Yunmeng Technology.
Deep inside the Brain Computer Interface Research Institute, there is a laboratory that no one usually goes to.
The man in a white coat was standing in front of a complicated device connected to a recliner, carefully fiddling with the electronic components on the recliner.
If you hadn't looked at the sign hanging on his chest, you wouldn't have recognized him as the boss of Yunmeng Group just by looking at his profile and back. Instead, he looked like a clumsy intern in the company.
one Year.
It has been a year since I went through the formalities of suspending my studies and resigning from positions related to Yunmeng Group.
During this year, Hao Yun repeated the same thing almost every day -
That is to complete the blueprint for immersive virtual reality technology in his mind.
Now, this day is finally coming.
With his nerves tense to the extreme, Hao Yun carefully connected the last original piece to the recliner connected to the device.
The power starts up smoothly!
The hardware facilities are all normal!
Hao Yun was happy in his heart, but his expressionless face was still restrained.
There's still a lot he needs to do.
It’s far from time to celebrate!
As the power is turned on, the signal lights on one side of the equipment light up one after another, followed by the sound of machine operation with a unique rhythm.
The tense nerves relaxed in an instant, just like the flood gushing out of the embankment.
Hao Yun's expressionless face was filled with a smile before he knew it, and he said as if he was done.
"It's done!"
"It's finally done!"
"Hahahahaha, I'm such a genius!"
The sound hit the walls of the laboratory and echoed over and over again in the laboratory.
one Year!
It’s been a year!
For a whole year, he worked hard on this project.
Now that the one-year deadline has expired, fully immersive virtual reality technology is finally complete, and the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this technology.
Feeling unprecedented joy in his heart, Hao Yun put his hand on the cold device.
Almost at the same time, a light blue pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host, the mission is completed!]
[Task: Design an immersive virtual reality device that can be used normally!]
[award:?]
This was a mission triggered a year ago.
To be honest, Hao Yun had completely forgotten about it because he was so focused on studying virtual reality technology.
So when the system pop-up window appeared in front of him, Hao Yun was filled with surprise and joy.
But when he saw the mission reward clearly, his whole body froze.
question mark
What does this mean
Just kidding me.
However, he had no time to think about these things at the moment. Compared with the mission reward, there was something he wanted to verify more.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Wu Fan. The content of the text message was only one sentence -
[Come to my laboratory].
After sending the message, Hao Yun lay down on the recliner, put on his heavy helmet, and at the same time typed a few numbers on the keyboard at the armrest with his index finger.
"Zero, activate the oasis system for me."
oasis.
This is the name Hao Yun gave to the virtual reality system running on this device.
The moment the words fell, light blue text quickly appeared on the display inside the helmet.
[The Oasis system can be started at any time, are you ready?]
"Ready... I've been ready for a long time." Suppressing his excitement, Hao Yun took a deep breath and said with a slightly trembling voice.
He has waited for this moment for too long!
The signal light on the server host flickered slightly, and the line of light blue text gradually disappeared from the display.
[The Oasis system is starting...]
A very slight sting came from the back of his head, like an ant bite.
Almost at the same time, Hao Yun felt that his consciousness was being dragged into an unfathomable darkness.
It was quiet all around, not a sound could be heard.
In this invisible darkness, there is no concept of time and space, and even the boundaries of existence become blurred.
Is this the oasis system
I always feel…
It seems a little different from what you designed
Hao Yun suddenly had an illusion. This illusion was as if all his five senses were cut off and he was unable to obtain information from the outside world. Only his brain for processing information was left.
"Zero...are you there?"
Unable to make a sound, Hao Yun tried hard to call in his heart, but received no response.
Just when he started to panic, a beam of light suddenly came from the bottomless darkness.
The light was very faint, like fireflies floating in the night. However, it was that ray of light that ignited the gradually weakening hope in his heart.
[I am here.]
A line of light blue text was printed directly in his eyes. Although it was only two short words, it was full of a reassuring feeling.
"Where am I? Is this the oasis system? Why do I feel... it's different from what I designed? Is there a bug? Or is it... crashed?"
[neither.]
After a brief silence, Zero continued to enter a line of text.
[But this is indeed not an oasis. We may... have been taken somewhere else.]
Taken somewhere else
Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Is there anyone else who can bypass the Yunmeng Group's firewall, escape Zero's surveillance, and implant a backdoor in the supercomputing center
The probability of this happening is even smaller than the probability of the national football team reaching the World Cup...
"…Then, where were we taken?"
Zero replied calmly.
[You shouldn’t ask me this question, but you should ask yourself.]
[The principle of the Oasis system is to capture dreams, interfere with dreams, and use dreams... Although most calculations are completed on supercomputers, in fact the entities of dreams exist in the user's brain. Isn't this what you told me? ?]
Hao Yun calmed down and thought for a long time.
"...You mean, this is my dream?"
Zero replied.
[If your theory is correct.]
While he was talking, the light spot in Hao Yun's field of vision suddenly enlarged.
And it was magnified hundreds of times, which even made people feel a little dazzling.
The light seemed to have a strange gravity, pulling him out of the bottomless darkness.
Hao Yun blinked hard, and his blurred vision gradually became clearer.
At this time, he found that he was lying on a bed like an operating table, and a man with mosaic features and an unclear face was standing beside the bed where he was lying, smiling at him.
This may seem strange.
After all, his entire face was covered in mosaic, so it was impossible to see his expression clearly.
However, maybe because this is a dream, Hao Yun can see it.
And not only could he "see" it, he could even feel that the smile was filled with kindness.
It was this kindness that made Hao Yun feel at ease.
"Who are you-"
Hao Yun was about to ask who you are, but the man interrupted him with a smile.
"You finally came."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
