I Found A Planet - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Chen Jin truly could not defend against Mom's techniques . Her acting was too professional and too real . Chen Jin, who was initially armed with a stubborn and tough attitude, was instantly cowed . Tears are a woman's greatest weapon . Moreover it was his own mother; how could he not back down when faced with her tears?

"Well, a blind date it is . I shall fight fire with fire . Shedding my bachelor status; Hmph! It's impossible, nobody can take me down!" Having prepared his countermeasures, Chen Jin's heart was filled with confidence .

. . .

On the planet of Haierfa, at the camping ground in the huge crater, some significant changes had taken place . The robots, including Da Li, had brought back some items from the City of Tereese . They were not precious metals and jewelry, but some high tech products, amongst which were some laser TV boxes about the size of a Rubik's Cube . The laser TV box was kind of similar to film projection in traditional cinema, where it projected an HD quality video via a beam of light . However, the videos projected were mostly of 8K UHD quality; the images were ultra clear .

In addition, after putting on the specialized glasses to view the 3D videos under a specific format, it would feel as if a movie was being played out right in front of your eyes . One would feel an even higher level of immersion .

"I think a similar kind of laser TV has already been launched on Earth . Doesn't Da Mi company sell a type of laser TV for only $9,999? It's just that it has larger make and the video quality is only 1080P . Moreover, it can't play 3D videos, so the viewing experience is not too different from watching normal TV . The laser TV that I have right now is roughly about one-fifth of the size of the Da Mi laser TV, and can be enlarged to half its size . As for its other features, there was no need to do significant modifications on them . It could be manufactured on Earth straight away and sell like hot cakes for sure!"

Without a doubt, it would be wildly popular . The laser TV had a small make and was light and portable . The projected video could be freely expanded or shrunk on a 30 to 150 inch surface . With a relatively high video quality of 8K and the capacity to play videos in 3D format, it was very clear that the laser TV was the trend of future development . If Chen Jin entered this industry, his future wealth prospect would certainly be rosy . Furthermore, he would not have to worry that it would lead to too great of a problem .

This was because the laser TV was a product that was already available on Earth . The model that he would bring back was not based on wholly new technology from a futuristic era . It was only a product made with a slightly more advanced technology, so its impact on Earth would not be too revolutionary .

One must be aware: to be half a step ahead of the crowd makes you a genius but to be a full step ahead makes you a lunatic . Moreover, you would be targeted as a cash cow . The laser TV that Chen Jin held was a product that was half a step ahead and could definitely be introduced into Earth . Similar to the robot vacuum sweeper, the laser TV could be included in Chen Jin's business development plan .

However, he did not yet possess the technology needed to manufacture these laser TVs . Thus, he could only let the idea ferment in his mind . "I must increase the strength and magnitude of my exploration on Haierfa in order to find a way to get my hands on this technology .

Besides this, Chen Jin also set his vision on other high tech products, such as the home computer . The home computers on Haierfa were not too different than the ones on Earth . It had a squarish CPU, an ultra thin curved screen and even its mouse and keyboard were very similar to those on Earth . "One can infer that even after a 100 years, there would not be too big a change to home computers . The outer appearance would not be greatly modified . "

However, the home computers on Haierfa could not be brought back to Earth . It was because the CPU inside the all solid motherboard was made of graphene, which is an entirely new nanomaterial . With a well crafted technological process of 3 nanometers, the output of work could reach 100 GHZ while significantly reducing power consumption . Its overall capability was more than 20 times greater than that of the most advanced CPU on Earth . It was technology that was definitely ahead by more than a step .

He could not imagine the uproar that it could cause if he brought it back to Earth now . As someone who liked to keep a low profile, Chen Jin was obviously unequipped to deal with such a complex scenario . He had an even greater desire to not attract any attention . The home computer category had to be put on hold temporarily .

However, there was also a collapsible mobile phone that could project images and videos . The phone had a 4 . 8 inch collapsible screen that could be expanded from its surface . It also had touch screen functions . Its screen projection function, however, needed to be used with specialized smart glasses in order to see the content of the projection . Hence, it was excellent for protecting one's privacy .

The phone worked primarily via motion sensing . With only the size of a wrist watch, it could project a virtual screen of 5 to 15 inches . Chances of a fault happening in its operations were extremely low as it was installed with a high-precision microwave radar . Furthermore, it came equipped with a smart language assistant that could accurately recognize and distinguish more than 99 . 9% of sentences' meanings . Its intelligence was equivalent to that of an 18 year old human .

Hence, the screen projector mobile phone was yet again another high tech product that was ahead of Earth by more than a step . "I'll have to wait at least 10 years before there'll be similar screen projector phones available on Earth . It's not yet time for it to face the world . "

There were also handheld game units and learning devices . Both of these had an appearance that seemed to be composed by flat boxes . The game unit came with 2 stand-alone bluetooth joysticks while the learning device came with a touch pen . Both had screen projector functions . They could project within a range of 10 to 30 inches .

However, there was a particular handheld game unit with high end configurations that used a laser projection technology similar to the laser TV . Its projected screen had a maximum size of 120 inches . It felt so awesome playing games on this screen size!

Grasping the high-end handheld game unit under Da Li's guidance and interpretation, he played a game called "Drive Angry . " The beautiful scenery in the game was reminiscent of those in movies, combined with advanced ray tracing techniques and a large projected screen . Playing an intense and explosive yet smooth chase scene made Chen Jin shout with joy . "This is definitely how games should be like in the future!"

Letting go of the joysticks, Chen Jin sighed emotionally . "Under normal rates of progression, how long must I wait before there will be games like this available on Earth?"

Standing at his side, Da Li heard his muttering and interrupted his thoughts . "My Master, this handheld game unit that you are playing now is actually a technological product on Haierfa that has been culled as being too outdated . The technology behind this game had stopped progressing about eight or nine years ago and it had not been updated or renewed for more than 10 years . The games loaded into it are antiquated and not popular amongst the humans, only teenagers and children play it occasionally to pass time . The grown-ups don't play these games . "

What?

Da Li's words caused Chen Jin to go red with embarrassment . He gave an awkward cough .

An outdated product . Technology that had been stuck for more than 10 years . The games that were loaded into it were antiquated . The grown-ups didn't play them… .

These words made Chen Jin felt like he wanted to kick the game unit and order Da Li to tear them apart, reducing them to scraps of junk . Damn it, it was too embarrassing . He was praising it to high heavens not one moment ago, and Da Li had immediately degraded it to the level of trash .

"Da Li, then why don't you tell me? What is considered a 'good game'? A 'game for the grown-ups'?" Gritting his teeth, Chen Jin bit out each word slowly .

If Da Li was unable to give a satisfactory answer, Chen Jin, in his current unhappy and resentful mood, would have to punish it harshly to put it back in its place .

"It's this, my Master . " Da Li walked to the pile of high-tech items . Bending at his waist and searching through the assortment of haphazardly stacked electronics, it fished out a worn-out, mottled headgear that had several delicate wires attached to its surface . It placed the headgear in front of Chen Jin .

"This is a simulated reality headset, Master . It was once bought by over 70% of the humans on this planet . They lived, worked, gamed, and enjoyed their artificial lives in the world of simulated reality . A great amount of their time was spent here daily . Compared to this headset, those outdated handheld game units can only be considered as children's puzzle games . "

A simulated reality headset?

Fixing his gaze on it, Chen Jin felt a tremor in his heart .

Haierfa actually has such an awesome item as a simulated reality headset?
