Chapter 507: Discussion of the State
On December 16th, Tianming came to Lanming Game Company.
Nodding all the way to the employees, Tianming came to the president's office on the 18th floor.
"Foreman-kun, how is the game test going?" After seeing the foreman Jun who was working, Tianming asked.
"More than two-thirds of the test progress is over, and in about ten days, it is estimated that the closed beta will be over. It's just been a little bit of trouble lately. ”
"What's the trouble?" Tianming's brows furrowed slightly.
"Game companies such as Tenglong, Jiucheng, Wangyi, and Game Valley called us and pressured us to cooperate with them or announce the development technology of virtual online games, which was very tough."
"I think it's a dead duck with a hard mouth, just ignore these people. How about the country? Has the game been approved by the Ministry of Culture? ”
"Not yet," foreman Jun shook his head, "The state attaches great importance to our virtual online games, and the Ministry of Culture has also sent a group of officials to our company to conduct tests, on the one hand, to test the safety of virtual online games, and on the other hand, to see if there are any side effects on the human body, will it damage the brain nerves?" Will it make players overindulge? So, to be on the safe side, these tests should be conducted for at least six months. ”
"Hehe, six months, in ten days they will have to leave."
Tianming smiled in a slightly mocking tone.
Whether there are side effects of virtual online games or not, the country has the most right to speak.
Take the military virtual online game "Battlefield Margin" as an example, there are currently at least more than 1 million soldiers in the army who have entered this game for training. The cycle is more than a year long, if it is not safe, the soldiers have already had training accidents, how can it be used now?
The game helmets used in the two games "Immortal Continent" and "Glory Continent" are the second-generation helmets that have been improved on the basis of the helmets developed by the state. A variety of rare elements that do not belong to the earth are used, and the physical current and brain waves generated are closer to the bioelectricity and radio waves generated by the human brain, with a higher degree of simulation, higher safety factor, and less energy consumption.
Director Ao led the game test team, wearing this game helmet to play the game for two or three years, and there were no problems, and I don't know if it was because of the long time the game was played, the neural reaction speed was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
So. Tianming speculated that it was unlikely that these officials were actually here to test the game's security, but to prevent the launch of "Immortal Continent" to the market.
Of course, there are no absolutes, now human life is expensive, for the sake of safety, any product must be strictly inspected before it can be put into the market, otherwise once there is a problem. There will be a lot of pressure on the government, and some necessary procedures will still have to be followed.
But Tianming hoped that the game "Seeking Immortal Continent" could be put on the market as soon as possible, so he called Secretary He and told him about it.
Committee member Tan reported the matter to the central authorities. It aroused great attention from the central authorities, and the leaders convened a meeting to discuss it.
Jingbei City, Zhongnanhai is a high-end decorated conference room.
On the wall of the screen is a video of a game: a classic and chic building. The ancient town of small bridges and flowing water, the peach blossom source, and the bamboo forest. My Fair Lady has charming eyes.
The realistic picture made the leaders present unable to distinguish whether this was a movie screen or a game screen, and for a while, they all had the idea of walking into this screen to play.
"Just looking at the scene, I can't tell if it's a game or reality." A Chang. Wei sighed.
"However, for the sake of safety, I think this virtual online game should be promoted carefully, at least until its absolute security is confirmed before it is promoted." The Minister of Culture said.
"The security of virtual online games is enough to promote them into the civilian market, and there is no absolutely safe product in this world, and the application of virtual online games cannot be postponed because of the discomfort of a very small number of people, most people still accept virtual online games, we should support the promotion!" Another leader said.
"Don't rush it!" The Minister of Culture said anxiously: "It will take at least six months of verification before it can be promoted!" Moreover, the impact of virtual online games on traditional games is too great, and the traditional game industry will inevitably undergo collapse changes, a large number of game companies will go bankrupt, and the unemployment rate in country H will be mentioned a lot. ”
The Ministry of Culture is one of the functional organs of country H, which belongs to a relatively low-level department, and at the level of the Minister of Culture, he does not have the authority to know about the supernatural, if he knows that the game "Seeking the Immortal Continent" was developed by the personnel of the anomalous organization, maybe the opposition will not be so fierce.
The second chief smiled and said: "Minister Sun, don't worry, the advantages and promotion prospects of virtual online games, I think you don't know much about them, some old rules and regulations haven't jumped out yet, it doesn't matter, we have a research expert in virtual reality, you listen to his understanding of virtual online games." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Although the Minister of Culture has a lot of confusion and questions in his heart, the Prime Minister has spoken, how can he not listen?
A man in a posture like a pine walked up to the stage, his eyes were bright, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, but his gaze could not be concealed through the lenses.
After the slides in the screen wall opened, the man began to explain the contents of the slides.
"Virtual reality technology is the most epoch-making network technology in the 21st century, and its impact is no less than a network revolution, and will even affect the development trend of society, humanities, economy, military and other fields in the next thousands of years, and human civilization will enter a new era......
"I'm going to elaborate in three directions."
"First, in the field of education. The advent of virtual reality technology will have a huge impact on today's education model. Our researchers have found that in the virtual environment, the learning efficiency of the human brain is 7 times that of the classroom, and the use of virtual education can greatly improve the development of our national quality and brain domain, which is also the direction of our future education reform. ”
"Second, the economic sphere. With the continuous development of science and technology, in the future high-tech era, the machine will replace the vast majority of manual labor, and the employment will become more and more severe, and with the increase in the unemployment rate, the society will accumulate more and more people's dissatisfaction, leading to the rise of the crime rate, and virtual reality technology can eliminate this hidden danger, becoming a good way to reduce unemployment and kill time. Even. A new economic model has been extended -- the virtual economy. ”
"Third, the virtual economy. The so-called virtual economy is a new model of social interests based on virtual reality technology. When the material civilization develops to a certain stage, there will inevitably be a situation of oversupply, which will inevitably produce periodic economic crises, so that the material society will become turbulent, and the virtual economy can make up for the shortcomings of the material economy, improve the vitality of the society at the same time, but also meet the spiritual needs of people, and spiritual needs. It has the same economic value as material needs. ”
"So I think the state should cooperate with Blue Ming Games! Carry out all-round cooperation in the fields of education, economy and virtual economy in the country! Take the virtual online game "Seeking the Immortal Continent" as an opportunity to use their technological advantages to fill in the weaknesses of the country in all aspects, and achieve the strategic goal of becoming a strong country in education, economy and spirit!! ”
The vast majority of the leaders present felt their blood boiling, and even the Minister of Culture was strongly shaken for a while. I feel that those traditional game industries, in front of the three powers, seem to have become insignificant.
Chief One waved his hand, allowing the research expert to step aside. Stood up and announced several blockbuster decisions.
"From today, the state will cooperate with Lanming Games to fully support its virtual online game promotion plan. In addition, the state will provide several additional supports. ”
"First, the state does not interfere with the operation of virtual online games. Any decision made by Lanming Games Company will not interfere with its interests and will not hinder its promotion and evolution. ”
"Second, in the fields of education, economy, culture, etc., we will carry out technical cooperation with Lanming Game Company to launch a number of other virtual products, including virtual online games, and apply them in various fields."
"Third, to study the virtual economy to verify the specific role it can play in the national economy, for this reason, the Ministry of Finance will allocate 100 billion yuan to inject into the game "Seeking Immortal Continent" to invest in the virtual economy."
Rumble!
The three decisions announced by the No. 1 chief were more shocked than the other, especially when he heard that the state would inject 100 billion yuan to invest in the virtual economy, the Minister of Culture was already blindsided.
What is this kind of investment in the virtual economy, it is completely to send money to the game company!
Still, he voiced his concerns: "Chairman, if this is done, the traditional game industry will completely decline, and at least a million people will lose their jobs because of this, what will these people do?" ”
The No. 1 chief smiled calmly, "Rest assured, virtual reality technology is not only in the hands of a company in the hands of Lanming Game Company, the country also has the same technology, we will set up a number of virtual technology research companies to absorb some of the unemployed." If necessary, the state will open up virtual reality technology to the private sector and promote the contention of a hundred schools. ”
"Oh~ Then I'm relieved, I unconditionally support the country's decision!" The Minister of Culture said.
……
On December 17, the state announced that it would fully support Lanming Game Company and inject 100 billion yuan to invest in the virtual economy, which immediately shocked the whole country.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! On the same day, the stocks of Haicheng Stock Exchange, Tenglong, Jiucheng, and Wangyi Games plummeted by 97%, and many shareholders chose to jump off the building because of heavy losses.
On the other hand, countless companies or individuals have called Lanming Games and expressed their willingness to provide funds to vigorously support Lanming Games' game promotion cause, but they have all been rejected miserably.
"We're going to eat! We want to survive! ”
"Help us! Save the traditional game! ”
"The hungry tiger pounces into the flock, and the virtual online game rolls out of the game circle!"
"Please keep the job bowl for us!"
On the 18th, Shenhai City, Yang Qi, president of Tenglong Game Company, led the company's 3662 employees, holding banners and slogans, kneeling in front of the government building, begging the government to give a way to live, but got an extremely disappointed reply, after going back, Tenglong Game Company laid off 63% of its employees in one breath, and instead joined the national virtual research and development program, and was on the same level as other companies.
