Osborne Megacorp

"The Oasis world cannot be so unrestrained. It will become a haven for many people to escape reality." Harry said bluntly.

The virtual world is a beautiful place, which is also Halliday’s original intention in developing Oasis.

This version of Oasis is completely a game world without any restrictions. As long as you have money to buy equipment, you have crossed the first and last threshold.

The oasis has its own currency and its own way of making money, and you can enjoy highly stimulating activities that you cannot enjoy in the real world without taking any risks.

Between the cruel reality and the beautiful virtual world, many people will choose to indulge in it.

Norman is already trying his best to use Osborne's black technology to revitalize society, but this still requires everyone's efforts and time.

After experiencing something like an alien invasion, the unemployment rate and ZS rate in the United States are actually lower than during the financial crisis. This is already considered a miracle.

But it is conceivable that there must be people who are just making a living by working, because the drug abuse rate here is still among the highest in the world.

Harry believes that over time, as the economic situation gets better and better and life becomes easier, people will have more time to discover the beauty of reality and better distinguish between the real and virtual worlds.

But in the current situation, it is difficult to say that such a world will not make Norman's efforts in vain.

Moreau is a realistic person and he can understand Harry's thoughts.

But Halliday is not. He obviously does not agree with Harry's words: "...Boundless imagination is the most beautiful. If we put shackles on this world, then what's the point of creating it?"

In his view, the game world is an old friend who has been with him for decades, and is what supports him through the trough period and allows him to survive to this day.

But he can not only perfect his real life but also satisfy his spiritual needs by selling oasis, can others?

Harry shook his head.

"It has many meanings, but the most important thing is that it should serve reality and not be a place of escapism."

To be honest, Harry is also in a bit of a dilemma - the protagonist in the movie "Ready Player One" seems to have solved this problem by giving the world an anti-addiction, but is it possible?

Anyway, Harry thought it was unlikely.

If a person is addicted to it, even if he is given an oasis for only one day a week, the rest of the time he can devote all his attention to imagining what he will do on that day.

Just imagine if a person only thinks about what to do on the weekend while working, how can he be interested in doing something groundbreaking?

In the same way, if a student studies with this kind of thinking, how can he learn well?

A balance point, a link relationship, must be established between the frame world and the normal world.

"...We can set the character to lose everything after his death?" Morrow said on the side.

In fact, he was somewhat aware of this problem. After all, he had always been in charge of raising financing, and Halliday was an idealist who focused on it.

If Moreau had also devoted himself to research, the two of them would have slept on the street long ago.

"We can discuss this issue later. I have better technology - you can give it a try first." Harry clapped his hands and showed the two virtual reality chambers.

The two were stunned - this thing was very similar to the "high-end equipment" they imagined.

But the Osborne Group seems to have never demonstrated relevant technology. If they can come up with such a thing all at once, why invest in them?

To understand this problem, they first had to try out what this device was like, so they lay down in it.

.....

"You two, how do you feel?"

Harry appeared in front of them again, and now they were in a grassland.

This grassland is lifelike, with wind-moving grasslands, dazzling sunlight, and distant snow-capped mountains, it is almost as if you are actually there.

But that wasn't what surprised them most.

What surprised them most was the soft green grass, the gentle breeze, and the slight burning sensation of the strong sunlight on their bodies.

This shocked them greatly.

You know, this kind of picture is not a problem for Oasis. They can also use some feedback servers to create the effect of being hit and touched.

But it can never be that real.

"This... we can't do this... how is this possible?" Halliday felt a little complicated. On the one hand, he was extremely curious about the world, and on the other hand, he felt frustrated.

In fact, there was something even more outrageous. Harry broke off a piece of grass, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

The two of them followed Harry in a daze and made the same move--

They found that the grass didn't disappear in a snap. They could feel the texture and texture of the grass in their mouths...

taste?

The two of them grabbed a handful of grass and put it into their mouths like homeless people who had been hungry for two weeks!

Until they confirmed that it was real and they actually experienced the taste!

Not only that, they noticed something that was ignored by their subconscious mind, that is, from the moment they entered this grassland, there has been a faint earthy smell surrounding them.

Taste and smell...this is completely different from the current VR technology!

But even so, they are still lucky - they can also carefully prepare soil and fresh grass in the virtual warehouse...

"I won't call you all the way here to feed you grass. Let's look at the next scene." Harry smiled and drew out a control menu.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings turned into a noisy New York market, and Harry handed two pieces of pizza to the two of them.

After trying the pizza, the scene changed to a dry desert again, with edible cacti at hand.

Then they experienced the noisy dance hall, the bloody battlefield, the silent seabed and so on.

Changing so many scenes in a short period of time made them feel dizzy and called to stop.

"Please stop, Mr. Osborne! I...I can't hold it anymore!" Moreau knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Seeing that it was almost done, Harry switched the scene to the previous conference room.

Although Halliday also felt uncomfortable, he was more surprised.

If he could achieve this level of virtual reality, wouldn't he be able to go to heaven?

However, this is what Harry is worried about: in a sense, this virtual reality chamber can even achieve a better anesthesia effect than medicine.

It doesn't matter if it's just to make money, but the problem is that humans are not the only race in this universe. What if we live in a virtual world and aliens come?

Shout "Aliens have taken over the earth" again?

Halliday may not have thought much about pioneering this technology, but its oasis in the movie has led to countless people becoming addicted to it.

I am looking for someone to operate this technology, not asking them to develop "electronic medicines".

Harry knocked on the two virtual reality warehouses:

"This technology has great potential and I have high hopes for it, but people cannot give up on reality."

As he spoke, he opened the virtual reality cabin, and Halliday and Moreau saw themselves lying in the cabin.

The two of them had their eyes closed tightly, but the corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise. From this perspective, they looked like two fools.

"If you are the kind of people who can only lie in it, tell me, can you still build that oasis world?"
