God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 440 Metaverse Concept

The advertisement stated that [-] game testers would be recruited in several major European cities for three months.

During the period, the company will give a small amount of symbolic remuneration, but those who participate in the test will arbitrarily choose one of the various devices they participate in the test as a reward for participating in the test.

It turned out to be a game!
Many people immediately lost interest, but in the computer world, especially among game fans, it immediately caused a huge wave.

Is there any need to guess?What can cause disputes within the Computer Alliance is definitely not an ordinary game.

Furthermore, according to the advertisement, you can choose any device as reward. Anyone with a little bit of brains can quickly guess that what the alliance is launching this time is likely to be a virtual reality game!
Virtual reality games are technically feasible, but they are probably only virtual to a certain extent.

A closed helmet-mounted display, coupled with a specialized data processing device, can achieve basic virtual visual effects and initially meet the feasibility of virtual reality.

However, there are still many key issues that need to be resolved to fully achieve practical application and promotion.

The first thing to bear the brunt is that the price of the equipment is too high. With a specialized processor, each set of virtual gaming equipment costs tens of thousands or even 10,000+ euros.

The average game enthusiast is not willing to spend so much money to buy it.

This is not the main reason. After all, for experienced game enthusiasts, tens of thousands of euros can still be spent.

The reason why virtual games cannot be promoted is that the degree of virtuality is too low, and the simulation effects that players can participate in are limited, let alone the degree of freedom.

To design a highly realistic game, a large amount of data needs to be processed. If physical and chemical changes such as collisions and explosions are involved, sufficiently high-quality image processing equipment is required.

Of course, the most difficult thing to achieve is the simulation of human movements.

The mechanical movements of ships, planes, vehicles, etc. are all set in advance. They are nothing more than forward, backward, left, right, up and down. The movements are fixed and rigid, but with slightly more complicated controls, the difficulty increases sharply.

For example, aircraft, involving side turns, rolls and other actions, must be simulated by specific large-scale equipment.

Human movements are driven by muscles and joints.

With the world's existing virtual technology, it is still impossible to simulate while retaining the freedom of human movement. Every movement needs to be carried out according to a fixed program and controlled by a joystick.

If human movements cannot be flexibly integrated into the game, and there is no sensory stimulation such as touch, smell, etc., such virtual reality is nothing more than playing games in front of a super luxurious screen.

This level of virtual reality technology requires tens of thousands of euros to purchase equipment. Unless there is too much money to spend, no one is willing to be taken advantage of.

The ultimate goal of business is to make money.

Which game manufacturer would be willing to invest in research and development for a game with extremely narrow intended users?
Therefore, although virtual reality technology was widely circulated in the early 90s, except for its practical application in some military training equipment, it has never been widely promoted in civilian applications.

Although game enthusiasts are eager to see more, they can only continue to bury their desire for virtual technology in their hearts, and occasionally complain on Internet forums and look forward to the future.

As soon as the advertisement of the Eurasian Computer Alliance was published, it immediately caused a huge sensation among game enthusiasts around the world.

From the information revealed in the advertisement, everyone knows that it is Infinite Company that proposed and led this plan.

So far, Infinite Company has never had any delays. As long as the products they decide to launch are commercially available and reasonably priced.

So, does this mean that virtual reality games will finally be launched to the majority of game enthusiasts?

Game fans were so excited that they rushed out of their homes and offices one by one. They hurriedly dropped the work at hand and rushed to the registration point impatiently, hoping to be the first group to enjoy virtual reality technology. By.

Even if I lose my job for this, I won’t hesitate!

It's only a three-month test period. If you don't work for three months, you won't starve to death. After the test, you can still find a job again.

But if they can't catch up with the game test, if Infinite Company tests and finds that the virtual device is not perfect enough and cancels the promotion plan, I am afraid they will never be able to forgive themselves for their hesitation.

Less than 10 minutes after the advertisement was posted, dozens of game enthusiasts rushed to the registration points in Berlin, Paris, London and Rome out of breath.

Just an hour later, the line had grown to hundreds of meters!
By the evening of that day, the long queue had reached several kilometers, and the number of people had already exceeded 10!

The official registration time is still two days away.

Edward stared blankly at the long queue that stretched across several blocks, worrying about how to complete the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

"Damn it, I just came a few hours late, how come there are so many people! Are these people crazy? Don't they know that they are going to camp here for two nights?"

He knew that it was useless to emphasize any difficulties on his own, as his superiors would only look at the results.

In any case, he must become one of the [-] testers and get a first-hand report on Infinite Company’s virtual reality technology.

If the higher-ups don't see this, even if he speaks out, he won't get any sympathy.

At the registration point in Paris at this moment, hundreds of police officers are maintaining order. They don't care how many people are waiting in line behind them, they only care about whether anyone jumps to the front.

They were notified by the above that the people behind them were already out, and the number of people had already far exceeded the requirements of Infinite Company.

While keeping the queue at the front from being chaotic, the police went to the back to persuade those people to go home quickly, but with little success. Only a few people looked at the long queue, recognized the reality, and left the queue.

The vast majority of people still stubbornly stood in line and refused to leave no matter what.

In order to prevent others from jumping in line, they hugged the waist of the person in front of them one after another, forming a human chain several kilometers long.

The TV station's interview car drove nearby and set up a camera dozens of meters away from the team. The tawny-haired female host held a microphone and started broadcasting live.

Edward tried to get closer to the registration point, but was immediately targeted by several French policemen. They looked at him eagerly, planning to throw him out if he took another step forward. "Boy, my son is at the front. He managed to grab the front position. If you dare to disrupt the order and prevent him from being admitted, I will stuff you into the sewer next to him!"

"Immediately, immediately! Back away! Let me tell you, I am very nervous now and may make strong moves!"

A policeman said fiercely to him, and touched the baton on his waist in demonstration.

Edward smiled bitterly and took a few steps back, putting his hands in his pockets.

He touched a few banknotes in his trouser pocket and suddenly had an idea. He quickly left the registration point and took out a large stack of euros from a nearby cash machine.

Returning to the registration point, he waved the banknotes in his hand through the fence and shouted to the team: "Is there anyone willing to give up his seat? I am willing to pay a thousand euros to buy a seat at the front!"

The police heard his shouts and looked at him but did not stop him.

Several people in the team mockingly shouted at him: "Are you a pig?! I even lost my job for this position! What's a thousand euros?"

The team burst into loud jeers.

The television trucks soon turned their cameras on him, and tonight, Edward will appear in front of the television audience as one of the background characters that set off the excitement at the registration venue.

In order to grab the position, they all rushed over after seeing the advertisement without caring about anything. In three months, their salary was tens of thousands of euros. It was really stupid to try to bribe them with a mere thousand euros. pole!

"Ten thousand euros! I'll pay ten thousand euros!"

Edward's heart was bleeding, and he could only make up his mind to shout out a price. He didn't know whether the CIA would reimburse him for the money.

If he is not reimbursed, he will suffer a big loss.

"Thirty thousand euros! I'll buy a place for thirty thousand euros!"

He was still heartbroken when suddenly there was a well-dressed middle-aged man beside him, waving several thick stacks of banknotes and shouting loudly at the team.

Judging from his attire, it was obvious that he was a white-collar worker, and his entire body was worth tens of thousands of euros.

Unexpectedly, such a senior white-collar worker with an annual income of not less than [-] euros is also an avid game enthusiast!
A young man in the team hesitated for a moment and shouted: "Fifty thousand euros! Give me fifty thousand euros and I'll give you my seat!"

"make a deal!"

Without any hesitation, the senior white-collar man in a suit and tie immediately took out five stacks of gray-green banknotes, showed them to the police, then walked quickly to the queue, handed the money to the young man, and happily joined the queue. inside.

Edward yelled angrily, "Damn it! This bastard beat me to the idea I finally came up with!"

"Ten thousand euros, I'll pay ten thousand euros!"

He looked at the team pitifully and tried hard to shake the banknotes in his hand. If he hadn't just bought a new car last month, he wouldn't be so embarrassed and could only use [-] euros to embarrass himself here.

"Fifteen thousand euros!"

"I'll pay you [-], [-] euros!"

"."

Edward had more and more competitors. The success of that senior white-collar worker made others see another way out. They all joined the role of bidders and used money to buy seats from those at the front of the queue.

The police moved in to separate the bidders from the queue.

The people at the front of the queue agree to sell their positions. That is their freedom. As long as it does not cause trouble to them, they have no control over it.

Poor Edward waved the [-] euros in his hand and saw people around him from time to time. He happily ran over and was put into the barracks by the police. He used money to exchange places with people, but because his bid was too low, there was never anyone. Pay attention.

At this time, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Edward took it out, glanced at the number, pressed the answer button, and shouted in a hoarse voice for more than an hour, "I'm Edward!"

"You idiot! Why are you still waving money outside? I saw you on TV! The TV host said that you came two hours ago and spent all your money to buy a front seat. It made me cry. It’s going to leak out, damn it!”

Over the phone came the boss's scolding.

"BOSS, I only have [-] euros. If I had known that this position would be so hard to grab, I would have bought the car as well. I should have been able to buy it."

Edward took the phone away from his ear and said weakly.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then the superior asked: "What's the current price?"

Edward switched his phone to another ear and said with a wry smile: "Those who are willing to give up their positions have already changed. Now the price of one position has increased to more than 7 euros. Those who remain are all die-hard game fans."

"If it had been another hour, I might not have been able to change my position for [-] euros."

"Wang Defa! This money is so good! Why don't we at the CIA also conduct a virtual reality test? We will only recruit 1000 people and sell each position for [-] euros, and then we will have funds for this year's activities."

The superior was on the phone, speaking indignantly, half truthfully and half falsely.

Edward didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

People are so fanatical because they believe in the technical strength of Infinite Company. Does the CIA have this appeal?
