Chapter 352: The Concept of "Metaverse" Becomes Popular

January 1.

The West believes that today is the first day of the new year.

This day is very representative.

Many companies will choose today to hold press conferences, indicating that the new year will have a new style.

Silicon Valley, the United States.

This place where IT elites from all over the world gather is always stepping on the future trend of the world's Internet.

Today, a company standing at the top of Silicon Valley, Facebook, was officially renamed Meta.

Zuckerberg stood in the center of the stage built for him, and excitedly told his views on the future world.

He asserted that the future belongs to the era of the virtual world, and the metaverse will become the biggest way for people to socialize. You can meet and play with anyone at home without leaving your home.

And dropped the heavy news: Meta invested $800 million to build a super-large-scale data center for the storage of massive data in the metaverse.

At the same time, it released its first AR (augmented reality) product: Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses.

These glasses allow users to send and receive Facebook Messenger messages while wearing them. They have built-in microphones, speakers and smart assistants, and the frames are equipped with two front cameras, so users can take videos and photos.

Zuckerberg showed off its amazing design and practicality at the launch event.

Let users around the world know that this is not a toy worn on the head, but a practical first-generation product that connects to the Metaverse.

On this day, Facebook shocked the world!

The three words "Metaverse" instantly became the hottest words on the Internet at home and abroad, without a doubt!

Because this world-leading social company announced to the world: They are betting everything on the Metaverse and betting the future of the entire company on it.

This wave is a desperate move!

In China, countless people are discussing the three words "Metaverse".

Knowledge bloggers, popular science Vs, marketing accounts, whether they understand it or not, all started to explain it.

The first place on the Weibo hot search list has changed from a middle-aged male star releasing a new album to # The Metaverse Era is Coming # .

Bilibili, Douyin, and Kuaishou have all started to explain what the Metaverse is, and Facebook has done something shocking again.

The next day, a large number of Chinese people were browsing Douyin at home and suddenly it became the space of the Metaverse.

It seemed that everyone started talking about this matter.

At this moment, if you don't know the concept of the metaverse, it seems to be outdated.

On the second and third days, domestic Internet giants announced that they would also enter the metaverse.

And they showed their research progress on some smart products and metaverse interfaces.

There was even a big company that posted its VR social software and screenshots that were almost ready on the Internet, and publicly announced that their metaverse social platform would officially start testing and operating next month.

This trend swept across the Chinese Internet in 3 days.

The big companies seemed to have a tacit understanding. Anyone who said that they didn't have a longer layout than Facebook would be embarrassed!

Everyone is optimistic about the future of virtual reality.

In 3 days, stocks of companies related to virtual reality rose sharply!

The meta (Facebook) sector rose by 10 percentage points, and the market value soared by 57.7 billion US dollars!

Virtual reality companies are making a lot of money!

Some listed companies were just burning money to raise funds, and it was not time to reap the rewards. The sudden surge confused the capital behind them.

This was too sudden!

The world was dizzy because of the fruit of the future thrown by Zuckerberg.

It was as if humans were about to enter the metaverse to survive.

After Chinese netizens finally figured out what was going on, a more sober friend asked a very philosophical question:

"Do we not need to eat after entering the metaverse?"

The concept of the metaverse, which had been crazy for many days, began to waver in China because of the appearance of this sentence.

"Yes! As long as people still need to eat, drink water, live in a house, and raise children, they have to go to work. Who is in the metaverse every day? The real world is the eternal home. Brothers, just take a look and wait until you can lie at home and plug in the nutrient solution without moving."

"Wait. What you are talking about seems to be a virtual online game in online literature! In it, you wear a helmet to enter the nutrient chamber, and then you don't come out for many days. Think about it, is this the case?"

"Fuck! Don't say it, this matter can't be thought about carefully. The more you think about it, the more it looks like it! After all this time, this metaverse. Is it a virtual online game in online literature? That's it? I knew more than Zuckerberg in junior high school, okay?"

"Bah! What is the current metaverse Gou Ba, it is still a million miles away from the online game articles. Forget about brain-computer interface, it would be good if you can understand AR and VR. Let's go to bed. It's not too late to be happy when that day comes. These days, I'm quite excited and think it will come true. Forget it, I'd better read online game articles. Do you have any good recommendations? (No old books!!! I've read them all!)"

"Brother, I'm also an old online game reader. I strongly recommend a new book by Zhongshan Novel, "Online Game of the Almighty Druid", which is very good!"

"New website? New book? Is the quality guaranteed? I don't like to read those that update slowly every day. It makes me irritable."

"10,000 words per day, and occasionally 12,000 words per day."

"Downloading Zhongshan novel."

For a moment, everyone on the Chinese Internet was speechless. That's it?

Isn't it just the concept of online game literature that has come true?

It's just a concept. What a panic!

That group of foreigners are really ignorant!

One netizen suddenly said: "It would be great if someone could translate two online game literatures for them to read. Don't make a fuss every day, as if you have never seen the world. Take something we have played with and treat it as a new concept!"

"Oh! You say translate and translate? You pay? How many people abroad can read online literature? Which company does this?"

"That's right. But I still hope to see how foreigners read our online game literature. It must be very interesting."

"Sparrow food."

During the New Year's Day.

Pu went to Hengdian to find his Yu Han to be sweet.

The lights of Duoyu Company were bright!

At this time, Zhu Yinyin and Yuan Hua, who had finished filming "Star Legend", returned to Kyoto.

One directly entered Yang Mimi's studio, became an artist under her, and took a black silk advertisement under the arrangement of the agent.

Yuan Hua returned to school excitedly, and couldn't wait to share with his roommates what he had seen and heard in the past six months, the secrets of the screenwriting industry and his new script.

But when he arrived at the dormitory, he found that it was empty!

The whole dormitory was covered with a layer of spider webs.

"Bang!"

The box in his hand fell heavily to the ground, and the local specialties in it were scattered all over the floor.

At this moment, it seemed as if he was abandoned by the world.

Yuan Hua knelt in the dormitory, covered his head with his hands, and cried out:

"No! No! No!"
