Chapter 471: Arena Mode
Depending on the consumer and tax rates of each country, the pricing of the VR experience varies. For example, the price of Internet cafes in China is 6 yuan an hour, while in the United States it is almost 2 dollars, and in Europe it is basically 2 euros. Half of the fees collected go to the Internet café, and the other half goes to Future Technology. After 2 months, the helmet can also be purchased at a price of $2,000 by an Internet café without having to share the revenue with Mirage Technology.
All players' accounts are linked to iris information and can be bound to future 1.0 accounts.
In order for everyone to be able to play the game, there is also a clear limit on the experience time of each person. That is, each person can only play for a maximum of 2 hours at a time, and can only log in once within 72 hours. Depending on the idle rate of helmets, this time limit will be gradually relaxed.
But that last one is obviously redundant.
Twenty-four hours after 21 large Internet cafes in Wanghai City took the lead in launching virtual reality experience services, the Internet has exploded. Many stickers, BBS, and scarves have been swiped by the keyword "phantom", and players who are fortunate enough to experience it first have expressed their shock in their hearts with words.
"It's an immersive virtual headset! The rumors were true!
"It's incredible, I can't imagine that my body doesn't have any movement...... It's hard to describe, it's like you've traveled to another world!"
"Don't call it the Future People Group, it's more appropriate to call it the Black Technology Group, and give a thumbs up if you support the name change!"
"HoloLens from abroad, only played for two days, sold at half price, if you want to buy it as soon as possible, contact information is here......"
“……”
Words alone are no longer enough to describe the excitement of the players.
However, it's not just the players. Even the scientific community is shocked by the achievements of future human science and technology.
Even the Nobel Committee has sent an email to Mirage Technology, asking the person who has overcome the technical difficulties in the development of the "Phantom" helmet about the exchange of neural and electrical signals, hoping to nominate him as a candidate for the next Nobel Prize.
It's just that when Xia Shiyu asked Jiang Chen for this person's name, Jiang Chen rejected the Nobel Prize sent to the door with a heavy heart. Even if he says that he developed it himself, I'm afraid no one will believe it. With his style of life and personal experience. It is completely out of step with rigorous scientists.
This technology is destined to not be listed on the Nobel Prize.
No matter how shocked the players and the scientific community are.
In the anticipation of many players for the virtual reality, Futureman Technology has finally opened the tip of the iceberg of "God-level Continent" - the arena experience project.
Although it is an experience, it is actually a closed beta test in a broad sense.
All experience players will be placed in the experience server, and although they will not be able to enjoy the full game content, they will be able to experience the arena mode that has not yet been played by closed beta players, and enjoy a fast-paced game (PK) experience.
In the Arena, players are limited to level 10 and choose their own class. After the game starts. Players can use system coins to buy equipment from the Arena Merchant, and then participate in the Arena battles, that is, PK with other players.
Choose from a single or group of 12 terrains to choose from.
All are newbies, and there are no advantages or disadvantages. However, when you first enter the game, there will be a period of beginner teaching. To a certain extent, the data in this arena will affect the class balance on the day the game is officially launched.
On the other hand. The arena has also given players enough of the addiction of throwing fireballs, presumably until the game is officially launched. Players who are prepared should not rush to choose the master.
But it's also funny to say that many relatively peaceful players, after entering the game, actually choose to discuss with the opposite side whether to start fighting, but walk around the map, and actually regard the arena as a tourist attraction.
After some mages had played with the fireballs again, they actually used their staff to pry up the mud on the ground. As for those who deliberately choose a character of the opposite sex. Then check if you have any players who have that thing...... According to the laws of the country, it is natural that the harmonious content will be treated harmoniously. If you really want to play H games, after the helmet is released, follow the online tutorial and hang up the VPN of the new country to play.
But strictly speaking. The "Phantom" helmet does not provide audio images, and all the scenes unfold directly at the brain level, which belongs to the category of "daydreaming" in terms of mechanism. Therefore, it is still debatable whether virtual reality content can be applied to today's regulations on the management of film, television and game works, after all, it is still a bit too much to use the law to restrict the content that people dream of.
Of course, the main theme of the arena is still combat.
But in addition, what also shocked players was the real-time translation feature introduced by Futures Technology in the game.
Players from all over the world are in the same server, but they can communicate with each other without any hindrance. The instant translation of subtitles can help players translate the words of the opposing players into the 12 common languages.
Containing so many functions against the sky, for a while, the future technology has once again become the focus of heated discussions among the public and the media.
For example, on an American TV talk show, the host and Gates had a discussion about future technology.
"I heard that a virtual reality device called the 'Phantom' helmet came out recently, Gates, have you played it?"
"Of course, on the day of the release, I went to a nearby Internet café and squatted, huh...... Then I finally played it yesterday. As he spoke, Gates made a helpless expression, and the audience erupted in sympathetic laughter.
He is no longer the CEO of Microsoft, but only participates in the show as the founder and shareholder of Microsoft.
The moderator smiled as well, and then continued to ask.
"If something like this is officially put on the shelves one day in the future, and you buy it the day after it goes on sale, aren't you afraid that the kind of plot in film and television works will happen after putting on a helmet?
That's a good question. My answer is......" Gates lowered his voice in a vague manner, and then laughed out loud, "I have to play if I don't come back." ”
A look of surprise appeared on the presenter's face.
"As the founder of Microsoft, you are so ...... Well, is it really good to be so optimistic about the products of competitors?"
"I'm bullish on the virtual reality itself. I'll admit that after experiencing the Phantom helmet, I was really blown away by the realism. But I would say that the HoloLens system that we at Microsoft has also has its own uniqueness. For example, we promote the idea of allowing users to interact with something that exists virtually in the real world, rather than moving further and further away from reality. ”
"In other words, are the focus directions of Microsoft and Future Technology different?" the host asked with a smile.
"Yes, you can understand it that way. Gates said, tilting his legs back in his chair.
"Which one do you think is more in line with the times, HoloLens or Phantom?" the host asked a pointed, malicious question.
The audience watched attentively, but Gates fell into a small embarrassment.
His expression changed for a few seconds, and he coughed, giving a vague reply in an affirmative voice.
“…… All I can say is that both have their advantages. ”
Just when Gates was struggling with how to deal with the host's difficulties, a certain research institute also had a problem with the "Phantom" helmet.
At the moment, inside a certain national research institute.
Director Qian, whose face was as heavy as water, looked at the researcher who was walking towards him and asked in a deep voice.
"Xiao Wu, how is it?
I saw that the researcher named Xiao Wu sighed and shook his head.
"The X-ray scan didn't work, and FutureTech was cunning enough to put a lead compartment in the helmet. ”
"What about disassembly?" Director Qian immediately asked.
The smile on Xiao Wu's face was even more bitter.
"We had just gone under the knife to study the structure inside, and the protection mechanism was immediately triggered, and all the circuits were burned into a pulp. The only thing that is certain is that the material they used was most likely the legendary graphene chip. Because when the shell is taken apart, those things are burned to carbon dioxide very completely. As for the key neural access device, it is the hardest hit area, and the molybdenum material is completely melted into a ......"
"Can't you recover?" In addition to the pain in the flesh, Director Qian couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Wu shook his head.
"The damage is too great. ”
When he thought of the person surnamed Wang in Wanghai City, Director Qian was angry for a while. Although his official is not as big as the one surnamed Wang, he still can't stop the contempt for him in his heart.
"What a fucking loser. Scolding, Director Qian shook his head, sighed and walked out the door.
He now needs to ask the above for instructions to see if he can make contact with the future people group. It would be great to work together on virtual reality technology.
Although he also knows that there are probably many difficulties involved...... (To be continued.) )
