Osborne Megacorp

If Halliday was really just a game addict, he wouldn't be able to develop games, especially Oasis technology.

In fact, he worked hard to create the world of his imagination, studied hard, went to college, studied software engineering, hardware design, etc.

So his original intention of creating the oasis was not to create a haven to escape reality. He was just obsessed with that world and thought it would be better if people could better experience the beauty of that world.

Seeing himself lying in the virtual warehouse looking stupid, his mood became a little complicated.

Morrow was very open-minded: "Do we look so stupid?"

"Of course, you are not really that stupid as you are now." Harry shrugged, "It's just a little exaggerated."

After the words fell, Harry showed the true appearance of the two of them. In fact, they had no expression at all. At most, they were a little pale.

Harry briefly introduced: "Brain-computer interaction technology and virtual world technology can affect all five senses. Of course, it is controlled and not 100% mapping."

It sounds simple, but in fact, the technical content of this virtual warehouse is much higher than that of Oasis.

"I want you to run the world." Harry said bluntly.

"But...is there any difference?" Halliday was confused now, "Isn't your system easier for people to get addicted to?"

Harry thought about it and decided that it was better to see it first.

After waving his hand, the surrounding scene turned into an open space, and steel bars were erected under his command.

"For example, the framework system is based on existing physical rules. In other words, at least from a macro level, it is interoperable with reality in many aspects."

The steel and concrete were accumulated bit by bit by Harry to form a dome building with a strange structure.

"I'm using these traditional materials to restore the basic structure of Osborne Tower -"

As soon as he finished speaking, the complex building became shaky, the internal materials broke, and the entire building began to collapse.

"You can see that the previous materials were not able to support the structure of Osborne Tower - if we were to build a building like this we needed better materials."

Harry replaced it with new materials obtained from the Chitauri and asteroids, and this time the structure did not collapse again.

This is just a simple example to illustrate that this system can even be used to study structural mechanics and simulate engineering design from a macro level.

With this set of equipment, everyone can try architectural design and verify its feasibility.

Not only engineering design, these scenarios can also be used for teaching. After all, some experiments and teaching methods are very expensive and cannot be used by everyone.

Once the cost of education comes down, education can be more popularized - of course, it does not refer to equestrian learning or the like. He has always disliked the so-called "aristocratic education".

Only by allowing people to better see and understand advanced technology will more people be interested in it.

The previous situation was like 100 out of 90 people doing repetitive work, and only 10 people had access to these things, so they became high-tech workers.

And among these 10 people, at least 9 are not really doing research.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Harry always believed that people always had curiosity about the wider world, but it was just obliterated by the cruel reality.

Not only in the fields of scientific research and education, but also in social interaction, psychotherapy, etc., the virtual world can be a good transition option, but it should not dominate.

After thinking for a moment, Halliday and Moreau roughly understood what Harry meant.

"This system can better feed back the advantages of the virtual world to reality, rather than just 'making people happy'..." Morrow murmured.

"Of course, you can continue to design some weird game worlds based on this world - cultural products are also products. After all, computers are not only used for academic research, right?" Harry added.

By this point in the conversation, Halliday and Moreau were completely captivated—it seemed closer to the world they imagined.

The boundaries between virtuality and reality are blended in a better way than they are in opposition.

"Wonderful world...but why did you come to us?" Halliday was very straightforward, and he expressed his doubts.

To be honest, this set of technology and ideas can defeat 100% of its peers, so why did you seek them out?

Harry thought silently: Because you are talents who have been certified by movie plots and can handle this important task.

But of course he wouldn't tell them that, now is the stage of drawing a cake.

"You should all know Dr. Otto - his dream is to bring nuclear fusion energy to reality; and Dr. Connors, his dream is to repair his own arm.

In fact, Osborne has many employees, and I am very optimistic about them. They have dreams and abilities. The only thing they lack is resources - and what I lack most are resources. It's as simple as that. "

Harry believed that allocating resources to those with abilities and dreams was the most advanced means of adding value. Isn't this the advantage of being a time traveler?

As for grabbing the market, it can only be regarded as the next three things.

"So do you want to accept this offer?"

Harry waved one hand, and the two of them sat at the same table, holding two exquisite pens in their hands and two contracts in front of them.

In fact, this is nothing to consider at all. Osborne is the best employer they imagined.

Salary and other things are secondary. The key is that Osborne can really make the pie and share it with them.

The two looked at each other, made a decision in their hearts, smiled and put down the pen in their hands.

"Are we just signing in this virtual world?"

Hearing this, Harry also smiled and snapped his fingers with his right hand.

A line of small words appeared in front of Halliday and Moreau: Exit the frame?

The two chose yes.

.....

With the signing of the agreement, Osborne now has another innovative network company, whose main business is virtual world operations.

After signing the agreement, everyone walked to the door of the conference room. Moreau suddenly said to Halliday:

"Do you still want Kara's contact information?"

This question stopped Halliday. He is a shy person, and personal questions are always very damaging to such a person.

He became a little helpless.

Harry found this scene very interesting: in the movie, Halliday had a crush on someone, but he didn't take that step in the end.

Now this scene is kind of interesting, because Kara is not a "person".

Harry said: "If you're interested, I can help you - but Kara is a synthetic."

The word "synthetic human" made both of them stunned. They didn't expect that there was something more sci-fi?

Seeing this scene, Harry smiled: "So you see, imagination has boundaries. I always think that imagination is just a supplement and guess about the unknown part of reality. Of course, this part is usually very interesting and there are It's just that it's useful sometimes.

So should you continue to imagine what kind of person Kara is, or should you find her yourself to find out? "

Halliday looked at Harry, and then at his good friend Moreau, who was winking at him.

"Then...it's up to you."
