Chapter 310: The whole country is shocked, the virtual era has arrived!
It is human nature to like watching fun.
As soon as the show started at 8 p.m., the number of viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed to an unprecedented level, even far exceeding those top internet celebrities who have been operating for several years.
Even the top executives of major manufacturers take time out of their busy schedules to sit at home and watch TV.
Wait until the news show is over.
The two hosts also appeared on the screen.
"Good evening, everyone."
"Good evening."
"Today is April 30th, Sunday, March 11th of the lunar calendar. Welcome to the evening news program."
"The main content of today's program is..."
The familiar opening process and the classic rhetoric that have been heard for countless years now sound completely different to netizens.
Everyone listened attentively to the main content summaries reported by the two hosts.
A series of well-known hot topics such as inspections by superior leaders, conference speeches, policy promulgation, exhibitions, food safety, etc.
Just when everyone was falling asleep, an unfamiliar name suddenly popped up without any warning.
"…to improve scientific and technological development and create a harmonious future, the Institute has recently joined hands with various research departments to achieve major breakthroughs in brain-computer technology. The above is the main content of tonight."
audience:???
WTF?
"Wait a minute, I think I heard something incredible just now?"
"I heard that, too."
"It seems to be...brain-computer technology?"
"What the hell! Brain-computer technology! Virtual technology!?"
"Is this true? Is this thing really made?"
"Fuck me! Don't tell me the recent big move was because of this!"
"What should I do? I'm so nervous now."
"Isn't it true?"
At this moment, all the audience began to breathe rapidly.
Although they could hardly believe that the technology would be developed so quickly.
But what if?
What if they really figure it out?
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, they would rather believe it is true.
Not to mention the majority of game players.
My heart was in my throat.
My eyes were drawn to the news and I dared not look away for fear of missing out on any important information.
In comparison.
People abroad who are paying attention to this matter are becoming a little uneasy.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"That kind of technology will never be developed!"
Roars of anger echoed across countries, with no one believing that brain-computer technology would be available so soon.
But anyway.
Their attention is also completely absorbed by the news.
And at this time.
The two hosts' reporting continues.
For a full twenty minutes, the development status of various places was promoted, which was no different from usual. The people watching were drowsy, but no one was willing to leave the live broadcast room.
Even Old Song, who just got home from get off work, sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV nervously.
"Next, let's take a look at a set of news updates."
Suddenly, the host changed the subject and ended the report on the situation in various places.
"In April, my country's cutting-edge technology achieved a major breakthrough. The Institute of Science, the School of Medicine, the School of Biology and other departments jointly issued a document that the first stable brain-computer device has been manufactured and will soon be put into mass production. Let us celebrate this historic moment!"
Here we come!
All the audiences across the country were shocked and their eyes widened instantly.
Although the two hosts were trying their best to keep the broadcast smooth, everyone could feel the slight tremor in their voices, and even the pitch was much higher than before.
But they didn't pay attention to these things, but were completely shocked by the content of the broadcast.
Brain-computer devices.
It’s really made!
I'm afraid they haven't woken up yet!
Without waiting for anyone to think about it.
The scene switched again and came to the inside of the research institute.
A group of researchers cheered loudly and cried with joy.
In the center of the crowd, there was a giant device filled with instrument lines, like a recliner, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The emergence of brain-computer devices plays a vital role in the development of our country."
"The state approval document states that it will vigorously develop this technology and apply it to medicine as soon as possible to increase the success rate of treatment for brain disease patients."
"We also specially invite a large number of scientific research teams to jointly carry out follow-up research and development in other directions..."
At this point, netizens no longer cared about what the host said.
Instead, he stared at the live interview screen. A research assistant, with an excited look on his face, sat on a chair and started the equipment.
Then.
The screen next to it lights up.
It was the image of the assistant who suddenly appeared in front of the empty screen, waving to everyone, making various gestures, and communicating verbally.
It was obviously just an ordinary scene, but it made netizens who were watching the live broadcast suddenly stand up and dance with excitement.
“I made it! I really made it!!”
"This, this, this, isn't this virtual stealth technology?"
"Oh my god! Give me a slap and see if I'm dreaming!"
"Calm down, calm down, I want to be cool... Calm down, my ass!"
"In my lifetime, in my lifetime!"
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving me birth to this era, woooooo..."
"Oh my God! Is this true?"
“The virtual age is coming soon!”
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Crazy.
Netizens went completely crazy.
All kinds of screams, exclamations and cries echoed everywhere, and the whole country was in shock!
Overseas forums exploded with shock and doubt sweeping the world, and top leaders held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
no way.
This news is really too shocking.
They are well aware of the impact it will have on current industries once it becomes popular.
Otherwise, several international groups such as Microsoft and others would not have vigorously promoted the concept of the "metaverse" in the first place. It was because they knew the huge potential it contained that they took advantage of it in advance.
But now.
But suddenly I heard that someone had already figured it out.
Naturally, they couldn't sit still and began to contact Chinese senior officials to inquire about the situation.
A news report that shocked the world ended after ten minutes, leaving the Internet in a state of complete uproar.
Just a moment.
This news dominated the top ten hot searches.
Just browse any major forum or media and you will see the screen full of related topics, emerging like a flash flood or tsunami.
The game live broadcast room is even crazier. When you click in, you will hear the host’s excited voice and the screen is full of barrages.
Tonight is for them.
It's bound to be a sleepless night.
…
"It actually... happened."
It took a long time for Old Song in front of the TV to come back to his senses.
I picked up the water cup next to me and wanted to drink some water to calm myself, but I found that my hands were shaking as if I had Parkinson's disease for ten years, and the water splashed out of the cup.
Vaguely.
You can also hear shouts coming from the neighboring community, and the sound can be heard on every floor.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and calmed down quickly.
He turned off the TV, said goodbye to his wife, went into the study, closed the door, and started the three-person video conference between Chen Lin and Lao Li to discuss the next plan together.
"Quick! Everyone gather in the company for a meeting tonight!"
"Don't sleep! How can you still sleep after such a big thing happened?"
"It's coming, the virtual age is really coming!"
“This is definitely the biggest industry trend in decades!”
"Our chance has come!"
Companies in all walks of life were in chaos at the moment. Before they even finished dinner, they were called back to the company by their bosses for emergency meetings.
Especially the gaming industry, which is more excited than anyone else.
Because virtual technology and games have always been deeply bound together, and the first thing that comes to mind when it is mentioned is games .
If you can ride on the trend of the times, taking off on the spot will be no problem, and you can even achieve a class leap in one step!
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you can still sleep, it's not because you are careless, but because there is something missing in your brain.
As expected.
After the initial excitement.
A large number of player comments began to appear under all official game accounts, asking whether there were any intentions to enter the virtual field in the future.
The enthusiasm is unprecedented.
They were so frightened that they quickly drew up an emergency plan.
Then early the next morning, the business giant Penguin issued an announcement, announcing that it would soon invest a large amount of money in the development of the virtual industry.
Other well-known large companies are not to be outdone and have issued similar announcements, preparing to enter the virtual industry.
In short, it doesn’t matter whether it can succeed or not.
Let’s take advantage of the popularity first.
Then we sent people to the institute's headquarters for technical consultation.
"How is it? What do they say over there?"
Inside the Penguin conference room, a group of senior executives were waiting there, looking nervous.
"We can conduct our own research and provide some non-core technical support, and prepare for civilian use," the expatriate said over a video call.
"However, the above research direction is mainly in the medical field. If we want to realize virtual equipment, we have to overcome technologies such as deep sleep, information simulation, body sensory transmission, and image loading and reading. It is difficult to develop it in a short period of time."
"It doesn't matter. As long as we get started, it'll be fine. The shareholders are very supportive of this project. With our financial resources, we will definitely be able to research it ahead of other competitors."
It's more than just support.
Their phones were almost blown away by calls from shareholders.
They said that this project must be developed and that any amount of money would be given, as if the money would not be given away at all if it was given too slowly.
Those money-hungry guys are obviously aware of the terrifying profits contained in the virtual industry, so how could they sit still?
Even many companies on the verge of bankruptcy received .
If you say.
Who is the calmest here?
That must be Honghuang Studio without a doubt.
Early in the morning.
Except for Old Song and Old Li who have dark circles under their eyes.
Everyone came to the studio early as usual.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw employees gathered in groups of three or five, discussing heatedly what happened yesterday.
"You don't know, I almost dropped my phone when I was watching the news yesterday."
"Haha, me too. I was halfway through my takeaway and my hand shook and it was gone."
"The internet is going crazy right now, this topic is everywhere."
"Virtual technology, I feel that our gaming industry is going to flourish and become a top-notch industry."
“Wake up, we don’t know if we can make a virtual device within two years.”
"Yeah, it depends on who makes it first. Even if it's only 30% realistic, it will probably take off directly."
Virtual technology is never achieved overnight, but it requires realism, or to put it more bluntly, the degree of authenticity.
The 100% realism of online novels can only be achieved when it is developed to the extreme, just like dreaming, which is only about 5%.
So they can already imagine that when virtual devices come out, it will be an era of simulation.
At the same time, I am also very curious whether Honghuang will also conduct virtual technology research and development like those big companies.
After all, everyone wants to stand on this big opportunity of the times.
"I just saw Director Song rushing to the publicity department."
At this moment, a female employee who had just returned from the restroom suddenly spoke up.
"I went to the publicity department right after I got to work? Could it be..."
Everyone was shocked, and then they were delighted.
Just as they expected.
Not long after.
Below the official account of Honghuang, a message was also released by other major companies.
However, this piece of news was a little different from the others and immediately attracted the attention of countless players.
[Honghuang Studio (official): There is news about virtual technology everywhere, so let’s join in the fun. The new role-playing action game “Sword Art Online” is about to be launched. If you are a man, go to the 100th floor! ]
