After a while, Xia Shiyu took off her helmet and sat up from her chair.

After a long time of reflection, she sighed unfinished and spoke.

"If it weren't for the fact that I could call up that exit game menu at any time, I would have thought I had crossed over."

"The first time you experience virtual reality, you really feel like it, and you won't feel it anymore if you play it too much." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

There must be a process to adapt to new things, and Jiang Chen remembered that when he first lay down in the virtual reality training cabin, he was also apprehensive in his heart. But the more times I've used it, I don't really feel anything.

Holding the helmet, Xia Shiyu reached out and gently stroked the streamlined surface, whispering like a dream.

"Although traditional VR equipment can also achieve immersive virtual reality, it is also based on the physical level. For example, I have heard of a device that blocks vision and hearing through a helmet and attaches a sensor element to the hand, but this is the first time I have heard of a device that directly puts the real body into a deep sleep and completely connects the mind with the virtual world. Images and sounds don't need to pass through the retina and eardrums, all the senses only stay at the brain level, and the body is sleeping when playing games is too sci-fi. ”

"Really? Then guess how many players there will be in this "God-level Continent"? Jiang Chen said proudly.

Xia Shiyu shook her head. "I can't estimate how much, but one thing is for sure. As long as the helmet isn't ridiculously expensive, breaking the Guinness World Record for the number of players and concurrent online is no problem. ”

"I think so too." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

After a pause, Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen.

"Do you think VR can only be used in games?"

Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen asked with interest.

"What do you mean?"

"PCs, smartphones and tablets. These electronics simplify people's social activities with just one chat software. can make two people who are tens of thousands of miles apart feel as if they are standing face to face. Putting the helmet aside, Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen. said seriously, "And in this virtual helmet, he can make two people who are tens of thousands of miles apart ignore the distance and 'really' stand face to face." Games aside, this helmet is an epoch-making product in its own right. ”

Jiang Chen was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question, and no one had ever mentioned it to him. After all, when it comes to virtual reality technology, people in the wasteland are much calmer.

"You mean this thing can replace smartphones?" Jiang Chen smiled, "It's unlikely. After all, mobile phones can be used anytime, anywhere, and this thing can only be played at home. And, if I'm not mistaken, VR devices were available two years ago. ”

Its realization of virtual reality technology on this side of the world is not unusual. The penetration rate in China may be very low, but if you look "outside the wall", in fact, this thing is not as sci-fi as imagined.

As a very simple example, CCP's new virtual reality game "EVE: Valkyrie" is sold as "space VR", and this game has started closed beta on January 18, 16. As long as you have purchased the Oculus-Rift-DK2 device, you can log on to the official website and register a simple to participate in the closed beta.

In fact, virtual reality games are not as far away from us as they were a decade ago. A number of console games are experimenting with VR device compatibility.

And the news that "16 years will be the year of virtual reality blowout" is not false at all.

"It's different." Xia Shiyu shook her head, "This difference is like a clamshell phone that can't shake the status of a PC." But smartphones can. ”

After a pause, she looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said seriously.

"And this virtual helmet that you took out. It's similar to the 'smart phone' in VR devices. Replacing smartphones is not realistic, but it is more than enough to pose a threat to its market position. ”

Although I have long been mentally prepared to turn the next page of history. But hearing Xia Shiyu say this sentence in person, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"This virtual helmet is like a key. Bringing people's sleep time to another dimension. With the same lifespan, the time a person 'lives' will be 'alive' by eight hours. Not just games, we can also use virtual reality devices to make online communities, shopping platforms, virtual real estate, and even things that have never been imagined."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Shiyu's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Now, do you know why I'm so excited?"

Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen was also secretly surprised. When he got the virtual headset, he was thinking about using it to play games, but he really didn't think that far. But when Xia Shiyu said this, he suddenly had a feeling of being sudden.

yes, not just games. Socializing, even food, clothing, housing and transportation, if based on the platform of virtual helmets, everything is possible! This virtual reality is like an unmined gold mine, and at this moment, only futuristic technology can touch this gold mine.

"We're going to make history." Jiang Chen said softly.

"That's right!" Xia Shiyu excitedly shook Jiang Chen's hands.

“”

Time stopped for five seconds.

Xia Shiyu slowly let go of his hand, put his fist under his lips and coughed, his eyes drifting to the side.

"Sorry, I was excited"

She pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, but the flush that crept up her cheeks betrayed the panic in her heart.

Jiang Chen was a little dumbfounded, looking at her in a daze.

Sweat. Is this really Xia Shiyu?

No, isn't it time to think about how to react?

Just when the two were in awkwardness, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"There's visitors outside." Looking at the two of them with a smile on her face, Aisha leaned against the door frame and said.

It's too timely to save the scene! Jiang Chen thanked Aisha in his heart.

"I'll go to the door and take a look, you can study the virtual helmet first." Chong Xia Shiyu smiled, Jiang Chen turned around and slipped away from the gym.

Looking at the direction Jiang Chen left in a daze, Xia Shiyu's gaze stopped at Aisha who was standing at the door.

Speaking of which, I haven't spoken to her since I entered the house.

Xia Shiyu squeezed out a smile a little stiffly and greeted her. "Hi"

She didn't know what expression to put on this girl.

Or rivals.

Aisha responded with a friendly smile and whispered, "I've cleaned up the room for you, if there's anything you need help with, you can let me know." ”

Facing this unhostile smile, Xia Shiyu felt a little ashamed of the faint hostility in her heart.

"Don't you hate me?"

Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Aisha tilted her head, "Why do I hate you?" ”

"Like jealousy or something." Xia Shiyu looked away.

She was a little afraid to look directly into the blue eyes.

Aisha, however, only shook her head slightly.

"Aren't you worried that I'll snatch him away?" Xia Shiyu couldn't help but ask.

"Have you finally admitted your feelings?" Aisha asked rhetorically.

Xia Shiyu was stunned, and the blush crawled all the way from the root of her ears to her neck.

But this time she didn't back down, she didn't want to show her emotional weakness in front of her "rival in love".

Seeing that she didn't deny it, a smile appeared on Aisha's cold pretty face.

Walking to Xia Shiyu's side, the girl stood on tiptoe lightly and approached her ear.

"Tonight, I'll give it to you."

Xia Shiyu was stunned at first.

By the time she reacted, her brain crashed straight into the freeze (to be continued. )
