At the press conference of the "Galaxy" online game, Li Hao beckoned, and more than a dozen security guards walked in, each holding two cardboard boxes.

Li Hao took a cardboard box and opened it, took out a helmet, held it up and showed it to everyone, and said, "This is a realistic game helmet." We invited reporters and photographers from those TV stations, and after the press conference, please move to the second floor, where each person can receive a helmet. This is a small gift to all of you to thank you for attending this event.

"There are a lot of friends who came to the scene today, and we didn't prepare so many game helmets, so we can only say sorry. However, the digital entertainment company accepts pre-orders from friends on site, and each person can fill out an order, and you can buy the first helmets when they are available.

"In addition, I would like to thank His Excellency President Jenani, whose support made Upt the first country to allow Galaxy to be put on sale. Upt's Ministry of Commerce will set up a large game Internet café here in the capital, and the game Internet café will be open to the public when the closed beta of Galaxy begins. ”

"The official website of Galaxy will be launched in a few days, so please pay close attention to the news on the website for those who follow this game. The exact timing of the closed beta will be announced on the website in the near future. That's all for this press conference, thank you all for attending, thank you! ”

At the same time, across the ocean.

In the small conference room of the CIA, Director Stanford pressed the remote control, turned off the large LCD screen, and looked around at his supervisors. "Let's talk about it."

The head of the technical department spoke first: "Let me start with three points. First, a globally unified server fleet, then the server processing power will be unprecedentedly powerful. According to their PR manager, the number of NPCs in the game will be more than 1,000 times that of players, and this kind of server surname can be too superior.

"Second, as an online game with a competitive surname, if the network latency exceeds 100ms, the player's experience is quite unpleasant. It is simply impossible to ensure that the network latency does not exceed 100ms anywhere in the world. Networks in some developing countries, in particular, have experienced significant latency. How to get the Wisdom Cube in these aspects, and how to ensure the smoothness of the game. ”

"Thirdly, virtual reality can be done through a headset, which is too high-tech to know how to do it. None of this is theoretically feasible, but Wisdom Cube has developed a commercial product. Technology is not just one step ahead, but two or three steps, or even three or four steps.

Another supervisor said: "I think there's something wrong with this game. Li Hao does not seem to have developed this game for commercial gain, but for some special purpose. ”

Stanford's eyes flashed, "Oh? ”

The supervisor said: "This online game application is not a single technology, but a collection of high-precision technologies in multiple fields. For example, what the technical officer just said includes at least advanced server technology, communication technology, and simulation technology, and any one of these technologies can bring a lot of money when used in other fields. Why do you have to use it for online games? ”

Stanford waved his hand and said, "Nonsense, is he still short of money?" Will you develop online games for money? If he wants to make money, he doesn't need to be so troublesome, he can directly double the price of Yaochi jade liquid, $100,000 a bottle, can you buy it? Can you not buy it? Of course, he developed this online game for a special purpose, the question is what exactly is this special purpose. ”

Another supervisor said, "To figure this out, in addition to the usual intelligence gathering, we have to start with this game, and we need to send someone into the game to investigate." In fact, the most important thing is Li Hao's technical source, no matter how talented a person is, he can't complete these technical research alone. ”

"Going into the game, it's a new idea. If he has a specific purpose, clues may be found in the game. Stanford sighed and said, "Forget it, there's not much point in guessing like that, let's get to work." ”

Two days later, Opt's reporter returned, and Lisa and her party had just gotten off the plane when they were stopped by two men in sunglasses in suits. The two of them shook their documents in front of Lisa and said, "We are from the CIA, and the three game helmets in your luggage have been expropriated, and we will have someone to talk to you about the compensation later." ”

"You can't do that, you're a robber."

"You can rest assured that the amount of compensation will be satisfactory to you. By the time the game starts the closed beta, we'll pay you a few more. ”

No matter how much Lisa and her party protested, it was to no avail, and the two of them directly took away the helmet, even the packing box and instructions. Three helmets were sent directly to the laboratory, and one of them was immediately disassembled for study.

Late that night, the first analysis was on Stanford's desk. For an initial report that was completed in less than ten hours, it was a thick one, more than eighty pages. Stanford first skimmed through it quickly, then read it word by word, and the more he looked at it, the more terrified he felt.

The structure of that game helmet was not complicated, with only twenty-nine parts, which was surprisingly few. Some of the components in the assembly and fixed position account for 12, which is not much technical content, and the remaining 17 parts are the parts that can really play the function of the helmet.

With only 17 components, it completes the conversion of electrical energy, communication, brainwave exchange, brainwave and server signals, and virtual vision, hearing, touch and smell.

From the analysis of this helmet, it should not have a communication function. Because there is no network interface on it, no components have been found that can use the terrestrial network protocol, not even radio elements.

How is this possible? It's understandable not to use a wired network, but there's nothing to emit electromagnetic waves. After repeated laboratory inspections, it was confirmed that after the helmet was activated, no form of communication signal was detected.

Stanford doesn't think all three helmets are bad, and even more sneering at the claim that this helmet has no communication function, how can there be no information exchange on an online game terminal? There is only one explanation, then, that the helmet's method of communication is unknown to humans.

An unknown means of communication, how big is this in the military? It's unimaginable.

……

In a unit in a community near Huaxia University of Technology, Li Hao's classmate Wang Guangchuan sat in front of the computer, opened the browser and entered the official website of "Galaxy".

"The site is still under construction......

Wang Guangchuan closed the browser, and two days after the press conference, there was no news about the "Galaxy" game at all. Every game fan is full of expectations for this game, and Wang Guangchuan is no exception.

Wang Guangchuan spent all four years of college in games, and his professional level was almost at the bottom of his class. After graduating, I worked in a company for half a year, and I quit my job because I felt that there was no future.

After resigning, he opened a Taobao online store, and usually runs an online store while engaging in game video commentary. It was a dismal business at the beginning. More than a year later, he has become well-known in the commentary circle, and he has only become well-nourished.

In the past two years, the click-through rate of his videos on the Internet has been very high, bringing a large number of customers to Taobao store, and at the same time, the popularity of that online store has also started, and he is very high among his classmates in terms of income. Of course, it can't be compared with Li Hao and Pan Bin in the same bedroom.

Li Hao once wanted to ask him to help with the Wisdom Rubik's Cube, at that time his online store had already started, and he always liked to develop in the game circle, and he always had a persistent and crazy love for games. Although the income from the Wisdom Cube will be much higher, he still sticks to the game field in the end and does what he loves the most.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Wang Guangchuan saw that it was Li Hao calling. Since the second semester of his junior year, he has not met Li Hao, and it has been more than three years since he graduated, and he has only spoken on the phone a few times with each other, but Li Hao's news, he often sees it in newspapers, TV and the Internet.

Before you know it, this former classmate has achieved his own incredible achievements and has reached heights that his peers cannot look up to. But every time they talk on the phone, Wang Guangchuan doesn't feel this gap, and they are still the same as they were at school.

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Hao's voice came: "Guangchuan, now that I also make games, you have no excuse not to help me." I know you like games, you didn't come to the Wisdom Cube before, I didn't force you, this time you must come to help me, you must. Listen to Pan Bin, do you have a girlfriend? ”

"Damn, Pan Bin's big mouth. Actually, it's not a girlfriend, I've only known her for more than three months, and I don't know what her attitude is towards me. ”

"You can't compare to Pan Bin in this point, if you like it, you have to confess it quickly. It's not easy to meet a good girl, and someone will snatch it away if you start a little later. So, you have to be thick-skinned. ”

Wang Guangchuan said: "Don't talk about me, what about you, I haven't heard that you have a girlfriend." ”

"I, I already have a wife, but I haven't registered in Huaxia yet, and I don't want the media to know. In this regard, I am more advanced than Pan Bin and you, you have to hurry. That's right. Come on a trip to Upt with your girlfriend. You won't be disappointed with this game. ”

Wang Guangchuan also wanted to try this game, and he didn't shirk it: "I, let me ask her, she hasn't competed recently, and she is also looking forward to "Galaxy", so she should go with me." ”

"Competitions? What does your girlfriend do? ”

"A StarCraft pro."

"Huh? Playing interstellar sister paper.,It's not simple.,Which race to use? Do you beat her? ”

"She fights the Protoss, but when she fights me, she always uses the Terran that she is not good at, but every time she uses mechanized troops to abuse me so that I can't find the north. Only once did I put a 6d and drag up the farmer and won that time, the only time. ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "If you hit your sister with paper, you will also put 6d, or the whole family will flow in waves, this is too shameless." ”

"Is it good that she's a professional player, what style of play hasn't she seen? It's not easy to win once. Hao, I haven't done it in a long time, and I don't know what else I'll do. ”

Li Hao said: "I want to set up an electronic magazine to report on the major events that happened in "Galaxy". It's a news media in the virtual world. You're not only a game commentator, but also a reporter and editor in the game industry, and this job is a good fit for you. ”
