What is the earliest Metaverse?
Turns out you can make money with your feces?
Embryo modification through genetic technology
What if they break the embryo?
I am a science fiction writer
I visited scientists and tech entrepreneurs in China
And collected the results in this book
I want the public to see that something remarkable 8 00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:30,959 Is happening in the cutting-edge technology fields
Scientists have their unique personalities
They are full of new ideas and imagination
They care about the influence on society and humankind
Brought by new technologies
People are having a lot of discussions on the Metaverse this year
Some of those claims
Are over-deifying or demonizing the concept
It’s about bringing a place where you can’t reach physically
To you in digital form
The earliest metaverse is Animal World
How many people have actually seen giraffes and lions on the African savannah in their lifetime
But how do we know about them
Because we’ve seen them on TV before
Today's technology makes it easier to enter a digital world
In a more realistic and unlimited manner
When we talk about virtual reality
People think about Ready Player One
Like wearing glasses all day indulging in a virtual world
It feels kinda scary
While the more realistic thing is mixed reality
Hao Jingfang experiences mixed reality technology
We visited a technology company doing mixed reality
Screens will later become a part of our daily life
When you walk on the street
Actual reality is overlaid by screens
Metaverse will come one day
It’s a process
It doesn’t kill our life
It becomes the foundation of our life
And makes every detail of our life more efficient
Space exploration brings a lot of convenience to our daily life
Absorbent material invented
To solve the problem of astronaut excretion in space
Is now used in diapers
Technologies in such daily necessities
CCD in camera
An imagining technique
Comes from space exploration
And is later put to commercial use
So now we have easy access to beauty camera
As is known
Some commercial aerospace companies in the United States
Offers space trips that cost two hundred thousand dollars
A key technology required here
Is recyclable rocket with a large carrying capacity
If a rocket can be used 10 times
Then the cost will be 1/10 of what it is now
Then we can expect
That some day space travel will be a way of life that ordinary people can reach
I invented a word “Zhai Ye office worker”
So I work from home Monday through Friday
All work can be done online
And I travel the space on weekends
Then going out becomes a fun thing to do
If it’s only for making a living
We don’t have to go out
Forward technology develops rapidly
Increasingly, it constitutes the foundation for our entire society
Young people born after 1995
Receive tons of information
But meanwhile
The information are constantly distracting them
I do liberal education
Popularization of science
In the hope of building such channels for more children
So they can enter the field of forward technology
Or other cultural fields
Meeting scientists
Different people
Are supplies for my writing
For example
When we talk about old-age care in the future
Speaking of old-age care robots
They may not be machines in human shape
Instead your room is a robot
Your bedside table prepares your medicine
And monitors your sleep
Then I think of an elderly
He speaks to his room
A relation like a baby and his cradle
Then he walks alone to the end of his life in the room
Writers write about things that touch them
This touches me
It’s something deep down one’s inner world
Loneliness, ego
The relationship between people
Technology and sci-fi have always been intertwined
The most important thing about science fiction
Is the ability to incorporate people’s real reaction to technology itself
Into the emotional core of humankind
We humans in such a vast universe
How to be with ourselves and how to be with others
