Chapter 55: The Sages
(Make up for yesterday's second update)
As the leader of the technical group in the field of thinking, Chu Zheng became the first tester, only to see him take a simple control manual and look at it for a while, then take the simple control device in his hand, and after a few strokes, he covered his right hand on the controller, and the palm of his hand was attached to the surface of the controller, and all five fingers were just snapped into the five card slots distributed on the controller. [23[]x
"It feels very good, the palm and the surface of the controller are very tight, but you don't need to use force, and it feels ...... By the way, it's easy...... Also, there is a chute at each finger contact point, which is very flexible and a bit strange, which usually feels cumbersome, but I don't know why it feels sensitive here and doesn't feel a little troublesome......"
While trying on the strange controller in his hand, Chu Zheng said what he felt.
"Of course, this is the shape of the final product modified by 'Zixiu' according to the characteristics that are most suitable for human use, and it is definitely the best in terms of ergonomic application." Qian Pinyuan explained on the side.
Zixiu is Zhuang Zhou's word, and it is also the official name of the technical department personnel for the "Balanta World" AI intelligent library CP17O1, the allusion comes from Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, which is quite suitable for the role that CP17O1 is playing now.
As for Zixiu's ergonomics, this is really not a fallacy. In the early days of the founding of the field of thinking, in order to get the mirage of the CG transformation software, all the technical department personnel at that time, under the auspices of Chen Peng, used all the technical department to desperately instill Zixiu with a variety of films to make it familiar with various scene construction and human body structure, including many A films and European and American fierce films, or various hunting films, in the final drum out of the mirage 1.o At the same time, it also made Zixiu can be said to be unsurpassed in the world in terms of ergonomics - just like the oil seller's sentence "only familiar with hands" Or with some celebrities' self-deprecating "read all over the world, the heart is naturally **", the word "read everything" is well deserved, and it is the kind that is unforgettable, and the results obtained are naturally extraordinary.
"Okay, let's try it first to see if the table in the test is good." Chen Peng said with a smile.
Everyone agrees,After all, this controller is for the game.,Feel, ergonomics are secondary,Only in the game is how to show xiàn is the most important measure of whether this controller has value。
This test manipulator uses a wired connection, which is basically the same as a mainstream mouse, and uses a laser sensor, which can actually be seen as an evolution of a modern mouse, and it is also a plug-and-play type with its own driver.
Soon, after plugging in the controller interface, Chu Zheng entered the test scene.
The people in the conference room all looked at the big screen, wanting to see how the controller looked like.
After a while, I saw that the character controlled by Chu Zheng on the screen began to move. At first, the action is very jerky and awkward, like a puppet controlled by a string, and it doesn't have the smoothness of an action game at all.
Everyone's eyes kept moving back and forth on the big screen and Chu Zheng's body, and they saw him stop from time to time, bow his head and flip through the control manual placed on the side, and then continue to use the guò controller to control the game character.
With the passage of time, everyone present in the conference room can obviously see that Chu Zheng's control of the game character is getting better and better, about five minutes later, I saw that the game character on the screen under Chu Zheng's control, forward, backward, squat, rolling, slashing, parrying and other actions are unusually smooth, a series of operation instructions that may be extremely complicated if you use the original keyboard and mouse, and even need to use the Lingyu headset voice command to do the action, I saw that Chu Zheng just seemed to move his fingers a few times to make it, It's incredible.
After Chu Zheng put down the controller, Liang Hao hurriedly went up to the real yàn, very Chu Zheng, it took him a few minutes to enter the state, and the control of the game character was like a finger.
Except for Chen Peng and Qian Pinyuan, who had been tested for a long time, the rest of the people went to try it one by one, and after trying it, they were all amazed at how fast it was to get started and how smart it was to operate.
"Qian Gong, amazing, how did you come up with such a manipulator? I think if this continues, sooner or later the mouse outside will be eliminated. Liang Hao leaned over to Qian Pinyuan and asked.
"It was Mr. Chen who came up with the product plan, and the technical parameters in all aspects at the beginning were also set by Mr. Chen, and our technical department just helped Mr. Chen to get started." Qian Pinyuan hurriedly pretended to be modest and said.
"Well, I've tried a similar design when I was working on machinery before, but now it's been adjusted to suit our needs." Chen Peng shook his hand with a smile and pointed to the controller, "How is it?" Stuff works, right? ”
"Great, didn't say anything!" Liang Hao gave a thumbs up, "With this controller, coupled with the voice commands of the Lingyu headset, we can perfectly experience all the designs of this game." ”
"That's good, in fact, this controller is divided into two types: right-handed and left-handed, you can use one alone, or you can use two together, you can also take this into account when making zuò games."
"I see, Mr. Chen." Liang Hao nodded, and then asked, "By the way, what's the name of this controller?" ”
"Let's call it a sage." Chen Peng thought about it and said the name.
In other words, this manipulator does deserve its name, because this manipulator is actually a simplified and modified version of the large war equipment manipulator of the Eris people, and its original name is the sage.
Chen Peng, who participated in this project, is naturally well aware of the difficulties faced by the team in the process of making the game, and he has been thinking about how to solve it.
In the history of the Eris people, the Sage Control Device series has played an extremely important role for a period of time, and is an important means for the Eris people and their vassal races to control various war and non-war machines, although it has been gradually replaced by a more advanced thinking connection system in the past few hundred years, but for the Earth civilization, this is still a technological means that has been ahead of at least hundreds of years.
The original sage controller is not what the current Chen Peng can manufacture at all, after all, there is still a big gap between materials and various application technologies, but Chen Peng doesn't need the original sage controller, just let the AI simplify the sage controller according to the technical level that can be achieved now, and redesign the appearance according to ergonomics, and finally make the real Yàn room work of the current sage controller.
Although the sage in front of him is no longer the sage of the other, and the function has been weakened miserably, it is more than enough to just cope with the control requirements in the game.
It's just that when Chen Peng said the word "sage", his heart moved faintly, as if he felt that something was calling him.
Shaking his head slightly, steady his mind, Chen Peng clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room, and then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Next, everyone is going to get busy, start to open "Holy War" with all your might, and strive to come up with the public beta version around the Spring Festival, and at the same time, the hardware department will also fully join the team, mainly responsible for further improving the sage controller according to your requirements in the game, and finally completing the product finalization." ”
The people in the room nodded yes.
The meeting was dissolved, and Chen Peng left Chu Zheng alone to arrange the next step.
"Xiao Chu, you wait to give Zhang He and Lao Yin a copy of the product planning and information, so that they can start preparing the corresponding publicity work."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Chu Zheng nodded, but then complained: "But Mr. Chen, our technical department must recruit more people, and when "Holy War" is completed, the technical department also needs to be split to deal with the maintenance and follow-up work of "Balranta World" and "Holy War" respectively, otherwise the personnel will always borrow from east to west and move from west, which is chaotic and inefficient. ”
Now there are only more than 60 people in the technical department, which is much better than when the company was first established, but now while maintaining "Barranta World", it also has to open new games, and from time to time it will be loaned out for certain activities, so it is really difficult to take care of all aspects.
You must know that a well-known company in the industry that opens a large game, there are hundreds or thousands of people in a game department, in comparison, although the technology department in the field of thinking has an AI intelligent library that can rely on help to improve efficiency, but the number of people is still too small, and various tasks are quite complex, it is no longer a problem of a radish and a pit, but a radish must fill at least several pits.
While making great achievements in the field of thinking, the company's lights at night have not been extinguished in the past few months, and the management of employees is also aware of this, but it is temporarily suppressed with rich overtime pay and bonuses, but it is not a way to go on for a long time.
Although since the official operation and success of "Balranta World", the recruitment advertisements in the field of thinking have not stopped, but after all, the company has been established for a short time and the foundation is too thin, so the current problems can only be delayed first and solved slowly.
After appeasing Chu Zheng and waiting for him to leave, Chen Peng was finally the only one left in the conference room. He rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen and painful, and his thoughts did not focus on the topic he had just exchanged with Chu Zheng, but recalled the strange feeling before.
"It's a familiar feeling, is there finally news over there?"
Without further delay, Chen Peng left the conference room directly and went straight back to the top floor of the residence.
