Chapter 1090: The Exciting Future
In the end, Duan Siqi decided to go.
You can go to the library every day, and you have the opportunity to brush up on the topics every day, but if you don't go to this invitation letter that you bought with the luck of the rest of your life, it will be too wasteful.
What's more, the fact that Ji Mo joined Lu Shen's project had a great impact on him.
Although I know that I don't need to regard this level of talent as a competitor, but I can't look up and look down. I can see this kid dangling in front of me every day, and I can't ignore his existence at all!
It's not about giving up on yourself.
However, he felt that changing his mood might be better for him...
It's almost the last Saturday of the month.
Duan Siqi, who completed the course tasks one day in advance, got up early, ate some breakfast casually, and went to Jinling Institute for Advanced Study not far from Jinda University.
Although he had heard of this world-renowned academic sanctuary a long time ago, it was the first time for Duan Siqi, an undergraduate student, to come here.
After showing the invitation letter in his hand, the guard on duty quickly took him to the virtual reality experience center.
When he arrived here, he was immediately surprised by the crowds of people in the experience center.
In addition to the 30 experimenters who were arranged to participate in the closed test today, there were more than a dozen researchers, staff responsible for the order of the venue, security guards, etc. standing here.
Originally, he thought that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect that so many people had already arrived.
Looking at the busy experience center, Duan Siqi's expression on his face was a little cramped, he didn't know what to do at this time.
Just when he was thinking about whether to find someone to ask about the situation here, a staff member who looked about 30 or 40 years old and wearing a white coat took the initiative to walk towards him, and looked at him according to the photos on the list. With two eyes, he asked.
"You are Duan Siqi?"
Duan Siqi nodded: "...Yes."
"I'm the person in charge here. The closed beta will start soon. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the equipment first. Come with me."
Duan Siqi: "Okay."
In fact, the method of using the device is very simple, and there are only three steps in total.
Lie on the bed, put on the helmet, press the power button, and then you can enjoy the virtual reality world.
The closed beta will start soon.
Following the instructions of the researchers, he lay flat on the virtual reality device, and Duan Siqi took a deep breath and relaxed all the muscles in his body.
Just when he was wondering whether he would not be able to enter the virtual reality world smoothly because of "can't sleep", the feeling of being lightly bitten by an ant came from the stamina.
Just when he subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch it, his body suddenly sank.
As if the soul had gone out of his body, after a brief period of dullness, his consciousness quickly stepped from one door to another, passed through an endless darkness, and came to a world he had never seen before.
There is a six-lane road at the foot, there is no car on the road, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, it seems to be a certain city, and it is still futuristic.
There are many others standing here besides him.
The closest to him is a beta tester from a foreign country.
I saw this blond young lady who looked a bit like a certain broadcaster on youtube, her eyes were wide-eyed in disbelief.
He admitted that such a scene was a bit... not suitable for children, so he politely looked away.
But having said that, this stuff is too realistic.
Even the appearance in reality can be perfectly restored, he really can't figure out how to do it.
Read the information released in the brain waves?
Or an active mapping of the subconscious guided by suggestion?
Or the helmet itself has a scanning device similar to a camera, which helps them to beautify their characters while registering their information.
Stretching out his hand to touch his cheek, Duan Siqi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
The last time I felt similar emotions was probably at the World Expo in Shanghai.
Forgot which company it was, he only remembered that he was still in primary school, and when he followed his father to a certain exhibition hall, he used a head-mounted remote control device to control the remote control car to gallop on the track with brain waves .
It is difficult for him to describe the impact on himself and the worldview at that time.
And now it's only been a little over ten years, and he felt a similar impact again.
I didn't expect that technology is so advanced now.
"...this is crazy."
...
After a busy day, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the dormitory.
Their work is very simple. Basically, according to their real-life occupations, the on-site staff will assign them some special tasks to be completed in specific scenes.
For example, if he is a college student, there are probably two scenes assigned to him, one is the library and the other is the classroom. So in general, his task today can also be summarized as listening to a mathematics lecture in the classroom and spending a leisurely afternoon in the library.
This experience is really intriguing.
Originally, he came to participate in this closed test because he planned to fish for fish, but he didn't expect to finish the check-in in the library in the end.
The next closed beta is scheduled for next Saturday.
Due to the number of equipment mailboxes, for these local beta testers, the researchers of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study said that they will spread their time to weekends and allocate the time period of continuous testing to beta testers from other places.
It is said that the next test will experience things that have never been experienced in life, and it is quite exciting to think about it carefully.
Recalling and digesting what he had seen and heard during the day, Duan Siqi, who was leaning on the bed and looking at his mobile phone, suddenly sighed with some emotion.
"It's really incredible..."
Although what they tested was a very simple game, what he saw in his eyes was more than just a game.
A series of things that only exist in reality, such as shopping, entertainment, finance, public services, and even education, military affairs, and politics, can all be projected into the virtual reality world in another form.
Now is just the beginning.
As for the future...
Looking at the starry sky outside the window, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Unable to restrain himself, he opened the scarf that he rarely swipe at ordinary times, edited his feelings a little, added the photos he took in the morning, set the virtual reality topic tag, and clicked the send button.
Then he was surprised to find that in just one minute, his number of fans had risen to double digits...
Under the desk lamp, Ji Mo, who was thinking hard on the draft paper, stretched, turned off the desk lamp, and climbed up the bed along the ladder.
Since he joined Academician Lu's project, he has been like this every day for half a month. Every day, either one person talks to himself on the draft paper until late at night, or there is no one in sight all day.
Listening to the snoring sound coming from outside the mosquito net, Duan Siqi also rubbed his brows when he saw that the friends who went to bed last were asleep. He threw his phone aside to charge it, and closed his eyes.
The lights in the dormitory of 201 have been turned off.
Just when the vast majority of people in this city had fallen asleep, Lu Zhou, who was far away in Zhongshan International, was yawning, and finally uploaded his first paper since the opening of the topic—a study on motivation theory.
And almost at the same time, as the first "public sense" closed beta of virtual reality technology came to an end, the whole world was shocked again...
