Chapter 1252: The Great Plan

On TV, steam trains swallow clouds and spew fog, carrying passengers in ancient costumes through mountains and mountains.

Off-screen, Atletico Madrid slashed with his palm, "It's true that you can't fix it like this in reality, but you can do it in the game." So I'm going to mobilize the player and implement this in the game. ”

Hearing this, Tang Jiayi frowned and asked, "Isn't it already done?"

"Dear, it's still far away!" Atletico raised his hand to stop, pointed to the railway bridge on the screen and said: "This bridge is automatically generated by the game program after turning on the scene adaptation function, it's okay to take a rough look, but if you look closely, you will feel particularly awkward, because the location and modeling structure are not in line with reality." When I go back and wait for me to refine it and send it out as a concept mod, I should be able to gather a group of interested players to work on this project and add more bridges, tracks, stations and locomotives. ”

"This doesn't seem to be bad, who will stop looking at the bridge structure if they have nothing to do?" Tang Jiayi waved her hand disapprovingly, "By the way, the Eurasian Continental Bridge MOD doesn't seem to have this problem, I remember that there are also a lot of bridges and tunnels on it." ”

Atletico pouted in disdain, "That's because the camera was deliberately locked when the video was taken, and if you unlock the camera with the console in the game, you will find that the bridge only has a paper-like deck, but there is nothing underneath." There is also a tunnel, which is directly a black pipe, and it is also impossible to see. They also modified the collision parameters, and the sand and grass blades raised by the train and the clanging sound were all looped animations and sound effects, which could not be more fake, wasting the engine's performance in vain. ”

"So that's the case," Tang Jiayi nodded, "I think this is not bad, and the effect of saving time and effort is not too bad." Speaking of which, it's just a train mod, and it's really not worth it because it's so demanding. ”

"Dear, take a long-term view!" Atletico defended his plan: "I'm a well-known game producer in the industry, and if I only do it at the same level as the private team, I might as well give up and save myself from losing my people." ”

"Then don't get it, you don't lack this little money. ”

"It's a hobby, it's a personal interest. ”

"Huh!" the lady snorted, "who believes me? I haven't seen you have much interest in trains before, and you haven't been on a train for years?"

It is true that in the past, Atletico actually preferred yachts and planes to trains and cars.

Someone's sudden train fandom is actually this month's thing. Some time ago, Atletico Madrid sent the cardboard model of the Egret Island North Station he made to show off on the scarf, and then he found many bad reviews from "folk experts" among the many praises. As the saying goes, if you don't scold, you don't know each other, so Atletico Madrid intersected with the small circle of train fans.

Just as there are different factions of fans and plane fans, there are also clear factions within train fans, some people are crazy about high-speed rail, some people love strange models in history, and some people have a soft spot for stupid steam locomotives with big black and white fog, and Atletico Madrid belongs to the last type.

"Hey," Atletico scratched his head, "I didn't have before, so I'm not interested in trains now?"

"Of course no problem, it's good if you're happy," Tang Jiayi shrugged, "So, you're going to make a big one?"

"Well, I plan to use Mr. Nakayama's 200,000-mile railway map as the basis to re-survey and select routes, redo bridges and tunnels along the way in the game, and modify and beautify the surrounding scenes and NPC forces. Strive to bring his grand vision to life and make it a classic railway simulation game. I've thought of a name, it's called 'Dream of Yat-sen'!"

"Wait until the 'Steam Age' is completed and launched in the future, and then migrate this mod as a whole. If it is well developed, it may be able to become a high-definition version of 'Sid Meier's Railway'. ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but pout, "How do I feel that it is a railway with horse nerves, and I actually want to get a railway plan for the Republic of China in the land of the Han Dynasty?

Atletico smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's it." In addition to these, there are also the Baiyue people, Minyue people, Yelang people, and Dian people in the south. ”

Tang Jiayi frowned, "I feel like it's a bit too much, can't I make a railway simulation game based on the 'Sun Yat-sen Railway Complete Map'?"

"Of course not," Atletico shook his head, "The difficulty of building a 200,000-mile railway in the Republic of China is no lower than that of building a road in the Han Dynasty, and it is easy to hit the reef during this time period, so it is better not to touch it." ”

For some reason, Bee Games rarely launches game works with the background of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and occasionally gets involved, and it is either an anti-Japanese war game like "Bright Sword 2017", or a romance work like a mobile game like "The Family of Gold Powder", or an overhead work with fantasy spoof elements like "Steam Age".

"In short, letting the aborigines of the Han Dynasty travel by train looks like the Indians playing with firearms, there is a strong mix and match style, which is very visually striking at first glance. ”

"It's quite impactful, but how do you arrange your worldview to make him justify?"

After all, the "Eurasian Land Bridge" is only a travel mod made by individual teams, and players will not be too concerned about the rationality of its worldview. If you want, you can change the steam train to a high-speed bullet train, a maglev, or even a turbojet train. However, the "dream of Yat-sen" that Atletico intends to make is aimed at building a complete railway system, and it is obvious that it must face the problem of conflicting worldviews.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome," Atletico nodded in agreement, "Not to mention how to solve the process problems of sealing, casting, forging, and boring, just one material can be handled by many Han Dynasty." The Western Han Dynasty had just entered the Iron Age, and it was still dozens of hundreds of years before the invention of the steel frying method. Moreover, the frying steel method and the steel filling method are made of pig iron and wrought iron, and the output is scarce, and it is difficult to control the specific carbon content, and the quality is unstable and can only be used to make knives and axes and farm tools. ”

"So, what are you going to use to make boilers and cylinders? No matter how small the working pressure of these two is, they are still pressure vessels, and if the boilers and cylinders are installed by the workers by hand, they will leak and explode in minutes, killing people. ”

"Of course, it's still steel. As for the solution, it's simple, just throw a traverser over. Then equip him with a solar mobile phone with a bee encyclopedia, and if you don't understand anything, you can check it at any time. ”

"Huh!" Tang Jiayi sneered, "What about the imperial court?" Emperor Wu of Han is the master who can't rub sand in his eyes, how can the traverser get him to agree to overhaul the railway?"

"This is simple," Atletico snapped his fingers, "with the train, the relocation work that the Han court is doing will become easier." This alone is sufficient. ”

The Qin Dynasty dominated the world and ate the territory of the Eastern Zhou princes such as Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qilu, Chuyue, etc., one by one, but the second emperor of Qin died strongly, and Xu Jiangshan finally cheapened the Liu family. The Western Han Dynasty inherited the territory of the Qin Dynasty and expanded in the north, south and west, and during the reign of Emperor Wu, he successively annexed small states such as Baiyue, Minyue, Yelang, and Yunnan in the south, and pushed the borders of the empire to the coast of the South China Sea.

Because of the rebellions of these small states from time to time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the relocation of local people, scattered the local population into the Central Plains Jianghuai, and then migrated from the interior to replace the Han people, so as to completely consolidate the rule, except for the southernmost three counties of Cochin, Jiuzhen, and Ninan, which later broke away and became today's Vietnam, the rest of the country became a real "since ancient times". On the other hand, the Han Dynasty also immigrated a large number of people to Shibian in the Hexi Corridor area, which also achieved good results.

"It's getting more and more ridiculous. ”

"Actually, it's okay," Atletico didn't think this plot was a bit inconsistent, "It's all done in the traversal text, and the same can be done in the game." And this piece is just background information, which is specially used for those who study the party and the plot party to dig clues. ”

"You're just idle," Tang Jiayi tilted her mouth, "Anyway, I can't accept this strange design." ”

"It's just a normal brain hole, and compared to those post-apocalyptic and twilight invasion games, I'm already conservative. ”

"Post-apocalypse I know, it seems to be the end of the wasteland, the Resident Evil, what is the Twilight invasion?"

"Imagine that the Aztecs crossed the sea to attack the European continent in the Middle Ages, and because they attacked from the sunset in the west, it was called a twilight invasion. ”

Columbus believed that America was actually India until his death, so "Indian" became a common term for Native Americans. It wasn't until the dawn of the new century, with the rise of the White Left, that the term was replaced by "Native American."

The longitudinal continents, which span multiple climatic zones, exacerbated the effects of geographical separation, led to the emergence of hundreds or thousands of ethnic groups with different languages and customs in the Native Americans, most notably the Mayan, Aztec, and Inca. The Aztecs in Mexico became frequent guests in military strategy games such as "Civilization" and "Total War" because of their reputation for heroic warfare, and later successfully ascended to the throne in Paradox's Crusader Kings 2 and became the absolute protagonists of the "Twilight Invasion" expansion.

Hearing this, Tang Jiayi nodded casually, "Paradox? is that the Swedish company that 'PP trades' with you?"

In order to give full play to the advantages of its own machine to support keyboard and mouse operation, Bee Games actively introduced PC online games and strategy games suitable for keyboard and mouse operation into the PT platform, which not only brought a large number of popular online games at home and abroad, but also pulled "Civilization", "Total War", "SimCity" series and "P Society Five Meng" into the chariot. Paradox, known as the "DLC Maniac Swedish P Society", has entered into a strategic cooperation with Beegame, using PT as the preferred platform for its game release updates, allowing the latter to exclusive new DLC and expansion packs for a limited time, known as "PP Deal".

"It's that P company. I have to say that the strategy games they do are really brilliant, and the Nordics seem to be very good at this kind of meticulous and intricate setting work. ”

Tang Jiayi was noncommittal about this, and changed the topic with a slight bow, "By the way, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow?"

"Well," Atletico nodded, "the negotiations for the purchase of the car factory are almost over, and they want me to attend the signing ceremony." ”

After years of gestation, it was finally time for his car to be mass-produced.

Because Pony Vehicle's own factory has limited production capacity, and has not obtained the qualification for passenger car production (sedan and others), it had to find a qualified car company willing to OEM for Raimama E1, but it turned out to hit many nails.

The total production capacity of more than 100 car factories in the country exceeds 40 million, but the total sales volume is only 28 million, of which there are 1 million imported cars, and a considerable number of car companies are in a state of undereating. In the face of idle production capacity, workers on vacation, and the situation of suffering equipment depreciation losses in vain, accepting OEM requests from Internet car companies such as Xiaoma seems to be a mutually beneficial choice.

However, the reality is that there are few manufacturers willing to sit down and talk about cooperation. There is a serious surplus of fuel vehicles, and the production capacity of new energy vehicles is only 800,000 units. What's more, in the field of foundry, there are of course TSMC and Hon Hai Precision, which are the world's top 500-level giants, and the latter is still ranked above the vast majority of car companies, but foundry has always been a coolie in the middle of the industrial chain, and the benefits are not high, and the risks are not necessarily much smaller. As long as the management of the enterprise still has the ambition to dominate the market, it will not be willing to bow down and work for others.

Although the OEM was finally found, the cooperation was stumbling and not very pleasant, and finally forced to create the so-called domestic version of Reima on other model platforms.

Seeing this scene, Atletico simply went down in person, planning to acquire a qualified medium-sized car factory for upgrading, and turn it into a real electric vehicle foundry, not only to build cars, but also to lease spare capacity to other Internet car companies.

Today's cars have about 30,000 parts, but if you count the battery, the total number of parts in an electric car is only a lot more. Integrating products from dozens and hundreds of companies is much more difficult than building a mobile phone. Atletico Madrid's decision to promote the OEM program is only one of the purposes of its own production capacity, but the real idea is to take the opportunity to sell its own technologies such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence assistants, and even high-performance motors.

Now that the cooperation is about to be completed, he, the helmsman, must of course actively come forward to help build momentum on the platform.

Sighing lightly, Tang Jiayi said in a low voice: "Isn't this step a bit too big? I always feel that it is not very safe, and I am afraid that you will also follow the old path of Lao Jia." ”

For the so-called car dream, Lao Jia's Leshi empire fell apart and changed owners, contributing a large number of enduring topics to the media. Now Atletico Madrid also plans to create a billion-level fund for his car-building plan, and she will inevitably feel a little upset in her heart.

"Don't worry," Atletico stretched out his hand to pat her, "even if you can't get along and want to run away in the future, I will definitely piggyback on you and the children, and I will ensure that you will not be embarrassed." ”

"Go!" Tang Jiayi slapped him several times in annoyance, "Can't you say something nice?"

"Yes," Atletico sat up, raised his hand to turn off the TV, and kissed her on the lips, "how about this?"

"Not ...... enough"
