Chapter 742: Lifetime
While the two were talking, the opening CG on the screen continued to play.
In the abruptly elevated frame, the space station, which rotates like a spinning top, and the small spaceships arranged neatly along the asymptote line form a geometrically beautiful composition. With the blue water balloon as the background and the endless starry sky, Lin Chen's fingers moved, and he subconsciously looked down to find the gamepad, wanting to take a screenshot and save it as a wallpaper.
When he held the plastic bean sprouts in his hand, Lin Jiwu's voice sounded slowly: "This scene is already in the official wallpaper collection, the picture quality is superb, you can see it on our scarf and official website after a while." β
Lin Chen, who reacted, opened his mouth to respond: "Oh, but then aren't you afraid of being scolded for being overly beautified?"
"It's just that you can't eat grapes and think the grapes are sour, so don't pay attention to it. β
Because of the abuse of BPP screenshots as a display in cross-platform games, many mobile game players have been harmed, resulting in the label of "photo deception maker" of Bee OS.
By the time Bee launched the PT console, console players joined the army of victims. Just look at the screenshots,The picture quality of the game on PT is not inferior to other platforms at all,But the actual machine effect is slightly worse,Let this console have the nickname of "Trick Ta game machine" in the mouth of Bee Blackγ
This is actually a smear from other manufacturers,Bee's post-processing technology is not complicated,The idea of sacrificing processor performance to improve the quality of screenshots is easy to understand,But their efforts to imitate and study similar functions are not smooth,"Code power"Insufficient program efficiency leads to low program efficiency and easy to freeze and affect user experienceγ Their own similar products are difficult to deliver, so naturally they can only disgust people by launching a water army to advocate that "excessive beautification is a great harm". In fact, ridicule is ridicule, most users still like to make "screenshots picturesque", everyone is really fed up with the bad experience of games and videos "looking picturesque, screenshots are rotten like dirt".
Although it is only a sports game, the landing process of the spaceship is done very carefully, and there should be a reference to the landing process of the carrier-based aircraft, which seems to be real and credible and has a certain scientific and technological style.
The screen changed, and Cheng Wei's cockpit perspective appeared, using the first perspective to visually show the whole process of the spacecraft's landing. The atmosphere in outer space is thin, there is no crosswind disturbance that pilots are most afraid of, and the speed distance direction is also controlled by a computer, so the landing is very easy, and she still has the leisure to look left and right, watching the surrounding scenery through the virtual cockpit.
In order to better resist the high-speed space junk and the scorching sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the cleaning spacecraft all use a fully enclosed cockpit, and there is no glass cockpit common in space animation, but with the blessing of MR technology, people can easily make the cabin wall "transparent" without worrying about the field of vision.
"Alas!" Lin Chen suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong again?"
"I should have waited a little longer if I knew I would, this game obviously needs to be watched in VR to bring feeling!"
In order to support Bee PT, the world's first and largest VR game console, Bee Game has been launching VR versions of its own PT games simultaneously, and Galaxy Club is no exception. Of course, VR games are easier to produce than VR films, and Bee Films is still struggling to record various landscapes and science and education short films.
While speaking, the heroine Cheng Wei appeared again, jumping down from the simple elevator that lifted herself out of the "ground", and she immediately turned around and walked towards the screen door on the side, wearing an OCD tight-fitting uniform. It's just that the footsteps are a little strange, as if there are sandbags hanging on his feet, lifting his feet and lifting his legs seems a little slow, and he walked for half a minute in just a few meters, which made Lin Chen swallow his saliva several times without arguing.
The main body of the OCD uniform is a shiny bodysuit, and when she walks with her legs raised, the gluteus maximus muscles contraction and bulge rhythmically to drive the reflection of the tights to constantly change, and even a pair of holy vortex (waist sockets) can be seen, which reminds people of how beautiful the scenery under the clothes should be.
"You, you!" Lin Chen was a little incoherent, in the face of the extremely gorgeous picture, he didn't know what to say at all, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Is it really good to sell meat like this?"
As soon as the words came out, his train of thought was straightened out, and then he asked: "What's the matter, looking at other people's prestige farts 1 spicy fire, and making an identical galaxy fart 1 out if you are psychologically jealous?"
", latex clothing wasn't invented by Blizzard, and O wasn't the first to use them in games, so why don't you say we copy ME Mass Effect? β
"What are you telling the truth?"
Lin Jiwu glanced at the other party, "To tell the truth, it's completely normal for her to walk like that, because the gravity where she is greater than normal." And if I'm not mistaken, this set of muscle flow plug-ins also has your contribution in it, and your name in the credits. β
Lin Chen was still a little confused, but when people mentioned the plug-in and name, he immediately remembered what was going on. At that time, many of the games produced by Hong Kong Island Great Sword were OEM by Bee Games in the mainland, just to circumvent legal restrictions and put the final integration and suppression of distribution outside. In order to compete with his Japanese counterparts, he naturally knew about the development of this human muscle movement plug-in by Beeyou, and he also made some suggestions in it, using the aesthetics accumulated by him to help adjust the system. It's just that after so many years, he didn't expect that the original rudimentary plug-in would develop to the point of being fake, and it turned out to be a clown.
What made him feel relieved was only the uniform on his body, which he usually felt ugly. In order to facilitate workers to climb up and squat down for various activities, the overalls pants are made relatively loose, and it is not easy to support the tent.
I looked at the screen again, but I found that the alluring scenery just now had disappeared, and the lens picture was much closer, just blocking the waist down the monitor, and the picture looked a little degraded.
This is also something that can't be helped.,CG short films use supercomputing arrays for rendering,And the game screen can only be processed with a native GPU,And it's a mobile graphics processor like c4000,It's normal to have a drop in image quality.,It's not normal to reduce the magnitude of the reduction as much as you think.γ
"When did C become so powerful? I haven't seen any publicity about it. β
"Do you see this?" Lin Jiwu explained with a smile: "C performance improvement is all in order, after all, power consumption must be controlled. What you're looking at is actually an experimental feature of PTE, ray pre-tracing. To put it simply, it is to run the game on the supercomputer, do a good job of tracking and rendering the fixed light source and save it to the game, so that the system only needs to deal with the dynamic light source when the player is playing. β
Lin Chen, who has participated in many games on the list of the Ministry of Culture, is naturally not a game novice, and when he hears it, he understands that there are huge shortcomings in this method, although HD is good, but the hard disk is small, and he opened his mouth and asked: "How big has the client become?"
Pointing to the screen, Director Lin said helplessly: "This is more than 700GB." β
"Then how can you play? More than 20 Blu-ray discs cost hundreds of dollars, and you plan to sell more than 300 for this game?"
Lin Chen did not mention downloading the digital version, because he knew that even if the national average speed of 19.4Mbps announced by the relevant departments was really not flooded, it would take 80 hours to drag the 700GB game down, and he had to pray that the entire line would not be congested, otherwise the download time would increase a lot. In this case, there are naturally not many players who can wait calmly for several days, and can only rely on Blu-ray discs as a carrier for transmission.
"Of course, the actual client can't be that big," Director Lin has obviously thought about this question for a long time, "We've been busy with this recently, and we plan to put the pre-rendered content in the cloud, and the client can request specific content based on the player's actions and behaviors, so that the content that needs to be downloaded can be greatly reduced." β
"Oh," his words were only met with Lin Chen's casual response, whose attention was already on the game screen in front of him.
The character movement interaction is not unconventional, a simple look at the system key bitmap and he can easily get started, the skillful left thumb controls the direction, the right hand turns his head back and forth to observe, and when the worker NPC comes up to say hello, he looks at the mood and chooses to respond to the statement, Cheng Wei on the screen enters the elevator through two screen doors, and then is taken "up" into the inner ring of the space station.
When Lin Jiwu looked over, he was boringly pressing the jump button to make the heroine jump up and down, admiring the waves on the half wall on his chest, noticing the movement of the other party, Lin Chen hurriedly said, "The gravity system is doing a good job, and it is really jumping higher and higher." β
Needless to explain, just now when he saw the appearance of the space station, he vaguely felt that there should be a centrifugal gravity simulation system, and the sentence "gravity is greater than normal" confirmed this speculation.
"I thought you were going to ask why you were spinning and turning. β
"Dear, we're engaged in mechanics, Newtonian mechanics is a guy who eats!"
"Okay, I made a fool," admitting his mistake calmly, Lin Jiwu introduced the game again, "Originally, PTE's gravity system only had a three-axis coordinate system, and this set of circle center coordinate system was made by ourselves, but fortunately, the system was strong enough, and there was no major problem after changing the formula, so it was easily transplanted." β
When the bucket rotates, the water inside is "pressed" by centrifugal force at the bottom of the bucket and will not be dumped, and the rotating space station will also "press" the people and things inside on the floor outside, thus simulating the gravity environment.
The weightless environment partially malfunctions the unidirectional flow mechanism of blood, and the heart has more difficulty squeezing blood to the ends of the limbs than on the ground, and the load is greater during strenuous activities. Astronauts are always careful in their movements, both because the weightless environment affects muscle control, and because it is important not to cause trouble to the heart. Trained astronauts with the body of a pilot (or simply a fighter pilot) are still in the same condition, and the average person is only more uncomfortable in weightlessness, so artificial gravity systems have become a necessary precursor to space migrants.
Unlike the gravity generation system in other works, which is no different from the ground, GBC chose a more simple and easier to implement centrifugal system, so that the seven space cities form a unique multi-level ring layout. The closer to the inner ring, the smaller the linear velocity of rotation, the smaller the centrifugal force, and the opposite is the highest linear velocity of the outer ring, and the centrifugal force is the largest.
At the same time, the outer ring has a large number of heavy equipment and high quality, which can also play the role of flywheel energy storage, which can reduce the impact of spacecraft take-off and landing on the speed of the system, so as to avoid high and low gravity. In addition, the appearance of Western-style gyroscopes also has the effect of defending against cosmic radiation, which can reduce the impact of various cosmic rays on the human body. Rays include not only electromagnetic waves, but also high-energy particle streams from the depths of the universe, which are more penetrating and more harmful to biological cells, and the so-called space breeding depends on them.
As the number of elevator floors continued to increase, Cheng Wei on the screen jumped higher and higher, first having the feeling of walking on the moon, and finally jumping more than five meters to hit the top of the car, making a delicate "Oops!"
"It's a pity," controlling the character to return to the normal 3rd floor area, Lin Chen muttered, "Iron Man is too weak, why does Falcon 9 always explode!"
"The space shuttle can explode, and of course the falcon can explode," Lin Jiwu shook his head, saying that he was not optimistic about the recyclable rocket.
The reason why the space station in reality does not use the rotation scheme is largely the pot of rocket technology.
Because of the high temperature and high pressure caused by high-speed friction with the atmosphere during return, the rocket engine will be deformed and damaged during the fall, and the rocket engine will be abandoned for safety. The one-time engine has led to a staggering cost of space express shipping, which can reach more than tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram, and the price of high orbit will increase.
As for the reusable space shuttles, they are not cheap to maintain, and if there is an undetected hidden danger that causes the explosion to lose the entire crew, the damage will be even greater. So NASA had to permanently suspend the 8086 processors in the new century on the grounds that Intel was discontinuing production, and instead asked Russia to use Soyuz spacecraft to help transport supplies and personnel to the ISS.
Such a high cost naturally limits the scale of the space station, and there is not enough radius, and if you want to generate a high centrifugal force, you must increase the rotational speed, which will bring a lot of trouble to the observation and solar power generation system, which is flashy and naturally not favored.
In the final analysis, the current space station still exists more as a scientific research platform, and other uses naturally have to give way to the main goal. When recoverable rockets such as Falcon 9 really mature, or the legendary space plane becomes a reality, the space station of tourist and residential nature will appear, and then in order to improve the living environment, it will naturally turn around.
But the problem is, Falcon 9 has exploded again! For Lin Chen, it is simply a matter of hope, how disappointed he is, and he is about to turn black for Musk, a space dream in his lifetime!
