......

After eight months, when the news came out that the discontinued "Xianwu Era" was about to be repackaged for testing, the entire game industry was shaken.

Players are looking forward to the return of a good game, after all, "Xianwu Era" has a large number of hardcore people, these people are immersed in that illusory rivers and lakes, but they were inexplicably driven away before, and they can no longer return to that rivers and lakes. As for other game companies, some of them are lively, some want to say goodbye, and some have other ideas, which is not enough for outsiders.

At nine o'clock in the morning, before the press conference began, a large number of reporters in the game circle, online game peers and the ashes of "Xianwu Era" poured into the building that originally belonged to Cloud Network Technology, these people came with various purposes, but no one knew that they would witness the arrival of a new era.

At half past nine o'clock in the morning, when the press conference was full, the personnel of the press conference of Tengyi Company came in turn, Yu Shaoliang, president of the branch, Liu Weiyuan, director of the operation department, and Han Chao, director of the planning department, these are well-known figures in the industry. That is Mr. Li Fan, the new director of the technical department and the chief engineer of technology research and development of our Tengyi company.

Today, under the introduction of Mr. Li Fan, everyone present will be honored to witness the arrival of a new era. ”

After saying this, Yu Shaoliang first stood up and applauded, and the rest of Tengyi Company also stood up, which made the people who came to the press conference a little confused, Yu Shaoliang's words sounded like falling into a complete self-congratulatory boast, but everyone has not yet witnessed what the so-called new era is, so everyone in the audience looked at a few people on the stage with some inexplicability, in such an atmosphere, a huge light curtain appeared in front of the venue, followed by Li Fan and Lin Yun slowly walked into the venue from the side.

"I won't say much about the scene, and then let's go straight to the point."

Li Fan is like a technographer who doesn't know anything about the world, without any polite words on the scene, he has to go straight to the point as soon as he comes up, but before he can get to the point, a thin monkey-like young man in the field stood up and said: "Mr. Li Fan, I don't care about the so-called new era here, I just want to know if your repackaged "Xianwu Era" will retain those intelligent NPCs in the original game?" ”

The sudden questioning made the people in the original venue instantly shift their focus, but Li Fan just looked the young man up and down, and smiled: "Can I tell me your name?" ”

"Qin Lang."

Hearing this somewhat impressive name, Li Fan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Qin Lang, if you can wait patiently here for ten to fifteen minutes, I guarantee that you will get a surprise." ”

Qin Lang was stunned, he came here today only for one thing, that is, to find an answer to the previous question, although it has been eight months since he left that Jianghu, he still misses his little junior sister, he just wants to know if he can still see his little junior sister.

Qin Lang sat down, although he only thought of the little junior sister in his heart, but eight months had passed, couldn't he wait for more than ten minutes?

"Alright, please look at the light curtain."

Li Fan returned to the topic, and then pointed to the pictures shown on the light screen and began to introduce, first of all, his focus was still on the game world that was about to be re-launched, and after a brief presentation, everyone present knew that there were three big changes in the upcoming re-launch of "Xianwu Era".

First, the game was renamed "My Rivers and Lakes".

Second, the map of the game world has been reduced to a quarter of its original size.

Third, the gameplay has been fully updated, those auxiliary pills have been canceled, and martial arts cannot be directly cultivated, and the theme of the game has completely tended to a higher degree of realism.

Such a change,Except for the first one,The last two are simply unacceptable,The original "Xianwu Era"'s huge world map and background structure is a highlight of the game,But now the game map has been reduced to a quarter of the original,It's simply an act of self-abandonment of martial arts,As for the third change, it's even more unacceptable,The so-called higher fidelity,But do players want to learn a little bit'martial arts',Where is the fun of the game itself?

Therefore, after Li Fan finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion now, and the people from other game companies who came on this trip looked like they were ready to see jokes, but Li Fan ignored these and just said: "I know that everyone doesn't understand such a change, but when I finish the next explanation, I believe everyone will find a completely different game world." ”

As the camera zoomed in, I saw a pretty girl holding a long sword in front of a stall and bargaining with the stall owner for a jade wrench, the voice of the two talking was clear and audible, each with its own condition, the pretty girl was tricky and weird, and the stall owner was shrewd and shrewd, biting the price and not letting go.

"Little junior sister!"

Seeing this scene, the others were still a little inexplicable, but Qin Lang stood up suddenly, he didn't expect that the little junior sister he had been thinking about for months appeared like this, there was no shortage of smart people in the field, seeing Qin Lang react like this, combined with his words before and after, someone immediately reacted, and looked at Li Fan with some uncertainty: "These two are NPCs?" ”

"Nope."

Li Fan gave a negative answer, and then said: "First of all, I must explain that the traditional concept of NPC does not exist at all in "That Jianghu of Mine", because in the re-online virtual world, every aboriginal is a highly intelligent digital life with self-awareness.

If the original "Xianwu Era" created a world with a high degree of realism to some extent, then "My Jianghu" is to create a real world of rivers and lakes, where from the respect of a faction to the pawns of the peddlers, they all have their own wisdom, or cunning, or black-bellied, or innocent, or persistent, etc.

Some may ask, what's the point of shaping such a game world? I just want to say, please don't use the word game anymore, because when the characters of this world can shine into your real life, the real world and the virtual world intersect, and a character can always be by your side, talk to you, relieve your boredom, and talk to each other, are they just a bunch of data that doesn't care to you at all? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yun took a tray with a pair of ordinary glasses on it, but the frame of this pair of glasses was slightly larger and wider, and in addition, there was an electronic watch in the tray.

"What do they do with the new full-angle mimic glasses and information watches that our company has developed now? I won't say much about it now, but let you feel it for yourself. ”

While Li Fan was speaking, there were service personnel on the sidelines who entered the field with a set of equipment and distributed it to the people in the field, Qin Lang also got a set of equipment, and brought electronic watches and glasses under the guidance of the staff, but he didn't feel anything special.

Everyone in the field brought equipment, and Li Fan smiled: "Please feel the advent of a new era." ”

As he spoke, Li Fan pressed on his electronic watch, only to hear the sound of 'drop', as if something was activated, and then saw a tiny pillar of light shoot out from the watch and map to the lens of the glasses, and then two tiny red dots lit up on both sides of the frame, these two red dots formed a special connection with the electronic watch, and then the light pillar disappeared as if nothing had happened.

This kind of situation happened on every set of equipment in the field, Qin Lang didn't feel anything different, but when the watch was activated, the device on the glasses responded to it, forming some kind of unique connection, in an instant, he only felt that the world in front of him was like a wave of water, and at this time, Li Fan's voice came.

"Now, the message watch picks up the information and feeds it back into the full-angle mimic glasses, and the device is reshaping its surroundings for about ten seconds."

By the time Li Fan's voice settled, almost ten seconds had passed, anyway, Qin Lang saw that the scene in his sight had recovered, and it was still no different from just now, it was still an overcrowded venue, but he vaguely seemed to feel something different.

"The initial reshaping of the environment should now be completed, and now the scene you see may not seem to have changed, but in fact it is already different, in short, the full-angle mimic glasses use the function of AR reflection to project the virtual world into your world, but because the current virtual world image is a fully scanned real world image, the two completely overlap, so you can't feel the difference."

AR Reflection?

For AR technology [Virtual Augmented Reality], long-term immersion. Lewd. People in the game are certainly no strangers, there are some AR functions in the earliest mobile games, but it is the first time that Li Fan is so mysterious as Li Fan said, the indiscriminate overlap of virtual and reality, this sounds like a fantasy, and more importantly, what is the role?

"Mr. Li Fan, these things you said are a little too surreal, and more importantly, what is the purpose of this?"

Someone raised a question, Li Fan smiled slightly and did not respond directly, just turned around and looked at the light curtain behind a little, and then the picture on the light curtain became three-dimensional, but this kind of technology is not new, 3D vision technology is very mature now, but what happened next made everyone's eyes fall out in shock.

I saw that the delicate girl who was originally bargaining in the picture had just bought a jade wrench with satisfaction, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly, a narrow spatial crack appeared behind her, and her whole person was instantly sucked in.

The people in the market in the picture were all shocked when they saw this scene, and while retreating away from the spatial crack, they looked at the spatial crack with amazement, and these people's eyes seemed to shine through the light curtain into reality.

And in the eyes of these people, a dark and deep whirlpool appeared in front of the light curtain in the venue, and in the rotation of the whirlpool, the delicate girl was being squeezed out little by little.

"This..."

Such a real sense, so that many people were shocked almost speechless, a moment later, the pretty girl completely out of the whirlpool, the whirlpool disappeared in a flash, the pretty girl fell steadily to the ground and opened her eyes, and then looked around, she seemed to be able to see the people in the venue, and immediately said with a surprised face: "What is this place?" Who are you? ”

No one could respond to him, because everyone didn't know how to say it, and when the virtual characters in the light curtain appeared in the real world in such a way, even if the so-called 'AR' appeared, everyone was shocked.

"Little junior sister!"

At this moment, Qin Lang stood up suddenly, he didn't care how Li Fan did all this, he only knew that the little junior sister appeared and appeared in his real world, so he stood up ecstatically, and then rushed over regardless of it.

The pretty girl followed the prestige, looking at Qin Lang who was rushing over, she frowned at first, and after taking a few closer looks, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and said, "Senior Brother Qin Lang, you are Senior Brother Qin Lang!" ”

Saying that, the pretty girl greeted her, but when she got closer, this girl's eyes were red, and she cried, and said: "Senior Brother Qin Lang, you don't want me anymore, I have been waiting for you for three years, but I haven't waited for you, I thought you were the same as Sister Yun at the beginning, and you evaporated from my world silently." ”

Syllable...

Lin Yun, who was holding the tray, had a pale, and the tray in her hand fell, originally she just thought that this girl was a little familiar, but now how could she not know that the girl in front of her, who crossed virtual and reality, and appeared in the venue, was the little bean in the small mountain village?

"No, little junior sister, I, Qin Lang, just want to be by your side in this life, how can I not want you? It's just that something has changed, and I can't go back to your world for a while. ”

While talking, the two hugged each other, the little girl was not like a virtual character like a phantom through Qin Lang's figure, but like a real person, flesh and blood, there was a collision and entanglement of limbs, the two were excited, and the muscles were stacked and squeezed when they first came into contact, and when the mood calmed down a little, the strength of the hug weakened, the muscles relaxed, and the clothes slowly spread out, everything was so real and natural.

"How is this possible? How is it possible with today's technology to do this? ”

A fellow player in the game industry stood up in disbelief, and then he took off his glasses, everything in front of him didn't seem to change, but Qin Lang was holding a ball of air, everything showed that this was a realistic application of virtual technology.

For a moment, the professional thought a lot, if the upcoming new "My Jianghu" is operated in the way of a life game and carries the current technology, it must create a new era, imagine when countless otaku find their emotional belonging in such a game, and can take it out of the virtual world and accompany them in the real world, what does it mean?

And this is just the beginning, with the gradual maturity and full development and application of this technology, intelligent digital life will become a companion of human beings, they can accompany you to learn, play games together, travel together, do anything together, provided that technical support is provided, and this, with the current technical foundation is completely hopeful.

If human beings enter such a virtual era, what kind of monster will Tengyi swell into, because they control all intelligent life, for example, if they want to promote a product, do they need to advertise? It only needs to be used by intelligent life as an interview for its service, which is more effective than any sales pitch. For example, the dissemination of digital information, the construction of various channels, etc., it can be said that Tengyi has stood on the peak of the pyramid of a new era.

It was only at this moment that insiders understood what Li Fan meant by the new era.

Just when some people were thinking deeply, some people were shocked, Qin Lang and Xiaodouzi were talking small words, Li Fan said confidently: "I believe that by now, everyone should understand the true meaning of what I said before, new technology means the advent of a new virtual era, and now it is just the beginning, just like the equipment in your hands, I believe that with the continuous progress and in-depth research of this technology, the final AR reflection can be achieved. Bare. to the point of the eye.

This means that at that time, everyone can enter the virtual world with just one thought, interact with digital intelligent life, and start a different life. Or with a thought, you can turn off information intake, get out of the virtual world, and go about your life in the full real world.

In the future world, I believe that it will be a world in which human beings and intelligent digital life coexist peacefully and work hand in hand, and in the interaction of mutual feelings, we help them recognize and improve their souls; And they can use their unique skills, such as calculations, such as construction, etc., to help us study, work, etc.

Come on, from now on, let's welcome the new era that is coming. ”

Li Fan opened his hand, as if he was embracing the future, embracing his own future, and embracing the new future of human society, and at the exit of the venue, a man in a long robe appeared quietly, he looked at all this with a smile, and then waved his hand at Li Fan from a distance and turned away, leaving only two words in Li Fan's ears.

"Goodbye."
