Number One Game Designer

Chapter 397: Prelude to the era

The process of the game is very simple, even a little bit lackluster.

Because this is currently the first VR game, its model is F1 racing. In this game, players control a costly but extremely difficult to tame F1 racing car. What it has is only a palpable speed, except In addition, there is no drift, no nitrogen acceleration, and no opening of the car door to fly into the sky.

But it also brings up another problem. What will happen to a group of people who are usually too fast to drive 100 yards and give them a car that can accelerate to 300 yards in ten seconds?

People at the Hongyi exhibition can tell you that according to what they saw on the broadcast, there are only explosions, explosions, and endless explosions.

Of the twenty-five players, twenty-four players’ cars were not on the track, or drove into the stands, or fell on the protective wall, or broke in two, and the only one stayed honestly on the track. The car didn't start at all. Its driver, Yu Jiashu, was curiously looking around and looking around, feeling here and there, looking excitedly, he was already a bit addicted to this feeling.

This first wave of experience came quickly and went quickly. The game compartment opened quickly, and the players who came out of it crawled around, some with dull eyes and some wailing.

"Oh my God, I really didn't hit you on purpose, please forgive me..."

This is driving the car into the stands.

"If I can survive, I will take my driver's license and I won't be lazy! But I really don't want to be burned to death, mother!"

It seems that this driver's car has been interrupted in two in the game.

Fang Xi watched and rebroadcast these images with great interest, until the medical team came on the field to pick up these players. Some of them might need psychological treatment to avoid any sequelae.

Facing the players who still couldn't empathize, Fang Xi said:

"This is what I said before. A real world is virtualized, just like what these players experienced just now. When they sit in the game bay and put on their helmets, no matter which direction they look in, they seem to be in reality. Use your own eyes in the world to see the same, and then the helmets they wear have a device that emits the smell of the car. It is a collection of nylon and other chemical fibers and rubber."

"Then when they start accelerating, the helmet will simulate the air rushing to the ears, and the device that fixes their bodies on the seat will pull their bodies back to simulate an acceleration effect, and then the crash will vibrate, and the burning of the car will simulate burning. The smell of burnt and high temperature, and even some places scratched by sharp objects will give his skin the sensation of being pierced by sharp objects."

"In this way, do you think he can tell if he is not in the real world?"

Fang Xi’s narration was not in a hurry, as if a student was introducing a very good essay to the teacher. The players at the scene were a little silent, but then there was applause slowly, and finally the applause was like a violent hurricane, which swept through. This Hongyi Carnival.

"Of course these are only relatively rudimentary simulations. After all, there are still some differences between the tactile sensation that is simulated by the device and the real one, but I have been able to imagine the future means with you. Some of the communication between our neurons is the propagation of various electrical signals. , So if we are sufficiently advanced in technology in the future, then we can open a hole in the back of our brain and make a special interface. We can use this interface to block the signal connection between the brain and the body, but instead use a computer to simulate the body’s nerves. Meta’s signal, is this the equivalent of living in a virtual world?"

"And in the very far future." Fang Xi continued to imagine:

"Can we cultivate our brains in a training tank, and then connect the brains to the virtual world? Does this achieve immortality in a certain sense and live in a virtual world forever?"

The scene was quiet, Fang Xi knew that he should leave:

"In the primitive age, our game was hunting beasts and painting on the rock walls. Later, we were able to play anagrams, guess riddles, play games, and enjoy some intellectual entertainment, but I want to say that in the future, we You can decide what feelings and emotions your brain feels. By then, the walls of reality and virtuality may be broken. Technology is advancing, and our games are also advancing."

"These game warehouses will later be transferred to Ferrari's booth in the comprehensive exhibition area, and all players can go to the queue to experience and get a glimpse of the brilliance of the new generation."

Compared with Hongyi's first and second days, the length of the exhibition on this day is exceptionally short.

But as there is a saying in current affairs news: "The shorter the news, the bigger the matter."

This is also the same. Press conferences that are less than half an hour before and after are destined to be constantly mentioned in the next few years.

The night disappeared and Fang Xi's image had disappeared, but the players still did not move in their place. They excitedly shared all their thoughts and feelings with the people around them, and the reporters who rented the place were also on the sidelines. Rufei also dialed the phone:

"Hello? Editor-in-chief? I want the best position today! I know that the position reserved for Hongyi Carnival is very good, but I want the best, best and top position! FANG has made a big move again!...No No, no, it's not the level of a major earthquake in the gaming world, it should be said that it is a huge earthquake of the level of an asteroid hitting the earth!!!"

...

Ripple was not destined to dissipate in a short time, Fang Xi leaned on the chair and sighed comfortably after taking off the sound collection device on his body in the control room.

Lu Wanqi on one side laughed and said:

"You are comfortable here, but the outside world is going to turn the sky."

"So what." Fang Xi shook his head without opening his eyes. For him, the fatigue and satisfaction of making big news are intertwined, and he has a different kind of pleasure, watching the world change under his own hands. Feeling that the world is like an ancient well in front of him without waves, and he is a little boy standing by the lake with a stone in his hand, and he feels a different kind of refreshment.

"The world will always change, why can't we change it?"

"All of our future games will be developed around this VR?" Lu Wanqi was a little puzzled.

Fang Xi shook his head: "No, this is the most direct way to open up a new financial avenue for us, because of this kind of game equipment, we currently need to produce a set of nearly 20,000 costs, and most people simply can't afford it, so we In the future, there will be an additional department dedicated to producing VR games for high-income players."

Lu Wanqi nodded and wrote it down, and then waited for Fang Xi to continue saying that Xiaolan was rarely with Fang Xi today, and Lu Wanqi consciously assumed the duties of an assistant.

"Then naturally it is the other technologies brought by the VR technology itself, just like AR technology is based on VR research. In addition, in order to study VR, we have technologies such as sound collection, tactile feedback, etc. With a big breakthrough, Hongyi is already a technology company, and we are a big company by relying on these patents alone."

Fang Xi said this very plainly, but Lu Wanqi raised her eyebrows, and the technology company really had the power to dominate the entire industry.

"So of course the next step is to increase the budget for the VR research room, and then there should be a lot of technical personnel who are interested in us after the big news."

"Anyway, some of us are busy."
