Two hundred and fifty-eight chapters 88 years
Zhang Zhai just stood on the rostrum and said a sentence in an unhurried tone.
Then, the entire venue fell into deathly silence.
Almost everyone stared at Zhang Zhai with their mouths open, and some people couldn't help but rub their eyes, showing a look of astonishment.
"Am I blind? Or am I hallucinating!" A certain audience member rubbed his eyes, and then stared blankly at Zhang Zhai on the stage. He thought he was hallucinating, until... he noticed the people around him
, the expression was similar to his, and I finally believed that everything I just saw was the truth!
The whole venue was silent for two seconds, and then it was like a pot exploded! There were cheers and uproar!
"Damn it! How did Zhai Shen do it! He actually came out of the screen!"
"I'll go! It feels like I'm watching a supernatural movie! Zhai Shen's show makes my scalp numb!"
Although everyone reacted, they still couldn't believe what they saw!
Zhang Zhai actually emerged from the video, and there was no flaw at all! It was like breaking through a dimensional wall, which made people's scalp numb!
When Zhang Zhai walked in front of the screen, a group of media reporters made some assumptions and immediately pointed their cameras at Zhang Zhai and took pictures!
But even though they had expected it, they were still shocked!
At this time, the reporters replayed the scene captured by the camera over and over again. The more they watched, the more shocked they became! The more they watched, the more unbelievable they became! The way they looked at Zhang Zhai was as if they were looking at a monster! Looking at a god!
Zhang Zhai stood on the rostrum, listening to the exclamations of the audience, and he could even hear many people shouting, asking Zhang Zhai to reveal what was going on.
However, he just smiled calmly and did not answer the audience's doubts.
"To put it bluntly, it's actually worthless. It's just a holographic image with some deception. If that's the case, why bother explaining."
Zhang Zhai said silently in his heart.
…
There were too many people in the venue, because the shock brought by Zhang Zhai's appearance caused everyone to scream in shock, one after another, and they couldn't stop for a long time!
Until, Zhang Zhai held the microphone in his hand.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Zhai, and I welcome you to this virtual helmet launch conference.
Civilization gives birth to technology, and technology leads civilization!
I announce that the virtual helmet launch conference has officially begun."
Zhang Zhai's words made the noisy venue calm again, and Zhang Zhai drew everyone's attention back.
The press conference has begun! Everyone’s attention has begun to turn to the following press conference!
The venue fell silent, and Zhang Zhai continued: "The distance between virtuality and reality is only one step. Crossing this step is the distance between virtuality and reality."
Zhang Zhai smiled and made a pun.
"But it took us 88 years to get to this step, from when Weinbaum, a science fiction novelist, first mentioned the earliest concept of virtual reality in a short novel, to Morton, who is recognized as the father of virtual reality in the world.
Heilig invented the head-mounted VR display, and later, the concept of the virtual world was proposed, and then the current VR glasses were introduced... and now, the real virtual helmet appears. This step took us 88 years!
Perhaps for the entire human civilization, 88 years is nothing, and perhaps for the long history of the earth, 88 years is even less worth mentioning!
But 88 years may be the lifetime of an ordinary person!
Over the past 88 years, the pioneers of virtual reality have devoted countless sweat and tears!
In the past 88 years, countless people have made countless attempts to realize virtual reality!
But at the same time, fortunately, it only took 88 years for the birth of the virtual helmet! If it weren’t for luck, I think it would have taken at least another 88 years for the birth of the virtual helmet!”
…
Hearing Zhang Zhai's words, a female reporter in front of the rostrum was excited. She seemed to see a magnificent 88-year epic in Zhang Zhai's words! She was shocked, excited, and even passionate.
Charge it to the top of your head!
When she heard Zhang Zhai's last words, she immediately wrote this sentence on the title of the press release:
"Is it luck? Yes! Our greatest luck is having him!"
Not only this reporter thought this way, but also most of the audience in the venue had this thought.
then……
"Crashing... crashing..."
In an instant, the excited people clapped vigorously! The roaring applause directly interrupted Zhang Zhai's words.
On the rostrum, Zhang Zhai could clearly see the audience in the front row blushing and applauding excitedly and vigorously!
Zhang Zhai smiled lightly, without being arrogant or impetuous, and calmly waited for the applause to subside.
…
The applause gradually subsided and Zhang Zhai picked up the microphone again.
"I know that in the past month, everyone has been very resentful towards me and Xihe Technology!
Complaining that even though the virtual world has been in internal testing, it is still so mysterious. There is no information about what is going on inside the virtual world on the entire Internet, and there is no way to even know what the virtual helmet looks like!"
When Zhang Zhai said this, many in the audience showed knowing smiles.
Among them, media reporters have a deep understanding of this.
During this period, they wrote a lot of speculative reports about virtual worlds and virtual helmets, but they were scolded every time because they had no actual information!
However, the number of clicks on each such report remains high!
One can imagine how curious people are about the virtual world!
I have been holding it back for a month, but I still can't find a single word of content. You can imagine how angry I am!
Zhang Zhai looked at the audience and said: "Actually, wouldn't it be good to retain a sense of mystery? It would definitely feel better to explore a strange world by yourself!"
Zhang Zhai's words made all the audience present couldn't help but roll their eyes!
Even Hua Menglian next to the rostrum was like this. She didn't qualify for the internal test. As a result, as the president of Xihe Technology, she didn't know what the virtual world was like!
"Well, it seems that everyone still likes to be more direct!
Then let me unveil the virtual helmet and the virtual world for everyone!"
Zhang Zhai said and waved to the audience.
After Zhang Zhai finished speaking, the audience in the middle and back of the venue stood on tiptoes and looked up at the stage, wanting to see the true face of the virtual helmet.
After Zhang Zhai waved to the audience, a Terminator immediately came to the stage carrying a wooden box!
At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on this wooden box, and everyone's eyes are moving with the movement of this wooden box!
"Dong...dong..."
The terminator walked steadily from the rostrum to Zhang Zhai at a constant speed of four meters per second, and then placed the wooden box at Zhang Zhai's feet.
Zhang Zhai squatted down, and at the same time, the picture on the big screen behind him followed in real time.
Zhang Zhai stretched out his hands, quickly opened the wooden box, and took out the virtual helmet placed inside.
Holding the virtual helmet in his hand, Zhang Zhai stood up again.
"This is a virtual helmet!"
Zhang Zhai said calmly.
The virtual helmet held in Zhang Zhai's hand is no different in appearance from the previous internal beta version. It is still blue and white in simple style.
Everyone in the audience stared intently at the sci-fi-looking virtual helmet in Zhang Zhai's hand, holding their breath and showing excitement in their eyes.
Chapter completed!
