Life is different when you live in reality. But being reincarnated as a digital soul, everyone is pulled back to the same starting point in the virtual world.

Of course, this is just Chen Changsheng's opinion. This kind of life that you don't have to experience personally is naturally so refreshing. The theory of reincarnation and karma, which originated from the era of ignorance, has finally been realized in the most scientific place. The difference is that the virtual world does not pursue "good and evil will be rewarded", but talks about "996 blessings"...

When thinking about this, Chen Changsheng seems to have a sentence in his mind. "I'm not interested in money."

In the virtual world, everything is defined by data. Your memories, thoughts, and even habits will remain exactly the same, but it is undeniable that you are no longer the same person as before. It is also very simple to describe. A piece of data that has memory and can be autonomous. There is absolutely no other name in the world that is more appropriate than the digital soul.

Although uploading one's consciousness to a computer seems very scientific. Everyone also thinks that you in the virtual world are still the same you. You may even inherit the wealth and dreams you have accumulated, but in the virtual world, all your past experiences will become a thing of the past.

It turns out that you, whether you have mediocre qualifications or outstanding talents, are meaningless in the virtual world. Living in a virtual world that follows artificially set rules, the upper limit for everyone has been locked.

To be honest, this shouldn't be called immortality. Perhaps living in a virtual world is like living in other people's memories.

The foundation of the virtual world is reality, so even if you live in a virtual world, you still have to serve reality. This is why we all live in a virtual world and why we still have to eat, drink, poop and sleep. Why, do you still think that if you die, you don't have to work?

Of course people can enjoy themselves just after death. After working for a lifetime, of course they can enjoy the wonderful life after death.

In reality, not a penny of the money you earn is in vain. Even if you die, every penny will be spent on yourself.

As long as you have enough money, you can live until you don't want to live. Of course, as long as you are alive, you need to spend money every moment.

A perfect world will cause people to collapse. This has been proven as early as the Matrix world. Therefore, working hard and so on are really Chen's good intentions! Don't be dissatisfied, after all, this is really me giving you food...

Virtual currency is linked to real currency, and the power grid is also linked to real currency. Everyone can see that virtual currency can already replace the official currencies of various countries in some places. Even if Chen Changsheng wants to, virtual currency can buy any product of Umbrella Corporation.

Countries and forces in the old era deeply understood the importance of keeping "guns" and "money" in their own hands. Therefore, even though Umbrella Corporation has always shown a style of acting according to the rules, officials from various countries still tacitly chose to treat virtual currency as virtual property rather than a legal currency.

This kind of currency without official recognition naturally has no future, but virtual currency is being used directly or indirectly by everyone all over the world, and as more people use it, it has some characteristics of currency.

No one would believe that such a big company as Umbrella Corporation would be greedy for its own money. Therefore, sometimes the virtual world is more reliable than the bank. After all, artificial intelligence will not run away with the virtual currency, and then there will be 28-20 responsibilities between both parties...

Overall, the virtual world is happier than reality. But those who are still alive probably don't want to enjoy such good treatment prematurely...

Everyone wants to go to heaven after death, but who would want to go to heaven immediately if nothing happens?

One thing I have to mention is that smart people will indeed exterminate themselves...

The number of people who decide to have children after taking drugs is absolutely rare. Except for the vast majority of people who have only two years left to live and have no time to focus on reproduction; those who have the opportunity to obtain Life Essence and extend their lifespan have also consciously chosen to devote their lives to science.

This kind of fearless spirit is worth learning, but the problem is that you can't make yourself perfect!

In the official power centers of governments of various countries, there are naturally many people who take nzt-48 and inject Life Essence to maintain the existence of the country with incomparable fullness of spirit.

But now that nzt-48 is widely used, a few people have no way to maintain their rule over the majority. When Qing Dynasty is weak, no matter it is a wolf or a dog, they all want to give Qing Dynasty a bite, not to mention this era where one person is as powerful as a nuclear weapon.

Using magic to defeat magic is useful, but it is not a long-term solution. No matter who you are, as long as you fall into the vast ocean of the people, you will only end up drowning. This situation of being exhausted and not being able to control everything really makes some politicians who are used to having all their power feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, everyone has been inspired by Umbrella Corporation, and it seems that Umbrella Corporation is still in good order under the management of artificial intelligence. Therefore, using artificial intelligence to govern the country has become a new direction of research in all countries recently.

This is really sad for those who hear it, and shed tears for those who see it. The seniors in the Matrix world risked their lives to resist the rule of AI, but there are still people here who are rushing to become obedient citizens. It is true that the soil and water support the people. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. In the final analysis, it means that those who hold power cannot let go of the power in their hands.

If artificial intelligence is truly absolutely fair, it seems that it is not impossible to find an intelligent life form as the top leader. However, what these people are doing now, Chen Changsheng always feels like they are paving the way for themselves.

When it comes to artificial intelligence, there are still three people alive here...

Skynet is doing its best to maintain the operation of the virtual world, and Red Queen ensures the smoothness of the real automation industry. At this time, the only one who can be sent out, who is capable and trustworthy, seems to be Mechanical Emperor.

It seems that it is indeed time to let my little brother come out for some air. Mechanical Emperor has not been seen for a long time, and Chen Changsheng really misses him a little. Virus Will Aggregate, also has feelings... If you are alone for a long time, you will miss the past.

Although the theory of this world has made great progress with the help of nzt-48, the speed of progress in basic science and technology is limited.

Just like the wafer manufacturing industry, what is currently used is the Matrix produced by Umbrella Corporation itself, which is the highest technology in the world. It seems that the world of the Matrix was indeed locked before he arrived, so what is the future of living in a virtual world.
