Chapter 215 The Difference Between Computers and Humans
the next day.
Wang Pingan decided to experience virtual reality and see with his own eyes what is so attractive about this thing.
He made the request at eight in the morning, and at eight-thirty the drone transported two sets of virtual reality devices to the safe house.
While watching the robot assembly machine, Wang Ping'an chatted with Angeli: "When I was in college, virtual reality only achieved a sense of reality by presenting differential images between the left and right eyes."
Angele: "The virtual reality I played when I was a kid was like this, except there was a universal treadmill under my feet. I could run around, so I could move my body in the virtual reality world."
"Yes, that's it. I remember that the universal treadmill had to be exchanged for ration points. Now it shouldn't be necessary, right?"
Mobile phone: "No need. In fact, productivity has increased dramatically in the past ten years. Printing technology, which was originally only used to build space structures and deep space strongholds, has been applied on a large scale on Earth. Distribution restrictions such as rationing points have been cancelled."
Wang Ping'an was speechless: "When I came back three years ago, I didn't have such abundant productivity."
Angelie asked from the side: "I have never lived in China. My father always told me that the rumors about rationing and queuing are all made up."
Wang Ping'an: "That's not entirely true. When I was four or five years old, it must have been the seventh year after the war. In order to save energy, the factory's life department was still advocating not to boil water in your own home. There was a boiler room in the living area. The waste heat from the factory is used to boil water. My grandfather takes me to fetch water after get off work every day.
"Because I am a genetically modified child, I have been very strong since I was a child. When I was five years old, I could drag a thermos bottle almost as tall as me behind my grandfather. My grandfather could carry three thermos bottles, and he had the last one on his left hand.
He was injured during the war and could only carry one full hot water bottle, but his right hand could carry two.
"There are four bottles of hot water in total, which is what our family of three needs for a day. In order to save hot water, the old man, who is over 60 years old, still showers with cold water in winter and summer. I think my grandfather finally suffered from rheumatoid arthritis.
It's because of the cold bath.
"At that time, many things required tickets. It should be said that except for daily necessities, everything else required tickets. Even if you had tickets, you might not be able to buy some things, such as milk powder. After the post-war baby boom, everyone had children at home, and the milk powder factory every day
The goods are shipped in the afternoon. When the goods are put on the shelves at the supply and marketing cooperative, there must be a lot of people waiting in line, and they will be sold out within a few minutes of being put on the shelves.
“At that time, there was no real milk powder in the milk powder, it was all milk substitute powder made from other things, so newborns had to take nutritional tablets, otherwise they would not be nutritious enough.
"So sometimes you have to find a way to make some luxury goods by yourself. My grandfather made a chess set by himself. The chess pieces were cut out by himself with a knife. The chessboard was made of scraps picked up from nowhere and the borders of Chu, He and Han were drawn.
Deal with it.
"My grandfather always disliked this chessboard, which made a bad sound when the pieces were hit when playing chess. He thought it was made of wood, so he went to rebuild the chessboard every day and picked through the tatters cleaned out from the ruins. Unexpectedly, he found a perfect chessboard.
wooden table.
"That afternoon, my grandfather turned the table over and put it on his head and went home happily."
Wang Ping'an smiled: "There are two things that impressed me deeply about the old man. One of them was his beaming face when he carried it back to the table."
Angele: “Were wooden tables a luxury item at that time?”
"Yes, most of the furniture in people's homes at that time was made of 'bioplastic', which was a by-product of what Mr. Yuan created. It was actually the solidified corpses of dead insects, similar to coral.
"At that time, we only ate starch produced by insects, made furniture from insect corpses, and drank some wine brewed by cockroaches."
Angele smiled and said, "Just be content. When my dad recalled the period after the war, the most common word he mentioned was hunger. The situation in France has been settled. After all, it is a neutral country."
Classmate Xiaoyun interjected: "Actually, the number of people who died in the war was far less than the casualties caused by the post-war famine."
Wang Ping'an: "That's all in the past. Now even the stuff invented by Mr. Yuan has been eliminated. Starch factories produce synthetic starch directly with water and sunlight."
"'Gaochan No. 1' has been continuously improved and iterated. As far as I know, there are five doomsday bunkers that contain biological production lines that can quickly roll out Gaoshan No. 1." The computer said.
Wang Ping'an: "Really? Is this necessary? Now humans have spread far and wide in the solar system. Even if the earth is destroyed, there will still be complete industry and agriculture on Mars."
Angele: "Be prepared for anything. It looks like it's been installed. Should we go up and experience it first?"
Wang Ping'an: "You look eager to try?"
"I have never played a virtual reality game. My life is basically learning and learning and learning. My father thinks that this is the only way to marry a Dongguo people. He seems to think that Dongguo people are all ruthless learning machines."
"No, even in my time, there were many people who spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, just waiting to go home and take over their father's work." Wang Ping'an answered while turning on the newly assembled virtual reality device.
sit down.
The device looks like an automatic massage chair, and a person can lie down on the chair.
Wang Pingan asked the mobile phone: "What should I do if I want to move my hands and feet after entering the virtual reality?"
"The nerve blocking device blocks your control of your hands and feet."
"It sounds very much like the function of the human-computer interaction system developed by Maga Company."
"Actually, if it only blocks the control of hands and feet, this is a very mature technology that has been used in large quantities."
Wang Ping'an said "Oh", and then asked a question naturally: "In other words, after I enter the virtual reality, whether I want to sing, dance, run or whatever, I am just jumping around in the virtual world, and the computer will adjust it according to my
The command tells me to take action in the game. So what’s the difference between this and the stuff from Maga Company?”
Mobile phone: "The difference is that you are still an individual in virtual reality. However, it is still under observation whether virtual reality systems will cause cyber syndrome. Virtual reality systems have only been used on a large scale in recent years.
There is still relatively little data.”
Wang Ping'an: "Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent? Let's make some guesses."
"I think so." The phone answered resolutely, "Players are still human beings when they enter virtual reality, but the feeling simulated by the computer is, after all, different from the real feeling. These deviations will subtly change the player's mind, but they will not
The disease will develop quickly. According to my estimation, the first batch of patients will appear in about five to six years."
Wang Ping'an: "You didn't tell Mr. 001 this theory?"
"No, because I am not responsible for this part of the work. If someone comes to ask me, I will say it, but no one has asked for my opinion." The computer paused, "Sweep the snow in front of your own door, don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles."
At this moment, Wang Ping'an discovered a difference between computers and humans: they don't like to meddle in other people's business, they are just spectators to things outside their areas of responsibility, and they have no psychological burden.
