Chapter 135 The real thing is imaginative! (2)
Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated production machine.
Although it has not yet been officially released due to legal issues, it has already appeared in various media outlets and has received a lot of attention from the industry.
[No, while releasing the technology of virtual reality, they do not sell the devices necessary for the most important production? Isn’t this just a ploy to delay the arrival of other competitors as much as possible? In order to prevent this situation from happening, a bill is needed to prevent monopolistic giants such as Ajin Electronics from monopolizing a specific technology and monopolizing the entire market.] [No, why are you bringing that problem here now
? I don’t know. Isn’t the release delayed because the opposition party frothed and blocked the enactment of virtual reality-related legislation? Do you know how contradictory it is to say something like this after the party to which you are a member opposes the passage of the bill as a group?] [No, that is different from this
! Isn’t it because the side effects and harms that virtual reality can cause to the human body have not yet been verified!] [If you’re
against the passage of the bill because you’re so concerned about public health, you’d rather be a virtual reality game that’s getting a lot of popularity right now. Let’s try to prevent it from happening.]
[…..]
[Why, it seems like you can hear the sound of falling tickets all the way, so you can’t bear to do that?]
[This person is for real! It’s been discussed since before, but it’s rude, what kind of habit is that!]
Virtual reality.
A technique that came out of nowhere in an unexpected situation. However, unlike ordinary patents, it was a revolutionary and destructive technology with a huge ripple effect that completely overturned human civilization and the world’s life, so each country was fighting fiercely behind the scenes. And Korea also jumped on the bandwagon.
[Please provide related technical information as it is necessary for self-verification of the side effects of virtual reality on the human body. There is no need to worry too much because the state will ensure that the source technology is not leaked, so there is no need to worry
too much. Ajin Electronics openly ignored the government’s request, saying, “What kind of dog barking is this?” However, the South Korean government’s request became more and more persistent and blatant.
[I will tell you directly. For the sake of the national interest, please provide everything that Ajin Electronics knows about the technology that implements virtual reality. If you do that, the virtual reality business in Korea will run smoothly without any problems. But if not…. you will regret it.]
A technology extortion operation that involved the president and intelligence agencies such as the National Intelligence Service. If Ajin Electronics had developed virtual reality technology independently, it might have been stolen as if it had opened its eyes and cut its nose, but unfortunately, virtual reality technology was not unique to Ahjin Electronics.
American giants.
Silicoff Bio Industries.
Argos Corporation.
A technology created through a large-scale project promoted with US megacorps, pioneers and rulers of the bio and IT industries. That’s why the Korean government and the US government were both blind, so they couldn’t openly threaten and rip them off, and all they could do was to grieve at the non-cooperative Ajin Electronics and set up a trespass.
[Kuhmm….. Regarding the enactment of virtual reality legislation, it is not too late to introduce it slowly and step by step while looking at the situation in other countries. What would you do if you recklessly commercialized a related technology and discovered even fatal side effects? In this case, it is wise to cross the stone bridge while tapping. Keuheumhum…..]
Anyway, the Korean government has no intention of granting related permits for the time being. During the fierce battle between the greedy government and Ajin Electronics, which covets virtual reality technology, it was the industry officials who were enthusiastic about the new technology called virtual reality and were salivating when it would be released.
-Fuck, they say that Lucid Dream will be released in the US soon. When will we come out?
-Aren’t the real development staff going out of date?
Those who need to respond most sensitively to industry trends and trends that change day by day. This was especially true when it came to innovative technologies that overthrew the current board.
-For now, I need to get lost in Arcadia Co., Ltd.
-how? They say there are no public loans there?
-I have to put in the application form somehow with my existing career.
While such famous developers are knocking on Arcadia’s door one after another, in a lecture room at Seomin University, an employee eagerly explains to the students who are looking at him curiously about the lucid dream that developers greedily aspire to. was doing
“Using this equipment, we can convert the elements we want to implement into virtual reality into data. To put it in a way that you can easily understand, um…. How about a translator that converts human imagination into machine language that computers can understand?”
Although he was explaining in a very nonchalant tone, the students who listened to the staff muttered self-deprecating voices with faces that seemed lost.
“Does that make sense…?”
“What fantasy is this? Converting human imagination…?”
“Wow….. Really… Wow…..”
Before coming here, the students had only tinkered with programs using the C language or Python. So they could know. It’s like a monster that far transcends the existing common sense of the device that is placed in front of them now.
“I… I have a question!”
“Yes, student there. tell me What are you curious about?”
A question raised by someone who couldn’t contain their curiosity. He asked with a look of great anticipation, his really twinkling eyes shining.
“How exactly do you recognize and convert electrical signals sent by your brain? And I don’t think the signal sent by the brain is perfectly the same for each person. Are there any errors that occur in that part? Oh, and how many things can be implemented with this, and exactly in what way to use it…..”
Questions that are pouring in with rapid fire without end. The staff member, who listened intently to his question mixed with excessive enthusiasm, raised his hand and interrupted the student.
“Wait. When you ask so many questions, it’s hard for me to answer.”
“Ah… I’m sorry. I am so excited.”
A student who realizes that he said too much and apologizes with a slightly flushed face. At his words, the employee nodded and opened his mouth.
“it’s okay. It can be. First of all, to answer the student’s first question… In fact, we don’t even know.”
“yes….?”
“…?”
“…?”
Students who put question marks on their faces at completely unexpected answers. The staff talked to them as if it was natural.
“Just because we use a computer and drive a car doesn’t mean we understand every detail of it, right? We don’t know exactly how exactly electromagnetic signals are generated in the brain when humans think and act, and how lucid dreams recognize them and convert them into data. That’s exactly what only the developers who made this thing know.”
The developer of Lucid Dream. None of the students in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering were ignorant of an issue that has recently stirred up society, so everyone nodded as if they understood what the staff member was saying.
“Still, fortunately I can answer the second and third questions. First of all, the signals that the brain sends to each person are different. Although it is a similar pattern, each person’s unique electromagnetic signal is different, so adjustments must be made in advance.”
At the employee’s words, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, who had experienced lucid dreams, exchanged glances. And whether the two of them did it or not, the staff standing on the podium continued with a slight frown as if it were a little ambiguous.
“Lastly, if you ask how many things can be implemented with this and exactly how it can be used… I personally would like to answer infinite.”
buzz buzz.
The lecture room is slightly agitated by those words. Everyone was making puzzled faces as if they couldn’t guess exactly, but the student who asked the question raised his hand and asked again carefully.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean exactly by… infinite…”
A question that definitely made me more timid than before. To that question, the staff stared blankly at the student and asked back with a smile.
“Are there limits to human imagination?”
* * *
After some explanation of Lucid Dream. Professor Kim Tae-Hoon smiled heartily as he saw the students who went inside the machine and experienced it.
“How is it? Are there any students who show a little bit of quality?”
The staff who kept going through the documents while checking what the students were doing in the capsule on the monitor. He answered Professor Taehoon Kim’s question with a slightly dry face.
“Ummm… Well, I don’t think there are any students who are that special yet. In order to effectively use this lucid dream, a high synchro rate must precede it… To be honest, there are no students in this classroom who have such impressively high levels. I think you’d better not expect too much, Professor.”
An employee who only takes honest facts and lashes out. At those words, Professor Kim Tae-hoon muttered, licking his lips, as though his bones were hurting, but knowing that it was a cold fact that did not contain any emotion, he just regretted it.
“Um… that’s unfortunate. I was wondering if there was a student who could be confirmed as a special hire…”
The agreement between Seomin University and Arcadia Co., Ltd. was made through a transaction with Jaeyoung. Among the details of the agreement, there was a provision that Arcadia Co., Ltd. could discover outstanding students and hire them immediately upon graduation, so Professor Kim Tae-hun had a lot of strange expectations for this time.
“What’s surprising is…that student Jaeyoung Yoon? The synchro rate is amazing, but the grades are much lower than expected.”
“Is that so?”
An employee who does not turn his head away from the monitor while looking at the relevant data with a sharp eye. He nodded, checking carefully to make sure he hadn’t missed anything.
“yes. It’s not worse than the others… but it’s just average usage. To be honest, if you show off such an insane synchro rate, it won’t be a synchronization problem with the device…”
An employee who didn’t finish what he was saying while lengthening his tongue. Professor Kim Tae-hun could not bear to wonder if he was curious about the last words and urged him.
“What if it’s not a synchronization problem? Then what is it for?”
At that, the staff spoke to Professor Kim Tae-hoon with a more serious face than ever.
“He’s just a friend with no imagination.”
“Four imaginations?”
“yes. It’s really, really ignorantly, to the level of living without ever imagining it.”
“…..”
Professor Kim Tae-hoon stood with his mouth wide open as if he was taken aback by the staff member’s words. Leaving him alone, the staff looked at the real-time implementation situation being broadcast on the screen in front of the classroom again, and soon shut down the system.
Push Sisik.
The compressed air is exhausted and a student comes out of the capsule holding his head as if dizzy. The staff spoke formally to him.
“You may feel dizzy or lightheaded temporarily, but if you sit down and rest for a while, you will be fine soon. great job. Then, next time…”
A student returning to his seat after experiencing a lucid dream. The employee checked the list to see who hadn’t done it yet and said.
“Finally, you are the last student. Jaekyun Lim. Lim Jae-gyun student?”
“Yes…yes!”
Jae-kyun raises his hand with a nervous face at those words. As everyone in the classroom looked at him, he flinched and shrank. The staff smiled and asked in a comfortable voice.
“Shall we check how much the student’s imagination is?”
