Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Our Ruida Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Ruida Group, has already begun transferring most of its research projects to the virtual world. This alone can save our group tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan in R&D costs annually. Of course, the virtual world is built by our researchers based on all the basic scientific knowledge that humanity currently possesses, and there are bound to be omissions. Therefore, research results obtained in the virtual laboratory are not guaranteed to be 100% reproducible in the real world. To ensure absolute certainty, it is best to verify all research results or experimental conclusions obtained in the virtual world in the real world before making them public."

Alright, let's move on from the virtual lab topic and see what our next tester, Mr. Jin Junfei, is up to.

The holographic image switched, and Jin Junfei's chubby face appeared before everyone. His gaze was fixed ahead, his expression tense, his lips trembling, and cold sweat pouring from his forehead. The camera panned back, widening the view to reveal a futuristic cockpit in the holographic projection. Various flashing instruments, a holographic star map floating above the control panel, and several enemy ships marked in red on the radar screen dazzled the audience. The camera panned back again, revealing a massive, exaggeratedly designed starship that almost filled the entire projection space. Judging from its sharp lines and dozens of exposed, dark cannons, it was undoubtedly a warship. The camera shifted again, and dozens of enormous, ferocious-looking interstellar insectoids charged forward menacingly, their target being the warship piloted by Jin Junfei. Despite the human warship operating at maximum power, its speed was still insufficient, and it was quickly overtaken by several interstellar insectoids. The crystal on the forehead of the interstellar insectoid rapidly lit up and activated, and several high-energy beams shot out from the crystal, heading straight for the fleeing human starship.

Fortunately, Jin Junfei was prepared for the enemy's attack, activating the gravity shield at full power. Several high-energy beams of light, after passing through the gravitational field, deflected, narrowly missing the starship's outer wall, leaving only a few burn marks on the metal exterior without causing significant damage. Seeing that his starship was too slow to escape, Jin Junfei decisively maneuvered it around and engaged in a fierce battle with several interstellar insectoids. Laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, rapid-fire cannons, and missiles of various sizes rained down on the enemy. The two closest interstellar insectoids were the first to suffer, riddled with dozens of laser beams. The remaining insectoids, learning from their mistakes, began to maneuver erratically, dodging the fire while simultaneously launching a counterattack, spraying energy beams and corrosive jets. Thus, the two sides engaged in a fierce and brutal battle. Ten minutes later, the war ended. All the Zerg on the Zerg side were wiped out. Jin Junfei's human starship also suffered heavy losses. 35% of the fuselage was damaged, the weapons inventory was almost depleted, most of the energy reserves were used up, and the power was completely lost. The starship could only drift in space, waiting for rescue.

The next moment, the holographic image suddenly froze, displaying an offline status. The audience at the press conference was stunned, unsure what had happened. Zhao Hongcai picked up the microphone and explained, "That scene was part of the tutorial in the virtual game 'Galaxy Wars.' The mission is to escape the Zerg's pursuit or hold them off until reinforcements arrive. Jin Junfei actually used a reconnaissance starship to annihilate all the Zerg, exceeding expectations. No wonder he's a former professional esports player; his intellect and skill are truly exceptional."

Just then, Jin Junfei ripped off his helmet, panting heavily, a lingering look of fear on his face. Zhao Hongcai handed him a microphone and asked, "Jin, that space battle was great! Come on, tell us about your gaming experience."

Jin Junfei calmed his breathing, pondered for a moment, picked up the microphone, and said, "Virtual games and traditional 3D games are from completely different eras. Virtual games offer a stronger sense of immersion and a more realistic experience. If it weren't for the game panel, I would have thought I had traveled through time. Take the chase with the Zerg just now, for example. The warships were real, and the feedback was real-time. Every command you gave was reflected back to the warship. Flight speed and direction were all under your control. Dodging attacks, activating protective force fields, firing laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons, launching missiles—all were at your command. The feeling of controlling a massive starship, traversing the cosmos, and battling powerful enemies is truly captivating. Especially the sense of accomplishment after defeating a formidable foe is something other games simply cannot provide."

"Mr. Zhao, may I offer some suggestions for your virtual game?"

"Of course. Although this game, Galaxy Chronicles, is developed by our sister company, I will relay your suggestion to their R&D and operations team as long as it is reasonable and necessary. Perhaps the version of the game after its official release will be exactly what you expect."

"That's great. During the game, I only found the screenshot option, but I didn't find the game recording or live streaming functions, which is very detrimental to the promotion of the game. For example, video bloggers like me want to collect some game recordings to make videos, but we don't know where to start. A few game screenshots alone cannot demonstrate the excellence and power of the virtual game."

"The game recording function is available, but it's not available in the current game version. As for the game live streaming function, we haven't considered that yet. I'll suggest it to the development team and ask them to add it in a future update. Okay, time is limited, so let's end the brain-computer interface testing here."

After saying that, Zhao Hongcai gestured for a staff member to come up on stage and wake up the other two reporters who were still immersed in the virtual world. Jin Junfei picked up the helmet-style brain-computer interface device next to him, hugged it to his chest with a look of reluctance, and asked, "Mr. Zhao, can I buy this brain-computer interface device? I don't mind if it's expensive. After playing virtual games, I have no interest in other games. I don't know how long it will take to get the officially released version of the brain-computer interface. I don't want to wait a moment longer."

"Yes, yes, I want to buy it too. I just finished assembling half of the racing machine and it hasn't even flown yet. How can I give up halfway?"

"Mr. Zhao, name your price. This feeling of shopping and enjoying all kinds of delicious food in a virtual world is just too good to be true. I suggest every foodie should buy a brain-computer interface." (End of Chapter)
