Time flies, and when the name Si Qi once again entered everyone's vision, it was already the college entrance examination in June of the following year.
After the name of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Province B was announced, people gradually recalled a certain memory from half a year ago when they saw the familiar name that they could not associate with for a while.
When they finally remembered where they had seen this name before, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and they quickly searched for related names on the Internet to confirm the authenticity of their memories.
Before they could find the user from that year, they saw the keyword #B Province Liberal Arts Champion Si Qi# directly on the hot search terms.
I clicked on it and found that it was indeed the private account I visited once before. The latest content on it read: [[Victory gesture][Victory gesture] As expected, I won the first place, hehe~[Proud.jpg]]
Just two hours after the Weibo post was published, the number of comments below exploded. Countless netizens left messages saying "worship the great god" and "kneel down to him". The atmosphere in the entire comment area was full of joy. I saw many passers-by click the like button and forward the post below, sighing: "Children these days are really amazing. Not only are they excellent in academic performance, but they can also be so outstanding in their hobbies."
Until that night, more and more netizens came here following the trending search. Passersby flipped through Si Qi's past speeches and were surprised:
"Wait, you have such good grades, you are not really going to that film school?"
"You can shoot videos anytime, but you are a top scorer in the college entrance examination and want to be a director. You are really crazy! Won't your parents stop you? If my son was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and went to make a movie, I would definitely slap him a few times!"
"Child, don't be dazzled by the colorful world outside. Being a director and shooting big stars looks glamorous, but it is actually self-degradation! You must cherish your abilities and contribute to the country."
"If you really become a movie director, I tell you, I will definitely boycott any movie you shoot! We cannot encourage such unhealthy trends!"
"Boycott +1!"
"He's simply wasting his talent! If you have time to waste, can't you study hard and read more books?"
"I think this kid got carried away after being praised too much after winning the award. Tsk tsk, he should be sobered up!"
More and more confused comments like this flooded into Si Qi's comment section. Many fans who have been following Si Qi for a long time were full of questions. Later, they were gradually led astray by the views of this group of people. They felt that Si Qi's behavior was a little wrong, and they shrank back, not knowing how to talk.
After Si Lin woke up the next day, he happily opened Weibo, wanting to continue reading netizens praising his brother. Who would have thought that after opening the screen, he would be filled with obscene words, curses and swearing, which made him furious! !
Si Lin was furious and was about to turn on his computer to "show off his skills" and fight for three days and three nights with those bastards who dared to insult his brother. Then Si Qi knocked on the door, and walked in as Si Lin quickly turned off the computer and pretended to be well-behaved, and said to Si Lin: "Xiao Lin, didn't you say last time that the AR glasses were ready?"
Si Lin nodded quickly: "It's ready, I'm just waiting for my brother's program."
Si Qi smiled: "I just happened to have written the program here, can you take me around the factory and download the program to the glasses?"
Seeing Si Qi's cheerful look, Si Lin obviously thought that Si Qi didn't know what happened on Weibo last night. He didn't want Si Qi to know at all, so he quickly said, "Okay, I'll take my brother over, you wait for me!"
After saying that, he kept an eye on Si Qi, worried that Si Qi would take out his phone to check Weibo at this moment. At the same time, he called the driver he hired a few months ago and asked the driver to drive the car downstairs and wait.
Then he took Si Qi's hand and led him downstairs, looking impatient, which made Si Qi laugh and cry: "Why are you so impatient today?"
Si Lin pretended to be stupid: "Really? I'm just looking forward to it too much!"
Si Qi nodded in understanding: "After all, you said you wanted it so long ago. Brother is still a little slow. It took me so long to make the thing for you."
Seeing Si Qi actually showing a guilty expression, Si Lin widened his eyes and said angrily: "How could it be! Brother, you wrote so many programs by yourself, writing, testing, architecture... You have to do it all by yourself. It's amazing that you can get it done in half a year!"
Thinking back, he spent a year to understand all the content of AR, making an external carrier (glasses), hiring programmers to write programs, and more than 20 people worked together. It took more than half a year to almost complete the basic framework. Now Si Qi is doing dozens of things by himself, which is already amazing!
Moreover, Si Qi has been focusing on studying movies, and occasionally has to spend time preparing for the college entrance examination (……). His brother is so busy, how can Si Lin bear to urge him!
He said angrily: "I don't like my brother saying these things."
Si Qi laughed dumbly and rubbed his brother's head: "Well, I won't say it anymore in the future."
He was pulled by Si Lin to get in the car, and the two of them came all the way to a private factory near the suburbs.
Because it was an experiment, they were not prepared to produce it on a large scale here, so the two did not hire additional employees, and others did not know what kind of amazing things were in this inconspicuous little house.
In order to prevent Si Qi from focusing on Weibo, Si Lin was very active throughout the whole process. He trotted to the instrument and took out the glasses from the dust-free storage box.
This is a pair of plain glasses without prescription. If users with myopia or hyperopia want to change the lenses later, it is no problem, but the price will be higher.
The frame is a very technological silver-gray color. It is light and not cumbersome. Even people who have never worn glasses can quickly adapt to it.
If you want to change to other colors and styles later, it is no problem as long as the parts inside the frame are not damaged.
Si Lin made this thing by hand once in his previous life, and he was still very skilled this time. Under Si Qi's command, the legs of the glasses were removed to reveal the complex parts inside. The computer was then connected to a dedicated device to download the software to the chip inside the glasses.
After a while, a layer of blue light flashed on the transparent lenses, just like the boot interface of a computer screen. Lines of character strings jumped up and down quickly on the lenses, looking particularly mysterious.
After downloading the program, Si Lin couldn't wait to pick up the glasses and put them on his nose. Soon, the built-in headphones in the glasses rang in his ears through bone sensing, welcoming him to use them.
The reason for using bones to transmit sound is that even if someone is talking to the user next to them, they will not be unable to hear the outside sounds because of "wearing headphones", and it will not cause traffic accidents.
His brother was really thoughtful...
Si Lin sighed, looking at the interface that was infinitely more beautiful and user-friendly than he had imagined, and said to Si Qi: "Brother, I like these glasses so much! Brother, you are amazing!"
Si Qi chuckled: "Your brother has always been so awesome~"
Si Lin nodded in agreement.
As he nodded, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head abruptly, and said to Si Qi: "Brother! Let's make a short film!!"
Si Qi was puzzled: "Short film?"
Si Lin said excitedly: "Promotional short film!!!"
...
When Si Qi was pestered by Si Lin to shoot a short film and had no chance to go online, the discussion (swearing) about Si Qi on the Internet became more and more intense, from the beginning of "Should top students degenerate and become directors", extended to "Why do outsiders have the right to point fingers at children's lives", and shifted to "Do you look down on the film and television industry? Do you think that being in the arts is inferior to other industries?", and then to "The college entrance examination can really determine a person's life. What is more important is the temporary performance or his future impact on society?" It was extremely lively.
Si Qi, who has become the center of the topic, has not made any public statement. This "playing dead" style is very different from his past personality of particularly liking to join in the fun. Many people say that he is afraid and has retreated.
Fans who like Si Qi's videos speak for Si Qi and express their support for Si Qi to do what he likes to do. At the same time, they are disappointed with Si Qi's shrinking behavior and feel that Si Qi has failed their expectations.
Passersby think that Si Qi's failure to express his position and promise that he will change his major to a more suitable school is a deliberate attempt to keep things quiet and to wait a few months to secretly enter the film school, so they pretended not to see it. Every day, they would check in and go to Si Qi's Weibo to scold him, saying that they would scold him every day if he didn't change his mind, and they would not stop until Si Qi came to his senses.
This went on for a week, and suddenly the fans who followed Si Qi's Weibo received a software reminder that Si Qi was finally online.
They couldn't wait to send Si Qi a private message, asking if he was scared, if he would really change his mind, and wanted Si Qi to express his attitude.
As a result, they didn't wait for Si Qi's reply, but waited for a video first.
And there was a note above the video: "Celebrate the good results in the college entrance examination, forward this to draw a lottery for ten lucky viewers, and give them a pair of AR glasses~~~"
Everyone: ? ? ? ?
What the hell?
We are discussing (arguing) here, and you are standing here like nothing happened, taking advantage of the situation and holding a lottery?!
All of a sudden, the insults against Si Qi became more and more exaggerated. Many people insisted that Si Qi come out and give them an explanation. They looked so angry and frustrated, as if Si Qi owed them millions. It was a bit real. Passersby were puzzled. They couldn't understand why a kid got the top score in the exam and was so happy to give a lottery to others. These people actually acted like Si Qi owed the whole world an apology and insisted that he give everyone an explanation. It's
really interesting. Isn't it their freedom to choose what school they want to go to in college? Even parents can only make suggestions and cannot maliciously tamper with them. What qualifications do you, a group of passersby, have to make them come out and "must give them an explanation"?
Thinking of this, they clicked on Si Qi's video and watched it leisurely.
As soon as they saw it, they were instantly attracted by the picture in the video.
At the beginning, a paragraph of white text jumped quickly on the dark page, asking them: "Do you want to experience the high-tech life of the future in 2022?"
"Then follow me!"
The screen lit up, and the audience saw "themselves" lying on the bed from a first-person perspective. The dark vision slowly opened up, and what came into view was the quiet bedroom, the soft bed, and the sunlight outside the house that faintly came through the gap in the curtains beside them.
It was already morning.
So "I" slowly got up, stretched my waist, picked up the glasses from the bedside table and put them on.
As soon as I put them on, the quiet world instantly became completely different.
A kind female voice came to the protagonist's ears, saying: "Good morning, it is now 8:10 in the morning, the weather is sunny and turning to light rain, please take an umbrella with you when you go out in the afternoon. Your schedule for today is: go to the company to handle the handover task of Mr. Zhang, reply to last night's email, and choose a birthday gift for your niece in a week."
As the voice sounded, lines of text popped up in front of the protagonist's eyes. These words floated in the air, as if they really existed, which was incredible.
However, the protagonist in the picture was accustomed to this. He yawned, got up, washed, and quickly left home to go to work at the company.
As soon as he went out, a familiar electronic light screen appeared in front of him. The apartment under construction next door was surrounded by yellow and black light bands, reminding passers-by not to enter. The trash cans, self-service vending machines, and scan-code bicycles passing by him will pop up prompts when he passes by, indicating that they can be activated at any time.
He stood in front of the self-service vending machine and scanned the QR code casually without stopping. While walking, he clicked on the "menu" in the air, chose a rich breakfast, and chose to "pick up" at the bus stop.
He walked to the bus stop, and the same self-service vending machine next to the platform just made his breakfast. He took out the hot breakfast and looked at the light screen in the air: "Bus No. 68 will arrive at 00:03:21", the protagonist ate while waiting, and when the number jumped to zero, the car just drove in front of him.
He scanned the code to get on the bus, and the distance and time for the vehicle to reach the target platform appeared next to his field of vision. He waved his hand to sweep the screen to the corner, leaving only an icon to remind him to get off the bus at the time. He clicked on his parents' video chat, and two figures "stood" beside him, as if two living people really teleported in front of him.
But everyone knows that this is not real. Because there are two red and green buttons below the protagonist's field of vision, one is to turn the camera on and off, and the other is to hang up the call.
"Mom, how was the result of the check-up at the hospital yesterday?"
The two old people "stood" next to him and smiled and replied: "It's good, you don't have to worry..."
As they spoke, the camera shot switched to the old people very naturally. They are shopping in a supermarket. There are several items on the shopping cart. The corner shows the accumulated amount and the list of goods to be purchased.
Pick up a box of fruit on the shelf, and the sales amount, picking date, and production site of the fruit will pop up on the fruit. Put the fruit in the shopping basket and ask the supermarket's docking system: "Where is the milk?" A cursor guide that seems to appear only in games soon appears on the ground, telling the old man where the milk is.
When they arrived at the milk shelf, the old people looked carefully and found that the skim milk they liked to drink was out of stock. The words "out of stock" floated in the shelf. The old man reached out and clicked on the word "out of stock", and the screen quickly popped up two options: "06:18:53 before the goods are put on the shelves" and "Deliver the goods to my home".
After clicking the button, the accumulated amount in the shopping cart increased a little, indicating that they had purchased such an item. The last item on the shopping list was automatically crossed out, and the old man pushed the cart to the cashier.
The cashier counter is actually a place where customers can transfer items to their shopping bags. There is no need to calculate the amount or hire a dedicated cashier. As long as the customer walks out of the supermarket with the items, the amount will be automatically deducted from their account.
While checking out, the old man saw a handsome star holding merchandise in his hand. Several girls came over and looked at the star happily, then reached out to take the same drink as the star and put it in the shopping cart.
When the finger accidentally touched the star, the fingertip passed through the star's "body", which was obviously another virtual projection that only appeared on the screen of the glasses.
The old men picked up the bags, and the deduction reminder sounded, and they walked out of the supermarket.
At the same time, the son's "beep" sounded, reminding him to get off the car. With music as the medium, the camera smoothly and naturally switched to the son who just walked out the door. After saying goodbye to his parents, he walked into the company to punch in for work.
The company was also very lively, and a steady stream of emails "flew" in front of him, reminding him that this was the work assigned to him today. He sat back at his workstation, looked at the ordinary "cubicle" in front of him, and clicked "mode switch".
As he moved, the small office in his vision gradually turned into an endless seaside villa facing the sea, a bright forest with birds singing and flowers blooming, and a mysterious universe with twinkling stars... He didn't like any of these. This white-collar worker with a quiet appearance and a wild heart changed the office into a nightclub style. The exciting music sounded beside him. He hummed a song, tapped the beat with his feet, and opened the computer in a relaxed mood to start his work today.
The audience in front of the screen was stunned. Just when they wanted to say that this video was really interesting, the next second, in the high-pitched music, the spotlights flew around and gathered on the stage.
A handsome boy of 17 or 18 years old jumped to the center of the stage, wearing a handsome sequined dance costume. He performed a casual dance while holding a microphone and announced loudly: "Do you like this kind of life?!"
The disco crowd below shouted in unison: "I like it!!"
The boy raised his head and laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth. His dark and bright eyes looked directly at the camera and said to the people in front of the screen: "If you like it, join us!"
With a "sizzle", the white-collar worker took off his glasses and rubbed his tired eyebrows. Everything that seemed to have happened just now suddenly became quiet, leaving only the ordinary office scene that people are very familiar with.
It was not until this time that they suddenly realized that everything they saw in the video was brought by this pair of glasses, whether it was video communication, guidance on the ground, or even the prompt sound beside their ears.
The next second, the glasses were put back on, and the boy who was still on the stage playfully came to the camera and said to the audience: "Ten lucky audience members will be picked to experience the AR glasses for free! What are you still standing there for? Share it quickly!"
After that, the screen turned completely black.
People sat in front of the screen in a daze for several seconds, and then suddenly reacted and said in disbelief: "What?! Are there really such glasses?!"
They closed the full-screen video and refreshed the Weibo page. The latest messages flooded into the comment section in droves. The comments that were originally chattering about "the top scorer in the college entrance examination blah blah" were drowned out. Everyone was shouting "Wow" in shock, and kept saying "too awesome", "it's like watching a science fiction movie", and then urgently asked: "Are there really such glasses? Are you kidding me!"
The crazy comment section attracted the curiosity of more and more netizens. They watched the video one by one, and said it was exciting. Although they didn't know whether Si Qi was joking or not, they wanted to share such an interesting video with their friends even if there was no lottery.
Gradually, the hot discussion about "AR glasses" gradually overshadowed the previous controversy about "the top scholar becoming a director". People gradually came back to their senses from the video and began to discuss "when can such technology be realized". Si Qi, who had disappeared after dropping a heavy bomb, ran out again and said happily: "Everything in the video is real. The protagonist, the two elderly people, the stars, and the fans are all my teachers and classmates who made friendly appearances~ As for whether the AR glasses are real or fake, you can wait until the ten lucky fans get the glasses and see their feedback~"
"Also, please don't worry about what college I'm going to. I developed these glasses while I was in high school. I'm such a genius, it doesn't matter what school I go to. Film school is my dream, and I'll be angry with anyone who tries to stop me from pursuing my dream~~[little dinosaur roars.jpg]"
The netizens who were arguing fiercely suddenly exploded, and thousands of messages came flooding in.
"Are there really such glasses?!"
"You said you made AR glasses when you were in high school? That's not the way to brag!"
"This is even more ridiculous than the provincial top scholar winning an international award by casually shooting a short video - oh, you are the provincial top scholar? And you have won an international award? Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Hit me, hit me!! I'm willing to sacrifice my precious time to help everyone test the authenticity of the glasses! (Dog head)"
"If it can really be done like in the video, it would be amazing... The whole world will be shocked, right?"
"With these glasses, mobile phones will probably be eliminated directly, as well as computers, televisions, cinemas..."
“Oh my god, it’s so cool to be able to switch the office environment with just one click, right? Doesn’t that mean that the decoration of the home can also be switched with just one click? Nordic style today, fairy tale style tomorrow, flower-planting style the day after tomorrow, and floating in the universe the day after tomorrow. This is too dreamy!”
“Wow, I was just wondering if stereo projection can really be so high-definition? Then when I go to a concert in the future, won’t I be able to see my idol singing in front of me?! I burst into tears!!”
Along with the heated discussions of netizens, Si Qi’s video was directly pushed to the top of the hot search headlines and was even shared on other platforms by many professional bloggers.
A professional wrote: "This video shot by the top scorer in the college entrance examination was actually proposed by someone a long time ago.
"Everyone should have heard of VR games, or 'holographic games', that is, creating a virtual world through data calculations. This semi-virtual picture based on reality is called AR, which exists half-true and half-false in reality.
"Although it is half-true and half-false, the difficulty of implementation is no less than VR.
"Many professionals are trying to overcome the difficulties, whether it is background program development, hardware and software compatibility; or controlling user privacy, not letting the camera that is always turned on touch sensitive areas, at least it must not block the user's line of sight, otherwise it is easy to cause security problems.
"You can imagine, if the virtual images can really be restored to that level. Then if a hacker hacks into your AR glasses and makes you believe that the cliff in front of you is a safe plain, and you step on empty air... how terrifying it would be. Or suddenly a python, spider, or even a fierce ghost that you fear the most is "released" next to you, which is enough to make you panic and accidentally fall down the stairs or hit a car.
"So the main research goal in the field of AR in the world is to make people with poor eyesight wear glasses to automatically shrink or enlarge the picture in front of them, or play some simple games, translate the text in the book... It is impossible to achieve the magical level in the video.
"Personally, I am more inclined to believe that this video is just a joke, not real. After all, although the top scorers in the college entrance examination are very powerful, there are always a dozen or so every year. And those who participate in the research of AR are all postgraduates and doctors. So many professionals have been engaged in this industry for more than ten years, and they have not been able to research anything groundbreaking... A high school student who is still studying, researched it "by the way" while taking the college entrance examination... Haha. Whether it is true or not, readers can figure it out for themselves. "
After reading these articles, netizens who didn't believe in the story expressed their disappointment. Those who had previously criticized Si Qi for wasting his talent were furious, saying that it was ridiculous that Si Qi came up with such a stupid trick to deceive them in order to get away with it.
Despite this, even though the majority of people on the Internet did not believe in the story, they still did not hesitate to click the forwarding button and share the video.
After all...
"What if? What if I just happen to win the prize?"
