It's been more than a month since the release of Imperial Tek's online game "Interstellar".

Domestic sales were about 280,000 copies.

To be honest, this number has made Wang Huan and Imperial Technology very satisfied.

These 280,000 players are completely playing under huge pressure from public opinion, because in the current environment, people who play the imperial technology game are likely to be scolded as traitors.

Of these 280,000 copies, there may be tens of thousands, not real players, but schools.

It's weird.

It's just that the movie may be chartered by the school, and the game is even underwritten by the school?

Is it a forced apportionment?

It's really not, it's because a professor of astronomy at a top university is also a fan of Imperial Technologies' games, and he bought and downloaded Interstellar for the first time.

Then he was shocked.

For several days, he didn't really play the game, but explored the planets.

It's really fascinating.

In particular, several planets in the solar system are too well done and too realistic.

Of course, this is just a game after all, and it is impossible to completely restore the entire planet's landscape.

But it's impressive enough.

First of all, when looking down from the air, when flying at high altitude, the appearance of several planets in the solar system is already extremely consistent with all the available data.

The geographical features of several planets, weather features, and so on and so forth.

And when you land on a planet, it will also give you a very detailed and complete map.

This map has mountains, rivers, etc.

It's also AI-generated, but it's very much in line with the data characteristics of these planets.

As a result, this game caused an unprecedented sensation in the small circle of the astronomy department.

One to ten, ten to hundred.

Almost the entire circle of astronomy has downloaded this game.

Then I forgot to sleep and eat, and indulged in it almost all day and night.

God knows how hungry these astronomy lovers are.

Now in 2012, the British BBC's documentary "The Miracle of the Solar System" about the solar system has been released.

Countless astronomy enthusiasts have worshiped it as a masterpiece and watched it over and over again.

At first, I was very satisfied, but gradually I became very dissatisfied.

Not high definition enough, not detailed enough, and the relevant information is still not enough.

Of course, in 2019, it will still be "Planets" produced by the BBC, and there will be ultra-high definition, and the production pictures of each planet in it will be much more detailed.

And there is already a lot of CG in it, as well as several simulated pictures of the planet's surface, which are no less than movie pictures.

But it's really not enough.

After all, it's just a documentary, and you can only watch images.

But now this game "Interstellar", you can really explore.

And it's ultra-high-definition.

There are almost hundreds of astronomers in the game.

Of course, it's a very friendly pick.

This process has sparked a huge controversy.

An astronomer finds a bug in the game and discusses it in a small circle.

After a heated argument, the final conclusion was reached.

They were wrong, and they were right in the Interstellar game.

Over and over.

In the end, all the astronomers were conquered.

Of course, it is correct, because three hundred years later, several planets of the solar system have long been thoroughly studied.

Countless pictures, countless videos.

There's even a trip to Mars and the like.

Of course, a lot of this is classified. Therefore, Imperial Technology is selectively making games, and a lot of important data, important models, are not made public.

But it's enough to shock all astronomers.

Astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts from all over the world, one for everyone.

Immediately afterwards, all the astronomy departments of universities around the world had to buy this game, and all students also had a copy.

After this group of people bought the game, they didn't enter the plot, they just explored obsessively.

Moreover, basically all the time and energy in the early stage was focused on the major planets of the solar system.

Many secondary schools around the world, and even primary schools, teach astronomy.

are also direct references to the game footage of "Interstellar".

It's obviously a game, but it's a textbook.

It's a whole world away.

After Notre-Dame Cathedral was burned, Ubisoft said that it would like to provide detailed data for the restoration of Notre Dame.

Because in the game "Assassin's Creed Revolution", Notre Dame Cathedral is completely reproduced.

Ubisoft's games are hard to describe, especially the Assassin's Creed series, formulaic, repetitive, the plot has no soul, etc., etc., etc., which have been constantly complained about.

However, when it comes to scenery and architecture, Ubisoft games are textbook-level.

France in the Revolution, Greece in the Odyssey, and the game scenery in it can all be specially visited by people.

Of course, Imperial Tech's "Interstellar" is much more awesome.

Because, it restores the solar system.

As for the Milky Way, there is no information on it, and it is completely speculation.

Therefore, I don't know if the description in "Interstellar" is right or wrong.

But...... Super shocking.

Super stunning.

Because in this game, there will even be a black hole scene.

Of course, that would require a very high level of civilization to explore black holes.

Domestic players, in addition to astronomers.

Next up are the game fanatics and fans of the Doomsday game.

After these people bought the game, they were also shocked.

After sightseeing for several days, a small group of people left because they were really not interested in the game content.

But most of them still insisted on completing the plot of the stand-alone part.

Then, they also understood why they were selling the base game of 299.

Because even as a single-player game, it's very shocking and amazing.

And the stand-alone part is to let you understand the story background of this game, as well as related technologies.

Only after you are familiar with the background and setting can you really get into the online game part.

And just a stand-alone plot, there are fifty or sixty hours of process.

Therefore, even if it is sold as a stand-alone game, 299 is already very conscientious.

After playing single-player, enter the online game section.

Many players couldn't bear it anymore and quit the pit.

Because...... It's too hard.

The data is too hardcore.

Especially to develop Starfleet, it is really necessary to colonize planets and exploit resources.

And the relevant colonies really have to arrange strong defenses and create a large number of robots.

There are also drawings of various warships, the construction of an interstellar arsenal.

It's so unfriendly.

And it's not friendly enough to the Lone Ranger, because it's really hard to develop a strong fleet on your own.

In short, it's just hard.

The bar is very high.

There are game fanatics who have worked very, very hard, but ...... It's still hard.

Eventually, I have to give up.

But what I really like about this game is that it's completely obsessive.

I can't believe that there is such a game that can be so like-minded.

A group of highly educated talents, or not highly educated, but fanatical science fiction enthusiasts, avid astronomy enthusiasts.

Obsessively groping in the game.。

First the lone ranger, then a few friends together, and finally the whole circle together.

Ally.

Build power.

Colonies, city-states, kingdoms, empires......

As long as the strength is strong enough, everything is fine.

Run for president or king in the game.

Of course......

That's a very late thing.

At the beginning of the game, it is destined to be a big brawl.

However, many people will soon find out that war is not a very good choice in the game, and even a very cost-effective option.

Alliance, trade is the better choice.

At the beginning of this game, many people were in high spirits to fight the national war.

Chinese players and American players are going to break out in Star Wars.

Later, most of them found that they thought too much.

Because, very, very far away.

You won't even be able to find out which planets the American players are on, and even if you did, your fleet wouldn't be anywhere.

Unless the tech tree has progressed to a certain level, you will be able to spot your enemies and lock them on.

to be able to carry out a real interstellar expedition.

At first, let's peck each other.

..................

"The "Interstellar" game is so awesome, should we take the initiative to promote it and pull more people in to play?"

"Don't ...... , never. Other games are player-selected games, but "Interstellar" is completely a game that selects players, and they don't have enough ability and knowledge, and they are also guilty of coming in to play. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it would be embarrassing if there were a lot of kings in the interstellar game, and there would be a force name like love around the corner. ”

Gradually, the players of the game "Interstellar", formed a closed circle.

This circle is full of superiority, as if it stands on the top of the pyramid of the game.

When I talked about other online games, I had an expression on my face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

I want to despise you, but my temperament doesn't allow me to do that.

And this circle has gradually developed from games to reality.

Three months later!

"Interstellar" sold 390,000 copies in China, but only 100,000 people actually recharged on a monthly basis.

At present, these 100,000 people are the hardcore players of "Interstellar" in China.

And this game has caused a sensation abroad, even far more than "Doomsday".

The world's major game media once again scored a neat and full score.

The last time I scored a perfect score, the major game editors were full of initiative.

And this time, I scored a full score, and I was completely trembling.

Because, about the universe and astronomy, most game editors don't understand.

But I heard that deadly astronomers around the world are saying that the restoration of the solar system by "this" game has reached the point of incomparably terrifying.

It has even been used as an electronic textbook by the astronomy departments of many top universities around the world.

Game editors,Actually, there are quite a lot of people.,Some can't play.,Especially when it comes to online games.。

Quite a few people can't hold on anymore.

But...... Everyone felt that it wasn't that the game wasn't good enough, it was that I wasn't good enough.

I don't understand, and I don't dare ask.

Close your eyes and score a perfect score.

Domestic players are also careful to engage in their own small circles and carefully reflect their sense of superiority.

And for foreign players, it's completely naked.

The core players of "Interstellar" have unabashedly listed the chain of disdain.

Especially in the top science and engineering universities, if you don't play "Interstellar", then you are not outdated, but ignorant.

It's like in "The Big Bang Theory", where Sheldon seized the opportunity to laugh at Howard for not being a doctor.

Even if Howard later became an astronaut, he still had to be ridiculed by Sheldon.

At every gathering, this group of top students talked about other online games, that kind of disdain, that kind of disdain.

Give a sheldon-san's disdainful face.

A few months after the release of "Interstellar", global sales eventually reached 20 million points.

This data also completely frightened Wang Huan and Imperial Technology.

How can it be so high?

It's a game with a high threshold, and it's a very unfriendly game.

Even the stand-alone part, although it is very exciting, is not very friendly.

It's an absolute niche game.

How could there be such a high sales volume, and this sales figure can enter the top few in the world.

Later, the relevant report came out.

Part of the reason why sales are so high is because of the fan effect of Doomsday.

Countless fans of the "Doomsday" game, after playing this game, are extremely fanatical, extremely obsessive, and then go into hunger.

Because there is no longer a game on the market that satisfies them.

Although the dream engine of Imperial Technology is used, it will take at least a year or two for the new game to be launched.

The graphics of the game "Doomsday" are so realistic and shocking, and playing other games is completely bland and unsightly.

And at this time, "Interstellar" appeared, which was also Imperial Technology, and had a more shocking picture.

Coupled with the global gaming media, it is almost frantically touted.

is even higher than the praise of "Doomsday", an absolute masterpiece.

As a result, countless players have entered the pit.

But...... This game is too niche after all.

After many players buy it, they are really sightseeing in the solar system.

Many players forcibly completed the content of the single-player part, and that feeling was like being taught a hundred math and physics lessons.

When it comes to the online game part, I can't bear it.

In the end, the number of monthly subscribers who stabilized was only more than 2 million.

Among this batch of monthly users, there are many players, who are sightseeing types.

Some are casual, there are many such players, they develop civilization, and they don't build interstellar arsenals, let alone starfleets.

After discovering a planet, they started farming.

Just build a house in it, the city, build a garden.

I don't deal with people either, and I have turned the "Interstellar" online game into a game.

And there are so many planets in it.

Even if a planet is discovered, the player will only occupy a very small piece of space if they try their best to build it.

And then......

Inexplicably, there are more monthly users.

There is an influx of casual players who are building cities in the game.

And for the safety of their city, they choose to take their city offline, that is, only store it on their own computers.

Then, a few friends will be invited to visit each other.

And most of these casual players are girls.

Faced with this situation, Imperial Technology was a little stunned.

This...... This......

"Mingming" is a majestic Star Wars game, and you played "Minecraft" by force.

And what's even weirder is that this kind of casual player and player who develops an interstellar civilization does not interfere with each other, as if they are not in the same game.

Because casual players take their cities offline and basically join the cosmic trade.

Well, they can't join the Cosmic Trade either, because their civilization level is too low, and they don't even have the qualifications to join the Cosmic Trade.

Then, Imperial Technology watched the global monthly subscription users rise from 2 million to 3 million, to 4 million, 5 million?

The number of casual players is starting to surpass that of hardcore players.

Those hardcore gamers are sad and feel that their sense of superiority has been deprived by a group of casual gamers who don't know anything.

You...... It's up to you......

Such a silly and sweet girl actually came to play such a hardcore "Interstellar", you are afraid that you don't even know what the gravitational acceleration is, right?

Could it be that the grand occasion of "Animal Crossing", in which a macho man picks up branches, will be staged several years in advance?

Then Imperial Technology was also confused, and found that after the game "Interstellar" sold for two billion dollars, the monthly subscription cost also exceeded more than 200 million US dollars.

Foreign monthly subscription, $50 per month.

You just spend $50 playing Minecraft in it?

........................

"Wang Huan, how many domestic players are there in Interstellar? I'm talking about hardcore players?" asked Han Qiu.

At this time, she was also enthusiastic to build a house and a garden in the game.

"Barely 100,000. Wang Huan said.

Han Qiu said: "What about the United States?"

Wang Huan said: "500,000." ”

Han Qiu said: "The gap is so big?"

Wang Huan said: "Yes. ”

Han Qiu said: "Then when there is a national war in the future, won't we China suffer a lot?"

That's inevitable, it's not even the will of Imperial technology.

Although in the game, the player forces of China and the United States are still far away.

But one day, the colony planets of both sides will collide together.

In the future, there will definitely be an interstellar war.

Wang Huan has seen the relevant data, and the overall strength of American players is much stronger.

In the event of an interstellar war in the future, Chinese players will suffer a lot.

"What should I do then?" Han Qiu said: "Will you change the data in the background to let Chinese players win?"

Wang Huan said: "It's impossible, just want them to feel the real interstellar war." ”

Han Qiu said: "If this continues, Chinese players will never be able to win." ”

Wang Huan said: "In the future, the situation may change. ”

Han Qiu said: "Change a fart, Chinese players are opening treasure chests in garbage online games." They all scolded the "Interstellar" garbage game circle money on the Internet, and scolded you for not dying well. ”

Then, she was a little worried and said, "Your company won't have problems recently, right? It's rumored outside that your company will be punished, and the game "Doomsday" will be completely taken off the shelves. ”

..................

Recently, Imperial Technology has indeed encountered relatively large turmoil and trouble.

First, the blacklist.

Blacklist millions of people and publish them.

Many leaders are not used to it.

At a very high-level meeting, a high-level leader criticized Imperial Technology by name.

To say that the blacklist is to create confrontation and social contradictions.

So the relevant departments directly ordered Imperial Technology to cancel the blacklist.

Deadline.

Immediately afterwards, the game "Doomsday" caused a bloody storm.

A first-year junior high school student got into a fight with someone in a black Internet café and slashed someone with a knife.

In this group fight, three were killed and five were injured.

So, it caused a monstrous wave.

In an interview on a TV show, the killer's mother said that the child's father played the game "Doomsday" every day.

The game is extremely bloody and extremely violent.

And the child watches his father play games every day, which is why he becomes so cruel.

Next, in the TV screen, a large number of images from the game "Doomsday" appeared.

After all, this is the end of the world, the world environment is very harsh, and of course it is full of violent conflicts.

The picture, of course, will be bloody.

And many television stations, and even newspapers, list these violent and bloody images separately.

In an instant, it stimulated countless parents.

Countless people in society.

Suddenly, countless people shouted and killed.

Many experts and professors, many of whom have written to the relevant authorities, asking for the game to be banned.

However, in fact, it has been investigated.

Those children were playing a free online game in a black Internet café, and their equipment was blown up in the game, which caused hatred, and then quarreled in reality.

Battles have moved from online to offline.

That's what led to the tragedy.

Although after the incident, there were also media reports on the relevant truth.

But it's useless, the first version that circulated, it was because the kid watched his father play the game "Doomsday", and the pictures in it were too bloody, which caused him to use a knife to cut people.

Time.

Public opinion is surging.

"Completely ban the Doomsday game!"

"The game of "Doomsday" is a big poisonous weed, persecuting the growth of teenagers. ”

"This kind of bloody game should not be listed at all, and the relevant departments should be held accountable. ”

"We don't know, how does this kind of game get approved? It's hard to say that there's no power and money in it. ”

However......

This game is clearly written in the most prominent places, and it is an 18+ game.

Minors are not allowed to play.

Moreover, Imperial Tec has banned the sale of this game to teenagers under the age of 18.

But in China, you say that grading is completely useless.

In China, there are only two levels that do not need to be graded. ，

One level, raw.

One level, die!

........................

Imperial Science and Technology ushered in two working groups, and the officials who led the team were not low-level.

Both working groups brought ultimatums.

"Mr. Wang Huan, this blacklist must be canceled within three days, otherwise we will severely punish Imperial Technology!"

"Mr. Wang Huan, the game "Doomsday" must be fully deleted, and all the violent and bloody pictures in it must be deleted, otherwise we will ban this game and punish Imperial Technology. ”

..................

Note: The second more is sent, there is a monthly pass, and a few rewards will be given!
