CHAPTER 1819: CHAPTER 953: UNIVERSITY COMPETITION WITHOUT GUNPOWDER

Three days later.

Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

The First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is officially held here, with NTS’s technology channel broadcasting the competition live. In fact, aside from NTS, on the day Ding Yue departed, An Yujia also arranged for the Feiyue Home Streaming Media platform, in collaboration with Feiyue Media’s live team, to broadcast this competition.

Domestic netizens can watch this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest on the Feiyue Home Streaming Media platform.

For many netizens who love computers, networks, virtual worlds, or even games, this competition is immensely attractive, as it is a computer contest related to the Metaverse.

The future development of the Metaverse, along with the upgrade and iteration of computer hardware and software, will play a crucial, if not definitive, role.

Virtual world!

Metaverse!

Virtual games, each one is a technology eagerly anticipated by netizens.

Through this Metaverse Computer International Competition, it will be proven to the world which university truly represents the pinnacle of global computer technology, Metaverse R&D capabilities, and virtual technology.

The universities participating from Xia Country in this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest are Qinghua University, East China University of Science and Technology, and Mist City Arts and Science University.

And their competitors are—

Stanford University!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology!

Nanyang Technological University!

University of California!

Harvard University!

Cambridge University!

Japan National University!

Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology!

Imperial Polytechnic University!

Munich University!

...

These internationally renowned universities naturally lead the pack in computer science.

With so many top universities coming together to participate in the Metaverse Computer International Contest, it’s clear that this competition is bound to be bloody and brutal. Who will emerge victorious and claim the championship? We’ll have to wait and see.

Ding Yue naturally hopes that his Mist City Arts and Science University can clinch the championship, because winning would mean Mist City Arts and Science University’s computer science program is number one in the world.

Institutions like Stanford and MIT would then be considered defeated opponents.

Of course.

Achieving this goal is quite challenging. Xu Bin is somewhat confident, yet he remains cautious due to not fully understanding the level of these top overseas universities in Metaverse computer technology.

In any case, just performing their best in the competition is what matters.

Although Xu Bin also knows the computer science level of universities like Stanford University, MIT, Harvard University, and Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, he can’t rule out the possibility of them having undisclosed computer research projects, making it hard to accurately determine their true strength.

If we allow a bit of arrogance, with Mist City Arts and Science University’s current level of computer science, it’s actually quite normal to claim they’d thrash these institutions like Stanford University and Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology.

Nowadays, aside from the 3 nm chip, Mist City Arts and Science University has almost fully developed other related virtual technologies for the Metaverse, and they can even base projects on it. The only problem is that without a good chip, the developed projects might not run as smoothly.

But demonstrating them poses no problem at all.

"Hello, viewers. This is NTS, and we are currently located in Dublin, Ireland, where the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is being held today. Attending the competition are top universities from around the world, including Xia Country’s Qinghua University, East China University of Science and Technology, and Mist City Arts and Science University. What results will they achieve in this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest? Let’s wait and see. Coming up, we’ll go live to the competition site and bring our viewers the latest reports."

NTS’s reporter is broadcasting live.

Domestically.

On various computer-related forums, netizens are fervently discussing this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest. Some netizens even point out that this contest will be a catalyst for formally launching the Metaverse, and that human civilization’s future is bound to head toward the Metaverse.

However, some astronomy and physics enthusiasts argue that humanity’s future doesn’t lie in the Metaverse, but in the vast sea of stars. The sea of stars is where humanity’s romance truly lies.

The two groups with differing opinions even started a heated argument on a large forum, which is quite amusing.

However, what surprises netizens is that besides Qinghua University and East China University of Science and Technology—both powerful in the field of computer science—a third university is also participating in the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

This university is not a public institution but a private one!

That’s right!

It’s a private university, and it is the leading private institution Mist City Arts and Science University.

Netizens know the computer science program of Mist City Arts and Science University is outstanding, as its artificial intelligence is world-class. Even Google Company’s AI technology was surpassed by Mist City Arts and Science University’s AI technology.
