Chapter 697 Welcome to the second world!

Facing the universe-like world in front of him, Lin En regained his composure after being surprised for a tenth of a second.

"Welcome to the Second World!"

A majestic voice resounded in the void of the universe, and then, a figure turned from virtual to real and appeared next to Lin En.

"Long time no see, Professor Coleman!" Linn greeted with a calm expression. He naturally recognized the person in front of him, Dr. Coleman, the most famous scientist in the Federation in his previous life.

Lin En, who graduated from the School of Engineering, had the opportunity to attend the other party's courses, and the two sides had only met each other a few times.

Dr. Coleman obviously no longer remembers this former student, but judging from the fact that he viewed the space monument after entering the earth and was able to accurately tell all the information about the recorder of No. 097841, his previous words are still somewhat credible. .

"Is this the so-called second world?" Lin En looked around. He saw through the universe the moment he entered.

"Not bad!" Coleman nodded, with an indescribable emotion in his words. "Now all humans have entered the second world, where everyone can have everything he wants!"

As the words fell, scenes appeared in front of Lin En.

There are ancient battlefields where battles were fought, there was a luxurious life of feasting and feasting, and there was a bizarre fantasy world in which countless people were immersed and unable to extricate themselves.

Of course, these are not the real world. Linn has long recognized that the place they are in is a virtual space between reality and illusion.

It's like the virtual universe he used to fool Harrov and others. However, due to the huge computing power brought by the base stations throughout the galaxy, it can imitate the laws of the universe at the quantum level. For the creatures inside, It may not be any different from living in reality.

"Can you tell me what happened to the Federation in the past 1000 years?" Lin En asked in confusion.

He didn't understand how the Federation, which was already a third-level galaxy civilization at that time and could barely achieve interstellar voyages, had fallen to this point.

Coleman sighed before speaking. "Part of it is because of the internal war, and the other part may be my fault..."

"The internal war? Is it related to the useless ones?" Lin En realized this very keenly.

"Not bad!" Coleman nodded. Lynn could say the word "useless", indicating that the other party was indeed recorder No. 097841.

The so-called useless is a self-deprecating term for the common people at the bottom of the Federation. Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, which involves all aspects, it has replaced almost [-]% of jobs, and has also caused the most terrifying unemployment rate in human history!
The federal response is to add a large number of meaningless jobs so that people have something to do, and to issue a thousand credits to all people every month, which is just enough for one person's daily food, clothing and some low-level entertainment. .

With the productivity of a level three civilization, it is still possible to meet the basic needs of tens of billions of people.

However, this only temporarily postpones the conflict. After all, the terrible social class gap still exists.

And there is a second huge problem, that is lifespan!Due to the maturity of genetic technology, human lifespan has been greatly increased, so that high positions are always occupied by a small group of people.

A 20.00% concentration genetic modification agent requires 100 million federal credits to purchase. An ordinary federal citizen has to find a job and work hard for 30 years to barely save enough!
As for more advanced genetic modification drugs, they are almost not available to civilians.

This also makes the change of power and wealth extremely slow.

This situation has caused the people at the bottom of the federation to be divided into three factions. Some people are completely ruined and have completely given up their jobs. They rely on the monthly subsidy of [-] credit points given by the federation to live a peaceful life.

Some people work hard to make progress and climb up at all costs, hoping that one day they can become a big shot at the top and enjoy all the good things.

Others are constantly wandering between the two, unwilling to accept the status quo, and want to change but are powerless. After all, no matter how hard they try, only a few can stand out.

Lin En in his previous life belonged to the third type of person, but his situation was slightly better. With his exceptionally good results, he successfully found a seemingly important but meaningless job - recorder!

On the day he joined the company, Lin En knew that there was a high probability that he would stay in this position for the rest of his life...

However, the recorder's work also gave Linn a deeper understanding of the federation's predicament, which was more terrifying than he had previously expected. It can be said that there is only one torch away from change!
And the torch was quickly lit.

Just 47 years after his death, the war officially started and lasted only nine years before being put down.

Lin En is not surprised by this. The federal upper echelons who have control over artificial intelligence are difficult to defeat. This is why they dare to hold on to their rights and not let go.

Of course, these resistances are not meaningless and have caused huge turmoil to the entire federation. The most important thing is that the contradictions have not been eliminated but show signs of further expansion.

However, the warp engine technology, which was regarded as a life-saving straw by the federal leaders, has not yet been able to achieve a breakthrough. The federal leaders, who cannot rely on interstellar immigration to absorb tens of billions of unemployed people, have to find new ways.

"The new method they found is the second world?" Lin En raised his eyebrows slightly.

Relying on the Internet and virtual games to stabilize the situation and resolve conflicts was a policy that the Federation had been implementing before he traveled through time, and it was very effective.

Because it only requires a small amount of resources to be consumed, it can give people a great sense of pleasure. It is the most important part of the [Civilian Entertainment Plan]!
Coleman nodded and agreed with Lynn's guess. In the third year after the war, with the improvement of consciousness linking technology, the Federation began to vigorously promote the Second World as a way to ease social conflicts and avoid A weapon for the next civil war.

Especially after the successful development of emotion simulation devices, for humans who have connected their consciousness to their brains and are in the virtual space, there is almost no difference between the second world and the real world!

But the difference is that the resources inside are almost unlimited!

Here, anyone can experience the life they want and achieve things that cannot be done in reality, whether it is becoming an ancient general on the battlefield, a dragon-slaying warrior in a fantasy world, or leading an interstellar war, All can be done easily.

The boundaries between reality and virtuality are blurred to the extreme!
