Chapter 4, What Does the World Look Like
The entire adjudication process can be completed within the Gemini Metaverse
Qin Yiguan was uncertain whether to agree with the statement: "The higher the level of technological civilization, the greater the degree of virtualization in the world"
The scene—where the entire environment is a virtual creation—allows the police station to easily simulate a small house and a vividly lifelike girl in a white dress using their privileges
The police no longer need to mobilize large forces as they did in the past, going to the crime scene, surrounding it layer by layer, and setting up extensive security perimeters
A company from Huaxia manufactures ... . ... the second world of humanity
How real everything is
Even in such a technological era
Outside the window of the youth lies the city of reality
The young man murmured to himself: "This is a new era, the era of the metaverse, the era of virtual reality"
From the very beginning, the VR headset—virtual reality
Present
The smart watch received a message
The young boy's palm began to shimmer, displaying a faint luster, and then the flesh tone faded, transforming the edges into blue lines, resembling the auxiliary lines of a sketch.
The long-neglected yet fully automated maglev train glides through the sky, passing by the silver moon
The recent tragic incident involving the young girl
the same time
The sound of flowing sewage can still be heard from the passage beneath the ground
From now on
97% of humanity has completed the transformation of the background world, lying down in nutrient pods, and fully entering the metaverse life
But ... ...
This moment
The current non-invasive brain-computer interface - immersive reality
Everything can be simulated, and this world is no exception
The young man walks towards the darkness under the moonlight
It resembles a forest of steel, a forest of technology, lacking the warmth of human life, devoid of emotions, and even missing a few shades of color
Thus, Huaxia has become the strongest nation in technology
In the darkness of night
There is no one on the train, and there is no one on the street
Current time
This also marks the beginning of a technological era.
He, like all of humanity, lives in this world while simultaneously gazing up at it
This technology, accompanied by insurmountable technological barriers, cannot be replicated by anyone else
and human nature
All of this began in 2022, when people spent an average of 18.9% of their time immersed in their mobile screens at 20ht tp s : / / w w w. he t us h u. co m . com
The Ascension of the World
During this period, the technology progress bar, which had been steadily increasing throughout human history, was suddenly extended by a significant length
The cold moonlight was unremarkable
Ding
Countless ancient metal pavilions rise and fall, their paint peeling to reveal rust beneath, standing in each other's shadows, resembling a city of the apocalypse
Therefore
It is one of the very few offline murder cases that have occurred in this era
but rather a twin world, a completely new way of life
Thus, 50 years after the emergence of the metaverse
The world of the twin metaverse, shared by all humanity
He shifted his gaze to his feet, the canvas soles crunching against the stones, producing a crisp sound
This moment
The young man gazed at time, and his thoughts seemed to transcend a century in an instant
Cognitive Innovation
The future is uncertain, and one may face hardships at any moment
It is called the Gemini Metaverse
August 4, 2122, 20:00:01
The world is like a monitor, its power supply insufficient for the books, ready to shut down at any moment
Since the dawn of intelligent humanity, tens of thousands of years of reproduction and existence have been interpreting one thing
Absolute vacuum, superluminal speed... are no longer concepts that humanity can only sigh at in despair
The gentle breeze stirred his slightly long hair
and all the participants of the event
It indeed occurred, just 2 days ago, and the location of the incident is in the suburbs, 15 kilometers away.
... ...
On the roadside, a seemingly malfunctioning virtual screen flickered in the dim light, with green numerical dates pulsating.
The scenery begins to blur and stretch
In the era of the metaverse, this most fundamental work efficiency has seen an increase of dozens, or even hundreds, of times.
... ...
Certainly, there may be several nanny robots moving around in the train and on the distant streets
The young man furrowed his brow lightly
Officer Wang: Yiguan, every person's brain has a capacity limit. Considering your current physical condition, the bureau may not hire you again in the future. Do not worry...
In this tranquil countryside under the moonlight, flickers began to appear frequently.
This company is named Gemini
In historical records, that term is called 'Great Migration and Book Relocation'
Times have changed
Random
My apartment is located in a disadvantaged urban area
A company with extraordinary technological capabilities has turned a once-fantastical technology into reality
Suddenly made a gesture as if to remove a helmet
Login time has expired
The essence of the scene just now is the metaverse world + virtual venue + simulated perpetrator
Then there is the AR headset—augmented reality
He observes the scenery by the roadside
This is a desolate wilderness, with a few trees in the distance casting vague and somewhat menacing shadows
In a somewhat dim apartment
It is the 101st year since the birth of the metaverse
Look.
People can use devices to allow their consciousness to enter a virtual world
The final words of the youth echoed in the air
The young man looked around.
is the most difficult thing to change in this world
He has exited that world
The emergence of metaverse technology is like a spark that ignites an entire era, where all technological achievements can be simulated and deduced within the metaverse, ultimately being applied in reality
In the metaverse, there are no limitations imposed by physical factors, space, temperature, or chemical elements
The murderer was recreated by Qin Yiguan using the symptoms
It is astonishingly similar to the scene that occurred in front of the cement house previously
That is not a virtual online game
Qin Yiguan rose from the sofa, drew back the heavy black curtains, pushed open the window, and gazed outside, quietly breathing in the fresh air
Blue characters began to appear in mid-air
The young man placed the neural helmet he had just picked off to the side
The advancement of technology is inevitable
In the twin Earth, the gap between the rich and the poor, class oppression, open and covert struggles, the pursuit of fame and profit, and even ruthless brutality by any means remain as they were before
In less than 20 minutes, a bizarre murder case was easily solved
100 years ago
Two police officers, along with Qin Yiguan, only need to sit on the sofa at home, wear helmets, or never leave the nutrient chamber to begin their work
People have welcomed ... ...
The passerby is merely an ordinary resident who happens to be passing by
Please exit as soon as possible
Yet the face and body of the youth shattered into blue code, like dandelion seeds in the wind, dissipating and vanishing
Technological leap
This scene
In the city under the night sky, blue lights twinkle like stars.
The young man let out a sigh
This is my most important part-time job
