"Finally finished!"
Chen Yi was so moved he nearly cried.
He picked up the laptop beside him, connected the hard drive he had just removed externally, then transferred the two study materials from it into the virtual consciousness machine.
He put on the helmet and activated study mode.
In an instant, Chen Yi felt his head grow groggy and his vision begin to blur.
A few seconds later.
His head jerked.
Chen Yi regained his senses, but the scene before him had changed.
A famous teacher, dressed in professional teaching attire, was walking gracefully toward him.
Though the image was somewhat blurry, like a dream.
Yet it was precisely that hazy, dreamlike feeling that made it even more exciting and stimulating.
"This studying is awesome!"
Chen Yi cheered inwardly.
Wasn't this learning experience far more exhilarating than any AR?
After some thrilling previewing, Chen Yi entered a genuine state of study.
With his memories virtualized and under the control of his thoughts.
He returned to his high school days, back to life in Class 907 during his senior year.
Only, unlike the poor student he used to be, whose attention would always wander after less than three minutes of studying.
He was now a true academic genius.
Freed from the influence of his body, his concentration was incomparably focused and his mind incomparably active.
He could study for more than ten hours without losing focus, and his thinking was practically boosted by cheats. No matter what difficult math or physics problem he encountered, he could quickly identify the key points of the relevant knowledge.
It let him truly experience what the joy of studying was, and how the sorrows and joys of top students and poor students were never shared.
Top students found studying enjoyable, while poor students thought they were just showing off.
More astonishingly, Chen Yi discovered that his time seemed to pass differently from everyone else's.
When he reviewed alone, he had clearly completed hundreds of exam papers and carefully worked through more than a dozen books. It felt as though at least two or three months had passed.
But when he came back to his senses and ended his review, he found that only one night had gone by.
Under this condition, in less than a week.
Chen Yi reviewed all the knowledge from his six years of middle school, easily scored 743 points, and then began teaching himself university courses.
For his self-study university courses, he chose rocket and aerospace engineering, as well as aircraft design and manufacturing.
After a period of hard study, he successfully designed a super drone model that could be both sweet and cool, fly supersonically through the atmosphere, and enter space orbit.
The moment the model drone successfully completed its test flight and rushed into space, accompanied by the cheers of his classmates and friends, he woke as if from a dream.
"Gasp!"
Coming back to his senses from the virtual study state, Chen Yi sharply sucked in a breath!
It was too terrifying.
This virtual study state was simply too terrifying.
The device was cold and emotionless.
By directly connecting to the brain through virtual equipment, it cast aside interference from the outside environment, the effects of bodily hormones, and the limitations of physical strength and energy. His thoughts and spirit could be described in just two phrases.
The flesh was weak.
Mechanical Ascension.
Combined with the virtual device's bullet time, this state could only be described with one phrase: terrifying beyond belief!
"The only regret is that it needs a certain cooldown period, and my body also feels like it's been hollowed out."
He took off the helmet.
Looking at the morning sunlight shining in through the window, Chen Yi suddenly felt mentally exhausted.
It felt like staying up for three days and three nights, then going home to sleep for ten hours and waking up. He seemed refreshed, but had not actually fully recovered.
Although the virtual study state involved subconscious learning and did not affect his conscious thoughts, much like dreaming.
Too many dreams would still leave a person mentally drained and could cause the subconscious to collapse.
"About a week should be enough for my subconscious to recover."
Chen Yi recalled his experience in the virtual state.
The details of the other people had already become as blurry as waking from a dream, but the knowledge had been firmly imprinted in his heart.
With a thought, the knowledge surfaced naturally, like instinct.
The feeling of having knowledge fill his mind and mastering it with ease was truly addictive.
If his subconscious had not yet recovered, and further virtual studying might cause him to suddenly drop dead, Chen Yi would definitely have picked up the helmet and gone for another round.
He hauled the drone out of the warehouse.
Holding his laptop, Chen Yi began analyzing each technology contained within this super drone capable of visiting the Moon.
"The aerodynamic layout of the fuselage tends toward perfection. If the angle of these wings is moved forward by just 0.1°, the lift coefficient will drop by three percentage points. Adjust it backward by 0.1°, and the drag coefficient will rise. Only the current angle achieves a perfect balance."
"The engine nozzle is also particular. It can be confirmed as a rotating detonation engine, but if the size and inclination angle of this engine's central cone change even slightly, propulsion efficiency in the atmosphere will decline. If the engine nozzle diameter is even slightly larger or smaller, propulsion efficiency in space will also be affected."
"The key points of this engine structure can also provide many useful references when manufacturing the Hall effect thruster drone later."
Chen Yi recorded technical key points in his laptop, writing down formula after formula.
The super drone, whose mysteries he had previously been utterly unable to understand and could only praise as awesome, had completely lost all its secrets before his eyes at this moment.
Even if someone asked him about it, he would not be the least bit intimidated.
From the drone's design to its engine manufacturing, from its avionics control to its aerodynamic structural layout.
He could talk for three days without repeating himself.
"Let's take it on a test flight and see what the immersive experience of controlling a drone with this virtual helmet is like."
After confirming that the knowledge from his virtual study was real and effective.
Chen Yi took out the control signal antenna and connected it to the drone.
He then turned on the laptop to serve as the bridge between the drone and the virtual helmet.
He put on the virtual helmet and opened the laptop's avionics system.
With a beep.
The drone's first-person perspective appeared in Chen Yi's mind, making him feel as if he were sitting inside the cockpit.
Ahead was a secluded suburban road behind the studio.
Beneath his feet were rudder pedals.
Beside him were the control stick and throttle lever.
As well as various buttons and switches for the throttle valves, radar imaging, avionics system, and more.
Right in the very center of the cockpit was a large instrument panel displaying the drone's real-time imagery, with various parameters such as altitude, speed, and acceleration marked beside it.
"This feels a bit like playing an immersive flight game at an arcade, except much more advanced and much more realistic."
Chen Yi tested the controls, flipped open the throttle valve switch, ignited the engine, and then pushed the throttle lever forward.
Boom! The entire image shook realistically several times, and the scenery ahead rapidly enlarged.
The drone accelerated!
After speeding forward for around a hundred meters, Chen Yi pulled the control stick.
The drone's nose quickly pitched upward, his view began to rise, and the drone successfully took off.
"Takeoff!"
The camera activated.
The sights of Penghai City appeared beneath him.
On the streets below were roads teeming with traffic.
Office workers in T-shirts and shorts, shirts and skirts, carrying bags as they hurried to work.
Beautiful women carrying shopping bags, dressed coolly for summer, strolling in groups of two or three while chatting and laughing.
At roadside cafés, people ate while opening their laptops to deal with work.
At breakfast stalls on the street, people raised their hands to signal for takeout while keeping their phones pressed to their ears.
Though the entire image was somewhat blurry.
It clearly presented a slice of everyday life in a first-tier city, revealing the bustling lives of people constantly running about to make a living.
"Brother Yi, someone's looking for you. They say they're from the Penghai Police!"
Just as Chen Yi controlled the drone and filmed Penghai's bustling scenery.
A shout suddenly rang out in his mind.
The voice came from outside.
Penghai Police?
Chen Yi froze, then his expression changed.
When he test-flew the drone this morning, he seemed to have forgotten to file a report. Could they really have come for him so quickly?!
