May 5th, 19: 59 PM. There were nine minutes left before Dream Entertainment's press conference began.
Currently, more than 1,600 players had arrived at Dream Entertainment's press conference.
According to the entry records, there were 100 local players in Shuangqing City. None of them were absent.
Of the 1,500 players from all over the world, more than 140 were absent. These players were too far away and couldn't make it to Shuangqing City in Xia Xia.
Dream Entertainment didn't allocate any seats for the absent players to the reporters waiting outside.
In the end, more than 100 local tycoons were invited by Dream Entertainment. These included Storm from Lijian Province, Mu Feng from Shuangqing City in Xia Xia, Hanzo Hattori from Voisin, and Lancelot from Great Britain.
There were more than 800 reporters from all over the world at the press conference. This was because Dream Entertainment had limited the number of people allowed in. Each media outlet could only allow three people in at most.
If they didn't limit the number of people in the press conference, some media outlets would even try to send in seven or eight staff members and occupy the limited space.
Xie Hui was the staff member in charge of the press conference. He arranged the seating arrangements for all the people in the press conference.
The local tycoons naturally sat at the front, even more than the reporters from the media outlets.
Of course, there were only a few dozen people in the front row. They were mainly arranged for people like the super tycoons of Lijian Country, Storm, and the like.
The Nan An Region International Convention and Exhibition Center was very big. According to the actual size of the exhibition hall on the first floor, it could easily accommodate more than 3,000 people. However, Dream Entertainment didn't allow 3,000 people to enter the press conference in order to ensure safety and set up the venue.
At 20: 08 in the evening, the originally dim rostrum suddenly lit up with a bunch of spotlights. Shi Lei, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked from the backstage to the front stage with a refreshed look. The spotlights kept chasing after him.
Shi Lei held a small script in his left hand. There were some speech scripts on it. He held a microphone in his right hand.
There were a total of three projectors on the back wall of the stage. The projector in the middle showed Dream Entertainment's logo. A red, green, and blue Mobius band was flowing slowly.
The two projectors on the left and right projected a sheepskin scroll-like background. Nothing was shown on it.
Shi Lei picked up the microphone. Facing more than two thousand people, he didn't have stage fright. Instead, he calmly said, "Good evening to all the players who have come from afar and reporters!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several lines of text appeared on the images projected on the left and right side of the sheepskin scroll.
It included English, German, French, Russian, Southern Dynasties, Voisin, Arabic, and so on.
This was the voice translation technology provided by Izur. Although Izur could provide simultaneous voice translation, Shi Lei did not allow Izur to do so. Instead, he used asynchronous text translation with a slight delay.
The overseas players present were originally complaining in their hearts. They didn't understand Xia Xia's language and didn't know what Shi Lei was talking about.
When the projector projected the translated sentences, the players finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The veteran players in the World of Bravehearts were used to similar translation technology because there was a similar translation service in the World of Bravehearts. They didn't find it strange at all.
However, all the media reporters present were extremely shocked!
Using computer software to translate human natural language had always been a scientific fantasy. At least, it was currently very difficult to achieve. They didn't expect Dream Entertainment to have a natural language recognition and translation system.
The players present applauded and encouraged, while the reporters took photos and recorded Dream Entertainment's natural language translation technology.
The reporters were looking forward to Dream Entertainment's second-generation somatosensory operating system, but there was a pleasant surprise. The press conference had just begun, and Dream Entertainment had already given them big news.
Only a small portion of the reporters were indifferent. These reporters were players in the World of Bravehearts. Dream Entertainment had denied the news regarding the natural language translation in the previous reports.
Shi Lei stood on the stage and waited for the applause to subside before he continued speaking. "Today, Dream Entertainment will bring the players …"
Shi Lei raised his left hand and looked at the script. The players sitting below smiled kindly.
Shi Lei coughed and placed the script in his suit pocket. "Ahem, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. To be honest, I just received the script and didn't have time to memorize it.
Since I didn't memorize the script, I might as well not use it! "
The audience below the stage gave Shi Lei another round of applause, expressing their approval for his self-mocking behavior.
"Today's press conference is to announce Dream Entertainment's next-generation somatosensory operating system to the public."
Shi Lei paused for a moment before he continued speaking. "Perhaps everyone is curious. Dream Entertainment's first-generation somatosensory operating system hasn't been released on the market yet. Why are we in a hurry to release the second-generation somatosensory operating system?"
In the venue, the special guests sitting in the front nodded in agreement with Shi Lei's question.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "I've seen many players nodding, including some old friends.
This includes Mu Feng from Shuangqing City and Storm and Sacred Light Priest from Lijian Province. They all have doubts.
Before answering this question, as the CEO of Dream Entertainment, I have to clarify something. "
When they heard that Shi Lei wanted to clarify the matter, the reporters immediately focused their attention on him.
Dream Entertainment wanted to clarify nothing more than the private collusion between Dream Entertainment and AMD.
"On behalf of Dream Entertainment and its parent company, Mirui Technology, I'd like to announce to the world's media and shareholders that Dream Entertainment has not reached a private agreement with AMD and has exclusive negotiating rights with Intel."
Shi Lei gave some time for the reporters to take notes. Then he said, "Mirui Technology's three billion USD loan from Rongcheng City is directly related to Dream Entertainment's second-generation somatosensory operating system."
Shi Lei's words shocked everyone. The second-generation somatosensory operating system required three billion USD?
"Now, let's watch a promotional video to let everyone understand the second-generation somatosensory operating system!" Shi Lei walked down the rostrum and sat in the reserved seat.
The translation projections on both sides of the rostrum were temporarily extinguished. On the main projection screen in the middle, the Dream Entertainment logo exploded into a rain of light. Then the screen dimmed. Three seconds later, it lit up again.
On the screen, a man who looked a little like Li Chai sat up on the bed. He quickly washed up and started eating breakfast.
There was nothing special about this plot.
However, after he finished his breakfast, he went to the room next door.
The decoration of the room next door was very unique. The entire room was equipped with elastic sponges.
The most special thing was that in the middle of the room, there was an elastic rope hanging from the ceiling.
Eight cameras were arranged in the four corners of the room according to the top and bottom positions. This was the recognition front-end configuration of the Brave World's somatosensory operating system. Players were familiar with it.
In the corner, a silver full-tower personal game server stood quietly on the ground.
At the top of the server's chassis, a black helmet that looked like a motorcycle helmet lay quietly on top of the chassis.
When the black helmet that looked like a motorcycle helmet appeared, there was a commotion among the players.
Shi Lei could even hear the players' exclamations.
"Virtual gaming helmet!"
"F * ck, Dream Entertainment is going against the heavens!
Are they going to create a holographic online game? "
"Nani?
What's going on?
How can Dream Entertainment create something like that? What a joke! "This was obviously a Voisin player. Although they liked the Brave World, they didn't agree with Dream Entertainment.
Super Tycoon Storm's eyes lit up as he looked at the projection screen. He clenched his fists tightly. "D * mn Dream Entertainment. They've actually reached this level?
If Dream Entertainment has really reached this level, then their previous announcement that the non-player-controlled characters in the Brave World aren't real artificial intelligences is true or false? "
Storm didn't have many pursuits in the real world. He was currently immersed in the Brave World and obsessed with a non-player-controlled character in the virtual online game, which was his Senior Sister Lv 'er.
"Hmph!
If Senior Sister Lv 'er has real artificial intelligences, then she's equivalent to a real life. Dream Entertainment, where did you come from? "Storm hoped that Lv' er had real artificial intelligences.
If Lv 'er had real artificial intelligences, perhaps he could be together with her. Even if it was a virtual life in the game world, Storm was willing.
The reporters heard the players' discussion. They knew what a virtual gaming helmet was. If Dream Entertainment had really developed such a thing, they would become the focus of the world's attention tomorrow.
The world-famous Sun newspaper sent a reporter who was already thinking about how to write a news article that would attract the attention of the world's readers.
This newspaper always liked to do such things. They didn't care about the authenticity of the report, only the attention of the readers.
On the screen, the man who looked similar to Li Chai changed into a set of custom-made clothes. Then, he walked to the personal game server and picked up the ink-black helmet. Then, he returned to the center of the room.
In the center of the room, the man hung the elastic rope hanging from the ceiling on the back of the special clothes through the safety lock.
After the hook was connected, the man jumped. With the help of the elastic rope, he jumped higher than usual.
The man seemed satisfied with the result of the jump. He smiled at the camera and slowly put on the black helmet.
The screen dimmed as the helmet was put on …
