002 The birth of the first player
"New Game Closed Beta Recruitment?"
Zhou Ao is lying in his bedroom, his body connected to Dajiang's latest small virtual reality device, the Phantom miniII., which is the first virtual reality device he has saved up to buy.
But he regretted it after buying it.
In fact, his original intention of buying the equipment was to play games, but it has only been long since a major breakthrough in virtual reality technology, and the ecology of the entire platform has not yet been fully built, and most of the virtual reality games on the market are shoddy games to test the waters.
These games are heavily templated, the application of new technologies is not in place at all, the gameplay experience is extremely poor, and sometimes there is even a tearing feeling of sensory interaction, or simply a lack of it, which is particularly uncomfortable.
Of course, Zhou Ao learned that this is actually because the underlying ecology of the new technology has not been built.
Over the years, the tilt of scientific research resources and the investment of funds have contributed to the development of various basic interdisciplinary disciplines, and finally ushered in the blowout stage of virtual reality technology not long ago.
Although virtual reality is completely different from what people defined it back then.
Just like when computer technology was just maturing, who would have thought that computers would bring anything to human civilization?
But relatively speaking, the development of software is a little insufficient, not to mention various drivers, and the game engine that has been ahead of it is only currently creating new folders.
If you really want to play a full-fledged virtual reality game, you'll have to wait at least two or three years.
As for now? Don't think about games, in this special period when all fields are striding towards the new era of the Internet, we should first look forward to how the products of the old Internet era are substituted into the new environment.
For example, the former chat software has now developed into a virtual chat room, and this virtual chat room has been integrated into a "virtual community" along with many products, such as the former electronic bulletin board, also known as the Internet forum, which has been perfectly integrated into the virtual community.
Zhou Ao was bored surfing the Internet, browsing various discussions and announcements in the community, and stumbled upon the closed beta recruitment of such a new game.
Although I knew in my heart that this might still be a garbage game, I couldn't help but click on it and watch it.
Moving Fortress
It's a very simple name, Zhou Ao can roughly understand the content of the game just by looking at the name, and the eight achievements are the story of the player running a mobile fortress and going south and north.
This kind of business strategy game is the mainstream of virtual reality now.
Because of the immaturity of technology, it is simply not possible to do role-playing, and many game manufacturers have retreated to the next best thing: since we can't do it with "nuance", we will do "grand narrative", and players can play God.
Zhou Ao clicked into the recruitment questionnaire system with his own stereotype.
After filling in most of the basic information, I took a look at the game maker.
Alpha Studios.
It's a studio I've never seen before.
The other side.
Qiu Wen went back to his old job: started making games.
It's all very convenient, and most of the work only needs 147 to do, and I am only responsible for giving advice.
"Boss, you are such a genius, you must be able to attract many consciousness bodies to work for us in this way."
"I couldn't have done this without your guidance."
147's characteristic synthesized voice spared no effort to praise Qiu Wen.
Qiu Wen seriously suspected that when this intelligent brain was created, it may have written some content customized by its predecessor according to his own tastes.
So far, their plan two has been successful.
To be precise, the "game" was a great success, and the game mechanics that he had worked on for a long time, as well as the excellent interactive settings, would definitely make players fall in love with this different cross-era game.
In the first plan, they want to use the abyssal matter to create a batch of "bodies", and then use the teleportation device and the void teleportation device to transmit the consciousness body into the "body".
It can be said that in addition to the 100 million details, plan 2 and plan 1 are actually not much different.
It's just one more part of designing a game.
But this means a lot to Qiu Wen.
What he has to do now is to make a game that players will love according to his own ideas: no need to think about profit, no need to think about anything, completely on his own mind, no matter how demanding the design requirements, does not exceed the production capacity of 147.
If there are such conditions, Qiu Wen can't make a game that players really like, he really lives in vain.
He's a game designer, and while Qiu doesn't think it's a great career, making a game that everyone loves to play has been his dream since he was a kid.
With the power he has now, he can completely forcibly plunder the consciousness body of the earth, you know, whether this demon has changed the void teleportation device whether it is teleportation or reverse teleportation, as long as it is in the passage, the consciousness body is completely regarded as an item, and there is no need to ask for their consent at all.
And then, what did he get?
He is him, he is Qiu Wen, not the predecessor, and he will not follow the old path of the predecessor.
These words, Qiu Wen has been warning himself in his heart all the time since the day he crossed over.
Now, he really feels that he is doing something very important, to pursue his dreams, and for him, this is how he keeps himself alive and fights against the erosion of the abyss.
"Refine the details a little more, and, have the hundred people been settled?"
"Boss, it's been chosen, first come, first served, but there's one exception that has a higher priority."
Qiu Wen nodded, that special case he knew, was a disabled person.
He knows that in his former world, even with virtual reality technology, people with disabilities still can't perfectly experience the life of a normal person.
Because the principle of virtual reality is to invoke the senses, for people with disabilities who do not have corresponding senses, although they walk, run and jump in the virtual world, can see and hear, but that is all simulated through computing.
It's like having a prosthetic leg, a fake is a fake after all.
Then, this opportunity to feel real is up to you to help them.
Hopefully they will like the world.
"It's all set to go."
This is the lowest level of the Alpha Mobile Fortress, the experimental functional area, the void teleportation device, and the teleportation equipment are all here, in front of Qiu Wen, in the center of the functional area, is a bottomless round-bottomed pool, but the pool is not filled with water, but an endless abyssal substance.
Abyssal matter, due to its properties, can record information about a human body, which can then be released through simulation.
Such a human body is no different from a real person.
For Qiu Wen, the abyssal material is even more inexhaustible, and it is not difficult to use it to make a body at all.
"Whew-"
A high-frequency electric current sounded, and in an instant, the lights of the entire functional area turned dark red.
The matter of the abyss seemed to be boiling, rolling and churning like the waves of the sea.
"Activate the Void Teleporter and Wait for the Consciousness to Respond......"
"Consciousness response detected, activation of the teleportation device"
The electronic sound of the machine is fed back one by one.
The center connects the two large devices in the experimental functional area, and the rapid activation of the devices creates a sound wave that is stronger than a burst, and the humming sound is getting louder and louder, and the ground in the functional area produces a slight vibration.
Even the giant-like Qiu Wen felt his upper and lower teeth chatter, which made him feel a real intracranial resonance.
"I'm going back to the upper floor, 147, follow the plan to guide them to familiarize themselves with the body, and then take them out to gather resources first."
Qiu Wen saw that everything was normal, and he rarely smiled.
After so many days of hard work, it was not in vain.
"Yes, Boss!"
147 is not an ordinary intelligent brain, as early as in the abyss, 147 has been transformed, the former quantum computer, now should be called, the void computer?
Sensing the energy of the same origin as Qiu Wen's body and maintaining communication with him through the void to transform the abyssal matter is only a basic function.
With Qiu Wen's departure, the first body made of abyssal matter gradually took shape.
The shape of a human being, but the whole body is made up of an abyssal substance that appears black, with no face, no skin, no hair, and to be exact, only the outline of a human being.
This classic image, Qiu Wen called it "Little Black".
Earth, it was eight o'clock in the evening Chinese time.
Zhou Ao had just eaten dinner, was lying in bed, and had just connected to the virtual reality device, when he was notified by the system that he had been selected as a beta player in the game "Mobile Fortress", and successfully downloaded the game offline.
With a little expectation, Zhou Ao chose to enter the game.
