At 5 p.m. on December 24, just after dark, the lights on the Bund were turned on.

As a well-known tourist destination in S City, many people choose to come here every year to celebrate Christmas Eve.

Some of them are office workers who already work in nearby companies, and many more are travelers who come from afar. This year, unlike previous years, more young and middle-aged people have joined the tourist army here, and they are specially for the three generations of Guoke and "Lifeline VR".

"Hurry up, there's no place for a while." As soon as a group of men and women dressed as students got off the subway, they quickly rushed to the Bund.

Examples like theirs are not uncommon, and almost every shift, in every carriage, there are always one or two people with the same excitement on their faces.

Most of them are the third generation of Guohu, or the peripheral fans of "Lifeline VR". The reason why they are called peripheral fans is because they may not have grabbed the first three generations of Guohu, but they are all fanatical fans of lifeline virtual reality games.

"Hey, we're here, where are you?"

When they arrived at the Bund platform, the tallest boy in the group took out his mobile phone and made a call. Not far away, a middle-aged man who was also holding a mobile phone beckoned to them and shouted into the phone: "Can you see me? ”

The tall boys, taking advantage of their height, crossed the crowd and saw the man standing by the river waving to them. He nodded, hung up the phone, and began to take the people on his side to overcome the obstacles, gradually moving closer to the man.

Although it was only 5:20 a.m., and there were still more than two hours before the start of the event, there was already a human wall about five meters thick in the best viewing position.

The middle-aged man and the people around him occupied a large area by the Bund River, and the tall boy joined them inside and out, and forced through this human wall to squeeze into the prime area with the best view.

"Hello, hello, you're 'twenty-seven or eighteen years old'."

The tall boy had time to greet the middle-aged man at this time, and the other party smiled and said, "Yes, it's me, my name is Liang Fei, are you 'Source Sky'?" ”

"It's okay to call me Li Yuan."

"It's better to call it Source Sky, this name is more familiar."

After Liang Fei said hello, he introduced some people on his side, all of whom were more active IDs on the Lifeline forum, or "Lifeline PC" players who were already in S City.

To say that this group of people are chatting and farting on the Internet, and they are talking about each other so much, they really meet at this time, and it is quite embarrassing for one or two thin-skinned ones.

The funniest are the two people whose ID is called Goudan and whose ID is Li Ergou.

Before the VR version of the lifeline came out, the two had already recognized each other's son and father in the discussion forum on the PC side. As a result, when I went to the scene today, Li Ergou, who claimed to be the father of the dog, was only 16 years old after the New Year, and he was almost kicked into the Huangpu River by the 22-year-old dog.

Jokes like this are endless, and everyone gradually becomes familiar with each other after laughing and making trouble, and they talk about real life from the recent plot of the lifeline, and time passes like a white horse.

At 7:50 p.m., the Bund was overcrowded.

Many tourists who didn't know that there was an event here also stayed to join in the fun when they heard that the recently famous virtual reality game was being held on the Bund today.

That being said, many people don't know what's going to happen later. The official websites of Skyworth and Guoke only said that they would hold an event on the Bund in S City at 8 o'clock, but did not explain the specific process.

Only veteran players like Liang Fei and Li Yuan have a general understanding of the content of the event, and this is the scene where they organized and convened players to occupy a place.

"Don't worry, pay attention to the river later, don't blink." Liang Fei said mysteriously.

River?

There is nothing in the dark, what is there to see?

Everyone looked down suspiciously, and it seemed that there were indeed several speedboats, and the people on them did not know what they were doing, but that was all, nothing unusual.

"Huh? And what about the ferry? ”

Some people noticed that none of the several sightseeing ferries that can be seen on the Bund all year round did not appear tonight, and with this question, there was a sudden glimmer of light on the river. Originally, it was just a little bit in the middle of the river, but gradually, the light became brighter and brighter, and quickly expanded to the entire surface of the river, as if something was about to come out underneath.

The buzz grew louder throughout the Bund, and then the noisy hum turned into screaming exclamations.

A huge gate of light!

A huge door of light rises from the bottom of the water!

The glittering arch was so large that its highest point was almost flush with the Green Mail Building behind the crowd.

The Green Mail Ship Building is 7 floors and 27 meters high, and the distance from the viewing platform to the Huangpu River makes the height of this arch more than 35 meters!

The cars driving all the way to Zhongshan Mountain invariably slowed down, and all of a sudden, the piercing sound of the horn resounded throughout the Bund.

"It's ...... Holographic projection? ”

No one expected that Skyworth would bring them such a big surprise this time. The giant arch in front of me has no substance, and the reason why it glows through is because it is a virtual image made of light.

Only then did Li Yuan know what the speedboats that had stopped on the river from the beginning were for, but they were just ...... What is the principle of Skyworth's hologram? You know, this is not a mirage simulated by the formation of water vapor with the help of fountains, but a real air projection!
