After uploading the paper, Lu Zhou spent his days in the underground laboratory at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. If he had nothing else to do, he would spend his entire day in the laboratory.
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study came in handy when he wanted to do a big project.
As a large-scale comprehensive research center recognized by the state, Lu Zhou could do anything he wanted just by writing an email to the institute’s finance department.
Even if something wasn’t purchasable, there were other ways of obtaining what he wanted.
For example, if he wanted high integration density carbon chips, he could easily get some from Professor Wu Tianqun’s laboratory. Or if he needed a specially customized EEG sensor, he could order from the institute’s professional medical equipment supplier. Money was no objection.
He could even get his hands on expensive materials, such as deuterium or tritium, as well as radioactive materials that could be used to make weapons…
Of course, the virtual reality machine did not require these dangerous materials. Lu Zhou only obtained these materials previously for his fusion battery.
For two weeks, he spent his days in the underground laboratory.
The only places Lu Zhou would go was his Zhongshan International mansion and the underground laboratory. He and Xiao Ai worked on the immersive virtual reality experimental machine together.
His original focus was “unifying” mathematics, but now, he was into VR development. Lu Zhou felt like he was paying too much attention to his hobby.
However, focusing on one’s hobbies could be interesting.
Especially when this VR technology would shock the world. Lu Zhou felt excited just thinking about the potential of this technology.
He was the type of person that didn’t like attention, but sometimes…
Sometimes, he liked the attention.
After a little more than two weeks of hard work, the virtual reality prototype was finally created by the master and his servant…
…
Inside a laboratory at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Lu Zhou moved the entire device here and reassembled it. He called Chen Yushan and told her to come here.
After receiving the call, Chen Yushan quickly rushed here from the Star Sky Technology headquarters. When she saw the machine in front of Lu Zhou, she froze.
After all, the machine wasn’t… well polished.
Even Lu Zhou felt like it looked out of place…
“This is the thing you wanted to show me… The virtual reality that will change the Internet as we know it?” Chen Yushan said hesitantly.
Chen Yushan didn’t even know what this machine was called.
Lu Zhou couldn’t help but smirk.
His mathematics research results were impossible to be understood by the general public. However, the thing he looked forward to the most when he made a breakthrough in the applied field was seeing the surprised expression on people’s faces.
Even though Chen Yushan wasn’t shocked yet, Lu Zhou was certain that his expectations would be met.
This was why he invited her here.
“Great results often come from small beginnings. I admit that it’s not the best-looking thing in the world. I mean, this thing is just an experimental machine, and I haven’t added all the bells and whistles.”
“Okay, I get it…” Chen Yushan shrugged and looked at the machine.
“… Where is the display? I don’t see it.”
There was a computer monitor next to the machine, which was obviously not for the user. After all, this was supposed to be a virtual reality.
“I told you this is revolutionary, so we don’t need displays,” Lu Zhou said as he picked up a helmet and handed it to Chen Yushan.
“Enough talk, why don’t you try it yourself?”
Chen Yushan took off her shoes and lay on the chair that looked like something out of a dentist’s office.
When she was about to put on the helmet, she suddenly felt a little worried.
She said with the helmet in her hands, “Do I really have to wear this?”
Lu Zhou began to get a little impatient, and he said, “No sh*t, Sherlock, that’s the whole point.”
“But… I won’t be able to see anything once I put this on.”
Lu Zhou sighed and patiently explained, “The neural interface virtual reality device isn’t something you need to see with your own eyes. Your body might not even be conscious after the device turns on.”
Unless the user was hungry, thirsty, or had other strong psychological urges, the user would not be able to wake up unless they turn off the device in the VR world.
This enhanced the user experience.
After all, if people’s real-world body moved as they moved their virtual bodies, things would get a little spooky.
However, that wasn’t what Chen Yushan worried about.
Her cheeks turned red when she realized that she would lose consciousness of her body.
However, in the end, she still put on the helmet and lay down on the chair.
“Okay, I’m putting the helmet on…”
“Okay.”
“Do I need to say anything to activate it?”
“The audio recognition software isn’t installed yet, this is just an experimental machine.”
“But what if I can’t exit the virtual world—”
“Okay, enough, just lay there quietly. Your brainwaves are going haywire. I can’t match the frequency at all, stop messing around.”
Chen Yushan wasn’t happy.
What do you mean I’m messing around?
I drove all the way here to be your test subject!
A*shole!
Chen Yushan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Lu Zhou saw a stable brain signal line on the screen and sighed in relief. He reached out and pressed the switch.
The moment the switch was pressed, the brainwave signal began oscillating.
The nerve signal demodulator was working!
The frequency synchronization was completed!
The brain current sensor looked normal!
Lu Zhou had a confident smile on his face as he picked up the cup of room-temperature coffee and took a sip.
“Now…
“It is time to witness a miracle!”
