I Found A Planet

After the virtual helmet came out.

Needless to say too much, the VR era that has flourished for more than ten years has basically come to an end.

Obviously, many VR manufacturers will not sit still and will definitely struggle. After all, this is a super cake involving more than 10 trillion interests.

So in order to stop Xinghai Technology, they released all kinds of defamatory negative remarks:

"Virtual helmet technology is not safe and has the potential to cause brain death."

"The degree of Internet addiction caused by virtual helmets will be ten times that of VR games, which is not good for the physical and mental health of young people."

"Currently virtual technology is immature, and there are ten huge flaws."

"Excessive use of virtual helmets will cause irreversible damage to the brain. This is a route that should be abandoned."

but……

In front of a big devil like Xinghai Technology, all struggles are useless and futile.

There is no need for Xinghai Technology to refute and respond to the rumors, the majority of game players have already voted with their feet automatically.

"Garbage that is an eyesore, get out of here!"

"Because Xinghai Technology has not come to an end, the development of the VR industry these years has been too cool and comfortable, and now it is time to return to the nightmare moment."

"Hehe, it's not safe, it's harmful to the brain? Such rumors are too low. Xinghai Technology broke through virtual technology more than ten years ago. After so many years, there are still people who think it's immature. Are you eating dry food?"

"Honestly accept the fate of being run over by wheels!"

Obviously the majority of gamers are not stupid, virtual games, VR games, which is the future, which is more exciting and expected, players know how to choose.

In addition, the game field is almost the only field where there is no "vested interest group". If this game is fun, it will immediately attract hundreds of millions or billions of players; It will also flow into new games in large numbers, causing a large number of other game players to lose.

It's a bit of a "winner takes all" kind of thing.

There are basically no games that want to keep players forever.

Relevant agencies have confirmed that Xinghai Technology's virtual helmet is "mature, safe and stable" and allowed to be launched on the market.

...

Commonwealth 8, December 24.

Xinghai Technology's "Fantasy Three Generations" virtual helmet is the first to go on sale.

The first batch of 50 million sets of virtual helmets is the first to be launched in the country Z market.

In order to prevent scalpers from maliciously hoarding goods, the sales method of virtual helmets is "purchasing with real names in offline physical stores"... To put it bluntly, you have to queue up at the door of the store to buy.

...

Chuzhou City.

The busiest commercial street.

The entrance of a virtual helmet sales outlet.

There was a long queue that could not be seen, and many police officers were on the side of the road to maintain order.

Li Dong, Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen and others are in the middle of this team.

"Since I was a child, I have never stood in such a long line."

"The cafeteria with the best taste in our school has a queue of 15 minutes at most, right?"

"This team is moving too slowly. It will take at least three or four hours to see the storefront?"

"We came here too slowly. If we had come here at midnight last night, we might have bought something, but we didn't get up until 4 o'clock."

"Brother, it just snowed the day before yesterday, and today's temperature is five degrees below zero. Who can get out of bed in this damn weather?"

"Isn't it enough to wrap the bed with a quilt? Look at those queues in front of you. It's not a quilt for each person... Hey, the first batch of helmets is only 50 million, and even less is allocated to our small city. I don't know. Can I buy it?"

Liu Yichen had a sad expression on his face.

Li Dong stood on tiptoe to observe the length of the queue, opened the mobile phone map, roughly estimated the distance to the store, pressed a few times on the calculator, and said: "There are about 1,300 people in front of us, and each person takes ten seconds on average. In three and a half hours, we can buy a gaming helmet."

Of course, the premise is that the helmet has not been sold out.

They could only move forward slowly with anxiety.

soon.

More than three hours later, when their legs were swollen and numb, they felt tired and hungry.

The virtual helmet store, finally in front of them, is getting closer.

"Brother, I will transfer you 10,000 yuan, can you give me your position and let me go in and buy first?"

Li Dong and the others heard a voice, a short and fat man with good financial conditions wanted to pay for a seat in the front.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting in line for ten hours, it's impossible to sell you this seat." The thin boy who heard the request said.

"20,000, is 20,000 enough for you?"

"Don't sell, don't bother me!"

"fifty thousand!"

"Don't want 10 million, my virtual helmet, my ultimate dream! It is priceless, don't try to use money to tarnish it!"

The skinny boy pushed the short and fat man away, and rushed into the specialty store in a daze.

About half a minute later.

The skinny boy came out with a petrified look: "16 days, 16 days left before turning eighteen, not eligible to buy a helmet..."

The thin boy looked up to the sky and shouted: "Xinghai Technology, I want to sue you for age discrimination!"

"Hahaha~"

Li Dong and the others couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, this opportunity is more precious than a woman's first night, so just go to the back and line up."

After refusing the short and fat man's plea, Li Dong and the others walked into the purchase channel of the specialty store one after another (there are three purchase channels in total).

The purchase process of the virtual helmet is very simple. After choosing an ordinary helmet priced at 3,999 yuan (19,999 yuan for the deluxe configuration version), input fingerprints, scan the face and body image, and automatically bind the personal identity information to the virtual helmet (bind After the identity is determined, the helmet cannot be used by others within one year), the face payment system automatically pays, and a box containing the virtual helmet is delivered to you by the machine.

If the efficiency is fast enough, you can get the virtual helmet and leave in 6 to 10 seconds.

"Purchase successful, please take your helmet."

"yeah!"

Li Dong picked up the virtual helmet, raised his fist, and walked out of the store.

Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen, Xu Kai and other roommates also bought virtual helmets.

They walked out less than 100 meters with their helmets in their hands contentedly, when the queuing scene suddenly exploded.

"The virtual helmets in stock are all sold out, please come back in two weeks."

"What? It sold out so quickly?"

"Damn it, ten hours of waiting in line for nothing?"

"Monkey-playing, shameless monkey-playing!"

The scene fell into chaos, and Li Dong and the others chose to leave quickly.

...

302 bedrooms.

"Haha, we were lucky, we almost couldn't buy it." Cai Qinghai said happily.

"The first batch of 50 million units, with an average order of about 10,000 units, is not enough. I think at least half of the people did not buy it."

Li Dong said in the chat group Aitmu Wanqiu: "Wanqiu, did you grab the helmet? We all bought it."

"No."

Mu Wanqiu replied: "The queue is too long. I waited in line for six hours, and I couldn't hold on any longer. I plan to buy it when it's easier."

"Then you missed the first batch of opportunities to experience virtual games?"

"If you miss it, just miss it. There is no way. The team is too scary. There are too many people in Shanghai City. In comparison, a small city like yours is better."

"Well, "Galaxy Era" will be officially launched in three months, and it is still in the closed beta experience period. Let's go in and find out first, and see how the game works...We will tell you the situation."

"Well, thank you, President, I wish you a smooth exploration!"

...

Ten p.m.

Li Dong, Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen and others put on virtual helmets, waiting for the most exciting moment.

The countdown sounded in my ears.

"10, 9, 8..."
