Chapter 237: How to Make Money in the Virtual World (1100 Orders and Updates)
Virtual labs.
Not only Skye was there, but even Tony was there.
"Azeroth Social Networks" also has his shares, is one of the major shareholders, and is also one of the developers of "Framework", with a contribution of more than 30%, which is comparable to Skye and Fitz.
Fitz rushed back from Kunlun almost half a month ago, reluctantly put down the research work of the Kunlun spacecraft and devoted himself to the research and development of virtual equipment.
Because the virtual technology is mainly based on brain mapping and memory uploading, plus the relevant technology obtained from the Zorla database, it is generally complete, and the super computer room has been built a long time ago, and Fitz's workload is not large.
In the early design, there was no need to consider VR cabins, VR somthoracic suits or VR chairs, just a simple virtual headset, which was modified according to the original headset, reserved for a large enough capacity, and then written by Skye.
"I designed a very simple scenario, which is this lab."
Skye handed a virtual helmet to Wang: "It's very easy to build. Activate the core program, put on the headset, and build the virtual scene in your mind. The helmet maps and uploads the memories of this time, intercepts and saves them through the core program, and then modifies them. ”
Lao Wang nodded and put on his helmet.
The next moment, he found himself in a familiar and yet unfamiliar scene.
Familiar because this scene is almost exactly the same as the Azeroth lab, especially the bedroom and virtual lab of the two, and unfamiliar because there are many details that are problematic, and there are some uncomfortable distortions overall.
This loss of Allah comes from a deviation in memory.
Everyone can create the world in their minds, but this creation must have subjective factors and fantasy colors, and the world in everyone's eyes is different, when you enter the world created by others, it is like going to a strange environment, and all kinds of information affect each other.
There will be rejection, there will be maladaptation.
There are also issues with clarity.
Bedrooms and virtual labs have the highest definition, cafeterias and gyms are secondary, and other places are more blurry and less visible.
Lao Wang "walked" in the virtual world, imagining himself flying, and then he did fly.
He wanted to fly higher, but suddenly fell, and found himself lying on the ground, covered in blood, with a white unknown object on his head, his vision locked, the sky turned gray, and a line of cursive writing in which dragons and phoenixes danced:
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and heroes please start over.
Further down are two short and powerful English words:
game over
Taking off his helmet, Wang looked at Skye.
"Developers can set a variety of basic parameters such as temperature, oxygen content, maximum flight altitude, metal content, and population density through the core program."
"Everybody can fly in this virtual world, but I've set a maximum flight altitude of 30 meters. ”
30 meters, ordinary people do die as soon as they fall...... Lao Wang nodded.
The real world is influenced by various fundamental laws, and it is impossible to do whatever you want.
But the virtual world can.
Because it can directly change the basic laws of the virtual world, and thus affect everything else.
"Anyone can develop a virtual world as long as they have the core program and related equipment."
Skye continues:
"Everybody fantasizes and creates their own world in their minds. But the world created by each person is different, some are well-set, some are rough and simple...... It's like Erica's favorite network lately. If you want to design a perfect virtual world, you must not only have rich imagination, but also have strong logical thinking, and even a certain degree of professionalism, such people are hard to find. ”
Fitz also nodded: "Huh...... It's really hard to find. Artists are good at fantasy, scientists are good at logical thinking, and there are not many who can combine the two. Directors, screenwriters, science fiction writers, these people are not bad, but there are too few of them. ”
Skye went on to explain: "The core program and world setting are the fundamentals, and the fantasy world is the same as the pictures, videos, and modeling in the current game, with the aim of making the world itself look more realistic and interesting. There's also a big problem: the ability to fantasize. ”
"For example, the world created by Skye is very vague in many places."
"Ordinary people have limited mental power, and most of our memories come from our senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and feeling. But fantasy is different, it is tantamount to creating out of thin air. ”
For example, he said:
"For example, I am very familiar with the physical engineering laboratory, I have to look at it many times a day, and it can be extracted directly from memory, and the resolution is very high, and ordinary people can't tell it at all, and they will think that it is a virtual world. But if you want me to imagine the world of Harry Potter, imagine Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it's not impossible, but it's distorted, the resolution is so low that anyone can see it's fake. ”
Lao Wang understood.
Fantasy is not as simple as you think.
Close your eyes and imagine, even if you imagine the most familiar person, it is difficult for you to sketch her full face in your mind, a smile, not to mention the texture of the skin, the light in the eyes.
Not to mention the need to build a whole world.
In the final analysis, it's because of the lack of mental strength.
The mental strength of ordinary people is too weak to do it at all.
What about collaboration?
Not even more.
Fantasy is a very personal thing, even if it is fantasizing about the same person, the outline, temperament, and way that everyone constructs in their minds are different, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all.
There is only one result of forcible cooperation:
Destroy the authenticity of the virtual world.
In other words, in order to create a complete, infinitely realistic world where no one can find a problem if they enter it, three conditions must be met:
First, it can only be done by one person;
Second, the person's mental strength must be strong enough;
Third, the person must have enough time to build, or......
It's not a fantasy world at all, it's a real world!
In this way, it is completely possible to upload the memory directly, select the suitable parts, set the world rules and virtual rules, and the core program will calculate and complete them.
Only then will the created world be perfect enough.
Odd.
How do you feel like this thing is for me?
I've really been to a real magical world, and my mental power is strong enough......
"How's the Virtual Experience Center going?" Lao Wang asked.
"At least three months." Skye replied.
Lao Wang nodded.
He had the heart to develop World of Warcraft, which was not very difficult, but there was a big problem:
World of Warcraft is too big.
If you want to create a complete World of Warcraft, even if you use all the storage devices on the planet now, it is not enough.
Although Lao Wang has only been in World of Warcraft for a short period of 10 years, he has experienced too much, and he has been in hundreds of timelines through the Cave of Time for I don't know how many years.
If you really count it, he is actually not in his fifties, but more than a hundred years old, and he is indeed an old monster.
In addition, the mental power is strong, the resolution of memory is much higher than that of ordinary people, the amount of information is too large, and the storage space required is too large.
And he didn't travel all over the World of Warcraft.
If you really want to create a perfect World of Warcraft, you have to use his relevant memories as the basis, deduce and complete them through the core program, and the final world formed may have a total capacity of thousands of times the amount of your own memory.
It's too hard.
Either the image quality is reduced, or you have to wait.
Or......
Develop a part first?
No, it doesn't.
"World of Warcraft" is too big, there are too many races, even if it is just all the novice areas and the main city, the super computer room is not enough.
There's no need to develop World of Warcraft for the time being, you can start with something simpler.
Like what......
Warcraft?
Hearthstone?
"The Storm Must Fire"?
After thinking about it, Lao Wang said: "Contact S.H.I.E.L.D., Afterlife, Kunlun, and Kama Taj, and cooperate with them to develop the virtual world they need, and collect money according to the size of the world and the time they use." ”
Skye's eyes lit up.
Everyone's needs are different.
The virtual world built by the chef is definitely not suitable for the military, and the virtual world built by the mage is definitely not suitable for the warrior.
The best way to do that is to build it themselves.
For example, let the mages build the virtual world of Kama Taj, the Three Sanctuary and the Dark Dimension, let S.H.I.E.L.D. agents build the Trident headquarters, and even the Hydra base that will be attacked.
In this way, only equipment and technology need to be provided.
Not only does it save labor costs, but it also makes a lot of money, so it's not too cost-effective.
Of course, we must not forget about the protective measures.
Kama Taj and Kunlun probably won't make any small moves, but the boiled egg guy will definitely find a way to crack it.
Mages can practice spells and simulate battles with fanatics and demons of hell in the virtual world, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can simulate attacks on the Hydra base and carry out missions in the same way.
In the absence of any loss of ammunition or casualties, proficiency will gradually rise, and when it is time to actually fight, you can save ammunition, reduce casualties, and save a lot of pensions.
If nothing else, all organizations will buy it!
Just don't ask too hard......
"Skye went to find his aunt in the afterlife, Fiz went to Kunlun to find Matt, and I personally went to S.H.I.E.L.D."
Lao Wang looked at Tony: "Mr. Stark, don't be idle. As a shareholder of the company, do you also move around more? ”
