The game pods have started to be shipped out gradually.
They're really quite large.
Everyone who received one has recorded an unboxing video.
Those who couldn't get one are even more envious now.
As for those who managed to get one, they've all reverted to a primal state, as excited as monkeys in the mountains.
They're just short of howling out loud.
Many live streams of people playing have begun.
Internet users are watching eagerly.
Many people are experiencing holographic games for the first time. The ultra-realistic imagery is really making the gamers jump and start.
It's completely different from playing mobile or computer games.
They haven't adapted yet.
They look a bit clumsy playing.
But they're having so much fun. After finishing a round, they come out of the game pod.
Many internet users are eager to ask: "Is it fun?"
"It's so much fun, I didn't expect it to be this realistic."
Players who managed to buy one are giving rave reviews.
"I love this game so much, the developers truly deserve to be enshrined in the ancestral temple."
"Who can relate, family? My Dad is fighting me to play, he's already caught over 200 fish in a short time! He won't let me play, I'm so angry!"
"What, your Dad can catch over 200 fish? Send me the coordinates and bait recipe, please, I'm begging you!"
"Yeah! My Dad asked me to ask if your Dad can livestream, he wants to learn."
"My Boyfriend now won't even go out when his buddies call him, he just stays at home playing in the game pod!"
"I love playing too, before my family said it was too expensive, now the whole family is fighting over it. Strongly recommend that Jianghu game, who didn't dream of living the life of a wandering knight when they were young, it's like experiencing another life."
"I'm a steady Young Man who's never been a fan of celebrities or gotten excited about anything, but now I'm crazy about the game pod, it's too much fun."
It's almost 100% positive reviews.
Other people are getting even more restless.
"I thought 138,888 was too expensive at first and didn't buy it. Now I really regret it."
"You're confused, 138,888 to experience the latest holographic games, and if you don't like it you can still sell it second-hand, now all the second-hand platforms are buying them up, with a minimum price of 200,000, even if you just flip it it's worth it."
"And this is a full holographic game system, I heard foreign Tycoons spent millions to build something that's not even fully immersive, compared to that this is dirt cheap, the motherland really loves its fans."
"Don't say anymore, I regret it so much my guts have turned green, so when will the second batch be released?"
"Please, I want to play so badly."
Overseas purchasing agents have even become popular domestically.
But the authorities have issued a ban, prohibiting the export of game pods.
This has angered people overseas, who have raised the issue at international conferences, asking why they won't sell to them.
There are even conspiracy theories saying the new game is a scam, that fully immersive holographic games are impossible.
Internet users say: "Ah, yes yes yes, you're so right, we'll just play with these things ourselves."
"That's right, you still think you're Foreigners, we just won't play with you, die mad about it, bleh bleh bleh."
These sarcastic comments were relayed back, triggering overseas internet users.
The overseas AI labs are currently the most advanced internationally.
All the researchers are top talents who have studied AI and holographics for over 10 years.
Previously at international conferences.
They were always the star attractions.
Their papers alone could indicate the direction of AI development.
They held a very high position in international scientific research.
But now all the members of this AI lab have submitted their resumes to China.
It's like the gods descending to China.
Even domestic researchers trembled when they saw the list of names.
They're all top experts in the field.
The kind of people who can make the whole AI circle shake with a stomp of their foot.
How could these people be coming here, is this a joke?
They couldn't help but clean their glasses several times, still in shock.
They don't know what they're thinking.
They made some phone calls to make contact.
They heard the other side say: "We're very interested in your country's holographic development, we've researched for over ten years but haven't cracked this fully immersive technology, we want to know how you've done it. To show our sincerity, we're willing to relocate our lab to your country. We can collaborate on development!"
Their research field benefits all of humanity, no matter which country they work for.
The things they've researched for over 10 years, many patented technologies.
In this field, apart from full immersion, they're far ahead.
But the problem they couldn't solve after much thought, the Eastern superpower has solved. Just this alone is enough to make them scratch their heads in bewilderment.
These people immediately received high-level attention from China.
After all, in many scientific research fields, there are still areas that depend on them.
So it was a perfect match.
Thus the entire AI research group resigned and went to China.
This caused a huge shock overseas.
The foreign countries even tried to strictly control them.
But these people were determined to leave.
After a full six months of struggle, they finally made the arduous journey to China.
They experienced it deeply for themselves.
Everyone's voices were full of disbelief.
It can actually simulate to this degree, even the feeling of the fishing rod being pulled in the fishing game is exactly the same.
Even the fishy smell on the water's surface, pulling up the rod, the fish's struggle, it's all the same.
It's so realistic, if you don't use the right force, the crafty fish will fall back into the water.
Or when unhooking the fish, the tail slapping their face, that stinging pain. And the slimy smell from the fish tail is the same.
They're so curious how it was done.
Many international friends said their decision to come to China was impulsive and foolish, but after deeply experiencing their holographic game pods they feel it was so worth it.
They want to devote their lives to China's scientific research.
So they all signed confidentiality agreements.
The agreements are for 20 years.
Foreign countries have always blocked our technology, hearing this news almost made them spit blood in anger.
They even labeled this behavior as treason.
But the holographic game pods are too alluring.
When this news was reposted by public accounts online, the whole country was laughing with joy.
With their joining, AI in various fields and the Internet of Everything will become a reality.
It's exciting just thinking about it.
But while many people are excited, they all want to play. They're urging for the second batch to go online quickly.
They want to play so badly.
Finally, an official announcement came out: "We're working overtime to produce them, but the order demand is too high, to avoid disappointing everyone again by not having enough stock for the second release, we've decided to accumulate enough stock before releasing together."
"IDs that bought before are restricted and can't buy again."
Many people expressed dissatisfaction: "Can't you release some first for us to play for a few days?"
"Don't complain, last time the programmers were scolded terribly, this time they don't even dare to go online!"
Just at this moment, suddenly a piece of insider information quickly rose to the top of the trending topics: "The country's only holographic game pod internet cafe is about to open, called Starry Sky Internet Cafe, 100 yuan for half an hour. Those who couldn't buy one can go there to experience it."
Starry Sky Internet Cafe?
Hearing this name, everyone's hearts tightened, another day of being dominated by Starry Sky.
Is it true or false?
Soon, everyone went to find various channels to inquire.
The new district leader's phone rang non-stop from 8 am to 5 pm.
Repeating over and over: "It's true!"
Indeed, a windfall of fortune has descended on their new district.
Now it's hard to get even one machine.
Many Tycoons who couldn't buy want to pay a premium, but there's no channel for this.
They can't even buy one, let alone buy multiple to open an internet cafe!
Only Shen Wei has this capability.
Shen Wei submitted the blueprints, making a huge contribution.
This time the authorities specially approved 100 units for them, given to Shen Wei.
The business license was specially approved by the new district.
It was all settled at one window.
100 yuan for half an hour, that's 200 yuan an hour, it sounds very expensive.
But these people have been teased for a full six months.
Every day someone says: this game is so much fun.
But the 138,000 is still difficult for many people.
However, 100 yuan to experience for half an hour, this is doable.
So after inquiring.
They began to eagerly wait for the internet cafe to open.
100 machines, only Shen Wei could be so wealthy and generous.
Fully self-service booking on the mini program. Pay online, come play directly with the verification code.
Shen Wei didn't advertise the opening of the internet cafe, but netizens promoted it voluntarily.
There were even internet celebrities livestreaming outside.
Many of those who came to experience it had never played before.
When they finished and came out, everyone was still in a daze.
An internet celebrity interviewed people outside: "How was it? Was it fun?"
"It was fun! So much fun. I'll definitely buy one next time."
Half an hour was only enough to play one game. There were twenty games inside, and people were eager to experience them all.
The internet cafe was packed every day.
Other internet cafes looked on enviously.
These days, every household has a computer.
The term "internet cafe" had almost become a relic of the past.
But Shen Wei's Family's internet cafe was different! They had gaming pods.
Other internet cafes wanted to follow suit, even if they couldn't have many, just one or two to attract customers would be fine, but they couldn't buy any.
They could only watch helplessly as the Starry Sky Internet Cafe made money.
They couldn't help but recall that classic phrase online: "Just be grateful that those things are Starry Sky's side business, otherwise, none of us would survive."
Now: They finally understood what it meant, and it was terrifying!
