The video of the battle was preserved.
The day after the test, the video was played back to Minister Qin, who came to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, in the form of virtual reality.
But this time, everyone, including Li Gaoliang and the nine soldiers, became NPCs.
At the same time, there were two Lu Zhou standing in the cabin. One was an NPC, which was him standing on the bridge at the time, and the other was an invisible spectator like Minister Qin.
The lecture was over.
After Li Gaoliang yelled "go", Lu Zhou took Minister Qin to the command cabin of the starship's bridge. He watched the entire battle through the only operational viewing device.
Honestly speaking.
The battle with the bugs was quite tragic.
Even though Lu Zhou had already watched it once, he couldn't help but mourn for Li Gaoliang's "heroic sacrifice".
Minister Qin's eyebrows twitched when he saw the sharp claws tear through the Marines' armor like paper. After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask.
After a while, he asked, "Doesn't it hurt …?"
This was different from the last time he experienced this device.
At this moment, he could even feel the warm air blowing from the top of the gas exchanger.
Everything here was so real, so real that he almost couldn't tell the difference.
When he saw the tragic scene, even though he was hundreds of kilometers away in the virtual world, he still couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Usually not."
Lu Zhou stood next to the holographic console. He reached out his hand and pointed a few times in the air. He looked at the shattered space around him and spoke in a calm tone.
"You can recall the feeling of your last dream. There is a limit to the stimulation that the nervous system can withstand in a dream. Whether it's pain, temperature, or holding back urine, when these stimuli reach the extent of triggering the nervous system's protective mechanism, you won't feel anything. Instead, you will directly wake up from the dream.
"In terms of formation mechanism, this virtual reality device is similar to a dream guide. If you experience pain or other sensations, and your brain waves exceed the synchronization range of the neural modem, both the brain and the terminal will lose connection with each other."
When Minister Qin heard this, he sighed in relief.
The replay of the battle video ended.
After leaving the virtual reality device, Minister Qin took off his helmet and sat up.
"I only see the positive side of this technology." He stared at the helmet in his hand for a long time. He looked up at Lu Zhou and said in a serious tone, "In fact, it's not perfect, right?"
"Of course."
If it were someone else, they would probably ignore this question. However, Lu Zhou wasn't interested in hiding these details. He nodded casually and admitted it.
"Actually, I just talked to Li Gaoliang about this yesterday. Even though this virtual reality training program can carry out strategic simulations, it can't completely replace live-fire training. Things like muscle memory and battlefield intuition can't be accumulated in the virtual world. "
Minister Qin had a thoughtful look on his face. He nodded.
"I know what you mean."
As long as humans still played the role of the protagonist of the war, and the obligation to kill and protect had not been completely replaced by machines, the limitations of this device would exist.
However, even so, the application prospects in the field of national defense were quite fascinating.
Suppose an overseas embassy was hijacked, they only needed a map, a building blueprint, and limited intelligence. They could even use a site model that had been prepared in advance. This way, they could conduct enough tactical simulations before the rescue operation began.
This way, whether it was the people being rescued or the orbital paratroopers, the survival rate would be greatly increased.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke.
"… In addition to the limitations of the use, the technology itself has high requirements for computer hardware. Most personal computers can't handle this amount of data. They have to use at least 'server' level or even 'supercomputer' level hardware to ensure the stable operation of the virtual reality system.
"However, even though there is a problem of excessive computation, I believe that with further optimization of the entire operating system, this problem will be solved sooner or later.
"Not to mention, even if this problem can't be solved, it won't have a big impact on the promotion of this technology. Cloud computing is also one of the major trends in the future of the Internet. After the promotion of 5G is completed, we can completely integrate the virtual reality network into the 5G strategy. The computing work will be handed over to the central server, and the helmet will only be used as a signal receiving terminal. "
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Minister Qin took a deep breath and spoke in a serious tone.
"… I have to thank you on behalf of a lot of people."
"There's no need to thank me." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "As long as it is used for peaceful purposes, it is the greatest thank you to the people who invented it."
Minister Qin nodded solemnly and spoke.
"I can promise you this."
…
Minister Qin didn't stay at the Institute for Advanced Study for too long. After chatting with Lu Zhou about the possible application of the virtual reality system in the national defense field, Minister Qin left to catch a plane back to Beijing.
Coincidentally, Director Li from the State Administration for National Defense was also here today. When he saw Lu Zhou coming back, he smiled and put down his teacup.
"Done talking?"
"Done." Lu Zhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He said, "The equipment department plans on ordering a batch, and they want us to cooperate with them to compile the training program —"
Director Li quickly said, "You don't have to tell me about this."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's not a secret … Fine, it's a bit confidential, but you have the right to know, right?"
Director Li coughed and said, "Good thing I do … I think it's better if you don't guess."
"Okay then, I'm being rude."
Director Li changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, how is the development of your virtual reality technology going?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "The compilation of the virtual reality system has been completed. Whether it's for military or civilian use, it's just that I don't know when to promote this technology."
There was no doubt that once virtual reality technology was developed to the point where it could be seamlessly connected to the real world, it would have a disruptive impact on the modern Internet system.
Not only would it change people's understanding of the Internet, but it would also completely change the way people entered the Internet and experienced the Internet.
Disruptive technology was bound to have a disruptive impact.
In fact, Lu Zhou wasn't sure if this technology was ready to deal with all of these challenges.
Director Li nodded thoughtfully and drank his tea. He didn't speak for a while.
However, just when Lu Zhou thought that he had learned everything he needed to know, he suddenly spoke.
"About the previous question."
Lu Zhou: "Which one?"
"Actually, before we came here, we had a meeting about promoting this technology to civilian use."
Director Li paused for a second and looked at Lu Zhou, who was deep in thought. He said, "Our suggestion is that, in addition to strengthening regulation in some areas, the positive value of this technology is greater. It's fine as long as the technology is almost mature. There's no need to wait until it's absolutely safe. "
"It would be a shame if someone else took the lead!"
