Chapter 2 Virtual Reality

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Yuan Lin's mind was activated, and he waited with all his attention, but the time passed so long, it felt like every second was as far away as a century.

Finally, the light in front of Yuan Lin's eyes flickered again, and an imperceptible visual capture laser was sent out, reflecting in the center of his pupils.

Swish~

The environment is still Yuan Lin's bedroom, with a huge world map and posters of Sister Bao'er hanging on the wall, and a model of SpaceX's Falcon rocket and Iron Man's figure appear in a more prominent position on the bookshelf.

The furnishings of the bedroom are enough to show the owner's interests and hobbies, but at some point, a dialog box that only Yuan Lin can see suddenly appears in the upper right corner of his sight.

Yuan Lin is no stranger to this kind of human-computer interaction interface, and the visual system of some sci-fi war games will automatically display the enemy's distance, identity, blood volume, etc.

The quantum glasses show two avatars, and the system avatar is a virtual girl with a cold expression, presumably it should be some kind of artificial intelligence.

The administrator's avatar is Yuan Lin himself, as well as his mental state, heartbeat, blood pressure, and a series of complex health-related physical indicators at the moment.

Yuan Lin was stunned, he had never understood his body as intuitively as now, the brain development index was 127, the explosive force index was 79, the muscle index was 43, the bone index was 51, and the instantaneous ATP stock was 6339 standard units...

Although Yuan Lin does not understand the specific meaning of these parameters, it seems that it is also a very important job for the system to ensure the physical and mental health of administrators.

Grade: Carbon-based biological level II.

Evaluation: Vulnerable.

"Am I vulnerable?"

Yuan Lin muttered to himself, and at the same time raised his arm and looked at the biceps brachii, which had no sense of existence...

Fortunately, although Yuan Lin is a little thin, his physical indicators are still healthy, youth is capital, and he will get a fitness card in the future.

After gently stroking his chin with his right hand and thinking seriously for a moment, Yuan Lin gave the first command to the system.

"System, please describe your own functions and control logic in the simplest description."

……

Before you know it, the sun has set to the west.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the Jialing River rushing to the east in the distance, Yuan Lin had the illusion of being in a different world.

Who would have thought that quantum glasses would unexpectedly fall from the sky, bringing graviton physics, nanoengineering, transition position frequency proofreading, optical pulse focusing control, starship structural engineering, biological gene condensation research, non-fluid matter cybernetics, etc.

The incomparable power of future science and technology is vividly reflected at this moment, and there is only science and technology that Yuan Lin can't think of, and there is no system that can't provide.

The way to get these future technologies is relatively simple, as long as Yuan Lin selects a branch from the technology tree, the system will automatically simulate.

Depending on the difficulty, the time spent on the simulation of the system varies.

For example, it takes a few hours to research new agricultural artificial daylight source technology to increase the growth rate and yield of crops.

And the time it takes to study the metaphysical topic of women's psychology may probably be, forever...

Of course, Yuan Lin would not be bored enough to study female psychology, after all, he was not a reproductive freak, and he had little interest in responding to the call for fertility.

After careful consideration, Yuan Lin felt that virtual reality technology might be a good starting point.

Even people who are not familiar with the technology circle should have heard of the metaverse to a greater or lesser extent, and the basic technology that realizes the crazy idea of the metaverse is virtual reality, that is, VR technology.

Although many people ridicule the concept of the metaverse as being too advanced and impossible to achieve in a short period of time.

But Yuan Lin clearly remembers that not long ago, when Tesla began to build cars from batteries, and when SpaceX was preparing to recycle rockets, people also mocked Musk in the same contemptuous tone, thinking it was whimsical.

Liu Cixin once said that weakness is never an obstacle to survival, arrogance is.

Today, Tesla's electric vehicles are sweeping the world, and they have reached the point of forcing traditional auto giants to death one by one.

If Huaxia is not fortunate to have a strong battery industry chain, with private enterprises led by BYD, relying on those one, two, three, four, five and six cars, I am afraid the end will not be much better.

As for the rocket, Yuan Lin noticed such a piece of news.

On April 8, 2022, Falcon 9 successfully sent four astronauts to the International Space Station with a rocket first stage booster that had been used five times.

What ordinary people think of may be that the Falcon 9 Ox Fork, the rocket recovery technology is not only used to carry cargo, but now they also dare to carry people, which shows that they have a considerable degree of confidence in their own technology.

And science and technology enthusiasts like Yuan Lin focus on the Dragon spacecraft that the astronauts are riding.

The Dragon spacecraft turned out to be born, indicating that Musk's space program has entered a new stage, and after solving the problem of the rocket, he is ready to take the spaceship problem together.

As we all know, technology is never a single individual, but has a continuity.

After the birth of a technology, it will grow like a big tree, and the next step of the spaceship is the landing of humans on Mars, and the next step of human landing on Mars will be Mars colonization and space hegemony.

Today's problem is not the backwardness of science and technology, but the generational gap, which has been thrown away by a whole generation on the road to space supremacy.

In contrast, the virtual reality space is slightly better, but the competition is just as fierce.

The first is the battle of technical routes, whether to continue to seek breakthroughs in the direction of virtual reality VR, or to concentrate on the slightly less difficult augmented reality technology AR?

Although the technology community is debating this, in the final analysis, the reason is that the level of technology required for virtual reality is too high, and worried scientists will lose their hair, otherwise everyone will not hesitate to choose VR among the two options of VR and AR.

The reason is very simple, because technology is coherent, and the next form of technology evolved by VR technology will be the existence of completely subverting the existing pattern of the world and breaking all artificial barriers, the metaverse!

When Yuan Lin thought of this, his mood suddenly became excited.

He slapped his thigh hard and said: "Whether it is Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, or Tencent, Baidu, and China, the global technology giants are actively preparing for the upcoming battle for control of the metaverse, and there must be a huge opportunity in this, an opportunity that belongs to me!" ”

Knowledge is power, it is wealth.

Yuan Lin feels that he who has mastered quantum glasses and technological simulation systems should be able to get a piece of the virtual reality war.

"If I want to have money, I'll buy a building as a charter office, if I can take the exam again, life is simply not too proud, hahaha." Yuan Lin smiled and bowed his head again and again, his heart full of longing for the future.

But then again, no matter how good the future is, it is not as important as the current task, the time is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and my sister should be out of school in a while.

"Let's go and get Yuan Yue back first, don't let this girl wait."

Thinking of this, Yuan Lin picked up his helmet from the table, rode his small motorcycle out of the door, turned through the tunnel, and drove in the direction of Lu Xun Middle School.

As far as the eye can see, there are very few electric bicycles on the road, except for cars and motorcycles, which is very different from most cities in China.

It's not that the people of Chongqing are outdated, it's that in this mountainous and complex city, fancy looks and environmental gimmicks never matter, only horsepower is king.

Suppose you ride an electric bicycle, according to the law, the maximum horsepower of the electric bicycle cannot exceed 400W, which is a bit of kinetic energy that runs the flat road, and climbs even more to push down, which is completely inconsistent with the living needs of the people in the mountain city.

The reason why Yuan Lin went to pick up his sister was the same reason.

It is less than a kilometer away from Lu Xun's middle school to his home, but he has to cross six roads and a park, carrying a heavy schoolbag, climbing 437 steps, and his exercise index is bursting.

Those animals who envy Chongqing Mei'er's water spirit may not know how painful it is to be kicked by Chongqing Mei'er.
