Chapter 264 Shocked (2-in-1)
At this moment, all the listeners, whether online or in person, were shocked by Lu An's extremely subversive words. "If my understanding is correct, his statement refers to the digital world that allows people to digitize their consciousness and enter the Internet?" A person at the scene said to himself in shock.
Some people in the outside world have guessed this a long time ago, but almost everyone thinks it is impossible.
It is too science fiction, but I never thought that the most impossible situation is the answer.
· Currently, in the way people interact with computers and the Internet, there is a clear boundary between virtuality and reality. The screen is an impenetrable fourth wall between virtuality and reality.
Now Lu An suddenly tells everyone that this "fourth wall" can be broken and people can directly "enter" the virtual digital world inside the screen.
This is too shocking and too science fiction for contemporary people.
Many people believe that giving humans fifty years to develop technology may not be possible and only exists in science fiction movies.
But at the press conference at this moment, the darkroom in the middle of the stage was opened, and an elevator platform rose from the bottom to the top of the stage.
· Seeing this situation, the reporter at the scene immediately subconsciously pressed the shutter of the camera, and saw a streamlined, technological device appearing in the middle of the stage. It was the first generation of brain-computer terminal equipment.
"Let's see what it is."
Lu An came to the display equipment and began to explain in an orderly manner. His tone was clear and rhythmic, and every word hit the hearts of the audience.
"
"Sensory information from the digital world is converted into corresponding EEG signals so that your brain can "recognize" it and allow you to clearly perceive it. It can also convert EEG signals into corresponding digital signals. "
“What it reads is not your private memory thoughts, but your clear ‘intentions’, such as ‘I want to pick up a bottle of water’, rather than ‘Why I want to pick up a bottle of water’. "
"This expression may be too abstract and not easy for the public to understand."
Lu An paused, lowered his head slightly and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked towards the audience.
"
"The interaction principle of the brain-computer terminal is to decode the data of the "temporary workbench" of this memory stick, that is, the intention of your subjective output, and cannot read the memory information you save in the brain."
"Research has proven that the human brain cleans the memory "cache" through a specific mechanism during sleep. Regular brain waves are generated through the activity of neuron electrical signals to promote the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, thereby removing metabolic waste and garbage debris. "
"This process is similar to "clearing the cache" of mobile phones and computers. It can improve the efficiency of neural signal transmission and help release the cognitive load accumulated throughout the day. Therefore, we will find that we forget some unimportant information every day, and only retain the information we think is important to form deep memory. "
Lu An made an analogy between a computer's memory stick and a hard disk, which allowed many non-professionals to quickly understand it. This analogy is much easier to understand.
Simply put, the information read by the brain-computer terminal is the EEG signal actively output by the person himself.
People first put their "intentions" on this "temporary workbench", and the brain-computer terminal only works on this workbench. As much "intention" information as the person gives to this "temporary workbench", the brain-computer terminal will analyze as many EEG signals as possible, and convert them into digital signals for output.
In the same way, external digital signals will also be converted into corresponding EEG signals in this "temporary workbench" and input inward.
The principle is actually a simple issue of "input" and "output", but the technical complexity of the implementation is extremely high, and Lu An did not disclose the core technical details at the press conference.
"What the brain-computer terminal constructs is not an illusory dream. It is a sensory reality that can be shared by everyone based on rigorous science and digital rules." Lu An's voice echoed throughout the audience again.
At this moment, everyone who is watching this conference realizes that the influence and subversiveness of this product launched by Metaverse Intelligent Control on mankind is definitely no less than the first computer created by mankind in the last century.
It was only then that everyone discovered that the brain-computer terminal device launched by Metaverse Intelligent Control was not the same thing as the brain-computer interface that everyone thought.
Outsiders generally believe that it is the kind of brain-computer interface described by Elon Musk, which cannot break the "fourth wall" and directly "enter" the digital world on the screen to interact.
Instead, a direct connection is established between the brain and external devices such as computers, eliminating the need for physical movements.
To put it bluntly, it can be controlled without a mouse and keyboard, and the "fourth wall" still exists.
However, the brain-computer terminal device launched by Metaverse Intelligent Control not only has all the above functions, but its biggest highlight is breaking the "fourth wall", which is also the most subversive.
At the end, the elevator in the middle of the stage delivered the second brain-computer terminal. Lu An looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Now, it's time for everyone to witness this historical moment with your own eyes. I want to step into the digital world with a volunteer and randomly select a computer terminal on the spot. Come on, please raise your hands if you are willing. "
As soon as these words came out, more than half of the people in the audience raised their hands, especially the mass consumer fans, all of them were eager to give it a try. In the end, Lu An randomly selected an audience member.
"This young guy in a shirt sitting by the aisle, it's you, please come on stage."
This guy with his hand raised saw Lu An looking at him with a smile. He was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and was immediately excited.
He stood up and left his seat, and under the guidance of a staff member, he came to the stage excitedly and nervously.
After a while, he came to the stage and came to Lu An, who smiled and shook hands with him.
He did not expect to be so close to his idol and even shake hands, at such a public moment, which really excited him.
Whether it was the live audience or the online audience, they could tell from his excitement at this moment that this was definitely not a sham.
If this is all a pretense, then the acting is amazing.
At Lu An's signal, the young man came to one of the brain-computer terminals. He couldn't help but said nervously: "Well, how do you use it? I don't know how to use it at all·
Lu An smiled and said: "You only need to be able to play with mobile phones and computers. There is no learning cost. Just lie down comfortably." Hearing this, the young man lay down on the brain-computer terminal platform with excitement and great expectations.
Its design is ergonomic, just like lying on a recliner, and is very comfortable.
After a while, the curved crown on the head slowly lowered.
Lu An, who was standing next to him, said: "Relax, close your eyes, wait for a while, we will see you in the digital world later."
The little brother immediately followed suit, closed his eyes without saying a word, and he quickly fell into a light sleep.
The conversation between Lu An and this young man was also broadcast through the microphone throughout the press conference. At this moment, more than 5,000 people in the audience were all transfixed. Everyone watched this great moment recorded in history without saying a word.
After a while, Lu An faced the audience and smiled and said: "Now, let's take a look at it from the third-person God's perspective. Let's watch the big screen."
As he said that, he also turned and looked back at the big screen on the stage behind him. Everyone turned their attention to the high-definition giant screen on the stage.
I saw the screen switching on the big screen. The picture showed an extremely realistic tropical beach, with waves crashing on the shore and swaying palms.
ˆ “This is——?”
ˆ Both the live audience and the online audience were shocked and confused at the same time.
At this moment, only a white beam of light can be seen falling from the sky in the picture. As the light curtain gradually fades away, the outline of the human body gradually becomes clear. As the light curtain completely dissipates, a person appears in it.
It was the little brother who was lying on the brain-computer terminal device.
His facial features have just been scanned by the brain-computer terminal for facial recognition, thus generating a virtual portrait.
At this moment, the little brother looked confused. He raised his hands to examine himself, and then looked around the environment in front of him. His reaction was a typical emotional characteristic of suddenly appearing in an unknown and strange environment.
In reality, at the press conference, at this moment, there was an exclamation from the audience.
"How is it possible? It can actually be interconnected across platforms? What kind of incredible black technology is this?" An industry insider was shocked. Without cross-platform interconnection, it would be impossible to see the presentation of the virtual digital world through a screen in reality.
At this moment, the little brother in the digital world looked around and suddenly exclaimed: "F*ck! Where did this come from?"
"Hahaha!!"
There was a burst of laughter from the thousands of spectators at the scene, but at the same time, everyone was laughing and extremely shocked.
Tens of thousands of netizens who watched the press conference were shocked and excited. A young man who was watching the live broadcast said excitedly: "Wodema Duck! Is this a technology that can be available in 2017?"
"Using a brain-computer terminal to play AAA games, players can directly transform into the characters in the game."
"I don't know how fun it will be to play in this way. This is definitely an epoch-making great product!"
All gamers who were watching the live broadcast of the conference were excited when they saw this scene.
"Brother Lu, where are you? Where am I? Am I not dreaming?" The little brother in the digital world looked around. He suddenly slapped himself and screamed: "Fuck, it hurts, it hurts, this is not a dream? This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this." ———”
“Hahahaha one by one!!”
The little brother didn’t realize that he was being watched from the perspective of God by countless people on the Internet. His move once again made the whole audience burst into laughter.
Lu An looked at the picture on the big screen and said with a smile: "I am here. I am watching. You are in the digital world now, and I am still in reality. I will enter the digital world later."
The little brother was shocked when he heard this. He looked around and did not see Lu An, but he did hear the sound.
Lu An said again: "Your device is now connected to the external Internet, and we are all watching your every move from God's perspective."
As soon as these words came out, the little brother suddenly became frightened when he thought of what he had just done.
Lu An continued: "The place you are in now is a private scene. What you see and the tropical scene you are in are equivalent to the computer desktop wallpaper. You are now equivalent to being on the computer desktop. Just understand it this way."
He said this not only to this little brother in the digital world, but also to all the viewers who watched the live broadcast of the conference live and online.
The younger brother had a look of realization on his face and couldn't help but marvel: "That's how it is. It's unbelievable. It's so shocking. It's no different from the real world."
Lu An said: "A screen will appear in front of you in a moment. Don't be surprised. Surprised. "
After a moment, a rectangular floating holographic screen appeared in front of me. The picture on the screen was clearly the conference scene. Both the man in the digital world and the audience at the scene felt extremely strange and surreal at this moment.
The guy in the digital world saw the live broadcast of the press conference in the real world through the floating screen, and the audience in the real world watched the live broadcast of the press conference in the real world through the God's-eye view picture on the big screen at the press conference.
"Brother Lu, can I change my facial features in the virtual world?" The little brother in the digital world suddenly asked.
"Of course, your current facial features are the original appearance generated by the brain-computer terminal's preliminary recognition and scanning of your facial features. Of course, it can also be customized, just like when you usually play games and change your character's skin." Lu An replied with a smile, which was also to inform other viewers.
After a while, Lu An said: "Just wait a moment, I will join you in the digital world."
After speaking, Lu An came to the vacant brain-computer terminal next to him. Before lying down on it, he said to the audience: "Next, I will introduce this product to you in the digital world. Just focus on the big screen on the stage." After the words fell, Lu An also lay down on the brain-computer terminal, and the crown structure slowly lowered.
After a while, I saw that the big screen on the stage was divided into two. The private scene where the younger brother was on was on the left, and a brand new scene on the right. Now everyone understands that the difference between the private scenes is different computer theme desktop wallpaper styles.
This time it was not a white beam of light falling from the sky, but a space-time rift suddenly appearing in the scene. The real-life audience saw Lu An stepping into this private scene from the space-time rift, and then the space-time rift disappeared.
This should be another online entrance special effect. You can choose different styles of online methods according to personal preferences.
Lu An, who entered the digital world, was operating while introducing to the audience watching in the real world: "How to go to your friend's private scene? Or let your friend come to your private scene?"
Lu An then smiled and said: "This is very simple, so simple that as long as you can connect to your mobile phone's WiFi or Bluetooth, you will definitely know it. If you really can't, just ask the computer manager directly, and it will teach you step by step."
After a while, the little brother received the prompt, and his computer butler also issued a special prompt voice.
A holographic information panel popped up in front of him, and he decisively agreed to Lu An's invitation.
Hence, a door appeared out of thin air. Lu An introduced to the audience: "In the digital world, these can all be visualized. It can be any door, a space crack, or other special effects."
After finishing speaking, Lu An opened the door, and the other end of the door was the brother's private scene, and the two private scenes were interconnected.
