Jinling University.

The dormitory of the Faculty of Mathematics.

Duan Siqi, who had come to an end of self-study, leaned back on the chair and stretched, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and brushed his scarf, and relaxed for a while.

As a freshman who has only joined the School of Mathematics of Jinda since this summer, this student Duan once achieved the top 200 results in Lu Province in the college entrance examination a few months ago, and it can be said that he is an out-and-out academic bully.

However, if it is placed in the number of strong people, in this Alexander's dormitory, it is just a hot honor, and it is still a little bit not enough.

Especially that Zimmer, who is said to be the gold medal of the IMO competition, and it is also a gold medal with a perfect score.

The strength shown by this guy makes people can't even think of trying to compete with him in mathematics, and just wants to ask him, why don't you go to Shuimuyan University and go to the Math Institute of Jinling University to do something.

Time passed silently.

It is estimated that he is almost resting, and just as Duan Siqi was about to put away his mobile phone and continue to write hard, a piece of news that suddenly appeared in his sight really made his eyes widen in surprise, and he wanted to let his eyeballs fall out of his sockets.

"Neural access virtual reality devices?"

"! Really fake! ”

With just such a sentence, the quiet dormitory suddenly became lively.

Including Ji Mo, who was still struggling to write a second ago, after a short period of stunned, the other three people in the dormitory, except for Duan Siqi, also quickly took out their mobile phones and opened their necks with interest.

Soon, they saw the shocking news in the headline position of the hot search around the neck.

"My mom! This is...... The kind of VR that can put the whole person into the virtual reality world? ”

"It's too hanging......, isn't it?"

The dormitory suddenly began to chatter.

"Output the electrical signal of the neural modem through nerve microcurrent stimulation......" casually found a news article introducing this technology and clicked on it, Yang Shuang read out the introduction in the news in a low voice, and couldn't help but say to himself, ", use electricity for the brain?" Won't it break your brain? ”

Also staring at the phone screen, Zimmer shook his head vigorously.

"Impossible, this project is led by Academician Lu! If there is such a serious safety hazard, that person will definitely not take it out. ”

Looking at this guy, Duan Siqi Khan said, "...... You really adore that person. ”

"That's a must," Zimmer smiled embarrassedly and touched the back of his head, "Lu Shen is my idol. ”

Hearing this, the other two roommates in the dormitory looked at each other in unison, and they all showed no malice, just a little embarrassed smile.

Including Duan Siqi, he also smiled, but sighed with emotion in his heart.

Maybe geniuses are like this.

He couldn't imagine what it was like to worship someone.

No matter how respectable a person is, at most he is just a liking on the Internet, and it is really difficult to see who admires or worships which great man from the bottom of his heart in real life.

Moreover, compared to the shock of virtual reality technology in the news description, these are trivial issues.

Connect consciousness directly to the machine.

Experience an immersive virtual reality world in the form of dreaming......

Is this really possible?

Although he rummaged through the relevant news and reported the matter with affirmative statements, the inherent common sense still restrained him, making him unable to believe that it was true.

At this moment, Duan Siqi suddenly noticed that the last page of one of the news mentioned the news that Star Technology was recruiting volunteers to participate in the closed beta.

The moment he saw this news, his mind instantly came alive.

Maybe......

This is an opportunity.

Want to know if this thing is real? Is it really as cool as the news says?

Why don't you sign up for this volunteer and try it out for yourself......

……

Compared with cryodormancy, which is far away from most people's lives, the sensation caused by neural access virtual reality devices is undoubtedly much greater.

Whether it is an online game more than 20 years ago, a series of anime such as SAO in Japan, or a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster like Ready Player One, they have all made a series of associations with this technology and the future world with this technology more than once.

It can be said that for this dream second world, people's imagination and brains have long been like a flood bursting from the river.

Now that you suddenly hear that this technology has been realized, how can you not be crazy about it?

There is almost no suspense, just after the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and Star Technology have announced the major research progress of neural access virtual reality technology, and released a picture of the actual machine demonstration, including the scarf, forced, each **bs, etc., almost all the network platforms that can be communicated, related topics were detonated like nuclear bombs.

In addition to optimistic voices, there are also many pessimistic voices.

A small number of people have expressed concern about the various social harms that virtual reality technology may bring, but many more have expressed doubts about the impossibility of this technology.

After all, the idea of immersing yourself in a virtual world in the form of a guided dream sounds too sci-fi. Even though the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has added a lot of convincing power to this technology, many people still instinctively feel that they can't believe it when they hear that it was made by domestic researchers.

However, this feeling of distrust did not form a trend.

Because someone soon broke out that the person in charge of this virtual reality project was Professor Lu himself!

As soon as this news was released, the discussion that boiled like a flame was poured with a barrel of gasoline, and the flames flew into the sky.

As a clear stream among contemporary young scholars, and even a benchmark in the Chinese academic community, if at first there were doubts about the possibility of false propaganda or exaggeration of research results by those who announced this news, then almost all such speculations have now disappeared with the name of Professor Lu being pushed to the forefront.

Almost the first hour after the registration qualification was released on the official website of Star Technology, the number of global applicants exceeded the one million mark.

From the minimum age limit of 18 years old to the maximum age limit of 60 years old, it can be said that the volunteers who signed up can be said to cover almost all age groups.

Even if Star Technology clearly famously stated on its official website that the air ticket is self-care, no salary, and only room and board, even if there are only 100 limited places in the first batch of closed tests, it still can't stop people's enthusiasm for virtual reality technology.

Money or not money is secondary.

Everyone wants to experience the legendary feeling of immersion in a second world.

Everyone wants to be a witness to this historic moment......
