It is now 2009 in the 21st century. With the popularity of electronic products such as computers and mobile phones, electronic games are indeed a big hit.
But Stark Industries developing games? No matter how you look at it, this is too low-class. After all, Stark Industries is the leader of technology and weapons companies!
Noticing Eddie's doubt, Caesar was not angry. He said in a confident tone: "What do you know? What I want to create is not just a game, but a world."
"world?"
Eddie mumbled to himself, not understanding for a moment.
Caesar did not explain too much, and said to the Lord God solemnly: "Lord God, there is one last technological problem that must be overcome - I need to create an instrument, preferably a helmet-like model and size, so that humans can use it as a medium to connect their five senses and sensory centers to the virtual space we created."
Eddie was stunned when he heard this. Considering everything that had happened before, he suddenly realized that an incredible black-tech product was about to be born.
The studio was silent.
The Lord God did not respond immediately, but the display screen kept flashing data codes. If you were in the supercomputer equipment room at this moment, you would definitely see countless chips and hardware heating up rapidly, the water cooling equipment running frantically, and a huge torrent of data surging on the cable network.
After a long while, the Lord God responded: "It has been solved. The equipment development is tentatively set as 'holographic VR helmet technology'!"
Chapter 370: Cross-Century Platform, the Birth of Skynet
Three days later.
Nearly half a week has passed since Caesar issued the press conference, and there are only four days left before the one-week deadline he had previously stated.
During this period, the urban area of New York City was calm. The terrorists were not in a hurry to attack Caesar, and Caesar did not announce the positioning and concept of new products. Both sides seemed to be in a period of confrontation and remained silent.
The employees of Stark Industries have been working overtime these days, seemingly busy with research and development and production of something. A 30-meter-high iron tower was also built in the internal area of the industry. Its specific purpose is unknown. The media wanted to interview some senior executives, but they refused to disclose the information citing confidentiality agreements.
Everything fell into the calm before the storm.
Thanks to the emergence of Caesar, the Son of God, who took up the lead, Stark Industries stopped its downward trend and its stock even showed signs of recovery. However, this was all because most people maintained a high level of expectations.
Everyone wants to know whether Caesar can replace Iron Man Tony and continue to develop fascinating black technology products. Perhaps even the terrorists hiding in the dark are also watching.
at this time.
Tennessee, northern United States.
Snowflakes as big as goose feathers drifted down from ten thousand meters in the sky, covering the city with a thick layer of silver. The sharp cold wind blew through the streets and alleys, making an extremely sad wailing sound.
In a luxurious duplex villa located on the outskirts of the city, armed bodyguards wearing sunglasses are guarding both inside and outside the house. A man and a woman are confronting each other in the lobby on the first floor where the heater is burning brightly.
The man in a suit was sitting on a leather chair with his legs crossed. He was about forty years old, with slight marks of time on his face. His dark blond hair was combed back straight and shiny, and he had a gentle, elegant, and confident smile on his face.
About three meters opposite him, Potts was also sitting on a chair, staring fiercely at the man in the suit with her beautiful eyes, her pretty face filled with disgust and contempt.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a blonde beauty immediately came forward to serve him wine. He took a sip of red wine from the goblet and said to Potts, "Miss Potts, you don't have to look at me like that. I don't want to hurt you. Maybe we can sit at the table and drink wine and have a pleasant conversation like before."
"Heh. Killian, since you've resorted to such dirty tricks, stop pretending to be a gentleman." Potts raised his hands expressionlessly. His fair wrists were locked in shackles, along with the chair he was sitting on.
Killian showed a surprised expression, like a thief crying "stop thief", and shouted to the bodyguard beside him: "Well, what did you do to the respected Miss Potts? Someone come and remove the chains!"
"No need to pretend!"
Seeing the bodyguards approaching, Potts glanced at them coldly, then looked at Killian calmly and said, "What exactly do you want to achieve by attacking me and Stark Industries?"
"What's the purpose? Of course, to destroy everything Tony Stark owns with my own hands!"
Speaking of Tony, Killian finally took off his usual gentleman mask, his face slightly distorted, and he said in a stern voice with his ugly face showing: "Isn't he very arrogant and conceited? I want to see what kind of expression he has when he loses everything."
"You're committing a crime," Potts responded mercilessly.
Kilian opened his hands and said as a matter of course: "What's wrong with committing a crime? As long as you have the power, you can be above the law. This is what the group of characters called 'superheroes' in the world told me."
"It's a pity that you will never become a superhero." Potts chuckled and looked at Killian with contempt. "Even if a one-year-old child can become a superhero, you will never have that chance."
"Using the Ultimate Biological Project, I can master extraordinary powers and create a powerful force that does not require anyone to recognize it."
Killian retorted coldly, putting down the goblet and narrowing his eyes dangerously, "I know that the appearance of Caesar, the so-called Son of God, has ignited a glimmer of hope in your heart, and made Stark Industries seem to be on its feet. But without a real product release, Stark Industries is always on the edge of a cliff. You don't think that a one-year-old child can really replace Tony Stark, do you?"
Potts lowered his head and said nothing. Having followed Tony for so long, he had seen countless geniuses and scientists, but he couldn't find even one who could compete with Tony in the field of technological manufacturing.
Dr. Banner is half a scientist, but he is a scientist in the biological field...
"Boss! Something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a bodyguard pushed the door open and rushed into the hall, causing Jillian, who had just taken a sip of red wine, to choke.
"What's the matter? Why are you yelling?!"
Killian took out a towel, wiped his mouth, and glared at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard didn't care about being scolded and quickly reported: "Boss. Stark Industries really released a new product! Just five minutes ago, it was still on pre-sale on the official website!"
"What did you say?"
Killian opened his eyes wide in shock. He didn't want to pay attention to Potts anymore. He jumped up from his chair and grabbed the bodyguard's hand and said hastily, "Come on, take me to see it!"
The bodyguard immediately took Killian to the basement. As soon as they entered the room, Killian waved his hand to drive away the researchers on the computer chairs, and then he sat down on it and used the mouse to open the official website of Stark Industries.
When I first entered the official website, I saw a colorful map that took up the entire computer screen. It was really a promotion and introduction of the newly released products. The large and small headlines that caught my eye were simple and crude:
[Social Games, Virtual Reality—Skynet]
[This is a game, but it's no joke! ]
"Games? Stark Industries has fallen to the point of making games? It's really just a boring trick played by children."
Jillian smiled and scrolled down to continue browsing the introduction below.
In the middle was a question that startled Jillian, who couldn't help but read it out loud:
“Are you disappointed with reality and want to have a brand new life experience? Are you unwilling to be mediocre and want to become a celebrity that everyone pays attention to? Are you imprisoned by your environment and want to experience the fantasy world and the universe as you please
In Skynet, you can get everything and start a new gaming life with equality and freedom. "
It must be said that even Jillian was a little tempted by this question, but following the hostile stance, he sneered and said: "No matter how good it is, it's still more than just a game."
Scrolling further down the webpage, there is a short video introducing the product.
Jilian clicked play, and a three-dimensional product model in the shape of a technological helmet appeared in the video, rotating 360 degrees, accompanied by a mechanical and cold voice explanation:
"On this day in 2009, Stark Industries made breakthroughs in advanced technologies such as the human body and information, and produced a holographic VR helmet that can transmit the five senses of the human body and simulate hormones. Through this holographic VR helmet, players can go online and connect to the virtual world - Skynet, break free from the constraints of the human body, and descend into a brand new world to experience..."
"Virtual world, is this really just a game?"
Kilian's palms trembled slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He scrolled down the webpage to the bottom, which was about the pre-sale of the holographic VR helmet.
