Chapter 154: CES is coming
Meng Qian is not very enthusiastic about Western holidays, but being in the West is inevitableβthe streets are now full of Christmas spirit, with shops selling clothes, Christmas trees, and festive reds like China, and Christmas songs that have been repeated countless times.
"Merry Christmas!" Both Rachel and Alyssa presented gifts to Meng Qian.
"Wow! Thank you, girls! Meng Qian accepted it with a smile and gave it to them according to custom: "Two beauties, Merry Christmas!" β
Then they each opened the gifts, Meng Qian was rich, and the gift was naturally a gift, and the jewelry made the woman's eyes glow, and she couldn't wait to wear it and try it; And they give more practical, men's perfumes, ties, and even a hot photo album of Alyssa.
"I received the best gift ever." Alyssa touched the necklace around her neck, and her red lips kissed him on the face: "Thank you!" β
"Thank you too." Meng Qian gestured for her gift.
"I hope you like it." Alyssa smiled.
"I love it!" Rachel showed off her watch and came over to kiss him: "Love you!" Baby! β
Meng Qian put his arm around Rachel and let him sit on his lap, and then asked, "So girls, what are your plans for this Christmas until next year?" β
"A different style, huh?" Alyssa said, "Enough of L.A., we can go...... Skiing? β
"Colorado!" Rachel liked it too, looking at him, "How about we go skiing in Colorado?" There is the largest ski resort and you can also drive snowmobiles! β
"Cool!" Meng Qian also wanted to change the taste.
So they packed their bags, and the private jet was very capricious and said to go. A few hours later, it landed in Colorado, in the central part of the United States. Near a small town called "Vail", the local population is not large. But when it comes to skiing, there is a steady stream of tourists every year.
It was minus ten degrees outside. Meng Qian put on a thick ski suit, sunglasses, ski gear on his back, and went up the mountain by cable car - it wasn't until the snow-capped peaks appeared in front of him that Meng Qian remembered that he was a southerner: "Can a novice handle it?" β
"Rest assured, there are slopes of different levels of difficulty, and we can all choose beginners." Alyssa's answer was also a little exposed, and her strength was half a pound or two.
"I've played it a few times, and I'll have some." Rachel laughed. The only one that showed his face was flushed red.
"Then I'll be relieved." Meng Qian officially stepped on the snow.
"I'll teach you!" Rachel, who is probably the strongest of the three, has taken on the role of a teacher, and there are many people around him who are practicing.
"It's pretty easy to be an amateur." Rachel told them, "Once you've mastered sliding, braking, and turning, you'll be able to play in the beginner's area." β
"Challenge accepted." Meng Qian said.
After practicing with Rachel for half an hour, he began to play freely, and the slope of the novice area was very flat and spacious, even if he fell to the bottom, it didn't hurt - after playing, he couldn't feel the passage of time, and Meng Qian was not afraid of making a fool of himself. Anyway, it's enough for a novice, just make yourself happy.
However, he is still a fast learner, and has mastered the skills of braking inside, and he is proud of rushing down. Behind him exclaimed: "No, no, no, get out of the way!" David! β
"Ahh Before Meng Qian could react, he shoveled down Alyssa, who also had three-legged cat kung fu. Rachel on the heel side of the forehead.
"I'm sorry!" Alyssa said.
"I almost finished the track!" Meng Qian didn't accept that she had to apologize.
"I'm so sorry!" Alishara said in a long voice, and Meng Qian saw a sly smile flash on her face. Seeing her hand hidden behind her back again, my heart is not good!
"Happy New Year!" Alyssa snowballed at him.
Snowballs smashing people is not painful. But the scattered snow flew down the neckline of his garment, and was melted by the body heatβit was sour! Meng Qian screamed from the cold, quickly grabbed the snow on the ground and kneaded it into a ball, and fought back against Alyssa, who had just gotten up and fell down again.
"Snowball fight time!" Meng Qian jumped up, and the snowball attacked indiscriminately.
Rachel also got interested, kicked off her skis, ducked to the side and began to accumulate ammunition - snowball fights!
The big trouble of the three people even affected others, attracting more people to join the game, the scene became chaotic, snowballs flew, and finally Meng Qian couldn't find the target at all, and kept getting hit, and then fled in disgrace, and the three embarrassed people fell to the ground and laughed.
"Whew!" Meng Qian gasped, "Not a bad day!" β
Alyssa smiled: "We can also do personality. Sense of the night! β
Rachel cheered, "Yay! β
Alyssa is right, because the resort hotel at night specializes in providing hot bath services, three or four people can soak in a pool, the water mist rises, and then look at the hot girls open next to her, hugging them, eating snacks and drinking red wine...... Winner in life!
After a wonderful holiday in Colorado, return for the New Year.
On the plane, I listened to Meng Qian's "love-hate relationship" story about the VR company for a while, and the two girls also became his die-hard fans: "We support it on the spot!" β
"Those bastards will regret it!" Alyssa clenched her fists.
"Thank you!" Meng Qian smiled.
This year's CES show has kicked off in Las Vegas.
CES stands for: International Consumer Electronics Show. It is the world's largest and most influential consumer electronics exhibition, attracting nearly 200,000 people at this time of year, and each time the casino is crowded and the hotels are full.
Even a city like Las Vegas, where hotels are hotels, can't withstand such a huge flow of visitors; Even Meng Qian's private jet encountered the problem of not being able to find a parking spot. Now McCarran Airport, there are no seats for business jets, all of them are full!
But in the end, his private jet was able to land on time.
That's because the Stone family owns a private, airline airport north of Las Vegas. It has become the royal airport of Stone Hotel Group, with more than 40 private jets parked, ranging from the massive Boeing 747 to a Cessna that can accommodate several people.
After the plane landed, they were taken away by the hotel's VIP shuttle.
The hotel is already full, but with a friend like the gambling king, there is never a shortage of rooms - a top suite at the Venetian is reserved.
Settle in. Meng Qian changed into a light suit, and the weather in the casino was relatively warm. The two girls should also be beautiful and not warm, and dress up beautifully to accompany him.
VR companies participated in the show with a high profile this year. They invested heavily to get a spacious booth, and when they followed the map to find the location of the VR company, it was all people - almost three floors inside and three floors outside! The popularity was a bit unexpected.
"So fierce?" Meng Qian tiptoed to look.
It stands to reason that VR in digital equipment is a niche in CES, and the show focuses more on technologies such as automobiles, mobile phones, and digital home appliances. However, I felt the bustle in the front row in the VR company area.
It seems that people are very concerned about the "bold ambitions" of VR companies.
The company also attaches great importance to this exhibition, CEO Yuan Yubo was present in person, and the low-key chairman was also beautiful. Blessed to stand in the middle of the two beauties, wrapping her arms around Rachel's waist and holding Alyssa's arms - all three of them were focused on the stage, the first to experience it.
The host specially introduced the middle-aged man in his forties who wore glasses, and was the guy who dared to face and was going to conduct a side-by-side evaluation of today's major brands of VR equipment. Kulin. A well-known digital product reviewer with a spicy point of view and many fans.
Can VR companies move back?
They exhibited very lightweight VR glasses concepts, peripheral interactive devices, and concept cockpit VR, but mainly focused on VR glasses.
After some introduction. John. Cullin sat down and began to experience.
The first experience is a roller coaster, which was created by Holographic Entertainment. The biggest feature is that it is based on intelligent computing, and the loop is infinite and non-repetitive. Everyone who has experienced it, including Meng Qian, has had the experience of falling. Very realistic.
Now the technician has arranged a backless induction chair for him, and no one reminds or supports him, completely with an attitude of watching a play. The long guns and short cannons at the scene were set up one after another, and there were even live broadcasts by the media, so that countless concerned netizens on the Internet could see the first-hand results.
At the same time, the game content is also displayed on the big screen for everyone to enjoy.
The extreme graphics and surround three-dimensional sound effects completely isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Kulin was so concentrating that he couldn't tell if it was 4K or 8K in the ultra-high-resolution footage, and he watched the roller coaster climb to the top little by little, and realized that he might be wrong!
But before I had time to think about it, there was no track in sight ahead - the next second, it fell suddenly, whether it was a visual acceleration or a fart. The gravity sensing chair under the thighs, the screen falling and the body sinking suddenly, made him cry out in shame five seconds after the opening game.
"Ahh
The audience was dumbfounded, and then burst into laughter!
It's a pity that John. Kulin couldn't hear or feel the outside world, and all he heard was the screeching sound of roller coasters and tracks rubbing against each other, as if a little unstable? In front of you is the accelerated and blurred world - the roller coaster G value in the virtual world, with a maximum of 9 Gs!
Although such a high centrifugal force could not be created on the spot, the combination of the picture and the induction was enough for Kulin to drink a pot. What's more, it's endless, and it's more thrilling every time β and the audience watching the big screen outside the stadium cries out from time to time.
After holding on for two minutes, Kulin managed to fall.
The media camera recorded the scene: the staff helped Kulin untie the device, revealing his dazed and frightened eyes, sitting on the ground and still a little unable to find his way.
The sound of the camera clicking keeps ringing.
This undoubtedly sends a signal that the technology is outstanding.
Everyone, including the scoffing side, realized that VR companies may not really be bragging about it, and that this ahead of its time may have already been realized.
The staff asked Coolin again: "Sir, do you want to experience the second scene?" But we have a warning, the second is a horror game scenario, it is recommended that those with a bad heart or under the age of 18 do not try it lightly! β
Cullin already understood that he was wrong, but his unwillingness or professionalism required him to keep his promise, so he nodded: "I want to experience it." β
Once again, the combination of VR and horror games is far more intimidating than looking at a flat-screen monitor, and the scene can be as realistic as it is with high immersion and rendering!
The result: Coolin hurriedly quit halfway through, not daring to play any more!
Meng Qian smiled, in fact, the company still cheated: they let the unannounced artificial intelligence participate in the rendering of the picture and the environment.
However, this scene once again aroused the audience's interest.
More and more people are watching - the VR exhibition area of other companies is no longer full of visitors; The topics that began to explode on the Internet also revolved around VR companies. (To be continued.) )
