Chapter 2, Martial Arts
Wulin Fengyun, is a game that connects the virtual martial arts world and the real world, promoted and listed seven years ago, and really entered the public eye four years ago, and gradually became popular, three years ago the senior management of the game's development company, martial arts enthusiasts and game developers headed by Zhu Tao began to prepare for the professional competition of Wulin Fengyun game, which is not only to promote this game, but also to integrate sports, especially martial arts, into the lives of the public, and has become a household name today.
Zhang Hao sat on the chair, looking at the junior brother who was holding a cigarette and kept swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and his head kept recalling the development process of the martial arts game, there was struggle, blood, joy, and ups and downs. He used to be a non-smoker, Zhang Hao thought to himself and looked out the window at the city with red lights.
......
"Most of the games on the market are mainly online mobile games, especially now that the technological strength is improving faster and faster, and some of the special effects, graphics and visual experience of games have reached their peak."
"Yes, my dad watched a game I played the day before yesterday, and sighed for a while, saying, 'This picture is almost as immersive as being there.'" A man with long red hair interjected.
"However, if you summarize it carefully, you can find that the current game is still developed on the basis of the original game, and it is not innovative enough." Dugu Yan said that she was Zhu Tao's senior sister, sitting on the chair behind Zhu Tao, listening carefully to the discussion of Zhu Tao and other board of directors with Zhang Hao and Zheng Jun, all of them were thoughtful, faintly worried that today's proposal would be strongly opposed.
"That's right, Senior Sister is right, what we have to do is innovation, all-round innovation. There was once a game company that made a game that used both hands and feet, using neural connectors to put the human body into the game world, but unfortunately, the development cost was too high, and there was no attractive theme, and it ended up in less than a month after it was launched. The red-haired man continued, his name is Sun Lei, a top student majoring in computer software who has just graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and is a core member of game development.
"So you think we can afford it?" An obese middle-aged board member glanced at Dugu Yan, Zhang Hao, and Zheng Jun, and was slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Tao's pulling these three outsiders to the board of directors to observe, and seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, he continued,
"I've probably heard about your project, the cost is too great, and it's too difficult to make it realistic, and it's too difficult to use real martial arts moves as a means of duel in the game, when and where to find so many martial arts masters, and you don't want to deal with it, and how to persuade those sects to put their cheats into our game, isn't it too whimsical." He slowly expressed his doubts, in fact, he didn't want to hinder Zhu Tao's project, but really felt that the ideas of these young people were too out-of-the-box. Many of the members of the board of directors nodded slightly, and Zhang De's words reached their hearts. They didn't say much about the face of Chairman Zhu Tao, but they were actually not optimistic about Zhu Tao's plan.
"When you do a project, you have to look at the novelty and potential. I've been preparing for this project for a long time, and I'm also recruiting top talent in electronics technology. Zhu Tao paused slightly. Sun Lei smiled, which naturally included him.
"In the game of martial arts, the novelty is unique, and as for the potential, he is unique, and this is the potential. What is not available on the market, we have created it, so naturally there is no need to worry about sales. Zhu Tao had long thought that he would face doubts from the board of directors, and he had already thought of countless words in his head to deal with it. In his imagination, the opposition from the top was much more fierce than that.
"So how do you make sure our products will be welcomed?" The woman sitting next to the long-haired man raised her eyebrows and asked, her name is Li Li, she occupies 15% of the company's shares, and she is the largest shareholder second only to Zhu Tao, and her words are particularly weighty. Zhu Tao looked at the blazing eyes that looked at him, as if he wanted to pierce him. Only Zhang De occasionally glanced at Li Li with his spare eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth quite meaningfully, but it didn't flash for a moment, and no one noticed
"Do you remember Jin Yong?" Zhang Tao looked at Li Li and asked,
"The novelist?" Everyone was stunned. The novelist is known far and wide, and the popularity of his works has not diminished, so they naturally know it.
"Everyone has a martial arts dream, and I want to provide a stage for people." Zhu Tao said with a smile, looking at everyone calmly, but as if he could not refute it, this is the power of his power as the chairman.
"I don't have a problem anymore." As soon as Zhu Tao's words came out, Li Li pondered for a long time and no longer objected. None of the sixteen board members continued to refute, and even Zhang De, who still had an opposing opinion in his heart, did not speak out. After all, the chairman is so resolute, it is really difficult for him to continue to entangle. The most important thing is that Zhu Tao established the company, and since its development, there have been almost no mistakes in the decision to go abroad, and even if he encountered some hardships, he was successfully solved in the end. He was suspicious of the project, but believed in Zhu Tao.
"Well, I'm proposing, this product... Belch... The game, I and the chairman have been doing it for a long time, since the directors don't quite approve of it, you can experience it first, although it is not particularly perfect, but the overall framework is already there, and the connection sensor can already enter the virtual world. Sun Lei feels that this game can't be called a product yet, because it has not been promoted to the market, he is a science and engineering man, and his speech is particularly rigorous. But everyone understands what he means, and he wants the directors to experience it for themselves, so as to show off his achievements, and preferably to win everyone over with the quality of the game.
"Since Sun Lei said so, let's try it, I'll forget it, I'm in my forties, so I won't participate." Zhang De leaned back in his chair, not to lose face, everyone knows that this person thinks that everything that has anything to do with the game is the stuff of young people, he can't be interested, and only pays attention to how much development this game can bring to the company.
"Let's go, follow Sun Lei and go to the laboratory to experience it." Zhu Tao saw that everyone's curiosity was poured down a lot by Zhang De's basin of cold water, and immediately persuaded him, hearing this, Sun Lei got up and asked a few younger directors to walk out of the conference room and towards the laboratory.
"Uncle De, it's okay for you to go and have a look." When everyone left the conference room, Zhu Tao immediately changed his face, approached Zhang De, and said flatteringly.
"When you get married, you're about to wear a pair of pants."
'Bang! The door to the conference room had just opened and slammed shut. Li Li just pushed the door in and wanted to ask Zhu Tao to go with her, but when she heard this, she immediately retreated with a red face.
"I'm still shy, I'm almost wearing a pair of pants." Zhang De glared at Zhu Tao and said.
"I can't hide anything from you." Zhu Tao sat next to Zhang De and laughed.
"Does this thing really work?" Zhang De is the old man of the company, and he was the backbone of the world who followed Zhu Tao at the beginning, and when he asked at this time, he just didn't want to hear any vain words.
"Absolutely! There is one last step left. ”
"Huh?"
"Smash the field! Just take a look. Zhu Tao pressed Zhang De's shoulder, took off his coat and put it on his arm, Zhang Hao, Dugu Yan and Zheng Jun all stood up and were eager to try.
......
"Dad, it's really going to retire." Ding Li stood under the two golden trophies that Ding Kaifeng had gotten, and said with red eyes. He had asked this sentence many times but he still repeated it, and he still couldn't forget the appearance of his father holding him to lift the first trophy.
"Hey, look at my arms, no matter how realistic they are, they are prosthetics, and they can't be projected into the game, so there's no way to do it." Ding Kaifeng leaned on the sofa, and he was also helpless to leave him, as he said, there is always a lot of helplessness in life.
The biggest feature of the martial arts game is the use of high-tech perceptual connection neural technology, which connects the human brain with the game world, and people can enter the virtual martial arts world as long as they bring the sympathetizer to the head and arms.
The two sympathetes, the one on the head can connect to the nerves of the human brain, and the one on the arm can sense the physical indicators of the person, and convert the muscle content and health of the human body into data, which can be loaded and transformed into the virtual world.
That said, the more physical you are, the stronger your character in the game world will be. So how to enhance the characters in the game, naturally, is exercise! Obviously, Ding Kaifeng's prosthetic leg no longer meets the setting of the game, and no one can exercise the prosthetic leg. On top of that, the game also connects the experiences of the characters in the game to the pain nerves of real-life players, and after the exit of this feature, it immediately caused a storm and countless players played the game precisely because of this setting. However, prostheses do not have nerves, so there is no way to perceive pain and other sensations.
The guests in the house have almost left, and the remaining people are all old comrades-in-arms who formed the Kongtong faction with Ding Kaifeng, and there is nothing that cannot be said in front of them.
Several adult men looked at Ding Kaifeng's arms that could barely distinguish between real and fake, and shook their heads helplessly.
"I'm going to play too! Zhu Tao said, martial arts is inheritance, I have practiced martial arts with you since childhood, I will definitely be able to enter the martial arts circle! Ding Li said sonorously, with a firm tone and no hesitation. The few people who didn't leave looked at Ding Li approvingly while eating snacks. It is true that Ding Li and Ding Kaifeng have practiced martial arts since childhood, but after all, he is a high school student and is about to face a major exam in his life - the college entrance examination, so Ding Kaifeng has always persuaded his son to study first, and it is okay to practice martial arts in the air, as for loading into the game, I will talk about it later, for fear of delaying his exam.
"Ah, son, are you sure?" Ding Kaifeng drank a large glass of wine, looked at his son and groaned. He once dreamed of piling up a wall with his championship trophies, but so far there are only two, and he is leaving, and his son will help him realize it, it seems that it is not bad. However, today's day is a bit special.
"I'm pretty sure!" Ding Li turned his head to look at Ding Kaifeng, his eyes were red, pitiful, but firm, and he made great determination at a glance.
"In that case, I'll take out your monthly exam transcript and give it to your uncle or something!"
