In the end, Duan Siqi decided to go.

You can go to the library every day, and you have the opportunity to brush up on the topic every day, but it would be too wasteful to go to this invitation letter that I had exchanged for the luck of the rest of my life.

What's more, Zimmer's involvement in the subject of the land god had too much impact on him.

Although I know that I don't need to treat this level of cattle as a competitor, I can't look up and see him, I can see this kid dangling in front of me every day, and I can't ignore his existence at all!

It's not that I'm giving up on myself.

It's just that he thinks that a change of mood may be better for him......

Soon it was the last Saturday of the month.

Duan Siqi, who had completed the course task a day earlier, got up early, had a casual breakfast, and went to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which is not far from Jinda.

Although I had heard of this world-famous academic mecca for a long time, Duan Siqi, as an undergraduate student, was here for the first time.

After showing the invitation in his hand, the doorman on duty quickly led him to the virtual reality experience center.

When he arrived, he was immediately surprised by the crowd of people in the experience center.

In addition to the thirty experimenters who were scheduled to participate in the closed beta today, there are also more than a dozen researchers and staff in charge of the order of the venue, security guards, and so on.

Originally, he thought that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect that so many people had already arrived.

Looking at the busy experience center, the expression on Duan Siqi's face was a little cramped, and he didn't know what to do at this time.

Just when he was thinking about whether to find someone to ask about the situation here, a staff member who looked about thirty or forty years old and wearing a white coat took the initiative to come to his side, looked at him twice against the photo on the list, and asked.

"Are you Duan Siqi?"

Duan Siqi nodded: "...... Yes. ”

"I'm the person in charge here, the closed test will start soon, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the equipment first, come with me."

Duan Siqi: "Okay. ”

In fact, the way to use the device is very simple, and there are only three steps in total.

Lie in bed, put on your helmet, press power on, and you're ready to swim in the world of virtual reality.

The closed beta soon began.

Lying flat on the virtual reality device as instructed by the researchers, Duan Siqi took a deep breath and relaxed the muscles of his body.

Just when he was worrying about whether he would not be able to enter the virtual reality world smoothly because he "couldn't sleep", the feeling of being gently bitten by an ant came from the stamina.

Just when he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, his body suddenly sank.

As if out of his body, his consciousness quickly stepped from door to door after a brief dullness, through an endless darkness and into a world he had never seen before.

Beneath your feet is a six-lane highway with no cars on the road, surrounded by towering skyscrapers that look like a city and futuristic style.

In addition to him, there are many others standing here.

The closest thing to him is a Closed Beta player from a foreign country.

I saw that this blonde young lady who looked a bit like a certain anchor on YouTube, was staring at her eyes in disbelief, repeating some exclamatory tone particles, while constantly groping with her hands on herself.

He admits that the picture is a bit ...... It is not suitable for children, so he politely moved his gaze to the side.

But then again, it's too realistic.

Even the appearance in reality can be perfectly restored, and he really can't understand how this is done.

Reading the information released in the brainwaves?

Or is it an active mapping of the subconscious mind guided by suggestion?

Or the helmet itself comes with a scanning device similar to a camera, and when registering user information, it helps them beautify the image of the person.

Reaching out and touching his cheek, Duan Siqi's heart couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The last time I had a similar feeling was probably at the World Expo in Shanghai.

I forgot which company it was, he only remembered that he was still in elementary school at the time, and when he followed his father to which exhibition hall, he used a head-mounted remote control device to manipulate the remote control car on the runway with brain waves.

It is difficult for him to describe how his worldview was affected at that time.

And now, just over a decade later, he's feeling a similar blow again.

I didn't expect that technology is so developed now.

“…… This is crazy. ”

……

After a busy day, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the dormitory.

Their job is simple, basically based on their real-life occupation, the field staff will assign them some special work to complete in a specific scenario.

For example, he is a college student, and there are about two scenes assigned to him, one is a library and the other is a classroom. So in general, his task today can also be summed up as listening to a math lecture in the classroom and spending a leisurely afternoon in the library.

The experience was truly intriguing.

Originally, he came to participate in this closed beta because he was going to fish, but he didn't expect to end up checking in at the library.

The next closed beta is scheduled for next Saturday.

Due to the number of devices and mailboxes, for them local closed beta test holders, researchers at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study said that they would spread their time out to the weekend, and allocate the time period of continuous testing to closed beta testers from other places.

It is said that the next test will experience things that I have never experienced in my life, so it is quite exciting to think about it.

Recalling and digesting what he had seen and heard during the day, Duan Siqi, who was leaning on the bed and looking at his mobile phone, suddenly sighed with some emotion.

"It's incredible......"

Although they were testing a very simple game, he saw more than just a game.

Shopping, entertainment, finance, public services, and even education, military, politics, and a series of things that only exist in reality, such as shopping, entertainment, finance, public services, etc., can be projected into the virtual reality world in another form.

Now is just the beginning.

As for the future......

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, he couldn't help but have a little expectation in his eyes.

He couldn't help but open the scarf, which he usually doesn't brush much, edited his thoughts a little, matched the photos taken in the morning, set the hashtag of the virtual reality topic, and clicked the send button.

Then he was surprised to find that in just one minute, his number of fans in the digits had risen to ten figures......

Under the lamp, Zimmer, who was meditating on the scratch paper, stretched, turned off the lamp, and climbed up the ladder to the bed.

Since joining Academician Lu's project, he has been like this every day for the past half a month. Every day, I either talk to myself on scratch paper until late at night, or I don't see anyone all day.

Listening to the snoring sound floating from outside the mosquito net, and seeing that the last friends who went to bed were asleep, Duan Siqi also rubbed his eyebrows, threw the phone aside to charge, and closed his eyes.

The lights in 201's bedroom have been turned off.

Just when most of the people in the city had fallen asleep, Lu Zhou, who was far away in Zhongshan International, was yawning and finally uploaded his first paper since the opening of the topic - a study on the theory of motive.

And at about the same time, the whole world shook once again as the first "public" closed beta of virtual reality technology came to an end......
