Mei Yiqiu saw Aoki coming in and greeted him: "Oh, Aoki, you're here!"

The woman also turned around and leaned slightly and smiled at Aoki. She looks about the same age as Mei Ziqing, with curvy eyebrows and a graceful face, even if she stands there and does nothing, she also shows extraordinary tolerance.

When Aoki and her looked at each other, he felt more and more where he had seen him, especially the look in his eyes. He searched for the women he had seen in his memory, and first thought of Xia Xiaoxiao.

This woman and Xia Xiaoxiao are somewhat similar in temperament, but there are obvious differences. Xia Xiaoxiao's temperament stems from the extravagance of family background and the self-confidence in academic achievements, and the woman in front of her is obviously lighter and more refined.

Aoki thought of Dewar again, the immortal woman who had been immersed in the world of Buddhism for decades, but after all, she was a little bit more dusty and outdated.

"Come on, let me introduce you." The professor held the pipe in his mouth, but did not light it, either because the lady was there or smoking was not allowed in the laboratory.

"This is Aoki, I mentioned it to you before." He took Aoki's hand and introduced the woman to Aoki. "This is Professor Su from Columbia University."

The woman smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Su Huilan, please advise."

"Hello." Aoki held her hand. At that moment, another familiar feeling struck, but it disappeared quickly because the woman put her hand back.

Mei Yiqiu said: "Professor Su will be our first dream mentor."

"Dream mentor?" Aoki seemed to have heard this term somewhere.

"It's the training instructor of the "Dream Guide" game. It has nothing to do with the dream club group." Mei Yiqiu explained, "Originally this thing is most suitable for you to do, but considering the particularity of your identity, And you have more important things to do, so I will invite Professor Su here."

Aoki congratulated: "It seems that the game development of the professor has succeeded!"

The professor pointed to the side Bian Ziyuan and laughed: "Thanks to Wu Da's little genius, his understanding of mechanical intelligence and computers is very unique. The intelligent program he developed has helped me a lot."

Aoki couldn't help being in awe of Bian Ziyuan, knowing that great scientists always start with a genius.

Bian Ziyuan smiled a little shyly, but didn't say anything self-effacing.

Aoki asked, "The professor called me today to celebrate my success?"

The professor shook his head and said, "It’s too early to celebrate. Today I’m looking for you to meet with Professor Su, and you will have to cooperate in the future. Professor Su is also a member of our Third Space Foundation, a research expert in the field of human spirit and subconsciousness. There are also achievements in science and religious philosophy."

Aoki didn't think he and Su Huilan could have any academic cooperation opportunities, and did not take Mei's words seriously. He is a person who is too lazy to socialize, so he did not express too much enthusiasm for the beautiful professor.

On the contrary, Su Huilan seems to be very interested in him and has been observing him.

"Mr. Aoki is interested in trying our newly developed space box?" she said.

Professor Aoki Tingmei talked about the concept of the space box, and couldn't help being a little curious: "Is it really possible to directly stimulate and receive brain information without using sensors to capture and release neural electrical signals?"

Su Huilan looked at him with some surprise: "It seems that Mr. Aoki has some understanding of this box."

Mei Yiqiu said: "Don't forget, there are three names in the game "Genesis", and he is one of them."

Su Huilan smiled suddenly: "Oh, why did I forget this!"

Aoki didn't know what the professor wrote in "Genesis". This aroused his curiosity and wanted to see what kind of world this game called "Guide to Dreams" was like. And how does that spatial box connect to his consciousness?

Mei Yiqiu pointed to two rectangular boxes placed at an angle of forty-five degrees that were large enough for one person and said, "You can lie in and try."

"Lie in?" The more Aoki looked at the shape of the box, the more it felt like a coffin.

"The space box stimulates the human brain nerve center through quantum drops under high-frequency laser pulses, which can directly simulate human sensory information, thereby guiding human consciousness to create a virtual environment."

"Is this the future VR technology you often talk about?"

"That's right. The current VR is still based on relying on audiovisual perception. To put it bluntly, it only plays 3D scenes to people, and then uses sensors to capture the human body's neurofeedback. But people have not only sight and hearing, but also taste and smell. With the current technology, it’s not that it’s impossible to realize it, it’s just that it’s too much trouble to realize it. The nerve cells of the human body are all over the body, unless you are full of sensors all over your body. Including the tongue, otherwise it will not be able to give people a comprehensive feeling close to reality. Therefore, the current VR is at most virtual audio-visual, not virtual reality."

As soon as Mei Yiqiu finished speaking, Su Huilan added:

"A scientific team in the United States has tried to develop a nervous coat, which is a bit like Spider-Man's clothes, which can wrap your whole body. The clothes are made of special materials. After you put them on, it looks like on your body. Covered with a layer of film, you can capture and transmit neural electrical signals. You put on this suit and give you a virtual scene, in which you can perceive everything in the scene, including the sense of touch. And the clothes can release thousands of different The air molecules enter your nasal cavity and lungs to simulate the real sense of smell. But as Professor Mei said, you can’t wrap your tongue with a film, and clothes can only cover the body surface, not the internal organs. , So there is still a big gap from the real human perception."

"There are also scientists who try to use nerve fluid to complete virtual reality. Have you seen the Matrix? Completely soaking people in special liquids and letting the liquid act as sensors is indeed simpler and more effective than clothes. But so far, nothing has been discovered. This kind of liquid can make people soak for a long time without harming human cells, and humans probably don't want to make themselves like a corpse soaked in formalin just to play a game."

Aoki sounded a little creepy.

It is hard to imagine that people in the future world will immerse themselves in liquid to play games, or dress like Spider-Man, with hundreds of thin tubes connected to their bodies to participate in e-sports competitions.

"Our thing that looks like a coffin...It doesn't seem to be any better, right?" Aoki said ~lightnovelpub.net~ You can rest assured, this is only the first-generation product. "Mei Yiqiu was smoking the unlit pipe, as if the air would become a little sweeter after passing through the pipe.

"Now the single cost of this box is more than 20 million U.S. dollars. This is just pure manufacturing cost, without considering the allocation of R&D costs. Otherwise, its cost is an astronomical figure. Such a product will not be put on the market, and no one will use it. rise."

Aoki was speechless.

Mei Yiqiu continued: "Our second-generation product design has been completed, and it is about the same as the common VR helmets. I believe it will be available soon. As for the third-generation product, it is still in the design stage, maybe a hat or a hat. Pair of glasses. But I think one day, our products will become smaller, such as a chip."

"chip?"

"Yes, chip. It's the same chip you found for me."
