The system message prompt of the holographic glasses was extremely rare.
It had only appeared twice since its launch, and if the user was using the glasses, there would only be a voice prompt. The user had to wait for the user to switch out before they could read it.
It was precisely because the message was so rare that users would switch out the moment they heard the prompt and couldn't wait to know the content of the message.
An invitation letter from the virtual world:
This was a letter floating in front of the user of the holographic glasses. When the user grabbed the letter with his hand and wanted to tear it open.
Only then did they realize that there was no content in the envelope. Instead, it turned into spots of starlight, illuminating a different world in front of them.
A brand new world in the Fantasy Prairie.
"This is a brand new world."
A beautiful voice sounded, and the Fantasy Prairie world gradually changed into another appearance.
"There is anything you can imagine here."
A snowy mountain appeared in front of the users. At the top of the snowy mountain, there was a black dragon circling around. When the dragon passed over the users' heads, they could clearly see a warrior wrapped in golden armor riding on the dragon's neck.
"This place is full of endless wonders and can also make any of your dreams come true."
The world changed again and became a bustling commercial street.
There were beautiful, sci-fi single-person aircraft shuttling in the sky, and all kinds of strange creatures strolling around on the streets paved with glass-like smooth floors.
There were elves.
There were orcs.
There were fairies.
There were even sword immortals three feet above the ground.
"..."
All the users who saw this invitation letter had their eyes gradually blurred, and their thoughts gradually drifted away.
As the world changed, their breathing became heavier and heavier.
This is...
The real virtual world that countless people have been looking forward to for a long time is finally opening its doors to them?
At this moment, all the virtual game enthusiasts were rushing to spread the news.
Major gaming companies, major e-commerce platforms, and major Internet companies were urgently holding development meetings related to the virtual world.
In fact, from the moment the holographic glasses were first launched on the market, many people had already realized what kind of subversive changes holographic glasses would bring to the Internet.
The development of technology was inertial and was not subject to human will.
This sentence sounded a bit contradictory, but at least it was still applicable in the current technological society.
We couldn't predict the development of technology a hundred years later, but it was very easy to predict the development of technology in the next ten years.
This was the inertia of technology development.
Among them, it was not based on human will. Simply put, it was not based on the consciousness of those scientific workers.
Just like Konrad Roentgen's discovery of X-rays, it opened the prelude to the development of nuclear physics.
Madame Curie extracted the radioactive substance [Radium].
Einstein's theory of relativity and the mass-energy formula revealed that these radioactive materials contained a huge amount of energy.
With these scientific foundations, humans would definitely try their best to make use of this energy. It could be used to make nuclear bombs or to generate clean energy for the benefit of mankind. Whether the scientists wanted to or not, they could not change the course of this development.
Therefore, Monster Industries introduced holographic glasses and constructed a simple virtual world on the basis of the glasses.
People had already realized that the next generation of Internet technology was bound to be a new world based on the virtual world.
In that place, everything that was originally virtual and did not exist would become reality.
The fans of virtual games hoped that they could experience the joy of becoming a Mage or an immortal there.
The e-commerce platform hoped to turn their online stores into virtual reality so that users could directly appreciate the most realistic appearance of this product in the virtual world. Completely dispelling the consumers who were dissuaded by the situation of "the picture is beautiful, but the product is terrible after receiving it."
The Internet companies wanted to show off their skills in the virtual world, which was waiting to be opened up, and usher in a new development opportunity for their companies.
These various industries and the combined wishes and will of consumers could not be changed even by Monster Industries, who invented the holographic glasses.
If Monster Industries was determined not to develop the virtual world.
Of course they could.
But other technology companies would not sit back and do nothing. They would invest astronomical research funds to study the principle of holographic glasses technology.
If five years were not enough, they would spend ten years.
When they developed a similar device, the virtual world would fall into the hands of others.
Therefore, the development of the virtual world was inevitable.
The sooner the better.
The virtual world was logged in three days later.
However, there was a premise. If users wanted to fully understand the mystery of the virtual world, they had to be equipped with a data terminal.
In this day and age, hardware was king. To play a large-scale 3D game, a computer with at least an i5 processor and a graphics card that cost thousands of yuan was needed. The virtual world was far more complex than the game world and had unlimited freedom.
If users wanted to play the virtual world, they needed more powerful hardware support.
Processor main frequency: 3.6GHz, acceleration frequency: 5.0GHz.
Ten cores, twenty threads.
64 gigabytes of memory.
20 terabytes of storage space and a dedicated graphics card with the most advanced image processing technology.
This graphics card was the core technology. Its process drawings were directly provided by Monster Factory and could perfectly support the image processing work in the virtual world.
The hardware requirements on the technical drawings of the data terminal were slightly lower than the final hardware configuration of the data terminal product launched by Monster Industries.
The storage space was also increased from 10 terabytes to 20 terabytes. After all, the price of hard drives was cheap now. Providing more storage space would also save users the trouble of subsequent upgrades.
So when Monster Industries announced the hardware information of the data terminal, the first reaction of the electronics enthusiasts who knew the industry was …
"Wow, is this for real?"
"Sixty-two thousand, so cheap?"
"Just the graphics card data alone is better than my four Titan XP graphics cards. You know, I spent almost sixty thousand on just four graphics cards."
"The data terminal is independently designed with liquid cooling technology. I'm drooling."
"I'm rich. This configuration can kill the server."
"I just assembled the Yue Hong i9 chassis. My heart is bleeding."
…
Of course ~
After all, hardware enthusiasts were in the minority.
When the virtual terminal valued at sixty-two thousand came out, most people were shocked by the price.
Originally, holographic glasses and spirit gloves had squeezed their wallets dry. Now there was a data terminal that looked particularly powerful. They couldn't afford it even if they wanted to.
Fortunately, the official website of Monster Industries released a hardware introduction announcement for the virtual world.
The announcement said that the purpose of the data terminal was to allow users to experience a more realistic and delicate virtual world, and to experience infinite possibilities and infinite degrees of freedom.
Without the data terminal, users could of course enter the virtual world smoothly, but they couldn't experience those large-scale scenes.
Like watching movies, shopping, socializing, and learning, mobile phones could also be used.
There were only a few users who could afford to spend sixty-two thousand immediately, but no matter how small the number was, it was still a huge number in front of the huge population of Hua Xia.
So as of 12 o 'clock tonight, 300,000 data terminals were reserved.
At the same time, in the Longxitan factory, these data centers that were placed in the warehouse by the warehouse robots in order were also taken out by the robots.
In the special data workshop, a black, cool diamond-shaped data center made of light aluminum alloy was slowly moving along the roller platform.
Their destination was the "multi-axis incubator" platform. Every data center that arrived there would be disassembled by flexible snake-bone manipulators and the storage hard disk would be installed in an orderly manner. These storage hard disks have been solidified with the virtual world client, and users can't perform any deletion or change operations.
At this moment, at the Monster Industries building.
Ji Ke, the general manager of the network department, was leading the technical staff of the department to work overtime to debug the virtual world server.
The virtual world was managed by intelligent AI composed of multiple servers in parallel. At that time, the technical staff of the network department only had the right to supervise and report, and the highest modification authority was in Ye Qing's hands.
There were two days before the virtual world went public.
Two days later, a new, wonderful world would appear in front of users of holographic glasses.
