Lu Geng glanced at the phone on the podium, his face stiffening!
The extent of his change in expression was as if a believer had suddenly seen a deity manifest, or a loyal old minister had suddenly beheld the emperor's carriage!
"Everyone, please wait a moment, I have an important call to take!" Lu Geng removed the microphone from his ear, picked up his phone, and put on a slightly fawning smile. "Hello, Teacher?"
The students in the classroom immediately held their breath and quieted down. Seeing Teacher Lu's appearance, everyone could more or less guess that it must be Dean Song's call!
Hundreds of curious gazes focused on the podium as Lu Geng turned slightly away.
"Oh, I remember, you have class at this time?" Song He's voice came from the phone. As always, his memory was excellent, and he had all the teachers' schedules in his head.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, you go ahead! I'm giving a pop quiz here, and the students are all doing their papers!" Lu Geng lied without blushing.
The students in the classroom were also very cooperative, and no one laughed. Many students even found a test paper and started flipping through it, creating the background noise of test papers rustling in an exam hall.
"There's a small task. As the person in charge of the academy's publicity, take some time to handle it. Wei Liqun will also help with this matter," Song He explained.
"The Second Generation Teacher Bai is almost ready. I just trained Teacher Bai to play basketball, and his level is crushing professional teams, but direct publicity isn't very meaningful. We need to take a detour and do more sensational publicity. I plan to hold a basketball game with a sky-high prize, with a Champion prize of five billion!"
"Let basketball teams with some reputation from Worldwide sign up, eliminate them round by round, and finally select the strongest team. The Former University of Science and Technology's various academies should also form a few teams to participate. When we hold the New Product Launch Event in July, let the strongest team and Teacher Bai's team play a global live broadcast as the opening program!"
"I've already filmed a short video, which is a video of five Teacher Bais shooting baskets. You can post it on your video Account today to warm things up. We can slowly work on the subsequent competition. There's still plenty of time."
"Okay, okay!" Lu Geng agreed repeatedly. "I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
The phone hung up, and the students in the classroom were extremely curious, a buzz of whispers filling the air.
Lu Geng lowered his head, clicked on his phone, and started tapping away, temporarily leaving the class aside.
"Teacher, what did the Dean want from you?" Finally, a student couldn't help but ask.
The classroom immediately erupted in laughter. Someone had spoken first, and the others became bolder, asking questions all at once.
"Don't be restless, don't be restless!" Lu Geng couldn't help but laugh, putting away his phone and picking up the chalk. "I've set a timed release. You'll know when you see my video Account when you eat lunch! Now, let's continue with the class!"
Song He and Xiang Xiaotong returned to the Dream Control Helmet Laboratory.
Their timing was perfect. The Red-haired Gorillas lying in the room gently stirred, and the indicator lights on the Dream Control Helmets on their heads changed, one after another disengaging from the dream state.
Finally, the first Red-haired Gorilla took off its helmet, took a deep breath, and its expression was filled with shock.
"How is it?" Song He walked over and asked. "Is everything normal? Is there any difference from usual?"
"I don't know." The Red-haired Gorilla shook its head, its mind a little dazed.
Although they had been Volunteers for a long time, these Red-haired Gorillas still had a period of sluggishness every time they came out of the dream, their eyes staring blankly and unable to communicate normally, their expressions showing an undisguised shock. This was a situation that the old version of the helmet did not have.
"There weren't any mistakes, right?" Song He had to ask. "Are there any obvious abnormalities?"
"No, no!" The Red-haired Gorilla laughed foolishly like an idiot. "I... I saw her again!"
Song He was full of question marks, Xiang Xiaotong tried hard to hold back her laughter, and the Child Prodigies behind them laughed out loud.
More and more Red-haired Gorillas took off their helmets, each with a dazed expression, still immersed in the shock and unable to pull themselves out, almost drooling.
Song He was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, no matter how shocking something was, they wouldn't be so out of control after experiencing it for several months. Could it be a cultural difference? Many humans habitually made themselves more presentable, their hearts excited but their faces not showing it. The Red-haired Gorilla Volunteers were relatively young, so they might be willing to exaggerate their emotions with a little excitement?
In any case, at least these volunteers didn't have any abnormal reactions. The shock was a positive emotional shock, so it should be fine.
Song He and Xiang Xiaotong sat down on the prepared chairs and each picked up a Dream Control Helmet.
"Do you want me to go in and scout ahead first, and then call you in?" Song He was a little worried and looked at his wife.
"What are you chickening out for!" Xiang Xiaotong put the Dream Control Helmet directly on her head and lay back.
Song He smiled self-deprecatingly and put on the Dream Control Helmet, lying down as well.
Consciousness gradually became hazy, and then it returned to clarity!
The old version of the Dream Control Helmet generally took a few minutes to enter the dream, but the Dream Control Helmet 3 speed was accelerated. Song He felt that only half a minute had passed. He even suspected that the return to clarity was not entering the dream at all, but that he had woken up again.
He hesitated to open his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, he realized that he had really entered the dream. Before him was an endless expanse of darkness!
With a soft sound, a light shone down from above!
The white light enveloped Song He, leaving a white circle on the dark floor.
He looked down and saw that he was wearing simple white sportswear, sitting on a brown leather chair, with a light yellow wooden table in front of him. On the table was a questionnaire, with a pencil and eraser on top.
[You are experiencing the Dream City test version of Dream Control Helmet 3. The function is not perfect, please forgive any bad experiences and give us feedback] [Before entering the test version of Dream City, please complete the following initial settings, just check with a pencil]
Song He grabbed the pencil and looked down. They were all in the form of small questions, with options from 1 to 10 in small boxes under each question.
[1. Please set the visual clarity of nearby objects, the higher the value, the clearer] [Note: The higher the clarity, the higher the signal requirements, the faster the physical fitness consumption in Dream City, the more frequent eating is required to maintain physical strength, and it may also reduce sleep quality, making you more tired after waking up] [Warning: If you choose a clarity of level 8 or above, please do not build a residence in Dream City that is too similar to real life, at least set clear and obvious signs to distinguish between dream and reality]
Song He didn't hesitate to check "10" first.
After checking, another white light descended from beside him!
A small wooden table appeared next to him, with a pot of emerald green plants on it.
Song He took the pot of plants and examined it carefully in front of him, immediately shocked by the ultimate clarity!
The whole pot of plants was a bit like a miniature version of a mangrove forest, with dense branches and aerial roots standing tall, while countless sesame-sized small leaves formed a lush canopy!
This is not an Earth native plant, but the appearance of some kind of alien plant calculated by a student of the Interstellar Exploration Academy, with a hint of otherworldly charm in its realism.
Looking closer, you could see the veins on each sesame green leaf, and even the fine fluff on the leaves. Those fluff were so small that they could be used as handkerchiefs for ants, yet there were thousands of them, all clearly visible!
Awesome! Top-notch artwork-like texture!
If this thing were a jade carving ornament, just based on its fineness, it could easily sell for nine figures at an auction house!
Song He reached out to touch the small leaves, but noticed his fingers.
The fine and shallow lines on the skin were clearly visible, the fingerprints could even be counted in circles, the surface of the nails showed uneven small reflections, and when he clenched his fist hard, the bulging of the blue veins and knuckles on the back of his hand and the red and white color changes in his palm were all there!
"Holy shit!" He couldn't help but curse.
This is too realistic!
The feeling is even more realistic than looking at my own hands in reality! After all, in reality, I overuse my eyes when reading books and data, and my eyesight has declined somewhat. But here, looking at the skin of my palm, the effect isn't just a magnifying glass, it's almost a microscope!
He looked at the questionnaire and had a sudden idea. He erased the checkmark next to 10 and put a checkmark next to 1.
In an instant, the scene before him blurred completely.
It was as if the video was halfway through and the membership expired, the picture quality dropping from 4K to smooth.
Like eye drops that haven't dried yet, everything on the table was a blur. The small leaves in the potted plant disappeared, turning into a green cloud. His fingerprints were smoothed out, so smooth that he wouldn't even need to wear gloves to commit a crime. The skin color was dull and lacked detail, and even the words on the questionnaire felt like the resolution had dropped, the decrease was simply tragic!
Song He erased the checkmark after 1 and started trying each one from 2 onwards. When he tried the 4th level of clarity, he felt it was similar to the old version of the Dream Control Helmet. When he changed it to the 10th level of clarity, he couldn't help but marvel again, the top picture quality was indeed too clear!
For a couple of seconds, he was even a little dazed. The 10th level of close-up picture quality was so clear that he couldn't tell he was in a dream at all! Is there a dream more realistic than reality?
[2. Please set the clarity of distant vision. The higher the value, the clearer it is]
[Note: The higher the clarity, the higher the signal requirement. The faster the Physical Fitness consumption in Dream City, the more times you need to eat to maintain your strength. It may also reduce sleep quality, making you more tired after waking up]
Song He first put a checkmark on 1.
He looked up, and in the boundless darkness ahead, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared, but it was too far away to see the details, and even the distance was difficult to discern.
He erased the checkmark after 1 and put a checkmark directly after 10.
A ghostly effect immediately appeared. The field of vision was like adding binoculars, and the light in the distance became clear. It was also a small wooden table illuminated by a white light, with a Pear on the table.
Song He estimated that the distance to that Pear was at least one kilometer, but he could actually distinguish that there was a Pear on the table!
With such heaven-defying distant vision, he really became an eagle eye. Humans in reality absolutely do not have such vision, equivalent to overlooking the grassland from hundreds of meters in the air, being able to see a fist-sized rabbit on the grass, or distinguishing the facial features of a passerby two intersections away!
The first two settings on the questionnaire suddenly made his hair stand on end. He knew in advance that the combination of the Dream Control Helmet 3 and the Second Generation Brain-Mimicking Supercomputer could multiply the clarity of perception several times, but data is just data. Only personal experience can directly feel how outrageous it actually is!
If these two questions could also choose level 10 in reality, the National College Entrance Examination couldn't be taken. The candidates in the front row pick up the answer sheet and turn it over, and the candidates in the back row can easily see each option on the answer sheet! Only one candidate can be placed in one examination room, or screens can be placed between candidates!
[3. Please set the hearing sensitivity]
[Note: The higher the hearing sensitivity, the higher the signal requirement. The faster the Physical Fitness consumption in Dream City, the more times you need to eat to maintain your strength. It may also reduce sleep quality, making you more tired after waking up]
[Warning: "Zhong Kan's father once suffered from ear smartness, hearing the ants moving under the bed, saying it was a bullfight."]
Song He was a little nervous when he saw the warning message.
The so-called bullfight under the bed means that an old man was frail and his hearing became extremely developed. Lying on the bed, he heard ants crawling under the bed, and felt that the movement was as loud as a bullfight.
This allusion comes from the magical Book of Jin. The Book of Jin is a strange flower in historical books. All kinds of strange and absurd records are stuffed into it without verification. Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is considered to advocate Science compared to it. It is also very likely that the social atmosphere at that time was popular to take Wushisan, and the records left in the hallucinations after taking it.
Normally in reality, a bullfight under the bed can never be experienced, but now in a dream, it is suddenly within reach!
Song He took a deep breath and put a checkmark after 10!
The moment he finished checking, he heard a clear thumping sound, like gently hitting the table with a fist, continuously!
It took him several seconds to realize that the sound was his own heartbeat!
The sound of knocking on the table was accompanied by the sound of a strong wind, which came from the sound of inhaling from the nasal cavity. The movement was like a car speeding on the highway with the windows open!
He subconsciously took a hard breath with his nose, and the sound increased sharply, sounding like a carrier-based aircraft was about to take off!
He quickly erased the checkmark after 10, and the sound of the eraser rubbing against the paper was even more frightening, like a bulldozer coming head-on!
After trying several times, any hearing level above 8 was ridiculously amplified, turning the sound of crickets into the roar of tigers and dragons. It only felt normal when reduced to around 5.
No, this option has to be cut, or at least options above 6 should be cut. It serves no purpose other than to torment people and cause psychological trauma.
[4. Please set tactile sensitivity]
[Tactile sensitivity will include two aspects: absolute threshold and difference threshold]
[Absolute threshold, for example, how much dust must fall on your hand before you can perceive it]
[Difference threshold, for example, how much dust must be added or removed from your hand at once before you can perceive a change in the amount of dust]
[Note: Excessive tactile sensitivity can lead to increased pain and spiciness]
This time, Song He was honest and didn't go to extremes by choosing 10. Instead, he started from 5 and tried it back and forth.
He quickly concluded that this option could also be cut. It's better to stick with the old feel, especially since the tactile setting affects the spiciness, which will affect the taste of a large number of foods in the Dream City's catering industry. This option is closely related to money!
The fifth item was smell, and the sixth was taste. Song He tried them carefully and decided to cut them all. There's no need to present unnecessary settings to customers.
The seventh item had even more interesting settings!
