Chapter 884: Camp
"Hiss!" As soon as he woke up, Shen Mo couldn't help but inhale the cool air and shiver.
Sun Xiang was nowhere to be seen, and the single sleeping bag that had been crowded and cramped last night was now extremely spacious and cool, so cold that he didn't want to stay longer.
"Wow!" opened the zipper probe and looked around, and the wet cold wind hit his face, making him shiver again.
Most of the energy released by an earthquake is turned into heat, and the air on the ground rises when heated, and then cools down and condenses at high altitudes, and precipitation can easily occur if there is abundant water vapor in the surrounding area. Therefore, heavy rain is often followed by major earthquakes, which adds a lot of trouble to disaster relief work, and this time is obviously no exception. Christchurch was not an earthquake zone, but it was also affected, and it rained a lot in the second half of the night, but fortunately it had stopped by dawn, otherwise it would have been even more wet and cold.
Holding the emergency kit distributed last night, Shen Mo, who was wearing a bathrobe, quickly got out of the tent, turned around and pulled the tent door casually, pulled his feet and ran towards the toilet.
New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, rich in scenic tourism resources, and the atmosphere of RV self-driving travel is very strong, and there are large and small RV rental companies and more than 2,000 RV camps in the country. These camps are scattered all over the city, and the ones far from the city are usually managed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, with beautiful mountains and rivers and gurgling streams, but the supporting facilities are somewhat simple, and the toilets are environmentally friendly dry toilets, and there are no special bathing equipment. Privately owned camps, on the other hand, are usually located on the periphery of the city, with convenient access to toilets, dumping stations, showers, running water, communal kitchens, and Wi-Fi networks. This is the case in this camp, where there is a public bath next to the toilet, so you can take a hot shower and wash away the smell of sweat from your body.
After taking a shower, he took out his disposable pants and put them on, then put on the new clothes in his bag, and then wrapped the yukata he had just taken off into a ball and stuffed it in, Shen Mo felt better all of a sudden.
Walking out of the bathroom, he finally had time to look at the camp, surrounded by service facilities and a large green parking lot in the middle, which looked like an ecological version of a high-speed server, although it did not sell instant noodles and mineral water, but sold more scarce and beautiful things. Nearby, the colorful tents are surrounded by mountains in the north and west, and the waves on the sea in the east, coupled with the moist and fresh air after the rain, a comfortable and pleasant mood arises spontaneously.
And if that's just the "scenic" camps around the city, what should those camps look like by the lake, by the river, at the foot of the mountain?
Retracting his gaze and reverie, Shen Mo walked in the direction of Sun Yu and the others. Everyone was wearing windproof jackets with bee logos, and it took a lot of trouble to find them in the crowd.
"You're really hard to find!" Reaching out to hug his girlfriend's thin waist, Shen Mo leaned into his girlfriend's ear and whispered: "Tiantian, why don't you run away without saying a word, you almost froze me to death?"
"Can I be blamed for this?" Sun Yan was unhappy and retorted: "I obviously screamed, but you slept like a dead pig, hummed a few times and then turned over and fell asleep." I can't just pull out the tent and pour ice water on your face, can I? ”
Shen Mo smiled embarrassedly, of course he knew that he was sleeping a little, so he had to change the topic with a smile, "What are you looking at here?"
"What else can you see?" Sun Yan pointed to the northeast, "Look at Kakula." ”
Shen Mo felt a little inexplicable, "More than a hundred kilometers, can this be seen?"
"Of course I can't see it," Sun Yan shook his phone, "but we have Twitter, Facebook, Weibo> "That's the same, is there anything new?" Shen Mo asked casually.
"Yes, there are a lot of them. However," Sun Yan tapped on his phone, "You must not have looked at your phone this morning, otherwise you should have known it a long time ago!"
Pulling out his mobile phone from his emergency backpack, Shen Mo saw the color of the breathing lamp, and knew that there must be a large backlog of unread messages in the notification center, which was related to the earthquake. Sweeping through the news at a glance and ten lines, he couldn't help but smile strangely when he understood something: "Sure enough, it's still the strongest shock in the Wei'Bo circle of friends!"
Although there is a lot of news, most of the content is related to this earthquake. There are not only the earthquake news pushed by the New Zealand official, but also the private messages sent by netizens and friends in China and the call of the circle.
The former reported on the damage caused by the earthquake, with two deaths, many injuries, and severe road damage in the affected area, and reminded not to drive to Kakula in the near future. However, the news from China is a different scene, everyone is amazed at the "lightness" of the trauma of the earthquake, some people are full of envy and at the same time borrow the external irony, some people say that the land is sparse and people are envious, and the two sides of the argument each pull a hand, and then Shen Mo, who is far away in New Zealand, is affected. He did not hide his whereabouts, and many people knew that he was in "Christchurch near the epicenter", so they tried to contact him, ask for peace and ask for the truth by the way.
"Uh, I forgot to post a safe state, it shouldn't be too late to make up for it now, right? Let's take a group photo, dear!" Shen Mo raised his mobile phone, and the other three gathered over one after another, skillfully posing and smiling.
Sending out the photos of the beauty retouching, he looked at the crowd again, "So what's going on today?"
"Of course there is!" Qi Linlin pulled Wu Panyi's corner, "We plan to go to the Paper Church to watch Mass in the evening." ”
Last night was Halloween, and today is the real AllSaints' Day. Catholic and Anglican churches hold a mass on the evening of 1 November to commemorate the faithful saints and martyrs, and to begin a series of tributes and prayers.
Visitors to the Mass are allowed to visit the Mass, as long as they dress appropriately and do not behave profanely, which is obviously more popular than the Xingyue Temple, which is strictly forbidden to enter from a distance. Now that the time has arrived, it is obviously a good choice to go to the distinctive paper church to experience British culture.
"Why did you poke it at night, and there was no arrangement during the day?"
"Why not?" Wu Pan pointed to his friend, "Mr. Shen, shouldn't you be too hi and forget about business, right?" Of course, the day's activities depend on the arrangement of other people's bees, I visited the bee branch yesterday, and today it is time to officially attend class. But now......"
Wu Pan patted his belly and said, "Of course, hurry up and eat breakfast, the idea is to fill your stomach!"
Shen Mo snorted, "Don't say it, I seem to have smelled the smell of red bean porridge and fritters!"
The operating company of this camp has a Chinese background, the public facilities are equipped with Chinese instructions as standard, and the kitchen equipment is also on par with China, so it is not unusual for a few typical Chinese food to appear. Of course, the camp also served simple Western food, such as beef wontons and beef burgers for last night's supper, but these four guys were busy making people in their sleeping bags at the time, and they didn't eat either meal, and they were hungry until now.
After breakfast, the bee company did not pull people back to the city, and directly started today's activities here.
Spread a moisture-proof mat on the grass where the moisture recedes, and everyone sat on the ground in several circles, turning the lawn into an open classroom.
Bee Soft is also a bloody investment, not only sent senior architecture engineers, but also invited Bee You Beesoft's PM (product manager), main art, main program, and even customer service supervisor to come over and show up to teach you experience. Each circle is a discussion group with a different topic, and everyone can participate according to their interests, which is quite like the ancient Greek Academy of Athens more than 2,000 years ago.
Of course, now is not the ancient times when communication basically relied on roaring, even if you are outdoors, mobile phones can also allow everyone to enjoy advanced conference technology, earbuds simultaneous interpretation, screen playback demonstration, the conditions are not bad at all.
Of course, the most important thing is the experience and wisdom outside the text, as the exchange gradually deepened, everyone's conversation became more and more intense, and they all took out their own experiences and doubts to share with each other, which also benefited Shen Mo a lot, and made him more confident.
Returning to his lodgings after a long night's absence, he summoned the Moko to the living room for a small meeting. In addition to the four founders, the painters Hu Lili and Zhao Xiaomei, who came to receive training together, and Chang Le, the main program, were also called over by him. Then Shen Mo took out his earthquake game idea and said that he would ask for everyone's opinion.
He mentioned this to Wu Pan and them last night, but it was temporarily interrupted because the rescue bus suddenly arrived. After thinking and searching for most of the day, Shen Mo's plan became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't wait to share it with others.
"The game will still be an AR interactive game on mobile platforms, where players use cameras to capture real-life people and buildings, and then release seismic waves to destroy them. This kind of gameplay is very similar to 'Super Transparent', which should attract the original old players, and may also form our own 'AR fantasy' brand characteristics in the future." ”
Wu Pan frowned, "I'm still the same question, how to get the technology? The gameplay you said seems to have no precedent, right? Just rely on our kittens three or two, can you play around?"
Hearing this, Shen Mo smiled indifferently, pointed at Lao Wu and said, "You must not have listened well to the afternoon class, otherwise you would never have asked such a question." ”
Seeing that the other party's face was not angry and wanted to argue, he continued: "Still not convinced, how much do you remember about Bee Cloud Open AI?"
"This, this," Wu Pan was speechless, at that time he was busy with Qi Linlin using his mobile phone to pass notes, what others said was completely left ear in and right ear out, and the impression was basically nothing.
Like other tech giants, Bee has also chosen to open its AI technology to the outside world, either directly using AI interfaces or training its own AI with the help of the platform. Shen Mo's idea is to use chickens and eggs to train his own building recognition AI, and he can achieve the effect he said by inputting the recognition data into the earthquake simulation engine.
"I don't have high requirements, as long as I can identify the general structure of people and buildings, I believe that the existing AI technology can do it. Moreover, "Shen Mo's face is colorful," I specially asked the experts of Bee Cloud, and the other party said that it was not difficult to achieve at all. ”
Wu Pan couldn't speak, so Qi Linlin stood up, "But none of us have studied architecture! If I'm not mistaken, training AI requires a lot of high-quality data, where do you get it from?"
Shen Mo raised two fingers, "Two ways, collect ready-made drawings, and release drawings tasks." Drawings of conventional buildings and well-known buildings are available on the Internet, and it is not difficult to find them by heart. If necessary, you can also seek professional help, there are many such people on the CTA. ”
"As for the characters' facial expressions, we can do it ourselves, as long as it is eye-catching and obvious, it doesn't matter if it is exaggerated and awkward," Shen Mo looked at Hu Lili who was sitting elegantly on his side, and Zhao Xiaomei, who was already grunting juice, "This is going to trouble my colleagues in the art team." Sister Hu and kitten, is it okay?"
The gurgling sound did not stop, Hu Lili changed her posture and said cautiously: "The plan you said should be a pity, but the amount of work is still not small, can they be busy?"
Unlike the "Super Perspective" that identifies manga characters and replaces them with similar characters, the new earthquake game mainly uses original image content, and the art team's task will be easy. However, the once idle program group is about to start getting busy, and it is not easy to combine them with AI recognition, vibration simulation, shattering special effects, and character movements.
"I'm definitely too busy," Chang Le didn't have a big package, "but what I'm most worried about is, is this kind of game fun or not? Does anyone play it? 'Super Transparent' gameplay is simple, but it has the imagination bonus of 'I'm going to take off her clothes', so I don't have to worry about no players buying it, at least East Asian players like it very much." But this earthquake game, if it is just to simply pull people and buildings in and shake it, the interactivity and gameplay don't seem to be enough?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent for a while.
Shen Mo only cared about continuing the "AR fantasy" gameplay before, and didn't think deeply about the gameplay, and was suddenly asked about this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I have an idea about interactivity," Zhao Xiaomei, who had not spoken, suddenly let go of the straw, looked up and said, "I don't know if you have played "I Want to Commit Suicide"?"
It's a text message-style text adventure game in which the protagonist accidentally receives a text message from someone intending to commit suicide and decides to save the other's life. What the player has to do is to reason about the knowledge and network tools, and find a way to make the other party dispel the will to die and give up suicide.
Because of its novel and unique gameplay, this mobile game was well received upon its launch, and its fame was quite loud, and many people present had heard of or even played it. Hearing Zhao Xiaomei mention this game, Shen Mo's eyes lit up, "Kitten, you mean to join the dialogue system to enrich the depth?"
The latter raised his hand and spoke: "That's right, but to correct it, I'm Zhao kitten, not a kitten!"
"Okay kitten," Shen Mo nodded yes.
"What's the matter? This way the game has to be overhauled, how can you add lines to it now?" Wu Pan finished breathing back and once again expressed his objections.
"It's okay, it's a big deal to make a few more demos and try them one by one!" Shen Mo looked at it, and his face was full of smiles when he spoke. "Map Wars" has become a finished project, and he would rather be slower for the new project.
