"Ahem, the meeting will resume again.

First, let’s enter the usual experimental progress reporting session.

Don't tell me this time that you don't have enough time. Wasn't the skill you played just now in the experimental hall very good?"

Dr. Shigemura knows exactly which hand the star carving refers to.

When Xingke gave Dr. Shigemura the pocket watch, the instructions for use and precautions were already engraved inside the pocket watch. As long as Dr. Shigemura senses it with his heart, he can activate [Acceler] and enter [Time Acceleration] at will.

field.

The [acceleration effect] it can provide is about three thousand times the speed. And the three thousand times the speed here is not just three thousand times the action, but all aspects.

Whether it’s the speed of brain thinking, the function of body movement, or the speed of internal organs and metabolism.

Specifically speaking to the user's own feelings, it is probably "everything around them feels as if time has stopped", but in reality it does not. It looks like it has stopped, but in fact it is still moving at the original three thousand points.

moving at a certain speed.

This is equivalent to three thousand times more time to think and work than before.

It looks awesome, doesn't it? The magic that allows an ordinary person to transform into Quicksilver and The Flash instantly is certainly very powerful.

But while it is powerful, it does not come without a price.

A person who speeds up work three thousand times, while working three thousand times faster, also consumes his life three thousand times faster.

In other words, your remaining life has become one-thousandth of its original length. In the eyes of others, you will age very quickly.

Accelerating the time with all your strength for one day will truly cause you to age by more than ten years.

Of course it doesn't matter if it's a star, he can use [Acceler] at will, and he won't die anyway.

But it's different for others. Even Louise, a real magician of nothingness, rarely uses it, let alone a mortal who can force acceleration.

So in order to prevent Dr. Shigemura from accidentally dying, Xing Ke attached a passive release of recovery magic to the pocket watch, hanging Dr. Shigemura's life. That's why he looked the same as he did two years ago, not much better, but

It didn't get worse or die.

However, when Xingke first made the pocket watch, he set the restoration magic to only target one person...

"Doctor, aren't you afraid that the people in the same laboratory as you will suddenly expire and die?"

Xingke said helplessly.

Originally, I just thought that this old man could use it alone, but I didn't expect that this old man would drag the entire laboratory together to speed up.

Because the pocket watch made by Hoshikaku was just like the [time pauser] picked up by the actors in the short movies, which was fool-proof. Therefore, it was not surprising that Dr. Shigemura could do this very easily. Hoshikaku did it.

But Xingke didn't prepare for others to restore their magic.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't accelerate too much, didn't I? It's only thirty-two times.

They all know the actual situation and do it voluntarily. At the same time, I also gave them corresponding material compensation and treatment.

Thanks to them, the progress of the experiment has been much faster..."

Although Dr. Shigemura said so, except for the last sentence, other stars did not believe it at all.

Dr. Shigemura didn't know what conditions were imposed to make those researchers give up 31/32 of their own lives. Xing Ke didn't want to know about this at all. As long as they were willing, Xing Ke couldn't control that much.

However, it is a good thing that the experiment is progressing quickly. At most, it is just a matter of going to the large experimental site to add a continuous recovery formation.

"Oh, forget it, I didn't think well. I didn't expect you to take out the [Acceler] pocket watch and share it. I will solve the user's lifespan issue later."

"Really? Then can't I increase the acceleration multiplier?"

Dr. Shigemura's old face was smiling.

"Hey, it's okay, but you have to take it easy. They are all our rare researchers, so just use them sparingly."

"Of course, I treasure all precious researchers, hehe..."

Xingkou knew that Dr. Shigemura was not lying, he indeed treasured those precious researchers.

Otherwise, this old guy wouldn't have specially arranged his disciples to other independent laboratories, and Kaos would have to notify him of the meeting.

However, the key point is the word "precious". Only precious researchers can be "treasured" by Dr. Shigemura.

Those who have no talent and only serve as a screw in the experimental process, and can be replaced at any time... You think too much, just sit back and do your own thing.

When Dr. Shigemura first experimented with the impact of the acceleration field on the human body, he might have done something like this [let the researchers collectively accelerate three thousand times, and after a few days, everyone except Dr. Shigemura himself would die]

.

Xingke felt that if it was Dr. Shigemura, he might actually be able to do this kind of thing.

"Well, now I'm just waiting to see what research results will be obtained by expediting the lives of the researchers."

"Hehehe, that's absolutely true."

This time Dr. Shigemura will not be as embarrassed by the report on the progress of the experiment as he was last time.

"The first is virtual reality expansion technology. We have basically mastered how to achieve timely interaction between the human brain and quantum computers.

Then, how to use the five senses information of vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, etc. that have been constructed by the computer in advance, and even the senses of gravity, fatigue, gap, syncope, etc., or other small categories of senses, or cold, warm

, oppression and other small sensory classifications, we can easily send them directly to the human brain through electromagnetic signals.

It even replaces the signals that the human brain should originally receive from other organs, thus allowing humans to enter a false world completely simulated by computers. The idea was formally established.

From then on, there was the foundation of [Virtual Reality Expansion Technology].

Moreover, the hardware equipment required for [Virtual Reality Expansion] has also been compressed to the lowest cost range due to the successful development of micro-quantum computers.

Although there are some differences in the size and production cost of the equipment due to different functions, they are all controlled within the range that can be carried by individuals..."

"Can you give me an approximate figure for the specific production cost? Doctor?"

Xingji, who considers himself to be more cautious, decided to ask about the price just in case, just in case he believed the lies of this unreliable old man and then became happy in vain.

After all, this old man has not been in contact with the outside world of human civilization for many years, and he does not look like a young man like Higa who often purchases various things online.

Maybe he has some biased understanding of today’s prices?

And if the cost price of a virtual reality device can be reduced to within the retail price range of a high-end gaming computer, Xingke will certainly be happy.

Because in that case, it will be much easier to popularize this kind of equipment. As long as Xingji chooses a truly zero-profit operation, this kind of value-for-money technology product will soon become popular.

Don't think that the price of this high-tech is definitely tens or hundreds of times higher than the price of civilian personal computers, because the [retail price] cannot be compared with the [zero-profit cost price] of Xingke.

A super-cool-looking personal computer or mobile phone terminal that uses the latest technology and has various functions and running speeds that outperform other similar products. Can you believe that when it was launched?

Is that price actually more than ten times its cost price?

Can you imagine how huge profits are made by manufacturers of electronic equipment such as mobile phones and computers? Can you imagine why a three-star electronics company supports a country with a stick?

Many people should know that the price of many electronic devices will drop to a quarter of their original value within three years. This is a phenomenon that can be seen everywhere, right?

Do you really think that the cost is cheaper because the manufacturers’ production technology has improved?

Nonsense.

The truth is simply true [how bold a person is, how productive the land is].

Although there are many hugely profitable industries, as an industry that is a necessity for modern people but is not subject to national macro-control like food and energy, the electronic equipment industry is the real profit maker.

How did Xingke know? Then don’t look at who currently monopolizes the neon electronic equipment industry.

If Xingji had to look at Shuangma Electronics' bill income every day and count the zeros, he would be dizzy from counting.

You don’t know how painful it is to [count money until your hands cramp].

There are no electronic brands other than the Shuangma brand in Neon now, okay? Because compared to the Shuangma brand, the products of other brands have no advantages in terms of product quality and functionality. They can also be sold at low prices.

stay home.

After all, the transportation costs are different between products shipped from foreign factories and products shipped from Neon’s local underground unmanned factories.

And now, in order to promote a [new lifestyle], Xingke is preparing to sell [virtual reality equipment] at [zero profit cost price] - you can imagine how cheap the price will be.

But the so-called [zero profit cost sales] cannot make Xingke lose money.

Because [zero profit cost sales] is actually [zero profit cost] after calculating the costs from production to transportation, labor, etc., it is [zero profit] that will not lose money at any time.

This is a businessman. There will never be such behavior as "giving profits", there will only be "returning to the original price".

…………

Dr. Shigemura hesitated slightly, but still took out the tablet in his hand, brought up a data page and handed it to Xingke's hand.

Because to be honest, he himself had little confidence in the price assessment he had made. If he was allowed to think about it on his own, he would soon be shaken by his confidence.

"Remove all redundant things, so that the user experience can reach 97% of the immersive level of bare metal... Is the cost overwhelming at most?"

Just give it a try, I have no intention of making money from this anyway."

After Xingke read this page on the tablet, he habitually flipped it back. He was a little curious about the contents of the next few pages, which contained various very different devices.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He just put the tablet on the table and continued to ask:

"So, basic technical support is available, what about other research? You continue."

Seeing that his big boss was quite satisfied, Dr. Shigemura breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this year's experimental budget had been saved.
To be continued...
