At the third opportunity to ask questions, Zhou Xing randomly selected a middle-aged male reporter who was slightly overweight.
The male reporter stood up and took the microphone passed by other reporters, and asked quickly: "Mr. Zhou, I am Gao Lin, a reporter from Xinyang.com. After the intelligent robot, the virtual cockpit is another disruptive invention. We It seems that our lives are about to undergo huge changes again? Prophet of Chunjiang Plumbing Duck, you are at the forefront of social change, can you tell us how these middle-aged laggards should adapt?"
Hearing this question, many older reporters at the venue were quite emotional. The pace of society is too fast, especially the constant upgrading of new technological products. Those of them who are still young are okay, and some of the older generation cannot even use smartphones. , they seem to have been eliminated by society. Now it seems that huge technological changes are about to happen again. They are older and have fixed mindsets, and this fast-paced change is a bit overwhelming.
"It's different. The virtual cockpit is different from other electronic devices. Its development field and direction are completely different. The future will be a virtual world composed of virtual environments. I firmly believe that in the near future, virtual devices will eventually replace computers. , the human Internet will be a virtual world, and you who have rich life experience will be more calm and adaptable to this change!" Zhou Xing nodded and said with a smile.
"Impossible! This is a fantasy world, right?"
"I didn't say how many years later! Maybe we are all dead!"
"Absurd, so ridiculous. Will the future of mankind be like the Matrix, hiding in game cabins and living a virtual life?"
"It's whimsical, but according to the development trend of mankind, the future is not impossible!"
…
After listening to Zhou Xing's answer, a question mark popped up in the reporters' minds. The Star Cockpit replaced computers, and the virtual world replaced the human Internet. It was too science fiction and too unrealistic. There was a lot of discussion at the venue, and there were many doubters.
…
Everything that happens at the exhibition is broadcast live to all parts of the world through cameras.
At the National Convention Center in the capital, when the product launch conference of Shining Star Group was entering its climax, a group of old men and women who were leisurely reading the market to pass the time in a securities hall in the capital suddenly changed their expressions.
The A-share index suddenly plummeted, tens of billions of funds fled en masse in an instant, hundreds of stocks suddenly received huge sell orders, and the market index jumped 5% in a moment.
"What's going on? Can anyone tell me what's going on? All VR-themed stocks have dropped to the limit and can't be sold?" An old man who didn't pay attention to the product launch of Shining Star Group stared at the stocks in his account that had dropped to the limit, horrified. He asked his companions.
"I don't know either! What a terrible selling! What happened? What policies has the country introduced? Educational topics have also dropped! What is going on?" The old lady who was being questioned stared at the market with enlarged eyes.
"Many stocks have dropped to their limit! Fortunately, they are not mine! It's too scary!" A middle-aged woman looked at the market with a frightened look on her face and said:
"It's over! It's over, my coffin books! They're all folded inside! This kind of selling volume is probably going to hit the bottom tomorrow!" An old lady with white hair burst into tears anxiously.
"Internet themes have plummeted? Education themes have dropped to the limit? Huge sales of VR themes have sealed the limit... No negative policies have been introduced? What is going on? Is the financial crisis coming again?"
"Sell it! Sell it quickly! Whoever buys my stock, I will never trade in the stock market again!"
“…”
"Wow! Many people are going to jump off the building this time. People who buy VR-themed stocks and Internet stocks are in trouble! Come and watch this live broadcast!" A shocked voice suddenly came from the panicked crowd in the securities hall.
With the launch of the exhibition, when Zhou Xing detailed the specific technical information, tutorial applications, and future prospects of the virtual cockpit, it seemed that the "VR industry" was sentenced to death again and again. When the virtual cockpit revealed its ferocious face, various countries The entire VR industry in the stock market suffered an instant panic sell-off. All stocks related to VR plummeted and fell to the limit. The huge selling volume directly hit the limit.
The emergence of the virtual cockpit concept caused huge shocks in the global stock market. The VR industry, education industry, gaming industry, and Internet industry were the first to bear the brunt and suffered huge declines. If the situation is allowed to develop, it is not impossible that the VR industry will be destroyed, and many beneficiaries will benefit from it. How could he just sit back and wait for death, closing his eyes and waiting for death
As soon as the concept of the Starry Virtual Cabin came out, stocks in various fields plummeted. Those with vested interests immediately invested huge sums of money to bribe major media around the world, published various red herrings, reasoning that lacked theoretical support, threw dirty water... and other articles with such arguments, smearing them. destroy and denigrate the real effect of the virtual cockpit.
"This kind of biochip technology affects human nerves. Before its safety effect is proven, national policy will never allow it to be adopted."
"I agree with Professor Ge. This kind of virtual technology has a huge impact on society! It has subverted many industries. In order to maintain social stability, it will not be widely promoted within ten years."
"Honestly, I still find this virtual technology incredible..."
“…”
With the help of huge sums of money, world-famous commentators, experts and scholars have appeared on the platform one after another to advocate for the VR industry. They have published rigorously structured articles disclosing the shortcomings of virtual cockpit neuron technology, or appeared on major video media to support the VR industry and disparage it. The application prospects of virtual cockpit.
Soon, various related negative reports appeared on the headlines of major media outlets around the world.

"Virtual technology without any theoretical and technical support is just rootless duckweed. This is a commercial hype full of deception."
"Lies and fearmongers should be jailed!"
"Genius scientists who have exhausted their talents can now only rely on lies and hype to maintain their popularity."
…
Television media, websites, radio stations... All forms of media companies around the world, lured by huge sums of money, have all become professional critics, questioning the authenticity of virtual applications and complaining about the VR industry, forming a huge wave of power, belittling the effectiveness of the virtual cockpit and reducing its destructive power.
The power of media propaganda is powerful. Four years is enough to make people forget Zhou Xing’s terrifying research capabilities. Without virtual technology that has been proven over time, people are still unable to understand its true potential. The product launch of Shining Star Group seems to be just a show. Farce, many people are skeptical of Zhou Xing's description and do not believe that the virtual society is about to come.
Affected by this powerful media propaganda and guidance, the next day, stocks in the VR industry, education industry, gaming industry, which plummeted, stopped falling and rebounded, slowly rising, and there was a strong tendency to regain yesterday's front.
