Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Big Guy Drinks Tea
The Zerg are a race that does not have an individual consciousness, and either acts according to instinct or according to the spiritual instructions of the Zerg Empress.
If Mo Lan wants to control the Zerg to do something, she needs to issue continuous and different mental instructions to each Zerg soldier very carefully, just like controlling the puppet to complete the corresponding actions with her own hands.
Because the Zerg can't make their own conscious judgments, if Mo Lan wants a Zerg to bring the items on the table for her, then the spiritual instructions she wants to issue are definitely not as simple as "bring things over", but "go to that position, pick up the things on it, and walk back", she wants to clearly tell what to do.
Only the individual with the ability to think will understand the meaning of the mental instructions for himself, so as to make judgments and decide how he should complete the process.
The Zerg only need to be guided by Mo Lan one by one in terms related to instinct, such as the behavior of hunting and predation, as long as Mo Lan transmits a consciousness, the Zerg will use the most appropriate method to capture prey and find food, if Mo Lan is allowed to manipulate the Zerg to do this kind of thing, it will not be able to exert the ability of the Zerg individual.
From this point of view, it is understandable that the successive Zerg empresses have chosen a simple and crude development model, no matter how powerful the spiritual power is, it is impossible to control countless Zerg at the same time, so they can only issue orders in general, so that most of the Zerg will act according to this order, and the details will be adjusted separately.
It can't be said that it is lazy, but it can only be powerless.
To sum up, Mo Lan could only issue an order to the two tentacle insects guarding the door, "Guard the door, non-Zerg intruders will be killed", and could not do more.
As for the hatching nest in the nest and the corpses of the prey to be transformed, Mo Lan didn't have to worry about it, just like the shops or merchant NPCs that will be in the game, the hatching nest is equivalent to the store, and the energy point is the game currency, you can see that there are a lot of goods in the store, so can you snatch it? Apparently not.
…… Then Mo Lan realized that she had misestimated this group of players.
The reason why the game store can't be moved away is that in those games, the store is just a sticker, and the game character doesn't have a corresponding action.
But what this group of players have in front of them is a completely open free world, where they can try out all the actions they can think of and get the normal feedback they deserve, instead of the game characters getting stuck in front of a wall of air or a weapon hitting a wall through the mold......
This thing can be moved, and the players find out about this fact, and then they move it away, and the stunned gatekeeper Zerg turns a blind eye to the strange behavior of their kind, and still guards the door diligently.
"......" If it weren't for the fact that other races couldn't disguise themselves as Zerg and blend in, with this level of guarding, the Zerg Empress would be successfully assassinated by humans eight hundred times a year, Mo Lan pressed her eyebrows and had a headache.
However, she is not afraid of what loopholes the players will get into after moving away from the hatching nest, there are two ways for the Zerg to eat, one is to eat the food through the mouthparts, which is converted into energy by itself to support the body's actions, so most of the Zerg have a sharp and exaggerated tooth.
The other is to convert the prey into energy through the hatching nest, and use the tentacle-like nutrition tube to directly deliver it to the Zerg, just like humans playing glucose, which is fast and convenient, and the conversion rate of energy is high, and it is not wasted.
On this basis, Mo Lan additionally set up the existence of "energy points", which is equivalent to the current in-game currency.
The hatching nest can convert the prey into energy, but these energies, the player must not be able to carry with them, I have not seen anyone go out to bring a dozen catties of lunch on the body, more than the part of the energy that they can absorb, it must be calculated and accumulated, becoming one of the players' possessions.
Energy points are converted into numerical values and distributed to players in the form of data, as the same existence as game currency, although now energy points can only be used to exchange for new game characters, that is, the number of resurrections that players say, but Mo Lan will definitely add something else in the future to prompt players to trade energy points.
The initial ratio is that 2 parts of energy is equal to 1 energy point, and if the hunting ability of players comes up in the later stage, Mo Lan will also increase the ratio between the two as appropriate to maintain the "game balance".
Moving the hatchery nest doesn't bring any real benefit, if anything, it saves them more than twenty minutes of walking from the hillside of the spawn point to Zerg Lair 1.
However, Zerg Lair 1 was originally one of the rest points that Mo Lan prepared for this group of players, so what was the point of moving things out of the house?
Mo Lan didn't know, and the players themselves probably didn't know much about it, but they just wanted to do it, so they did it.
"May I ask, what's the point of you moving it here?" Squatting next to the hatching nest, Tang Dynasty chestnuts looked at the people who collapsed on the ground with a sincere expression, the Zerg would not feel tired because there was no individual consciousness and no concept of tiredness.
Players are different, after doing one thing for a long time, they will inevitably feel "tired", which may be physical or psychological, coupled with the repeated decline in satiety, which also affects the players' sense of the game character they control.
"I don't know." Daqin Qianqiu Wandai replied honestly, his words were simple, "I have moved all the people back, it will definitely be useful." ”
"The meaning is, we can move it over." ”
"Have you ever wondered where the limitations of this game are? What we can do and what we can't. For example, the game of Cosmic Star Tour, although I haven't played it, but I've read a lot of reviews, it's very perfect, from what you want to do at the beginning to what you can do later, it's all been prescribed, and players just need to experience it step by step. ”
"But "Zerg" is different, it is still in internal testing, and the players are only us, the game panel is so simple that there are only a few lines of content, and the game tasks are even simpler, no game guidance, no novice tutorials, nothing, everything has to be explored by ourselves."
"So, is there a possibility that the game production team actually wants to see this, and they also want to confirm how far we, as players, can go in this holographic game with a very high degree of openness and freedom."
Several other people were shocked by this passage of Guang Ming's falling stones, and after a while, they felt quite reasonable.
"Wasn't this game made by the production team? Don't they know what they can do in the game? Tang Dynasty chestnut weakly raised his hand and asked.
"You should all have heard that the cosmic star game uses a new artificial intelligence system, this artificial intelligence system should be different from your imagination, not the kind of intelligent AI like humans that is common in film and television dramas, but purely as data calculation, artificial intelligence with a certain logic."
"Just like this, how much computation do you think humans need to do to achieve such a real effect, and how much data they need to run. ”
"The biggest feature of holographic games is that they are real, so real that people think that this is the second world, but how huge a whole world is, not a room and a tree, but a combination of countless variables."
Therefore, Cosmic Star Tour has chosen a clever mode, stipulating the process of the game rigidly, so that the amount of data cannot exceed the calculation range of artificial intelligence, which seems to allow players to choose freely, but while drawing out options, it also delineates that players only have these choices. You can also see that the Zerg are different, the production team is very ambitious, and they didn't choose the same trick as the Cosmic Star Tour, they are indeed accomplishing the goal of the 'second world'. ”
"Therefore, the cosmic star game has been put on the shelves, and the Zerg has just started the internal beta, I don't know what kind of marketing means are posting on the forum, but it can be seen from the post that the production team is also an attitude of exploration, they are actually the same as us, and they are full of unknowns about this world."
"Oh oh oh, I understand, I understand, the big guy has a tea first." Tang Dynasty chestnuts were taught, and the red fruits picked by her and the princess Mengyi were bent down and held in both hands, and the fruits were used instead of tea.
Princess Mengyi glanced at the Tang Dynasty chestnuts in surprise, but she didn't make a sound, quietly with the curvature of the corners of her mouth, watching Guangming Lei fall into the well and take the fruit and throw it into her mouth.
"This fruit tastes so good...... Hmm......" Halfway through his words, Guangming suddenly stopped his mouth, picked up another fruit with a calm expression, and handed it to the nearest Great Qin Qianqiu Wandai.
"Thanks." The honest man Qin Qianqiu Wandai said thank you, and threw it into his mouth without much doubt, "It's quite fragrant...... Uh......"
"Wow, what's this, it tastes so good, bring me one too." The courier smelled the sweet smell of the red fruit after the skin was broken, and got up to ask for it.
"Give." Guangming Lei fell into the well and his voice trembled slightly, but his tone was smiling, and the downwind courier didn't notice anything wrong, so he took a few and put them in his arms, and tasted them unceremoniously.
Li Ruhua was a little sharper, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and was just about to look at the others, when Princess Mengyi suddenly appeared in front of her, and handed over a red fruit, her voice was sweet and gentle, "Here you go." ”
"Ah, thank you." Knowing that behind the terrifying insect in front of her was a rich lady, who was said to be very beautiful, Li Ruhua raised her hand embarrassedly and took it, forgetting what she was going to do, and sent it directly to her mouth.
"It's so sweet...... Oh, it's so bitter...... Whoops...... "With a miserable scream from the downwind courier, the unbearable Guangming and the Great Qin Qianqiu Wandai made a vomiting appearance at the same time.
Li Ruhua, who realized that something was wrong but had already thrown the fruit into her mouth, stared at the princess Mengyi, who was silently retreating, with a face full of disbelief that this rich lady, who was said to be very gentle and amiable, would plot against him!
The sweet aroma fills the entire mouth, but in just a moment, all the sweetness turns into an indescribable bitterness.
"Boom...... Where did you two find this thing...... Whew...... It smells so sweet and tastes so bitter! ”
