Chapter 240: It Looks Beautiful
After the update, "Daming" has turned on full support for the Dreamwalker virtual device, and players can use their own bodies to walk and fight in this side of the world, which looks beautiful.
But it's just beautiful.
It's like the setting described in some online novels that "scan the player's body when creating a character and generate character attributes according to physical fitness", which looks cool and is very beneficial to the protagonist, but in fact, this setting is only beneficial to the protagonist who was born as a special forces and a retired killer.
The Dream Walker that adopts the somatosensory operation mode has high requirements for the player's physical fitness, at least at this stage.
At first glance, the top 10 winners of the September Bee Race on the big screen may seem like nothing wrong at first glance, but when you put their photos and WCG star esports players together, you can see a clear difference. Players who are facing the sky will be stronger and look more imposing.
Unlike WCG players who only need to move their fingers to press the keyboard and click the mouse, it is not possible to play in the sky without a good body, and without strong waist, legs, chest and arm muscles.
As an ordinary college student, the two-year college career, four hours of physical education classes a week and morning exercises did not effectively strengthen Liu Shumeng's body, on the contrary, when he entered the end of puberty after the age of 20, the body turned to maturity, and the changes in hormone levels made it easier for fat to accumulate. This is also the reason why Liu Shumeng fights at home every day, but his points grow slowly, and his rank is stuck in silver.
Beer belly actually has little to do with beer, but refers to the fact that obese men look a little like a beer bottle from the side. With a bulging belly, thick elephant legs, and a small head, the side looks like a "B" shape.
This kind of body type is actually very common in middle-aged and elderly men who live affluently, and there is an old saying: "The prime minister can hold the boat in his belly", because most prime ministers are 40 or 50 years old, and as a high-ranking civil official, they will sit in a sedan chair and sit in a chair, and it is easy to accumulate a big belly.
However, this fat body type is not called "Prime Minister's Belly", but "Luohan Belly", but few people call it that way now, and it is really a beer belly that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, the main consumer group of beer is middle-aged men, and the people who frequently consume beer belly are also middle-aged men, so the irrelevance has become relevant.
This semester, when I moved to the main department, I was finally able to get in touch with the seniors and graduate students of my major, and Atletico found that the proportion of beer belly among them increased with the grade, which was not unrelated to the fact that I often sat and typed on the computer.
"But, ......" turned his gaze to the omnidirectional treadmill placed against the wall, and saw his roommates who had not been seen for more than a month at the beginning of school, the boss Liu Haiyang's body shape has not changed much, Li Jiaming and Liu Shumeng have both lost weight significantly, although the weight estimation through visual body type is not as accurate as the hand handle, but Atletico Madrid can still conclude that these two people have lost at least three pounds in a month.
Aerobic exercise alone to lose weight is hard work for most people, but increasing the amount of exercise in the process of playing games is much more acceptable to players.
It is equivalent to saying that the virtual reality somatosensory operation mode of Dreamwalker has high requirements for the player's physical fitness, and can also effectively play the purpose of physical exercise. In fact, the reason why the omnidirectional treadmill, an important supporting equipment of Dreamwalker, also has such a name is to apply for relevant licenses in the name of sports equipment and treadmills.
For example, the omnidirectional treadmill in the Dream Walker Home Edition set in their dormitory now, although the appearance is not much different from when it was unveiled at CJ a few months ago, it is still a concave surface with a ring fixed to prevent falling, but the materials and structure have changed, and the cost has been greatly reduced.
Except for the special segmented friction distribution system, that is, the concave surface with smooth edges and rough bottom, the other parts have not changed a lot. The demonstration version of the aluminum alloy plastic steel structure wrapped in rubber has become the current ABS engineering plastic, and some positions are wrapped with sponge buffers, the built-in high-performance computer at the bottom, and the light communication module on the waist protection ring have also been canceled.
That is to say, the home version of the omnidirectional treadmill has changed from a VR virtual reality device that can run independently to a vassal and peripheral of the PC, which is a necessary choice in order to reduce costs and expand production capacity.
In fact, with the Dream Walker Blindfold, it is still very pleasant to run on an omnidirectional treadmill, provided that you need to get used to it. The depression at the bottom of the omnidirectional treadmill has obvious requirements for the player's stride, and unless you find a bee that is tailored to your stride length, cadence, height and weight, you will have to try to get used to its standard stride length.
This makes the dreamwalker a bit picky, the eyesight is too poor, the height is too short or too tall, and the weight is too large and the limbs are weak.
All Bee can do is launch several different models of accessories, large, medium and small omnidirectional treadmills correspond to different heights and leg lengths, and Dreamwalker Eye Patches have also launched a series of interchangeable lenses according to the player's interpupillary distance, vision, etc., by adjusting the eyepiece position and power, to expand the applicable population as much as possible.
As a fast-paced network company, Bee's MONOCULUS has launched a small number of family versions of Dreamwalkers on the Bee official mall since the National Day for users to snap up, and this time it is actually the second generation of Dreamwalkers. The new version further reduces the weight, strengthens the light communication module used exclusively by Bee, and adds the light source selection function, which can automatically select the anti-interference scheme according to the different indoor lighting sources, as long as the receiver is not illuminated by strong light, the communication can be guaranteed.
At this time, the Bee VLC light communication module has the confidence to fight against WAPI and even WiFi. During the Olympic Games in August, WAPI claimed to serve the Olympics with "zero failures and zero complaints", but for those who know the inside story, the two zeros may have to be preceded by a "zero use" to be in line with the facts.
According to the official statement of the WAPI Alliance, from the Olympic Games in August to the Paralympics in September, the WAPI wireless network composed of 1032 AP wireless hotspots covered the Olympic venues, withstanding 2800 simultaneous online users and running continuously for 1440 hours (60 days), providing stable, safe and efficient wireless access services for journalists from all over the world.
But the Olympic venues, including the 91,000-seat Bird's Nest Stadium, had only 2,800 users at its peak, which is telling. Since it became a national standard in 03 and a mandatory standard in 06, the wireless network of the Olympic venues is still a large-scale commercial network in the first chapter of WAPI. Next, the first long-term demonstration network covering multiple teaching buildings was built in BUPT.
The reason why WAPI always only hears the sound of the stairs and does not see people coming down is because the mentality of technology promoters and users has seriously deviated. For users, laptops and smartphones have the need to access the Internet, and wireless local area network (WLAN) first requires convenience, high speed, and low cost, followed by information security, low radiation, and low power consumption. And WAPI has been emphasizing "safety" since the first day of release, using "safety" to belittle WiFi, and getting political axe support and compulsory promotion in the name of "safety", just like stopping a passer-by eating hamburger/meat bun on the road, telling him: "The food you are holding in your hand is rich in fat and high in calories, and eating too much can easily lead to obesity, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis and other problems are authentic junk food, you still throw it into the trash and eat our healthy food walnut crisp!"
There is no doubt that such a pitch will only be evaluated by white-eyed and neurotic.
Eating green food every day is of course healthy and beautiful, but it is unrealistic, just like cotton clothes are healthy and comfortable, but most of the time you can only use a lot of cotton fibers on underwear, and you have to use various chemical fibers in your outerwear.
As the same as the underlying technology of WiFi, and even "as long as Intel releases a new driver for Centrino network card, Centrino notebooks can recognize and use" WAPI, in order to "security" must pay a new cost, either a new hardware encryption chip, or a complex encryption algorithm.
The former brings an increase in hardware costs, the latter brings a decrease in equipment efficiency, and WAPI uses a software encryption to change the algorithm, which brings a large performance loss, and then puts forward higher requirements for hardware configuration, which is the fundamental reason why WAPI has the first demonstration network two years after becoming a mandatory standard.
In fact, in Atletico Madrid's view, the WAPI promoter's thinking has always been problematic, never put the needs of consumers in mind, obviously there is no WAPI equipment on the market to sell, but roared to promote the ban on WiFi, resulting in licensed mobile phones are castrated WiFi modules (author's note: my mobile phone does not have it, so it is very resentful), but can not immediately fill the position, drive away Zhang Butcher, kill pigs by themselves is not up to the mark, fooling customers to eat hairy pigs is more nutritious and healthier.
Originally, Atletico also wanted to help WAPI rewrite the algorithm and design an algorithm with a small resource occupation, but the result was a shameful failure.
Although the alien technology e7u is in his body, he has not been given a specific alien technology, and as the only user of the e7u, he has no understanding of what technology is used in this seed device itself, and what the principle of these technologies is. Therefore, he has no alien high-tech encryption algorithm to use, and of course, even if he does, he can't use it, and the alien encryption algorithm cannot match the current binary electronic computer.
The only way to develop a new cryptographic algorithm is to plunge headlong into the ocean of mathematics with a frown and look for mathematical problems. The underlying principle of every encryption algorithm used in the computer world today is a mathematical problem, which needs to be complex enough but have a definite solution. It is complex enough to avoid brute force cracking, and with a definite solution, the encrypted information can be restored normally, otherwise it will become information pollution rather than encryption and anti-theft.
Mathematics has always been Atletico's shortcoming, although after E7U loaded a large number of scientific computing software, the general mathematical application problems have been difficult for him, and he can even visually evaluate other people's speed, weight, height, and size, but this is only with the help of ready-made algorithms in related software. In the face of groundbreaking mathematical research, he would fall from an omnipotent wise man to an ordinary mortal, not yet in the mathematics department.
Mathematics, as the queen of natural science, is born to be our arena, and Atletico Madrid, an open-minded "genius", rashly breaks into the arena of "real genius", of course, to be blind.
After realizing this, Atletico completely abandoned WAPI and tried VLC lighting communication instead.
The shortcomings of light communication cannot penetrate the wall, which not only limits its scope of use, but also solves the safety problem for it. In fact, the encryption algorithm used by the sunflower mobile phone and the optical communication module carried on the dreamwalker is not as good as the "highly criticized" wifi, theoretically, the computer above cpu1GHz only needs to brute-force crack for one minute to be able to crack the wireless password of the light cat.
However, this is difficult to achieve, and the problem of rubbing the network that plagues wifi can be easily solved by users who only need to close the curtains or paste a translucent glass film. Of course, in most cases, the signal coverage of the light modem is only a few meters, and the signal will be further attenuated after passing through the common transparent flat glass, so there will basically be no netting situation, unless the other party enters the room.
Of course, the coverage is too small, which also makes the commercial value of the light cat not too high, of course, the commercial value and the commercial value are not the same, it is the commercial value that can be sold, and the commercial value is the commercial value that the enterprise is willing to purchase. WAPI, which focuses on security, has been working hard to hold the legs of great operators, and package WAPI as the best choice for commercial wireless LANs outside of GSM, because the security and anti-friction network can accurately bill. The three major telecom operators after the restructuring have recently said that they will examine the WAPI support function when purchasing wireless LAN equipment in 2009.
But that's it, although the prototype of the GSM+WAPI dual-mode mobile phone has been developed for several months, the Ministry of Information Industry still prohibits mobile phone manufacturers from installing WiFi and WAPI chips to mobile phones.
In contrast, the bee lantern cat, which is not so ambitious, is more accessible to the people. In particular, the portable light cat is very popular with consumers, and one hundred and one pairs of small light cats have now sold more than 100,000 sets through various channels, and the praise has been rave reviews. Although there are still effective distances of less than 3 meters, it will be interfered by strong light, and it is afraid of blocking the channel of shading, but the fast and convenient networking function, cheap price, and 10 trillion high-speed broadband are enough to cover these shortcomings.
"Didi!"
The faint ticking sound of headphones on the table interrupted Atletico's daze, and he glanced up at the screen to see a man's head popping up on the bee tray icon in the lower right corner.
Atletico recognized the photo as a vice president of the Bee Group who was on a business trip to the United States, and clicked on the icon to open the message, which turned out to be a report of safety.
Last month, Qin Fengming, vice president of the group, took several sets of the latest version of Dreamwalker to the United States across the Pacific Ocean, intending to talk about cooperation.
Seeing the group on the screen "Just got off the plane, arrived safely at Ludao Airport!" and another private chat "Fortunately not dishonored", a smile climbed onto the corner of Atletico's mouth.
replied, "Thank you Mr. Qin, have a good rest." See you tomorrow!" closed the chat window.
Qin Fengming, 37 years old, has many years of experience in foreign companies, has a deep understanding of the American video game and film and television entertainment industry, he was recommended to the board of directors of Bee Group by a headhunter, and is now the vice president of Bee Collective, and also serves as the general manager of MAGIC EYE Virtual Reality Company, fully responsible for the cooperation between Dream Walker and other entertainment industries.
He went to the United States this time for two purposes, one was to negotiate cooperation with Lucas Star Art, the father of Star Wars, under the name of George Lucas.
Ten thousand years of cold rice king, the sequel to "Star Wars" filmed one after another Lucasfilm, established LucasArts (Lucasarts, abbreviated as LA), the production of Star Wars-themed video games, and last month they released the latest work in the series: The Force Unleashed, on the three major console platforms and PSP, NDS handhelds, and the PC ported version is still in production.
This is a multi-platform ACT action game, the main combat mode of the protagonist is to wield the lightsaber of Star Wars characteristics, adhering to the setting in the Star Wars movie, the protagonist's combat action is not as gorgeous and intense as the ninja dragon Devil May Cry, but it is more realistic and believable for Star Wars fans.
And this is also the reason why the bees came to the door to ask for cooperation, the Force release's realism of lightsaber fighting can be easily connected to the Dream Walker's somatosensory operation mode, otherwise if you jump around like Devil May Cry, who will be responsible for falling?
Qin Fengming went to them to convince LA to add code for Dream Walker's ∞ mode support in the PC version of Force Unleashed, so that players could wield lightsabers to fight in reality.
He was very well prepared, and he brought a Dream Walker patch that had been modified specifically for the game in advance, specially modified according to the X-Wave x360 version of the game client, and thoughtfully added a move action judgment mapping module, as long as the other party took it and made some fine-tuning for Windows and Mac platforms, it could run smoothly.
And Bee came to LA, not only because of the hot sales of Force Release in the nearly 20 days after its release, and it is expected to become the best-selling video game in the series, but also because of another person.
A person who exists and does not exist.
Leonard Rich Hofstad, an experimental physicist with IQ 173, is an avid fan of the Star Trek TV series and the Star Wars series.
He is the protagonist of the famous TV series "The Big Bang Theory", which was broadcast in September 07, a sitcom that tells the daily life of four scientist otakus, and makes fun of scientists with super high IQ and EQ who need to be recharged, and the plot is unique and dramatic, not only in the United States has achieved extremely high ratings, but the TV station has decisively renewed the second season and is now being broadcast weekly, and in China, there are also a large number of netizens who squat on the American drama forum every time the calendar overturns on Tuesday to find the latest episode of BT seeds.
It can be said that Qin Fengming went to find LA, in fact, he was playing a curve to save the country, looking for them, hoping to let the Force release to support Dreamwalker, so that Leonard would have the opportunity to wear Dreamwalker and wield a lightsaber, and the purpose of letting Leonard wear Dreamwalker was to let millions of American drama fans see this scene.
