Chapter 278(1/2)
Quevedo had not experienced what happened yesterday, and he did not believe that it was normal for Tripp to brag about others and belittle him. However, the order had been officially issued, so he could only choose to accept it.
Besides, he's not stupid either.
Only when they lose the support from the rear will they be foolish enough to attack Dentian Island rashly.
However, Quevedo never gave up his idea, and after secretly calculating, he believed that things might turn around.
At present, the commander-in-chief can agree to the confrontation between the two sides in the virtual world and accept the benefits after failure. In the final analysis, future technology plays a linking role in the middle, but he does not think that the virtual helmet can truly achieve the goal.
Consciousness connects to computers.
At that time, as long as it does not meet the circumstances, he will be able to find ways to rekindle the dispute.
Just because he wanted to understand this, Quevedo did not stay in the office to continue arguing with Tripp, and quickly turned around and left.
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing from his sight, Tripp finally just sighed.
…
that's all.
The global landscape has been stable for another month under the guidance of future technology.
When the time comes to November.
At the end of the month.
Xu Lei’s virtual helmet project has finally made great progress.
"Xingtong, let's start the final assembly!" In the research room of Longhu High-tech Park, Xu Lei looked at the various precision instrument parts on the workbench in front of him, and gave instructions to the mechanical body of Xingtong next to him with a face filled with joy.
In the past month, Xu Lei has spent most of his time in the research laboratory, dealing with various equipment parts every day.
Sometimes I even sleep here at night.
It's not that Xu Lei is very eager to use the virtual helmet to complete the confrontation between the two sides. After all, there is an agreement, and there is no problem even if he deliberately hangs Lao Te.
Mainly after immersing himself in research, Xu Lei will like this feeling, and at the same time sincerely wants to make a virtual helmet quickly, and then experience its actual effect personally.
Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, and now he only has the final assembly process left.
During this period, Gu Sanlin, Jia Zhongjie, Xiao Chengyong and others also came here, wanting to see what a device that allows people to consciously enter the virtual world looks like. Unfortunately, because the helmet is still a finished product, there is no way to experience it for the time being.
Another issue is the quantum computer in the park.
Thanks to the efforts of Xiao Chengyong and others, the four newly built quantum computers have been officially put into use.
With the five quantum computers in the entire Longfor Park working at the same time, the scene was simply unimaginable, which made Xingtong's virtual world construction speed increase a lot.
Although the current progress is still at 30%, these were basically completed when there was only one quantum computer. Xu Lei believes that it will be very fast in the future.
But if you really want to say who has put the most effort into the research of virtual helmets, it must be Xingtong.
Because in addition to building the virtual world, Star Child's mechanical body has never left the research laboratory. Even the battery replacement was sent by the intelligent robot in the park. Xu Lei was still working at night when he was resting.
From this point alone, we can see that the mechanical body is indeed more than a little stronger than the human body.
Finally, when the exciting time came, Xingtong naturally did not dare to delay. Under Xu Lei's instructions, he immediately turned his hands into robotic arms that were more suitable for assembly, and then assembled the parts on the workbench in an orderly manner. Finally,
Forming a device similar to a motorcycle helmet.
"Report to the boss, the virtual helmet is assembled."
Before Xingtong could stop reporting, Xu Lei had already taken the virtual helmet in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Because the virtual helmet shell uses a composite material developed by Gu Sanlin, which is both hard and lightweight, the entire helmet weighs much less than a normal motorcycle helmet.
This ensures that players will not tire their necks if they wear it for a long time.
If used for too long, the system will remind the player and ask the player to exit and take a rest.
besides.
Each virtual helmet has its own code. Once it is bound to the user, no one can log in to the virtual world unless the user actively unbinds it.
After all, with an intelligent brain like Xingtong as the core of the virtual world, there will definitely be no loopholes.
Turning the virtual helmet over casually, you can see that it is entirely silver-gray, with symbols of future technology engraved on it.
Inside is a tentacle-like sensor.
Judging from the senses alone, it is indeed cool enough, not much different from the fantasy items in science fiction movies.
Of course, Xu Lei understands that in order to determine the real effect of a virtual helmet, the most important thing is to see its use effect, otherwise the cool appearance will become worthless.
But now the virtual helmet has been manufactured, but the virtual world has not yet been completed, and it is impossible to effectively experience it without the awareness of access to the virtual world.
After his thoughts stopped here, Xu Lei had no choice but to look at the star boy next to him: "With the current progress of building the virtual world, can you conduct a consciousness connection test on the virtual helmet and tell me the accurate results."
"boss."
"Currently, the construction progress of the virtual world is 32%. Star Child can allow the connected consciousness to enter the completed area."
"Do you want to do a test?"
After receiving Xingtong's affirmation, Xu Lei immediately felt relieved, then found a comfortable position to sit down and put the virtual helmet on his head.
It is worth mentioning that the virtual helmet comes with a built-in protection mechanism. Even if an accident occurs during use, it will only cause the consciousness to be unable to connect to the virtual world or virtual games, and will not affect the brain.
In a certain situation, it is similar to the power-off protection of home appliances.
Otherwise, players will suddenly become vegetative during use, and no matter how attractive the virtual world is, not many people will dare to try it.
However, the consequence of this protection mechanism is that users under the age of sixteen cannot use it.
After Xu Lei put on the virtual helmet and officially started it, he first felt that his whole head was wrapped by sensors, and then with a lazy numbness, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness. When the vision returned to light again, Xu Lei found that he had suddenly
Came to the island.
"This is entering the virtual world?"
"here it is……"
After getting acquainted with each other for a while, Xu Lei began to observe his own status and environment out of curiosity.
No matter how you touch your body or make various movements, it is no different from the real thing. You can even feel the smell of sea breeze in the air.
If he hadn't known that he was still in Binjiang City, he would have thought that everything in front of him was real.
And just when Xu Lei turned around and looked back, a tall tower-like building suddenly came into view, causing him to react instantly: "It's actually a space elevator. Could it be that I have arrived at the Island of Heaven."
That's right.
The building he saw was the space elevator.
After all, this is a super project that I built myself. How could I be looking at the wrong path?
But unlike the real space elevator, he didn't see a single person on the entire island.
Just when Xu Lei was about to get closer and take a closer look, he suddenly noticed the virtual figure of Xingtong appearing next to him, and took the initiative to explain the situation here.
"boss."
"This is the Dengtian Island in the virtual world I built."
"Because you are the only one entering the virtual world right now, you will not see other people here, and you can view your personal information silently."
With Xingtong's novice guidance, Xu Lei quickly figured out the specifics.
After reciting the method silently in his mind, a personal information screen immediately appeared in front of him. However, apart from his real name and virtual helmet code, there was only specific body data left on it. This may be because the virtual world has not been completely constructed yet.
All other information columns are temporarily blank.
Although Xu Lei used the virtual reality technology in his mind to create a virtual helmet, he has never really experienced the virtual world, so it is normal that he is not familiar with the situation here.
However, we can also see from this how having an intelligent brain can help the virtual world.
"It seems that this will soon become the main battlefield for the confrontation between the two sides. It will definitely be very interesting then." Thinking of the special nature of Dentian Island, Xu Lei stopped and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
But he didn't stay immersed in it for too long.
Soon my mind was occupied by a new idea.
"Starboy."
"Can you modify the parameters so that I can experience the feeling of flying?" He asked without concealing the expectation on his face.
In the real world, Star Child may have limited abilities, but in the virtual world she constructed, she is basically an omnipotent being.
Modifying parameters couldn't be easier.
"Of course, boss."
Almost as soon as he followed Xingtong's voice, Xu Lei felt that his feet seemed to have lost the center of gravity for an instant, and then his whole body was suspended in the air, moving flexibly in mid-air with the swing of his arms.
If others are swimming in the water, then Xu Lei is swimming in the air.
Although the posture does not look elegant and handsome, it is very cool!
Human beings have never given up the dream of flying, which is why they invented airplanes and rockets, but so far, humans themselves have never been able to fly.
Today Xu Lei can experience it in the virtual world, which can be called complete from a certain perspective.
Of course, when the virtual helmet is officially launched for sale and more and more users enter the virtual world, they still have to follow the rules of the real world, otherwise it will be chaos if everyone is floating in the air.
To be continued...
