After a while, Xia Shiyu took off the helmet and sat up from the chair.
After thinking about it for a while, she sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I could pull up the exit menu, I would've thought I traveled to another world."
"Experiencing virtual reality for the first time will produce this feeling, but it won't be the case after a while." Jiang Chen smiled.
There was a process of adapting to new things. Jiang Chen remembered the first time he laid in the virtual reality training chamber, he was also anxious. But after using it a few times, he didn't feel anything anymore.
Holding the helmet, Xia Shiyu gently stroked the streamlined surface as she murmured in a dreamy voice.
"Traditional VR equipment can also achieve immersive virtual reality, but it's also based on physics. For example, the helmet blocks vision and hearing, and the hand is equipped with sensors … But this is the first time I've heard of equipment that directly puts the body into a deep sleep and connects the mind to the virtual world. Images and sounds don't need to pass through the retina and eardrum, all senses stay at the brain level. While playing the game, the body is asleep … It's too sci-fi. "
"Is that so? Then guess how many players will there be in Godly Land? "Jiang Chen said proudly.
Xia Shiyu shook her head. "I can't estimate, but one thing is certain. As long as the helmet isn't ridiculously expensive, it won't be a problem to break the Guinness World Record. "
"I think so too." Jiang Chen smiled.
Xia Shiyu paused and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Do you think virtual reality can only be used in games?"
Jiang Chen was intrigued by Xia Shiyu's words.
"What do you mean?"
"PC, smartphone, and tablet – these electronic products simplify people's social activities. With just a chat software, two people thousands of miles apart can feel like they're standing face to face." Xia Shiyu put the helmet aside, looked at Jiang Chen, and said seriously, "And in this virtual reality helmet, it can allow two people thousands of miles apart to ignore the distance and 'truly' stand face to face. Aside from the game, the helmet itself is a revolutionary product. "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment. He didn't think about this question, and no one ever mentioned it to him. Since in front of virtual reality technology, the people on the wasteland were much calmer.
"You mean this thing can replace smartphones?" Jiang Chen laughed. "That's unlikely. After all, the phone can be used anywhere. This thing can only be used at home. Also, if I remember correctly, VR equipment was available two years ago. "
In fact, the virtual reality technology in the modern world wasn't rare. The prevalence rate in China may be very low, but if you look outside the wall, this thing is actually not as science fiction as you think.
For example, the selling point of CCP's new virtual reality game, Eve: Valkyrie, was "space VR", and the game had been in closed beta on January 18, 2016. Players who had purchased the Oculus Rift DK2 could participate in the closed beta after registering on the official website.
In fact, virtual reality games weren't as far away from us as ten years ago. Many console games were trying to be compatible with VR devices.
The news that "2016 will be the year of virtual reality explosion" was not false at all.
"It's not the same." Xia Shiyu shook her head. "The difference is like the flip phone can't shake the PC's position, but smartphones can."
She paused, looked into Jiang Chen's eyes, and said seriously.
"The virtual reality helmet you took out is similar to the 'smart machine' of VR devices. It's not realistic to replace smartphones, but it's more than enough to threaten their market position. "
Although Jiang Chen was mentally prepared to turn the page in history, when he heard Xia Shiyu say it herself, he was still excited.
"This virtual reality helmet is like a key that can bring people's sleeping time to another dimension. With the same lifespan, a person's' alive 'time will increase by eight hours. Not only games, but we can also use virtual reality equipment to create online communities, shopping platforms, virtual real estate, and even things that we've never imagined before … "
Xia Shiyu took a deep breath as excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Now, do you know why I'm so excited?"
Jiang Chen was also shocked by Xia Shiyu's words. When he received the virtual reality helmet, he only wanted to use it to play games, but he didn't think that far ahead. But when he heard Xia Shiyu's words, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes, not just games. Socializing, even basic necessities, if it was based on the virtual reality helmet, everything was possible! The virtual reality was like an unmined gold mine, and only Future Technology could touch this gold mine.
"We will create history," Jiang Chen said softly.
"That's right!" Xia Shiyu excitedly held onto Jiang Chen's hands.
"…"
Time paused for five seconds.
Xia Shiyu slowly let go of his hands, put her fist under her lips, and coughed. Her eyes drifted to the side.
"Sorry, I was too excited …"
She pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed the panic in her heart.
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded as he stared at her blankly.
[Sweat.] [Is this really Xia Shiyu?]
[No, shouldn't we be thinking about how to react?]
Just as the two fell into awkwardness, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"There's a visitor outside." Ayesha looked at the two with a smile as she leaned against the door frame.
[She saved the situation at the right time!] Jiang Chen thanked Ayesha in his mind.
"I'll go take a look at the door. You can study the virtual reality helmet first." Jiang Chen smiled at Xia Shiyu as he left the gym.
Xia Shiyu stared blankly at the direction Jiang Chen left as her eyes stopped on Ayesha standing at the door.
Speaking of which, she hadn't spoken to her since she entered the room.
Xia Shiyu awkwardly squeezed out a smile and greeted her. "Hi …"
She didn't know what expression to use to face this girl.
Or rival in love.
Ayesha responded with a friendly smile as she gently said, "I already cleaned up the room for you. If you need any help, you can tell me."
Facing the smile without any hostility, Xia Shiyu felt a hint of shame for the hostility in her heart.
"Do you hate me if you don't eat?"
When she heard Xia Shiyu's words, Ayesha tilted her head. "Why would I hate you?"
"For example … because I'm jealous." Xia Shiyu looked away.
She didn't dare to look directly at the azure eyes.
But Ayesha only gently shook her head.
"Are you not worried that I'll steal him away?" Xia Shiyu couldn't help but ask.
"You finally admitted your feelings?" Ayesha retorted.
Xia Shiyu paused for a moment as the blush climbed from her ears to her neck.
But this time, she didn't back down. She didn't want to show her weakness in front of her "rival in love."
Seeing that she didn't deny it, a smile appeared on Ayesha's cold face.
She walked to Xia Shiyu's side as she tiptoed and whispered into her ear.
"Tonight, I'll let you have him."
Xia Shiyu first paused.
By the time she came back to her senses, her brain had already crashed …
