Chapter 1036: Free Choice and the Inevitability of the Plot (1st Update)
Demonstration of the new Jericho missile at the Lighthouse State military base.
While leaving the car, he was attacked, and a missile exploded next to him, and he lost consciousness.
Wake up in a cave and be forced by terrorists to make missiles for them.
Successfully created Mark1 to escape, and returned to the Lighthouse Nation to hold a press conference to announce the closure of the Stark military industry.
Inspired by Mark1, it was decided to develop a completely new wearable armor.
……
It took Zhang Zhibin some time to fully integrate into Tony Stark's character setting.
In the process of advancing the plot, through the reactions of the surrounding NPCs, Zhang Zhibin slowly learned about Tony Stark's personality.
He was a tech genius who could develop tech products that were far ahead of his time, but he was also a playboy, arrogant, unpunctual, often ignoring the feelings of those around him, and sometimes lacking basic self-care skills – like those science maniacs.
But I have to admit that he has a unique personality charm that makes everyone around him can't help but get close to him, even if he is often willful like a child, they will tolerate him.
Of course, these are all inferred by Zhang Zhibin through the reactions of the people around him, the "original Stark" no longer exists, and now the Stark played by Zhang Zhibin has become another person.
Zhang Zhibin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he played Tony Stark according to his personality and habits, and enjoyed it.
Obviously, the people around Stark, including Colonel James and Pepper, were very surprised by Tony Stark's change. And this situation is what Zhang Zhibin is very happy to see.
This made him feel that he was not experiencing other people's lives from other people's perspectives, but really taking their place.
In the process of the game's plot, Zhang Zhibin also roughly understood why this degree of freedom can be achieved in the game "Iron Man".
This so-called "freedom" is not unlimited.
In fact, the game of "Iron Man" is a box garden, and its story is divided into small sections, and within each plate, the player can act as he pleases, and between the plates, there is no decisive influence.
As a simple example, in the "casino" scenario, players can choose to go to the casino first to claim the prize, or they can choose not to claim the prize and go directly to the casino.
If the latter is chosen, then the plot is closer to the plot of the movie; Choosing the former is nothing more than adding a playable part of the presentation for the player.
In the same way, whether you choose to spend the night with the female journalist Christina, whether you are late to the Beacon State military base, which way to flee when you are attacked on the road, whether you agree to make missiles for terrorists in the cave at the beginning......
Players can try different choices in each session according to their own ideas, but these choices will not affect the story of the next session.
For example, in the scene of the attack, no matter which way the player runs, the missile will "accurately" land in front of the player, and then explode, sending the key shrapnel that advances the plot into the player's body.
But what if the player is working against each other on some key plot points?
For example, in the plot of the press conference, Tony Stark announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons research and development department, if the player deliberately said at the press conference that he would "increase investment in weapons research and development", wouldn't it be completely contrary to the plot?
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to use consciousness implantation technology.
First of all, players have experienced the cave plot firsthand, and they are well aware of the impact of Stark Industries' missiles, and most players will make the same choices as Tony Stark from the bottom of their hearts after experiencing this story.
Secondly, when the player stands on the podium, the Consciousness Implantation Technology implants a strong idea in the player's mind, "Shut down the Stark Industries Weapons Department", which will affect the player's decision and lead him to make the right choice.
Finally, what if the player had to do the opposite?
That's equivalent to driving into the river, not completing the mission and being shot by terrorists, which is equivalent to game over, and the plot starts again from the previous checkpoint.
Although the degree of freedom is high, the whole story still has a plot line, which can be deviated from, but it certainly can't be completely opposed.
This approach is a good balance between the "degree of freedom" and the "main plot line", and through the approach of box-court games, players have achieved a preliminary "high degree of freedom" in the virtual world.
……
At this time, Zhang Zhibin, or Tony Stark, is standing in front of the holographic projection, making a new suit, Mark2, with the help of Jarvis.
"I didn't expect to experience what it feels like to be a science madman in the virtual world. I have to say, this feeling ...... Pretty good. ”
Zhang Zhibin looked at the Mark1 projection in front of him, he only needed to move on this virtual projection, he could remove the redundant parts on it one by one, and then design a new drawing with the help of Jarvis.
There are a lot of ideas that come to his mind, such as adding a jet component here, a controller there, or a special shape.
By following these ideas, you can get an increasingly accurate model. Or simply leave most of the work to Jarvis, and Mark2's holographic projection model will be automatically generated.
Then, Zhang Zhibin successfully produced the leg component of Mark2.
After wearing it, Zhang Zhibin couldn't wait to put it on and try it on.
Jarvis prompted him to choose a value for axial load support, which is recommended to be between 1% and 10%.
"Then 5%." Zhang Zhibin chose an intermediate number.
Three seconds later, Zhang Zhibin felt a powerful thrust coming from under his feet, and he couldn't control his whole body and rose into the air, then turned over and fell his back to the ground.
"Wow ......"
The fire extinguishing robot next to him sprayed his face with dry powder.
What Zhang Zhibin didn't know was that he was actually quite lucky.
Tony Stark opted for 10% axial load support and then stuck his whole body against the wall. And he chose 5% and just landed on his back.
Continue to make hand armor.
This time, Zhang Zhibin put on the armor of his hands and feet, and chose to start with 1% axial load support.
Mark1 also has a flight function, but it is not perfect, and Tony only barely lifts off into the air and flies a parabola, and crashes into the desert.
Starting from Mark2, the Iron Man suit can be regarded as having the ability to truly fly freely and control, and what Zhang Zhibin is experiencing now is the process of conducting flight tests.
Zhang Zhibin felt a strong thrust in his hands and feet, and the whole person slowly rose into the air.
