Rebirth Interstellar Life Rules

Lan Ze stood at the gate of his house tangled for a few seconds, and then asked: "Where are those carry-on equipment?" He thought it would be better to start researching from the smallest piece and arrange the exercise room with the largest volume to the end—because Those few pieces of close-fitting equipment are also worn when exercising and fighting, and they also have the function of recording their own data, and there are various additional effects that can be worn out without any problems, so they are given the highest priority.

"They were all placed in the previous fitness room together with the holographic equipment." After speaking, the minibus led the two of them towards the fitness room knowingly and wittily.

Two silver streamer devices are placed in the room near the left wall, looking from a distance, they look like two... coffins.Well, except for its round shape and a layer of brown glass mirror outside, it really has the same effect as a coffin.

Lan Ze walked around the two big guys, feeling a little uneasy in his heart: "This thing really won't wake up after falling asleep, right?"

The minibus tilted his head in confusion and explained: "This product is an auxiliary device specially used together with the virtual terminal. It is similar to the cabin structure principle in the mech, and can guarantee the user's personal safety to the greatest extent."

Lan Ze helplessly glanced at the robot who didn't understand what he was thinking, and didn't say a word to explain his original intention.

Cang Qing was upset about another thing - "This thing can only be used by one person?" The area inside this thing is so big, even if it is used together with his family's Lan Ze, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

The minibus continued to explain very kindly: "This equipment is a single-person facility. If more than one person enters the facility, the user will not be able to enter the submerged state."

Lan Ze was once again puzzled by another question: "You said this thing is the same as the internal structure of the mecha? Could it be that the pilot who drives the mecha also has to sink into...hypnosis and then drive the mecha?" But the mechas they encountered before They don't look like they are being driven by a hypnotized person!And even though my table number is considered an old model, it can be regarded as a kind of mecha, and that thing also doesn't need to make the driver fall asleep.

The minibus continued to explain to the two of them with all its heart: "Civilian and tool mechas do not need to be driven through spiritual links. However, advanced military mechas need to maximize the potential of the user and cooperate with the machine that can best utilize the user's strengths. Combat-type mecha, so it is necessary to half-integrate the user's spirit with the mecha to maximize the fighter's combat effectiveness. But the driver himself does not need to enter the sinking state during the battle, it is just a spiritual link. But if you enter the virtual network, In order to enhance the user's use effect and achieve real training purposes, this kind of submerged cabin will be used to avoid the all-round somatosensory problem of driving without a real mech."

To put it bluntly, this thing is to allow users to feel the feeling of driving a mecha, without having to equip everyone with a mecha, and to be able to play when there is no custom-made mecha that best suits their physique. The best choice is only made by the user's maximum combat power.

Lan Ze immediately took out the instruction manual, and while listening to the minibus' explanation, he flipped through it, and finally figured out the real function of this set of equipment - if it is only sinking into the network alone, then there is a combat auxiliary special equipment that Lan Ze bought. The virtual glasses can enter the "sinking" mode, directly submerging the spirit into the virtual network.But this machine can also assist users to feel the pressure and various feelings brought about by real training, making the virtual operation more real, and even feel pain, weightlessness and other real feelings.

But now, Lan Ze has extended his evil hand to the brand-new, brand-new personal equipment of three types that have just been delivered, a total of six sets.

A set of special virtual glasses for combat aids. This thing is shaped like a piece of glasses. It is narrow and long but can fit the user's face perfectly. It completely seals the entire eye behind the lens from left to right. After putting it on, Aozawa I found that this thing has almost no weight!

Different from ordinary glasses, this kind of smart virtual glasses can change the lens color at will. The default is transparent and colorless, and it looks as if the user is not wearing it at all.

On the back of the glasses legs is a special material double-layer ring that can be worn on the head. At first, Aozawa thought that this thing was just to fix the glasses on the face and prevent them from falling off. The prompt in front of you - whether to turn on the intelligent temperature control?

It wasn't until Lan Ze tried it a little bit that he realized that the belt-like thing could actually control the temperature at any time!If you go out in hot weather, this thing can be used as a mobile air conditioner!And it can be served warm or cold!

Although the range of action of this thing is only on the head, it's better than letting people directly expose to the sun, right?

And the effect of wearing the glasses is also very outstanding. After binding it to his personal terminal, some operation menus appeared in Lan Ze's field of vision, just like the operation buttons distributed at the four corners of the screen in online games like.

The column on the left shows some related devices that you wear. At this time, there are only icons of personal terminals, home control systems (minibus Q-version shape) and other devices. In the upper right corner is a mail icon, which can be seen directly from here You can reply to various messages you have received.

What’s even better about this thing is—all the things within the sight range, as long as there are corresponding information on the Internet, as long as the user moves their eyes to those things, a prompt will appear, prompting that the names of these things are nothing, if you choose to click After the name, there will be specific instructions and explanations!

Even people are the same!

At this time, Lan Ze looked at Cang Qing who was also wearing glasses beside him, because the two had already joined each other in the personal terminal, so after clicking or selecting his name at this time, Cang Qing's external message would still appear. business card!Of course, there is only the name "Cang Qing" on this business card.

In the lower right corner of the field of view of the glasses, there are navigation, maps and other content. Now they are half-blurred and placed there after zooming out. If necessary, you can zoom in and query at any time, which is very convenient.

With this thing, it's like adding a virtual operating system to your vision.And if you go out, wear this glasses and want to read some letters, web pages, videos, etc., you don’t need to lower your head to fiddle with your personal terminal at all, just take it with you!

The only problem is that if you don’t wear special gloves for virtual operation during operation, you must either use voice to operate, or use your finger to click on the corresponding position in the field of vision. The slowest is nothing. The method of not using it is - stare at a certain icon, and the corresponding operations and options will appear.It's just that under normal circumstances, if the user has no physical problems, this auxiliary operation is turned off.

After briefly trying the effect of the glasses, Aozawa quickly disassembled the special gloves for virtual operation of the two of them. This glove is very thin, and there is almost no feeling after wearing it. What makes Aozawa want to complain is that this thing can actually change color ! !And it also has heat preservation and cooling function! !

After confirming this, Lan Ze turned his head to look at the minibus, and the auxiliary equipment in the glasses immediately jumped out a line of name and small characters on the top of the minibus, saying "minibus, butler robot". "Minibus, do you have clothes that can control the temperature?"

The minibus nodded immediately: "All combat clothing has this function, and only a few brands in general fashion have this function. However, there are many brands of temperature control collars and temperature control stickers for owners to choose from."

Considering that the two of them will rarely go out in the sun for the time being to catch the cold, Aozawa nodded and did not ask further questions.

The function of these two gloves is not only the effect of heat preservation and cooling. As long as you wear them and cooperate with your own virtual glasses, you can move your fingers under the table without raising your arms and fumbling around. There is a small mouse-like point in front of the operation to perform various operations.It is also possible to make an "input" gesture with both hands on the page where text input appears, and text input can be performed no matter where the hands are placed.

You can set the corresponding gestures when you turn on the "mouse" mode and turn it off. Even if you move your fingers randomly after it is turned off, it will not affect the picture in the lens. It is really convenient.Of course, this function can also be operated by voice, it just depends on the user's personal habits.

In the end, Aozawa picked up a small bag with two fingers, and looked at two small, thin, and transparent rubber-like things in it suspiciously: "This, this is the earphone?!"

I can't blame Lan Ze for being surprised, it's really this thing... No matter how you look at it, it's just two soft rubber pads! !

"Yes, this is the latest, zero-burden in-ear auxiliary earphone released just last month. It is extremely easy to wear, the sound quality is excellent, and there will be no burden even if you wear it for a long time. Even if the user accidentally drops them As long as the bound personal system is three meters away from the headset, there will be a prompt sound and an auxiliary navigation to help you find it, so you don’t have to worry about losing it. And this generation of products is very durable, even if it costs five hundred catties It won't break even if the Lana Stars step on it!"

The corners of Lan Ze's mouth twitched a few times, and he carefully opened one of the bags. What he put on his fingertips was a small, milky white patch that was smaller than a contact lens and soft. "This, how do I wear this thing?" When choosing this set of headphones, Lan Ze only paid attention to its specific numerical description, knowing that it was the latest model, easy to wear, and with good sound quality, so he chose it casually, but he At that time, I didn't notice what its appearance was like - in Aozawa's mind, earphones, how strange can it be?

As a result, reality beat him mercilessly again.

"Put the curved side up and place it near the ear hole."

Hearing this, Lan Ze carefully picked up one piece and put it next to his ear, and slowly approached his ear hole. When he was about to get close, he heard a "pop" sound in his ear, as if a small bubble had been punctured. , It actually sticks to the back side of my ear hole like this! !

Afterwards, a clear but not too harsh voice came from Lan Ze's ear: "The No. [-] earphone has been worn successfully. It is judged to be the user's right ear. Please put on the left earphone as soon as possible."

Lan Zemu put a face on his face, and sent the other piece to his left ear.

——This is my Da Xingmeng's level of technology, um, he has really experienced it personally today...

No way, even Lan Ze had seen the space products with his own eyes before, and was amazed at their extraordinaryness.But after all, those things appeared in many works in the era he lived before.But this earphone completely overturned his impression of traditional and previously seen sci-fi works.

Therefore, I have tested the effect of the earphones and confirmed that their sound quality is absolutely superior to some thousand-yuan earphones that he tried in his previous life.And after realizing that the earphone is just an auxiliary personal terminal, the notification tone can only be heard in the earphone and not heard by others, and it is more convenient to watch videos and make video calls, so he put on a stiff face and took his own Cangqing together to each other. I picked a coffin...ah no, it was a sunken virtual device, took off my shoes and lay down on it.

A brown glass panel slowly covered Lanze in it, and after a while, Lanze saw a line of prompts appear on the space in front of him: "I have entered the sunken device, do you want to enter the virtual network?"

Aozawa's finger moved slightly, this time without using voice control, the finger wearing the virtual device auxiliary glove operated the little dot to touch the word "yes".

As soon as the light in front of him dimmed, Lan Ze only felt slightly dizzy in his head, and then sank into the darkness completely. Not long after, he "appeared" in a cylindrical cabin in a pure white room.

The hatch in front of you opens, and here is actually a huge square!

Looking up, it is clearly a sky full of stars, but from somewhere, an inexplicable light source illuminates the entire square.From time to time, there are patches of colorful mist-like bright fog in the sky, and not far away, a group of children are bouncing and chasing bunches of colorful bubbles.Those bubbles seemed to be unbreakable at all, and they were still intact despite being slapped, chased, and trampled by the group of children.

Standing here, Lan Ze was a little dazed looking at all this, as if he had entered from a sci-fi world into another place with both sci-fi and magic...

"The owner has entered the NO.11 central square, and he can go anywhere the owner wants. If the owner wants to exit the virtual network, he just needs to choose to exit and stay where he is for three seconds."

The virtual Q-version image of the minibus jumped out in front of Lan Ze at this time, just like it usually does at home.

Lan Ze was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where is Ah Qing?"

"Master Cangqing just walked out of cabin 33, and there are twenty hatches on your left."

Hearing this, Lan Ze quickly turned around to look for it, and sure enough, he found Cang Qing's shadow behind a few people who had just entered the virtual world with hurried expressions.

Seeing Lan Ze, Cang Qing was obviously relieved.He is not afraid of going somewhere alone, but the premise is to know where Lan Ze is.Now that the two can act together after entering the virtual network, it is naturally the best.

The huge square is a circular building, and the circle in the center has circular cylinder hatches connected in a circle.All online people will enter the virtual network from now on, just like the resurrection point in the game. Not long after a person walks out, another person may come out of the hatch he just left.

The time when the two of Lan Ze went online happened to be the peak period, and many people who had just got off work and went home to rest would also enter the virtual network at this time.

The two of them walked around holding hands and then confirmed - this central square extends in all directions, and every exit leads to a different place.Such as the commercial street, such as the leisure area, such as the game area, such as the learning area, such as the music area, such as the food area...

That’s right, there is also a gourmet area here. There are many things that are sold at very expensive prices in reality, but they can be sold at a very cheap price after being virtualized here as they are. It is purely a kind of self-consolation in the spirit of Ah Q, but there are still many people who are willing to come here to consume. I really don’t know if they have too much money and no place to spend it?Or there is no money to spend at all to find psychological comfort here.

Of course, although most of these delicacies are superficial, if you feel unsatisfied after "eating" these foods and want to enjoy them in reality, you can order them directly in the store.But most of the delicacies have a daily sales limit. Instead of "eating" here and then taking pictures, it is better to order online directly and then go online when you are full.

As for the commercial street, there are really all kinds of shops and small vendors in it. The things here can be directly ordered and photographed after being fancy here, which can save everyone the energy that would be wasted going to the commercial street and shops in person. , You can also see the real thing "with your own eyes", which is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

And the leisure area seems to be some more leisurely facilities, there are also some relatively leisurely game facilities, such as a kind of arena that is very similar to the billiards in Lan Ze's memory, there are also fishing venues, tennis-like balls Class venues, etc.

Most of the game area is the entrance of various virtual online games, and after entering, you can enjoy a virtual role-playing game in the true sense.

The music area is also similar, there are elegant, forest-like live concerts, and there are also shops outside the tavern, where there are various singers singing on the stage.Some here are pre-recorded virtual images, and some are real musicians working here to earn extra money.

Finally, there is the study area that Lan Ze is currently more concerned about. The entrances to the various academies of the Star Alliance are established here. Because Lan Ze and the two have registered today, they can directly enter the entrance of the Star Alliance Military Association Academy and choose the ones they want to attend. Courses and corresponding courses will be taught directly.Generally speaking, if several people are taking the same class of the same course at the same time, there is a chance that all students will be in the same classroom.But because it is an online college and the time is uncertain, such situations rarely happen, and students can also set up a separate "room" for themselves and set a password before class, so that no one can enter except those who know the password.

The room with a password can also choose how soon after the student enters the class, all in all, all of this is extremely convenient.

Many of these courses could have been taught in a place like a travel house, but because of the confidentiality of some courses, each college finally decided to use this method that requires authentication Only for those knowledge that cannot be learned in the virtual network, the school will allow students to use virtual characters to teach in places with equipment.

Lan Ze and the two didn't go to class right away, they just entered the virtual academy and wandered around before walking out.Afterwards, Lan Zela went straight back to the square, and ran into another place - the "arena".

After the exit leading to the arena, there are dozens of arenas with hundreds of different sports.For example, mech competitions, real-life combat competitions, hoverboard arenas, combat spaceship arenas, high-speed hovercar arenas, and so on.

Although there was a mecha driving training ground in the Academy of the Star Alliance Military Association before, the two of Lan Ze couldn't get in because they hadn't started taking classes in this area.So after Lan Ze found out that there was actually such an arena for spectators, he immediately dragged Cang Qing and rushed over.

Here, it is divided into two types: free onlookers and large-scale events.Free onlookers don't need to ask, both parties participating in the competition are playing for fun, and most of the audience come in at will.And large-scale events are often sponsored by certain small businesses, with certain bonuses and rewards, and relatively formal events.

Of course, you can open sparring training in a relatively hidden room that does not allow onlookers, but the premise is that you must at least have a junior mecha master qualification certificate, which is the first mecha certification that Lanze and the others need to obtain. , also known as the Civilian Mecha Master Qualification Certificate.

Similarly, those who participate in public competitions in other venues must also have the most basic certificates.If you just want to train, of course you can, but before you get the formal qualification certificate, you can only enter the single-person training room and fight alone with the low-intelligence robot given by the system.

Lan Ze and Cang Qing are currently not interested in other competitions, and they went straight to the mecha venue. Fortunately, today there happened to be a small mecha competition jointly held by some shops.Everyone spent three stars (preferential price for minors) to enter the arena, and then they seemed to be directly in a huge stand that looked like a Roman arena.

In the middle of the arena, two mechas of the melee type were colliding passionately at this moment.

Lan Ze looked at the chubby head and cylindrical body, and had the illusion of fighting on the field after the minibus took off the hood and the rag and became bigger. After rubbing his eyes, he looked carefully at the field. The mechas with blue flowers on a white background and a white flower on a blue background collided together again, causing applause from the stands.

... Such a simple and rude way of fighting, fortunately this is a virtual network, otherwise how many mechs would have been damaged?

After Lan Ze saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and looked around. Fortunately, because they came in together, Cang Qing was by his side at this time.

Seeing him looking at him, Cang Qing held Lan Ze's hand very consciously—even though he is on the Internet now, there must be some habitual little moves!

It took a full half an hour for a match to end when one mecha was completely "scratched" by the collision.After the next round of two mechas came up and collided passionately again, Lan Ze finally couldn't help it, and pulled Cang Qing to go offline directly - it would be more reliable to go to the newly added exercise room to have a look!
