are just a bunch of rice bugs parasitic on civilization, and they have no meaning of existence."

Lin Yuan disagreed with this statement: "Many people always like to give meaning to things, but such things as meaning cannot stand the bottom line. If we really want to say, existence is meaning."

"Why can't we get to the bottom of it? You see, what is beneficial to the continuation of mankind is meaning."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Then let me ask you, what is the most obvious apparent feature of continuation?"

"Of course, the number of human beings is increasing. Uh~~~ Huh? Things seem to come back~~ My mind is messed up!"

Chu Yanyu hugged her head, feeling that her thinking had reached a dead end.

Lin Yuan laughed loudly: "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

"You said."

"You see, because of the development of science and technology, one percent of people work and can produce enough supplies for survival. And the remaining 90.00% of people are out-of-work, right?"

"Ah."

"However, human beings are restless lives. After leaving production, they will definitely try their best to kill time, right?"

"Correct."

"Without the pressure of reality, these layoffs can focus on learning knowledge and skills only by properly guiding the direction of the society. Just imagine, when most people in a society devote their brainpower to creation, what will happen? What's up?"

Chu Yanyu shook her head slightly, feeling a little unimaginable.

Lin Yuan smiled: "If you plant melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. I assert that in Mingyue Continent, the fruit of human spirit will usher in a blowout development, and a large number of new ideas, new arts, and new technologies will spring up like mushrooms And these spiritual wealth can greatly promote the development of technology in various fields in a short period of time. In the long run, it is also the best proof that human civilization has existed in the universe."

In Lin Yuan's view, if "living" is purely for the sake of living, what is the difference between "death" and "death"?

Only creation is the true meaning of life.

"Ah~~~~"

Chu Yanyu was speechless, she felt that it made sense, but she couldn't tell what the reason was, and for a moment, she felt very shocked in her heart.

At this time, Bailu issued a reminder: "There is only 5 kilometers left to Hongxi Village. Note that Hongxi Village is an eco-tourism village with the theme of returning to nature, and the vicinity of the village is a no-fly zone."

Egret landed slowly and parked in a spacious parking lot, where hundreds of railcars of different shapes and styles have already been parked, each of which is unique, and there is almost no repeated appearance.

Chu Yanyu glanced over a deep dark blue track car: "This is so beautiful, did you design it?"

Lin Yuan laughed loudly: "How can I have this time? This should be the design result of a modification studio. It can be seen that the designer is very good."

"Is this the fruit of the spirit you mentioned?"

"you can say it this way."

Chu Yanyu fell into deep thought again.

Lin Yuan patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think too much, get off the car, the scenery of Hongxi Village is very beautiful, let's go for a stroll."

While speaking, he also began to secretly search for the precise coordinates of the intruder.
