Since Su Mu had mainly focused on firearms training and had no time to focus on piloting skills, he had never been exposed to this kind of simulation pod. Both of them were exposed to this novelty for the first time.

"I've heard those old students say that this thing is very exciting, and today I can finally experience it for myself." After speaking, Su Mu entered the cabin through the sliding open hatch.

Ye Yuxuan poked his head out and looked at the interior of this huge white metal ball - the entire simulation cabin was divided into two layers, the outer layer was a fixed spherical metal shell, and the inner layer was a spherical rotor nested on the inner surface of the shell. The lower part is a solid hemispherical permanent magnet, and the upper surface is covered by a layer of material that shields the magnetic field. The magnet acts with the electromagnet on the base, maintains zero friction with the inner surface of the housing, and suspends the inner structure in mid-air a few centimeters above the ground.

The upper part of the rotor is a hollowed-out hemispherical metal frame, with a cabin in the center of the circle, and the structure and interior are basically the same as that of a normal car. Around the cabin and overhead, there are also instruments for air supply and sprinkling.

As you can imagine, when the simulation program is started, the entire rotor will rotate with it, and even the weather conditions can be fully simulated.

Ye Yuxuan didn't say a word, and sat in the driver's seat of the physical cockpit, trying to make this thing start.

At this time, the noisy bootloader popped up again: "Hey, didn't you see that it says you need to connect the implantable lens to use it?" Connect in and I'll take care of everything for you. ”

Ye Yuxuan: "......"

When Ye Yuxuan entered the identification code and successfully connected the crystal to this device, the implantable crystal quickly completed a series of settings under its control, as the bootloader said.

A few seconds later, as a twisted ripple spread from the center of the circle where Ye Yuxuan was located, the simulation cabin in front of him had changed drastically.

The original brand-new metal frame in the carriage has now been replaced with a body that looks baptized by the years and has a sense of age; The simulator equipment outside the cabin disappeared, and the originally transparent glass windows lit up and turned into a display screen, showing the scenery "outside the window"; The instrument cluster lit up in turn, and as the engine started, he could visibly feel the slight shaking of the seat.

All of this, after being processed by the crystal, feels incredibly real when it is transmitted to the user.

Mediating reality? This word flashed in Ye Yuxuan's mind.

The scene in front of you is clearly the result of the crystal's combination of virtual images and actual objects, but this is slightly different from augmented reality.

Augmented reality emphasizes naked-eye reality, while mediated reality is digital reality. In other words, the crystal does not directly transmit the real image to Ye Yuxuan's visual center, but combines the seen picture with the virtual image that needs to be displayed after digitization to present a special effect. The most obvious is that the sense of disobedience is greatly reduced.

Through this technology, the academy is able to ensure that the virtual scene is perfectly reproduced, and at the same time, the user needs to make actual physical actions to operate.

For example, if you want to do driving training now, then, Ye Zi sees the steering wheel in the image, and he needs to really reach out and hold the steering wheel. Thanks to the real-world layout, he can hold the actual simulator steering wheel controller and control the programmed car to steer.

To put it bluntly, this is just a little processing on the picture seen by the naked eye, and there is no need to directly cut off the connection between the brain and the body to achieve the effect of controlling the virtual body like a dream link.

Ye Yuxuan looked out the window through the "car window" - this is a large parking lot, and many cars are parked around.

He could even see the drivers of the cars, no doubt the trainees from the other simulators, in the form of digital models, of course.

From the parking lot, you can see many skyscrapers in the background, and a little closer to the bustling shopping street, where some figures walk through.

The setting here is supposed to be a surface parking lot in the commercial area of a city. The nearby roads are interspersed with roads, but many have been barricaded, leaving only an open road, which is clearly the track that needs to be trained.

At this time, a car drove over and stopped next to Ye Yuxuan.

Ye Zi looked at it fixedly, only to find that it was actually Su Mu...... To be precise, it was the modeled Su Mu - he didn't dare to recognize it at first glance, and the whole person looked as if he had jumped out of CG......

"I didn't expect this thing to be directly connected when it came up, and it connected so many people at once. If you look around, it's full of other students. I didn't leave a guide or anything, so I didn't know what to do. Su Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the edge of the parking lot, where there was a faintly glowing band of light, and all the students who tried to get out were stopped by the band of light.

If you just stay in the car and watch the sunset, spinning around in the parking lot, it's really boring, but looking at it like this, it shouldn't have officially started yet - that light band will obviously disappear, but I don't know what will happen after it disappears, and how so many people can train together.

Suddenly, a "number of people up to the mark" prompt appeared in front of everyone's eyes, along with a countdown of "3, 2, 1" and a short line of instructions: "Drive away, dodge the attack, and reach the end." ”

Ye Yuxuan and Su Mu were confused, what kind of strange gameplay is this, isn't it good driving simulation training?

"Boom!" A loud bang came from behind, and everyone looked behind them in unison - either through the rearview mirror or with their heads poked out of the window. But without exception, they were all shocked by the sight before them: the earth was evaporating, a dazzling white ball of light rising from the horizon and spreading in all directions, everything in their path was destroyed, and it seemed that the momentum of the advance was not abated in the slightest.

At the same time, the band of light that had been besieging everyone slowly disappeared, and the entrance to the track was presented in front of everyone.

"it, come up and play big!" Su Mu hurriedly changed gears, released the handbrake he had just pulled, and prepared to start running.

However, Ye Yuxuan was faster than him, and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator: "There's no time to sleep, let's run." ”

Although I know that this is only a virtual image, this image is indeed incomparably powerful. Besides, the original purpose of coming here is training, and the system has already said so, so if you don't do it, won't you still be able to paddle?

The panicked freshmen were in a mess, and due to the difference in the synchronization rate of crystal memories, some of them were able to easily control the basic driving maneuvers, and quickly drove out of the parking lot to start the escape journey. And some people, even if they have the corresponding knowledge stored in the crystal, they can't reproduce it well. The roadmen collided in twos and threes, and nearly blocked the road.

Ye Yuxuan and Su Mu rushed between the intersection being completely blocked, and accelerated and rushed onto the track. Accelerating to 100 km/h in a parking lot is really exciting to think about.

And this is just the prelude to this unique escape journey.
