Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 401 Changes Brought by the Metaverse

Chapter 401 Changes Brought by the Metaverse
8 month 20 day.

After Zhong Cheng returned to Earth, he began to stay in Kunlun City, personally supervising the construction of the Xuanwu spacecraft and the preparations for the development of Mars.

Due to the time difference between the world of Dream World and the real world, many people have moved their office work into the game world, and their office efficiency has been greatly improved, and Zhong Cheng is no exception.

12 hours a day online is equivalent to 3 days in reality, and human life is extended by 6 times by online game technology.

The reaction of the virtual world to the real world began to appear.

People's social interaction, leisure, and entertainment have been placed in the virtual space. For the first time since human beings entered the industrialized society, the overall energy consumption has declined.

The entertainment, leisure and cultural tourism industries were the first to be impacted. Large companies began to move into the virtual world as a whole, while small and medium-sized companies went bankrupt one after another.

Even the operating income of the transportation service industry led by AirAsia has begun to drop sharply. Except for alien routes, flights on the earth have been reduced by 30%.

The sales of Red Star's industrial products were also affected, and the market sales volume was declining every month. Zhong Cheng had to start reducing the production capacity of various branches.

This is the first time in Zhong Cheng's impression that Red Star has been continuously expanding its production capacity for the past 30 to [-] years.

Fortunately, the monthly net profit of Dream World has reached more than 5 trillion yuan. Shanhai Fund holds 75% of the shares of Yunwang Company on behalf of Red Star Company, and nearly [-] trillion yuan is recorded in the account every month.

This huge sum of money was transferred to Red Star Company through Shanhai Fund, so that Red Star Company would not fall into operational difficulties.

Lei Yongzhong and his company team accounted for 20% of the shares of Yunwang, and Wang Anlin privately held 5%.

This also allowed Lei Yongzhong and Wang Anlin's net worth to rise in a straight line, becoming the top richest people in the world.

Due to the sharp shrinkage of consumption in human society, even with the large-scale development of the moon, asteroid belt, and Jupiter, the global real economy will inevitably fall into recession, and the unemployed population will skyrocket again.

The capital of the world gathers to the Asian Federation, to be precise, to the Dream World, and the population living on the Dream World grows exponentially.

Such changes have aroused the close attention of scholars and experts around the world, but there are mixed opinions, constant debates, and no conclusions.

Because most human beings turn to leisure and entertainment consumption in the virtual world, it has also brought about a significant improvement in the earth's ecological environment and a substantial increase in people's happiness index.

In recent years, the anger towards social injustice that has been raging in human society has gradually subsided, because the Dream World has provided human beings with a relatively fair world.

In this virtual world, everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams.

Regarding the impact of Dream World on human society, Zhong Cheng organized a team to conduct countless deduction in advance, but the result still exceeded expectations.

The impact of Dream World on human society came too fast and too violently. In just 5 months, it has already affected every aspect of human society.

Just as he disintegrates Phobos and impacts Mars, changing Mars as quickly.

Within a year of 2036, he did two major events that could affect the history of human development.

Transforming Mars is undoubtedly a good thing, but if he leads all mankind to the virtual world of the Metaverse, will he become a sinner for mankind?
But Zhong Cheng immediately felt relieved, if he didn't do this, someone else would do it, he just speeded up the process.

Moreover, extending the average life expectancy of human beings by several decades through Dream World is also a good thing that will last for thousands of years.

Use the virtual world to resolve disputes in human society, even avoid real wars, end the competition between Eastern and Western civilizations for thousands of years, and achieve the goal of peacefully unifying the human world.

This is the most important reason why Zhong Cheng valued the great dream world and kept fueling it.

If human society wants to move towards the cosmic starry sky, it must first end internal disputes, unite and integrate all forces to deal with unknown dangers in the starry sea.

If there is a war with alien civilizations, and human beings are still tearing each other down, then human beings are really doomed.

This is actually the consensus of all people of insight among human beings since the great development of the solar system.

It's just whether orientals or westerners will lead mankind. In other words, in the future human federation, there is great controversy about whether oriental culture or western culture will be the mainstay.

As for the idea of ​​the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, even the most optimistic experts and scholars have no hope. Just a language issue can cause politicians to quarrel for several years or more.

There are more customs, culture, inheritance, ideology and other issues, and no one is willing to voluntarily give up their dominant position.

The United States 50 years ago and China more than ten years ago were all ahead of other countries in the world in terms of economy, technology and military, but neither of them achieved the unity of mankind.

Because no one can afford the consequences of an all-out war!
At that time, Huaxia contributed to the establishment of the three major federations with great sacrifices, ended the chaos in the human world, and paved the way for the unification of mankind.

However, there is still a huge gap from the three major federations to the human federation. Countless people around the world are working hard for it, but it is still far away.

If we talk about the unity of mankind, that is, the contest between Eastern and Western cultures, the outcome must be decided through war.

Then Dream World provides such a platform without gunpowder!
This is a brand-new topic that has been circulating in human society recently, and it has attracted everyone's attention.

Zhong Cheng looked at a voting post on the official forum of Dream World, which suggested that if any force can conquer Dream World, then the civilization represented by this force will become the mainstream civilization of mankind, and this civilization will be used to form Human Federation.

At present, this post has become the most popular post in the world, and it has received hundreds of millions of replies in just seven days, with some agreeing and some opposing.

But this seemingly ridiculous vote was supported by 3 million people and only 1 million people opposed it.

This voting post caught Zhong Cheng's attention on the first day it was posted.

After Shi Hanxing and Xu Jiuwen's investigation, it can be basically confirmed that it is a letter of challenge launched by the Mutual Aid Society on behalf of Western civilization to other civilizations in the world, of course the main target is the Chinese civilization.

He did not delete this post. After communicating with the high-level federal officials, the conclusion was to wait and see what happened.

None of the three major federations responded. Instead, the world's mainstream media began to fuel the flames, constantly hyping up this topic, so that it became more and more violent.

As of the end of September, in less than two months, 9 billion people have voted, with about 50 billion in favor and 42 million against.

If minors under the age of 16 and those who cannot enter the Dream World due to various reasons are excluded, then this voting result already represents the attitude of human society.

The vast majority of human beings support the unification of human society through games!

And just on October 10th, the European and American Federations successively issued announcements, officially agreeing to the wishes of all human beings.

This immediately detonated public opinion and pushed the Asian Federation to the forefront!

Zhong Cheng felt that things were out of his control. He should have initiated the challenge on his own initiative, but the Mutual Aid Society took the lead.

Where does the Mutual Aid Society have the confidence to compete with him for control in the Dream World?
Did he dig a hole and bury himself this time?
