Chapter 551 6, The Wilson Family's Heritage_3
Just wearing a headset, you can meet and interact online over a super long distance?
This is far beyond the current technological level of this planet.
Wang Longhu asked, "Mr. Ponken, how far is super long distance, the whole planet?"
Ponken Wilson shook his head with a smile, "Not that exaggerated yet, since it was only developed as a breakthrough this year, so the maximum range currently is limited to one-tenth of North America."
"Can I give it a try?" someone asked.
This person was known to Wang Longhu, the president of North America's largest social networking platform.
It was said that he strongly advocated brain-computer interfaces, wanting to transform the way the internet is accessed into the kind seen in the movie 'Top Player.'
"Of course, I've made a total of ten helmets; interested gentlemen can try them out."
Ponken Wilson generously distributed the helmets.
Wang Longhu, sitting at the front, was the first to receive one.
He slowly put the helmet on his head, as soon as the thought formed in his mind.
He suddenly felt his consciousness float away, and instantly, he was in a vast expanse of white.
Looking around, whiteness stretched in all directions with no boundaries or end in sight.
He and nine other people stood in place, somewhat surprised.
No matter the touch or the smell in the air, they all felt like they had entered a brand new world.
The only evidence to confirm that they were still in a virtual world, preventing total immersion.
Was that everyone could still feel something heavy on their heads like they were wearing something.
Wang Longhu reached up and took the helmet off his head.
Instantly, everything in front of him returned to normal, and the surroundings were still the Wilson family castle.
"It is indeed amazing, but Mr. Ponken, why was it all white inside without anything?" Wang Longhu asked curiously, handing the helmet to another person beside him.
Ponken Wilson laughed, "Mr. Wang, as I mentioned, this is ancient civilization technology that the Wilson family broke through this year,
We invested 38 billion US Dollars into this project this year, and only managed to create a small server and ten helmets that can connect to the server,
It's like a software development platform where we've only completed the software's framework without having time to create the details inside,
Just wait until next year, and when you enter the virtual world inside the server wearing the helmet again,
By then, it might be the sunset beach of Hawaii, palm trees, and breeze,
Or the snow mountains of the Himalayas, where you can enjoy skiing freely and challenge various high-difficulty skiing postures without worrying about getting injured."
Wang Longhu nodded, with quite a bit of admiration in his heart.
If it were just burning 38 billion US Dollars, with the current technological tree of this planet, it would naturally be impossible to create such a realistic and vivid virtual world experience.
But the Wilson family discovered some ancient civilization technology from the Kukulkan ruins.
Through the development with 38 billion US Dollars, they really created a holographic experience exactly like the movie 'Top Player.'
It has to be said, this can truly be regarded as era-defining technology.
As long as the Wilson family can push this technology globally.
Then the internet might no longer refer to computers, but these helmets.
"3 million each, I'll buy 3!"
When someone experienced the effect of the helmet, they immediately raised their hand excitedly and said.
Everyone present in business circles was shrewd, and they naturally understood how groundbreaking this technology researched by the Wilson family was.
Once successful, it will surely impact the entire planet.
"4 million each."
"6 million each!"
Bidding began without Ponken Wilson needing to remind anyone.
Even though the virtual world of the server currently has nothing, buying the helmet would definitely make them the first batch of beta testers in the virtual world.
By then, whatever content the Wilson family adds to the virtual world, these ten who bought the helmets will experience it first.
This sense of achievement can't be bought with money.
Thus, the bidding war for the ten helmets escalated into white-hot competition.
The price for just one helmet was already pushed up to 20 million US Dollars.
Wang Longhu leaned back on the sofa, opting not to bid, showing little interest.
Although the virtual world is indeed attractive, it held no significant meaning to Wang Longhu.
Virtual is ultimately virtual, for someone like him, only the pursuit of tangible things matters.
Such as the ultimate in martial arts, the limits of physical body, the limits of spirit.
When Wang Longhu becomes powerful enough to traverse the stars and adventure in space, would he even care about these virtual helmets?
It's completely a waste of time.
There is limited time for humans; even the Super Martial Artist does not possess immortality, only slightly longer life than ordinary people.
But in pursuing a higher realm, this little extended lifetime is not enough.
To become the strongest, every second counts, not wasting it on material enjoyment.
Not only did Wang Longhu abstain from bidding, but Jostar also showed no intention of participating in the auction, chatting happily with the Christmas girl beside him, in complete disregard for the auction.
