In the end, Duan Siqi decided to go.
He could go to the library every day, and he would have the chance to study the questions every day. However, it would be a waste if he didn't go to this invitation that he had exchanged the rest of his life's luck for.
Not to mention, the fact that Ji Mo joined God Lu's research project had a huge impact on him.
Although he knew that there was no need for him to treat a person of this level as a competitor, he could not ignore his existence since he could see this kid wandering around in front of him every day!
It wasn't that he was giving up.
It was just that he felt like it would be better for him if he changed his mood …
Soon, it was the last Saturday of the month.
Duan Siqi finished his course assignments a day early. He got up early and ate some breakfast. He then went to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which wasn't far from Jin Ling University.
Even though Duan Siqi had heard of this world-famous academic mecca, this was his first time coming here as an undergraduate student.
After he showed the invitation letter in his hand, the security guard quickly took him to the virtual reality experience center.
When he arrived, he was immediately surprised by the sea of people inside the experience center.
In addition to the 30 experimenters that were scheduled to participate in the closed beta testing, there were also a dozen researchers, staff members, and security guards.
He thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect to see so many people already.
Duan Siqi looked at the busy experience center and had a nervous expression on his face. He didn't know what to do.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should ask someone about the situation here, a staff member in his thirties or forties, wearing a white coat, took the initiative to walk over to him, looked at him against the photo on the list, and asked.
"You're Duan Siqi?"
Duan Siqi nodded and said, "… Yes."
"I'm the person in charge here. The closed beta testing is about to begin. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the equipment, come with me."
Duan Siqi: "Okay."
Actually, using the equipment was very simple; there were only three steps.
Lie on the bed, put on the helmet, press the power button, and then you could enter the virtual reality world.
The closed beta testing was about to begin.
Duan Siqi followed the researchers' instructions and laid down on the virtual reality device. He took a deep breath and relaxed his muscles.
Just when he was worried that he would not be able to enter the virtual reality world because he couldn't sleep, he felt like he was being bitten by an ant.
Just as he subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch it, his body suddenly sank.
It was as if his soul had left his body. After a short period of sluggishness, his consciousness quickly crossed from one door to another, passing through endless darkness and arriving at a world he had never seen before.
Beneath his feet was a six-lane highway. There was not a single car on the road, and it was surrounded by towering skyscrapers. It was probably a futuristic city.
Besides him, there were many other people standing here.
The one closest to him was a foreign beta tester.
The blonde lady, who looked a bit like a streamer on YouTube, widened her eyes in disbelief. She kept repeating some exclamation words while groping her body with her hands.
He had to admit that this scene was a bit … inappropriate, so he politely looked away.
But then again, this thing was too realistic.
Even the appearance in the real world could be perfectly restored. He really couldn't understand how this could be done.
Reading the information released from the brain waves?
Or is it the active mapping of the subconscious through hints?
Or is the helmet itself equipped with a camera-like scanning device that helps the user's image when registering the user's information?
Duan Siqi reached out and touched his cheek. He couldn't help but feel emotional.
The last time he felt this way was probably at the Shanghai World Expo.
He forgot which company it was. He only remembered that when he was still in elementary school, he followed his father to a certain exhibition hall. Through a head-mounted remote control device, he used his brain waves to control the remote control car to speed on the track.
He couldn't describe how shocked he was at that time.
Now, only a little more than ten years later, he felt the same shock again.
I didn't expect technology to be this advanced.
"This is crazy."
…
After a busy day, it was already eight o 'clock at night when he returned to his dorm.
Their job was very simple. Basically, based on their profession in real life, the on-site staff would assign them some special tasks to complete in specific scenes.
For example, his identity was a college student, and he was assigned two scenes, one was a library, and the other was a classroom. So in general, his task today could be summarized as listening to a mathematics lecture in the classroom and spending a leisurely afternoon in the library.
This kind of experience was really thought-provoking.
Originally, he planned to participate in this closed beta test to slack off, but he didn't expect to finish the closed beta test in the library.
The next closed beta test was scheduled for next Saturday.
Due to the large number of equipment, the researchers at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study said that they would split up their time into weekends and allocate continuous testing time to foreign closed beta testers.
Apparently, the next closed beta testers would experience things that they had never experienced before in real life. Thinking about it carefully, it was quite exciting.
Duan Siqi thought back to what he saw and heard during the day. He leaned on his bed and looked at his phone. He suddenly sighed emotionally.
"This is incredible …"
Even though they were only testing a very simple game, in his eyes, it wasn't just a game.
Shopping, entertainment, finance, public services, even education, military, politics, etc. A series of things that only existed in the real world could be projected into the virtual reality world.
This was just the beginning.
As for the future …
He looked at the stars outside the window and couldn't help but have a look of anticipation in his eyes.
He couldn't help but open Weibo, which he rarely used, and edit his thoughts. He attached the photos he took this morning, set up a virtual reality hashtag, and clicked the send button.
He was surprised to find out that in just one minute, his single digit number of followers had increased to ten digits …
Under the desk lamp, Ji Mo was thinking hard in front of a draft paper. He stretched his back and turned off the desk lamp. He then climbed up the ladder and climbed onto his bed.
Ever since he joined Academician Lu's research project, he had been like this every day for the past two weeks. Every day, he was either talking to himself in front of a draft paper late into the night, or he was nowhere to be seen.
Duan Siqi listened to the sound of snoring coming from outside the mosquito net. He saw that his friends were all asleep. He rubbed his eyebrows and threw his phone aside to charge. He then closed his eyes.
The lights in dorm 201 were out.
While most of the people in the city were asleep, Lu Zhou, who was far away in Zhongshan International, was yawning. He finally uploaded his first thesis — Research on motive theory.
Almost at the same time, after the first "public" closed beta test of virtual reality technology came to an end, the entire world was shocked …
