Rong Yuan shook his head, and then said: "Why make it public? People who don't even have the vision to discover wealth are not qualified to own it."

——So don’t always put your own level on others!

Jin Yang thinks that Rong Yuan is really good at everything, but this shortcoming often makes people speechless.He always feels that others should have the same level of IQ, observation, judgment and knowledge capacity as himself. "You don't know this is common sense?" The look on his face is really hateful.

"And..." Rong Yuan's expression became serious, and his gentle smile was inexplicably more ironic and cold, "What do you think will happen if it is really made public? People will really realize the truth contained in [Ark] value of knowledge?"

Jin Yang thought for a moment, then fell silent.

Rong Yuan made a conclusion: "No, they will start a war! At that time, the [Ark] will be full of smoke and flames of war, especially the Tang Kingdom that owns the [Ark], and I am afraid that it will be the first to be punished by others. The country's joint forces are destroyed. This is the most direct consequence."

If it weren't for the madness to kill everyone who stood on the opposite side, then no one could stand against the whole world, neither Rong Yuan nor Sugar Country.

And what is in [Ark] actually challenges everyone's common sense and their worldview.Because Jin Yang had speculated about Rong Yuan's secret very early on, coupled with his own personality, he could easily and calmly accept all of this.But for the average person, the shock of being confronted with the truth is likely to destroy them.

So they need a slow, step-by-step process to slowly discover and accept this fact.But when they dig out the truth bit by bit, what they feel will not be the fear of the world being shattered, but the joy of gradually digging out a treasure.

Rong Yuan also hopes that his [Ark] is a world that people can accept willingly and happily. What people can enjoy in it is joy, exploration, and the kind that truly has freedom and control over their own lives. Feel.But if the secrets hidden in it are revealed, even if the most serious and tragic consequences he expected will not happen, at least there will be those in power who will force the citizens to enter it, plunder resources from it frantically, and try to stop others by all means Get resources from it.

They will regard those 9000 million planets as a stepping stone for them to obtain resources, and regard the library that Rong Yuan is proud of as their own property, a forbidden place that the weak cannot touch.They will not use a relaxed mind to appreciate and understand the more than [-] million planets and various intelligent races outside the earth, and will not open their eyes to see the colorful world in the vast universe, but will try their best to put [Ark] has become a dark place full of killings, competition, conspiracy, framing, and intrigue. It is even possible to extend this competitive relationship to the real world when the conflict escalates. original intention.

Moreover, the earth has 1000 years to develop independently and freely, and there is no need for human beings to rush to the sky and have the power to fight against alien planets now.They can develop slowly and calmly, and the seedlings are encouraged to grow, and the greatest possibility is to grow into a four-faced one.

"Then, is it only the government that can understand the situation and then consciously guide players to choose?" The "government" that Jin Yang mentioned naturally only refers to the sugar country.

Rong Yuan ticked the corner of his mouth without warmth, and said, "[Government] is just a symbol, a nickname, and it cannot guarantee absolute justice and strictness. It is just composed of many ordinary people who also have selfishness, desires, and positions. It’s nothing more than an institution, and sometimes it’s just a manifestation of the will of a certain person. Can’t you and I see this clearly because others are far away? Therefore, I may be able to give temporary trust, but I cannot put this kind of Power is vested forever in one institution."

"Then who is the 'absolutely fair and strict' trustee you chose?" Jin Yang asked.

"You've seen it."

"I've seen it?" Jin Yang subconsciously recalled someone who both he and Rong Yuan knew and had qualifications——

Kim Nan?No, he is busy with many things and has no time to manage a huge virtual game world; similarly exclude all the elders of the Jin family; Emerida?That girl is really smart, but she's too innocent, and doesn't have certain qualities needed to manage the [Ark]; Rong Rong herself?He is an unparalleled trailblazer, he can make the rules, but he has absolutely no patience to spend a long time on management and continuity.

Could it be that……

With a flash of inspiration, Jin Yang asked, "Who is that in the library?"

Rong Yuan chuckled lightly.Jin Yang didn't know why he suddenly thought of that NPC whom he had only seen once, but he saw Rong Yuan's expression and knew that he guessed it right.

"It's really him?" Jin Yang himself was a little surprised.

"Well, it's called Hongjun, a high-level AI, the real manager of the [Ark] world."

Rong Yuan did not name it "Noah No. [-]" this time, because Hongjun is not a copy of Noah, but the joint efforts of Noah, Rong Yuan and Emerida. Noah and Noah No. [-] have a lot of changes in their programs, and their personalities are also different.It is like a generous elder who has both the inaction of Taoism and the justice of Legalism. It is also like a curious child who absorbs new knowledge every moment and learns about the world with great interest. At any time, it knows what the bottom line it should abide by and what principles it should follow.It is much better than the fickle-minded and short-lived human beings.

In Hongjun AI's program, there is a very complex and rigorous screening and judgment system.Although only the NPC in the library is the image Hongjun chose for himself, and only this one shows its original character, but in fact, all the NPCs in the [Ark] world can be said to be Hongjun’s consciousness. Clone, it has countless eyes and ears in this world, it can judge a person's temperament, whether he is lying, his potential, how harmful he is, and whether he is trustworthy from the most subtle words and deeds. Be able to judge whether a person should be specially cultivated, or should be vigilant.

Rong Yuan briefly introduced the manager to Jin Yang. Jin Yang looked at the NPCs around him, some were vulgar, some were gentle, some were steady, some were lively, some were shy, some were enthusiastic, Thousands of people have thousands of faces, there may be similarities, but they are not exactly the same. If Rong Yuan hadn't told him, he would never have imagined that these NPCs with very different personalities are actually the same AI behind them.

"However, in this [Ark], you haven't mentioned the biggest benefit." Rong Yuan said with a bit of mystery.

"The biggest benefit? Isn't the library?" Seeing Rong Yuan shaking his head, Jin Yang thought about it for a long time - knowledge, systematic training methods, knowing himself and the enemy, and so on. Finally, he spread his hands and asked: "What is it? You should just tell me directly .”

Rong Yuan rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked: "After talking for a long time, are you hungry?"

Jin Yang was taken aback for a moment, followed his words carefully, and suddenly found that he was not only hungry, but also thirsty. Only then did he realize that he had been in the [Ark] for three or four hours, and only what he saw and what Rong Yuan had seen in front of him His words made him unaware of the passage of time at all.

"Your press conference!" Jin Yang said worriedly: "Should we go back? At the end of the press conference, you still need to come forward?"

"Don't worry." Rong Yuan said nonchalantly, seeing a steamed stuffed bun shop right next to him, he said, "Let me treat you to steamed stuffed buns! It's pure natural and pollution-free, without any additives or spoiled meat. It's definitely better than before. The steamed stuffed buns taste a hundred times better."

As the creator of the [Ark] world, even when all other players are poor, he still has unlimited backpacks and unlimited money.Jin Yang asked for two steamed buns with fresh meat and a cup of soy milk, and complained, "Did Baozipu pay you for advertising?"

Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the money it makes all mine?"

Jin Yang reacted for a moment, then asked in astonishment: "Are you going to start the currency exchange system?"

According to Jinyang's understanding, online games rarely allow game currency and real currency to be exchanged directly. Players can use money to buy game currency, but this process cannot be reversed.Firstly, there are a lot of gold coins in the game. If they are all exchanged for real currency, the game company may lose money to death; secondly, as a virtual currency, the game currency does not have the nature of real currency, and the exchange rate cannot be adjusted. For example, real money is calculated and adjusted based on many objective factors, and the two are not in the same financial system.How much it is worth is the official decision of the game. There is no unified standard for calculation. If it is not done well, it will lead to a series of problems such as inflation, stock market crash, kidnapping of real currency value, etc. In addition, there are various problems such as money laundering and asset transfer. Trivial legal questions.

Rong Yuan is well aware of these problems and difficulties, but he still said with certainty: "Yes, after the official operation, [Ark] will open an exchange system with real-world currencies. Players can not only trade with players, but also Sell ​​items directly to the system store, or work for NPCs to earn wages. No matter how much the game currency is obtained by any means, it will be converted into real currency to maintain your life. Of course, Hongjun will know the specific exchange rate. Make adjustments according to the actual situation and the needs of [Ark].”

Jin Yang slowly chewed the bun in his mouth and swallowed it. It tasted really good, but he didn't want to taste it.He said: "The bank manager called me before and told me that you emptied all the money in your account, just to support the currency exchange of [Ark]?" It was Jin Yang who was taking care of him.So whenever something happened, the manager called him first.At that time, Jin Yang had doubts, not knowing what Rong Yuan needed such a large sum of money for, now he understands.

Players want to withdraw money from the [Ark] game. First of all, of course [Ark] must have money in the real account. One or two million cannot be supported, and even several hundred million may not be enough.For the money that Rong Yuan put in, the annual interest alone is an astronomical figure.

Of course, when [Ark] is accepted by many people and more and more people invest in it, it will start to make a profit, but at the beginning, Rong Yuan must have been losing money.

"To be precise, it's not all, it's 90.00% of my personal assets." Rong Yuan said.In fact, as the invisible richest man in the world, the remaining one percent of his property is still a huge wealth that many people can't even imagine after working hard for a lifetime.As for the 90.00% nine invested in [Ark], they did not put all their eggs in the same basket.

In order to make this exchange effective without restriction in all countries in the world, he split the assets into many shares, cooperated with many world-class banks or national banks, and stipulated in detail the management and use of accounts, [Ark 】The exchange rate of the currency in the contract, the annual interest rate and output, etc., each contract is a thick pile, and in the details, changes must be made taking into account the differences in regions, countries, and customs. In the last two years of the [Ark] project, Rong Yuan’s research institute specially convened hundreds of talents who are proficient in the laws of various countries. After lengthy discussions and revisions, the final version of the contract was determined, and then the leading person responsible for communicating and negotiating with various banks , that is Zhou Yuan, the girl with her sharpness and strength repeatedly made the other party break out in cold sweat when she tried to take less responsibility and more gain, the news came back to Rong Yuan's ears, he actually couldn't imagine that scene.

Jin Yang was wiping his hands with a paper towel, but he forgot what he was doing halfway through. After digesting the news, he finally understood Rong Yuan's intention: "You want to make [Ark] into a human Another world? Is that so?” If not, if it is only for the inheritance of knowledge, people can slowly discover that holographic virtual games are so interesting, and there is no need to invest so much.

"Why not?"

"But... if too many people are involved in the game, they can enjoy both happiness and money from it, and the productivity in real life is getting less and less, so how can we maintain our real life?"

At that time, it will no longer be parents who do not allow their children to play games, but parents who bring their children to play games together—Rongyuan’s [school system] can completely make parents who dote on their children or care for their children take the initiative to support themselves The child gets involved.But at that time, when all the people play games, it should be countries that lack productivity to explicitly ban the circulation of [Ark].

"Does our society really need so much manpower?" Rong Yuan asked rhetorically, "If it was 100 years ago, or 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago, the problem you mentioned might have occurred. But Now, most people are actually doing low-value repetitive labor, such as farming, breeding, and factory processing, which can be replaced by machines. Art creation, design, computer programming, scientific research, and legal consultation , education, traffic violation handling, etc., can be carried out by transferring the office location to the [Ark] world, and there are more abundant conditions for you to do better, and you can save a lot of time spent on traffic .There are very few jobs [Ark] that cannot be replaced, such as doctors, right? But this kind of people can also spare part of their spare time to better hone their skills in this world." He paused, and then said: " And I've always felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing for the world if most people stayed home and played games, with less freedom to move around."

Jin Yang was about to be convinced by his previous words, but the last sentence seemed willful again, he smiled helplessly and said: "But...you never do meaningless things, and you will never force others to do things , put so much thought into it now, it seems to lure more people into this virtual world...is there any...necessary reason?"

"Of course there is." Rong Yuan asked abruptly, "Are you still hungry?"

Jin Yang was so distracted by his divine twist that he couldn't turn his head around. He was stunned, and when he came back to feel it, the feeling of hunger had long since disappeared.

His hunger is not something like seeing his health drop on the attribute panel and then the game reminds him that "you are hungry", but his real feeling.But after eating two buns, a piece of data to be precise, this feeling disappeared.

Jin Yang looked at Rong Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

Rong Yuan said: "You have to know that this kind of hunger is not from the design of the game, nor is it the hunger simulated by stimulating your brain with electrodes, but the subconscious mind of the brain judges that you should eat now according to the biological clock. Illusion, your body doesn't really need it—do you understand?"

Jin Yanggang didn't understand at first. After he lowered his head and thought for a while, he said hesitantly: "You just said...the biggest benefit in [Ark], did you mean...time?"

The brain needs judgment, but the body does not. The only reason for this contradiction is that the time they spend here is inconsistent with the time in real life.

The corners of Rong Yuan's mouth turned up, and he slowly broke into a smile. He said: "Compared with alien intelligent races, the disadvantages of human beings are too obvious-poor physique, low IQ, short life span, and weak learning ability. If we continue to develop like this, don't Say 1000 years, 1 years will not be able to catch up! And I can't take care of the earth forever, and I can't completely modify human genes to prolong the life span of this race."

Rong Yuan naturally puts the whole earth in the position of "being looked after", and regards himself as the party who has the qualifications and ability to "take care of". What shocked him was that he actually thought it made sense.

"So..." Rong Yuan turned his head to look at Jin Yang, his eyes and expression seemed to reveal great power, he said, "I chose to prolong the time of human beings."
