Chapter 61: Three Hundred Years

Hearing that He Lei seemed to be a little alert, Zhou Heng had no intention of continuing to probe it, from He Lei's words just now, he had already gotten enough information. After a few more perfunctory sentences, and hung up the phone, Zhou Heng opened the plan and asked the main god, "How long will it take for this game to be made?" ”

"The basic engine takes about 54 seconds." The Lord God said, "You have to find someone else for the art, of course, if I sketch it or collect qualified materials from the Internet and process them; Combined with the time spent on optimization, registration, and encryption, the overall time will not exceed 3 minutes. ”

"What if you haven't completed the initial refinement? Just like when you landed. Zhou Heng looked at the newly bought computer in front of him and asked, "If the external computer is also replaced with our previous small notebook." ”

"About 1o minutes. Considering that I hadn't systematically acquired programming languages at that time, it wouldn't have taken 2o minutes if the efficiency would have decreased. The Lord God said, "Now that the general outline of the game is ready, do you want to try it?" ”

As the Lord God spoke, a small window had popped up on Zhou Heng's computer. A stickman character with a structural line appeared on the screen, and Zhou Heng familiarized himself with the key position according to the explanation of the main god, and the villain quickly began to act.

This is a 2D scrolling action game, exactly the same as the content in He Lei's planning book - just as Zhou Heng spoke, the main god had already made a half-finished product. At present, there are only some general details and functions mentioned by He Lei in the planning, but some basic functions have been completed. Zhou Heng tried it casually, because there was no art and detail optimization, and the game content was a bit monotonous and rough; The difficulty is too high, and it will be empty when touched twice by a monster, and the characters' movements are very stiff and the judgment is slightly strange.

However, these are all things that can be modified - looking at the game screen that is beating on the screen, even Zhou Heng, a layman, can understand the general progress of the game. Because the basic functions are already very perfect, you only need to collect some character actions in the movie, make some original paintings of the background and characters, enrich the game process, and then debug the number of jΓΉ, full of calculations, and a month is definitely enough. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but let go of the mouse and knocked on the table:

"Strange thing. In that case, I'm too miserable in that world, right? It took five years to make the first money with such a small thing, and then used the money to start a small company, and in two years it went public and became the world's No. 1 game company-"

"You mean ......"

"Even with the influence of the 'real fantasy' you mentioned, such a thing is absolutely impossible, right?"

"But it's already there. Saving zΓ i is reasonable, there must be a reason for this situation, or other details that we have not observed. ”

"But based on what we know now, there has been a clear contradiction in this matter." Zhou Heng touched his chin and pondered, "I need to rely on game companies to make money, so the sooner the time to play the game, the better; Since I can reach the number one in the world in two years, it means that the main god of that world is also secretly helping, and it is absolutely impossible to spend five years making such a small game. Taken together, we must have thought something wrongβ€”"

"Where do you think it is?"

"Maybe I didn't even think about making money with game companies in that world." Zhou Heng said, "Only this conclusion is based on the proposition that 'in the future we will use game companies to make money', and now that this proposition is uncertain, this conclusion is not valid." ”

"Indeed," agreed the Lord God, "according to my analysis, there must be something wrong here. ”

"Don't say it yet, let me guess," Zhou Heng said more and more, "In the future, we should use other methods - it is likely that we will also use the method of capturing souls, rather than making games to earn start-up capital." Now that there is no premise that I will make money from game companies in the future, this kind of speculation is more reasonable, right? According to the theory of 'real fantasy' you mentioned, after He Lei was labeled as an 'ordinary person in ten years', then among the three options of 'finding another target for soul capture', 'giving up the money-making plan' and 'thinking of other ways', 'finding another target for soul capture' is obviously more in line with the 'real' situation than the latter two, right? ”

"That's right."

In other words, I in that world, the trajectory is likely to be the same as ours - nothing more than lotteries, stocks or futures and the like, once the soul of the future is captured in the world in which I live, it is obviously not difficult to make money. So six years later, the game should have nothing to do with making money. Zhou Heng looked at the game on the screen, "This kind of humble game shouldn't be able to sell for a lot of money in a short period of time." In addition to making a reputation, the other role should be to hide people's eyes and ears. Although we became the world's No. 1 in two years, it can also prove from the side that we were not short of money at that time. ”

"Hmm."

"So, why would I make these games in that world?" Zhou Heng frowned and said, "If it's just an idle egg, it's impossible to do this kind of thing that obviously makes trouble for yourself, right?" Not only did I become the world's No. 1 showman, but I also had to publish the company's financial statements and expose myself to the eyes of the world after going public -- this should be against my way of life. ”

"And what do you think is the reason?"

"What can a game company do?" Zhou Heng asked, "It seems that it has no effect other than making money." Anyway, I'm not a game lover myself, and I think I'm the same in that world. ”

"As it should be."

"That can only be said in terms of what I might have for purpose." Zhou Heng continued, "Now I don't seem to have anything to do except replenish your energy. It is not excluded that after five years, I suddenly noticed that the industry was making good money, or I had some interest in games...... But for me now, that seems too far away. The only thing I can think of is supplemental energy. ”

The Lord God did not answer.

"If you only analyze it from this point, you will have the next upgrade in half a year, and then you will have to wait three hundred years - right?" Zhou Heng said, "Three hundred years is indeed a problem that I can't solve in a short period of time, is it because five years later, I realized that being a game company can collect additional energy for you, so I didn't hesitate to expose myself to make that game company?" ”

"And what do you think could be the reason?"

"I don't have enough information, I can't guess." Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders, "Right?" If it's not right, I can only tear my face and arrest He Lei and torture him. ”

"What a great plan." The Lord God sighed, "But your conjecture is very close to my reasoning. ”

"Then tell me about it."

"If it is assumed that 'opening a game company' has a certain necessity," said the main god, "then 'opening a game company' itself must have an effect that cannot be achieved by other more subtle and secure actions." ”

"What is it?" Zhou Heng scratched his head, "Alien invasion, or war with other worlds, or some other unexpected situation?" ”

"No...... In the future, we will be in a similar situation as we should be now. I can't imagine that in the future we will encounter any unsolvable unexpected situations, aliens should be impossible, if other worlds can ignore the rules of space to fight with us, it must be a terrible enemy countless times stronger than me, with our current ability is absolutely impossible to compete with them or escape, so this assumption is also meaningless. ”

"So ......"

In other words, the second clue - their situation should be similar to ours. As you said earlier - what we are doing in the future may well be the key to shortening the time it takes for my next energy refinement. That's all I can summarize. ”

"Okay, then I'll think about it. What we can't do in a more secretive and secure way now, and what can still help with energy replenishment, is it not a perpetual motion machine? Zhou Heng had an idea, "Could it be that you are using the game you made to brainwash future people, and then let them start making perpetual motion machines?" ”

"Unlikely." "The next time I expand the structure, I'll be able to make some devices that can invade the human mind, but I don't think they'll have anything to do with the game. ”

"What if you put this device into the game?" Zhou Heng asked, "For example, it's like the game helmet in the novel." ”

"No, I have my own rules that I can't interfere with the way of thinking of intelligent beings, and to change the memories and thoughts of intelligent beings, you can only do it yourself. So even if such a plan can be executed, it will not necessarily be easier to operate than brainwashing on the street. The Lord God said, "What's more, the biggest obstacle to your human beings in creating a perpetual motion machine is that the level of technology and social productivity is too low. Opening a game does not help much in creating a perpetual motion machine. ”

"And what else?" Zhou Heng pondered, "Could it be the one you said, the thing that wants to cover half of the earth?" ”

"Yes, it's the Matter Particle Exchanger," said the Lord God, "although I still don't understand it, but it is possible to implement this instrument through GuΓ² Games." ”

Zhou Heng was overjoyed, "Is this really the case?" What's the use? ”

"The Matter Particle Exchanger is very simple to build, even simpler than the structure of the Order Energy Harvesting Instrument we built last time," the Lord God said, "The only problem is that it requires a sufficiently large electromagnetic field to provide environmental support for its operation. Even the exchange of matter for a molecule requires the support of a magnetic field of hundreds of millions of cubic kilometers. For a large-scale exchange of matter, a giant magnetic field would need to cover at least half of the Earth. ”

"So what does this have to do with the game?"

"The simpler way is to inject a Trojan horse into a gaming device, and then let the electronic device with the ability to signal emit a fixed frequency of electromagnetic waves to complete this large magnetic field."

"This ......," Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, "and then we can carry out the material transmission with the other world with physical matter?" ”

"Yes, that's the only explanation for what we'll do in the future." "It's just that I don't know how this works. ”

"Didn't you just say that?" Zhou Heng asked, "Is it possible that it has something to do with our energy collection......?"

"That's why I say that I don't know what the benefit of this is," replied the Lord God, "and even if there were an electromagnetic field that could cover the entire earth, we would only be able to send some fragments of matter to the other world in a way that could be transmitted continuously. This method is too dangerous. ”

"Fragments of matter?"

"Because of the limitations of the exchange of matter between different worlds, it is impossible for us to send an entire substance to another world in a short period of time. The only way to do this is to use the same method as squeezing toothpaste to teleport the specified substance to the target world little by little. ”

Zhou Heng nodded, didn't answer again, and pondered.

After going around for so long, he probably understands what his intentions are in opening a game company in the future.

Things seem to have reached a critical stage, but there is one last issue that remains unresolved. He had discussed this question with the Lord God before, that is, how to use the otherworldly universe to obtain energy?

Tong guΓ² transfers the soul of the sub-material particles to another world, which can cause regular turbulence in the other world. But then what? After collecting enough energy from the Otherworld, Xian Zhou Heng was unable to collect them; Second, even if you can collect them, you can't teleport them to this world for your own use.

"Can you just find a world with a perpetual motion machine and teleport it?"

"You don't know about perpetual motion machines, and you can't find a world with perpetual motion machines without the 'real' associated with perpetual motion machines." The Lord God replied, "The transmission of matter is only one-sided, and can only be transmitted from our world to other worlds, and cannot be captured by other worlds to our world. ”

"Can I find someone who also has the Lord God...... Well...... No," Zhou Heng thought for a moment, and then said, "Can we find a world with other main gods, but that main god doesn't need to collect energy, and has the ability to extradite the energy of that world to us?" ”

"Nope." The Lord God said, "First, the transmission of matter based on 'real' has very harsh material exchange conditions, and secondly, you can't find such a Lord God. ”

"Why?"

"I'm not 'real' like that, you can't find a Lord God like that. Moreover, as the 'Lord God' as you know me, I am not a race, but an individual. No 'Lord God' who is determined on the basis of your 'fantasies' can deviate from my basic 'reality'. ”

"Aren't people and Batman also real?" Zhou Heng wondered, "But why were you able to find them?" ”

"Man is a 'fantasy', and my existence is 'real' to you. Although the clues of the world dominated by 'fantasy' also need a certain amount of 'reality' as a supplement, in this case, 'fantasy' is always the subject. In the world that is mainly determined by the 'real', the understanding and cognition of objective things are the core clues, and 'fantasy' can only bring about some fine-tuning and changes within the scope of rules, but it cannot interfere with the basic laws and objective attributes of things. "For example, when you determine He Lei, you can choose 'He Lei in ten years' or 'He Lei of Hercules', but you can't find 'He Lei with wings' or 'He Lei as a human being' - this violates the basic attributes and rules of 'He Lei' as a human being." ”

"It's so complicated...... Zhou Heng frowned, "then what if I remove the objective concept of the main god?" Is it okay for a world that has the ability to transmit matter to other worlds? ”

"No, you can't."

"Why not? In that case, that's what you call 'the target world with fantasy as the main clue', right? ”

"Do you yourself believe that there will be such a world?"

"Uh...... What does it matter? Zhou Heng was stunned, "I don't believe that people will really exist." ”

"This clue only appeared based on the need for 'I need energy from another world'. Just like rootless duckweed, no matter how strong your needs are, this world cannot exist in your subconscious, and it is not a complete 'fantasy'. ”

"And this kind of demand...... Is it because my fantasy is not specific enough? ”

The Lord God explained: "There are many kinds of 'fantasies', and the specific details of the same 'fantasies' are different for different people. For example, when you watch the person in the movie, you will feel that this is a character who objectively exists in zΓ i, although he lives in fantasy. Your understanding of the people in the film will also affect the specific concept of this 'fantasy'. The concept is close to 'real', even if you don't really believe that people can exist, it's a very specific 'fantasy'. But if we change people and replace you with human authors, this concept will not exist. ”

"That is...... Do I have a clearer understanding of people than human authors? ”

"Clarity doesn't have to be, but your understanding of people must be more specific than that of human authors. The same plot seems specific to you, but not in the eyes of the author. The Lord God said, "You think this plot is very objective and clear, but in the eyes of the author. Maybe it's a bridge arranged to please the reader, maybe he originally thought that it should be more reasonable to expand other developments, or maybe the director forcibly added the scene, it shouldn't be like this at all. For a 'fantasy', its creator is often the one who does not believe in the fantasy the least. ”

"That's ...... so"

After the main god explained for a long time, Zhou Heng could figure out the cause and effect of this problem.

Of course, if Zhou Heng wanted to replenish the energy of the main god by channeling the turbulence of rules in the other world, he would face the problem of not being able to transmit the energy back; But if you directly find a world that can transmit energy to other worlds, you will not be able to find it because Zhou Heng's fantasy is not stable enough.

After figuring out this, Zhou Heng immediately put forward his own proposal: "What if it depends on other people's fantasies? Find a movie or something that has that idea...... Or I just think of one myself, make a game, and then let others know about it, and finally let others who know the world locate it. ”

"Yes, it can be, but it should be difficult to execute."

"It's okay, it's better than waiting for three hundred years, right?"

"Three hundred years is not a long time."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After realizing that he had no common language with this kind of guy who had no concept of time, Zhou Heng finally understood why it took five years for himself in that world to think of this solution.

"Then should we just find one that has similar functions to a perpetual motion machine...... Or a world with other kinds of perpetual motion machines? Zhou Heng asked, "For example, there is a magic or move that can provide unlimited energy, and then we can continuously transmit the energy of this world to our side." ”

"No, I can't. The perpetual motion machine I am talking about is not a machine that can generate energy indefinitely, but a technology that can absorb the tidal energy of the universe through guΓ² technology. "If you don't understand this kind of rules and methods, even if you can 'imagine' a world with a perpetual motion machine, the energy rules of that world will be very different from ours. Even if it can be transmitted, it cannot be used. ”

In other words, can you only collect energy by creating regular turbulence in a world with similar energy rules, and then collecting these energy sources? But this is also good, if we can have one more energy in the world, we can save half of the time; If you can have two more worlds of energy, you will ...... Hmmm......"

"You'll save two-thirds of your time."

In the end, the IQ was still ridiculed by the main god once, and Zhou Heng didn't mean to be frustrated, "This is really a big show." ”

"It's really important in terms of saving time." The Lord God said, "But I still don't quite understand your human concept of time. ”

"Anyway, there's nothing to do idle, so there's no harm in trying." Zhou Heng said with a smile, "This time He Lei, this kid has made a great contribution, and when he is on the shelf, I will reward him with an alliance leader." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a while, Zhou Heng now completely figured out why he wanted to open a game company in the future - the information that He Lei inadvertently revealed became an important clue for him to solve the three-hundred-year problem.

Produce a large number of excellent games, so that half of the world's regions are covered by their own products. It sounds like an unrealistic idea, but with the help of the Lord God, it is not a difficult task.

Then, Zhou Heng can use the Trojan horse program in the game to make the world's computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices shoot some electromagnetic waves of natural frequency, shrouding most of the world in a specific magnetic field - using this magnetic field, he can make the machine qì that is enough to exchange matter with another world operate, and then send some intelligent machines with the ability to act autonomously, or other human beings into a world with similar energy rules and autonomous energy transmission methods to other worlds.

After that, Zhou Heng could use the rules of that world to teleport back the collected order energy. While a single world can only double the efficiency of energy harvesting, the time savings can be significant compared to waiting 300 years. If you can use this method to complete the 'colonization' of thirty worlds, then the next level of evolution, which would have taken three hundred years to achieve, can be completed in just ten years.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng's plan was almost preliminarily formed. It sounds a bit troublesome, but if you refer to the results of that world's own actions, it won't be that difficult.

It took only two years from the first game to become the world's largest game company. These seem to be a bit far away, though; And now what Zhou Heng has to do first is to reconsider He Lei's construction.
