Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1091 Phantom System

Chapter 1091 Phantom System


In order to respond to the public’s hype on virtual reality technology, Star Sky Technology held a product launch conference. Not only did they announce the technical details of the new “Phantom” virtual reality system, but they also brought out five demonstration helmets, which were attached to chairs.


The atmosphere of the product launch was pushed to a peak.


Exclaims of disbelief were heard inside the venue.


People were rus.h.i.+ng to experience what it was like to be immersed in a virtual world, even though each person only had three minutes of experience time.


Whether someone was beautiful or ugly, tall or short, young or old… everything could be modified in the virtual world, even gender.


After the testing stage was over, Star Sky Technology CEO Chen Yushan walked on stage in professional attire.


She smiled toward the crazed reporters and their cameras, representing the corporate image of Star Sky Technology. She spent around five minutes explaining the “Phantom” virtual reality system.


What followed was the most exciting part of the entire product launch: the Qu0026A session.


In contrast to Lu Zhou, who always gave reporters a hard time, Chen Yushan was much better at handling interviews. No matter how tricky the questions were, she was able to answer them without losing composure.


Chinese reporters were mostly concerned about privacy and security policies, while western reporters were more concerned with the safety of the device, and when they could purchase it.


“h.e.l.lo, I’m a reporter from Yomiuri s.h.i.+mbun. Will the neural microcurrents from the technology cause damage to the brain?”


Chen Yushan: “Our technology is completely safe. It won’t be released to the public before going through various safety testings from state departments. Please rest a.s.sured, we would never release unsafe technologies to our users.”


“h.e.l.lo, I’m a reporter from the Wall Street Journal. Does the emergence of the Phantom system mean that Star Sky Technology is pivoting from patent management to consumer products?”


Chen Yushan: “That is not our plan. Our business model is still focused on patent licensing and cooperative production. Basically, we will find appropriate partners to help us produce the neural demodulator helmets. The production process is not difficult. We want outstanding companies to work with us.


“We will focus on maintaining the Phantom system and provide cloud computing support to the Phantom users.”


Wall Street Journal reporter: “In other words, consumers won’t be able to purchase this device for a long time.”


Chen Yushan: “That depends on the safety inspections from the state. The Chinese market can expect this product to be launched by the end of the year.”


When the people heard that they could purchase this technology by the end of the year, there was a huge commotion. Reporters from other countries looked jealous. They had just experienced this technology first hand, so they knew the effect this technology would have on society.


It wasn’t just games and movies, its applications were endless.


Questions came one after another.


“h.e.l.lo, BBC reporter here. What do you think about Professor Lu?”


This was a weird question since it had nothing to do with virtual reality. Chen Yushan contemplated for a second before answering.


“He is a great scholar and the brains of Star Sky Technology. Everyone in the company respects him.”


The BBC reporter continued, “What about his personal life? People say that—”


Chen Yushan smiled and said, “Please, relevant questions only.”



Across the Pacific Ocean, inside a mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles.


Elon Musk was sitting in his living room, watching the live broadcast of the product launch. He slammed his beer bottle on the coffee table.


“G.o.dd.a.m.n it!”


Even though the reporters’ questions were annoying, one thing for sure was that their faces never lied.


This meant that Star Sky Technology wasn’t fooling around at all.


It was obvious that the legendary neural interface virtual reality device wasn’t just a gaming device, it totally exceeded everyone’s expectations.


Otherwise, the product launch wouldn’t have been so chaotic.


As expected, his biggest worry came true.


Elon took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.


Finally, he made up his mind to call someone. However, he suddenly received a FaceTime call.


When Elon looked at the name on his screen, he had a weird look on his face. He put on a fake smile and picked up the video call.


“Hey, Lawrence, what a coincidence, I was just about to call you.”


Lawrence was in his mansion in Boston. He was in his study room, watching the broadcast on his tablet and calling on his phone.


“I knew you would call me, so I decided to call you instead. I like video calling instead of voice calling.”


Elon had an awkward look on his face.


He was about to say something when Lawrence suddenly smiled and spoke first.


“… Sure enough, Star Sky Technology didn’t disappoint me. Their virtual reality technology is astonis.h.i.+ng.”


Elon: “But I think there’s potential in our technology.”


“I’m not denying that.” Lawrence smiled and said, “But that’s not what I’m concerned about.”


When Elon heard this, he was speechless.


Lawrence looked at Elon through the screen and spoke.


“Cooperate with Star Sky Technology, this technology will enter the North American market sooner or later.”


After a moment of silence, Elon said, “… It’s not that easy for them. Even if we don’t do anything, other people will try to stop them. From what I know, Zuckerberg is also in this field, as well as Google and Amazon… These Silicon Valley giants won’t just let a Chinese company come in and take their slice of the pie.”


Lawrence’s intentions were clear as day.


Obviously, he had already lost hope on the neural lace project.


No matter how you look at it, the non-invasive virtual reality technology was far more attractive than drilling in nanotubes.


Elon agreed with that too, but he had lost so many times to Star Sky Technology, he was starting to lose this mind.


It was a miracle he hadn’t given up.


Lawrence smiled and said, “That’s what Intel and Qualcomm thought as well, but in the end, they still compromised, giving up their silicon chip ecosystem. Do you know what I mean?


“Whether it is Facebook, Google, or Amazon, if they don’t compromise, they will be eliminated. This can happen almost overnight.


“In fact, if you know anything about the market right now, you will know that the stock market is slowly moving in certain directions. The carbon-based chips have totally changed the ecosystem of the electronics industry, while the virtual reality technology will change what we know of the Internet.“These tech giants will be eliminated if they cannot keep up with the changes. New companies will emerge, this is almost inevitable.


“I don’t know much about the Internet, but this is what my consultant told me. The future of the network will change forever.


“I think he’s correct.”


Elon clenched his fist as Lawrence continued to speak.


“Regardless, I will get my hands on virtual reality technology. Whether it’s by cooperating with Star Sky Technology or by your neural lace project.


“The decision is yours.”


Lawrence smiled and looked at Elon through the screen as he said, “There’s only one way your project will stay alive.”
