Chapter 049: Enter the game
At 12:55 p.m. on September 6, the much-anticipated SAO open beta officially began.
Originally, the public beta of this game was only for gamers and scientific researchers in related industries to pay attention, but because of a series of events a few days ago, as well as media hype, most ordinary people also know what this so-called SAO is.
Then, this kind of game that completely dives a person's consciousness into the virtual world, allows the machine to simulate all the human senses, and then allows humans to experience a real other world, naturally caused a sensation.
There are many propositions and discussions, but as the time approaches, the vast majority of people are beginning to look forward to the real effect of SAO.
At 12:55, Akihiko Kayaba, the designer of the game, will log in to the game in advance in order to prove the safety of the game to everyone, and show the style of the game through the live broadcast.
Right now, what is being broadcast live on TV is the footage of Akihiko Kayaba bringing NERvGEAR and preparing to enter the game world.
"Okay, Dr. Kayaba will be the first to land in the game, and now he uses the technology of first-person live broadcast, and we will connect the screen to Dr. Kayaba's field of vision in a while, and wait for Dr. Kayaba to confirm the safety of the game, it will be open to official players, please be anxious players."
A female reporter who was allowed to enter Akihiko Kayaba's rest room was standing not far from Akihiko Kayaba's bedside and said, "The anchor informed me that the screen will be accessed soon, please look forward to it." ”
At this moment, Akihiko Chewba began to access the game, and the three indicators on the NERvGEAR "POW, WAN, BLK" lit up one after another, and then the screen turned, and countless colored beams of light flew straight in front of him.
Game on!
Tough--OK!
Sight--OK!
Hearing--OK!
Taste--OK!
Smell--OK!
Five colored discs representing the five senses appeared, each representing one of the five senses of the human body that had been intercepted by NERvGEAR and input a digital analog signal.
Language→Japanese
On the language selection screen, of course, you select Japanese, and then you can create your character. Character creation is based on scanning the original character appearance, providing optimization and deterioration services, and of course, it can also be completely recreated.
Here, Akihiko Kayaba chose to increase the age of his face by 20 years, and immediately his character image changed to a somewhat dignified middle-aged man. Then, Akihiko Kayaba gave her character a name that no one thought of.
Heathcliff!
This name is exactly the name that the other party said in the rumors of the killing game, and Akihiko Kayaba used when he pretended to be a player to tease the rest of the players. And now, Akihiko Kayaba still chose this name.
Everyone immediately came back to their senses, this is most likely Kayaba Jinghiko is provoking those hacking enemies, many people grinned, thinking that they deserve to be scientists, and their temper is big!
WelcometoSwordArtOnline!
The final welcome speech appeared on the screen, and countless streamers symbolizing the deep dive of consciousness came to the face, and the player's consciousness continued to penetrate into the game, into the virtual world simulated by numbers!
Kayaba Akihiko opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was a little blurry at first, after all, the brain now receives digital signals, and the information is different from the signals that he usually receives with his five senses.
However, the brain is so adaptable that after only a few seconds, the brain adapts to this new signal pattern and everything in front of it becomes clear.
Kayaba raised his hand, waved his arm, and curled his fingers as if controlling his body. But all these scenes, all these structures, in front of him, will never appear anywhere on earth.
It is a square, located in the very center of Torbana, the street of the beginning, and is surrounded by walls on all sides, with only one way out, and from the way out, it is a completely different view.
"As you can see, this is the world I created, the world of SAO."
Kayaba Akihiko spoke, and there was only one line, because there was really no need to say anything.
Akihiko Kayaba made an upward gesture, and the technician understood, and the field of view of the live broadcast was no longer the first person of Akihiko Kayaba, but became like an aerial shot, the lens became higher and higher, and the entire square, the entire Torbana, and the entire floating city of Ayn Grant gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There is no need to explain.
It's a virtual world, but it's also a real world.
It only exists in virtual data and cold servers, but Akihiko Kayaba has built a bridge through NERvGEAR, allowing real-world people to have a real experience in a virtual game.
The dividing line between the real and the virtual has gradually blurred.
There is no need to explain, even for those who don't understand all this, the heart boils when they see Akihiko Kayaba playing freely in this vast and imaginative world.
The camera returns to Akihiko Kayaba, who clicks in front of him, clicks on the control menu, drags it to the bottom, and four buttons appear on the right side, with the "Log Out" button at the bottom.
"My world is like this, whether it is a killing game or not, I believe you have your own judgment."
After speaking, Kayaba Jinghiko clicked the logout button, the whole person disappeared into pieces, and the picture on the TV turned, and Kayaba Jinghiko, who was lying on the bed, sat up, took off his helmet, and waved his hand to the camera.
"It's out, Dr. Kizuhiko Kayaba has successfully logged out of the game, and there is no abnormality at all. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no problem, Dr. Kayaba Jinghiko is such a genius person, dedicated to scientific research, how could he do such a horrible thing? ”
"Besides, this time it is controlled and guaranteed by our Japanese government, so what do you have to doubt? Dr. Kiyohiko Kayaba, how do you feel about being the first player to log in to the game? ”
Akihiko Kayaba smiled rarely, and said, "Actually, maybe I should thank those who spread rumors. ”
"This ...... How should we understand this statement? ”
"Otherwise, as a game developer, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience the game as a player anyway, but now that I'm a player of Heathcliff, I'm going to keep playing. If any player wants to challenge me, they can come to me. ”
After saying that, Kayaba Jinghiko no longer paid attention to the reporter, and even put on the helmet again, and said: "As a developer who knows all the information, I'm going to grab resources, who made you have to let me prove the safety of the game, and when I become the first player of the game, don't blame me!" ”
"Haha, Dr. Kizuhiko Kayaba is so funny!" The reporter also seems to know the game very well, and said: "It seems that Dr. Akihiko Kayaba has no sleep at heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to create this kind of game." As for Dr. Kayaba, all SAO players don't have to worry, Dr. Kayaba probably doesn't have much time to play games, so don't worry that Dr. Kayaba will surpass you. ”
"However, players who are interested in being the first person in the game should log in quickly, otherwise the first game quest may be taken by the mischievous Dr. Akihiko Kayaba!"
The reporter's mischievous tone made many people laugh, but this kind of words made a deep player like Kiritani Kazuto impatient, at this time Kiritani Kazuto had hurriedly put on his helmet, hating himself for not believing in his idol Akihiko Kayaba!
After Kirito landed in the game, he was surprised to find that his speed was still very fast, and he was the second person to log in to the game, and not far from him, it turned out to be Akihiko Kayaba's game character Hizcliff!
"Dr. Akihiko Kayaba!"
With the excitement of meeting the idol, Kirito ran towards Kayaba Akihiko, but in the next second, countless players swiped out between the two, and Kirito collided with a player.
When he stood up and apologized, he found that Akihiko Kayaba had disappeared.
……
"Brother, more than 6,000 people have logged into the game, and now everything is normal in the game, and the login function can also be used."
Yui reports the situation, but you don't need Yui to report back, just look at the dense crowd in the square, and whether someone is trying to log out of the function, you can see that Akihiko Kayaba's publicity has been successful.
"So, let's get started, too. Mai Trin, wait for my signal, although Yui can't use divine powers, it should be no problem to communicate with you through the Internet. ”
"After we go in, we will collect all the information with Yui first, and when we basically confirm the location of the control core, we will connect your settlement power, and then we will seize the management authority in one fell swoop."
Mikoto Misaka nodded solemnly and said, "Leave it to me!" ”
Don and Asuna didn't say much, but put on their helmets and began to connect. Asuna connected almost instantly, her body calmed down as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, while Don seemed to be in trouble connecting.
"Hee, what's going on?"
"No problem, please don't worry. The amount of consciousness information of the contractor Tang En is far greater than that of others, so it takes a long time for the deep dive of consciousness to load, which is a normal phenomenon? ”
"Is that explosive 999 spiritual power a mess? Asuna is also 999, and Don is off the charts, the two of them are so different? Two open guys, damn it! ”
Mikoto Misaka didn't know why, so she didn't ask much. However, she didn't know that at this moment, the entire SAO quantum server suddenly entered a state of full load, and all players had a poor network, and many players were unable to log in to the game during this period.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes, and many people just thought it was a temporary network fluctuation. But no one knew that it was the entire SAO server that almost collapsed in order to load Donn's consciousness.
There was also chaos within ARGUS for a while, especially in the absence of the backbone Akihiko Kayaba, and the government technicians who had just taken over were obviously in awe and cautious about something like quantum computers that was beyond their common sense.
So, Rinko Kamiyo looked disdainful, and while she was uneasy about the strange phenomenon just now, she pointed to the technicians who were in a hurry.
