"Marshal Sai, thank you very much for your support, otherwise I would not have the confidence to argue with the Star Alliance." After the Star Alliance president was forced to agree to Cheng Xin's research on the light speed spacecraft, she said with relief.

It is not easy to openly break up with a behemoth like Star Alliance. It often only takes a little pressure to make people give up.

Just like in the original work, Cheng Xin asked Vader to surrender. To a large extent, Vader was also fighting against a behemoth, and Cheng Xin was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"I have said before that I will insist on researching curvature spacecraft, and thank you for resisting the pressure of the Star Alliance." Sai said.

"Those idiots are hopeless and they actually expect the Trisolarans not to study light speed spaceships."

"By the way, according to the earth's calendar, today is June 12th, which is Independence Day. Although there is no country now, I have prepared a holiday gift for you."

(Philippine Independence Day is June 12)

After Cheng Xin finished speaking, she took out a beautifully packaged box and gave it to Sai. After opening it, the latter saw a huge helmet with many complicated things on it, as well as a signal probe for connecting to the spinal nerves.

"The portable brain-computer interface is controlled by human brain waves and is equipped with the latest generation of quantum computers to exchange information with neural signals from the cerebral cortex."

"It can be used to download knowledge, manipulate computer equipment, form a complete personal terminal system with a micro-quantum computer implanted inside the body, and enter a highly realistic virtual world."

"This is the latest generation. Currently, only the technologically advanced Ring Republic can manufacture it, and the Star Alliance cannot. At present, we plan to get rid of the bulky helmet and create a more miniature brain-computer interface."

"Of course it's not that simple to enter the virtual world, because just inputting neural information into the brain may cause certain confusion, so after entering the virtual world, a special virtual cabin is required."

However, there was a virtual warehouse in the laboratory, so Sai lay down in it, and a liquid was quickly injected into it. According to Cheng Xin, this liquid can provide false information to people's skin.

"By the way, stabbing into the spine won't directly paralyze it, right?" Sai asked worriedly before starting the machine.

"Don't worry, it's not direct penetration, which will indeed paralyze the person. Our method is to first perform surgery on the spine, implant a quantum computer for reading signals, and create a reading port in the human body."

"Then the signal probe will directly pass through the reading port and connect to the quantum computer inside the spine. To put it simply, the signal probe will not penetrate the skin at all."

"You have already undergone relevant surgery. There is a reading port in the spine, and there is a matching nerve electrical signal reading device in your spine." Cheng Xin explained.

"Okay." Sai nodded, and then the signal probe on the helmet began to pass through the reading port and connect with the quantum computer in her spine.

After the virtual warehouse and the brain-computer interface were activated, Sai just wanted to turn it on, and his eyes lit up. Cheng Xin and others and the virtual warehouse in front of him disappeared instantly, replaced by a lush forest.

Then Sai was surprised to find that his feet actually stepped on the soil, and the nerve fluid in the virtual cabin seemed to not exist.

Sai tried to touch the helmet on her head again, but she found that the helmet she just wore no longer existed, and her activities were not restricted by the virtual cabin or other things.

She even found that the clothes she was wearing had been changed and were not the same ones she was wearing before.

Sai subconsciously felt a little scared and wanted to exit the virtual world, but then she returned to reality in just a moment.

"It's so real. I actually felt the wind blowing across my skin just now. It's exactly like the real world. This virtual world is so realistic." Sai was surprised.

"Yes, this virtual world is very realistic. It is almost the same as the real world. Even the physical rules are similar, because all substances in this world are composed of molecules."

"Currently we are still trying to improve the accuracy and simulate atoms in the virtual world, and even the nuclei and electrons inside the atoms. These are not irregular quantum movements and can be simulated in theory."

"Of course this is not the only virtual world. To be exact, humans now have hundreds of virtual worlds with varying degrees of accuracy. What you just entered is the No. 1 virtual world of the Star Circle Academy of Sciences."

"The area of ​​Virtual World No. 1 is 15,000 square kilometers. In addition to inorganic substances, Virtual World No. 1 also has 150 kinds of organic substances, including large creatures such as pigs and sheep."

"The purpose of making it is for scientific research and some high-cost mega-projects. However, the No. 1 virtual world has not yet been completed. It will not be completed until the atomic nuclei and electrons are simulated."

"The amount of calculations in this virtual world must be terrifying, right?" Sai said in surprise.

"Yes." Cheng Xin nodded and said, "In order to create the No. 1 virtual world, we used 450 super quantum computers, each of which is as big as a skyscraper."

"We were able to build so many giant quantum computers mainly because we had a good relationship with Starlink at the time. They funded them and we provided the technology to build them."

As Cheng Xin spoke, the holographic projection next to her also displayed these quantum computers, because she was also equipped with a bulky brain-computer interface that could use brain waves to operate the computers next to her.

Each giant quantum computer reaches straight into the sky. It is more like a high-rise building than a computer.

"The energy consumption of these things is very staggering. The energy consumption of each giant quantum computer is no less than that of a Star Destroyer, and it requires a planetary engine to supply energy."

"If the Solar System Fleet and you had not chosen to support us, the Ring Republic would not be able to afford these giant quantum computers, and this virtual world would not be able to continue to exist."

"It seems that there are quite a few people in the Solar System Fleet who are willing to follow me." Sai laughed.

"It's more than we expected, but it can't compare to the Star Alliance. Currently, Saturn, Neptune, the Kuiper Belt, and the 12 natural satellites of Jupiter in the main world are controlled by the Ring Republic."

"The rest of the parallel universes are all controlled by the Star Alliance. Their available resources are more than ten times that of ours, and their industrial scale is also dozens of times larger than ours."

"In terms of population, the Star Ring Republic has 20.7 billion people, while the Star Alliance has 435.7 billion people, which means that their number of scientific researchers and senior engineers far exceeds ours."

"Military aspects are even more difficult for us. Without taking into account the support of Trisolaran civilization, the Star Alliance itself has 87 Star Destroyer strike groups, and considering our existence, they will expand their military."

"At the same time, although most of our technologies are more advanced than those of the Star Alliance, we are lagging behind the Star Alliance in some military and engineering technologies, such as antimatter refining technology and strong interaction materials."
