The eight hundred helmets were quickly distributed to everyone.
Under the guidance of the staff, Wang Lihui couldn't wait to connect the power supply. He leaned back on his chair and placed the helmet on his head.
The sound insulation was quite good. This helmet came with an active noise reduction function.
As soon as he put on the helmet, Wang Lihui felt the noise around him recede like a tide. At this moment, a distinctive female voice rang in his ears.
"Please customize your password."
Because the voice was too sudden, Wang Lihui was too excited to react. He subconsciously blurted out.
"What?"
"Custom password set is successful. The password is' what '. If necessary, you can modify it in the personalization section of the settings option. The image interface is starting. "
When Wang Lihui heard the system prompt, he suddenly had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
If he knew this would happen, he would have read the manual before putting it on.
But no matter what, now was not the time to care about these minor issues.
He leaned back on his chair and began to count down.
Soon, the feeling of being bitten by an ant came from the back of his neck, and then his pitch-black field of vision glowed with a white light. It was as if he had broken through a nightmare filled with black fog and arrived in front of a vast beach.
The golden beach glowed with a pale golden light. The sunlight shining through the coconut trees was stretched by the mottled shadows. The wind blowing in his face was so real that he could even smell the saltiness of the sea from the sea breeze that blew through his messy hair.
"Hello, dear user, you are now at the Phantom system startup interface. There are currently four free startup scenarios that you can choose from. You can change them in the personalization settings.
"If this is your first time using the system, you can follow the navigation and familiarize yourself with the operation of the Phantom system.
"We sincerely wish you a perfect experience in the virtual world …"
The system prompt echoed in Wang Lihui's ears, but he didn't seem to hear it at all. He stared straight at the beautiful beach with his eyes wide open.
He couldn't think of a better word to describe what he was feeling at this moment. Everything in front of him had completely exceeded his expectations of VR technology. He even began to wonder if he was dreaming!
Apart from that, the shock in his heart came from another level.
He was a director and had shot quite a few action blockbusters.
For a long time, how to convey the carefree feeling to the audience through the screen had been a difficult problem that they had no choice but to think about. But now, the emergence of this helmet was like a hole in his brain, allowing him to come up with countless ideas for virtual reality.
Instead of letting the audience be separated by a screen, it would be better to let them directly participate in the movie as God or as a character. They could even seamlessly switch between the two according to the rhythm of the movie!
Thinking of this, Wang Lihui's face was full of excitement, and he felt his heart beating faster and faster.
He knew better than anyone that if this technology was used in the media industry, it would bring a huge change to the entire industry! The world's film industry was about to usher in a subversive reshuffle!
…
In fact, virtual reality technology wasn't just affecting the film industry.
From e-commerce to entertainment, everything that was compatible with the word "Internet" could be perfectly integrated with VR technology, and there would be a plus sign at the end.
Wang Lihui was not the only one who was excited. Many people at the scene smelled a strong business opportunity.
The entire press conference turned into a carnival.
Even though everyone was quietly sitting in their seats, one could tell how excited they were just by looking at the emotional fluctuation signals collected by the server.
For some users with abnormal emotional fluctuations, the medical staff was already quietly waiting for them.
In addition to the brain's own protection mechanism, the Phantom system also had an additional safety mode trigger mechanism. Even though there was no direct clinical evidence that excessive emotional stimulation during sleep would cause a heart attack, this was still a press conference, after all, so they had to be prepared.
A man with a foreign face took off his helmet and said to the staff standing next to him in an incredulous voice.
"This is incredible, the moment I put on the helmet, I feel like I'm in an oasis. When do you plan on selling this helmet to the United Arab Emirates?"
The person who spoke was a prince from a kingdom in the United Arab Emirates. Because he often came to China, his Chinese was very good, and he even participated in some China TV shows.
In order to qualify for this press conference, not only did he fly thousands of miles, but he also used diplomatic channels to apply for a special seat ticket.
Of course, Huawei wouldn't reject a rich guy from the desert.
Sure enough, after tasting the immersive virtual reality experience of the Phantom system, the foreign prince was instantly fascinated by this thing. He couldn't wait to ask when this helmet would be introduced to his country.
Faced with this international friend's question, the staff smiled and said.
"This depends on our company's business plan with Star Sky Technology. In theory, the virtual reality network needs to be combined with cloud computing technology, and cloud computing technology needs basic network speed as support. 5G technology is basically universal in China, so we can promote our business faster. As for the United Arab Emirates — "
"Hurry up and build 5G in our country, I'll convince my father! If you are short of money, I can ask our bank to give you a loan first. One billion is not a problem. "
Hearing the one billion, the staff member's hands trembled and he said while sweating profusely.
"Um … I can't make that decision. I have to ask the chairman, can you give me your email or phone number? We'll give you a reply today. "
The prince waved his hand and spoke.
"Go, go, I'll buy this helmet."
The staff member spoke awkwardly.
"But sir, you can't use it in China …"
The prince spoke nonchalantly.
"It's fine, I'll just buy a house nearby. I can take my family's plane over here."
Staff member: "…"
Buying a house just for a helmet …
That's insane!
…
The press conference was in a frenzy.
The convention hall was the same.
As soon as it was time to go on sale, people rushed to the booths. The people who were barely able to maintain their rationality instantly became a mess.
The security guards quickly set up barriers to control the flow of people into the venue to avoid stampedes and other incidents.
At the same time, next to the sales booth, the people squeezing in front of the crowd were about to fight over the helmets.
"Give me ten helmets!" A fierce-looking man who looked rich and imposing charged out of the crowd. Without saying anything, he slapped a bank card on the counter. "Swipe the card and pay. Hurry up."
The staff member looked at the man's five fingers with three big gold rings on them. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still spoke politely and patiently.
"Sorry sir, according to the company's regulations, each person can only buy two helmets at most."
As soon as the man heard that he could only buy two, his eyes immediately widened. He was still thinking of making a fortune by reselling this thing.
"What the hell? Only two helmets? Are you kidding me? I'm rich! "
"Sorry sir, because there are only a total of 100,000 helmets sold here, in order to satisfy the customers, we can only adopt a limited purchase strategy. We have also published the relevant announcement on the official website. "
"How can you do business like this? It's not like I'm not paying! "
"Sorry sir, this is the company's regulations."
Normally, the people in the back would be in the mood to watch the show, but this guy was affecting the mood of everyone in the line. Seeing that the man was going to continue to pester them, their dissatisfaction suddenly erupted from the back.
"Fu * k, a normal person only has one head, is two not enough for you?"
"Ten … Are you buying it to open an internet cafe?"
"That's right, that's right, this guy looks like a scalper. I'm afraid he'll sell it for tens of thousands of yuan. This kind of person is too hateful!"
The man couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He was speechless as he vented his anger on the staff member behind the sales booth.
"I don't care, you're bullying your customers! I have money, yet you don't want to sell, this is discrimination! I'm going to report you to 315! "
"Sir, if you continue to act like this, we may have to call security to talk to you. Also, if you continue to disrupt the order of the exhibition, we may put you on the unfriendly customer list. If it affects your future experience with this product, please forgive us. "
Hearing this, the man who was acting like a nouveau riche finally gave in.
It wasn't the security that made him give up, but the latter part of the blacklist.
Especially when he saw that the people in the back didn't stand on his side and even looked at him with dissatisfaction. The man paid without saying a word, took the two helmets, and squeezed out of the crowd.
The line in the exhibition hall slowly moved forward.
As the first wave of people left the exhibition hall, the next wave was let in. However, even after wave after wave, the line outside the exhibition hall still didn't move forward.
Outside the International Convention and Exhibition Center, in the three-star experience store across the street, a few staff members stood in front of the store with their arms crossed, looking at the dense crowd in the exhibition center from afar.
One of the men, who looked like the store manager, said in an envious tone.
"F * ck, how many people are squeezed in there?"
An employee next to him answered.
"It's at least a hundred thousand."
"This is crazy, is there a need to be so crazy?"
"I heard that the helmet can be sold for twenty thousand on the second-hand market … I saw someone already put up an offer."
As soon as he heard this, the store manager's eyes widened.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The employee was a little nervous from being stared at as he carefully replied.
"You didn't ask … and we're not allowed to take a day off."
Seeing the line getting longer and longer, the store manager gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
"Let's go!"
"Go?"
"There's no one here anyway. Close the store and line up with me!"
Seeing that the store manager was about to take off his uniform and walk across the street, the employee next to him immediately pulled him back and tried to calm him down.
"Store manager, don't get too excited, Store manager! We definitely won't be able to get in the line now! "
That's what he said, but that's twenty thousand!
That's twenty thousand for reselling!
The store manager gritted his teeth and struggled for a while, but he still said firmly.
"How do you know if you don't try? Line up with me! All of you! "
The order of the entire street was in chaos …
