"I’m sure everyone is aware of what kind of world that is..."
Wu Xiaoli continued her presentation on the stage, "It’s a place that can accommodate hundreds of billions of people, and that’s just the first phase. With sufficient subsequent developnt capacity, although that ga didn’t have a follow-up, if one could fully master the source code and continue intelligent algorithms, the world could accommodate trillions of people."
"Moreover, it has a complete Reincarnation System, sothing that all previous worlds lacked. Intelligence reports indicate that in that world, after reincarnation, one could maintain an almost eternal life. The first group of players who explored that world forty thousand years ago are still lucid and have not contracted Alzheir’s disease."
The eting room fell into silence, the mbers on stage had heard this argunt countless tis before, but each ti, it possessed an irresistible allure to them because the prospect of permanently eliminating Alzheir’s disease and maintaining eternal reincarnation was too tempting.
Digital life initially touted immortality, but in fact, could not achieve it; otherwise, the Federation would not have invested a massive amount of resources to establish an artificial embryo system to ensure population growth...
The lifespan of digital life in this world is limited; although unbound by the physical body and free from diseases, uploading to the digital world is based on gene algorithms. There’s one inexplicable ntal disorder that can’t be avoided - Alzheir’s disease.
No one can explain why, even without a brain, one might still contract this disease; but the fact remains that once the digital life approaches three hundred years of age, their mory becos increasingly muddled, as if reaching a limit, eventually coming to a halt, becoming a pile of dead data.
Nurous AI and mathematical experts have studied this problem, unable to solve it.
But in the ga world... this problem has been resolved to so extent!
People discovered that by entering highly intensive ga worlds, and truly achieving what’s called cultivation and evolution, the overall data undergoes a qualitative change, thereby truly achieving a lifespan extension. Nobody expected that the absurd practices of cultivation found in novels and ga worlds would actually manifest in the digital world...
However, not all worlds work. To date, the Federation has tested tens of thousands of gas from the old world, and very few can evolve data...
Currently, each district only has one or two such worlds under their control, and they are basically not open to the public.
Once these worlds mature, the Federation will select those highly graded engineering talents into the world slots, allowing them to live in that world. In those ga worlds, they will have extrely realistic lives, a fresh start, and even if there are accidental deaths, most people will not regret it; it’s the desired destination for many high-level intellectuals.
With these worlds, the stability of the Federation’s rule has increased significantly.
But now... the situation has changed.
Mainly in two respects - the first being... the accommodation rate is not enough!
Perhaps because the ga world simulates too realistically, players have regained the desire for childbirth within the ga world. Although players cannot procreate offsprings with NPCs, they can complete the process with other players.
The specific principle is actually that the system takes the genetic encoding data of two people, transmits it to Digital City, where the data is entered into the real-world artificial embryos, creating artificial babies. Finally, extracting the baby’s data and writing it into the ga world perfectly completes the process of childbirth!
To attract high-intelligence technical specialists to serve the Federation, entry thresholds into the ga world are extrely high. Moreover, obtaining permanent residency points within is also high, and the points required to give birth to the next generation are even higher!
The exorbitant costs of residency and childbirth an that even evolved talents mostly continue to serve the Federation, constantly working on energy facility upgrades and renewals.
Despite having to exit and work half the ti, many are still willing to do so, after all... that place, you can experience the true aning of life...
However, this policy, after being implented for so many years, has finally pushed the accommodation rate of several gaming world regions to their limits. Most ga worlds actually are not very large, with the most habitable being the Martial Arts World and the Fantasy World. But those worlds were designed with the old-world population in mind, with a capacity of just tens of millions of people. As players keep reproducing and living longer lives within, new slots have beco more expensive.
In the past, just completing an undergraduate course in engineering and becoming a qualified engineer would allow one to earn permanent residency in the ga world within thirty years. But now, with such competitive conditions, even an advanced engineer who has completed a Ph.D. still needs to work for hundreds of years to obtain residency, and the right to reproduce is even more costly. This prohibitive threshold has led to significant dissatisfaction, with frequent instances in recent decades of high-level knowledge specialists threatening the safety of Digital City.
The second point is that the desires of the elite have grown even larger!
New ga worlds allow for evolution and growth, resulting in stronger and updated data, which has allowed so elites to gain advantages and extend their lifespan several tis that of an average person. The most advanced among them even have records of living for tens of thousands of years.
These ancient beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years are almost invincible in Digital City. Now holding absolute power, they naturally are not content with the end of their lifespan and becoming dead data.
They’re actively seeking to develop a new world, one with higher limits.
"The Demonic World, according to intelligence verification, can accommodate hundreds of billions of people even if its source code cannot be replaced!" Wu Xiaoli continued, "Its special Reincarnation System perfectly solves the digital version of Alzheir’s disease. Although so mory is lost with each reincarnation according to the intelligence, basic personality does not fall into oblivion. As long as reincarnation is successful, one can continuously experience new lives. It could nearly... perfectly resolve all of today’s societal problems!"
This was no exaggeration. If the Demonic World were to be conquered, its vast accommodation rate could instantaneously welco billions of players and grant them the most satisfying lives. With continuous reincarnations and new experiences, while maintaining personality yet shedding mories, it could suppress the weariness that humans might feel to the greatest extent.
For the elites who sought eternal life, that was also the place with the best conditions. According to intelligence reports, the first batch of players... are still alive!
Based on annual calculations, even though the flow of ti between the two worlds differs, even when adjusted to our ti, the first batch of players has lived for forty thousand years!
"Are you sure it’s safe?" The first to express doubts was a council mber from the Huazhong seats.
Huazhong District has always been conservative. Since the developnt of the Demonic World project, it has been classified as an extrely dangerous project eleven tis over forty thousand years. Huazhong District voted in favor of it each ti, and in nine of those instances, the proposal was initiated by Huazhong District.
"For now, it’s safe..." Wu Xiaoli replied cautiously.
Although she was from Huazhong District, not all the conservatives within support restarting the project. The reason is simple... because those people from the ga world can co out!!
