The mage civilization, whose technology is so far ahead of Earth's, has arrived. Before, there might have been a distinction between the inside and outside of the pass, but now, in the face of the mage civilization, everyone is a barbarian.

Forget about entering the country, America's technological advantage, painstakingly built up over the years by attracting top talent from all over the world, has been completely lost.

Beyond its technological advantages, the American Alliance's efforts to stir up trouble in China's media landscape have become increasingly less effective since the advent of the Truth System.

The traditional film industry is utterly powerless in the face of real-life idols.

The multilateral monetary bridge has effectively crippled the dollar's hegemony.

If it weren't for this series of events, which greatly shook the foundations of America's global dominance, then...

Lee Hsien Loong may not be willing to sell Singapore to Cheng Li.

It was precisely because he saw the collapse of the original order that Lee Hsien Loong was determined to complete this deal, even if it meant the destruction of his century-old empire.

For China, I have always been a follower. Before, I was chasing America, and now I am chasing the Mage Civilization together with America.

Not to mention whether the mage civilization is even interested in Earth.

China is happy with the current situation.

China has no foreign debt, and its domestic debt can be completely resolved with its mobilization capabilities.

Many people want to get rid of Zheng Li, but they can't even kill him physically, let alone make him disappear from Earth completely.

"Actually, from another perspective, this is a good thing for us. When humans enter the virtual world, the boundary between the virtual world and the real world is further blurred."

Internet companies can do much more.

We are already in a cyberpunk world, but instead of being transformed by machines, people are bound by them.

In the past, smartphones bound people; in the future, virtual reality devices will be the key.

"Virtual reality devices can enable closer connections," Pony remarked.

Pony, born in the 1970s, will be 60 years old in 2031.

He was originally supposed to retire, but the emergence of the virtual world made him decide to work for a few more years.

As one of the few founders who has managed to keep his company under his control until the very end, Pony is exceptionally skilled at keeping a low profile.

Keep a low profile when you should, and admit defeat when you should.

Ren Yu sighed and said, "The only regret is that in the past we were able to obtain most of the data on the clothing, food, housing and transportation of almost all Chinese people."

If we want to study a person, we can even know them better than they know themselves.

Once we enter the virtual world, Kechuang Bio will certainly not open this part of the data to us.

Many ecosystems need to be re-explored.

Pony nodded and said, "So this is our most important job: to find a way to survive in the new virtual era."

After losing QQ and WeChat, the most important thing is whether we can find new momentum to support Tencent in the new era.

"The release of the virtual reality device is the most important thing for the entire group."

When Pony Ma was interviewed back then, he proudly said: "More than one billion photos are uploaded to Tencent's platform every day. Tencent has a grasp of the changes in the appearance of almost everyone in China and can predict their future appearance."

In fact, Tencent can do much more than that; they can understand everyone's daily life, including their clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

......

"I am very happy to be here today to launch the most important product in the history of Kechuang Biotechnology, which I think is also the most important product in human history."

I was actually quite nervous.

I joined Kechuang Biotechnology the day it was founded. At that time, I never dreamed that we would be the ones to usher in the era of virtual reality.

When I was in high school, there was a very popular movie called Ready Player One.

Actually, the movie was adapted from a novel, which was published in the Science Fiction World Translation Edition. The translation edition published Ready Player One and Two over two consecutive months.

I found it in my father's study, and I remember reading the novel over several weekends in a row.

When the movie was released, I was very excited because it proved that I had good taste. Spielberg also liked the science fiction novel that I liked, and it was even adapted into a film.

The virtual reality equipment featured in the movie will be personally launched by the company where I am the CEO more than ten years from now.

This was something I, as a young person, never imagined.

As she gets older, Li Miaomiao's style of hosting the science and technology innovation press conference has also been changing.

Pretend to be mature when you're young, and pretend to be young when you're old—this is an unchanging truth.

Of course, thanks to the beauty potion provided by Zheng Li, even at thirty years old, she looks no different from twenty.

"When I was in college, I watched the launch event for the first generation of brain-computer interface VR technology from Kechuang Biotechnology. It was hosted by Mr. Li. So many years have passed and my child can walk now, but Mr. Li doesn't look any different from back then."

This was a comment posted on Weibo by a fan during a break from watching the press conference livestream.

It was widely shared in a short time.

The launch event for the virtual reality device was held in Suzhou and broadcast live globally.

It is conservatively estimated that more than 50 million viewers worldwide are watching the live stream.

On major live streaming platforms in China, once you turn on the bullet comment function, you'll feel a dazzling array of comments.

There's simply not enough time to see everything.

Viewers who use brain-computer interfaces to watch live streams in VR will feel as if they are surrounded by bullet comments.
