Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 179: Guan Xiaofei's Shock!
This high-tech invention, upon its release, is sure to cause a sensation nationwide—no, worldwide.
Undoubtedly, the entire internet, every forum, every webpage, is abuzz with discussions about this incredible virtual reality device.
The Baidu Tieba forum on virtual reality devices has already surpassed five million views in a short time, with various Tieba forums continuously updating.
In recent years, with the increasing commercialization of Baidu Tieba, featuring an abundance of ads and memberships, the number of users has gradually declined. However, this does not affect the fervent discussion atmosphere in the "virtual reality device" Tieba forum.
Some believe it is real and have even posted news reports from abroad. Whether it's the United States, Japan, or the United Kingdom, France, and even Yin Du, these countries all have advertisements for the Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company's genuine virtual reality device!
At this moment, nearly the entire world is talking about this virtual reality device!
It is highly unlikely to be fake.
Meanwhile, opponents have dug up information on the Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company through the internet and various intelligence sources.
The president of this company is Zhang Manlin, from Hua Country, and the company itself was established in Hua Country.
Moreover, the company was founded this year—it had no prior products, only a virtual reality device—only fools would believe it.
This is the company's Ponzi scheme! An unprecedented super fraud.
Most people believe that the company's so-called virtual reality device is, in fact, a fraudulent product.
Of course, there are still some who believe it's real and not a lie! It's a global advertisement—with such methods, such momentum, how could it be a scam? How could liars be so stupid?
Moreover, the environment abroad is different from Hua Country's. If you do not have a real product, how can you advertise globally?
Overthinking!
This virtual reality device is likely genuine. At most, it's a question of degree of completion.
Although the believers are few, they have their viewpoints and debate endlessly with skeptics, presenting various interpretations and so-called "evidence."
This left Guan Xiaofei, who had been watching quietly from the shadows, unsure of what to believe.
Based on common sense, the existence of this virtual reality device is impossible; after all, the current technological levels are what they are. If, 20 years from now, even 30 years later, such technology exists, Guan Xiaofei might believe it. But now, isn't this virtual reality device too fake?
Of course, these issues have nothing to do with Guan Xiaofei. She shook her head, dismissing these thoughts, as she still had other experiments to conduct this afternoon.
Back then, she and her good friend Su Qianqian, bored and idle, collaborated with Jiang Cheng on some medical research.
Of course, they didn't genuinely understand these things but sought Jiang Cheng's help out of a love for the preciousness of life, aiming to elevate the medical standards of Hua Country, thus contributing to society.
One could say they were quite aware of giving back to society, and they sought out the right person.
Thus recently, they took advantage of their free time to act as Jiang Cheng's assistants, gaining some valuable experience and also being assigned some tasks by Jiang Cheng.
Research tasks of this kind are usually taken up by medical postgraduates or even doctorate students. At their level, it's definitely challenging. Fortunately, they have ample related resources for reference, resulting in remarkably rapid progress.
At this moment, Su Qianqian pushed the door open, entered the room, and came behind Guan Xiaofei. She instinctively glanced at Guan Xiaofei's screen and couldn't help but say, "You're also looking at this, huh?"
"Yes." Guan Xiaofei nodded, then looked at Su Qianqian and asked, "Do you think this is real?"
Su Qianqian gave Guan Xiaofei a peculiar look.
Guan Xiaofei couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why look at her like that? She merely asked a question, what's so strange?
"Did you forget?" Su Qianqian asked.
"Huh? Did I forget? What did I forget?" Guan Xiaofei curiously asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You really forgot!" Su Qianqian was speechless.
"What exactly are you talking about?" Guan Xiaofei clicked her tongue and asked.
"Virtual reality, of course, is real!" Su Qianqian said.
"Huh? Why? How can you speak so truthfully? Guan Xiaofei thought Su Qianqian must know something and quickly asked.
"Have you been so immersed in your research these days that you forgot? Do you remember? This is Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, Jiang Cheng's tech company. We initially helped register the company name—and Jiang Cheng has been busy with these things lately." Su Qianqian said, a bit exasperated.
"So that's it—Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, yes, it rings a bell! That's Jiang Cheng's company. When I was registering the company name, I didn't pay much attention and completely forgot. I was really muddled!" Guan Xiaofei finally realized, knocking her forehead in exasperation, then said, "So... this virtual reality device is real… it's true!"
"Yes, it's real," Su Qianqian nodded.
"I can hardly believe it's truly invented, and it's related to Jiang Cheng." Guan Xiaofei glanced at Su Qianqian, speechless, with a look of shock in her eyes.
"I remember Jiang Cheng once said that he hopes to develop not only in the medical field," Su Qianqian said.
"Yes, I also remember Jiang Cheng mentioning that," Guan Xiaofei nodded and said, "But I just thought Jiang Cheng was joking. After all, it's not that easy for human civilization to make such a leap, right?"
Indeed, Jiang Cheng is terrifying beyond measure, and being called a genius doesn't even begin to describe it.
"Perhaps this is what a real genius is... someone capable of changing the world. Being able to witness all this happening around us is our greatest glory!" Guan Xiaofei said in shock.
"You're right." Su Qianqian looked at the various discussions on the screen and said, "Those posts, believers or skeptics, I bet everyone wants to try this legendary genuine virtual reality device?"
"Oh, by the way—" Su Qianqian suddenly said.
"Hm?"
"You say, if we asked Jiang Cheng, would he let us try out this device first?" Su Qianqian asked curiously.
"I don't know... I really don't know. But now, online, people are saying someone offered ten million dollars just to get a virtual reality device from Cosmic Umbrella Technology company, and got rejected! Can we really do it?" Guan Xiaofei asked, a bit strangely.
"Why don't we try?"
"Hmm... sounds reasonable!" Guan Xiaofei's face revealed a mysterious smile, and then she said.
