Chapter 2: The Ark

(This chapter is mainly an introduction to the game equipment and the game, as well as the social background of this work.,It's boring.,If you're not interested, you can skip directly to the third chapter!) )

There is nothing peculiar about this black "watch" on the surface, it looks like an ordinary electronic watch on the market, but compared with the screen of an ordinary electronic watch, its screen or the phantom projected by the screen is much larger than the ordinary electronic screen, and at this time, the screen of the black "watch" only shows the three letters OFF, that is, off.

In addition, there are three small buttons and several signal lights of different colors next to the electronic screen.

While this black "watch" looks very ordinary, this gadget has a lot to offer: its abbreviation is called "Ark Connector", and "Ark" is its code name, and it was developed by an amusement game company for five years!

It acts as a bridge between the real world and the virtual world!

Although before this, VR technology can be said to be very mature when applied to games, players can wear game headsets or a variety of sensing devices, so that players can participate in the information processing environment through sight, hearing, smell, touch, as well as shape, gesture or password, so as to obtain an immersive experience!

However, the Ark connector is different from the previous sensing equipment, after the player wears the Ark connector, a special current can be released through the "Ark chip" to stimulate the player's nerves, and the virtual game scene is directly simulated in the brain, and the player can directly send instructions through the brain through this smart chip. (This means that the player's body does not need to move anymore during the game)

The latest research and development of this ark connector by the amusement game company,Once listed,The overall performance evaluation can be said to crush all the previous VR game equipment,The popularity is also extraordinary,The first batch of a total of 100,000 sets is just when the official pre-order time is opened,In less than ten minutes, it has changed from "available for purchase" to "sold out"! So much so that the official can only advance the pre-order time of the second batch of products, which is even more popular than the first real VR game device at the beginning!

The Ark connector is used not only to simplify the otherwise bulky game helmet or other various sensing devices into a black watch, which greatly reduces the player's sense of weight. The two main points are that it can stimulate people's nerves and greatly reduce the fatigue they feel during the game, which means that players can be immersed in the virtual world for a longer time, and this stimulation is basically harmless to the human body.

In the past, this is a huge disadvantage on VR game equipment, and the average person can support 6-8 hours at most, and the additional burden brought by VR equipment will make people feel very tired and tired. Although there is no lack of some liver emperors with strong willpower, the game time will be longer, but because of wearing VR equipment for more than 12 hours, the load on the human body is very, very large, most game production companies on the market, for the sake of the player's body, can only forcibly adjust the upper limit of the daily game time to 12 hours, and then if the player continues to play, he will be forced offline by the system.

And entering the game world through the Ark Connector, this shortcoming will no longer exist! The entertainment company has shown the final test results at the latest product launch event: as long as the player is online for no more than 48 hours in a row, it is basically harmless to the player's body!

However, the amusement company still recommends that players do not play for more than 24 hours normally, after all, moderate games are good for the brain, addiction to games hurts the body, reasonable time arrangement, and healthy life, after all, too much addiction to games will still affect people's normal life!

Another powerful point of the Ark connector is that it is up to more than 95% of the scene simulation!

Absolute realism!

This is the core of VR gaming equipment, and it is also the most difficult problem for researchers in major game companies to crack! In the past, VR sensing devices brought the highest game simulation to players, at most only 80%, which is already the top and most expensive product on the market, and there is no price, basically only in the games of the major top professional leagues!

The simulation degree of VR equipment that ordinary players can buy is generally only about 70%, and you can know why the Ark connector can be sold so hot!

Of course, at the 2030 summer conference of the amusement game company, it is not only the new product of the Ark connector that was released!

Amusement game company, as a new game company in recent years, acquired the supership of the game industry seven years ago - Galaxy Game Company, and became one of the top game companies in China in one fell swoop, and then it took two years to develop the top ten most influential games of our time: "Eternity: The Road of Destiny", and has since become one of the leaders in the global game industry!

After five years, while innovating in terms of technology, the amusement game company has brought a new work that gamers have been looking forward to - "Miracle"!

As a top game company, it is inevitable that the game works it launches can be loved and praised by the majority of gamers, but in addition to the top masterpiece of "Eternity: The Road of Destiny" in the past few years, the amusement game company has only launched some intriguing small works, although there are many high-quality products with high playability, but after all, they are small games with limited directions. Therefore, players often write to the amusement company to complain, hoping that it will launch new works.

The major media and players in the industry have all reported great hopes for the "miracle" of this new game that has not yet been tested by the amusement game company.

In today's best era of innovation and entrepreneurship, technology and human wisdom have collided again and again, VR as a computer simulation technology that can create and experience the virtual world, with continuous controversy, more and more enterprises, governments and consumers have begun to pay attention, "VR is the next outlet" has become the consensus of the industry!

In the 21st century, due to the ultra-rapid development of science, the major problems left over from VR technology have gradually been broken through, and VR games have also become more and more mature to the peak.

In the past five or six years ago, although VR equipment can bring a better sense of game substitution to the game, it can be closer to reality in the virtual world, and meet the higher expectations of players, even so, at that time, it can only be regarded as the pioneering stage of VR, many companies put too much emphasis on short-term promotion and packaging, and ignore product development and technical public relations, so at that time, VR games had a lot of defects both in appearance and content!

But now, VR games have been integrated into human life and become an indispensable part, and the meaning it represents is not just a "game", but can be said to be a miniature version of society, which has been built over the years and has a complete economic system!

As a milestone work in the history of VR games, it has a sense of realism and substitution that surpasses other works on the market in the promotion, as well as the openness of the world, the diversity of gameplay, and so on! As soon as it was opened, countless players were involved in it, and among them, some people who love games or some are interested in VR technology.

However, in the society at that time, science and technology had been applied to every corner of life, which also led to the fact that labor force became less and less important, and many people faced the big problem of unemployment.

So that under the pressure brought by various factors, those people are overwhelmed, and the real world is disappointing, so they have to pin their hopes on VR games, where even if you are a loser struggling on the edge of society in real life, you can turn over in one fell swoop, become a hero, and even if your distant dreams become within reach!

This is different from the early 21st century, when indulging in games was synonymous with abandoning oneself and giving up on oneself.

Nowadays, many people have entered the small society of VR games, and they can already convert their idle time into currency through various channels. Even, in this era, many people have taken games as their main business, game leveling, game studios, which were once scoffed at by people, have now become one of the high-paying professions, and the social treatment of these jobs has also increased by more than one grade!

All in all, it's the age of gaming! It's also the best of times for many!
