The virtual helmet.
Chen Jin had long heard of its famous name.
It allowed one to experience reality in a virtual digital world and play large-scale virtual online games.
But in reality, the virtual helmet was still a popular concept. It had never been realized. It had not gone beyond the concept and become a concrete object.
At most, it could mutate into the so-called "VR," where one could immerse oneself in some 3D interactive scenes.
But there was still a long way to go before the legendary "virtual helmet."
To turn the virtual helmet into a real object, the problem of brain wave control and nerve connection had to be solved. Players could move freely in the virtual world, but their bodies couldn't move in reality. Based on the strength of the nerve reaction, the degree of realism had to be 10, 20, 60 … The higher the degree, the better. It would be best if it was infinitely close to 100.
Da Li told Chen Jin that the virtual helmet he was wearing was the eighth generation product produced by Oasis Corporation. Its degree of realism could reach 87.
Among the virtual helmet products, its technical level was considered high.
"A virtual world with an eighty-seven degree of realism. What kind of experience would that be?"
Chen Jin's face was full of yearning.
But even with the virtual helmet, he still couldn't play virtual games.
Because the remote servers were all destroyed or shut down, there was no connection to the network. Without cloud data, he couldn't enter the virtual world with the helmet alone.
To Chen Jin, this was undoubtedly a pity.
"Hey, isn't there a supercomputer in the city hall of the City of Tereese? Does this computer have data? Can it enter the virtual world? "
"That computer may have a virtual system installed, but master, the energy consumption of a supercomputer is very high. It needs at least 100 kilowatts of electricity to start it. We don't have that much power," Da Li said.
"100 kilowatts?"
Chen Jin was a little speechless. It seemed that the lack of electricity in the camp had to be solved urgently! He had to find a way to get some power generating facilities.
"You guys get the supercomputer here first. I will find a way to solve the problem of electricity."
"Yes, master!"
Da Li accepted the task.
Also, he had to speed up the exploration of Haierfa!
In fact, Chen Jin had been doing this all along. After he finished plundering the City of Tereese, he sent out exploration team number two to explore the area within a hundred kilometers of the crater in the Blue Angel and draw a map of the surrounding area.
Yesterday, Exploration Team No. 2 returned to the camp and reported their results.
"Master, the exploration around the camp has been completed. We found 53 abandoned towns, 128 abandoned farms, and one abandoned factory."
Chen Jin's eyes lit up as he asked, "An abandoned factory? What kind of factory is that?"
"A furniture factory, Master."
"Is there any high-value technical information in the factory?"
"No, that factory has been abandoned for a long time, Master."
"Oh ~"
Chen Jin's gaze dimmed. Then, he laughed at himself. What kind of high-tech information could he find in a furniture factory?
If he could find a heavy industry factory or a munitions factory, he would definitely be able to reap a bountiful harvest!
Therefore, he had to speed up his exploration of the outside world.
Only the road leading to the City of Tereese was unimpeded on the east side of the road. Following that road to the south, a road bridge was destroyed due to the war, making it impassable.
Heading north, a few miles out of the City of Tereese, there was a large scale car accident and traffic jam. The road was full of all kinds of wrecked vehicles. The length of the road was more than ten kilometers, and there was no way to pass.
Da Li told Chen Jin that there was a medium-sized city called Fort Worth 120 kilometers north of the City of Tereese, with a population of more than 500,000. The traffic jams on the northern highway were probably coming from Fort Worth.
This was because the campsite under Chen Jin's feet used to be a large underground refuge base. When the war came, the surrounding people would flee here.
"Fort Worth City?"
"More than 500,000 people?"
Two words popped up in Chen Jin's mind: fat sheep.
It was a fat sheep with a big body.
He had the idea and the urge to plunder Fort Worth City.
But the highway was jammed and impassable. The Blue Angel, with its lower chassis, would not be able to take the Gobi Plain next to the highway. It could easily break down or malfunction.
Chen Jin's gaze fell on a large agricultural vehicle that looked like a combine harvester.
As an agricultural city, there were many large agricultural machines in the City of Tereese. They were large in size, high in the ground, and could easily pass through the wilderness. After some modifications, they would be more suitable for exploring the planet.
Chen Jin planned to repair one of the agricultural machines and use it as an exploration vehicle to explore the planet.
However, remodeling an Explorer was a very technical task.
Chen Jin did not play with cars. He only knew a little about vehicle repair. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if he modified an exploration vehicle?
Of course, the medical robot Da Bao could help him a little, but it was specialized in robot maintenance. It was not an expert in vehicle repair and modification. At most, it could help Chen Jin.
Most of the work would still be done by Chen Jin.
But the problem was that Chen Jin did not know much.
What to do?
Of course, he would learn how to repair cars. He did not need to master it, just a simple beginner would do.
Coincidentally, Chen Jin had a friend who was a car modification maniac. There seemed to be no car that he could not modify, and no malfunction that he could not fix.
Chen Jin planned to ask him for help. He wanted to be his apprentice for a few days and learn some repair skills from him.
…
The next day.
West City Auto Market.
Inside a 4S auto shop called "Light of Faith."
"Zhao Xin, here's the $5,000 I borrowed from you last month. I'll return it."
Chen Jin took out half a stack of red bills from his wallet and handed it to a young man with a cigarette in his mouth. His hands were covered in engine oil, but his hair was still neat.
Free and easy, uninhibited, handsome, and confident. That was everyone's first impression of him.
Especially the playboy aura he exuded, and the faint evil smile on his face, he was fatally attractive to some women.
It was said that one-third of the cars sold in this 4S shop were bought by women over the age of 30. Some women even bought more than one car … Chen Jin had no idea why those women liked to buy cars here.
And he was Zhao Xin, Chen Jin's classmate for three years in high school. They also went to the same university. They had a very close personal relationship.
Or rather, he was Zhao Xin, Chen Jin's good brother. He was the only good friend that was worthy of his heart and trust.
Moreover, Zhao Xin's family was much better off than Chen Jin's. His parents owned a large company with a net worth of more than 10 billion. Under his careful management, the 4S shop that Zhao Xin opened had an annual profit of more than 10 million. He was a 100% rich second generation.
Moreover, Zhao Xin's car modification and racing skills were top-notch. In the underground racing world of Shang Hai, almost everyone knew of his name, "Brother Xin."
He looked at the bills in front of him.
Slightly stunned, Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "Why are you returning the money to me? It's only $5,000. Don't return it, I don't need this bit of change. "
"I'll return you even if it's only 50 cents. Hurry up and take it."
"Xiao Li, take the money and book a high-end hotel. I'll treat everyone to dinner today." Zhao Xin asked the receptionist, Xiao Li, to take the money.
"Long live the boss!"
"Long live Brother Xin!"
The employees in the 4S shop were in a state of jubilation; their morale was greatly boosted.
Chen Jin shook his head helplessly. He had known Zhao Xin for seven or eight years. This guy's personality had always been like this. He was unwilling to touch money and treated it like dirt. He had no concept of how to spend it. The 4S shop's annual profit of more than 10 million was often used up by him without leaving a single cent.
But he was really good to the employees in his shop. A few masters with good repair skills stayed in the shop for a few years and did not leave. Other 4S shops could not poach them even if they offered an annual salary of more than a million. Sometimes, they would come back after being poached. It was really strange.
After returning the money, Chen Jin told him the purpose of his visit: he wanted to be an apprentice with him for a few days and learn some car repair skills.
"Learn car repair from me?"
Zhao Xin looked at him in surprise. He removed the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and asked in a serious tone, "Are you sure you're not joking with me? Since when did you become so interested in car repair? "
Chen Jin nodded and said, "I'm not joking. I really want to learn something about car repair."
"This job is not easy. It's dirty and tiring. Are you sure you want to learn?"
"Yes, I plan to learn from you for a few days. I can pay some tuition fees."
Zhao Xin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay tuition fees. Since you're interested, come and learn for a few days. We'll teach you step by step. If you can't take the hardship, you can give up anytime. Just treat it as a taste of life."
"Alright, thank you, Zhao Xin."
Zhao Xin smiled faintly. He looked at the fair-skinned and skinny Chen Jin in front of him. Knowing that Chen Jin had the personality of a homebody, Zhao Xin muttered to himself, Two days? Three days? Or just one day?
