Chapter 653: Something Goes Wrong with the Brain-Computer Interface
The "Five-Dimensional Space" Internet Café is a newly opened small Internet café located on Minsheng Road.
It is close to a technical school, and the flow of people is usually good.
On the weekend, Zhou Xiaodong was at the checkout counter of the Internet café, bragging and chatting with the female front desk Fangfang.
This Internet café was opened by him in partnership with a few friends, and he did not invest much, only 500,000 yuan, accounting for 5 percent of the shares. But it was this 500,000 yuan, and he thought of many ways to get it by borrowing money and loans everywhere.
There is no way, his sister's side seems to be iron-hearted this time, but she refuses to lend him a penny, so Zhou Xiaodong has to think of some crooked ways and find some online loans to make up for the 500,000 yuan.
"Five-dimensional space" is a brain-computer Internet café, since there is brain-computer interface technology, there are few people in ordinary Internet cafes to play, everyone goes to this kind of brain-computer Internet café, but this kind of equipment is very expensive, a set costs more than 100,000 yuan, open a such Internet café, there is no 18 million can not get down.
Because of this, many ordinary people want to experience this latest brain-computer technology, and are not willing to spend so much money to buy equipment, so they can only experience this brain-computer Internet café. Although the average Internet fee of 25 yuan an hour is not cheap, it is affordable for ordinary people.
The "five-dimensional space" Internet café is a small Internet café, a store and a half room, up and down the stairs, there are about 60 or 70 machines, just opened for about a month, and the attendance rate is not bad.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that this technology was invented by your ex-brother-in-law, and you still need to spend money to buy machines when you open this Internet café? Just ask him how many sets he wants. The girl at the front desk said with a smile.
looked at Zhou Xiaodong, who looked obscene and always secretly glanced at her chest, and the girl at the front desk was also very annoyed. If Zhou Xiaodong is the big boss of the Internet café, it doesn't matter, she is only a small shareholder with five percent of the shares, and she really has no idea.
Moreover, she also heard that the money invested by Zhou Xiaodong was borrowed, and he owed a lot of debts, so he still ate and dressed high-end every day, and spent money like running water, so he was an unreliable person at first glance.
Today's young girls are not so easy to fool, and Zhou Xiaodong's situation was figured out as early as a few days before she went to work.
and the situation at home, which is basically known. I heard that his sister and Xu Fuhai were originally a couple, but later divorced because of cheating in marriage. After getting divorced, he worked on his own, and almost lost all his work. And Xu Fuhai developed after the divorce, founded Neptune Group, and became the richest man in the world in less than two years!
Zhou Xiaodong was even more bizarre, he got a girlfriend named Zhu Linlin, but he left within two days of getting married, and he took away his house, and turned around and fell in love with his ex-brother-in-law!
This family can be said to have played a hand of Tianhu's cards poorly!
If his sister doesn't divorce Xu Fuhai now, with the strength of Boss Xu, just pulling out leg hair is enough for their family to enjoy endless prosperity and wealth, and they still use it to open an Internet café here? Repay the loan?
That's it, what are you still pretending to be in front of yourself?
The sister at the front desk expressed disdain.
Because of this, seeing that Zhou Xiaodong was entangled endlessly, she deliberately led the topic to Xu Fuhai and made him retreat.
"That's right, this is what my brother-in-law Mr. Xu invented, but didn't he buy the technology to the people of the United States? Now it's all produced by Zhina Capital, and it has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, let me tell you, based on my relationship with my brother-in-law, I will come with hundreds of sets of equipment and play. Zhou Xiaodong half-leaned on the bar and said angrily.
"Really, alas, Mr. Zhou, I just heard you say that Zhina Capital, I heard that your sister also worked there before, it seems that she is still the president or something, why didn't you do it later?" The girl at the front desk asked curiously.
Zhou Xiaodong's heart is a little greasy, why can't this girl open a pot!
However, on the surface, he still has to maintain his aura as a big boss.
I saw him take out a Huazi and light it, take a puff in a chic manner, spit out a smoke ring, and then said: "You said that, what a foreigner is not righteous, he used the relationship between my sister and my brother-in-law to get technology from my brother-in-law, and I will count my sister when I look back, my sister is not familiar with them, and I don't play with them anymore!" ”
Listening to Zhou Xiaodong's forcible explanation, and not forgetting to fill the cup, the girl at the front desk was secretly funny in her heart, but on the surface, she still chatted with him without a word.
At this time, the network administrator on the second floor suddenly ran down a little nervously.
"Mr. Zhou, it just so happens that you are also here, something is a little abnormal!" The webmaster said a little nervously.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiaodong looked at the thin network administrator wearing thick black-framed glasses and said unhurriedly.
"There are a few guests upstairs, it has been more than 12 hours on the plane, but they still haven't gotten off the plane, their Internet fee is gone, but the management system of the Internet café seems to be broken, and there is no way to force them to quit." The webmaster said.
"What do they have to do when the Internet fee is gone? Retreat directly! When Zhou Xiaodong heard the words of the network administrator, he was immediately unhappy. Do you still need to find yourself for such a simple matter? This webmaster is a piece of waste!
"No, Mr. Zhou, listen to my explanation! This brain computer is not the same as an ordinary computer! It allows customers to enter the virtual world by directly acting on the central nervous system of the brain and taking over the way of the perceptual system. In such a situation, it is necessary to go through the normal exit mechanism in order to wake up safely, and if you force yourself to retreat, it is very likely that you will never wake up! The webmaster explained anxiously.
"What? Never wake up? Hearing the words of the network administrator, Zhou Xiaodong was taken aback!
Isn't that vegetative?
That's a serious accident!
How much does an internet café have to lose?
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaodong was anxious!
"Doesn't that mean this thing is safe? It's been on the market for two years, and so many people have no problem using it, why is this problem all of a sudden? It's because you're not good at technology, you haven't figured it out! Zhou Xiaodong said with some suspicion.
Hearing Zhou Xiaodong questioning his professional skills, the network administrator was unhappy, but he didn't have time to worry about this with him! He is engaged in virtual reality, and he knows how awesome this technology is, and at the same time, he also knows how serious such a situation is!
In fact, he also wondered in his heart. As Zhou Xiaodong said, this technology has been around for almost two years, and it has been stable and normal from concept to commercial use, and there has never been such a situation today!
"Mr. Zhou, I suggest asking for help from the Brain-Computer Interface Virtual Reality Technology Management Committee, this situation is too rare and dangerous!" The webmaster suggested.
"Asking for help? I guess I got a lot of money that time. Zhou Xiaodong hesitated in his heart.
"Mr. Zhou, this is not a matter of money, people can't retreat in the virtual world for so long, something big is going to happen! What if someone dies? The network administrator looked at his boss and was still thinking about money, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while!
"Wait a minute, I can't decide this matter alone, you try to do a good job in the technical things first, I'll make a call!"
Zhou Xiaodong is not a person who can make up his mind, it's no problem for him to follow that group of fox friends and dog friends to eat and drink from the sea, let him deal with such a big matter alone, it is purely to catch ducks on the shelves, it is embarrassing!
"Hello? Brother Lin, hurry up and come here, something is going on here in the Internet café! ”
"Brother Xu? What are you doing? Hurry up and come to the Internet café, something is wrong! ”
……
Half an hour later, several partners of the "Five-Dimensional Space" Internet café, except for two who were on a business trip, the rest arrived.
A few people stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking at the more than 20 customers lying on the brain-computer interface device motionless, as if they were asleep, looking at each other one by one, and they had no idea!
"Just now the network administrator said that we want to ask for help from the brain-computer interface virtual reality technology management committee, or we will ......," Zhou Xiaodong asked tentatively.
"Looking for them? Do you know how much is a technical service fee? One brain computer is not enough! Lin Qingjie, the biggest funder, glared at him angrily and said.
"What then? This person~~~ can't lie like this all the time! Zhou Xiaodong said with some concern.
"Let's fix it yourself first, maybe it will be better in a while!" Lin Qingjie said with a frown.
Just as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps sounded from downstairs!
As soon as a few people turned around, they saw a few policemen coming up from the staircase, and a few people in civilian clothes.
One of them stepped forward and asked, "Which of you is in charge?" ”
"Hello, I am me, my name is Lin Qingjie!" Hearing the other party ask himself, Lin Qingjie hurriedly stepped forward and said, and at the same time had a sudden attack in his heart!
"That ~~~ Comrade policeman, our Internet café has procedures, you see that is a business license!" Lin Qingjie pointed to the business license hanging on the wall and said.
"I didn't say you had a problem with the formalities! We have received feedback from the masses that some brain-computer interface devices cannot be logged out today, and the above attaches great importance to this matter! We are now working with the technical department to conduct a unified investigation of all brain-computer interface Internet cafes in the city, and now we are officially notifying you that they will be closed immediately, waiting for further notice, and the customers who are still on the machine will be logged out immediately! The policeman who took the lead said with a serious face.
"Huh? Closed? Comrade policeman, we have just opened our business, and we have invested more than 10 million yuan in this equipment, plus rent, water and electricity, and we can't afford to stop it! Hearing the policeman's words, Lin Qingjie suddenly said with a bitter face.
The faces of several other shareholders are also ugly, this Internet café is not like an ordinary Internet café, it is not cheap, and now I haven't seen a few dollars back, and it is going to close down, who can stand it?
"Am I talking to you? I'm here to inform you! By the way, do you have any cases where customers can't log out? If so, you have to report it immediately! The policeman said to him solemnly.
"That ~~~ comrade policeman, these people are all ~~~" Zhou Xiaodong was timid, and when he heard the policeman's words, he pointed to the two dozen or so customers who were surfing the Internet on the second floor.
Hearing Zhou Xiaodong's words, Lin Qingjie glared at him fiercely!
Zhou Xiaodong shrunk his neck, not daring to look at him.
And a group of people who were enforcing the law heard Zhou Xiaodong's words, but their faces became heavy at the same time!
