God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 442: Using games as a guide

"Hello everyone, I am Dr. Li Zhan. I am in the electronics laboratory of our Infinite Company. Based on the global network, we can have face-to-face communication thousands of miles away."

"Thank you for your support of our Infinite Company. I hope everyone can leave a pleasant memory in the next three months." Dr. Li smiled and spoke to them in pure London accent English, instead of American English, which makes Europeans feel a little rude, immediately won the welcome of 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-governmental organization.

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

Of course, the dominant players here are the twelve network service providers in the world.

If they join forces, they will hold 70.00% of the voting rights.

Other government representatives only represent the governments of various countries and strive for as much benefit as possible for themselves.

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

So much so that no one has ever doubted that there is an invisible shadow behind them secretly controlling them.

Only competition can lead to progress. In areas with the most developed Internet, such as the United States, Europe, and Asia, the fiber-to-the-home rate for urban residents has reached more than 60.00%.

The United States even reached 90.00%.

The network transmission rate of each user has also reached an astonishing [-]M downlink rate.

Facing the global market of billions of Internet users, apart from the annual network construction and maintenance expenses, as well as leaving enough profit margins for agents below the second level, Internet service providers are still making a lot of money. Smiling from ear to ear.

Among the twelve major Internet service providers, Infinite Company has the lowest charges. The monthly usage fee is only 35 yuan, which even a poor family can afford.

Anyway, for Chen Weidong, the money earned from the global market has reached the point where he can squander it at will and never spend it all. Why bother to earn the hard-earned money from ordinary people who are not rich to begin with.

By allowing domestic users to spend less extra money, they can spend their money where it is more needed, which can be regarded as making a small contribution to supporting the country's economic construction.

Now, due to the vigorous development of Infinity Network construction, the Internet has become one of the basic tools that people cannot do without in their daily lives.

In the eyes of many people, the Internet is almost equivalent to "high technology".

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

No idea.

It was Chen Weidong and others who were behind the scenes. Although various network service providers competed constantly, they did not use underhanded tactics to plot against their opponents. There was no longer a saying that "from Telecom to China Netcom 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 places around the world, only the photoelectric conversion during the transfer process will cause a delay of one or two seconds, which is not much different from global synchronization.

"You are all very good game enthusiasts. You can see from the display screen behind me that although I have not taught you how to use these devices, there are already nearly two thousand friends who have participated in the test and have connected them correctly. Equipment, this is great! I have a feeling we’re going to have a great time together!”

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

"Before, we didn't turn on the video signal, so those who had put on the virtual video device could only see a standby picture. Now that the video signal is turned on, everyone can rotate the headset down and we can directly use the virtual video glasses. Come to the site to familiarize yourself with the relevant equipment.”

Dr. Li's voice is clear and sweet, like the sound of the wind.

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

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

Just now, he noticed that Dr. Li Zhan, who was speaking on the screen, seemed to appear in front of him, as if face to face, sitting in front of his bed. Although he knew it was an illusion, he was still frightened and jumped up instinctively. "Doesn't it feel incredible? Don't worry, I'm still sitting in the electronics laboratory of Infinite Company, thousands of miles away from you. I don't have the special function of teleportation. This is just that everyone has been deceived by their own eyes. .”

Following Dr. Li's teasing, there was a burst of laughter in the room.

Not only Edward was surprised just now, but others were also inexplicably excited.

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

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

At the end, there are two very strange things.

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

Dr. Li picked up the keyboard and said: "I think everyone is very familiar with these things, so I don't need to say more. Next, I will focus on explaining the use of the hand-held manipulator."

He stretched out his hand and picked up the two manipulators, his fingers fitting into the grooves very naturally.

Dr. Li said: "We are all excellent veteran players. You can actually guess the usage of this hand-held manipulator by looking at the way I hold the handle."

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

He changed the handle on his right hand: "Needless to say, this is used to control movements, hands, feet, jumping, squatting, lying down. It is also a knob for the thumb, which can be pressed to control the force."

"As experienced players in video games, everyone should understand that light hands and light feet are faster, but the blow is smaller. This is suitable for quick attacks, heavy hands and heavy feet, which can cause the greatest damage to the enemy, but at the same time react It is also relatively slow, and for other things such as jumping, there is also a height and distance of the jump, which are controlled by the pressure of the thumb knob."

"We designed this control method based on ergonomics to make the game more convenient for everyone. You don't have to sit all the time, but you can also lie down on the bed, which saves more energy."

In the room, Isar and other game fans scratched their heads and felt itchy.

Before Dr. Li finished speaking, they took out two manipulators from the carton and embedded them in their hands.

Unfortunately, the main control computer has not been started yet. Although they have installed all the equipment, they still cannot try their skills. They can only watch Dr. Li helplessly as he continues to explain.

"You can adjust the sensitivity of these control devices according to your own preferences. Well, seeing that you are already eager for me to disappear, I will give you ten minutes to try out the functions of these devices."

Dr. Li stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to add: "On your glasses frame, there is a button on the left and right, and one is the main control menu of the device. You can reset the various buttons to suit yourself. usage habits, and the other button is for internal calls, which is equivalent to team calls. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Edward was still busy when he suddenly heard a loud noise, at least thousands of voices shouting in unison.

The huge and chaotic sound made his ears hear only a noisy roar, as if he was on the streets of downtown Paris and couldn't hear anything.

After a while, the sound gradually decreased, and he vaguely heard the voices of other companions in the dormitory through the earphones.

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

Isar is a familiar person here, and everyone here realizes that Edward is a rookie. Isar is very responsible and takes the initiative to assume the role of his game instructor.

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

Basically, everyone formed small guilds based on dormitories. Anyway, this was just to get familiar with the equipment, not to actually enter the game. It didn't matter to form more guilds.

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

Other sounds in the headphones quickly disappeared, leaving only a few people in the same dormitory talking to each other.
