My science and technology museum

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 attack Dengtian Island rashly.

However, Quevedo never gave up his idea, and after secretly calculating, he believed that things might turn around.

At present, the general 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 fit the situation, 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.

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 Xingtong's mechanical body 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 devoting himself wholeheartedly to research, Xu Lei will like this feeling. At the same time, he sincerely wants to make a virtual helmet quickly and experience its actual effect personally.

Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, and now he only had 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, Xingtong'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 mechanical arms that were more suitable for assembly, and then assembled the parts on the workbench in an orderly manner. Finally, Forming a motorcycle helmet-like device.

"Report to the boss, the virtual helmet is assembled."

Before Xing Tong 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.

From a sensory point of view, 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. Without the awareness of access to the virtual world, it cannot be effectively experienced.

After his thoughts stopped here, Xu Lei had no choice but to look at Xingtong beside 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."

"The current construction progress of the virtual world is 32%. Star Pupil can allow the connected consciousness to enter the completed area."

"Would you like to be tested?"

After receiving Xing Tong'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.

"Are you entering the virtual world now?"

"here it is……"

After getting acquainted 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'm on the Sky Island?"

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 Xing Tong's virtual figure 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 be very interesting then." Thinking of the special nature of Dentian Island, Xu Lei stopped and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

But he didn't dwell on it for too long.

Soon my mind was occupied by a new idea.

"Xingpu."

"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, Xingtong's abilities may be limited, 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 Xing Tong's voice went down, 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 doesn’t look very elegant and handsome, it’s still cool enough!

Human beings have never given up the dream of flying. It is for this reason that airplanes and rockets were invented. However, so far, human beings 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.

Anyway, players can still experience it when the glorious virtual game is launched.

Especially the feeling of controlling absolute power in the game, I believe it will be more attractive than flying. Just thinking about it makes people yearn for it.

In the end, Xu Lei stayed in the virtual world for a total of two hours under Xingtong's detailed introduction. He almost felt a little hungry before exiting the virtual world and taking off his helmet.

"This test is perfect, then we should consider the issue of mass production." Xu Lei stood up from his seat, still a little unfinished. After highly praising the virtual helmet he created, he noticed that the time was not yet up. At dinner time, I planned to go to Hu Xinren first and let him start the transformation of the production line.

So Xu Lei was immediately seen leaving the research room with the virtual helmet and Xingpupil.

…

Not long after.

When Hu Xinren took over the virtual helmet from Xu Lei, he felt as if he had found a treasure. His eyes looked like he had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw delicious food.

What I want most is to taste it immediately.

"Dean, it's incredible that you have mastered the virtual helmet so quickly."

Hu Xinren looked carefully at the virtual helmet in his hand and didn't know how to evaluate Xu Lei's efficiency.

Speaking of which, when this project was first announced at the company meeting, he was really looking forward to it. He wanted to know how far the virtual helmet Xu Lei could achieve.

He just thought that it would not be easy to manufacture such a cross-generational product, so he didn't take it too seriously during this period. If others hadn't told him, he probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a project, but he never thought of it. It had only been a month since Xu Lei arrived with a virtual helmet.

Its research efficiency is simply unimaginable.

Even though Hu Xinren knew that his dean was powerful, he was still feeling uncontrollably shocked at this moment.

However, he is increasingly looking forward to the real effect of this virtual helmet.

At this time, Xu Lei obviously saw through Hu Xinren's thoughts, so he immediately smiled and said: "I have tested this virtual helmet, and there are basically no problems. I brought it here today to help you complete the mass production of the production line as soon as possible."

"Of course you can also try it yourself." Xu Lei deliberately paused for a few seconds before saying the last sentence.

Hearing this, Hu Xinren's expression suddenly brightened: "Isn't this too troublesome?"

"Don't worry, just put it on." Xu Lei nodded and confirmed again.

After receiving Xu Lei's confirmation, Hu Xinren finally stopped wasting time, sat down somewhere and put the helmet directly on his head.

Because the virtual world has not yet been constructed and Xu Lei has not bound it, Hu Xinren can also use it.

At this time, Xu Lei observed Hu Xinren's physical changes and found that he seemed to be in a deep sleep after the virtual helmet was activated. At the same time, the changes in his expression in the virtual world were not synchronized to his body.

In addition, the virtual helmet also has a wake-up mechanism.

If the user is disturbed by the outside world during use, the system will remind the user in the virtual world and may force the user to go offline depending on the interruption.

Although Hu Xinren was looking forward to the virtual helmet, he did not forget about business. Knowing that Xu Leihe was still waiting for him, he only stayed in the virtual world for about ten minutes before voluntarily quitting.

"It's really shocking. This is no different from the real world. The effect may even exceed the settings in science fiction movies." Hu Xinren woke up and was already excited before he could take off the virtual helmet on his head. Speaking about it, it can be seen that he is deeply impressed by the effect of the virtual helmet at this moment.

"The virtual helmet has successfully passed various tests. Next, we must seize the time for mass production. If possible, I hope to launch it globally in the first half of next year." Looking at Hu Xinren, who was full of surprise, Xu Lei smiled and talked about business.

After hearing this, Hu Xinren suddenly became serious.

After probably pausing for a few seconds, after calculating the transformation of the production line and the production capacity issues, he responded solemnly: "With the current level of our company's production line, if it is operated at full power, it can produce at least one million units per month. If it is launched globally in the first half of next year, , it should be fine to adopt the limited-volume rush-buying model for the time being.”

The conclusion given by Hu Xinren was basically similar to Xu Lei's analysis, so Xu Lei didn't say much.

Anyway, as long as the number of helmets can meet the requirements for global launch, it doesn't matter even if the limited-run rush model is used, it just highlights the preciousness of the virtual helmet.

The key is to put it into the market in time and continue to increase the popularity of virtual helmets, so that it can gain enough influence.

You must know that the requirement for influence this time has reached tens of millions. If you don't seize the time to earn influence, you will be able to unlock new exhibits in the year of the monkey and the horse in the month.

Xu Lei was very curious about the second floor of the Science and Technology Museum. During this period, he always had a feeling that as long as his influence reached a certain limit, he would be able to ascend to the second floor.

Although the booths in the museum hall will be unlocked when they reach the required influence value, their subsequent influence is still growing. For example, if Xu Lei enters the Science and Technology Museum to check at this time, he can see the information screen of the booths that have already been unlocked, and their influence has long been exceeds the original limit.

This shows that the influence of each exhibit should be calculated cumulatively.

It's just that he doesn't know what the rated limit is yet, so he can only unlock new exhibits step by step until the second floor space is opened.

"Then let's do it as soon as possible. In addition, we can appropriately allocate the production capacity of the company's other products to the virtual helmet. Next, the virtual world will be the company's main development project."

"I understand, Dean." After receiving Xu Lei's order, Hu Xinren responded without hesitation.

After solving the problems of the virtual helmet production line and mass production, Xu Lei no longer stayed at Hu Xinren's place for a long time, and was going to go to the restaurant of the headquarters building to solve his stomach problem first.

But thinking about this, Xu Lei became more interested in the mechanical body. At least the mechanical body can be maintained as long as it has energy, without the need for food.

Even the relationship between men and women can be satisfied in the virtual world. The feelings are the same anyway, except that there is no way to breed the next generation in traditional ways.

Between meals.

Xu Lei took the time to go online.

Since the development of science and technology in the future, he has either been immersed in the research of product technology and cannot extricate himself, or he has directly obtained the information he wanted from Xingtong. Indeed, he has not seriously surfed the Internet for a long time.

However, he quickly turned off the holographic quantum terminal in disappointment.

Because he found that apart from future technology, there was no new and interesting news on the Internet.

The only thing that can be seen is the main station’s tracking report on the construction of the Guanghan Palace lunar base. From the first time last month that three astronauts were transported to the moon with the help of a space elevator and temporarily survived on the moon with the help of a life capsule, to today the space elevator has again Many climb missions were performed.

Transport fuel supplies for the Shenzhou spacecraft, as well as new astronauts and lunar rover space robots.

There are already more than a dozen astronauts on the moon.

With the help of robots and lunar rovers, they are using materials transported by space elevators and spacecraft to transform the crater.

According to the construction drawings of the Guanghan Palace lunar base, the entire crater will eventually become an independent living space. In addition to astronauts living normally inside, the mines for obtaining lunar resources will also be inside.

Although this project is also extremely huge, even if there is a space elevator, it cannot be completed in a short time, but the strategic significance is unimaginable.

Xu Lei is naturally confident about this, and believes that the Guanghan Palace lunar base will take shape within a year or two at most.

As for overseas, it seems that they have completely given up on the moon base plan and are not announcing new launch missions, which is within Xu Lei's expectation.

soon.

After Xu Lei had eaten and drank enough, he was ready to return to the research laboratory to continue the application of virtual reality technology.

The virtual helmet is small and convenient, and its price is definitely not too expensive. It can be regarded as a popular version that is more accessible to the people. However, a virtual helmet alone definitely does not meet the standards of this technology, so Xu Lei thought about it and planned to make one. The virtual game cabin comes out.

Although there is essentially no difference between the two, they can at least provide users with a more comfortable posture. Of course, the price will be more expensive.

I believe that virtual game cabins will definitely become a pursuit of wealthy people.

In this way, even if the virtual helmet is cheaper, the company's profits can still be earned through the virtual game cabin. To put it simply, it means robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

According to Xu Lei's plan, the price of the virtual helmet is estimated to be around tens of thousands of yuan. It is relatively more expensive overseas. After all, it is mainly to earn influence. The price is too high and most people cannot afford it. So this product is It has lost its meaning.

The more users there are, the higher the influence will be.

It's also worth mentioning that just when Xu Lei and Xingtong's mechanical body returned to the research room, he suddenly thought of something.

Then he gave new instructions to Xing Tong beside him.

"Xingpu."

"Contact Zhang Xia and tell her that our company's upcoming new products can be initially disclosed to the public."

"It's the boss." Xingtong replied without any hesitation.

At present, the virtual helmet is about to enter the mass production stage. Properly revealing a little bit of news to the outside world can first arouse users' expectations, which will then cause a chain reaction when the product is launched.

Another thing is that Xu Lei wants to try this method to see if it can increase the influence of virtual reality technology exhibits. After all, the influence of the space elevator last time was all based on live broadcast, but Xu Lei also understands that the two types of exhibits are different. , there will also be differences in the ways to gain influence.

But after experimenting, I finally figured it out.

Maybe you can give yourself a new way to earn influence.

Xingtong's speed in conveying orders was undoubtedly extremely fast. In addition, Zhang Xia had been in charge of this matter during the previous meeting, so she carried out a publicity activity on the same day after learning about this situation.

It announced that Future Technology will soon launch a new product, the virtual helmet, and gave a general introduction to the virtual world.

When it comes to the technologies with the greatest expectations for the future, virtual helmets are undoubtedly one of them.

So when everyone saw that this problem seemed to be solved by future technology, they immediately fell into madness. What the hell was wrong in their hearts, especially when they thought about the inexplicable suspension of the glorious game before, and they were even more excited. controlled.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is almost numb to such casual things like future technology.
