Chapter 668: 667. Travel in the Sea of Stars_1
If Li Zijian’s language arts teacher knew what he was feeling at that mont, she would definitely find a way to leap up and punch him with a fist as big as a sandbag, to show him who really was the real physical education teacher.
However, what Li Zijian saw was indeed a riot of colors brewing out of the darkness, those colors that did not belong to this world bursting before his eyes.
Those brilliant colors seed as if they ca from the far, boundless universe, those bright and ancient nebulae, like a distant ballad, humming by his ear.
Li Zijian soon realized that he could no longer hear any sound from the outside.
And yet, the surroundings remained silent.
No matter how good the headphones were, they at most reduced the efficiency of sound transmission, as matter itself conducts sound. In the absence of any white noise playing in the headphones, this kind of silence seed very unnatural.
Li Zijian tried to turn his head; he saw the surroundings.
He was amidst a sea of stars.
It was like truly floating in that desolate and cold emptiness, a world so barren that not even an atom could be encountered. In the silence, Li Zijian was silent.
“Director Lu?”
Li Zijian tried to speak, but all he heard was the echo of his bones.
This world didn’t even have air.
A naless fear gradually climbed up Li Zijian’s spine.
It was the fear humans have of excessively vast spaces.
In this space with no up, down, left, or right, where one could not touch anything, the disadvantages of humans as creatures that grew up with their feet on the ground began to surface.
So say that if humans couldn’t detach from their reliance on the ground, they could never embark on a real cosmic voyage.
This dependence is not only on the physical “ground” itself but also on “Earth”.
When humans can no longer see this blue planet and fully enter space, heading straight into that unknown beyond, that’s when the real fear manifests.
Li Zijian tried to move his hand.
Then, to his surprise, he found that he could freely move his hands and feet.
“Wasn’t I sitting on a chair? What kind of black technology is this?”
Li Zijian scratched his head, surprised to discover that he couldn’t even feel the helt on his head!!!
What in the world was happening?
He struggled for a mont, then tried to swim towards a twinkling star in front of him, but it was in vain.
In this vast expanse of emptiness, Li Zijian didn’t know whether he had actually moved or not.
“Director Lu?”
Li Zijian asked tentatively.
He thought of many possibilities, even including that at the mont he put on the helt, an electrical leak caused him to accidentally travel through ti, and now he had arrived in a desolate universe, about to awaken so sort of golden finger that would allow him to create a planet and start the evolution of civilization.
But soon, Lu Ban shattered his fantasy.
“I’m here, I was just adjusting the equipnt a mont ago. How does it feel, Brother Li?”
Lu Ban’s voice rang in Li Zijian’s ears.
“Am I in a ga?”
Li Zijian found it very strange. He should have been lying on a chair, but now he was able to move freely, as if he truly traversed to this sea of stars. This was beyond VR technology; it was almost like the virtual reality boasted about by that taverse.
“Right, this is the basic scene we use for debugging.”
Lu Ban answered.
“Can I stand on the ground?”
Li Zijian asked, floating in space like this always felt a bit odd.
“That’s a bit difficult, we haven’t created specific ground scenes yet because it involves issues like clipping.”
Lu Ban replied.
“Oh, that’s okay, no problem.”
Li Zijian wasn’t demanding too much. After all, it had been just over a week since Lu Ban and he had talked about buying a gaming company, and Lu Ban seed well-prepared.
After drifting in the universe a while longer, Li Zijian had Lu Ban help him exit the ga.
Accompanied by a burst of black filled with dazzling colors, Li Zijian once again felt the pull of gravity, heard the sounds of the outside world, and felt the weight of the helt on his head.
He lifted his hand and touched his helt.
Li Zijian took it off and returned to reality.
“Welco back to the real world.”
Lu Ban stood by, extending a hand towards Li Zijian.
Grasping that hand, Li Zijian stood up.
The sensation of weightlessness still lingered around him, and Li Zijian felt as if the last scene had been like a dream.
“How did you achieve this… It’s just like in those gas, ‘The Matrix’?”
Li Zijian thought of the classic movie’s neural plugs and involuntarily touched the back of his own head, feeling a pang of disappointnt at not finding any kind of port there.
“Pretty much, your cognition can sotis deceive you. With so special technology, it’s possible to blur the line between fake and reality.”
Lu Ban explained briefly.
Li Zijian didn’t ask further. First, this was certainly a trade secret. Such technology could change the entire world if just anyone got their hands on it. Second, he believed he wouldn’t understand the technical specifics. It was possible that Lu Ban was also just repeating what he was told, so there was no need to focus on the details.
“You’ve got this thing, why buy a gaming company? Just make your own, it would absolutely crush those gaming consoles!”
Li Zijian said, noting that current gaming consoles at most offered motion sensing and seldom ca with VR. Lu Ban’s fully imrsive gaming experience would be irresistible to any gar.
He was confident that once this gaming device hit the market, the gaming world would be set ablaze, signaling the dawn of a new era for ga consoles.
Moreover, this kind of technology would definitely be applied in various fields such as the military, technology, agriculture, sports, etc., marking the fifth industrial revolution.
As the secretary to the CEO of a major industrial conglorate, Li Zijian’s mind suddenly burst with nurous application prospects and alternative sches. Even previously dismissed concepts like the money-grabbing taverse suddenly seed a lot more tangible with the advent of this device.
After all, who could resist buying a unique code for a paper-like wife that could be seen and touched through this device?
Keep in mind that even 3D paper people, who could be freely manipulated, could prompt a frenzy of billions of dollars in monthly revenue. The fanaticism of gars for an even more realistic experience would only be greater.
“I need to produce these in bulk, and besides, I’m a layman when it cos to gaming. I need so professionals to guide ,”
Lu Ban said matter-of-factly.
He had already decided to turn the material from the Night of Summoning Spirits into a VR-like ga, allowing players to imrse themselves in exploring Storm Villa and discover the truth for themselves!
After all, all the Pollutions up to now had been instilled by Lu Ban, but only those discovered firsthand by the players would be the most valuable Pollution!
