Rui Wenwen''s threat has opened a new era. The network connects people with each other, but the social productivity has fallen back more than ten years ago.


    This is like the film industry during the great depression. Other industries have declined because of the economic downturn. Only movies that can make people escape reality sell very well.


    The network is the same. The network is an illusory real world. It is much stronger than the immersion of movies. It is difficult to imagine how interesting the network will appear in an era of economic depression.


    In Tiandou Empire, in an ordinary worker''s apartment, the man who came back from work collapsed powerlessly on the bed in the living room. The worker''s apartment is basically an apartment with one room and one hall as a family of two. Not even the kitchen. The bathroom is also placed directly in the living room. A family of three living in such an environment can imagine how bad the experience is.


    For the rapid development of the Empire, he had to work until he was exhausted in the factory every day. The wages obtained can barely maintain food and clothing.


    This seemed good to people decades ago. At least they could eat enough. But there is no harm without comparison. Once upon a time, a man had his own house, and he and his sister even had their own rooms.


    But after the bloody reform, everything changed. Their houses were recovered and transformed into state-owned garment factories, and any larger buildings were requisitioned.


    And they are arranged in a snail''s house, living a life of repeated nights every day, like a screw.


    The wind and rain of reality made him learn not to fantasize. No longer fantasize about having a romantic candlelight dinner with your wife, buying some toys for your children, ordering a cocktail in the bar when you are alone, and getting rid of this repetitive and boring life one day.


    But when he became numb, the world changed quietly, when he got the news of network recovery. Somehow, he began to fantasize again.


    Maybe he can''t do anything in reality. But in the online world, he may have a big house. Maybe you can be the king of the game. Or maybe you can go to see the illusory beach with your wife. He has never seen the sea since he was born.


    The renewed hope was as beautiful and deadly as a poppy, and the sweatshop drained all his strength. And he wants to devote all his spirit to this illusory world.


    He is not the only one lying in bed in the worker''s apartment, but also his wife and children. In this era, women and children are not without pressure. In a way, their pressure is not much worse than that of men.


    Women who need a lot of repetitive work and are not excluded from the factory. Rotating machinery is often fatal to hair. In a row, several female employees were twisted into the machine because of their hair. And after breaking to pieces.


    All female employees have to cut off their beautiful long hair in the past, perhaps because their long hair can be changed into a memory of a meat meal, or perhaps just because they can''t afford a hat to wrap their hair.


    Children study in school, but the pressure of learning is no less than that in the factory. Their scores determine their future, which is much crueler than the college entrance examination. The scores in that exam determined their fate for the rest of their lives.


    Efforts and talents are essential. Children without talents can''t change their fate even if they work hard, because the Empire doesn''t have so many resources to train children with insufficient talents to become leaders.


    They will be assigned to a humble home similar to their parents, and then form a family with a woman they don''t know. They will bear and work like machines and reproduce.


    Such a cruel future, the moment they step into the school, they have learned that they want to get rid of such a fate. The minimum standard is to enter the top 3% of all people. If measured by the score line of the college entrance examination, it is probably that you must enter a key university before you can get rid of your tragic fate.


    It is not a book, but a school marked at least 985 or 211. It is conceivable that the difficulty has become the standard to measure everything.


    Men''s children work hard, but sometimes talent is really important. The brain of children before the age of 18 is still not fully developed. This is only a slight difference, which will determine their learning speed. Even if the difference is only 1%, it will be an insurmountable gap over time.


    There is no doubt that he knows that he will never get rid of his tragic fate. The future will still be like their parents, mediocre, painful life.


    So he also decided to give up. It took great courage to give up. Because there is no place to escape from reality, leaving the campus will face the cruel society.


    But now, an illusory world is in front of them. Perhaps there is an illusory world. Even if you become a worker without a future, it doesn''t seem unacceptable.


    Compared with the real network, the network connected through spirit can say more about the ability of immersive experience. They can taste delicious food they have never tasted through mental strength. The unreal scene seen is also like the scene in holographic virtual mode.


    The more dreamy the world is, the more addictive it is. They even choose some virtual food on the Internet when they eat. Make real food less difficult to swallow.


    This family is only a small epitome on the whole continent. After the emergence of the Internet, countless people choose to escape the cruel reality. Almost all people living at the bottom of society are addicted to the Internet.


    At first there was no problem, but gradually the factory owners found that their work efficiency began to decrease. Staying up late and immersing in the Internet can relax their body and mind, but their spirit is. Keep getting tired.


    In the factory, they began to feel sleepy, unable to concentrate, and may even secretly open the network. After all, they can surf the Internet through mental power without any Internet tools.


    The workers who were sleepwalking all day finally welcomed the dissatisfaction of the factory owners. They began to feed back to the state, hoping to get a device to block the network.


    But this is difficult. It seems that there are only some records in the relics left by tulips. But it can only shield the network in a small range. Otherwise, the two empires will never allow the Internet to enter their borders.


    In the record of tulip, this device has an appropriate and easy to understand name, called "wall".


    This is like a wall in the virtual world, which separates the inside and outside, and such a wall is in this world. It is undoubtedly more desperate.
