Zhang Wei pauses for a while, breaks the silence, and says, ”maybe you will wonder why I throw this topic out. In fact, with the birth of the virtual world, this problem will inevitably cause trouble to many people. Even some people feel that the real world is also the virtual world, so they feel that everything is meaningless and the day is over. So, I just want to put this topic out first. ”

”Is the real world a virtual world?”

Zhang Wei asked himself, ”from a scientific point of view, if the world is virtualized by a precision instrument, then there is a maximum operating memory limit for the high-end instrument. If two mirrors are used to compare with each other in this world, infinite mirrors will appear, just like opening countless windows on a computer, and the computer memory will run out one day, but there is a bug, The speed of light is limited. It can be understood that the instrument can always keep up with the speed of window opening. In short, no matter how we prove the reality of the world, it will be limited by the existing conditions.

Therefore, this problem can only be solved by philosophers. However, in my opinion, it's impossible to judge whether the world is real or not, but you are real. Otherwise, there won't be such a question. The so-called ”I think, so I am”. Whether you are a brain with a tube full of slime in the culture medium, or a big living person, this kind of consciousness, this kind of soul, exists.

Since you are real, then don't care whether the world is real or false, just be yourself. Live the life you want, be the person you want to be, grow up every day, and try to live a good life.

There's a poem that says that one should be happy when one is satisfied with one's life. Don't let the golden cup empty to the moon. There are two questions like ”is the world true or false”. Ordinary people don't need to pay any attention to it. They just need to enjoy life to the fullest. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei took a deep breath. ”Well, after all this nonsense, I'm sure everyone is a little impatient. Next, let's invite today's” protagonist ”to the stage.”

As soon as Zhang Wei's voice fell, a floating display platform came down from the sky and slowly flew over. On the display platform, it was the ”protagonist”: virtual helmet, and virtual nutrition cabin!

Virtual helmet is silvery white, almost the same as motorcycle helmet, with clear edges and corners, fine workmanship and a sense of science fiction.

As for the virtual nutrition cabin, it's 2 meters long and 0.7 meters wide. It's a bit like a covered bathtub, but it's exquisite in design and full of science fiction.

”What you see is today's' protagonist ', the virtual helmet, and the virtual nutrition cabin.”

”It seems very simple, but for these two products and for the virtual world project, the investment of technology companies in the future will exceed 3.2 trillion yuan!”

Zhang Wei's words aroused a cry of surprise, 3.2 trillion yuan, which is amazing. Those rich people can't help shaking their heads and laughing bitterly. In front of the future technology companies, their tens of billions of wealth, and the billions of millions of wealth of ordinary people, there is not much gap at all. They are all properly poor people.

”Maybe you will be curious, even questioning, is not it a virtual world project? How could such a big investment be needed? Where have you put it all? ”

Zhang Wei looked as like as two peas under the stage. ”We want to make a virtual world reach the 100% degree of truth, which makes people feel illusory. They think that the sky, the earth, the landscape, and the whole world are real. Every soil is exactly the same as the earth's appearance, color, touch and smell in the real world. This requires extremely terrible computing power. If it is to build a virtual world as grand as the earth, even a thousand of today's most advanced supercomputers cannot meet such needs.

Moreover, what we can experience is far more than one virtual world, but countless virtual worlds. Each world requires to achieve 100% fidelity, which means more terrible computing power needs.
