Chapter 253: A Snowball Rolling Down the Mountain
Somewhere in the capital.
In a brightly lit conference room, more than double digits of men and women of all ages sat around a table, and the table in front of them was a three-dimensional monitor, and the people around the table seemed to be observing the gods of the mortal world, and the object of their observation was the game world named by Wanhua Company.
The observers also had paper documents and a seven-inch tablet at hand, and some of them were watching the players and NPCs inside with great interest, while others were flipping through the documents in their hands and swiping around on the tablets.
Finally, a middle-aged man sitting in the top position coughed softly and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, after this period of observation and research, I think you should be interested in this game... Let's call it the game world, I should have a deeper understanding of this world, and now I have a few questions that I need to know everyone's opinions. ”
Everyone looked at each other, then focused their eyes on the middle-aged man, waiting for his question, and the middle-aged man raised a finger:
"The first question: if this game becomes a game for all people, then what kind of impact will this game have on social reality, I mean a significant impact."
The middle-aged man's question made everyone frown involuntarily, and after a moment of silence, a gray-haired man spoke:
"Minister Li, in order to answer this question, it is necessary to understand what players can get out of this game. If it is only for spiritual enjoyment, then the impact on society will not be too great, and I can even be optimistic that the impact will outweigh the disadvantages. ”
The middle-aged man didn't speak, just nodded noncommittally, and then swept his gaze to the others, and another middle-aged woman spoke:
"I agree with the first half of Professor Yang's opinion, and the second half is meaningless, Minister Li, although the project planning documents we have seen are incomplete, I can roughly speculate that this game will strengthen the souls of the participants, right? I noticed the timeline setting. ”
Minister Li nodded, and slowly spoke under the gaze of everyone:
"Xiao He's guess is right, it's not that we didn't give a complete planning document, but that the planning document itself is like this, and the essential purpose of the project has never appeared in the planning document."
Ms. He immediately spoke:
"I'm sorry, but I was subjective."
Minister Li waved his hand and turned his gaze to everyone again, because his question had not yet received a substantive answer.
Ms. He seemed to want to make up for it, and said before everyone else:
"Minister Li, if that's the case, I mean, if this goal can really be achieved, and it has obvious practical effects, then this game will have a serious impact on reality. First of all, this game will change the fundamental needs of society, because of the change of needs, the whole country from eating, drinking, and lazing, to spiritual and political demands may be affected, this change is from the bottom up, from the inside out, everywhere. ”
Another gentleman waited for Ms. He's voice to fall, and immediately picked up:
"Yes, and the change in basic needs will lead to the restructuring of social functions, which is a huge change, which is completely equivalent to the big reform that we have carried out before, and in order to ensure that this change is under control, from now on, the government should mobilize and prepare."
Minister Li nodded, and then turned his gaze to a man with a slightly pale face and slightly dark eyes.
"If the game is really successful, of course, as long as the possibility exists, we have to be prepared. In addition, I think that this game will definitely bring a lot of negative things to the game, such as the possibility of ethnic division, the rise of liberal ideas, a sharp increase in crime, and so on. ”
A man in uniform on the opposite side immediately said:
"This really should be taken seriously."
Minister Li still nodded, and then after everyone had expressed their opinions, he roughly summed it up, and everyone's opinions were divided into two types, one was more optimistic and inclined to use the game to fully reconstruct the world, and the other part focused on the problems that would be faced, of course, both of these ideas were correct, just to balance.
"Well, the second question: how should the existing social structure, including the power structure, adapt to future changes."
As soon as Minister Li's question was raised, the scene that seemed a little enthusiastic just now immediately cooled down, this topic is not easy to discuss casually, and if you make a mistake, you may be accounted for.
Minister Li smiled:
"You don't have to worry, if you really don't want to say it, then use it, you can submit it anonymously to my mailbox, or in this collection box here, rest assured, you can speak freely, we need everyone's wisdom."
The people looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
......
The same is the capital.
In another conference room, there were either white coats or military uniforms.
A general with a white head and two flowers on his shoulders was solemnly asking the white coat standing in front of the big screen:
"Mr. Xu, what you just said is to prove to us that this god... All the acts of sacrifice are still procedural, and there is nothing beyond the norm, right? ”
The white coat nodded seriously:
"Yes, according to our analysis, this reincarnated god, every word and deed is a reaction set in the program, and there is no trace of derailment, so we believe that Wanhua Company's internal testing has not achieved the expected purpose so far, which can also be confirmed through data analysis."
Another sitting military chief said:
"Doesn't that mean that our detection methods may not be able to detect really useful data?"
"Yes, we have been expanding the scope of detection as much as possible, and so far, we have not found any anomalies, or perhaps, there are no anomalies at all."
The gray-haired general frowned and said:
"Scientific research doesn't exist, and isn't there any valuable information that the goals of Project 1 are indicating?"
The white coat shook his head and pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose:
"No, it said that if you want to get this information, you need to continue experimenting, and at least for now, it can't help us."
Several soldiers looked at each other, and the gray-haired general looked at the white coat with great meaning and said:
"Chief Engineer Xu, what is your opinion?"
"Me? As a scientist, of course I'm in favor of continuing Project One, but of course, it's up to you. ”
"No, this is not something we can decide, we have received an order to send personnel into the second phase of the internal test of Wanhua Company, occupying at least thirty percent of the share. Our main purpose today is to get a briefing on the first phase of the experiment, as well as some tips and advice from you about the second phase of the experiment. ”
After a pause, the old general said again:
"As for Project No. 1, our military has no opinion."
The white coat sighed, nodded and said:
"Got it, everybody."
The content on the big screen has changed, and it is a page of document content:
"This is the main plan for the second phase of the closed beta, and there are basically no major changes to the technical level and game planning, of course, there are still details of the modification, we have analyzed, compared with the previous ones, the main thing is to patch vulnerabilities and improve the balance, and it has little impact on the essence of the game."
The white coat paused, stepped aside, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then walked back to the same place, pointed to a certain entry, and said:
"The main change in the second phase is to open this main plot 'The Resurrection of the Lord of Dreams',According to the setting,Players have to assist the Lord of Dreams to fight against the so-called'Invasion of Nothingness',The content can be seen for yourself,The background plot boils down to one sentence is 'There must be a dream to fight against nothingness',As for the gameplay of this plot,It is that players build it themselves,From the item road building,The more you build,The more interesting and novel you build,The more rewards you get。 At the same time, the second phase will open up Level 2 skills, with a wide variety of skills, which you can refer to yourself. ”
The white coat turned another page, then pointed to the text on the screen and said:
"This is our preliminary analysis, in the second stage, Wanhua tried to enhance the sense of substitution by strengthening the playability of the game, the purpose of which is to improve the emotional index, so... Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to enter the game with soldiers, of course, just a personal opinion. ”
The old general was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"And who do you think would be a better fit to enter the game?"
"Teenagers, no doubt!"
......
In Lin Hai's office of Wanhua Company, Lin Hai was saying the same thing to the little monk Xuanyi and Zhang Xiaoyun who were sitting opposite the desk:
"Teenagers, we need teenagers, lots of them!"
The little monk Xuanyi and Zhang Xiaoyun glanced at each other, and Zhang Xiaoyun hesitated:
"Minister Lin, this... It doesn't seem to be a good thing, after all, we can't be sure if there will be any adverse effects on participating in this internal test, especially teenagers, their three views are not stable, and their will is not strong enough, in case..."
"That's right, it's because the three views are not stable, so they have more ideas, so it's easier to invest in real emotions, as for the danger you said, I don't think it exists, this, it's just a game, and there is no bloody violence, it's just a construction game, at least for now."
"But, but..."
Lin Hai waved his hand:
"Don't be, you've all looked at the data, and in the data by age group, the emotional index of teenagers has blessed the average efficiency index is the highest, and the lowest is the batch of places taken by the Institute for Cultural Strategy, isn't it?"
The little monk Xuanyi and Zhang Xiaoyun nodded together, and Lin Hai smiled:
"So, of course we should respect the data, you just need to convey my opinion, and you can't control it if they agree or not, that's it, when will the terminal be in place, when will the second phase of testing begin, and also, Master Xuanyi, are you ready over there?"
The little monk Xuanyi nodded seriously:
"No problem, the program has been tested, and the servers are ready to go."
Lin Hai snapped his fingers:
"Very well, then let's hurry up!"
