Chapter 1250: Reform is healthier

The moonlight illuminated the sea of clouds, and the white-body-blue-tailed 738 airliner passed through it, stirring up a long, dim trail cloud.

The brightly lit and glowing city belt has long been left behind, and only the dim sea water can be seen through the gap in the clouds.

On the right seat of business class, Atletico Madrid has an open notebook on his lap and is frowning at the prompt message on the screen: "Communication failed, no network available".

In the past, I used to travel by taking the blue bird, and I was accustomed to the convenience of connecting to the Internet at any time, but now I have changed to ordinary civil aviation, and the habit has not been reversed.

Fortunately, this information silo state will not last long. Next time I take a civil aviation, there should be a network available.

In April this year, China Mobile obtained an airborne iFi license issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. So far, the three major operators have all obtained relevant qualifications, and a new round of battle is about to start in the sky.

With the on-board iFi service, a sufficient number of user terminals are naturally required. In September, the Ministry of Transportation passed the fifth edition of the CCAR-121 Rule, which explicitly relaxed the regulation of portable electronic devices (PEDs) on board. Allows airlines to assess the impact of PED devices such as mobile phones, tablets, e-book readers, etc., and develop their own management policies.

In other words, it is up to the airline to allow passengers to use mobile phones. At present, mainstream large passenger aircraft have the ability to resist PED electromagnetic interference, and the Internet access at any time belongs to the "just need" of modern people, and airborne iFi is believed to bring 130 billion US dollars in new financial resources, and major airlines naturally have no reason to refuse.

However, it takes time to formulate and revise relevant policies, equipment bidding, procurement, installation and transformation, and apply for evaluation by the Civil Aviation Administration, and it will take several months before the ban on mobile phones is lifted, and the time required for the full popularization of airborne iFi will be pushed back.

Retracting his thoughts, Atletico opened the bee to read, checked the afternoon cache, and saw the title raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at the crescent moon on the horizon, "The first quarter moon is really appropriate." ”

This is a martial arts, from the hand of Gao Gang who met by chance during the day.

To be exact, it should be said that he and "Gu Long AI" jointly created, the former is responsible for creating the story, the latter is responsible for modifying and retouching, and the title of the book "First Quarter Moon" is from the latter.

The names and styles of ancient dragons vary greatly, including the traditional ones such as "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" and "The Legend of the Banner Heroes", as well as the more modern ones such as "Big Shots" and "Happy Heroes", and there are many like "Full Moon Scimitar" and "White Jade Tiger" are also named after things. Obviously, it is the last one that AI chose for Gao Gang.

"The First Quarter Moon" tells the story of a knife killer whose weapon is a scimitar as thin as the moon, and likes to kill people under the moon, leaving a curved and slender knife mark on the deceased. Every time there is a dispatch, he will leave a book in advance to ask for his life, and the payment is a knife mark as thin as the hook moon, and people do not know its name, so it is called "the first quarter moon".

Like the protagonist of Gu Long, the killer has no history of mentorship and no growth process, and he is a master of the rivers and lakes, with excellent light skills and fast knife skills, and he has not tasted defeat since his debut. Then, like the protagonists, he first encountered the destined Red Dust Tribulation, and then because of this woman with a beautiful name and even more beautiful appearance, he was passively involved in a shocking conspiracy, and after a series of struggles and fierce fights, he escaped miserably and left alone.

Gao Gang is not a professional writer after all, this story is still a previous pen practice work according to him, the writing creativity is naturally not very good, the plot is full of familiar routines, the characters are full of deliberate words and deeds, or the "Heavenly Evil Lone Star Stream" that has been eliminated a long time ago, but Atletico Madrid watched it with relish.

It's not that I'm excited about his storytelling, but I'm proud of the performance of "Gulong AI". After AI modifications, the writing has improved significantly, and it is quite charming to read.

"Gulong AI" is a project jointly developed by Bee Reading and Gulong Copyright Management Committee, and its purpose is to revise Gulong in a centralized manner.

"Dream of Red Mansions" has been reviewed for ten years, added and deleted five times, and has become a classic. Although martial arts as a popular reading material cannot be too demanding, appropriate revision is also necessary. In particular, the serials that are written and sent at the same time will inevitably have a disconnect problem over time, so it is best to revise and revise them when the collection is published. And there are also monetary interests in it, and the new market can bring old products to life and greatly enhance the ability to absorb gold. This is true not only for figures, toys, clothing, and watches, but also for books.

As a well-known martial artist, the Golden Book has been revised three times, repairing text loopholes, burying plot foreshadowing, modifying plots that do not conform to the aesthetics of the times, and strengthening the connection with other Golden Books, which has generally achieved good results.

In contrast, because of Gu Long's untimely death, his 66 books have remained the same and have not been revised on a large scale. Although Gu Fan arrogantly said that even if Gu Long was still alive, he would not bother to change the book and cheat money, but this left some regrets after all, even more so for the Gu Long Copyright Management Committee, which made a living from copyright sublicensing.

Last year, Bee Reading put a special "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" on the shelves. This book is the latest achievement of the main research association of Huanzhu Building, on the basis of the original work, with reference to the "Shushan Universe" setting to greatly modify the plot, delete the number of words to adjust the plot, make it more mellow and coherent, and more in line with the taste of current readers, and also fill in the "third Emei sword" This century pit is also filled.

It is the "landlord AI" developed by the Bee Research Institute based on the text of "Shushan" that made these changes.

The book "Shushan" has 4.5 million words, and there are countless characters, items, and clues, and it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp the overall situation, but AI does not have such problems. The new version created by it is certainly dull, but it has the advantages of logical coherence and spicy writing, and at the same time the die-hard book fans resisted, it also attracted a lot of new readers to "Shushan", regardless of whether it is the research society of the descendants of the landlord, or the bee with many derivative works of Shushan, all of which have gained great benefits.

With this successful record, Bee Reading took the initiative to contact the Ancient Books Committee, which had already cooperated, and the two sides soon reached an agreement to jointly develop the "Ancient Dragon AI", based on which a new version of the "Ancient Dragon Complete Works" was created.

Gu Long created 66 works before and after, with a word count of more than 16.16 million, most of which are martial arts with ancient backgrounds. Although he is always striving for innovation and change, writing more will eventually form his own style routine. After Gu Long passed away due to illness in 1985, Wansheng Publishing House hired a gunman to write it on his behalf, and launched books such as "The Thorn of the Chrysanthemum" and "The Sound of the Knife in the Border City" the following year. Other publishing houses are also not to be outdone, and have launched "Gu Long's posthumous manuscripts".

Although the quality of these "posthumous works" is uneven, and most of them are regarded as forgeries by book lovers and scholars and put into a separate volume, they also prove the feasibility of learning styles to imitate the continuation of mink. After more than a year of training, Bee's "Ancient Dragon AI" has basically mastered the ancient dragon style and is ready to move on to the next step.

In order to reduce the resistance of old readers, and the previous licensing agreement has not ended, the two parties did not directly release the new revised version, but offered "Gulong to help you write" to warm up, so that the AI can meet with readers through this form, further collect feedback and revise the style of writing, so as to lay the foundation for the launch of new versions in the future.

Gao Gang, who traveled to Taiwan and did not forget to pay homage, was the first person they chose to eat crabs.

Because he was shocked by the performance of AI, Gao Gang not only published "First Quarter Moon" as soon as possible, but also went to the book fan forum he managed to post essays, and collected more than a dozen similar "antique dragons", all of which were handed over to AI for retouching and polishing, and satisfactory changes were also made.

After reading two more articles, Atletico closed the reading software and put down the matter. Naturally, someone is responsible for following up and guiding the promotion, but he just needs to wait and see the results.

Looking out the window, the plane has turned back from the airspace of Hong Kong Island and is flying northeastward, about to enter the sky over Egret Island. Radio and television signals from Egret Island arrived first, allowing him to partially restore contact with the outside world. In addition to the news of the celebration of the successful closing of the conference, there are many other contents in the radio and television, but there is no need to spend time on them.

After a while, the 738 passenger plane landed smoothly at Takasaki Airport, and Atletico Madrid quickly took out his mobile phone and officially broke away from the 90-minute network disconnection.

Seeing that it was past nine o'clock in the evening and reporting his safety to his family, he was quickly attracted by a piece of game news.

This is a video of a game in which someone lays railroad tracks, puts them on the front of a locomotive, and builds a steaming railway network.

Trains aren't uncommon in games, but the problem is that the game is Silk Road, a historical game set 2,100 years ago.

Although "Silk Road" is a sandbox game, it is not a type like "Minecraft" that can build a computer in a game and can also be used to play games.

MOD (mod modification) can give full play to the player's intelligence, can effectively extend the life of the stand-alone game, "Warcraft 3", "Roll 4", "Roll 5" and other games have been prosperous, and several of the best in D, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, DOTA, Battle Royale have been continuously improved in continuous updates, and finally have been launched separately and become a world-class well-known game.

Because of the clear awareness of this, Bee Games has encouraged and supported MOD from the beginning, not only its stand-alone games are equipped with a mod store and a mod manager by default, but even some online games will be equipped with similar features, but they are weakened, only in terms of beautification.

In order to encourage folk authors, the bee game official is also making great efforts, on the one hand, they set an example, only making all kinds of complex large-scale mods, and handing over simple tasks such as equipment beautification, fashion pendants, and new creatures to the private sector, on the other hand, opening up game resources to mod authors, allowing the use of these production fee mods, and obtaining a share of the price from them.

As long as it is not such obviously radical works as "Bloody Beast", "Pink Magic Book", and "The Great Wizard of the Crystal Palace", they can easily pass their review and sell on the shelves, and the price is determined by the author.

By default, Bee Games uses its own PT engine and development interface to maintain a high degree of continuity, and third-party authors can easily transplant existing works to new games as long as they master the method, and there will not be too much learning cost for new development. Coupled with the effective management and operation, more and more authors and players are attracted to it, and the number of mods included in the store has exceeded 50,000, although many of them are duplicate ported works and small works, but there are also many popular boutiques, which can be seen from the increasing sales revenue.

Because of this, although Silk Road has not been on the market for more than a month, there are already more than 2,000 mods for this game, and this is not counting the strange mods that cannot be found in the official store.

Beegame's attitude towards the latter is quite complicated: on the one hand, some changes do bring fairness issues, adversely affect achievement rewards and online interactions, and some mods are too large to be restricted, and on the other hand, they sometimes use this to spread content like "Bloody Beast" that has been separated for some reason and cannot be implemented.

The result of the mentality is that although the official resistance is not strong, it is quite a bit of a respectful and laissez-faire taste: for third-party mods manually imported by players, the in-game mod manager will only prompt at most that it will affect achievements and connections, and it is recommended to back up and save it, but it will not block and prohibit it.

This railway mod is also related to this policy.

Someone extracted the steam train and track in "Classical Battlefield 1" and made a MOD, and after careful modification, imported it into the Silk Road, directly upgrading the classical Silk Road built on the back of horses and camels into a modern Eurasian land bridge.

The railway is very long, going directly from Chang'an in the Han Dynasty to Rome in Europe, and is compatible with the random maps in the game, so that the train does not immediately refresh when it passes over the tracks behind it. Even if the archive is exited, there are still rails available for the next re-entry, so you don't have to worry about being left in the middle of the road. As long as the player puts the character on the train, he can easily enjoy the unique scenery and places of interest along the way, which is very much the taste of "Asia-Europe Railway Chronicle".

Looking at this video, Atletico Madrid still had a smug smile on his face at first, but he couldn't help frowning later. When his eyes swept over the comment area, he was even more angry.

According to the video synopsis, their team applied to put the MOD on the shelves of the Bee Store after completing it, but was sent back by the administrator on the grounds that the times and the world view did not match. In a fit of rage, the train team recorded and edited this railway video and posted it on the Internet, hoping to draw support and put pressure on the bee store together.

If so, the problem is that the store manager also saw the video and left a strong statement, saying, "The infringement has been reported to the company, you can wait for the lawyer's letter!"

The "Eurasian Land Bridge" MOD fully uses official materials, and if it is put on the official store to accept the bee commission, there will naturally be no copyright problems, and it will not work if you bypass the bees and sell them directly through third-party channels.

Obviously, the Administrator is telling the truth, but unfortunately the occasion and his identity are not right.

Now, I'm afraid I can only kill the horse. Atletico thought so, logging into his verified account and contemplating the wording.
