? "Ahem, the meeting will be held again.

First, enter the routine report on the progress of the experiment.

Don't tell me this time that you don't have enough time. Didn't you play very well in the experiment hall just now? "

Dr. Shigemura knew exactly which hand Xingke was referring to.

When Hoshigaki first gave Dr. Shigemura the pocket watch, he had already engraved the usage and precautions on the pocket watch. As long as Dr. Shigemura felt it with his heart, he could launch [Accelerate()] as he wanted to enter the field of [Time Acceleration] .

The [acceleration effect] that can be provided is about three thousand times faster. And the three thousand times the speed here is not just three thousand times the action, but all aspects.

Whether it is the speed of brain thinking, or the function of body movement, or the speed of internal organs and metabolism.

Specific to the user's own feelings, it is probably [everything around it feels like time has stopped], but in reality it does not. It looked like it had stopped, but in fact it was still moving at one-third of its original speed.

This is equivalent to three thousand times more time for thinking and working than before.

It looks great, doesn't it? The magic that makes an ordinary person instantly transform into Quick Silver and Flash is of course very powerful.

But at the same time, it is not without price.

People who accelerate three thousand times faster work three thousand times at the same time, they also accelerate three thousand times and consume their lives.

In other words, your remaining life has become one third of the original. In the eyes of others, you will age quickly.

If you speed up in one day, you will really age more than ten years.

Of course star carving doesn't matter, he can use [Accelerate()] casually, anyway, it won't die anyway.

But other people are different. Even Louise, a genuine nihilistic magician, rarely uses a mortal who is forcibly accelerated.

Therefore, in order to prevent Dr. Shigemura from accidentally dying, Star Engraved attached passively released healing magic to his pocket watch, which suspended Dr. Shigemura's life. That's why he looks the same as it was two years ago, not much better, but he hasn't deteriorated or died.

However, when Xingke made pocket watches, there was only one person to be subject to restoration magic...

"Doctor, you are not afraid of being in the same laboratory with you, do those people suddenly die at the end of their lives?"

Xing Ke said helplessly.

It turned out that I only thought that the old man would use it alone, but he didn't expect that the old man would pull up an entire laboratory and accelerate together.

Because the pocket watch made by Starcut was just as foolish as the [time pause device] found by the male stars in the small movie, Dr. Shigemura can do this very easily. Starcut is not surprising.

But Xingke didn't prepare for other people to restore magic.

"It doesn't matter, didn't I accelerate too much? It's only thirty-two times.

They all know the actual situation and are voluntary. At the same time, I also gave them corresponding material compensation and treatment.

Thanks to them, the progress of the experiment has been much faster..."

Although Dr. Shigemura said so, except for the last sentence, the other star carvings did not believe it at all.

Dr. Shigemura didn't know what conditions were required to make the researchers give up 31/32 of their lives. Xingqian didn't want to know at all about this, as long as they personally wanted to, Xingqian couldn't control so much.

Only, it is a good thing that the experiment progresses quickly. Isn't it just a matter of going to the large experimental field for a while to attach a continuous recovery formation.

"Oh, forget it, it's because I didn't think well. I didn't expect you to take out the [Accelerate()] pocket watch and share it. I will solve the user's lifespan issue in a moment."

"Really? Then can I increase the acceleration multiples!"

Dr. Shigemura's old face was full of smiles.

"Hey, it's okay, but you have to sit back and relax. They are all our rare researchers, so save a bit."

"Of course, precious researcher I am a treasure, hehe..."

Hoshiki knew that Dr. Shigemura didn't lie, and he did treasure those precious researchers.

Otherwise, the old guy would not specially arrange his disciples to other independent laboratories, and Kaos would have to notify him of the meeting.

However, the key point is the word [precious]. Only precious researchers can make Dr. Shigemura "baby".

Those who are not talented, have the function of being a screw in the experimental link, and can be replaced at any time... You think too much, just sit down on your own things.

When Dr. Shigemura first experimented with the impact of the acceleration field on the human body, he might have done something like [asking the researchers to accelerate three thousand times faster, a few days later, except for Dr. Shigemura himself]. .

Xingke felt that if it were Dr. Shigemura, such a thing might really be possible.

"Then, I will wait and see now, as the lives of the researchers have been overdrawn and the research results accelerated."

"Hehehe, that's absolute."

This time, Dr. Shigemura would not be as embarrassed by the report of the experiment progress as the last time.

"The first is the virtual reality expansion technology. We have basically mastered it. How to achieve timely interaction between the human brain and quantum computers is one point.

Then, how to make the five senses of vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste built by the computer in advance, and even the sense of gravity, tiredness, fall, syncope, etc., or cold and warm senses. We can easily send electromagnetic signals directly to the human brain through small sensory categories such as pressure, pressure, etc.

Even instead of signals that the human brain should have received from other organs, the idea of ​​allowing humans to enter a false world completely simulated by computers was formally established.

Since then, the foundation of [Virtual Reality Expansion Technology] has been established.

Moreover, the hardware equipment required for [Virtual Reality Expansion] has also been compressed to the lowest cost due to the successful development of micro quantum computers.

Although the size and production cost of the equipment may vary due to different functions, they are all controlled within the scope of personal carrying..."

"Can you give me a rough figure for the specific production cost? Doctor?"

I thought that the star carving was more prudent, just in case, to prevent credulity in the nonsense of this unreliable old man, and then happy, so I decided to ask the price.

After all, this old man has not been in contact with the human civilization outside the world for many years, and he is not like a young man like Higa who often buys various things online.

He might have some partial rebuttals about the current prices?

And if the cost price of a virtual reality device can be compressed into the retail price of a high-end gaming computer, Starcut will certainly be happy.

Because in that case, it is much less difficult to popularize this kind of equipment. As long as Xingqi chooses true zero-profit management, this kind of value-for-money technology products will soon become popular.

Don't think that the price of this high-tech is absolutely tens or hundreds of times higher than the price of civilian personal computers, because the [retail price] cannot be compared with the [zero profit cost price] of Xingqi.

One looks super cool, and the business advertisement says it adopts the latest technology, various functions and the latest personal computer or mobile phone mobile terminal of the same kind of products, you can believe it when it was launched Is that price actually more than ten times its cost price?

Can you imagine how profitable manufacturers of electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers are? Can you imagine why three stars and one electronics company support a great country?

Many people should know that many electronic devices will drop to a quarter of their original price within three years. This is a phenomenon that can be seen everywhere, right?

Do you really think that the cost is cheaper because the manufacturer's production technology has improved?

Nonsense.

The truth is simply true [how bold people are, how productive the land is].

Although there are many profiteering industries, as an industry that [modern people's necessities, but not subject to national macro-control like food and energy], the electronic equipment industry is the real big profit.

How did Xingke know? Then you don't look at who is now monopolizing the neon electronic equipment industry.

If Xingke took a look at Shuangma Electronics' bill income every day, and then counted the number of zeros, he would have to count to the point of dizziness.

Don’t you know how painful it is to [count money and get cramps].

Now there is no electronic brand other than Shuangma brand in neon, OK? Compared with Shuangma, the products of other brands have no advantages over product quality and functionality. Can't sell at low price.

After all, the transportation costs for products shipped from foreign factories and those shipped from the unmanned factories in the local underground of Neon are different.

And now, in order to promote a new way of life, Xingqi is preparing to sell [virtual reality equipment] at a [zero profit cost price]-you can imagine how cheap that price is.

But the so-called "zero profit cost sales", it is impossible for Xingker to lose money.

Because [Zero Profit Cost Sales] is actually the [Zero Profit Cost] after calculating the cost from production to transportation, to labor, etc., it is [Zero Profit] that Xingqian will not lose money.

This is the merchant, there will never be such behavior as [returning profit], only [returning to the original price] exists.

…………

Dr. Shigemura hesitated a little, but still took out the tablet in his hand, called up a data page and handed it to Xingke's hand.

Because to be honest, he himself didn't have much confidence in the price evaluation he made. If he was full of confidence just now, if he let him deliberate on it, he would soon be shaken.

"Delete all the superfluous things, so that the user's experience can reach 97% of the bare metal experience... Can the cost only overwhelm here?

Reluctantly, anyway, there is no idea of ​​making money from this. "

After reading this page of the tablet, Star Engraved habitually turned back, and was a little curious about the content of the next few pages, all kinds of very different devices.

But he didn't ask much, just put the tablet on the table and continued to ask:

"So, the basic technical support is there, what about other research? You continue."

Seeing that his big boss is still satisfied, Dr. Shigemura breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this year's experimental budget has been preserved.

"Ahem, in the subsequent derivative research, I split the original researchers."

"Oh? Is it going in multiple directions simultaneously?"

"Yes, in terms of basic technology, multiple research directions are being carried out at the same time. For this reason, several other derivative models different from the prototype [VR-0] have been born... Kayaba, you come first."

"is teacher."

Akihiko Kaaba sat up straight in response, and when he talked about his research direction, there was a special light in his eyes.

"The direction of my research is about the construction and management of the virtual world. I think this is the aspect that you are most concerned about, Mr. Bowman."

Xingke looked at Kayaba Akihiko strangely, wanting to see something through his eyes.

"... Indeed, my name for this project is [New World Creation Project]. My original request for you also appeared in fantasy literature, about the idea of ​​[brain in a tank].

Of course I will be concerned about the research on the construction of [virtual world]. "

Without any negative meaning, Xing Ke expressed his thoughts frankly.

"understood……"

I don’t know if Kayaba Akihiko agreed with Xingke’s answer, but he didn’t say anything more~lightnovelpub.net~ slowly began to talk about his research results:

"The perfect construction of a virtual world is not just to work **** the degree of simulation, but in many aspects.

After all, as long as the visual fidelity reaches 97%, most humans can no longer distinguish the difference between reality and virtuality.

In order to better construct the virtual world, a smooth human-computer interaction, that is, the [action engine], is indispensable. It allows users to move their bodies as they want in the virtual world without any sense of disobedience. This is one aspect of my research.

On the other hand, I am building an interactive platform based on the Internet that links all users of the virtual world.

Through this platform, not only can two or more virtual world users interact, communicate, and even touch in the real world.

You can also use this platform to link two virtual worlds with different rules..."

"Because of the direction of my research, the model born in my hands is actually not much different from the prototype.

Considering that the users of this model will be ordinary individuals, I have improved the battery life, storage and safety functions of this model, using an integrated, streamlined, and lightweight product design, taking into account wearing comfort Sex..."

"This is the helmet with goggles?"

Xingke pointed to a page on the tablet, interrupted Kayaba Akihiko in a strange tone, and asked.

But Akihiko Kaaba just fell silent for a while, and continued blankly:

"Yes, that's the helmet with goggles. The goggles are a small virtual projection screen.

After simplifying the operating system of this virtual reality device the most, I named it——

[NERvGear]. "
