Four years later, at the Galaxy Technology press conference.
In the completely dark venue, a big light suddenly lit up, illuminating the center of the stage. Standing above it was a man, Du Hongzhe.
Du Hongzhe, who has become more mature than four years ago, is now standing in the center of the stage with an excited look on his face, introducing the latest products of Galaxy Technology to everyone.
As an emerging enterprise, no one paid attention to the emergence of Galaxy Technology at the beginning. After all, since its establishment four years ago, apart from accepting a huge investment from Ming Zhao, there has been no movement.
Later, some people thought that it was just a functional shell company belonging to Ming Zhao.
Until a month ago, a simple futuristic science fiction video of just a few dozen seconds suddenly became a hot search on major websites and became popular all over the world.
In fact, when you click on this video, it looks very much like some CG videos of web game promotional films, except that the quality is much higher and the effect is much better.
The opening scene is the protagonist looking down at his hands, then looking up and seeing the majestic mountain gate. Then there is a display of scenery, as well as various scenes of alchemy, cultivation, flying with swords, building caves, exploring the treasure land, and even thunder tribulations!
Such a video was released by a technology company. Strictly speaking, its impact is even smaller than many augmented reality videos. Although it is labeled as a real-machine demonstration, it looks like the fake real-machine videos that were used to deceive investors a few years ago.
What really made this so-called "fake at first glance" video popular was actually the ending of the video, where an exquisite helmet appeared on the head of the game character, returning to reality and revealing the precise release date in the lower right corner.
Subsequently, Galaxy Technology Company immediately released the second information, saying that they would hold a large press conference the day before the release date, and the most important product at the press conference would be this helmet.
This series of operations instantly blew up the entire Internet, and Galaxy Technology Company officially became active in the public eye.
"We welcome everyone here to come here. I believe everyone is here for the video effects we present."
"And what I want to tell you now is that this video is completely taken from a real recording, and it shows the real effects that can be felt after wearing the helmet."
Du Hongzhe proudly refuted the rumor that the most widely circulated video on the Internet was a fabricated rumor.
The media in the audience were so shocked that they were speechless. Although their shock was not entirely because they believed Du Hongzhe's words, it was also partly because of his extremely confident statement.
After all, almost everyone has seen that video. Although virtual reality has made progress now, it is hard to believe that such delicate and realistic effects can be achieved with current technology.
This is why the rumor that the video is fake is so prevalent. However, now as the boss of Galaxy, he has refuted the online comments with great confidence. There are only two possibilities: either he is just talking nonsense or he can really achieve it.
However, no matter the former or the latter, they both represent huge traffic. Who the clown is will be known after the press conference, so after the media were shocked, they are looking forward to the content that follows.
Du Hongzhe was of course aware that all talk was empty talk, and that this kind of virtual reality stuff couldn't be demonstrated using the traditional PowerPoint presentation format, so...
"Of course, having said that, as someone who once despised fake tech videos, I naturally understand everyone's concerns..."
"Why don't you all just reach under your seats and see if you can find a box?"
The media in the audience also thought of something. They looked at each other and quickly bent down without caring about their image and took out a black box.
"Now that everyone has seen it, you're all welcome to open the box and experience it for yourself. I'll show you how to do it. It's very simple."
After saying that, Du Hongzhe picked up the helmet beside him and put it on his head.
"Make sure you wear it tightly and feel a depression on your forehead. Press and hold for three seconds until you see the startup logo, which means it's turned on. You can then operate it yourself."
"Welcome everyone to the world of Xunxian."
After the demonstration, Du Hongzhe took off his helmet and put it back in its place. In front of him were more than a hundred media members lying on their backs in the same posture.
All the media entered the world of Xunxian together. The screen in the center of the press conference hall finally played its second role besides showing PPT. It broadcast the first-person perspective of all people wearing helmets in real time.
After the two four-pointed stars of the Galaxy Technology Company's logo lit up, the originally black background gradually brightened, and clouds slowly rose. As the camera moved around, the peaks in the distance gradually became visible.
After a while, the name of the game appeared in the center, and at the same time, the player also landed outside the mountain gate platform.
In front of him was the majestic main gate of the sect, with more than ten thousand steps reaching as high as the clouds. The buildings at the top were covered by mist and were dim and difficult to see clearly.
The person being presented on the screen will be randomly changed every once in a while, and now it is the turn of a female media person, Zeng Mei.
She was shocked by the initial interface of the game. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she was stopped by the system and prompted to create a character.
After clicking to enter, she found a mirror directly in front of her, and she only needed to make adjustments directly on her face.
Although Zeng Mei was more or less hesitant to buy it at the beginning, after she found that she didn't feel anything and it looked better, she instantly couldn't let it go. She adjusted it over and over again until she remembered that she was still at the press conference.
After confirming the face shaping, there is a character attribute table. Zeng Mei, who doesn't play games much, doesn't know much about it, so he simply chose random. The same goes for the subsequent spiritual roots.
Once all the task creation steps are completed, the game officially begins. All those who have created their characters need to follow the guidance to go to the sect for talent assessment and finally be divided into inner and outer sects.
Of course, if it is a normal game, the sect is not fixed, you can choose according to your interests, and after the division into inner and outer sects, it is a long process of training and upgrading to complete the tasks.
However, because this was a press conference, it could not last too long, so under Du Hongzhe's control, all prefixes were omitted. The subsequent experience allowed the senior brothers and sisters to take the sword-riding tour introduction under the pretext of getting to know the sect, and get to know and experience almost all the gameplay of the game system.
In fact, it is just what was shown in the previous promotional video, but I only watched it before, but it is very different from experiencing it in person.
After everyone had finished playing the game, they gathered at the sect square to wait for the notification to exit the game. Compared to the more or less contempt they had when they first entered the game, almost everyone present now felt reluctant to leave and was in shock.
