My science and technology museum

"First divide 200,000 virtual helmets and treat them as internal beta users." After Xu Lei figured out the current inventory of virtual helmets, he directly explained to Hu Xinren: "I will notify them to come and pick up the goods."

"I understand, Dean." Hu Xinren's heart moved at first and then he regained his composure.

Compared to ordinary people who know nothing about the outside world, he knows some inside information because of his relationship with the members of the Future Technology Research Center.

Understand the usefulness of these two hundred thousand virtual helmets.

Thinking that this special confrontation would affect the future of the world, no matter how hard Hu Xinren tried to keep himself calm, he couldn't help but ask more: "Dean, is the confrontation in the virtual world about to begin? Will we..."

"Xingtong has completed the construction of the virtual world."

Xu Lei knew very well what Hu Xinren was worried about, so he interrupted before he could finish his words: "Don't worry, the victory will definitely belong to us."

certainly.

His words were not meant to comfort Hu Xinren.

Because in order to construct the weapons and equipment owned by both sides in the virtual world, detailed information must be collected. This may not be possible for ordinary people, but it is very simple in front of Xingtong.

Tripp was reluctant at first, but he had no other choice.

It can be said that Xingtong currently has the real weapons and equipment levels of both sides, and after calculations, he came to the conclusion that there is absolutely no possibility of victory for Lao Te.

Therefore, the importance of this matter in Xu Lei's mind has dropped a lot. He regarded it as a promotional event for the virtual helmet, and asked two superpowers to serve as internal testers.

Anyway, the outcome has already been determined.

Hu Xinren undoubtedly had absolute faith in Xu Lei.

After hearing these words, the whole person immediately relaxed and stopped asking too much about this matter.

After taking care of the virtual helmet matter, Hu Xinren did not stay too long in the office and quickly turned around and left to arrange the 200,000 virtual helmets.

As for what Xu Lei has to do in the short term, the only thing left is to plan a new product launch conference for virtual helmets.

As a special device that allows humans to connect to the virtual world, the emergence of virtual helmets is of epoch-making significance, and its impact on the future development of civilization is even greater than that of space elevator nano-medical robots.

Under such circumstances, future technology must not be announced casually.

That seems too shabby.

There is still no shortage of new product launches.

And he, the president of the company, needs to personally host the press conference.

At this moment, Xu Lei was sitting in his seat, thinking deeply about the process of the product launch, and thinking about how to avoid being conventional.

It is different from previous press conferences.

After the entire office was silent for about a few minutes, Xu Lei suddenly raised his gaze and ordered the Xingtong Mechanical Body next to him: "Ask Fang Yuan to come to my place. I want to inquire about the progress of their Glory Virtual Game. "

"Okay boss."

Xingtong leaned down respectfully, not caring about the view of her chest exposed to Xu Lei's sight.

However, this time she did not convey orders to Fang Yuan through holographic projection, but controlled the mechanical body and walked out.

Perhaps it is because of the special mechanical body. If it is not a particularly urgent matter, Xingtong will always go there and explain it in person like Chen Shihe did.

Xu Lei knew this very well.

He didn't say anything.

After all, as Xingtong moves from artificial intelligence to the realm of intelligent brain, what he does has long been separated from ordinary procedures, and has a feeling of gradually approaching human thinking. It is not even an exaggeration to say that no matter what Xingtong does now Things wouldn't surprise him.

In fact, Xu Lei has had a feeling since the Longhu Light Quantum Computer came out.

It seems that even if he loses the highest authority over Xingtong, Xingtong will still obey his orders unconditionally. Sometimes this is more like a complex emotion that only humans can have.

Because of this, Xu Lei would not interfere too much with Xingtong's behavior.

…

Hu Xinren took the tasks assigned by Xu Lei and his execution efficiency can be said to be very high.

After coming out of the office, he went directly to the warehouse to transfer 200,000 virtual helmets, and temporarily stored them separately until both parties sent people to take them away.

It is worth mentioning that after learning that Xingtong had completed the construction of the virtual world, Xu Lei asked Xingtong to send a message to his superiors and Lao Te, asking them to send people to transport the virtual helmet and prepare to start the previously agreed confrontation.

Maybe he was too curious about the virtual helmet and wanted to know as soon as possible how far the virtual world Xu Lei mentioned could reach. Yu Hongliang was the fastest on this matter and sent a military convoy almost that night. , one hundred thousand virtual helmets were transferred out of Binjiang City by escort.

As for Bei Magnesium, they need to use cargo ships for transportation and ask Future Technology to transport these virtual helmets to the dock.

Faced with such a small request, Xu Lei naturally agreed directly.

Anyway, if the cost and the selling price of the virtual helmet are added together, he won't suffer a loss.

that's all.

When the virtual helmets are distributed to closed beta users, the start of the closed beta is finally approaching. I believe that the world will be stable for a long time.

A few days later.

Dali Rover Island.

La Jor Space Force Base.

Tripp, who had completely gray hair in a war room, looked at the virtual helmets in front of him with some doubts in his eyes: "This is the virtual helmet we bought from Future Technology for $5 billion. Can it really realize virtual reality?"

Due to the special nature of the virtual helmet, Tripp directly ordered people to transport it to the base.

But when I really see these things that are not much different from ordinary helmets in appearance, I feel like eating a secret burger, which makes me feel as uncomfortable as I want.

After all, they have already spent the money.

If what you get back is an ordinary helmet, it is equivalent to being manipulated by future technology.

The key is that they haven't been able to pursue responsibility.

Because during the handover of the goods, Future Technology made it clear that there would be no after-sales service for the products under internal testing.

Especially thinking about the conversation with Xu Lei that day, Tripp felt like he was being dominated and couldn't help but shudder.

"Reporting to the Chief, these helmets were just delivered today and we haven't tested them yet." Hayden next to him heard Tripp's words and quickly explained.

"No."

Tripp seemed to have made a decision and suddenly waved his hand: "I want to test the effect of this virtual helmet myself."

"Is this too risky?" Hayden looked worried.

"If Future Technology really uses products with problems, it will not force us to accept this confrontation." Lao Te ignored Hayden's persuasion and immediately picked up a virtual helmet and put it on his head.

This move also immediately stimulated Quevedo, who was following him. He also picked up a virtual helmet, his face still showing disdain: "I don't believe that future technology can really create a virtual world. If the effect doesn't work later, Ideally, I will apply to launch Operation Thunder on Dentian Island immediately."

Seeing the two core figures wearing virtual helmets in front of him, Hayden was also a little tired. After all, if something happened, a war would inevitably break out.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him, so he had no choice but to call the medical team in place first.

In this way, even if a problem does occur, rescue can be carried out in time.

As the two people started the virtual helmet according to the instructions, the whole person immediately entered a state of sleep. When the sight returned again, the consciousness had already entered a new virtual world.

——

virtual reality.

base.

Quevedo looked at the familiar buildings in front of him and the various feelings reflected back by his body, and he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or something had happened to the base.

He was certain that the place he was currently in was La Jiaoer Base, but the strange thing was that he was the only one there, and everyone in the entire base seemed to have disappeared.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

Just when he was about to have a nervous breakdown, he saw a flash of light beside him, and a new figure suddenly appeared.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Tripp.

"General, have we really entered the virtual world?" Quevedo seemed to have found his backbone and hurriedly walked towards Tripp.

The current state of the whole person is completely different from that of just now.

That unwavering momentum has long since disappeared.

Unlike Quevedo, Tripp was still willing to believe that future technology had mastered virtual reality technology because of his conversation with Xu Lei that day.

At this time, he did not immediately respond to Quevedo, but carefully observed his physical condition and the surrounding environment.

It wasn't until a light blue attribute window appeared in front of him that he truly believed that the place in front of him was the virtual world. His pupils shrank suddenly and his heart was completely shocked. He opened his mouth and it took more than ten seconds to say. sound.

"What kind of existence will future technology be?"

As for Quevedo at this moment, he was completely stunned on the spot, looking at the light curtain in front of Tripp looking a little absent-minded, not daring to believe his eyes.

No matter what, he couldn't imagine that future technology could actually build a virtual world that could only exist in science fiction movies, and only needed a virtual helmet to log in. Thinking that he had to deal with the Sky Island before, he was suddenly struck by his own stupidity. The thought startled me.

It is well known that Yanfang likes to hide his clumsiness the most.

Often the technologies announced are obsolete.

Always like to keep a trump card.

Now think about the future technology that can build a space elevator grandly and build a virtual world that is almost real, then what kind of powerful thing is its hidden trump card.

I'm afraid that if he had ignored the order and attacked Dentian Island that day, he would have been dead long ago.

Even the entire force may be wiped out.

Or disappear directly from the earth star.

After all, the action against Dentian Island was equivalent to giving them a reason to take action.

With his mind running at a high speed, Quevedo was suddenly frightened by his thoughts. If he hadn't been in the virtual world at this time, he would have soaked his clothes in cold sweat.

After calming down for a while, he finally gained some strength, and said to Tripp with admiration: "General, your original decision was correct. Yanfang has future technology, and it is indeed no longer something we can provoke." ”

"If you hadn't seen everything in time and promised future technology to accept confrontation in the virtual world, I'm afraid we would have paid a heavy price."

"As long as you understand."

Seeing that Quevedo seemed to be a different person, Tripp was also very pleased. He glanced at him first, and then expressed sincere emotion with a complicated expression.

"With future technology, the rise of the East is unstoppable. No matter what the outcome of this confrontational exercise is, we must correct our attitude and try our best to establish cooperation with them and follow their footsteps, otherwise it will be self-inflicted Perish."

When he said these words, Tripp also felt very scared.

He was thinking about what the situation would have been like for Dixing if he had not agreed to the other party's proposal during the conversation with Xu Lei that day.

I'm afraid that even if you pay a huge price, it will be difficult to have much impact on it.

The key point is that if this happens, they may completely lose their current voice and become little fat sheep that no longer have influence among the many forces on the planet. That will be the most desperate time.

After all, they still have many enemies.

In general, after experiencing the virtual world personally, the two people's impressions of future technology have completely changed.

There will definitely be no more ideas for future technologies in the future.

On the contrary, they will try their best to curry favor with them, and it is best to have future technology relocated to them.

In the following time, the two of them carefully experienced this novel virtual world before voluntarily exiting their consciousness and returning to the real world.

The main and huge Lajiaoer base was just the two of them, which seemed a bit boring.

"According to the news from Future Technology, the confrontation exercise will be held in three days. Please select suitable personnel to participate as soon as possible." The first thing Tripp did after taking off his virtual helmet was to give orders to Hayden and Quevedo. , but in his opinion, his side would most likely lose, so he didn't care too much about it and just went through the motions.

Anyway, he has already made up his mind. After this confrontation is over, he will personally establish cooperation with future technology in multiple fields, and will also open up green channels.

It would be better for Future Technology to set up branches overseas.

Since Quevedo's thoughts have undergone earth-shaking changes, he immediately responded after hearing this order: "It's the commander-in-chief. I will seize the time to make arrangements." Such a smooth and impatient performance can be said to be a sea of ​​​​seeing. Deng was stunned for a while.

I wonder why this guy suddenly changed so drastically.

But after all, it was the commander-in-chief's decision, so he couldn't ask too much, so he could only nodded: "Okay, commander-in-chief, I will cooperate with Chief Quevedo."

And just when the matter was decided, Tripp's feet suddenly stopped as he was about to leave.

Then as if he thought of something again, he stopped and turned around again to focus on Hayden: "There is one more thing I want to give you to complete. Invite experts in related fields to conduct research on these virtual helmets."

After seeing the virtual world, he was shocked by the miraculous change.

While I am in awe of future technology, I inevitably have some more thoughts in my mind.

If he could conquer the manufacturing technology of virtual helmets, it would definitely be something worth celebrating, so he specially ordered such a task.

But he never expected that within just a few seconds after issuing the order, he would get Hayden's answer.

Although this answer is very disappointing.

"Report to the Chief."

"According to my judgment, the virtual helmet is only equivalent to a key. The key is the virtual world built by future technology. They have powerful artificial intelligence as the core of the operation. We have no conditions to copy it. What's more, if we rashly disassemble the virtual helmet, will this happen? It will affect the confrontation mission three days later."

After all, Hayden is also the head of NASA and has conducted in-depth research in many fields.

After getting these virtual helmets, although he did not personally experience their actual effects, he could basically analyze a lot of content based on the external information and the performance of Quevedo and the two.

It can only be said that with their current technological level, let alone disassembling virtual helmets for research, I am afraid that even if future technology gives them detailed technology, they still will not be able to build a complete virtual world.

Tripp naturally understood the meaning of Hayden's words. Although he felt a little regretful, he could only convince himself to accept it.

"well!"

He sighed heavily, and then told Hayden: "In that case, let's let this matter go." After saying that, he turned around and exited the war room.

After watching the figure of the commander completely disappear from sight, Hayden turned his attention to Quevedo and said with a smile: "I don't know how Chief Quevedo will allocate the personnel involved in this operation. I will definitely cooperate fully." .”

"I'll give you the list." Faced with Hayden's smiling face, Quevedo acted quite coldly.

In the end, I just left this sentence and didn't wait for long.

For him, although he is very aware of the power of future technology, he still hopes that he can lead the team to this victory.

Therefore, he will be very energetic when it comes to the arrangement of personnel structure and combat strategy.

…

Three days later.

Under the control of Xingtong, the core of the virtual world, 200,000 internal beta users who logged in using virtual helmets were divided into red and blue sides and appeared in their respective areas.

Because at this time, everyone must have a detailed understanding of the virtual world, so that as soon as it went online, everyone began to make arrangements intensively. Whether it was fighter jets or aircraft carrier fleet missile systems, they were all in a state of activation. They planned to use this opportunity to test the weapons and force. Have a fight.

Anyway, in the virtual world, there is no need to worry about damage to buildings and environmental pollution, and there is no participation of ordinary people, so you can use as much force as you want.

Even if the participant is injured and dies, they will only exit the virtual world.

However, it is worth mentioning that due to the special nature of this game, there is definitely no way to broadcast it live, so a certain amount of video will only be released after it is completely over.

But even the video is enough to promote the virtual helmet and completely cause everyone to go crazy.

certainly.

The outside world cannot watch this exciting confrontation, but it is not worth mentioning here. With Xingtong, the whole world can watch it from a God's perspective.

at the same time.

Binjiang City.

Longfor Hi-tech Park Headquarters Building.

In the living room of the inner room where Xu Lei lived, Xu Lei, Chen Shi, He Xingtong and the others were seen sitting on the sofa. There were various snacks and drinks on the table in front of them, except for the cut seedless watermelon.

In front of them was a huge holographic screen.

"Mr. Xu, can we really win?" Chen Shihe, who was slightly uneasy, looked at several high-speed sixth-generation fighter jets on the holographic screen, with a look of worry on his face.

Although this is a battle in a virtual world, she also doesn't want to see her red side lose.

For most people, the potential perception of the blue side of Bei Mei is that it is very powerful. They have a more advanced and larger aircraft carrier fleet, and will be at a very strong advantage if a battle occurs at sea.

Mainly, Chen Shihe has not seen the data of the weapons and equipment of both sides, so it is normal to feel uneasy. Xu Lei could only comfort him: "Don't worry, I think there should be no suspense in this confrontation. The winner must belong to the red side. We can rest assured." Just keep watching."

"The boss is right." Xing Tong nodded and agreed.

Chen Shihe didn't know the true strength of both parties, but she knew that Xu Lei would never deceive her, so she quickly calmed down.

As time passed by, under the attention of the three people, the two sides finally fought together in the virtual world.

The first thing to collide was the ghost bird and the blue viper.

Although both are sixth-generation fighters, the intelligent program that comes with the Ghost Bird can be regarded as a simplified version of the Star Pupil, which can calculate the enemy's flight trajectory and automatically lock the attack.

This is absolutely incomparable to the Viper.

Therefore, there was no suspense in the final result. The ghost bird successfully destroyed the viper without much effort.

In addition, due to the limited online time in the virtual world, neither side had the slightest intention to delay. They immediately used their strongest methods from the beginning. Finally, at the eighth hour, the Blue team's base camp was completely destroyed, and almost all personnel were destroyed. All are forced offline.

This game that had no suspense from the beginning finally came to an end.

The very next day, Tripp officially announced that he would sign various agreements with Yanfang and publicly recognize the other party's status to the world.

At the same time, major media released internal test videos of so-called virtual helmets on the Internet.

The successive heavy news were like bombs, leaving the public with no time to react. They just felt their heads were buzzing and they could not imagine how things would change after just one sleep.

Even if this is a good thing, it will take time to digest.

It wasn't until the overwhelming amount of relevant content appeared that everyone finally reacted, and they expressed their excitement online.

"Damn it, why did Lao Te suddenly surrender this time? Does he want to recognize us as big brothers?"

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and he is not stupid!"

"I wonder what Neon's reaction will be when they see this news?"

"Shouldn't the focus of the matter be on the video? Two superpowers used exercises to support the virtual helmets. This shows that the virtual world mentioned by future technology is real."

"If it weren't for the peacefulness during this period, I would have thought everything in the video was true."

"Today is such a good day and we must celebrate it."

"Thousands of people have written this, please beg Mr. Xu to put the virtual helmet on the market as soon as possible. I'm afraid I will have insomnia in the future."

"Who still remembers those players who deleted their Glory game accounts? Suddenly I feel a little sorry for them."

…
