The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 471: Disconnect from the Internet! Confinement! Anti-addiction! (Seeking monthly votes)

Before the Pang Yun incident, everyone had almost forgotten about preventing addiction.

The past year has been a year of rapid development for Dream Building, but it has also been a year of continued decline for other games, especially various mobile games.

The type of game that parents like to report the most is mobile games.

This is quite different from the overseas preference to get entangled with DEI.

But now, they all have the same result——

Both mobile games and DEI are no longer as prosperous as they used to be.

Except for "Nations" and Dream Building, which are still doing very well, the rest of the mobile games are half-dead.

Even the former king, "Abyss of the Gods", has lost its glory.

——Although "Frost and Snow Project" can still be played on mobile phones, even if cloud gaming is used, only the most basic game content can be played.

If you want to play the "full blood version" of the game, you can only change the hardware.

Therefore, he had already been kicked out of the parade.

Not to mention DEI, who was already dead after being hit again and again by Xu Meng.

Therefore, at this time, there are very few public opinion attacks against the entire gaming industry on social networks.

Especially domestically.

At this point, if we don’t add a bunch of adjectives to the game, it is almost equivalent to referring to dream building!
But when it comes to building your dreams in the country, you really need to think carefully about it.

Against the backdrop of the global economic downturn, how much has Xu Meng done this year?
No one talks about technological breakthroughs or driving industrial transformation.

The fantasy game kits, holographic equipment, and dream machines he developed are all best-selling products around the world.

The activated industrial chain, newly built factories, and jobs provided are all real contributions to society!

The Ningzhou Super Factory, which produces media for holographic equipment alone, has 30 jobs for those with higher education and 18 jobs for those with medium and low education.

——In the early stage, high requirements are placed on employee quality, and a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement, with no upper limit.

But now that the factory is running smoothly, it has begun to tentatively recruit skilled workers with high school education for training.

The second and third super factories have also started construction and are expected to start construction in the second half of the year.

By then, there will be at least 20 jobs!
Considering the hardware of the holographic equipment, the hardware of the dream machine, the patches and incense related to the sleepwalker...

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of jobs he directly created is as high as millions.

If indirect employment is included, that would amount to millions, or even tens of millions of jobs!

When it comes to Zhumeng, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "food and clothing of millions of canal workers."

In this context, attacking DreamCraft to make games?

Give me a break!

Is your child addicted to games and not studying well?

That's because your parents didn't educate you well!
The bastard kid deserves a beating!

What does it have to do with dreams?

game?

The game is great!
Workers in the industry chain related to dream building would like everyone in the world to play the game as much as possible.

In this way, there will be a steady demand for the products they produce and their jobs will be stable.

In addition, after the launch of the dream machine, "anti-addiction" has become even more unrealistic.

A bunch of hardcore gamers started playing games 24 hours a day.

I play the game in my dream when I fall asleep, and continue playing it with the Fantasy Game Suite when I wake up.

Even this way of playing is quite healthy.

Get enough sleep and exercise.

Isn’t this better than preventing addiction by not allowing people to play games, but much healthier than lying on the bed and watching short videos?

Under the influence of these factors, "anti-addiction" is a concept that is almost forgotten.

But now, Pang Yun's actions once again reminded everyone of this matter.

Online 20 hours a day.

I worked so hard that my brain nerves became tired and dulled, and my brain-computer interface became buggy due to continuous high-intensity operation...

This is really... unbelievable.

This is not just a simple addiction, this is simply a life-threatening situation!

"I don't limit the functions of your brain-computer interface because I feel that after this operation, the network has become an extension of your limbs."

"Your dependence on the Internet will be greater than that of ordinary people on mobile phones."

"I don't have the heart to restrict you in this regard, and I also hope to learn from your actions and provide convenience for those who undergo brain-computer interface surgery in the future."

"But I never expected that the first important lesson was that I had to limit your ability in this area."

Xu Meng couldn't help but sigh.

While speaking, he was already quickly checking the conditions of several other patients.

It has been half a month since Pang Yun's "Case No. 1" was successful, and the brain-computer interface team has certainly not stopped moving forward. With the support of higher-level departments, they have helped four more patients complete brain-computer interface surgeries.

——Generally speaking, for dangerous and sensitive surgeries like brain-computer interfaces, even if there are successful cases, it is impossible to proceed to the next one so quickly.

Instead, we have to wait for a longer period of time to make sure that Pang Yun has no subsequent side effects before performing more clinical operations.

But Xu Meng's miracle of success, success, and more success made everyone full of confidence in his skills.

Some processes were tacitly accelerated.

Fortunately, although these four patients also go to the virtual world every day, they are not as addicted as Pang Yun.

Overall it's still controllable.

This made Xu Meng feel somewhat relieved.

He looked at the medical staff who had already rushed to the ward, pointed at Pang Yun and said, "Disconnect him from the internet, lock him up for a day and let him get some sleep."

After saying that, he looked at Pang Yun again: "As for you, go to sleep quickly."

"While you sleep, we'll do a comprehensive test of the neural interface in your brain."

"From now on, the time you log into the game consciously cannot exceed 8 hours. I will write this limit into the system."

"Also, you reminded me that it's time for Dream Building to introduce some anti-addiction measures."

Pang Yun widened his eyes in horror.

Being restricted in gaming time by Xu Meng was one thing, but what was even more terrifying was——

From what Xu Meng said, he plans to introduce comprehensive anti-addiction measures? ?

Then...players all over the world will probably hate him to death!

"Boss Xu! Think twice! Think twice!" Pang Yun begged for mercy loudly.

But Xu Meng was not moved at all, just waved his hand: "Go to sleep quickly."

After saying that, he disappeared in the ward and went to find the brain-computer interface expert team to arrange a comprehensive physical examination for Pang Yun.

In the ward, Pang Yun looked at his last hope - Xiao Meng who had not disappeared yet.

"Xiao Meng! Can you help me?"

Xiao Meng chuckled and said, "I can't help you."

"Xiao Meng stayed here to supervise your sleep, go to sleep quickly!"

Pang Yun was in deep sorrow: "The other players will definitely scold me to death!"

His guess was very accurate.

In Xu Meng's live broadcast room, a group of players who were watching the fun suddenly realized that the fire might burn themselves, and they immediately stopped laughing:
"Hashibean Sack!!"

"Wait, Xu Meng, wait for me!!"

"Don't do that kind of thing to prevent addiction!!"

"Just sanction the users of the brain-computer interface. The Dream Machine didn't provoke you or provoke you!"

"Pang Yun! Fuck your uncle!"

……

There was a lot of curses in the live broadcast room.

But this matter is irreversible.

Xu Meng made this decision not only because of Pang Yun.

The more the [Rejuvenation] project progressed, the more Xu Meng felt that this project had great potential.

Starting with brain waves and nerve signals, not only can the elderly regain their youth, but they can also reverse their depressed, pessimistic and desperate mentality.

Even for depression that is not more than moderate and early-stage Alzheimer's disease, it can have a certain alleviating effect.

But at the same time, he also noticed some problems:

The decreased brain activity in the elderly is not only affected by their mentality, but also by the limitations of their physiological functions.

There is nothing wrong with allowing the elderly to return to their youth in a short period of time.

But if the time is too long, even if everything except the brain and the body is in a low-power state of deep sleep, most of the "computing power" will be compensated by the server computing power, and the brain that has naturally atrophied and aged will not be able to bear it.

Judging from the current data, the critical line is around 6 hours.

Once it exceeds this length, if you still want to continue playing without putting too much pressure on your brain nerves, you can only compensate by using more server computing power.

But this computing power demand will increase exponentially over time!
After realizing this, Xu Meng immediately thought of another question:
If the atrophied and aging brains of the elderly face this problem, what about minors whose brains have not yet fully matured?
He hasn't had time to verify this, but he thinks it probably has an impact.

It’s just that it’s hard to say whether this impact is good or bad.

But no matter what, "anti-addiction" restrictions must be put on the agenda.

Xu Meng ended the live broadcast to deal with this matter.

But players don’t know that its “anti-addiction” system is mainly aimed at the elderly and minors.

I'm furious now.

And the minors who were already in high-risk areas were now completely furious!
