"Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Li Zhan, and I'm in our electronics lab at Infinity, based on the global network, so that we can have face-to-face communication thousands of miles away."

"Thank you for your support of Infinity and hope that in the next three months, we will all be able to make a pleasant memory." Dr. Lee smiled and opened the sentence to them in pure London-accented English, rather than American-style English that Europeans felt a little rude, immediately winning over these game lovers.

After more than ten years of rapid development of the Internet, optical fiber networks have spread across five continents.

The network management company, established by the world's major network service providers, has become a supra-government organization.

The composition of the management company includes four major network service providers in the United States, five service providers in Europe, Infinity in Asia, two service providers in island countries, and representatives from more than ten countries such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

Of course, it is still the world's 12 network service providers that occupy a dominant position.

If they were united, they would occupy seventy percent of the voting rights.

Other government representatives are simply representing governments and fighting for as many interests as possible for themselves.

However, it seems that the top 12 network service providers are not monolithic, externally, of course, they are united to protect their vested interests, but internally, there is also very fierce competition.

So much so that no one ever suspected that there was an invisible shadow behind them that was secretly manipulating.

In the most developed regions of the Internet, such as the United States, Europe, Asia, and urban residents, the fiber-to-the-home rate has reached more than 60 percent.

The United States even reached ninety percent.

The network transmission rate of each user has also reached an astonishing 10 megabit downlink rate.

In the face of the global billions of network user market, in addition to the annual network construction, maintenance expenditure, and to leave enough profit space for agents below the second level, network service providers still make a lot of money, and they can't stop smiling.

Among the 12 major network service providers, Infinity has the lowest fee, with a monthly subscription fee of only 35 yuan, which even a non-wealthy family can afford to pay.

Anyway, for Chen Weidong, the money he makes from the global market has reached the point where he can't spend it even if he squanders and wastes it at will, so why bother to earn their hard-earned money from the people who are not rich in the first place.

Let domestic users spend a little less extra money, they can spend money where they need it more, and it can be regarded as a small contribution to supporting the country's economic construction.

Now, due to the vigorous development of infinite network construction, the network has become one of the basic tools that people cannot do without in their daily life.

In the eyes of many people, the Internet is almost synonymous with "high-tech".

Therefore, people often publish articles in the media, claiming that the 21st century is a century that belongs to the Internet.

As for what Bill Gates said in 1996, "The 21st century will be a century of biotechnology", people are still confused about such views.

Unintelligible.

It is also Chen Weidong who manipulates them behind the scenes, although the various network service providers are constantly competing, but they do not use shady tricks to calculate their opponents, and there is no so-called "from telecommunications to Netcom, it is the farthest distance in the world".

With the high speed of optical fiber transmission, even if it is connected from Baijing to Paris, London, Berlin and other parts of the world, only the photoelectric conversion of the transit process will bring a delay of one or two seconds, which is not much different from global synchronization.

"You're all great game lovers, and as you can see from the display screen behind me, I haven't taught you how to use the devices yet, but it's great that there are close to 2,000 people who have participated in the test and have connected the devices correctly! I feel like we're going to have a great time together! ”

Isar and the others turned their heads to look at it, and they couldn't help but grin.

"Before we didn't turn on the video signal, friends who have put on virtual video equipment, so we can only see a standby picture from it, now that the video signal is turned on, we rotate the headset down, and we can directly use the virtual video glasses to get familiar with the relevant equipment on the spot."

Dr. Lee's voice was clear and pleasant, like the wind groaning.

Everyone couldn't wait to put on the virtual video glasses.

As soon as Edward put on his glasses, he couldn't help but exclaim, jumped up from the bed, and quickly took them off.

Just now, he found that Dr. Li Zhan, who was talking on the screen, seemed to appear in front of him at once, as if he was facing each other, sitting in front of his bed, although he knew that it was an illusion, he was still frightened, and instinctively jumped up.

"Isn't it incredible? Rest assured, I'm still sitting in the electronics lab of Infinity, thousands of miles away from you, and I don't have the special ability to teleport, it's just that you've been deceived by your own eyes. ”

As Dr. Li teased, a chuckle rang out in the room.

It wasn't just Edward who was surprised, everyone else was just as excited.

"Okay, we have a preliminary understanding of virtual 3D video glasses, let's get familiar with the operation."

As the camera moved, several familiar devices quickly appeared in front of everyone: keyboard, mouse, gamepad, joystick panel.

At the end, there are two more very strange things.

These are two cylindrical objects of soft material, with a groove in the middle that looks like a hand, and a few buttons at the fingertips.

Dr. Li picked up the keyboard and said, "I think these things are very familiar to everyone, so I don't need to say more, and I want to focus on explaining the use of hand-held manipulators for you." ”

He reached out and picked up the two manipulators, their fingers fitting into the groove very naturally.

Dr. Li spoke, "Everyone is an excellent veteran player, and if you look at the posture of my hand-held grip, you can actually guess the usage of this hand-held manipulator." ”

"The left hand is the arrow key, the four fingers correspond to the four directions of up, down, left and right, and the knob of the thumb is used to turn around and adjust the angle."

He changed the handle of his right hand: "Needless to say, this is to control the action, hands, feet, jumping, squatting, lying down, it is also the knob of the thumb, which can be pressed down to control the force." ”

"As an experienced veteran player in video games, you should understand that light hands and light feet are faster, but the blow is less, which is suitable for quick attacks, heavy hands, and the greatest damage to the enemy, but at the same time the reaction is relatively slow, and other things such as jumping, there is also a jump height and distance, which is controlled by the knob pressure of the thumb."

"We designed this control method according to ergonomics, just to make it easier for everyone to play, you don't have to sit all the time, you can also lie on the bed, and save more energy."

In the room, Isar and other game fans scratched their ears and cheeks as they listened, and their hearts itched.

Without waiting for Dr. Lee to finish, they pulled out two manipulators from the cardboard box and inlaid them in their hands.

It's a pity that the main control computer hasn't started yet, although they have installed all the equipment, they still can't try their skills, only look at Dr. Li and continue to explain.

"These control devices, everyone according to their own preferences, adjust the sensitivity at will, okay, see that everyone is already eager for me to disappear quickly, I will give you ten minutes to try the functions of these devices."

Dr. Li got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, and then turned back and added: "On the frame of your glasses, there is a button on the left and right, one is the main control menu of the device, you can reset various buttons to suit your own usage habits, and the other button is used for internal calls, which is equivalent to team calls, if there are any questions, you can ask questions now." ”

Edward was still in a hurry, when he suddenly heard a cacophony of voices, at least thousands of voices shouting in unison.

The loud and chaotic sound made his ears hear only a noisy roar, as if he were in the streets of downtown Paris, and he could not hear anything.

After a while, the sound gradually became less and less, and he faintly heard the voices of other companions in the dormitory from his headphones.

"Edward, you idiot, control panel, adjust control panel! Form a few of us into a guild, and then press twice to block unrelated people from talking! ”

Isar is a self-acquaintance, and everyone here finds Edward to be a rookie, and Isar is very responsible and takes the initiative to take on the role of his game instructor.

In just three or five minutes, thousands of game guilds appeared.

Basically, everyone is based on the dormitory as a unit.,Formed a small guild.,Anyway, it's also a familiar device.,It's not really into the game.,It doesn't matter if you're in multiple guilds.。

Edward worked hard for a while before he found the guild Isar said in the control panel and joined it.

The other sounds in the headphones quickly died down, and only a few people in the same dormitory were left, talking to each other.
