February 1st, 20X3.
A month after the release of the domestic version of 100% Science Lab, the international multilingual version was simultaneously released in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, targeting more than 4 billion foreign populations.
These countries included: Japan, Gorea, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, and many other medium-sized industrialized countries.
It was expected to attract about 20,000 foreign scientists to enter this scientific simulation game.
The reason why the overseas version of the game was launched a month later than the domestic version was mainly to reduce the resistance of promotion.
Chen Jin intended to wait for the domestic players of 100% Science Lab to come up with some scientific research results to prove the value of the game and let all countries see the potential of the game before fully promoting it.
Speaking of which, in just a month, there were players from Z country who had made research results?
Of course!
There was more than one player who had made results, and there was far more than one project that had been successfully completed.
There were thousands of them!
Because the game 100% Science Lab had a special feature: "In the field of practical application, the research and development speed is 10 times faster, and the accuracy is still close to 100%."
This meant that doing practical application projects in the game for a month was equivalent to doing it for 10 months in reality.
Of course, a large number of scientific research results could be produced in ten months.
Moreover, according to the research and development results, more than 10,000 academic papers were automatically generated, including hundreds of high-value papers … Players who played this game did not have to worry about writing papers at all.
There were even a few papers that had the potential to be published in top science magazines such as Nature. Many editors of science magazines were dumbfounded and at a loss as to what to do.
"All the data in a paper generated by a game is simulated data, but the principle of the experiment, the conclusion of the paper, and the results of the experiment can all be verified in a real laboratory. There is not much difference with the real situation."
"This kind of paper should be regarded as a 'valid' paper," said the author of a paper that applied to be published in a magazine.
"No, it can't!"
The editor-in-chief of the magazine shook his head desperately. "This kind of paper is not an academic result. It is a prank produced by a game. It is not real science! Its appearance is a mockery of all scientists! "
"But … these papers do have great value, and they do represent some truth. Isn't the purpose of scientists' work to pursue the truth? Why should we care about the process of obtaining the truth? "said an editor in the office.
"No, it still won't do. I can't accept such a thesis!"
The editor-in-chief insisted on his opinion. He could not watch a game replace all of science. That would be ridiculous!
Therefore, all the papers generated by the "100% Science Lab" game, no matter how high the value, most of the top scientific journals at home and abroad refused to publish such papers.
Until a certain well-known academic journal was the first to try and publish a few "game papers", and achieved a surge in sales.
After that, there was a chorus of "How fragrant".
In short, there was no doubt that the game "100% Science Lab" was extremely valuable.
On the one hand, it was a practical application that could speed up research by 10 times.
In addition, the threshold for scientific research these days was too high. All kinds of precision instruments and equipment were too expensive. It was simply a "money-burning game". The big countries could still afford it, so they were getting stronger and stronger.
As for those medium-sized industrial countries or small countries with no industrial base, except for a few projects, they would never be able to catch up in most areas.
Now, the functions of the "Science Lab" running in the supercomputer were the same as in reality. Laboratories worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, and tens of billions. As long as your game level increased, you could have them in the cloud server and engage in so-called "cloud research," but the results of research and development could be extracted into the real world.
A magical artifact.
A super magical artifact that saved money!
It gave hope to many medium-sized countries to become a "technological powerhouse."
It gave hope to those old powerful countries to "take shortcuts" and "become a superpower again."
It also gave hope to the vast number of science enthusiasts, folk scientists, and wild masters to become "technological gods" … as long as their level was high enough.
It could be said that the game "100% Science Lab" had brought the entire earth into the era of "low-cost" high-tech.
Although the scientific community of various countries had different opinions about such a game, the governments of various countries had adopted a welcoming attitude with open arms.
Especially when Xing Hai Technologies announced that it would implement the "Science Without Borders" plan globally and promote the game "100% Science Lab."
The performance of each country could be said to be flattering.
Japan: "We very much welcome Xing Hai Technologies' 'Science Without Borders' plan. Our country is willing to contribute 10 billion yen to support the promotion of 'Science Lab.'" This was a direct gift of money.
Gorea: "We hope to be the first overseas country where 'Science Lab' will be launched. Our country is willing to provide 100 billion yen for support, providing free office space, permanent tax exemption, and a certain amount of subsidies every year." The Goreans were even more enthusiastic.
The United Kingdom: "If possible, our country is willing to invest 10 billion pounds to purchase the server of 'Science Lab.' We will build a European server for European players to experience the game and ease the operating pressure of the main server." This was rejected by Xing Hai Technologies.
Germany: "Xing Hai Technologies, it is a pity that we did not reach any cooperation previously. We have corrected some mistakes. We hope to be the best friend and partner of Xing Hai Technologies." The Germans' moral integrity also began to fall.
After a round of showing their goodwill.
Chen Jin noticed that one figure was missing.
Merica.
This time, Xing Hai Technologies did not exclude Merica. They clearly and unambiguously expressed their hope to build a world where "science without borders."
This meant that the game "100% Science Lab" could also be released in Merica. It would attract Merica players and strengthen the technological strength of Merica.
But in the face of such a good opportunity, Merica was actually somewhat indifferent. They did not express the slightest response.
"What's going on?"
Chen Jin was puzzled. He asked Ling Jun Dong and the others to investigate the reason.
Soon, Ling Jun Dong reported the results of the investigation, which surprised Chen Jin.
"The scientific community of Merica saw the value of the game '100% Science Lab.' They wrote a joint initiative letter, suggesting that the president and Congress introduce this game to help Merica's technology continue to stay ahead. Therefore, they hoped that Congress would lift the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies and establish a normal cooperative relationship.
But … "
"This was rejected by Congress. The president agreed at first, but later changed his mind. He thought that Xing Hai Technologies should continue to be sanctioned until Xing Hai Technologies hands over the so-called 'stolen technology.'
The joint initiative by the scientific community of Merica was rejected by politics. "
Ling Jun Dong shook his head. "The government of Merica is still putting up a pointless fight. It has even caused an uproar in the scientific community. Just when the whole world is scrambling to seek cooperation with Xing Hai Technologies, the politicians of Merica would rather embrace stupidity and ignorance than embrace the advanced."
Oh ~
Chen Jin's eyes narrowed. This matter was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was not strange. Instead, it was somewhat reasonable.
"Old Ling, I think that the politicians may not be embracing stupidity and ignorance, but a lie that they can no longer wrap."
