1. Everything starts with the Metaverse
For a long time, the concept of "Metaverse" has been very popular. Tencent, Netease, ByteDance, Facebook and other leading Internet companies have entered the game one after another, earning enough public attention for a while.
On the surface, the metaverse is a form of "game + ecology + social", but it is no longer playing on the computer screen, but wearing AR and VR glasses to become a 3D scene, so why is the metaverse so strange? fire? What is the charm?
The biggest charm of the metaverse is that although it is a digital virtual world, it may be the virtual world closest to the real world.
The metaverse spans the real world and the virtual world.
There is an economic system similar to the real world, an ecosystem of clothing, food, housing, transportation, play, work, and learning.
Perhaps people from different countries and regions in the real world work together to build their own small villages in this virtual world.
Whether it’s playing games or working, collaboration, just like in the Ready Player One movie, will be one of the most fun places in the metaverse, and one of the greatest charms.
Perhaps many Internet companies in the real world can directly move into the metaverse, recruiting personnel and developing products in the metaverse world, just like our current online recruitment, online office, video conferencing...
Therefore, in essence, the metaverse creates a virtual world parallel to the real world, and imaginations that cannot be realized in the real world may be realized one by one in the metaverse.
2. Metaverse and social collaboration
Among the six major technologies supporting the Metaverse, the blockchain technology is placed in the first place, responsible for the construction of the economic system in the entire Metaverse world.
Human beings can survive and continue, and human civilization can develop rapidly. The most important thing that distinguishes us from other species is cooperation !
Why is collaboration important?
We are still in the middle of the new crown epidemic that broke out in early 2020 and has not yet ended.
The country immediately set up thousands of anti-epidemic leading groups from the country to the streets, working together, public transportation, public places, and personal travel were quickly controlled, and medical staff, medical supplies, and public supplies were released. With rapid deployment, the epidemic was quickly brought under control in just a few months.
Looking at the United States, the most developed country in the world, due to the lack of strong social mobilization and coordination capabilities, the epidemic is completely out of control. As of now, a total of 8.82 million people have been diagnosed and a total of 660,000 people have died.
Collaboration is efficiency, collaboration can resolve crises, and collaboration can save countless lives. Therefore, the importance of collaboration is self-evident.
Previous articleThe new infrastructure has been proposed for three years, but when it comes to blockchain, you only know Bitcoin... https://blog.csdn.net/koudan567/article/details/120091420 
https://blog.csdn.net In /koudan567/article/details/120091420 , we mentioned that " the decentralized feature of blockchain technology will once again greatly speed up the collaboration efficiency of the entire social and economic activities ."
In the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035", the central government clearly used a chapter to plan the construction goal of " accelerating digital development and building a digital China ".
Digitization is not the goal. Let data flow and digitize the collaboration among enterprises, governments, and individuals is the real goal.
This involves the concept of the Industrial Internet.
3. What you must know about the Industrial Internet
What is the core of the Industrial Internet? Isn't it the digital collaboration between enterprises!
Let's assume a scenario:
Company A is a building construction company, which needs to use a lot of steel and cement during the construction process;
Enterprises B and C are steel mills and cement plants respectively, and steel mills and cement plants need to use a lot of iron ore and limestone;
Enterprises D and E are mines mining iron ore and limestone respectively.
A, B, C, D, and E companies have a series of business collaborations such as contracts, procurement, finance, warehousing, freight, and inspection;
There is a series of cooperation between enterprises and banking and insurance institutions such as credit, finance and insurance;
There are also a series of regulatory collaborations between enterprises and government regulatory departments such as production, quality, safety, environmental protection, and taxation.
Let's analyze how to achieve digital collaboration between companies A, B, C, D, and E, and between companies and the government?
Now large construction companies, steel mills, cement plants, mines, and government regulatory departments basically have their own informatization or digital systems, and have accumulated a large amount of valuable data.
If there is no decentralized solution for the blockchain, then the centralized solution will be the only option.
If a centralized solution is adopted, it is necessary to develop a centralized system covering all business needs of A, B, C, D, E companies, banks, insurance and government regulatory departments. This business system will be extremely large and complex , The system computing, hardware and security requirements will be very demanding.
The price of using this system may be that enterprises must abandon the system that has been used for many years and a large amount of valuable data that has accumulated in order to realize digital collaboration.
It's almost impossible!
4. Blockchain and Industrial Internet
Because of the natural decentralized nature of blockchain, how can blockchain technology use decentralized solutions to solve digital collaboration?
Enterprises A, B, C, D, and E can still use their original systems.
The business collaboration data between enterprises is uploaded to the blockchain: such as contract, procurement, finance, warehousing, freight, inspection and other data;
· Business collaboration data between enterprises and banking and insurance institutions on the blockchain: such as credit, finance, insurance and other data;
· Enterprises and industry regulators need to coordinate data on the blockchain: such as production, quality, safety, environmental protection, taxation and other data;
Relevant enterprises and regulatory authorities jointly use the blockchain:
Enterprises do not need to upload all data to the chain, and all data is still kept in a private database. Enterprises only upload the data that needs to be collaborated on the chain, or encrypt the digital files that need to be collaborated and transmit them peer-to-peer to complete digital collaboration.
The "Digital RMB White Paper" issued by the central bank in July 2021 further confirmed the programmability of digital RMB, laying the foundation for the on-chain flow of digital assets.
Then the advantages of the solution given by blockchain technology are obvious:
An extremely complex and large centralized system becomes a more flexible, more scalable, and safer decentralized system.
Finally , it is worth mentioning that the country attaches great importance to the innovation and application of blockchain technology.
Beijing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other regions have taken the lead in applying blockchain technology to government affairs systems, realizing the cross-business integration of multiple business departments and greatly improving the efficiency of government affairs services.
The sandbox game platform Roblox, known as the first stock in the Metaverse, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2021, and its market value exceeded US$40 billion on the first day of listing, which made us deeply feel that decentralized digital collaboration technology is getting closer and closer to us. getting closer.
When I was a child, I read a book called "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Its author Jules Verne had a saying: Only by daring to hope can one achieve greatness . Although the metaverse seems to be still some distance away, but starting to imagine and put it into action means that we are getting closer to the future step by step.
