Virtual reality is equivalent to another world for human consciousness.
Compared to the real world, everyone is a god in the virtual world!
They can do everything that they can't do in the real world, and they can enjoy everything that they can't enjoy in the real world! Stunning scenery, extremely delicious food, flying and hiding are all possible.
So, slowly.
The world has become what it is now.
More than 18 billion human beings live permanently in virtual reality. They are born in incubators, and from birth, their consciousness is immersed in virtual reality through specific consciousness connectors, and then they grow and enjoy life there.
Until now.
Most people in the world don’t even know that the real world exists.
In their eyes, the virtual reality they are in is the real world.
After listening to Shen Yi's story, the hall became quiet.
Everyone has different feelings.
They didn't expect that it was not an external enemy that made the world become like this, but their own choice.
Everything seemed to have returned to that classic line.
"I knew this piece of meat didn't exist, but when I put it in my mouth, the mother body told me that it was juicy and delicious. So, nine years later, I understand one thing: ignorance is bliss."
For the human beings in today's world, they are practicing this sentence.
Maybe it is for the stability of the entire civilization, maybe it is for the so-called happiness.
They chose ignorance and chose to treat things that did not exist as real.
So, is this right or wrong?
This is a question that everyone has his or her own answer to. Some people are unwilling to immerse themselves in virtuality, while others are unwilling to accept the cruel reality.
But now is not the time to discuss the dialectical relationship between the two.
Because everyone knows.
Their coming into this world only means one thing.
——The extinction of mankind.
Whether it is virtual happiness or real cruelty, the human beings in this world will lose it, and they are no longer qualified to make this choice.
Shen Yi saw that everyone was silent, so he took the initiative to break the silence:
"Any ideas?"
People looked at each other, and finally, Chu Lin stood up and asked the question.
"President, why did the human order of this world get destroyed?"
"This issue should have been investigated by the special commissioner himself."
After Shen Yi finished speaking, Chu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the word "originally" means that things are different now.
As expected.
Shen Yi continued, "However, since it is very difficult to save the human nature of this world, I will tell you directly that the answer is the exhaustion of resources and the aging of the system."
Very common situation.
After all, it is just a level one doomsday disaster without psychic energy.
It is only possible to get rid of it unless the technology reaches a certain level.
For example, after completely liberating productivity, it will be possible to transform materials into each other.
However, this situation has only just appeared in this world and people are now aware of it.
The risk of resource depletion has increased infinitely.
If everyone enjoys an omnipotent life in the virtual world, then how will the technology of the entire civilization develop in the real world?
"It seems that you have understood." Shen Yi said softly, "There is nothing wrong with pursuing material and spiritual enjoyment. This is one of the desires of humans like us. However, this desire should be a driving force for progress rather than a burden. The situation in this world is a negative example. At the beginning, people still had a certain sense of crisis. They continued to improve the automation system of the real world you see. However, as they sank into the virtual world generation after generation, this human civilization has gradually forgotten the challenges of the real world. They stopped developing and lost their future. Finally, in the near future, they are no longer able to survive the disaster that they cannot escape."
The depletion of resources and the increasingly aging survival system.
These two factors pushed the entire civilization step by step into the abyss.
This is the end of this "happy" civilization.
And when Shen Yi talks about this now, the feeling it brings to people is even more shocking than before.
Because it was not long ago.
Shen Yi made them truly understand the "human principles" that the Pan-Humanistic Principles Protection Association protects.
"The human order in this world has actually been destroyed by themselves long ago, right, President?" Mo Qiu raised his head and looked at Shen Yi.
"From the moment they lost their future potential, after the long river of fate, human nature was destroyed." Shen Yi nodded, agreeing with this statement.
The "human reason" protected by the Pan-Human Reason Guardian Association is both the continuation of human civilization and the future development potential of human civilization. From the former point of view, the human reason of this world still exists, but from the latter point of view, it has actually been destroyed long ago.
So, here comes the question.
How should we save such human nature?
Everyone is thinking about this question.
Moreover, everyone has a sense of despair.
Disaster.
It's too difficult.
In the previous world, the world that Gu Yan and Reed saved, human beings gave up the future and gave up struggling because of their own sins and numbness to despair.
Such a civilization is inherently difficult.
Even though Gu Yan and Reed had tried their best, in the end, being able to keep 100 million or 200 million people alive would be a nearly perfect outcome.
But what about this world?
The people in this world choose to give up their future because they enjoy themselves and immerse themselves in a virtual yet beautiful world.
It's simply an upgraded version of the previous world.
How to save such a civilization, how to bring them back from that beautiful and happy virtual world to the cruel and desperate real world? To do this alone, for the people of this world, I am afraid it would be no less than the end of the world.
Because the virtual world has become the real world in their eyes and hearts! "Now, you all know the basic situation of this world." Shen Yi's tone gradually became more serious. His gentle and powerful eyes swept over everyone and asked slowly, "So, who wants to become the savior of this world?"
This is the last teaching world.
These people in the hall also have the last chance to become trainee special envoys without taking the exam.
