CHAPTER 1821: CHAPTER 954: THE AGE OF THE METAVERSE IS COMING

Ding Yue never felt that a day could be so long.

Watching every member of his Mist City Arts and Science University’s computer competition team "busy" diligently on the field, Ding Yue felt quite at ease. After all, he really trusted in the abilities of Xu Bin and Chen Jun.

However.

Given that the opponents are top global universities like Stanford University, MIT, University of California, Imperial Polytechnic University, and Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, it’s uncertain whether they can break through and win the championship of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

Ding Yue is confident, but he cannot guarantee a hundred percent.

Even before the competition, Xu Bin told Ding Yue that he couldn’t guarantee a one-hundred-percent chance that Mist City Arts and Science University would win the championship of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

"Hello, everyone! This is the live broadcast of the National Television Station’s Science Education Channel. In this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest, there are a total of twenty-four universities that have entered the finals. Among them, the computer competition teams of three universities from Xia Country - Qinghua University, East China University of Science and Technology, and Mist City Arts and Science University - are busily completing their Metaverse projects. The theme of the Final of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is the Metaverse, which I believe many of you have heard of. Next, let the National Television Station’s Science Education Channel Live Room explain to you what the Metaverse is..."

The reporter from NTS is broadcasting live from the scene.

During the report, since they can’t constantly focus the camera on the competition teams, NTS presented a science segment to explain what the Metaverse is.

Domestic netizens also actively participated in the live discussion of this competition.

"Although I don’t really understand what the Metaverse is, it seems to be very impressive."

"Actually, the current virtual internet world can be called the Metaverse."

"It’s not quite the Metaverse yet."

"The computing power required to build a Metaverse is quite massive."

"I wonder if the true Metaverse can be explored once the next chip technology innovation, the 3nm chip, comes out."

"I think the Metaverse should be an incredibly influential game."

"Yes, I also think it should be a virtual game. Current games already have decent financial properties. If a tech company specializing in the Metaverse can create a very open and free gaming world, then the Metaverse can be achieved."

"I am looking forward to such a virtual game."

"I heard you can even buy houses in the Metaverse?"

"Not only can you buy houses, you can even find a job and make money in the Metaverse, hahaha."

It must be said that domestic netizens are very enthusiastic about the Metaverse. Many suggest that it’s best to use a game to start the true era of the Metaverse.

For the netizens, this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest might be the prelude to opening the era of the Metaverse.

Ding Yue also believes that this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is an opportunity.

If Mist City Arts and Science University can win the championship of this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest, then with efforts throughout the year, if they can develop the 3nm chip, they can develop their own Metaverse with the Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.

And this Metaverse, just like the early days of the Internet, whoever starts earlier can quickly capture the Blue Ocean Market and gain a substantial market space.

Meanwhile, the overseas 3nm chip industry technology is also progressing intensively.

Mist City Arts and Science University must be faster than overseas countries in their research; otherwise, it won’t qualify as an overtake on the curve anymore, and by then, it will require 2nm chip-level research to achieve that.

Clearly, Ding Yue doesn’t want to wait until then. Achieving an overtake with 3nm chip technology is the best timing.

Inside the venue of the competition.

Time was ticking by second by second, and some universities had already begun to showcase the Metaverse computer technology they developed. It really seems to be something substantial.

However, the current showcases are all not finished products.

After all, there’s no way to complete them in just today’s on-site research. It will be until tomorrow that the various universities will gradually present their works.

This First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest competition spans one day, which equates to twenty-four hours.

However, obviously, it’s impossible to go continuously for twenty-four hours. The participating teams also need to eat, sleep, and rest, so the competition time is during the day, spanning two full days, which adds up to a total of twenty-four formal competition hours.

During the competition, each university’s team can use their own technology. If they have their own engine technology, they can use it; otherwise, they will use Unreal Engine 5, which is now very mature.
