1208: Wonderful World

System message prompts for holographic glasses are extremely rare.

It has only appeared twice since it was launched, and if the user is using the glasses, there will only be a dinging voice prompt. You have to wait for the user to switch out before they can read it.

It is precisely because the message is so rare that users will cut it out at the first moment of hearing the prompt, and they can't wait to know the content of the message.

Invitations from the virtual world:

This is a letter that floats in front of the holographic glasses user, when the user grabs the letter with their hand and wants to tear it open.

Only then did they realize that there was no content in the envelope, but turned into a little starlight, illuminating another world in front of them.

A whole new world in the dreamy grassland.

"It's a whole new world. ”

A beautiful voice sounded, and the fantasy grassland world gradually changed into a different shape.

"There's anything you can imagine here. ”

A snow-capped mountain appeared in front of the users' eyes, and on the top of the snow-capped mountain, there was a black dragon hovering endlessly, and when the dragon passed over the users' heads, it was clearly visible that there was a warrior wrapped in golden armor, sitting on the dragon's neck.

"It's a place where you can make any of your dreams come true. ”

The world has changed again and turned into a bustling commercial street.

The skies are filled with sleek sci-fi single-man flying machines, and strange creatures roam the streets with smooth floors like lenses.

There are elves.

There are orcs.

There are goblins.

There are even edgeworth immortals who are three feet above the ground.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

All the users who saw this invitation were gradually blurred in their eyes and their thoughts were gradually drifting.

As the world changes, so does their breathing.

This is......

The real virtual world that countless people have been waiting for for a long time is finally about to open its doors to them?

At this moment, all virtual game lovers are running to tell each other.

Major game companies, major e-commerce platforms, and major Internet companies are urgently holding development meetings related to the virtual world.

In fact, from the moment holographic glasses were first launched on the market, many people have realized what kind of subversive changes holographic glasses will bring to the Internet.

The development of science and technology is inertial and does not depend on human will.

This may sound like a contradiction, but at least in today's technological society, it still applies.

We can't predict what technology will look like in 100 years, but it's easy to predict where it will go in the next 10 years.

This is the inertia of technological development.

And it is not transferred by the will of people, but simply put, it is not transferred by the consciousness of those scientific and technological workers.

It's like Konrad RΓΆntgen's discovery of X-rays, which opened the curtain on the development of nuclear physics.

Marie Curie refined the radioactive substance [radium].

Einstein's theory of relativity, the mass-energy formula, revealed that these radioactive substances contain a huge amount of energy inside.

With this scientific foundation, mankind will inevitably do everything possible to harness this energy. It doesn't matter if it's used to make a nuclear bomb, or it can be used to generate clean energy for the benefit of mankind. Whether scientists want it or not, there is nothing that can change this course of development.

So Behemoth Industries launched holographic glasses and built a simple virtual world on the basis of glasses.

People have realized that the next generation of Internet technology must be a new world based on the virtual world.

There, everything that is virtual and does not exist will be realized.

Fans of virtual games hope to experience the joy of becoming a magician and an immortal there.

The e-commerce platform hopes to make its online store virtual, so that users can directly appreciate the most realistic appearance of this product in the virtual world. Completely dispel those consumers who are persuaded to quit by the situation that "the picture is beautiful, but the goods are terrible after receipt".

Internet companies want to show their strength in the virtual world, a land waiting to be cleared, and let their companies usher in new development opportunities.

The desire and will of these various industries and consumers to come together cannot be reversed even by the giant industry that invented holographic glasses.

If Behemoth Industries is determined not to develop the virtual world.

Of course you can.

But other tech companies will not sit idly by, and will invest astronomical amounts of research into the principles of holographic glasses technology.

If it doesn't work in five years, it will take ten years.

After they develop a similar device, the fruit of the virtual world will fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, the development of the virtual world is inevitable.

The sooner the better.

The virtual world landed three days later.

However, there is a premise here, if users want to fully appreciate the mysteries of the virtual world, they need to have a data terminal.

In these days, hardware is king, and if you want to play a large-scale 3D game, you need a computer with a minimum I5 processor and a graphics card of thousands of yuan. Virtual worlds are a hundred times more complex than game worlds, and there are infinite degrees of freedom.

If users want to enjoy the virtual world, they need to have strong hardware to support it.

Processor frequency: 3.6GHz, boost frequency 5.0GHz.

Ten cores, twenty threads

64G RAM.

20TB of storage and a dedicated graphics card with state-of-the-art image processing.

This graphics card is the core technology, and its process drawings are provided directly by the monster factory, which can perfectly support the image processing work of the virtual world.

At the beginning, the technical drawings of the data terminal had slightly lower hardware requirements than the hardware configuration of the data terminal products finally launched by Behemoth Industry.

The storage space has also been increased from 10 TB to 20 TB. After all, hard drives are now cheaper, giving more storage space, and saving users the trouble of subsequent upgrades.

Therefore, when the hardware information of the data terminal was announced, the first reaction of those knowledgeable electronics enthusiasts was......

"Wow, really?"

"Sixty-two thousand, so cheap?"

"This graphics card data alone is stronger than my four Titan Xp graphics cards, you must know that I spent almost 60,000 yuan on four graphics cards alone. ”

"The data terminal is independently designed with liquid cooling technology, and it drools. ”

"I'm rich, this configuration can kill the server in seconds. ”

"The Yuehong i9 chassis I just assembled, my heart is dripping blood. ”

……

Of course~

Hardware enthusiasts are in the minority after all.

As soon as the virtual terminal worth 62,000 came out, most people were shocked by this price.

Originally, holographic glasses and Yuanshen gloves squeezed out their pockets, and now there is a data terminal that looks very powerful, and they can't afford it if they want to buy it.

Fortunately, the official website of Behemoth Industries gave an announcement on the hardware introduction of the virtual world.

According to the announcement, the role of the data terminal is to allow users to experience a more realistic and delicate virtual world, and experience infinite possibilities and unlimited degrees of freedom.

If there is no data terminal, of course, users can enter the virtual world smoothly, but they will not be able to experience those large-scale scenes.

Like watching movies, shopping, shopping, socializing, and learning, you can also use your mobile phone.

There are only a few users who can consume 60,000 two at once, but no matter how small the number is, it is a huge number in front of the huge Chinese population.

So as of 12 o'clock tonight, 300,000 data terminals have been booked.

At the same time, in the Longxitan factory, these data centers that were placed in the warehouse by the storage robots in order were also taken back by the robots.

In the special data workshop, a cool black diamond-shaped data center made of lightweight aluminum alloy is slowly moving along the roller platform.

Their final point is a "multi-axis incubator" platform, where every data center that arrives is dismantled by a nimble serpentine robot and installed with storage drives in an orderly manner. These storage drives have been solidified in the virtual world client, and users cannot delete or change them in any way.

At this moment, in the Behemoth Industrial Building.

Ji Ke, the general manager of the network department, is leading the technical staff of the department to work overtime to debug the virtual world server.

The virtual world is managed by intelligent AI composed of multiple servers in parallel, and the technical staff of the network department will only have the right to supervise and report, and the highest right to modify will be Ye Qing.

There are still two days left before the virtual world is launched.

Two days later, a new and wonderful world will appear in front of holographic glasses users.
