Chapter 1944 Off To Neverland, We Go!
Heh-heh-heh. Landon raised his hands like Moses commanding the waves. "Alright, please, take your seats… and good morning to you too."
Like fidgety ants, several people still couldn't relax in the presence of his Majesty. As said before, although his Majesty walked about a lot, for some people, the last time they ever came this close to seeing his Majesty, was 4 years ago. For others, today was the first time they were in the same room or air space with him. So how could they not be excited? (*>∆<*)
AHHHHHhh!!! They were screaming internally, despite how serious they tried to make their faces to be. Sweeping his eyes across the masses, a sly smile couldn't help escaping the corner of Landon's lips. "Everyone, I have gathered you all to partake in a revolutionary and extraordinary project that will shape and change the future world as we know it."
So powerful? Several people of various professions exchanged glances with a mix of curiosity, expectations, and excitement. Landon looked at their hooked expressions and grinned. "Tell me… does everyone know the story of Peter Pan?" "Yes! Yes, your majesty!" The masses answered. Who doesn't know the famous Baymardian story of the boy who never grows up? The boy who takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland and faces off with the mean old Captain Hook? It was an amazing beloved classic, but how does it tie up with today's project? (?~?)
Landon was getting more and more amused by their stumped expressions. "Tell me, everyone…would you love to fly just like Peter?" 'Yes, of course they would,' many inwardly voiced, although their mouths dropped and closed severally, too shocked to say a thing. Hold on, hold on… Was… Was this project all about a way to have everyone fly like PETER PAN? Could it be that his Majesty has found the hidden source behind the pixy dust? And wants them all here to assist in concluding his findings too? If so, it was no wonder there were several researchers among them all. (O0O)
(Q_Q) [Landon]
…
What a wild imagination. Landon watched several people's eye sockets pop out so much that he feared their eyeballs would really roll out if he didn't put an end to their wild thoughts soon. "Everyone… Flying that Peter Pan will just be the beginning, once we are done with today's project."
"Imagine, if you will, a world where you can experience anything your heart desires without ever leaving this room."
What? Was that even possible?
Several people murmured, finding it unbelieve. Landon continued– "A place where you can walk through enchanted forests, fly over mountains, or even visit distant lands… all while standing in one spot."
Boom! No, no, no! They couldn't hold it in anymore. "But how can that be, your Majesty? How can we fly, yet be standing on the same spot at the same time?" Jenny questioned. "Or could it be that we will be leaving our physical bodies behind when doing this?"
Jenny's questions caused quite a stir, as several people now leaned in, also thinking the same too. You say they will fly, but be on the same spot. You say they will run, but also be standing still at the same time.
Then wasn't Jenny's analogy the best way to describe it all? Why… such a thing was so shocking and completely unheard of that it made their muscles along their jaws seize. What was this concept? And just how exactly was it to be accomplished? Their hands began vibrating with uncontrollable tremors, their heads began spinning wildly, and their lips couldn't stop moving no matter how hard they tried. (Murmur… murmur… murmur) Overseer Tim and several others looked at the crowd, completely understanding their shock. The reaction this group had was even more relaxed than their when his Majesty spoke of the matter. Tim remembers jumping out of his seat and not knowing how he eventually got on his chair with his feet. Unbelievable! Unbelievable! What Landon told them was so unimaginable for little brains to comprehend. So it was understandable that those present today were so blown away. But Landon had no inkling of stopping anytime soon. "You there, what's your name?" "I?" Jenny was taken aback, "It's Jenny Dismee, your Majesty." "Jenny, you're brilliant. The way you word it, is more or less that way. And as for whether we can achieve such a thing, I want each and everyone of you to know that perhaps in the far, far, far distant future, man can accomplish it with pixie dust." Landon paused, allowing his words to further sink in. "However, for today in the present world, such a feat is only possible with the use of something I like to call – virtual reality!"
.
What was virtual reality? It was a concept where anyone, with the help of a special device, can go into a world of illusions that feel so real as though you are truly there.
Landon continued his detailed explanation, causing the room to erupt in even more gasps and whispers. A helmet that makes you see things that aren't there? Why did it sound like sorcery to them?
The more Landon explained, the more they came to understand how each profession in here plays a role in the grand scheme of things. Architects! It seems they must be the ones to create world's within the Virtual reality lands. The Virtual Reality technology wasn't one awarded to Landon by the system. Please! Landon had already been working on Virtual reality for quite some time now. Even laptop technology was researched by him after he got standard computer technology ages ago. Over the years, the system has granted him all sorts of technologies, allowing him to understand the many key principles behind them. So with all this knowledge in his brain that could fill out an entire national library, do you think developing Virtual reality would be so hard for him to accomplish?
In fact, he not only succeeded in developing Virtual reality all on his own, but also went extremely far and beyond Earth's technology. Landon's virtual reality was so life-like that when you touch sand in his world, you feel the granules, the temperature and everything else about it. It would be extremely hard to differentiate between reality and his Virtual reality. It wasn't so boldly pixelated as that back on Earth. If those on Earth experience Landon's VR, they would say it was Alien-tech. With that, it was time to start with VR building and production, all in anticipation for the grand launch next year.
