Chapter 870: A Clever Choice

On the wide TV wall, the baboons pouted their red buttocks and jumped away, ignoring the screams of their injured companions on the ground.

A group of long-haired men rushed forward with a cry of joy, wielding stones and sticks to mend and slice their prey.

At the same time as the tapping sounds, the screen turns to the patriarch's decision-making screen, which the makers are clearly using to avoid the bloody scene of splitting and eating.

On the rough animal skin, stone icons representing ethnic groups, objects, memoirs, impressions, and maps are lined up in turn, making them simple and rough and full of primitive atmosphere. Clicking on them will reveal the tribe's manpower, the amount of weapons and skins in stock, as well as event logs and hand-drawn maps and maps.

The map is also the core of the entire decision-making system, and players need to rely on it to record the world, decide what to do, and lead the entire race to discover the world little by little, spread out, and finally occupy the world.

Once the player has made adjustments and set up a decision, the game will enter the implementation phase, where the system will automatically trigger various events for the player to deal with, whether it is to find a group of animals, or to encounter a lake, or to get lost in a rainstorm and wind, all of which test the player's decision-making ability and luck.

There are many places in the game that borrows from the alternative strategy game "Plague Inc.", but the protagonist changes from a plague pathogen to a human ancestor, pathogen evolution becomes tool development, infection strategy becomes path selection, and the goal of clearing the game also changes from exterminating all mankind to spreading the whole world.

This goal is basically not easy to achieve in contemporary times, after all, "the death of the same sex, all the opposite sex in the world" only exists in the dreams of a few people, but in hundreds of thousands of years, "Y chromosome Adam" and "mitochondrial Eve" have done this, although the process is full of accidents and luck, but the fact of genetic testing still irrefutably proves the feasibility.

The challenge is to recreate this miracle in the shortest possible time in a simple simulated game environment.

It's as simple as choosing a direction to keep moving forward and at the same time keep solving all kinds of unexpected events.

But it is difficult to do in practice, because in ancient times, there was no compass, latitude and longitude coordinates and global positioning, players can only determine the general direction according to the sunrise and moonset, and then use footsteps to measure and record the world under their feet.

At this time, words had not yet been invented, and people could only convey information through simple words and pictures, so the game was full of various skeuomorphic icons, full of primitive atmosphere. Fortunately, the oral histories in the account are standard engines that synthesize Mandarin, which can somewhat start to work.

Of course, the most important and obvious role is illusory luck, otherwise you will encounter bad luck one after another like this group of people on the screen. They first came across a river and killed three of their people who were fetching water, because there was a colony of crocodiles in the river. It didn't take long for the tribe to encounter lions and saber-toothed tigers one after another, and although everyone resisted, they were still half killed by these top meat eaters with sharp teeth and claws. In the end, all of them died due to lack of food, and the group was wiped out.

If the player plays the role of Patriarch dies, someone will soon take over the title of Patriarch and continue to lead the Clan, but if all the Clan dies, the game will end in defeat.

Seeing that the game returned to the main interface, Atletico Madrid was not annoyed, but nodded and praised: "It's done well, it's a shrewd approach." ”

"That's it, just a few words?" On the sofa next to him, Zhang Xuyao expressed his dissatisfaction, this is an excellent work jointly recommended by himself and his father, how can he easily pass it away with a mere sentence, "Do you not recognize the African grandmother and think this game is nonsense? Or do you mean that you can't afford to lose and feel that you have lost face? This game is indeed a bit face-seeing, and the difficulty is a bit high, you can suggest ......"

"It's okay, don't mess around!" Atletico interrupted her, "Of course I know the African origin theory, and I think it's the most plausible explanation at the moment, although it seems a little strange, there are too many coincidences to accept." ”

Then, his voice changed, and he looked at Zhang Xuyao with a smile: "Since you think my reaction is inappropriate, what do you say is reasonable?"

"If you want me to say," Teacher Xiao Zhang looked at him and said, "No matter what, you have to praise it, bid for it with a huge amount of money, and then release it globally!"

"Hey, you're thinking long," the smile on someone's face grew even thicker.

"You!" Zhang Xuyao naturally heard the ridicule in the other party's words, and was about to blow up and beat him, but Tang Jiayi, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and grabbed him. Even the four snacks pounced on her and launched a leg-hugging attack, and the heart of protecting her father was undoubtedly revealed.

Looking down at Ma Xiaohuan and them, Teacher Xiao Zhang asked puzzledly: "In vain, I usually love you so much, and every time I come, I bring gifts and food, how many of you actually repay me like this?"

The little ones couldn't really explain why, and the big eyes were still staring, so Atletico laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? They have many aunts, but my father is the only one!"

Zhang Xu Yao immediately quit, "If you are a family, there will be more people and fewer people!"

"Okay, okay, let's say a few words," Tang Jiayi pulled Zhang Xu Yao, turned to Ma Jing and said: "Since the children love you and protect you so much, you can stay at home and take care of the children today! ”

Then without waiting for her husband to speak, she pulled the Zhang family's sister and left.

Now it was Atletico's turn to stare at their children and not know what to say. He was going to watch the game today, the Bees reached the final for the first time in history, and he, the boss, should be there to cheer and bring the rhythm, but now he can't go.

Although there are still a few hours before the start of the competition, with his understanding of his wife, Tang Jiayi will stay in the clothing studio all day and will not return home until the evening. Although it is possible to entrust the child to a nanny or simply take it to the stadium to feel the atmosphere, it is not a good idea that these two ideas have just emerged and are extinguished by Atletico themselves. Switch back to the desktop to open the toy interface, smile at the children and say, "Wow, Mommy is not home today, what are you four going to play?"

These toys come from many sources and come in a wide variety of styles, but fortunately, there is a specially written inventory management system, and they are also well organized. The little ones have also become accustomed to the little game of looking at the picture and flopping the cards, and when they heard their father's words, they rushed to the TV wall and slapped their favorite toys hard. Without exception, they all chose animal toys, and they were all giraffes, lions, baboons, and other African animals, obviously influenced by the game just now.

It didn't take long for a group of African animals to enter the room in a neat queue, and then they were immediately thrown to the ground, and their small fists smashed as if they didn't want money, probably imitating the hunting behavior they had just seen.

Fortunately, there are soft stalls on the ground, and the artificial fur on the robot pet is thick enough, so the imitation game did not cause any bad results. It also made Atletico Madrid have time to sigh: "Violent games really teach bad children." ”

"The rainy season is over, and it's time for the animals to mate, in the endless African savannah...... With Mr. Zhao's rich magnetic voice, a group of zebras appeared on the screen, which quickly aroused the little ones' ideas. Ma Xiaohe squatted down and tried to lift the zebra toy in front of him, but he threw himself on the buttocks, and he was not annoyed, he sat on the stall and slapped the zebra's back, shouting excitedly.

For three-year-olds, it can't be a complete book that includes predation and killing, but the rest of the content is still exciting enough to successfully arouse the children's interest, and also give their dad enough time to lazy paddling and continue to play "Migration Road".

After all, the game brought by Zhang Xuyao is only a student work, and the shadows of other games can be seen in many places, and the whole is a little rusty and rough, but the imagination contained in it is very rare, and Rao is an old driver in the game circle like Atletico Madrid was also aroused to explore and wanted to see the final ending.

With his eyes open, Atletico copied the game to e7u and began to parse it, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

After all, this game is only a student's work, the code is only simply encrypted, and the algorithm used is still the default algorithm of the Bee Bean Workshop. If it was a more complex advanced algorithm, it would take time and luck even if he wanted to crack it, but the default algorithm didn't need it at all, and it was easy to find the source code.

By reading the code, he quickly understood the intent of the development team and why he had failed so easily.

This game tells the story of Homo sapiens who came out of Africa to the world, but this great migration that created the territory of modern humanity took tens of thousands of years.

In fact, the original ancient humans did not have much "the world is so big, I want to see it", and their migration phenomenon was completely a series of spontaneous macroscopic phenomena. Just like bacteria dividing and multiplying on the culture medium, macroscopically forming a spreading and expanding plaque, it is completely spontaneous under the law of survival, just born and born to have tens of millions of descendants, and walked to Tierra del Fuego (located in the southernmost part of South America).

As a simulation of this historical fact, the game is made into a turn-and-real-time strategy chess type, with round and movement speed limits for large map movements, which can only sweep away the fog and explore the world little by little, while the situations encountered and response behaviors in the execution phase are real-time. Although those accidents are claimed to be automatic and random, they have a total limit, which brings a "long life" problem, if the player character lives long enough and has enough experience, random accidents will become inevitable repeats, and the freshness and excitement will naturally be greatly reduced.

With the development ability of these high school students, it is obvious that they can't fill in enough accidents, so they have to set a lower and lower luck value to kill the vast majority of player characters on the road. Although the development team has produced content for East Asia, Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and North and South America, under the current setting, it is basically difficult for players to go to East Asia, let alone Australia and the Americas.

Interestingly, the development team dug pits and buried people, but also provided a way to save themselves, that is, to practice hard to become a "grassland military god", strive to build a professional army in the Neolithic Age, and then push it out all the way. Those ferocious beasts and evil birds can pose a great threat to primitive people, but in the face of professional armies, it is not worth mentioning to send meat to the door. The only problem is that it takes time, the stone tool polishing efficiency is very low, and the population reproduction is also in ten years, which requires enough patience and perseverance.

This is also the other party that Atletico Madrid admires the development team the most, obviously because the technology is not good, the probability is made, the content is too little to mention the difficulty, but they were torn into "luck is also strength, will is also combat effectiveness", and it is also impossible to slip away, and I have to write a word.

Although the game was cracked, Atletico Madrid did not use the modification method, but honestly wrote a smart applet instead of hanging up, and then threw it into the accelerator along with the game. After several iterations and modifications, the satisfactory stone tool army was finally released, and the horse racing battle was rampant all over the world, and finally saw the Yangtze River tens of thousands of years ago.

Originally, he also wanted to go all the way north, across the Bering Strait ice bridge, to see the buffalo in the Americas, and see if the art materials there were also from "This Man is from Earth" and "Animal World". However, the sudden pop-up message prompt interrupted his interest, so he had to log out and pick up his phone.

After making the call, Atletico Madrid's mind also faded, after all, "it is cool to be open, invincible and really lonely".

However, what has disappeared is only the impulse of the game, and the interest in co-opting the game is still strong, although it can't be done as Zhang Xuyao said, "huge bidding, global distribution", but it can still be done at a reasonable price, and then distributed to most countries.

The game now has a complete mind and skeleton, and all that's left is to fill in the flesh and beautify the appearance, which is what bee games do best. And the scientific core under the humanistic appearance of this work is in line with the spirit of bees, and it's a pity not to hand it over to bees.

The only regret is that the education department has canceled all kinds of competition bonus points, otherwise he must have found a way to make this game work to participate in the science and technology competition for middle school students. Although it is strange to put computer games and "bus energy recovery system", "formaldehyde migration research on melamine tableware" and "starch capacitor" together, it is not impossible, and it is really not possible to change it to "ancient human migration simulation system at the end of the Quaternary glaciation" software.

It's just that he can only think about it, the premise of the policy has changed, and it is basically impossible to become famous by relying on "winning essays and guaranteeing prestigious schools" like the "New Concept Essay Competition" back then. What Atletico can do is to use resources to help promote it, so that this group of students can become famous in college circles, so that if they go through independent enrollment next year, they will have some advantages.

Of course, the premise is that you have to meet me, both out of interest and for the sake of safety, to listen to the thoughts of these children, but also to see their personality and attitude, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.
