54: Chapter 54 Virtual Reality: Creating a Second World – Myth!

"Creating a 'second world'?"

Minister of Culture Zhang Jianguo sat in Lin Yun's office, the teacup in his hand nearly slipping.

He looked at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Comrade Lin Yun, you mean... we are to construct a completely virtual yet incredibly realistic digital world?"

"Exactly."

Lin Yun nodded, his eyes sparkling with the light of confidence.

"A brand-new world... one that will make Hollywood movies seem dull and tasteless in comparison!"

"Through Naked-eye holographic projection technology, combined with our quantum computers and AI computing power, as well as Neural sensing technology extracted from the 'Zhu Long'."

"We can create a 'virtual reality world' for humanity that is even more exciting and free than the real world!"

"And I intend to name this world—'Mythology'!"

"'Mythology'?"

Minister Zhang Jianguo murmured to himself, as countless ancient myths and legends of the Dragon Kingdom instantly flashed through his mind.

Pangu creating the heavens, Nüwa mending the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei filling the sea...

If these stories, filled with imagination and romance, could be presented in the form of "virtual reality," how shocking would that be!

Lin Yun looked at Minister Zhang Jianguo and continued to explain: "'Mythology' is not just a game; it will be a 'second home for humanity' that integrates entertainment, education, social interaction, and even scientific research."

"In this world, people can experience the long history and culture of the Dragon Kingdom, learn various traditional skills, make friends from all over the globe, and even personally participate in various mythological events!"

"And all of this will be presented through naked-eye holographic technology, blurring the line between fiction and reality, even surpassing real sensory experiences!"

Minister Zhang Jianguo trembled with excitement.

As the head of the Ministry of Culture, he knew all too well the difficulties of exporting Dragon Kingdom's culture.

Hollywood movies, with their superb industrial technology and universal values, had swept across the globe.

While Dragon Kingdom's culture had profound depth, it was often difficult for the Western world to accept due to limitations in its form of expression.

But Lin Yun's "second world" completely overturned his understanding!

This wasn't just cultural export; it was practically a cultural "invasion"!

A cultural invasion that was silent like a spring rain, yet unstoppable!

"Comrade Lin Yun! This... this is simply a stroke of genius!"

Minister Zhang Jianguo was so excited he almost knelt before Lin Yun.

"With this 'Mythological world', what does Hollywood matter?!"

"Our Dragon Kingdom culture will surely conquer the globe with an unprecedented posture!"

Lin Yun merely gave a faint smile.

"Minister Zhang, this is only the first step."

"The core of the 'Mythology' world lies in its 'Cultivation' system."

"I will integrate the unique 'Cultivation' culture of the Dragon Kingdom into this virtual world."

"Letting players from all over the world personally experience the process of starting as a mortal, cultivating step by step, and finally attaining the Dao and ascending to become an Immortal!"

"And in this process, they will subtly feel the spiritual core of Dragon Kingdom culture, such as 'Unity of Man and Heaven', 'The Dao Follows Nature', and 'Self-Improvement through Constant Effort'!"

Minister Zhang Jianguo's blood was boiling as he listened!

Cultivation!

For people of the Dragon Kingdom, this concept was filled with infinite imagination.

And for the Western world, it would be an even more unprecedented brand-new experience!

"Comrade Lin Yun, I understand!"

Minister Zhang Jianguo stood up abruptly, knowing how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was.

"I will immediately organize all the elites of the Ministry of Culture to cooperate with your 'Pangu Project'!"

"We must build this 'Mythological world' into a cultural miracle... one worthy of being recorded in the annals of human history!"

Lin Yun nodded, satisfied with Minister Zhang Jianguo's enthusiasm.

In the following days, the entire Ministry of Culture, Academy of Sciences, and even the Military-Industrial Group of the Dragon Kingdom began to operate at high speed.

With Naked-eye holographic projection technology as the core, combined with the supercomputing power of quantum computers and the deep learning capabilities of AI intelligence.

A massive and sophisticated "Virtual Reality Engine" was being built under Lin Yun's leadership at an incredible speed.

Ling Yao, meanwhile, devoted herself entirely to the artistic design and plot framework of the "Mythology" world.

She poured all her profound understanding of traditional Dragon Kingdom culture, her unique interpretation of myths and legends, and her advanced concepts of future artistic expression into this world.

She envisioned countless magnificent immortal mountains and blessed lands, designed countless spiritual divine beasts and monsters, and conceived countless cultivation plots with ups and downs.

And Lin Yun turned these artistic visions into reality, one by one, through black technology!

In the "Mythology" world, players could connect via a "Neural sensing helmet" (simplified from the Neural sensing technology of the 'Zhu Long').

Once they entered, all their senses would be deceived.

They could feel the gentle brush of a breeze, smell the fragrance of medicinal pills, hear the melodious sound of the zither, and even experience the thrill of flying on a sword!

The AI characters in the game also possessed extremely realistic intelligence, capable of deep interaction with players.

They were no longer simple NPCs, but "virtual lives" with independent thoughts and emotions!

In just three short months.

A virtual reality world named "Mythology" had already taken its initial shape in Lin Yun's hands.

Lin Yun invited Qin Zihan, Nightingale, Mitsui Reiko, Academician Su Qingyu, as well as Old Chen and Little Zhang, to experience it in advance.

The moment they put on the Neural sensing helmets and entered the world of "Mythology".

Everyone was completely shocked by everything before their eyes!

They felt as if they were truly in a Xianxia world filled with Eastern charm!

A gentle breeze blew, bamboo forests swayed, and immortal cranes circled in the sea of clouds.

Pavilions and towers were simple and elegant, with spiritual energy swirling around.

"Is this... is this really a virtual world?"

Qin Zihan took off her helmet, her eyes filled with disbelief.

As a scientist, she knew the boundaries of technology, but the world of "Mythology" had completely overturned her understanding.

"I felt like I was really there, flying on a sword!"

Nightingale's face also showed unprecedented excitement.

She had even felt the thrill of "slaying demons and monsters" in the virtual world!

Mitsui Reiko and Academician Su Qingyu were even more captivated by the exquisite beauty of the "Mythology" world.

They felt as if they had truly become fairies from myth, strolling through a fairyland.

Old Chen and Little Zhang were even more excited, speaking incoherently.

They knew that Lin Yun had created another miracle!

An "ultimate miracle"... one capable of changing the way all of humanity entertained itself!

Lin Yun watched their reactions, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Didn't Hollywood mock us for being unable to export our culture?"

"Then let them see what a true 'cultural dimensionality reduction strike' looks like!"

"Minister Zhang, are you ready?"

Lin Yun turned to look at Minister Zhang Jianguo beside him.

Minister Zhang Jianguo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Reporting to Comrade Lin Yun! The global open beta can be launched at any time!"

Lin Yun's gaze looked out the window; the night was deep.

He knew that the moment the gates of the "Mythology" world opened to global players.

An unprecedented "cultural tsunami" would sweep across the globe, centered on the Dragon Kingdom!

And those Western media outlets that had once mocked Dragon Kingdom's culture, as well as those forces that attempted to control the world through cultural hegemony.

They would all be completely lost in this "Mythological world"!

He could almost see the sight of global players going crazy for the sake of cultivation, for ascension, and for the culture of the Dragon Kingdom!
